Throne of the North

Earldom of Winter.

This is a territory located between two V-shaped mountains. Due to Earl Winter's contribution more than 30 years ago, he occupies the most complete land in all aspects of the North Wind Province, and the Earl's family has risen as a result.

The Earl and Countess of Winter warmly received Baron Lane from the other side of the province.

"Ryan, you are now a famous figure in the empire. Countless nobles are discussing the glory you gained in the kingdom's wars."

"In the Clayton family's bloodline, you are the most prestigious noble after your father."

"Obviously, the emperor's order three years ago was worthwhile. He gave the Clayton family a new dazzling star."

Earl Winter said this, and the nobles always complimented each other like this. It was not until more than an hour later that Ryan got rid of Earl Winter's temptation to Lingdu City from time to time.

"Lord Earl, of course Lingdu City welcomes the will of every noble to arrive, but that city currently has no more land to sell to you."

"But I think Viscount Miles will be happy to rent his house to you."

After Ryan finished speaking, and after reaching a certain level of consensus with the Earl, he also revealed his purpose.

"That guy Areris?"

Earl Winter frowned, and then looked at his wife.

"I am not familiar with the frost dragon. It was invited by the madam. Five years ago, when the madam entered the North to search for magic materials, she encountered the awakening of the frost dragon. After a transaction, she discovered this giant. The dragon seems different from other dragons."

Earl Winter said with some pain that in that transaction, he spent millions of gold coins in exchange for a space-related material from the frost dragon's private collection.

"The frost dragon is not easy to get along with. Rather than trading, the dragon is actually better at using its powerful power to grab what it wants."

The countess described it like this, and then told Ryan the origin of the frost dragon Areris.

"It comes from the depths of the north. It seems to have been injured. Perhaps it was driven south during the dragon war."

"And there is a possibility that it may not be a dragon native to the Norris continent. There has been no dragon growing up in our world for a long time."

Ryan understands this. When he was still in the Imperial City, he heard many legends about warriors and dragons.

Even if one percent of it is true, a huge number of dragon cubs or young dragons were killed.

"It came here, and then it failed to fight the owner of a certain piece of land in the North, and finally had to live on the edge of the North?"

Ryan was sorting through the information and was a little speechless. Did the giant dragon actually have wanderers?

In the end, Ryan got a token, which was actually the symbol of the Winter family, which could prevent the frost dragon from attacking directly.

Ryan did not leave immediately. He came here to cooperate strategically with Earl Winter.

"In the next few months, I will establish a Northern Chamber of Commerce, and the participating nobles will own shares in it. As for how much, it depends on how much effort you are willing to contribute, Lord Earl."

"The wealth of Northwind Province, or the land near the north, has never been just the mines at our feet. We can dig out even greater wealth here."

Ryan said this. Earl Winter was a little moved. After all, Beifeng City is no longer under his jurisdiction. He loses tens of thousands of gold coins every year and needs to make up for it from other places.

"There won't be too many noble members of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce..."

Ryan's words made Earl Winter make the decision. A chamber of commerce is the money bag of the nobles. You will know it after seeing the countless supplies that come and go from the chambers of commerce of the great nobles in the south every year.

After staying in the earldom for two days, Ryan got the value that Earl Winter intended to pay.

"When the Chamber of Commerce is established, the Earl will get the benefits of the Chamber of Commerce according to his contribution, but I think the 20% share will not be less."

What Ryan needs most is the manpower that Earl Winter will send to the Chamber of Commerce. Whether it is extraordinary flying wolf cavalry or a large number of slaves, they are indispensable ingredients for the birth of the Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why Lane wanted to unite with other nobles, including the commander of the Farrell Army, to form a chamber of commerce was because the chamber of commerce could not be established relying on the Lane family.

In addition, he also plans to extend the tentacles of the Chamber of Commerce to the north, so a large number of manpower will inevitably be needed.

…

The vast sky and earth are covered with snow.

The snow eagle flying in the sky inevitably has a pair of sharp eyes, and only such eyes can help it find the fleeting food in the snowy world.

It flew several thousand meters, but the world under its wings was still snow-white without any variegation. This made Snow Eagle a little anxious. The children at home were crying for food, and they didn't know how long they would survive.

Suddenly, its eyes saw a line of shadows on the ground.

They were shadows scattered high and low between the snow and the snow. The sun shone on the surface of the snow, thus covering the footprints covered by the snow with a layer of haze, but this could not be hidden from Snow Eagle's eyes.

It followed the line of footprints that were about to be covered and swooped down quickly, fearing that the prey in front of it would disappear under the snow the next moment.

Plop!

The sharp claws hit the hard metal, and suddenly the huge force made the Snow Eagle unbalanced. Its world spun around, and the entire Eagle was thrown into the snow. Its struggling wings fanned a large amount of snow that was not yet stiff. Looking to the sky, the quiet world became boiling at this moment.

