The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 82: Each with His Own Motives, the Golden Ark (asking for monthly tickets)
The lunch was just a simple lunch. There were many people drinking and chatting, and even those weird wizards didn't come out to disrupt the party.

Following Li Qing's instructions, Rick moved around the venue, chatting with nobles he was familiar with or had connections with, and gathering intelligence.

Li Qing took little Joel with him and hid in the dining area, tasting the delicacies of the Iris family while observing everyone present unnoticeably.

It can be seen that the influence of the Iris family in this sea area is still deeply rooted.

Although most of the nobles traveled with the wizard, they still followed the earl's lead. Rather than saying that they were using the wizard to gain respect, it was more like a last resort in the face of a changing situation.

Only four are different.

Viscount Frank - Morning Glory, because he had already reached a cooperation with the Dark Swamp, he seemed very relaxed. He clinked glasses with Donald from time to time, and then they went to chat up beautiful ladies.

Viscount Michel Violet and the fourth-level wizard "Wailing Dancer" clearly lack respect for the Earl, and are currently using the Iris Family's power to win over the lower-level nobles.

Viscount Roger Tulip and the fourth-level wizard "Raging Storm" criticized the earl in front of everyone for indulging the old witch, which led to a tiger raising a tiger to harm, and thus caused the tragedy of Golden Wheat Island.

Elena, Viscountess Lavender, tried many times to leave the banquet hall and enter other areas of the castle, but was stopped by the retainers of the Iris Family.

The level 4 expert who came here with a hidden identity was in the same group with her.

But overall, the atmosphere of the lunch was quite relaxed.

The lunch came to an end only when the food was gone and the cups and plates were in a mess, and some young men and women who had fallen in love with each other went hand in hand outside the castle to find a place to meet.

Li Qing was about to return to the manor to rest when a waiter suddenly came to inform him and Ryan to go to a conference room nearby to discuss matters.

Also invited, in addition to the forces of several level four masters, were the seven golden warriors and six level three wizards present today.

The venue looked like a church, with a pulpit in the front and rows of seats below.

Count Gavin Iris stood on the podium, next to him was a pure gold cabinet inlaid with various dazzling gems.

After everyone was seated, Gavin got straight to the point: "Now that the major wizarding nations have reopened, wizards have returned one after another, which has seriously impacted the order of the coastal nations, especially the agreements reached between the nations and the Wizarding Order."

"But the rune warriors' rule over the world is a foregone conclusion, and my Iris family will never give up control of the existing sea areas."

"Everyone present here, if you still recognize the rule of the Iris Family, you can put forward any conditions you want."

A newly-promoted golden warrior stepped forward first and said, "Dear Lord Earl, I want to break through the secret method of the earth warrior. Is that ok?"

Gavin said without blinking: "Your family is the inheritor of the Thunder Rune, right? I happen to have a secret method for breakthrough here, I can give it to you."

As he spoke, he opened the gold cabinet next to him, reached out, took out a parchment scroll, and looked at the golden warrior.

The warrior's face showed excitement. Without saying a word, he walked out of his seat and knelt on one knee on the spot: "My Lord Earl, the Clover Family will always be your loyal vassal."

The count drew out his decorative sword with a clang and placed it on his shoulder: "I accept your loyalty. This secret method is my reward for your loyalty!"

Li Qing and Ryan looked at each other: Are we performing a duet?

Then, another third-level wizard came and asked for a special magic potion in exchange for his promise not to stir up trouble behind the scenes.

Gavin agreed just as readily and took out the magic potion he wanted from the golden cabinet.

The wizard swore an oath on the spot and the deal was quickly reached.

So, one after another, people made requests, and the count readily agreed, as if they had been rehearsed.

Even if some people put forward very harsh conditions, the count was able to meet their demands in a targeted manner.

Viscount Violet and Viscount Tulip looked at the joke at first, but as time went on, their expressions became uglier and uglier.

And Ryan also found something wrong: "We can't just play along with him, right?"

Li Qing's face was solemn: "No! He must have known the bottom line of others for a long time!" He used his spiritual sense to observe and found that some nobles and wizards had emotions that were obviously "overjoyed" and even "terrifying when you think about it carefully".

In particular, there was a golden warrior who had been flirting with Viscount Violet. After the earl used a special potion to make him declare his loyalty, the entire venue fell into deathly silence.

"Hey, the Iris family is indeed very well-established, and their intelligence work is also very good."

Frank suddenly laughed out loud: "May I ask, Count, what does our family need?"

Gavin looked at him deeply and said, "I have the original Dark Meditation Method in my hand. I wonder if I can get your promise in return?"

Frank sneered and was about to refute.

Donald pulled him aside and said, "My Lord, I really need this meditation method. If you can give it to me, I am willing to represent the Dark Swamp and express neutrality."

In the end, Viscount Frank-Morning Glory, who thought he had gained strong support and was ready to show off, reluctantly declared his allegiance to the count.

As a result, pressure was put on four companies including Lettuce Island.

All the nobles who swore allegiance to the earl, as well as the wizards who were won over by him, looked over here with burning eyes.

An invisible pressure made the three viscounts and Ryan feel their shoulders sink and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"I wonder what your requests are?" A cold atmosphere lingered in the meeting room, oppressing everyone who had not yet compromised.

Elena was the first to lose the patience. She bit her lip and gave in. “The Lavender Family still recognizes the letter of allegiance that our ancestors signed with the Iris Family.”

She made no conditions, but she also did not take the oath again.

The faces of the two Viscounts, Violet and Tulip, became increasingly grim. They each turned back and looked at the two level 4 wizards they relied on.

However, "Wailing Dancer" and "Raging Storm" stared at the golden cabinet with incredible expressions on their faces.

"Is this, the Ark of the Covenant?" The Howling Dancer swallowed.

The violent aura around Fury Storm continued to surge, and the greed in his eyes almost turned into reality: "The Golden Ark! The treasure of the King of Light! It turns out that it is in the hands of your family!"

The count was unmoved and just smiled: "If you two have any requests, please feel free to ask!"

Li Qing looked at the golden cabinet and felt it was ordinary. He did not sense any fluctuations of extraordinary power.

He turned to look at Ryan, only to see that he also had a bewildered look on his face.

Donald, who came from the Dark Swamp and should have been the most knowledgeable, was also full of confusion, as if he had never heard of it before.

"The Violet Family has a close relationship with my teacher. I swore to my teacher that I would protect them for a hundred years."

"The Tulip Family provided crucial help when I advanced to the fourth-level wizard. I vowed to repay them well."

The two wizards suppressed the greed in their eyes and said it seriously.

The Earl smiled slightly: "So what do you two mean?"

After some bargaining, the two fourth-level wizards sold the two viscounts for a good price.

In the end, everyone present turned their attention to Li Qing and Ryan.

"Mr. Tree Shepherd, what do you think?" The Count held the golden cabinet with his hand, his eyes full of inquiry.
