Chapter 83: Only the name and the tool can not be borrowed by others (seeking full order)
"Mr. Tree Shepherd, what do you think?"

"Mr. Tree Shepherd, what do you think?"

"Mr. Tree Shepherd, what do you think?"

The earl's voice suddenly became ethereal, and the faces of everyone present became blurred.

Layer upon layer of echoes rang in Li Qing's mind, not only those of the Earl, but also those of other nobles and wizards, turning into continuous waves of sound, impacting his consciousness.

Li Qing smiled suddenly, and the visualization diagram of Taihao Palace in his mind's platform flickered slightly, emitting a cyan-gold light, and suddenly everything became clear.

He casually patted the sweaty Ryan, waking him up from some nightmare.

"What do you think?" Li Qing's voice gradually changed from calm to cold, "I don't think so!"

He stood up suddenly, his Taoist foundation vibrated softly, his true essence vibrated, and a powerful aura belonging to the first level of foundation building swept over.

The two Level 4 wizards leaned back slightly to avoid the sharp attack. The other Level 3 wizards and golden warriors bent over in dismay, and even collapsed on their seats.

And Count Iris, who was the first to bear the brunt, had to counter with the aura of the Earth Warrior to resolve the powerful pressure coming from Li Qing.

"In my hometown, there is an old saying: Only the name and the tool can not be faked by others!"

Li Qing said word by word: "I came here today with Baron Ryan Lettuce to sever the hundreds of years of affiliation between Lettuce Island and Iris Island."

"From now on, Lettuce Island will be an independent territory. We will not pay tribute, nor be a vassal. We will establish contact with the coastal countries in the name of free territory!"

As soon as this statement came out, it was shocking!

Even Viscount Violet and Viscount Tulip looked at him in shock.

After all, they had never thought of becoming independent from the Iris Islands, they just planned to challenge the earl's authority internally.

Ryan was also extremely surprised because Li Qing had not informed him of this matter in advance.

But he was very decisive. Having pledged his loyalty to Li Qing, he would never waver.

"What Lord Mushuren meant is the position of our Lettuce Island."

"The foundation of our Lettuce Island was created by our ancestors who braved the frost and dew and cut through the thorns. We pledged allegiance to the Iris Family only because of the general trend, and we did not receive any favor from them."

He withstood the pressure of the confrontation between Li Qing and the Earl, and said word by word: "From today on, Lettuce Island will be an independent free territory. We will not be subjects, pay tribute, or be a vassal."

"Boom--" Outside the castle, a bolt of thunder resounded through the sky.

"You dare!" Strange runes rose from the Earl of Iris's body. They were not of water, fire, wind, or thunder, but clusters of irises with green leaves and purple flowers.

The iris swayed gently, emitting a faint floral fragrance. It had a strange power that made Ryan's eyes freeze, and the others present were also affected.

Li Qing glanced at Ryan and smiled with satisfaction. The green wood essence flowed around his body, transforming into light and shadow that looked like an iris.

The pervasive fragrance of flowers, like a weary bird flying back into the forest, poured into his Qingmu Zhenyuan and was directly refined completely.

"Your Excellency the Earl is indeed very hospitable!" Li Qing laughed loudly, and Aoki Shingen suddenly turned around.

"Boom!" The true energy was commingled and turned into a thunderous sound, waking up the others.

Ryan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hid behind Li Qing with self-awareness.

Li Qing's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he pressed the earl directly: "This is the condition of our Lettuce Island. What do you think, earl?"

Count Iris looked at him deeply, and suddenly the runes around his body retracted, and the intimidating aura also disappeared.

"Since Mr. Tree Shepherd and Mr. Ryan have made up their minds, then my Iris Family will also help them." As he said this, he took out a parchment scroll from the golden cabinet and handed it to Ryan: "This is the document signed by your ancestor and my Iris Family. It will be invalidated from today."

Ryan signaled with his eyes, and only after getting Li Qing's consent did he reach out to take it.

But the document burst into flames as soon as it came into Ryan's hands, and instantly turned into a handful of black ash and scattered all over the ground.

Ryan felt his whole body lighten, as if some shackles had been broken.

But what followed was an invisible malice coming from the void, which made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end and gave him goose bumps.

"Sir!" He looked at Li Qing with some uneasiness.

Li Qing waved his hand, signaling him to stay calm, and then thanked the earl: "Your Excellency the Earl is so magnanimous!"

The count nodded indifferently and pointed to the door of the venue: "Next, our archipelago has important matters to discuss. Since Lettuce Island is independent, we will not stay any longer..."

Li Qing smiled slightly, said nothing more, and took Ryan out of the venue.

"Sir, what are you doing today?" Ryan rubbed the goose bumps on the back of his neck and smoothed them out. "Why did you suddenly confront the Earl?"

According to the initial discussion between the two, Lettuce Island only needed to maintain the state of "obeying orders but not announcements", and they had never thought of breaking off relations with the Iris Family.

Li Qing did not get on the carriage prepared by the castle, but walked to the manor with Ryan.

He looked up at the azure sky: "Do you remember what I said? Only the name and the tool can be fake!"

"Why would the Earl be willing to make so many concessions in order to keep the nobles loyal to him? What exactly is that golden ark?"

"The Golden Ark?" Ryan was a little confused. "Sir, what are you talking about?"

Li Qing suddenly stopped and asked: "What did you just say?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and repeated: "Sir, why did you suddenly confront the Earl?"

Li Qing was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the Iris Castle: "Those who cannot see are called Yi, and those who cannot hear are called Xi. I see."

He shook his head and did not mention the Ark of the Covenant again. He only said: "The loyalty required by the Earl is most likely a mysterious ritual."

"Since he paid such a high price, he must get it back tenfold or a hundredfold, to make this drama worthwhile."

Ryan suddenly understood and nodded slightly, but he was a little puzzled: "Then you suddenly turned against him at the meeting, aren't you afraid of a fight?"

"I heard from you that the Iris Family has four Level 4 experts. If a fight really breaks out, the ones who will suffer will be the ones who…"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Having more people doesn't necessarily mean having more power. We have to fight to know who is stronger and who is weaker."

"What's more, those three strong men, along with the rest of the Iris Family, have not shown up. They must have important matters to attend to and are too busy to fight. The Earl alone cannot fight."

The two of them walked and talked, and it took them a long time to return to the manor where they were staying.

Little Joel, who came back first, was standing in the yard heartlessly, using dogtail grass to tease a kitten in the tree.

The cat's entire body was as black as ink, except for its four white paws. Its eyes were a pair of gold and silver, and it looked inexplicably noble.

Li Qing paused and sent Little Joel to find the manor housekeeper to arrange dinner.

He walked under the tree and asked softly, "Mister Witch, what brings you to my yard?"