Brand was about to pull out an arrow and throw it at Snow Eagle, but was interrupted by Ryan.

"We are almost to Areris's territory. Perhaps it is watching us from under the surrounding snow."

"Let it go."

Brand put the arrow back into the quiver on the back of the northern war horse, and a team of hundreds of cavalry continued to advance.

At the front, the tall golem puppet has turned white. Master Luna is at the front. The wind and snow accumulate on her body, so that the soldiers behind do not have to fight the biting cold wind.

This is the corner of the North. After leaving the Northwind Province and entering the North, Ryan has seen no more beasts and monsters than he can count on his hands. They are all hidden in this windy and snowy world. The best hunter is here. It's very likely that you won't be able to spot a snowflake deer crawling at your feet.

Boom! ! !

There was a roar from the distant peaks. It was because the unbearable snow on the peaks was collapsing, turning into an avalanche and flooding a forest below.

For the empire, the northern world in the north is the territory of the orcs, but in fact there is a continuous buffer zone between the two sides. This buffer zone was forcibly carved out of hundreds of years of war.

Moreover, the North is not entirely owned by orcs, but the aliens from the northern world that are further away from the human kingdom rarely appear on the land of the human empire.

As he gradually approached the territory of the frost dragon, Ryan found no trace of the orcs. Obviously, the orcs were also afraid that they would become food after the giant dragon woke up.

Finally, the team came to a valley. There was no wind and snow here, but the snow was still thick. Above the frozen lake, there were sharp ice spikes hanging down from the mountain peaks. They formed this ferocious landscape. A flag in the valley that no one can enter.

"Mr. Areris."

Ryan shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward and lifted out a colorful tiger that was nearly six meters long. The latter's head was wrapped in linen, tied with chains, and its limbs were also chained. Five or six attendants paid no attention to it. After using all his strength, he untied this huge beast from the mountain forest world and pinned it on the frozen lake.

The tiger struggled, even the metal chain was about to break under its fangs, but soon, the tiger froze, trembling, then turned and ran away.

The cracks in the ice spread from the bottom of the mountain to the edge of the lake. Several attendants just retreated here, but they also fell down due to unsteadiness.

The sound of cracks was clear and dense, and finally countless ice cubes shattered. The huge dragon did not spread its wings, but flew out from the depths of the lake like an arrow. Blood flowed from its mouth, and the tiger was killed. The frost dragon swallowed it in one gulp.

The dragon continued to fly high into the sky until it was level with the mountain. At the moment it was level with the mountain, its huge fleshy wings spread out, and the dragon swooped and flew from the sky. The indigenous ice-blue dragon breath in its mouth re-frozen the broken lake ice.

The snowy and muddy ground turned into pitiful and tidy ice at this moment. The mountain-like dragon gracefully landed on the ice, its long neck swinging down. Its ferocious head was less than ten meters away from Ryan. He could clearly feel the chill coming from the other person's breath, almost freezing his blood.

Suppressing the roar of the dragon that was about to erupt in his body, Ryan could not help but feel a little uneasy as he faced the world's top being at such a close distance for the first time.

"Human, you have intruded into my territory."

The voice of the frost dragon Areris was loud and reverberating, as if there were two channels in its throat, demonstrating the majesty of the dragon.

"Dear Mr. Areris, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. Perhaps these compensations can satisfy you."

Faced with the legendary life and power, Ryan showed considerable awe. This was the dragon, the representative of the legendary tyrannical villain.

The soldiers behind them dismounted, and the northern war horses froze in place in fear of the majesty of the dragon.

The shiny boxes were moved out one by one, and the obsidian inside was reflected in the frost dragon's eyes, making the ferocious head come closer.

"The obsidian sleeping deep in the world."

The dragon roared, and a storm of frost swept through the surrounding sky. All the obsidian surrounded the dragon, and then shattered little by little into powder that was invisible to the naked eye, and was swallowed by the frost dragon.

"Not enough, not enough!"

The dragon roared, and its huge body frightened the northern war horses, and they began to retreat. If the knights hadn't held on to the reins tightly, they might have lost control.

Ryan took out a gold-carved box and slowly opened it. One of the palm-sized obsidians was rippling with a slight blue color, like the eyes of a giant dragon.

"What about this piece?"

Ryan threw the obsidian and the gold box into the sky and said loudly:

"That box is the gold used by a kingdom to hold ancient crowns."

The frost dragon gently swallowed the box into its mouth, and then its pupils turned pale, and the golden lines in them touched the blue obsidian.

The surrounding air became even colder, until a few minutes later, the dragon landed on the ground again and looked at Ryan.

"Human, I am very satisfied with your gift, and I will forgive your interruption."

Spikes of ice began to appear on the ground, spreading from the dragon's feet towards Ryan, and the frost dragon was chasing people away.

