Chapter 302 Working Hard

Christine's private estate.

In the study, Christine was sitting in a wheelchair. The desk in front of her was filled with various documents. The contents of those documents related to the happiness and stability of many people in the family.

She read each one carefully and responded to it. Sometimes she would find someone else to check for a long time because of problems in a document.

In this way, day turned to night, and night turned to day again. Christine was busy all the time.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Enter."

After Kristine finished speaking, she realized that it was Andre who had come in. She was stunned for a moment, and she even forgot when Andre went out just now.

"Weren't you always in the study?"

Andre was stunned for a moment and said:

"I just went out to get something, don't you remember? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Kristine was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "There is still a lot of work to do, and I can't stop yet. Maybe you can help me get some energy medicine later."

The psychoactive drugs invented by Byrne decades ago are widely used as food additives in many foods, and are now sold throughout Siyat.

Christine is usually used to dryly chewing the energizing drug instead of eating something containing it which is very ineffective.

"Miss Christine, the envelope in my hand contains the latest information about the family and the religious order. I need to report it to you."

"You tell me."

The long step to ascend to God that Andre took is the road of order, and now he has successfully stepped onto the second step.

"First of all, it's about the Dagger Brotherhood..."

Christine listened silently, and Andre calmly reported many situations during this period, and suddenly said:

"By the way, Mr. Darren feels that the 'Black Tide' he established has been unilaterally paying for the family. He hopes that the money he borrowed can be deferred for one year before repaying it."

Christine in the wheelchair had an indifferent face, shook her head without any hesitation, and said calmly:

"No, let that guy Darren pay me back the money on time. There must be no less. Since the Fisher family is getting bigger and bigger, the members of the family have to abide by the family's rules more and more." The rule is, if he really doesn’t have enough money, I’ll just deduct it from the family dividend.”

Andre nodded and continued to speak calmly and calmly:

"A grandson of Archibald impulsively killed innocent people in a tavern in Nasir City, and caused quite a lot of repercussions. He hopes to settle the matter with just a fine."

Uncle Archibald?

Kristine thought about it for a moment. The public killing of innocent citizens in Nasir City was a serious problem. If you were not careful, it would arouse public outrage.

So she shook her head very firmly and said:

"It cannot be allowed. This matter must be punished according to the rules. Let's arrest that person and put him on trial."

Andre looked at his princess and nodded again.

"I see."

Christine sighed.

Deep down she knew the consequences of her decision.

That Uncle Archibald, who was a bit ignorant, but had watched me grow up since childhood, and always regarded his father as a biological brother, would never have as good a relationship with me as before.

But Christine felt that she had to implement the rules that had just been set.

Otherwise, what's the point of its existence.

Andre was silent for a while before continuing to speak.

"One more thing. Your Excellency Darren's third child was born the day before yesterday. His name is Aqil, but he did not invite you to the banquet..."

Kristine was stunned, then nodded.

"Darren didn't invite me? It seems that he expected that I wouldn't let him default on the loan. That's good. I don't have time to do such troublesome things."

"Now, Uncle Byrne must master the sequence power of the fourth ladder as soon as possible. I will be responsible for the complicated and trivial matters of the Fisher family."

Byrne has recently handed over many affairs to Christine, almost completely freeing himself and focusing on the road of knowledge wholeheartedly.

That was something she asked for.

After Kristine finished speaking, she took a deep breath and took the next document to look at, but for some reason deep down, she still felt a little aggrieved.

Damn it, why are there such unnecessary emotions?

She shook her head and tried her best to get rid of distracting thoughts. Suddenly, her eyesight went dark, and then she fainted.

When Christine woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed, flanked by Andre with a gentle expression and Lillian with concerned eyes.

Lilian quickly frowned and said in a rather reproachful tone:

"You haven't eaten for many days, and you haven't slept either? A transcendent person of this level could actually faint due to physical weakness and emotional excitement. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen this in decades. "

Christine said with a wry smile:

"Sorry, I forgot. There are too many things to do during this period. I can't finish them. I can't finish them at all..."

"I didn't expect that as a transcendent, I would be so weak."

She vaguely discovered the fact that the cursed power on her legs seemed to affect her overall physical fitness.

Although he and the old butler Tio are both "palace attendants" on the third level, his physical fitness is much ahead of his own.

Lillian looked at the numerous documents on the desk and recalled what she had heard. In fact, after that family meeting, her father handed over most of the family's daily affairs to Christine.

