Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Yez Family, Gagnon Family

Whoosh!

After Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear entered the city, the ’ice coffin’ that followed them like a shadow quickly attracted the attention of many passers-by.

The ice coffin was really too conspicuous.

Even so, there were few who gave the ’ice coffin’ more than a glance, for in this world where the powerful are respected, caution is paramount in everything one does.

A single misstep could mean irreversible doom!

Soon after, Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear entered a restaurant and chose a spot by the window to sit down.

Boom!

Under Wyatt’s control, the ’ice coffin’ landed steadily on the neighboring dining table.

Instantly, all the eyes of the patrons in the restaurant were cast in their direction.

"What a beautiful woman!"

Some sharp-eyed individuals quickly made out the red-dressed woman lying within the ice coffin; even through the ice, her extraordinary beauty could not be hidden.

"She seems full of life, so why is she lying in an ice coffin?"

Many were puzzled by this.

"Perhaps she has contracted some mysterious and complex illness,"

someone speculated.

No matter what, the appearance of the ’ice coffin’ unsurprisingly became a spectacle in the restaurant, drawing all patrons’ eyes.

Such a sight was not often seen.

However, bringing the ’ice coffin’ and occupying an extra table was undeniably a ’domineering’ behavior on Wyatt’s part.

"Guest, about this..."

Very soon, the restaurant manager sent a waiter over to Wyatt, and began to speak slowly.

"When I settle the bill, I will pay for two tables’ worth of food,"

Wyatt interrupted the waiter before he could finish, naturally guessing that the waiter was about to comment on him taking up another table, affecting their business.

Suddenly, neither the waiter nor the manager had anything further to say.

After ordering some dishes and drinks and sending the waiter off to prepare them, Wyatt leaned against the window, squinting at the passing crowd outside the restaurant, his face the picture of tranquility.

Only at this moment did his heart begin to settle down a bit.

When traveling outside, he would often encounter rampant bandits, which made it difficult for him to let his guard down.

Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, what are our next steps?"

Fill Bear looked at Wyatt, curious to ask.

He was unaware of Wyatt’s plan.

"When the waiter comes with the food, ask him which power is the strongest in ’Northumberland’... Once confirmed, we will pay that power a visit!"

Wyatt instructed.

As he spoke, his gaze again fell on the ice coffin on the table next to him, or to be more precise, on the red-dressed woman within the ice coffin.

The extraordinary beauty of the woman in red completely captured his gaze, making it difficult for him to look away even slightly.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with tender affection, seemingly able to melt all hardships.

"Winnie, I will certainly awaken you as soon as possible... wait for me,"

Wyatt silently said in his heart.

"Yes,"

Fill Bear replied. Although he did not know what their Young Master intended to do by visiting the most powerful force in ’Northumberland,’ he did not question further, trusting that Wyatt had a plan.

All he had to do was follow the Young Master and take care of various matters for him.

The dishes and drinks were swiftly served.

"Waiter, I’d like to inquire... which power is the strongest in ’Northumberland’?"

Following Wyatt’s instruction, Fill Bear asked the waiter.

"Is this the guest’s first time in our ’Northumberland’?"

The waiter asked with a gleam in his eyes.

"Indeed,"

Fill Bear nodded.

"Guest, in Northumberland, the most powerful forces are two major families... The first is the ’Yez Family’; the second is the ’Gagnon Family’,"

The waiter answered with a smile, addressing Fill Bear’s query.

"Two major families? Yez Family? Gagnon Family?"

Before Fill Bear could fully process the information, a startled Wyatt who was sitting beside him suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought, "Could it be such a coincidence?"

Wyatt remembered that when he left the Great Mini Dynasty with Winnie Romero and Taoi Romero, heading for the ’ancient city in the desert,’ the brother and sister Taoi saved seemed to be from the ’Northumberland Gagnon Family.’

Was the ’Northumberland Gagnon Family’ one of the strongest two forces in Northumberland?

"Merely two families can be the strongest forces in Northumberland... truly surprising,"

Wyatt’s eyes flashed, showing his astonishment.

Of course, he understood that if mere families were the most powerful forces in Northumberland, they must have considerable abilities.

"Families?"

Upon hearing the waiter’s words, even Fill Bear was taken aback.

One must know that a family, compared to a sect, is hardly just a little inferior.

A family, no matter what, revolves around the "direct descendants" and is passed down by bloodline.

No matter how outstanding the collateral relatives and members with different surnames are, it’s difficult for them to rise to prominence. At most, they might end up as elders or sacrificial officers.

The position of "Clan Chief" is fundamentally out of reach for collateral relatives and members with different surnames.

Therefore, for a family to truly become powerful is very difficult.

However, a sect is not limited to bloodline inheritance. If you are capable, you can rise through the ranks and even become the "leader of a sect".

As a result, the enthusiasm of sect disciples is greatly increased.

Especially in the "outside territory" where strong forces abound, the gap between families and sects is undeniably more pronounced.

