Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 66 Sea God Cult (2/2)

They don’t need to be the future or carry hopes; as long as they can live happily, healthily, and peacefully, that was enough.

Lady Isaac remained silent on the spot for a long while, as if pondering something that required deep thought, before she calmly spoke:

“I have a potion I got from a Priest of the Silver Moon Church that can help your child grow more smoothly, Margaret.”

After she finished speaking, she briefly left and then returned with a bottle of dark blue potion, handing it to Margaret.

“Drink it, it’s good for the child. He, oh, she will receive the Moon Lady’s blessing.”

Margaret smiled, but instead of drinking it directly, she said, “Thank you, I will drink it when I get home.”

Lady Isaac remained silent for a moment, nodded, and did not insist or force the matter.

Margaret and Byrne had made a pact not to partake in any ceremony, pray to any mysterious beings, drink any potions or beverages of peculiar colors, or to stay alone at the tea party.

She had asked Byrne curiously at that time.

“Why do you know so much? Besides, there shouldn’t be any problem with the Moon Lady.”

Byrne remained silent for a long while, then said he had read many books about religion and mysticism, so he might be a bit paranoid in this aspect.

The two then left Lady Isaac’s house, who accompanied Margaret and Chris as they left the estate, before she silently returned home.

Inside the carriage, Irene waited calmly, her gaze fixed outside.

The world outside was shrouded in white mist, as if everything was engulfed in some vast mystery, and the tranquil serenity of the town seemed as if it could be shattered in an instant.

“Why did you come back to me? I really thought I’d never see you again.”

Suddenly, Lady Isaac’s somewhat irritated voice emerged in Irene’s ears.

Well, who was she talking to?

Irene realized that what she could overhear today might be quite different from before.

“I really don’t want to see you. The Isaac family has found a new place now, and if it weren’t for your arrival, everything would have been peaceful!”

“Have you said enough, my sister?”

Suddenly, a starkly different male voice appeared in her ears.

The words just now were specifically addressed to a sister, but Irene knew one thing for sure, Lady Isaac only had a brother and never had an older sibling.

Or perhaps, nobody knew of the existence of her elder brother.

“Sister, the members of the Isaac family can’t escape their fate. Our great-grandfather chose this path, so we, as descendants, must continue it.”

“When you were young, you were also a faithful member of the Sea God Cult, having personally killed members of the Tempest Church, your hands already stained with blood. Now you try to escape it all, how laughable!”

“Alright, did you give her the potion? Did you watch her drink it?”

Irene heard Lady Isaac’s voice, tired and helpless.

“Yes, I gave it to her, but she refused to drink it right there and then.”

“What? Why didn’t you force her? If the ritual lacks elements, and you fail to complete the mission, the Priest will definitely not spare the Isaac family!”

“You should think about it again and make sure about the potion! Don’t think you still have a chance to escape it all!”

Her elder brother was clearly unsatisfied, even a bit furious, followed by the heavy sound of a slamming door and a long sigh.

Sea God Cult.

Of course, Irene knew that name; they were the arch-enemy of the Tempest Church on the East Coast.

Their organization and power were far more solid and formidable than those jungle natives of old, with an extremely long and profound history. The primary task of the East Coast’s Tempest Bishops was to completely eradicate these people.

Those people had their sights set on the port town Nasir.