"Mr. Areris, I bring sincerity. If you are willing to make a deal with me, maybe I can bring you more obsidian and more of the same obsidian."

roar--

With a dragon roar, a storm of frost flooded the fan-shaped earth from the giant dragon's mouth. Master Luna hit the ground with both fists. The stone wall stood up to resist the wind and snow, but a layer of frost quickly spread and was about to crack. Come on.

Rose stepped forward and dropped a drop of green liquid on the ground. The next moment, the earth seemed to come to life, the surrounding air was distorted, and finally the dragon's roar stopped.

"Damn Alchemist."

The dragon is breathing out its breath, and the terrifying power of the frost dragon is about to come.

"Where is Obsidian?"

Just like what Countess Winter said, dragons usually don't make deals with others, but rob them by their own means.

"The obsidian veins are in the heart of human civilization and are guarded by legendary magicians."

Ryan's voice rang out in the wind and snow. The power brought by the dragon to change the sky was too direct. Even he needed to summon up enough energy to make a sound.

"They used to make deals with the elves and sell obsidian to the elves, but now, they will sell part of it to me."

"Moreover, I can also bring you things other than obsidian, such as delicious food and beasts favored by the gods. In another world, I can continuously deliver them to you."

When Ryan opened his eyes, the dragon's huge head had appeared one meter away from him, and Brand and his attendants beside him had their palms on the hilts of the swords at their waists.

The energy and blood in his body surged, and Ryan finally adapted to the dragon's power. Looking at the head with barbs like a house in front of him, Ryan's voice calmed down.

"Mr. Areris, only I can help you bring you what you need. This is a deal that is more beneficial to you."

"Say your request, noble man of man."

The frost dragon calmed down, and the surrounding sky no longer surged with the power of wind and snow. The dragon in front of him was indeed much more humane, without the tyranny of the legendary dragon.

"I want to trade with you..."

Ryan told what Master Luna and Archmage McCann needed, and then said:

"I will use what you want, Mr. Areris, as a trade. In addition, there is a long-term deal between us."

"I hope my flag can walk safely in your territory. Of course, it will never disturb your sleep."

The frost dragon twisted its snake-like neck and looked at Ryan with its ferocious head.

"Human, you ask a lot."

Ryan smiled and said:

"Of course, so I'll pay you more."

Areris is thinking that as a dragon, its wisdom is not inferior to humans.

"This is necessary."

The frost dragon agreed to Ryan's deal and handed a dragon scale to Ryan.

Ryan was surprised that this dragon was quite well behaved.

After reaching a deal, Ryan immediately set off back to the Tundra Territory. Areris told him that he would wake up in a month and that the two parties would make a deal on that day.

"As you wish."

On the way back, Ryan finally no longer suppressed the power in his blood, and the low dragon's roar echoed on the surface of his body.

"If it knows that my blood contains dragon heart, will it lead to revenge?"

Ryan asked Rose, who thought it was very possible.

"The dragons are not harmonious with each other, but facing the dragon slayer who killed the dragon, there will be infinite malice."

Rose talked about the description in the book, because it was also the first time for him to see a giant dragon. In ordinary times and ordinary planes, how could he see a top life like a giant dragon so ordinary.

"It seems that I need to have less direct contact with him."

Ryan can no longer suppress the energy and blood in his body. The power of Dragon Heart has reached the most critical moment. It is burning and will integrate all the power in Ryan's body and turn it into a ladder to become a Sky Knight.

Returning to the Tundra Territory, Ryan rushed to Leiyun County without stopping. He needed to harvest his own gold mine. After so long, he still couldn't rest assured that the gold was left in another world.

They also have to catch food for the frost dragon. It seems that the giant dragon doesn't like to eat the carcasses of dead prey.

"Do we also need to make a good breeding plan?"

Ryan stood in front of the portal of another world, thinking about this problem, and then the moment he entered the other world of mountains and forests, he heard countless deafening roars coming from the mountains and forests in all directions.

"what happened?"

Like Ryan, there were many people who came in through the opened portal, and they all gathered around Ryan in fear at this moment.

In the distance, a knight rushed towards here quickly, and his body was stained with large amounts of blood.

"The monster, the monster appeared again. It ate the magic crystal mine we were mining. Most of the magic crystal mine was eaten by it. More than 600 mining slaves died."

The knight said with lingering fear. He only saw a huge shadow submerging the mountain and did not see the appearance of the monster. After telling Ryan what he knew, he left here and reported to the Marquis' mother.

"Eating most of the magic crystal veins in one bite?"

Ryan was surprised that this happened again and again. Did that guy feel that the world was accelerating towards the end?

He looked around. The mountains on all sides of this portal were almost bare. After Ryan had the foresight to cut down a large amount of firewood last year, other nobles also learned their lesson. At the beginning of this year, they arranged a large number of people to cut down trees and dry them into firewood.

And the main goal was to clean up the trees comprehensively. No matter how big or small, they cut down everything. For this world that was destined to die, the nobles had no mercy.
