Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 88 Private Party (Third update, available at noon!)

Vanessa has short green hair and is walking on the road in a white hunting suit. The townspeople around her respect her very much.

On the one hand, because she is a spell caster, people naturally fear extraordinary beings, and on the other hand, because Vanessa is a confidant of the Fisher family.

There is also a female servant accompanying her to help carry things.

In fact, Vanessa's status in the Fisher family is similar to that of a housekeeper, a little higher than Archibald and Eric.

After years of training by Erin, Vanessa can handle all kinds of things in an orderly, well-educated, elegant and decent manner.

Even though she was obviously lame in one leg, Vanessa never felt depressed or ashamed about her disability. Everyone could see the calmness and confidence in her eyes.

People are still full of goodwill and respect for this young lady who always smiles gently and behaves elegantly.

After arriving at the church, Vanessa found the old priest and explained the situation of the family head's arrival at the second level.

"Are you serious? He has actually reached the second level!"

The expression of the old priest who was praying changed drastically, and he quickly stood up from the statue with difficulty.

Vanessa put her hands behind her back, nodded slightly and smiled:
  "That's what happened. The head of the family hopes that you can write a letter to the bishop, hoping that the church can send someone to conduct an extraordinary review."

"Well, sure, don't worry about that."

The old priest nodded, thought for a moment and said:
  "I'll go with you to Fisher's house to congratulate Lord Baron Byrne in person, oh, Mr. Byrne."

Vanessa smiled calmly and continued: "Don't worry about this. After a while, when the head of the family becomes the lord, he will hold a banquet, and you will definitely be invited to attend."

The old priest shook his head and waved his hands, smiling.

"It's different. I will also go then, but I will also go today to communicate in private."

Vanessa was stunned for a moment, and then understood the old priest's thoughts.

Attending a banquet is a formal occasion, and congratulations in private for the first time can enhance the relationship.

When the old priest and Vanessa arrived at the Fisher family, they found that they were not the only ones here. The living room was literally full of people.

Elder Allen of the Silver Clan was the first to arrive.

Then came Sea Trader John, followed by Ver of the Ver family, Moore, the leader of the East City Short Knife Brotherhood, and the Sheriff of Nasir Town.

After everyone got the news, they basically rushed to the Fisher family as soon as possible.

Apart from Byrne, the highest-ranking person in the drawing room was the old priest, so although he was a latecomer, he sat closest to Byrne.

Byrne had already guessed the current situation, smiling and waiting for the dinner with everyone.

This dinner was not a formal banquet to celebrate "arrival to transubstantiation" and "becoming a baron", but a private gathering of their circle, of a different nature.

At the dinner, Byrne looked at everyone with a smile and found that some people were excited and some were embarrassed. Everyone realized that the Fisher family was different from now on.

"I'm very happy to have old friends gather together. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of moment."

The white-haired merchant John smiled, exhaled, opened his hands and said:

"It's easy to do things when everyone is around the Fisher family. There will be many more times like this in the future, Lord Byrne."

He usually calls Mr. Byrne, but now he calls him "Sir" directly. Even though Byrne has not yet become an official baron at this time, everyone looks at him differently.

Nowadays, Byrne's status cannot be compared with before. Everyone pays attention to the tiny details and respects him in every gesture.

Sea Trader John was not the only one who had prepared a gift, however he brought with him a second level of supernatural material.

Everyone else was surprised. In the past few years, the prices of mysterious objects and extraordinary materials had skyrocketed, and John actually took out a second-level extraordinary material.

Could he have given out a more expensive gift at the formal banquet?
  Immediately, several people felt unhappy because they felt that their gifts were compared with others, which showed that they did not pay enough attention to the Fisher family's face.

You are just an ordinary person. What kind of status do you have that dares to give you a gift that is more valuable than ours?

Alan, the silver-born elder, looked calm and said in a straightforward and respectful tone:

"Nasir is already a member of the Fisher family, and with Mr. Byrne arriving at the second level, the four towns on the east coast, all the major families and extraordinary beings will thoroughly remember Fisher's name."

Because Allen has a straightforward personality, even his compliments seemed a lot more sincere, but Byrne just smiled and didn't answer.

The old priest smiled, looked at Byrne sitting aside and said, "Mr. Byrne, I didn't tell you before, but now it's time to tell you something."

"After you become a true noble, the social circles you come into contact with will be completely different. Maybe you can try to get more familiar with the bishop's assistant priest."

"He used to not pay attention to the small knight family at all, but now it's completely different."

