Chapter 250: Chapter 240 Emerald Lake Province
Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM .The leader of the team that left Nasir Town was Darren Fischer, while the dozen or so followers included the teenager Karno Fischer, Sunbelle, and two young Daybreakers.
These two young Daybreakers, who walked the Path of Forging and the Path of Calamity, had both stepped onto the 2nd Rank.
There are two types of Blood Receivers in the entire Dawn Church, the Daybreakers raised from the orphanage, and the Proselytes who joined the Dawn Church through other ways.
Among them, the number of Daybreakers was as many as thirty or so, while there were about a dozen Proselytes, and in total, the fifty or so individuals constituted the entire extraordinary exponents of the Dawn Church.
In total, fifteen Blood Receivers successfully ascended to the 2nd Rank, while those who reached the 3rd Rank were few and far between.
The Cyart Kingdom is comprised of five provinces, with two of them located in the north, namely the East Coast Province at the northeast and the Ahornblatt Province at the northwest.
The East Coast Province is the smallest of the Cyart Kingdom's provinces, roughly one-tenth the size of the entire Cyart, containing only Fein City and Phelps Port.
Ahornblatt Province lies in the northwest of the Cyart Kingdom, a bit larger than the East Coast Province, with poor natural resources and a long history of poverty.
The only prominent family existing in Ahornblatt Province is the “Wrathful Angel” Jones family.
Situated below the East Coast Province and Ahornblatt Province is Glenborough Province.
Glenborough Province is elongated, located at the center of Cyart, and used to suffer from frequent famines. It was the largest yet least affluent province during the early years of the kingdom's founding.
In the past few decades, however, Glenborough Province has developed quite rapidly.
Despite its land area being nearly three times that of the East Coast Province, most of it is occupied by four major families: the “Shattered Giant” Hovern family, the “Fog Wayfarer” Abernathy family, the “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” Castleton family, and the “Wasteland Beast” Frosac family, with a small exclave belonging to the Romann family.
As a result, it is a province where hardly any small families exist.
The southern provinces of the kingdom are Elfeniania Province and Emerald Lake Province, with the southwestern Elfeniania Province located directly beneath Ahornblatt Province, and the southeastern Emerald Lake Province situated right below the East Coast Province.
Elfeniania Province is very affluent, most of its land owned by the “Blood of Salvation” Adley Royal Family. The religious atmosphere here is intense, with the majority being followers of the Salvation Church, and they harbor prejudice against the followers of other True Gods Churches.
The Adley family has always steadfastly sided with the Salvation Church, firmly believing they are descendants of the Lord of Salvation, though the Salvation Church has never formally and publicly acknowledged this claim.
In Emerald Lake Province, the two major families are the “Ruins Song Spirit” Middell family and the Romann family, to which the Fischer family pledges loyalty.
The Fischer family's route to the Royal Capital is actually spoon-shaped; they need to first visit Banyoles City in Emerald Lake Province to meet the Duke Black Iron of the Romann family, and then proceed to the Royal Capital to attend the celebration ceremony.
If they're in luck, they might even travel to the Royal Capital with Duke Black Iron.
Emerald Lake Province is the most beautiful environment among all the provinces in the Cyart Kingdom.
When the Fischer family traversed the thick primitive forest and waded across the crystal-clear streams, they reached this marvelous land, where lush trees were abundant and well-scattered.
The streams were full of crystal shards, twinkling with colorful light, like natural gemstone channels, and the air around was incredibly fresh.
“Boom.”
The high waterfall cascaded from the cliff top, raising sprays of water that fell like a curtain of rain, creating enchanting light and shadow effects, with mist forming spectacular rainbow bridges.
“Beautiful place, hehe,” Darren said, spotting a clear stream flowing slowly not far away, adding a touch of soft color to the surroundings, and went over to kneel down for a big gulp of water.
Sweet and invigorating, utterly refreshing!
Karno couldn't help but squint his eyes and laugh, “This is Emerald Lake Province, truly the most beautiful place in Cyart; our journey here is like entering a fairy-tale world.”
“If I have the chance, I want to live in this kind of place forever.”
Darren chuckled, walked over, and gave Karno a slap on the back of his head.
“Forget about it! Being born into the Fischer family means you'll be working for the Fischer family your whole life!”
Sunbelle and the Daybreakers looked at the two key members of the families with an unrestrainable respect in their eyes, while the curiosity and admiration filled the hearts of the other family members around them.
The Fischer family's traveling group soon officially arrived at the city where the Romann family's main house was located, in Banyoles City situated on the eastern shores of Emerald Lake.
