From the Esoteric Cult Family to the Kingdom of God

Vanessa walked on the road with short green hair and a white hunting suit. The townspeople around her respected her very much.

On the one hand, because she was a spellcaster, people naturally feared the extraordinary, and on the other hand, because Vanessa was a confidant of the Fisher family.

She was accompanied by a female servant who was responsible for helping to carry things.

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

After years of training by Irene, Vanessa could handle all kinds of things in an orderly manner, very educated, elegant and decent.

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

People still had a good impression and respect for this young lady who always smiled gently and behaved elegantly.

After arriving at the church, Vanessa found the old priest to explain the situation of the owner's arrival at the second level.

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

The old priest who was praying had a drastic change of expression, and he stood up quickly from the statue.

Vanessa put her hands behind her back, nodded and smiled:

"This is what happened. The master of the family hopes that you can write a letter to the bishop, hoping that the church can send someone to review the extraordinary power."

"Yes, for sure, don't worry about this."

The old priest nodded, thought for a moment and said:

"I will go with you to the Fisher family and congratulate Lord Baron Byrne in person, oh, Mr. Byrne."

Vanessa smiled calmly and continued: "There is no need to rush about this. After a while, when the master of the family becomes the lord, he will hold a banquet and will definitely invite you to attend."

The old priest shook his head and waved his hands, revealing a smile.

"It's different. I will go there at that time, but I have to go today to communicate privately."

Vanessa was slightly stunned, and then understood the old priest's idea.

Attending a banquet is a formal act, and private congratulations at 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 there. The reception room was almost full of people.

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

Then it was John, the sea merchant, followed by Vaner of the Vaner family, Moore, the leader of the East City Short Knife Brotherhood, and the sheriff of Nasir Town.

Everyone basically rushed to the Fisher family as soon as they got the news.

In the reception room, except for Byrne, the person with the highest status was the old priest, so although he was a latecomer, he sat in the position closest to Byrne.

Byrne had guessed the current situation long ago, and smiled and waited for the dinner with everyone.

This dinner was not a formal banquet to celebrate "arriving in metamorphosis" and "becoming a baron", but a private gathering of their circle, which was of a different nature.

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

"I am very pleased that old friends are gathered together. It has been a long time since such a moment."

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

"It is easier to do things when everyone is around the Fisher family. There will be many such moments in the future, Lord Byrne."

He usually calls Mr. Byrne, but now he is directly called Lord. Even though Byrne has not yet become a formal baron, everyone looks at him differently.

Nowadays, Byrne's status is no longer comparable to the past. Everyone pays attention to the tiny details and is full of respect for him in every gesture.

Merchant John is not the only one who prepared a gift, but he brought a second-level extraordinary material.

Others were surprised. The prices of mysterious objects and extraordinary materials have skyrocketed in the past few years, and John actually took out a second-level extraordinary material.

Could he take out a more expensive gift at the formal banquet?

Suddenly, several people were not very happy because they felt that their gifts were compared and they did not pay enough attention to the face of the Fisher family.

You are just an ordinary person, what is your status, how dare you take a gift more valuable than ours?

Silver Elder Allen looked calm, straightforward and respectful:

"Nasir is already the Fisher family's thing, plus Mr. Byrne has reached the second level, the four towns on the east coast, all the major families and extraordinary people will remember Fisher's name thoroughly."

Because Allen is a straightforward person, even his flattery seems a lot more sincere, but Byrne just smiled and didn't answer.

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

"After becoming a true noble, the social circle you come into contact with will be completely different. Perhaps you can try to get to know the bishop's assistant priest better."

"He didn't care about the small knight family before, 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 entertain the assistant priest well when he came to Nasir.

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

So they had the lowest status and basically didn't say a few words on their own initiative. They could only listen to the party.

After everyone else left, merchant John stayed alone.

"John, what else do you want to do?"

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

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

Even if the Fisher family wanted to take on the investment of two factories, it would be very difficult. Inviting other people to join in was something he and Irene had thought about.

Merchant John hesitated for a long time, and still said:

"Hey, actually I have another thing to ask you, have you heard of the existence of the spirit world."

Spirit world!

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

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

Maritime merchant John chuckled and said:

"It's right that you don't know. Haha, the spirit world is a place where mysteries gather. It is the most secretive and strange place in the world."

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

Maritime merchant John showed a mysterious look and said in a low voice:

"I know that some people on the East Coast have actually arrived in the spirit world, and they can go there frequently!"

"Really?"

Byrne pretended to be shocked and said in disbelief:

"I heard that only occasionally someone will mistakenly enter the spirit world from a dream. Is there really anyone who can enter there stably? Impossible!"

He also felt a little interesting in his heart. If it weren't for the existence of the Lord of the Lost, it would be very difficult for the Fisher family to enter the spirit world.

All kinds of mysterious knowledge and information about the spirit world are extremely precious and rare in the extraordinary noble circle. In the black market or the Alchemy Council, selling them can make quite good profits.

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

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

John, the sea merchant, sighed, narrowed his eyes and said his inner thoughts:

"I plan to go all out and buy a method to stably enter the spirit world!"

"I heard that there are all miracles and all wonders in the spirit world, even mortals can become extraordinary there!"

It's a bit too risky to do this.

Byrne looked very calm, but he felt that John's approach was a dead end.

Indeed, the spirit world has all miracles and wonders, and there are infinite possibilities there.

Even including the opportunity for mortals to leap to extraordinary people!

However, the number of strange and mysterious beings in the spirit world is dozens of times that of the real world, which is very dangerous even for extraordinary people.

He is just a mortal, and after entering, he is like a fat lamb entering a group of tigers.

Merchant John gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I want to go to the spirit world. I want to explore the way to leap from a mortal to a supernatural person!"

"I am over sixty years old, and I have lived as an ordinary businessman all my life. I am unwilling to do so. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will take a gamble!"

"Well, God will protect you, John."

Byrne nodded, but deep in his heart he recalled Irene's temptation of John two years ago.

At that time, Irene tested John's attitude towards God. It was unknown whether it was a disguise or a simple vigilance. John immediately pretended to be a devout believer of the storm.

Therefore, when the three people voted at the family meeting, Byrne voted against it on the scale of faith.

He refused to let merchant John become a blood recipient like he did when he tried to win over Grandma Nada.

Irene voted in favor on the scale of faith.

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

Moreover, he had a very good relationship with the Fisher family for more than ten years. At the same time, he was shrewd and would not act impulsively after receiving blood.

Perhaps a family meeting could be held again, Byrne thought silently after John left.

He just took out the most expensive gift and overwhelmed the others present. He must have known that some people would be dissatisfied.

But John also gave it his all 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 person who knows the rules. If he can have a closer relationship with the family, it will definitely be beneficial."

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