From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

"Fischer could save Cyart with its own strength."

Byrne stared calmly at the other party and continued,

"I have read in many books about the importance of land; Fischer cannot simply hand over the land of the Cyart people to Lorne. Aside from that, we are open to discuss all other conditions."

Viscount Johnville shook his head repeatedly and immediately said, "No, no, no, you might be mistaken, Your Excellency Byrne, there's some misunderstanding here. We don't want to take your Cyart land, just to lease it."

"After a number of years, that land will still be returned to you."

Basically, everyone knows that the mightiest Lorne citizens have immense interest in conquering the world.

If Cyart really were to lease a portion of their land to the Lorne people, without a doubt, those lands would become their bridgehead for the invasion of the Eastern Four Kingdoms.

Even if Heavenly Enlightenment powerful experts cannot enter the East, if Lorne were truly to mobilize hundreds of Monarch powerful experts, the entire country's power to invade the Eastern Four Kingdoms, without a doubt the Eastern Four Countries would not be able to resist.

Fortunately, for now, Lorne has far too many colonies, and countless opponents and enemies, so even with several hundred Monarch powerful experts, they would not be able to spare the effort.

Currently, they simply don't have the extra strength to invade the East of the Ouden Continent.

Byrne shook his head again, very firmly stating, "The Fischer family refuses this point, the bottom line is here, I just don't know if you're willing to continue talking."

Viscount Johnville's complexion turned ugly, he didn't speak immediately and instead paced back and forth for a while.

He suddenly said seriously, "Well, then I might as well go find the Romann family, or your rivals, the Adley family."

"The obvious thing is, hmph, what Lorne Empire needs isn't something only you can provide!"

He switched his tone from being amicable to being aggressively confrontational; he was clearly putting on a threatening demeanor.

Suddenly, Kano spoke up.

He interjected and said to his "friend",

"Johnville, listen to me for a second."

Viscount Johnville looked towards Kano, waiting for him to speak.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Kano said, "The Romann family will have common actions and principles with us, so I advise you to save the effort of finding them."

"As for the Adley family... let's not joke, the battle puppet that was recently damaged in the war might still not have been salvaged from the sea. You should know about that thing."

Viscount Johnville continued to look at him, asking in confusion,

"What battle puppet?"

Darren, who had been at the scene without a word, suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! No need to play dumb; as an Imperial Emissary of the Lorne Empire, no doubt you're also a spy. How could you not know such easily obtained intelligence?"

His hatred for Lorne people, just like his hatred for Rhea people, was clear, but he also knew that they can't fall out at any time.

"The Calamity class battle puppets of the Seven Stars appeared on the scene of the recent naval battle, and they belonged to the Adley Royal Family's side!"

Viscount Johnville looked at the man laughing heartily, sensing the clear hostility from him, and nodded.

"Indeed... All right, I admit that I am aware of it."

"The Adley Royal Family really became the Seven Suns Empire People's dog, which was their most ignorant and failed choice!"

Byrne didn't speak up, but he even doubted in his heart whether the Lorne people's first choice might not have been the Fischer family.

Initially, they might also have considered cooperating with the Adley Royal Family, but after finding out that the Adley Royal Family already had the help of the Carnian people, there wasn't much choice left.

The Carnian's backers were their mortal enemies, the Seven Stars Empire!

Obviously, the Fischer and Romann families became the only choices for the Lorne people; they had to help Fischer and Romann achieve victory.

Byrne had seen too many of the "Seven Stars Jokes" written by Lorne citizens and "Lorne Jokes" written by Seven Stars People in books to know very clearly about the hostility between these two countries.

The enemies of the people of the Seven Stars Empire are friends to the citizens of the Lorne Empire, two arch-enemy nations who have been combating each other through a policy of opposition for a hundred years.

During the original hundred-year war, the Seven Stars Empire lost a very formidable female Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert due to various reasons.

