When a group of paladins saw that it was Ryan, they quickly put away their swords, and the paladin in the front saluted Ryan.

"Please follow me, sir."

Ryan followed the Paladin to a large tent in the center of the camp.

The Paladin came to the door of the tent and spoke to a Paladin and a priest who were guarding the door.

"Lord Ryan is here, looking for Lady Saint."

The paladin and priest guarding the door were not blind, so they naturally saw Ryan behind him.

Everyone saluted Ryan quickly, and after the ceremony, the priest opened the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Soon, Joan of Arc came out with the priest.

After meeting Ryan, Joan of Arc first performed the magician's etiquette to Ryan.

"Long time no see, Master Ryan."

"Thanks to you this time, we were able to escape from Sacred Heart City."

Several paladins and priests standing by also bowed their heads to Ryan to show their highest respect.

Ryan waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect to run into you in Sacred Heart City."

"I have already left the Sacred Heart Nation's sphere of influence. What are your plans for the future?"

Joan of Arc welcomed Ryan into the tent, made tea for him herself, and spoke as she did so.

"I've actually thought about it a lot this week, and I realized it's not realistic for us to start from scratch."

"Because the light magic of my Church of Light has a restraining effect on fog creatures, it is difficult for this not to spread."

"Once it spreads, there will inevitably be a second Sacred Heart Nation, and then a third Sacred Heart Nation."

Joan of Arc made the tea and came to Ryan with the teapot and cups.

After pouring Ryan a cup of tea, he continued.

"Now that you have reached the seventh level of strength, Ryan, you are more than capable of protecting yourself in this foggy land. Therefore, I would like to bring the people of the Church of Light to join you."

"This will not only increase the strength of your territory, but you can also protect us."

Ryan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at it strangely.

Jeanne saw what was happening to Ryan and asked him about it.

"What's wrong? This tea doesn't suit your taste?"

Ryan smiled and said, "I'm just wondering if the more attractive the person, the better the tea they make."

Joan of Arc blushed, and when she thought of the reward that Ryan had asked for a while ago, her face became even redder.

"Master Ryan is still as good at making girls happy as ever." Joan of Arc said helplessly.

Ryan put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Peace is beneficial to both sides. Since Your Highness has this idea, then Ryan naturally agrees."

Originally, Ryan came here to persuade Joan of Arc to merge the people of the Church of Light into his Blue Bird Territory, but he didn't expect that Joan of Arc also had such an idea.

Ryan naturally took advantage of the situation and made the final decision.

Ryan said again: "In that case, Your Highness may need to stay in my secret realm for a while."

"This time I'm going to the northern part of the Misty Land and I won't be returning to the territory immediately."

Jeanne nodded. "Of course I'll follow your instructions, Master Ryan. This forest is wonderful. Compared to the harsh environment of the Misty Land, it's like a paradise."

They were chatting happily, but soon Ryan's stomach started to growl at an inopportune moment.

Ryan stood up and invited him: "Your Highness, please come to my castle. I have arranged lunch and I look forward to having lunch with Your Highness."

At the same time, he whispered, "And your Highness's reward, it's time to give it to me."

Joan of Arc smiled helplessly, knowing that she couldn't escape, but looking at Ryan's handsome face, she didn't feel any resistance in her heart.

Joan of Arc took Ryan's hand and smiled.

"Well, it's an honor for Jeanne to have lunch with Master Ryan."