The old priest paused and hinted: "It will definitely be good for the future of the Fisher family."

Byrne nodded repeatedly, promising that he would remember the old priest's words and treat Nasir well when the assistant priest came.

The private party lasted until late at night, and everyone talked about many things. The merchant John and the brotherhood leader Moore were ordinary people, not extraordinary people.

Therefore, they had the lowest status and basically did not take the initiative to say a few words. They could only listen in at the gathering.

After everyone else left, Merchant John was left alone. "John, do you have anything else to do if you stay?"

John nodded and said immediately: "It's about the Fisher family's upcoming factory. I also want to invest some money in it, Mr. Byrne."

"Well, it's not impossible." Byrne nodded.

Even if the Fisher family wanted to bear the investment in two factories, it would be very difficult. Inviting others to join was something he and Eileen had thought about.

Maritime merchant John hesitated for a long time, and then said:
  "Hey, actually I still have something to ask you. Have you ever heard of the existence of the spirit world?"

Spirit world!

The key words made Byrne wary, and then he nodded and said cautiously:

"I did hear about it in Fein City, but I don't know much about the spirit world."

Maritime merchant John chuckled and said:

"It's okay if you don't understand. Haha, the spiritual world is a mysterious gathering place. It is the most secret and strange place in the world."

"It is said that some people in the world have obtained unprecedented knowledge and power from the spiritual world, and the entire world will change dramatically because of this!"

Maritime merchant John showed a mysterious look and lowered his voice and said:

"I know some people on the East Coast who have actually been to the spirit world, and still go there regularly!"

"Really?"

Byrne pretended to be shocked and said as if in disbelief:
  "I heard that only occasionally people accidentally enter the spirit world from dreams. Is it true that there are still people who can enter there stably? Impossible!"

Deep down, he also felt that it was interesting. If it weren't for the existence of the Lost Lord, it would be very difficult for the Fisher family to enter the spiritual world.

All kinds of mysterious knowledge and information about the spiritual world are extremely precious and rare in the circle of extraordinary nobles. Selling them in places like the black market or the Alchemy Council can yield quite good profits.

Due to the principles of caution and confidentiality, the Fisher family has never sold the information they already know, for fear of attracting some powerful people to question how they knew it.

Although both the black market and the Alchemy Council claimed to keep the identity of the seller confidential, the Fisher family did not trust them very much.

Sea Merchant John sighed, narrowed his eyes and expressed his deepest thoughts:
  "I plan to make a desperate move and buy a method that can stably enter the spirit world!"

"I heard that there are all the miracles and all the inconceivables in the spiritual world. Even a mortal can become extraordinary there!"

It would be too risky to do so.

Byrne looked extremely calm, but in his heart he felt that what John was doing was seeking death.

Indeed, the spirit world has all its wonders and wonders, and there are endless possibilities there.

It even includes the opportunity for mortals to become extraordinary!

However, the number of weird and mysterious existences in the spiritual world is dozens of times that in the real world, making them dangerous even for extraordinary people.

He is just a mortal, and after entering, he is like a fat lamb entering the tiger community.

Sea Merchant John gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I'm going to the spiritual world. I want to explore the method of leaping from a mortal to a transcendent!"

"I am over 60 years old, and I have lived as an ordinary businessman all my life. I am not willing to accept it. Even if there is only a slim chance, I will still gamble!"

"Well, God will protect you, John."

Byrne nodded, but deep down he recalled Erin's temptation to John two years ago.

At that time, Irene was testing John's attitude towards God. She didn't know whether it was a disguise or a simple vigilance. John immediately pretended to be a devout Storm believer.

Therefore, when the three members of the family meeting voted, Byrne voted against the decision on the scale of belief.

He refused to let Sea Trader John become a blood recipient just like he had done with Granny Nada.

Eileen voted yes on the scale of faith.

She said that she could feel that deep in John's heart, there was no belief in the righteous gods.

Moreover, he has had a very good relationship with the Fisher family since more than ten years ago. At the same time, he is shrewd and will not act impulsively after receiving blood.

Perhaps a family meeting could be reconvened, Byrne thought silently until John left.

He had just brought out the most expensive gift, overwhelming everyone else present, and he must have known that some people would be dissatisfied.

But John also went to great lengths to please the Fisher family.

It can be seen that in John's heart he is deeply bound to the Fisher family.

"John is full of desire for extraordinary power, and at the same time he is a shrewd man who knows the rules. It will definitely be beneficial to have a closer relationship between him and the family."

"And doing business, after all, consumes too much of my energy..."
