Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 64: Rune Fusion (2/2)

Moreover, it would be best to acquire the rare artifact possessed by that mysterious person, as the mere “Collectible” grade mysterious rare artifacts were becoming less and less satisfying, and the prospect of breaking through the subsequent seals seemed distant.

——

“I have felt the will of the great Lord of the Lost!”

Down in the basement, Irene, who was praying, suddenly perked up, her face beaming with a joyous smile.

She had sensed the will of the Lord of the Lost, followed by a sound—an indication that Byrne was descending the stairs into the basement.

“You heard it too, didn’t you, Irene?”

He looked at Irene with a grave expression, and the girl nodded calmly.

“A mysterious stranger has arrived at the Isaac knight family’s abode, carrying with him what our Lord desires.”

Byrne nodded slowly, lifting his hand as a blue light surfaced in his eyes, speaking of the events that had just transpired.

“I feel that the power of the runes that can be activated seems to have been enhanced; it’s as if I have been further graced by the great Lord of the Lost.”

Irene, without a hint of envy, congratulated him sincerely with a smile:

“Congratulations on receiving more of His favor, Byrne! Surely, your continuous devotion and actions have all been seen by our Lord!”

Although Byrne hadn’t given it much thought, he felt embarrassed the moment Irene finished speaking.

He believed in his loyalty to the Lord of the Lost, but in terms of devotion, he was nothing compared to Irene, and yet he was the one who had first received further divine favor.

“Byrne, we cannot simply enjoy His favor without giving back to our Lord. The great Lord of the Lost has long graced His protected mortals with blessings, and we too must learn to give our utmost efforts.”

After speaking these words softly, Irene gazed at the silent Byrne with absolute calm.

Her meaning was clear: whether through trade or other means, they were to offer the Mysterious rare artifact to the great Lord of the Lost.

The Isaac family, is it? Byrne mused before continuing:

“We have discussed this just a few days ago, haven’t we? There might be something amiss with the Isaac family. Let’s wait until the ‘Secret Ear’ Chris is carrying is introduced into their midst and then decide on our next move.”

Having learned of Margaret’s involvement in the tea party, he had already become vigilant.

For the past ten years, Byrne had been continuously studying and reading about religious matters, and he could make many associations.

He didn’t directly restrict his headstrong wife; instead, after giving her several precautions, he had handed her a piece of paper with the symbol of the “Secret Ear” to carry with her, and he had arranged for a female guard capable of attending the tea party with her.

Afterwards, Byrne also contacted the sons of Grandma Narda, having the thieves’ guild collect information and covertly investigate the current state of the Isaac family, yet so far nothing suspicious had been discovered.

After reflecting for a moment, Irene still shook her head and said, “At least during this time, I haven’t heard anything out of the ordinary.”

“I had even started to think there was nothing wrong with the gatherings of the Isaac family, but after the divine oracle of our Lord, a mysterious person with Level 2 strength suddenly appeared inside the carriage of the Isaac family, so now I am unsure again.”

Having lived in Nasir for a full ten years, both of them were very familiar with the Isaac knight family.

The head of their family was Lady Isaac.

She was a female knight with high-level Beginning strength, skilled in swordsmanship, and a person of great strictness and solemnity.

Besides, she had a brother in his thirties, a mid-level Beginning Bloodline Knight, who was also an “Element” type Spellcaster—an extremely rare fortunate individual capable of dual cultivation.

But they had indeed never heard of any Bloodline Knight reaching the Transmutation level in Nasir nowadays.

Byrne clenched his fist in silence, sensing that an unknown crisis had come to Nasir Town and could potentially endanger his family, yet he contained his impulse and continued:

“We must maintain sufficient caution and not rashly engage with an unknown Extraordinary Exponent, let’s gather information first.”

“Yes, indeed, the Fischer family must always remain cautious.” Irene nodded in agreement, heartily concurring.