Yet, in the land of the Northern Desert, two great families are held in the highest regard?

Inconceivable!

Both Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear found this surprising.

"Our two guests, hearing that the two most powerful forces in ’Northumberland’ are families, do you find it strange?"

The waiter, seeing the expressions of surprise on Wyatt Barnes’s and Fill Bear’s faces, seemed to have guessed their thoughts and couldn’t help but ask.

Neither Wyatt nor Fill Bear denied it and nodded in unison.

"Our two guests may not be aware... The ’Yez Family’ and the ’Gagnon Family’ in Northumberland are unlike ordinary families. It is said that these two families have traditions that span over ten thousand years!"

As the waiter spoke, his face took on a serious expression.

Ten thousand years!

It has to be said, the waiter’s words shocked both Wyatt and Fill Bear.

A family with a tradition spanning ten thousand years?

How profound must their foundations be?

They found it hard to imagine.

"Those two families, being able to carry on for ten thousand years... there must be reasons for that, right?"

Wyatt Barnes asked the waiter, looking at him.

He always felt that both the Yez Family and the Gagnon Family of Northumberland must be extraordinary.

"The guest is insightful."

The waiter smiled and said, "The reason these two families could carry on for ten thousand years is indeed because... each of them is either an ’Artifact Refiner family’ or an ’alchemist family’!"

Artifact Refiner family?

Alchemist family?

The waiter’s words brought even more confusion to Wyatt, "What does that mean?"

"It means... within those families, over fifty percent of the members in one of them are ’Artifact Refiners’; and over fifty percent in the other family are ’alchemists’."

The waiter continued to clear up Wyatt’s doubts.

"Over fifty percent of one family’s members are ’Artifact Refiners’?"

"And over fifty percent of the other family’s members are ’alchemists’?"

No sooner had the waiter finished than both Wyatt and Fill Bear were thunderstruck, stiff as posts.

On the Cloud Skies Continent, who doesn’t know that to become an ’Artifact Refiner’ or an ’alchemist’, one needs extremely high talent in artifact refining and medicine concocting?

If their talents aren’t sufficient, it’s even impossible to become a ’Grade Nine Artifact Refiner’ or ’Grade Nine alchemist’.

And now, someone was telling them.

There was a family where over fifty percent of the people were ’Artifact Refiners’.

And another family where over fifty percent of the people were ’alchemists’.

"Yes."

The waiter nodded, unsurprised by Wyatt’s and Fill Bear’s astonishment.

He had seen too many people show similar expressions.

Those people, without exception, were either first-comers to ’Northumberland’ or first-timers learning of Northumberland’s most potent two powers.

"It is said that ten thousand years ago, the Yez Family and the Gagnon Family almost established their footings in ’Northumberland’ during the same era... The Elder Ancestor of the Yez family was a ’Grade One Artifact Refiner’. The Elder Ancestor of the Gagnon family was a ’Grade One alchemist’."

"Ever since the establishment of both the ’Yez Family’ and the ’Gagnon Family’, they have specialized in their respective arts of artifact refining and medicine concocting... Throughout the generations until today, both families have become the well-known ’Artifact Refiner family’ and ’alchemist family’ of Northumberland."

The waiter continued.

Grade One Artifact Refiner!

Grade One alchemist!

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be stunned.

He never expected, outside the central area of the outside territory, there would be ’Grade One Artifact Refiners’ and ’Grade One alchemists’, and that such families would carry on their legacy.

"In the long history of the two major families, there have also been more than a dozen ’Grade One Artifact Refiners’ and ’Grade One alchemists’... All of these Grade One Artifact Refiners and alchemists have been to the inland areas across the Weak Water River."

"They have all become Sacrificial Officers and Honorary Ministers for ’first-rate powers’, refining spirit weapons and Pill Medicines... It is precisely because of this that they have formed many good connections. This is also the main reason why both the Yez and Gagnon families have been able to stay grounded for ten thousand years."

"These ’first-rate powers’, while accepting Grade One Artifact Refiners and Grade One alchemists from the Yez and Gagnon families as Sacrificial Officers and Honorary Ministers, would also make open promises to them: as long as their power exists for a day, they will not allow the Yez or Gagnon families to face annihilation!"

"Therefore, over the ten thousand years, although numerous powers have had designs on the Yez and Gagnon families, they dare not truly exterminate them, allowing both families to grow to this day and become the behemoths of ’Northumberland’!"

The waiter patiently explained the history of the Yez and Gagnon families to Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, as well as their reasons for standing unyielding for ten thousand years.

"Even now... the ’first-rate powers’ of the inland might be able to destroy the Yez and Gagnon families, but they dare not do so! Because if they dare, they would face joint attacks from no fewer than three ’first-rate powers’ and could even be annihilated."

"The network of connections of the Yez and Gagnon families is terrifying... it’s the wealth left by their forebears."

By the end of his explanation, the waiter was filled with reverent admiration.
