Throne of the North

Ryan learned the news much later, because the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera wanted to wait for the result of the Holy See. Before that, no one passed the news to Ryan. After seeing no signs of the Holy See mobilizing troops, the nobles finally passed the news to him.

However, Ryan was not surprised by what happened in the Kingdom of Sera. He had long guessed that there would be a conflict with the Holy See there, but he didn't know how.

What really surprised him was that the Holy See did not gather troops and approached the border of the empire in the name of the dawn after the three days of miracles.

War may not necessarily break out, but the power of action under the miracle can put a lot of pressure on the empire.

Adriana seemed to be indifferent to this, which was in sharp contrast to the previous Pastor Soto. The Sera royal family might be happy to see such an outcome.

The Holy See did not interfere with their power.

This made the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera full of confidence and began to concentrate on the conflict with the nobles of the Kingdom of Andara.

However, the outbreak of external conflicts often means that internal conflicts are irreconcilable. The clash between the nobles of the Serra Kingdom and the Andara Kingdom did not start in one or two days, but because in the past, the dissatisfaction between the nobles had already existed and could not be resolved by means other than war.

The nobles in the Serra Kingdom are divided into three factions. One faction is the loyal followers, that is, the first batch of nobles who followed McReynolds to establish the kingdom. There are not many of them, but in today's Serra Kingdom, they have gradually exposed their importance-the king prefers to let them control the key kingdom policies.

The second part is the original nobles on this land, such as the four large noble territories. Why did they gradually become dissatisfied and have frequent conflicts after the birth of the Serra Kingdom?

The answer is also very simple, because after the establishment of the Serra Kingdom, their territory has shrunk severely.

Once a hundred mountains were their territory, but now there are only ten left, but the transfer of territory cannot be completed in a short time, and the interest disputes on the land have led to constant conflicts.

The third group of nobles in the kingdom are those who came from the Andara Kingdom. They failed to catch the first express train. As latecomers, they were given new lands because the Serra Kingdom needed their support.

These lands came from the shrunken territories of the great nobles.

The conflicts among the nobles were driven by desire and ambition. The surface of the Serra Kingdom seemed peaceful, but in fact it was already full of cracks. After a simple analysis, Ryan saw through the Serra Kingdom.

"If you want to resolve such disputes, you have to join the disputes here."

The team led by Bogeld is only the first step, and Ryan wants to resolve the conflicts in the Serra Kingdom, of course not to please the king of the Serra Kingdom.

It's just for his own interests.

The Serra Kingdom is not obedient to the Holy See, and similarly, it is not too close to the Empire. Perhaps in their own eyes, the Serra Kingdom is a land that survives in the cracks and gets along with both sides.

But in Ryan's view, such a road is too precarious, but this is exactly what the Serra Kingdom does not want to see the most.

The kingdom was just established, and everything was in ruins. When snakes and rats get together, blood and fire will always break out at an opportunity.

The legendary Emperor Feng suppressed the hidden dangers alone, but he could not make the hidden dangers disappear.

For the Kingdom of Sera, it is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Ryan could not see the future, but he could see his own opportunity from the precarious Kingdom of Sera.

In fact, none of the three factions of the kingdom's nobles is strong enough.

"If you want to defeat them, you need a fuse and "soldiers" who charge into battle."

On the Rhino Horn Mountain, Ryan put the ice on the table. The dense carvings surrounded the middle position. Each carving had a simple outline, which was a noble emblem, including the outline of his Rhino Horn Mountain.

The ice carvings were difficult to move in their own positions until Ryan pushed a new carving from a distance, and a large number of carvings standing in place flew out.

They were carved from ice. Although they stood in place for a while, the bottom was too smooth. After being hit by a huge force, they flew out directly. Many carvings even fell on the table and broke into pieces.

In Ryan's eyes, these carvings were the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera at the moment. Their foundations were empty and unstable.

And what did the carvings that created them represent?

Ryan looked up and had plans for many things in the Kingdom of Sera.

"Only by experiencing the fear and courage of destruction and rebirth can one move forward and give up everything to gamble on life."

...

The Kingdom of Sera, outside the palace.

The construction of the royal city is in full swing. All the disputes and contradictions in the kingdom cannot affect the construction of this royal city, because everything is erupted around the new civilization of the Kingdom of Sera.

Recently, some strangers have appeared in the Royal City of Sera, which is still only an outline.

Civilians and slaves cannot look directly at these strangers, but it is also difficult for these people to contact the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera.