And Christine was more serious about many things, and even brought up old accounts. Sometimes she almost increased her workload several times out of thin air.

Hard work is a good thing, but is it really good?

Lillian thought for a while and decided to tell some facts.

"Christine, there is something I have to tell you. In fact, there are more and more people in the family who hate you now. It's not just the problem of the team of "Purgers" you established, but also some of your personal behaviors that have caused everyone's disgust..."

"Recently, many people have said behind your back that you are cold-blooded and unkind."

Christine nodded and said, "Then they are quite right, and these are all things I have agreed with Uncle Byrne in advance."

Lillian was stunned. She didn't expect that her father had reached such an agreement with Christine.

Christine continued: "Those punishments and harsh decisions will slightly affect Uncle Byrne's image in the eyes of family members. He doesn't need to do it, I can do it."

"I think the family is a machine, a precision-operated machine..."

"The priests of the Recast Church said that a machine needs to consume lubricating oil to operate normally, and the family is a precision-operated machine. Sometimes I think it's better to let myself be the lubricant."

She paused and calmly told the reality.

"My talent is very insufficient, and I am afraid that I will never reach the fifth level in my lifetime, so my personal extraordinary power is completely insignificant to the whole."

"I sincerely feel that the most important thing is that I can keep the whole family running smoothly."

"Everyone has the most suitable position."

Lillian sighed and said with relief: "Christine, you have worked so hard."

"I won't continue to persuade you, after all, everyone has their own beliefs."

"If Kano can be a little bit like you and care more about the family..."

When mentioning the twin brother who she hadn't seen for several years, Christine's face was also a little nostalgic, shaking her head and said:

"He and I are completely different people. I understand this better than anyone else in the world. There is no concept of collectivism in that guy's heart. At the same time, unlike a realistic person like me, he does not agree with the various rules and constraints in the world."

"But I still don't hate Kano in my heart, not only because we are twins, but also because I know that Kano will eventually help the Fisher family."

--

The largest province of Syat, Greenbrook Province.

In recent months, the rainfall in Greenbrook Province has decreased significantly, resulting in a serious drought. A large amount of land has begun to crack, crops in the fields have withered, and livestock cannot get enough water and food.

People's lives have been seriously affected. Faced with a shortage of drinking water and food, many families have to rely on the daily limited reserve water to survive and start digging deep wells to try to find more underground water sources.

In an ordinary little village, the village chief gathered everyone to work together to figure out how to solve the problem of survival.

"If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid many of us will die this year."

"It's a pity that the old lord suddenly died of illness two years ago, and the new lord is a child. No one can take care of us."

"What should we do?"

While everyone was talking, suddenly a middle-aged man with a firm face raised his hand and said with deep eyes: "I think we should ask the church to find a solution for this matter."

He is Abner, the hunter in the village, and is considered by many to be the most mature and calm man in the village.

The beauty of the village, Alice, the daughter of the village chief, also nodded repeatedly and said in agreement:

"Supernatural people have the ability to create something out of nothing, and can directly make water appear out of thin air. I think as long as we ask the priest of the church for help, the situation in the village can be solved quickly!"

The village chief thought for a while, and finally said: "At this point, we can only do this. Although I don't think the church will necessarily send people to save us... but we have to try."

"So, who is willing to leave the village and seek help from the church?"

"I am willing."

The calm Abner nodded and raised his hand to show that he was willing. The villagers cheered, and then Alice also said that she wanted to go, but was immediately scolded and rejected by the village chief.

"Alice, what are you thinking? How can I let you leave the village?"

The hunter Abner also said frankly that it would be difficult for him to cross mountains and ridges with an ordinary girl. Alice could only leave helplessly after hearing this.

Recently, due to the drought, there are more and more bandits in Greenbrook Province. In addition, crossing mountains and rivers to go to places you have never been to is a very dangerous thing. The villagers are a little scared.

For a while, no one spoke.

The old village chief was a little disappointed.

At this time, a young man in his twenties slowly raised his hand.

"I will go too."

The old village chief looked at the handsome young man and fell into deep thought.

He came to this village a year ago, claiming to be a refugee from nearby. He used his last money to buy a piece of wasteland and began to cultivate it day by day.

But what the villagers were most curious about was that the man was accompanied by a woman at that time, and that woman was a beautiful woman who was out of tune with everyone and kept persuading the man to leave.

But after about half a year, the beautiful woman suddenly left the village and disappeared without a trace, leaving the man alone in the village.

The old village chief hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Okay, Kano, then you go too. It's time for you to make some contributions to the village."