A tall Daybreaker from the Path of Forging sighed and said,
“If we had come straight by boat from the port of Nasir Town, and then landed from the port here, we would have saved many days. Alas, you two insisted on traveling by land.”
Darren laughed heartily and said, “There's plenty of time before the celebration ceremony, so a few days' delay is no big deal, haha, and if we had taken the boat, we wouldn't have been able to pass through Glenborough Province.”
He paused, then added, “Glenborough Province, that province completely divided by the four major families, I've always wanted to see it with my own eyes. After all, it is Cyart's largest province, its area nearly making up a third of the entire kingdom's land, extremely important.”
The Daybreaker from the Path of Forging asked, “So what does Lord Darren think after seeing it?”
Darren nodded gently and said, “Indeed, it is a land of fertile soil. Although it was a poor place a hundred years ago, it has now become the most important grain-producing area with a very large population and vast farmlands.”
He looked around and calmly shared his knowledge:
“Emerald Lake Province, though not populous, does have a large number of mysterious creatures. The Romann family originally made their fortune by trading a vast amount of high-level transcendental materials.”
The Daybreaker from the Path of Forging nodded lightly and said:
“Yes, Emerald Lake Province is deliberately preserving many areas where people are not allowed to cultivate, expressly for the reproduction of these mysterious creatures.”
Darren said with a smile, “We can't just finish it all at once and leave nothing for those who come after us. The Romann family of Emerald Lake and the ‘Ruins Song Spirit' Middell family certainly understand this principle.”
Karno had an indifferent attitude all the way, quietly humming a tune.
Darren had originally thought Karno quite similar to himself, but soon realized that he was utterly different.
The man had an unusually broad-minded and carefree mentality.
Heh.
Well, I am exceptional!
Banyoles was a very clean city, that was everyone's first impression. The next thing that struck them was the abundance of plants here; it was probably a place that elves would greatly enjoy.
Because not only was the air in Banyoles fresh and the trees lush, but there were also vines on many of the houses. The sides of the roads were lined with all kinds of roses, forming a colorful and fragrant corridor that delighted the senses.
Passers-by were filled with curiosity about the Fischer family and their retinue.
“I understand now why some have said that Banyoles hasn't changed much over the last few decades; it's because Duke Black Iron doesn't want this city to be changed by those steam engines.”
Sunbelle, who was part of the group, had eyes sparkling with astonishment as she exclaimed:
“Banyoles is like a garden, so beautiful. There really is such a city, so unexpected! I thought all cities in the world were as chaotic and dirty as Fein City!”
Karno squinted his eyes and said, “I've heard that Banyoles refuses permanent residence to outsiders and also rejects the introduction of steam engines, which is why it has remained beautiful. However, by doing so, it might gradually fall behind the times.”
Finally, the Fischer family and their entourage arrived at the Romann family residence.
“Hmm, thank you for your efforts, members of the Fischer family.”
As they reached the front gate, they immediately encountered an exceedingly large welcoming party, nearly a hundred strong. Even Duke Black Iron himself had personally come to greet them.
Beyond that imposing and proud old man, the stunning “Stars Mortal” Ariel was also in the group.
Duke Black Iron!
The most legendary figure in all of Cyart!
His eyes were as deep as always, as if he could see into the deepest recesses of a person's heart. The old man's very existence was a testament to the rise and glory of the Cyart Kingdom!
Darren stepped forward with a smile and said,
“Good day, Lord Duke Black Iron, it is my honor to meet you.”
Everyone showed the utmost respect to Duke Black Iron, and Sunbelle was even trembling slightly, sensing the innate commanding presence of the old man, which elicited a deep-seated fear from within.
It was as if facing a “natural predator”!
“Darren Fischer, is it?”
Duke Black Iron gazed into Darren Fischer's eyes, and for a moment their eyes met.
The old man revealed an inscrutable smile, nodded slightly, and said calmly, “I have met your father, Byrne. You resemble him somewhat, but you're also different.”
Darren replied with a smile, “Well, that's how it is between father and son. Although there might be resemblances, at the end of the day, they are completely different individuals.”
Duke Black Iron nodded gently, turned, and headed back to the residence, saying very calmly,
“You have come from East Coast Province, a long way indeed; you must be tired. Come in and rest. Your presence at tonight's Romann family banquet will certainly make it more festive.”
“That's wonderful, Lord Duke, thank you for the invitation!”
Darren smiled, knowing that there would be a lot to discuss at Duke Black Iron's evening banquet, most importantly, the whereabouts of the “Dragon Taming Lord.”
Without a doubt, the life or death of that man was more crucial than the survival of the entire Fischer family!