They seemed to be caught in the gap between the nobles and the common people, struggling hard.

They are nobles, nobles who have lost their country, or in other words, they have lost their land, their glory, and everything. Only a broken flag and badge are left to remember the ancient honor. They are recognized by the nobles, but not accepted by them. identity.

The wandering nobles are a description of these people, and the subjugated nobles are a satire on them.

Suffering strange looks and a life that was completely inconsistent with their status, many such nobles died in obscurity on a strange night in a remote corner.

What killed them was the power called dignity. Of course, it could also be incompetence and rage, because many wandering nobles, after recognizing their noble status and the glory of their ancestors, simply could not accept the low-end of having to work to be full. process.

Some subjugated nobles fend for themselves, while others are always looking for opportunities to restore their family's glory.

For example, the descendant of the ancient blood who now leads the imperial army in the Kingdom of Andara.

Also like these strangers appearing in the Kingdom of Sera.

They looked for every possible opportunity, and the birth of the Serra Kingdom was a rare opportunity for some subjugated nobles.

Kelder Valencia, who was responsible for the construction of wooden houses in three streets of the Royal City of Serra, was such a wandering nobleman who had lost his country. He came here to restore the glory of his family and regain a piece of land belonging to Valencia.

The new kingdom of Serra was full of opportunities for him to do all this.

But the first problem that stood in front of him was that he could not see the ruler of this kingdom. The noble king would not easily receive a nobleman without a territory. They were wanderers. Without their own industry and land, they would have nothing. Qualified to sit at the same table as the nobles.

Using some means, Kelder Valencia became a manager in the construction of the royal city. He did not ask for any compensation, he just wanted a chance to meet the king after completing the work.

Behind him, the people of Valencia were all aggrieved. It was originally a matter of course for a noble to meet the king, and there was no need for too many procedures at all. But now in order to meet the king, they need to work constantly and supervise those people day and night. Slaves built and lived together in muddy and fetid houses.

"This is our only chance. In the empire, we can't see the emperor, or even the powerful nobles. With the emergence of the Lordship system, the recovery of the Valencia family seems to have become an unattainable luxury."

"But we can't give up."

Kelder said this to the Valencia family members, but someone couldn't help asking a question that he couldn't answer.

"But Keld, even if we meet the king, what kind of promise can we make?"

"The king has no shortage of loyal followers. Our loyalty has no value in his eyes, but apart from that, we have nothing."

The Valencia tribesmen looked at Kelder and covered up their patched clothes.

The patch is located inside and is difficult to detect. This is due to the excellent knitting skills of the Valencia family. However, no matter how hidden it is, the fact that the patch exists cannot be erased.

The nobles actually wore such clothes. The people of Valencia raised their heads proudly in front of civilians and slaves, but when they approached the nobles, they all shrank themselves down like little people who dared not take a big walk.

They are proud, but also feel inferior.

Those who are able to show up here are already considered members of the Valencia family who have a correct understanding of themselves.

So their question was fatal. Even Kelder fell silent. He didn't know the answer to the question. He just wanted to see the king and get a chance, but as the question said, he didn't Know what to say when the time comes.

Kneel down and kiss the ground before the king? If this could achieve the result of returning to the noble ladder, he believed that there would be no soil around the palace lands of the Empire and the Nine Kingdoms on the Norris continent.

The king never lacked followers who were loyal to him. As long as they opened their mouths, thousands of people would fanatically swear allegiance to them.

People with only one life left have this only and only capital.

Valencia could not have acquired land in this way.

But if not, what can we do?

Kelder Valencia was confused. He didn't know how to solve the doubts of his tribe. At this moment, a tribesman came over to him and said:

"Kelder, there are a few people outside. It seems that a certain noble wants to invite you over for dinner."

The tribesmen in Valencia were extremely surprised to be invited by the nobles. For the wandering nobles, this was a recognition of their status.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

It can only be said that a drowning person will try his best for any life-saving straw. When he was a noble, he had no feeling. After becoming a wandering noble, this small kindness can be remembered by the wandering nobles for a long time.

A tribesman urged Kelder to leave quickly. Nobles should not stand on such filthy land.

So, in the evening of the same day, Kelder Valencia, who was neatly dressed and gorgeous, appeared in a building on the edge of the palace, where many people of both high and low status gathered.

Why can't it go up or down? Because if the nobles come, this place will be high-end. When there are no nobles, this place will be a group of wanderers bragging about the family's past glory.

It’s not just the Valencia family that comes to the Serra Kingdom, they also have many competitors, and they will naturally form a circle.