The powerful being known as the Holy Woman suddenly received Divine Power from several of the True Gods, becoming a Heavenly Enlightenment expert. Although she ultimately sacrificed herself in flames, she completely saved the Seven Stars Empire from destruction.

Following that, the citizens of the Lorne Empire became much more submissive.

They knew that no matter how much they struggled, the Gods could easily rewrite the outcome, so they were almost entirely obedient to the Church.

However, the times had changed now.

All Gods, except for the God of Reforging, no longer issued Divine Oracles.

Viscount Johnville nodded and said, "Alright, you've convinced me, His Excellency Byrne and Mr. Karno."

"Then, let's talk about other forms of aid, like some exchanges of resources."

----

The citizens of Lorne were very wealthy.

Everybody among the Cyart people knew this since the opposing nation was the most powerful empire in the world and was naturally very wealthy.

But exactly how wealthy the citizens of Lorne actually were was beyond the Cyart people's imagination, and now the Fischer family felt somewhat dizzy looking at the list of conditions laid out by the other party.

The next day during the negotiation in the conference hall, after rechecking the list, Christine, who was responsible for this aspect, widened her eyes and asked, "Are you sure there's been no mistake? It says here sixth level extraordinary materials, not Level Five?"

Viscount Johnville shook his head, saying, "There's no error... The Empire has more high-level extraordinary materials than you think. In many of our colonies that have relatively primitive ecosystems, the populations of magic beasts are quite exaggerated."

As part of the Cyart people, the Fischer family instinctively harbored some hostility towards the Lorne citizens, but after seeing that list of aid, many of their hostilities dissipated like smoke in the air.

The sugar coating was indeed delicious.

In a place like Cyart, many high-level extraordinary materials were unobtainable even with money, but in the Lorne Empire, almost any extraordinary material could be attained. As long as the Fischer family was willing to exchange resources, they could even obtain Level Seven extraordinary materials.

Christine looked at the list again, inquiring, "What is this 'Alchemical Fairy' thing?"

"The so-called 'Alchemical Fairy,' while the Seven Suns Empire's research focuses on large battle puppets, our research in Alchemy is directed towards these things."

"They are miniature battle puppets, which, although individually weak in combat, are difficult to destroy, and possess the ability to fly and extremely comprehensive support abilities."

Viscount Johnville snapped his fingers, and immediately a Magic Gold Sphere that could levitate and fly appeared by his side.

Christine was instantly captivated by its presence.

"How beautiful..."

It was like a dazzling miniature constellation, emitting a mysterious and enchanting glow, freely traversing through space, displaying immense Magic Power and life force.

The Magic Gold Sphere was moderately sized, fitting perfectly in the palm of a hand, yet contained astonishing energy.

Its surface was covered with a layer of flowing golden luster, as if countless tiny constellations were twinkling within, emitting a gentle yet dazzling light.

Not only was the light beautiful, but it also had a calming power that brought tranquility and peace to those who gazed upon it.

The construction of the Magic Gold Sphere was unique and exquisite, seemingly made from the purest of energy, lightweight yet resilient, easily withstanding various impacts without damage, and housing an invisible magic core that seemed to be constantly in operation, powering the sphere with unending energy.

When it began to fly, it made almost no sound, moving at high speed yet remaining impressively stable, maintaining a steady posture regardless of how it maneuvered through the air.

This Magic Gold Sphere, named "Alchemical Fairy," was not only capable of flight but also contained various mysterious Magic Powers.

It could sense minor changes in the surrounding environment and release different magical effects as needed. Sometimes it would emit a soft light, bringing brightness to those in darkness; sometimes it would unleash powerful energy, destroying barriers in its path; other times, it would cast healing spells, bringing hope to injured lives.

Moreover, it could automatically seek out enemies and track them, with its compound abilities being very unique.

Christine, mesmerized by what she saw, took a deep breath, feeling the enormous disparity in civilization between Cyart and Lorne even more keenly.

No wonder the people of Lorne saw the Cyart people as a bunch of inexplicable barbarians.

"We truly need something like this, very much so!"