Kelder was led by his servant to the top floor of the three-story stone house. The place was a little deserted, but it made Kelder straighten his back and take care of the noble clothes meticulously.

Of course, the noble would not get involved with too many mud-legged people. He raised his head with firm eyes and did not dare to slacken the dignity of the Valencia family.

The more something is missing, the more he cares about it, at least in Alberto's view, because he is like this himself, and he has not seen anyone care so much in Lord Ryan or the nobles in the North Wind Province. Immaculately dressed.

"Mr. Caird Valencia, welcome to your arrival. My name is Alberto, Alberto Obrez."

Alberto performed aristocratic etiquette on Kelde, and the two equally meticulous people seemed to have found a soulmate.

"The Obres family."

Kelder nodded with a smile and said:

"When I was very young, I heard about the glory of this family in the family history, a noble family, but I was too young at that time and did not listen carefully to the teacher's story."

Alberto felt a little helpless when he heard Kelder's compliment. His family is in another dead world. Have you really heard of it? Are you still wandering here if you have this ability?

He did not expose it, but said with a smile:

"I have also heard about the great name of the Valencia family, but my family's glory is in the past. Now I am meeting you on behalf of Ryan, Mr. Kelder."

Kelder's expression froze in place. He looked at Alberto. This man who was obviously a noble was actually not a noble?

His words were a compliment to the wrong person?

"Ryan? Is he the Baron Ryan of the North that I know?"

"Yes, but in the Kingdom of Serra, Mr. Kelder can also call Earl Lane. In this land, Lane's name is engraved together by two dukes and four counts."

"Just like the construction of this city, His Majesty King Serra also asked Lord Lane for his opinion. In the future, there will be a street named Lane."

Alberto talked about Ryan's power in this land, which shocked Kelder so much that his face turned red. He had always dreamed of having such power, but the dream was false, but now he actually has it. I saw the nobles whose dreams came true.

"I was also a noble before, but now I am a wandering noble like you. But maybe I am luckier than Mr. Kelder. On the edge of death, I met Mr. Ryan who saved my family, now Alberto , is a follower of Ryan.”

Alberto said calmly, the difference between him and Kelder in front of him is that he has really experienced the death of the world, the dead silence of eternal winter, the endless coldness and despair, which is far better than the dignity and honor of a nobleman. Even more confusing.

So he accepted everything now more calmly, because he had experienced even more desperate situations.

"I heard that Mr. Kelder's Valencia family came to the Serra Kingdom from the Empire?"

"I don't think your purpose is to become the overseer of this royal city, right? You want to see the king and ask him to grant you a piece of land for the inheritance and reproduction of the Valencia family."

"only……"

Alberto looked at Kelder and asked a question that made the latter embarrassed but familiar.

"I wonder what bargaining chips the Valencia family has that can impress the king?"

The two ends of the scale are always balanced. If you want to obtain precious land and titles, the other end must pay enough chips.

Alberto believes that the Valencia family has nothing, just like when they passed through the gate of the plane and entered the tundra territory. Except for the wealth they can carry, all the remaining wealth will be given to Ryan in exchange for A brand new opportunity.

Everything, for the Valencia family, everything they have is very thin, that is their own noble life.

Nothing else.

King Serra will not kill them because the price/performance ratio is too low, but this is the Valencia family's only bargaining chip.

This bargaining chip cannot be exchanged for a piece of land, but it can be traded with Baron Lane.

"Lord Ryan is the only noble in this land who recognizes what you have."

"I just don't know if the Valencia family is willing to pay this price for a chance to become a noble again."

"Before arriving, Mr. Ryan told me that you are not without choices. On the contrary, if you can put down your status, you have many choices. The nobles are willing to accept wandering nobles like you to become a member of their family and expand the family. influence.”

"You have many choices, Master Ryan is just giving you one."

Kelder did not agree with Alberto's words. It seemed that thousands of roads lay before them, the wandering nobles. In fact, they were already standing on the edge of the cliff.

Now, when the cliff is crumbling, a rope finally appears in front.

"Please tell Lord Lane that Valencia accepts the kindness he has given us, and we will repay it with our lives, sworn in the name of Keld Valencia, the sixteenth generation patriarch of the Valencia family. "

Kelder looked at Alberto firmly, who looked surprised.

"I haven't said what Lord Ryan wants you to do."

"On the road to becoming a lord and noble - whatever you do."

Kelder's voice was still terrifyingly firm, just like the look in his eyes when he walked in just now.
