Throne of the North

Precious obsidian is a land resource that any noble would envy. Such wealth is enough to maintain an extraordinary legion. However, the war also shattered the only extraordinary legion on this land.

The difficulties and troubles faced by the Carlos family are far more than they appear on the surface, and the feud with the royal family McReynolds is even more vivid.

But this is not the biggest trouble. The most critical point is that Carlos needs to transport the obsidian further east, to the territory of the elves, in order to trade for extraordinary potions that can only be brought by the elves.

This process was very bumpy and required military escort, but now the Carlos family no longer has a strong army that can do all this.

First of all, it is not feasible to send a large number of ordinary troops, because there are many noble territories that need to be passed along the way. The huge size of the army will make those nobles nervous and mistakenly think that the war has started.

In the past, Carlos arranged for the Kamikaze Legion to escort them. Only elite knights could deliver the obsidian to the elves and then return with what the Carlos family needed.

Lane's letter to Carlos was for this purpose, starting with Baron Mendez and Baron Dean, discussing the possibility of cooperation with Archduke Carlos.

"This Ryan!"

In the castle hall of the Carlos family, there are many members of the direct lineage. The elderly Grand Duke can no longer preside over the meeting clearly. The change of power belonging to the family is also proceeding in an orderly manner. However, everyone knows that the transition of power is never peaceful. Unruffled.

There are also a lot of contradictions within these people.

Sanctuary Knight Ian Carlos is the current anchor of this family. Especially after the destruction of the Kamikaze Legion, the attitude of the Sanctuary Knight can determine the future status of many people.

But at the critical moment, the grand duke with cloudy eyes ordered him not to participate in any struggle. He stayed away from the power of the family but still clung to the training of the knights and the control of the army.

The good thing is that Carlos temporarily stabilized, but the bad thing is that no one can make a final decision about this year's Obsidian transportation incident.

"There is an unforgivable hatred between us and Ryan. His army must not be allowed to escort our caravan. Moreover, we still don't know what Ryan's purpose is. He definitely has no good intentions."

Some people said loudly, while others retorted.

"Ryan is also a noble recognized by the Kingdom of Serra. The war is over. We are now followers of the Kingdom of Serra. Do we also have hatred between us and the king?"

"It's better to invite the royal family. The Griffin Legion can help us get through this winter faster."

The two voices actually represent the two directions within the Carlos family. Some want to get rid of the kingdom, while others rely on the new kingdom to gain power from others.

In the middle, Grand Duke Carlos was drowsy, and his eldest son, Huonan Carlos, looked at the people arguing and couldn't help but frown.

This is not the scene that should appear, because whether they are direct lineage or collateral lineage, knights or commoners, they are all subjects of the aristocracy. They do not have such great power, nor the power of such a loud voice. The final word of the aristocracy often decides everything. factors.

But today, these people dared to make a fuss in front of the Grand Duke.

Is it because his father no longer understands many things, or is it because he is still just the successor and has not yet fully become Grand Duke Carlos?

Why do these people think that their decisions can represent the Grand Duke and themselves?

"Enough!"

Roaring out angrily, Huonan Carlos looked at the people arguing. Under his gaze, everyone's heads lowered. Everyone understood who the power was born from. Just now, they were too aggressive and regarded themselves as the masters.

However, the eyes of some of them flickered, and their purpose of provoking disputes was not simple.

"I have decided to agree to Baron Lane's request and let his army escort Obsidian to the forest."

Woodland is a place name, but it is extremely vast. To the east of human civilization, there is a vast forest, which is called woodland.

Humans have tried to occupy it, but the wars with the elves have ended in failure time and time again.

In the past, elves would appear in the human world. After the war, elves no longer appeared, and it was difficult for humans to enter the forest and come out safely. The conflicts between races gradually became irreconcilable.

Interest is one of the few connecting points. Wealth such as obsidian cannot be given away by even the elves.

The Carlos family didn't know what Ryan's purpose was. Even if they agreed to Ryan's suggestion, they were extremely vigilant. But in fact, Ryan's purpose was very simple, that was one way.

A complete path into the woodland that Carlos has made over hundreds of years.

"The Holy See seems unwilling to start a war, so Lord Ryan gave us a new mission."

Appia said to Bogeld. The tall armored bear man stood up and slapped the shiny ore down.

The raw platinum is exposed and was mined in a very crude way.

"Go to the world of elves?"

Bogard opened her eyes wide. She had never seen an elf before. She heard that elf slaves were sold in the empire in the past.

Fifty armored bear warriors and fifty ordinary soldiers went to the Carlos family. After the armored bears showed their strength, Carlos no longer hesitated. Divine Grace Day was coming soon, and they had to send the obsidian there as soon as possible.

…

"God's Day is coming soon."

On Rhinoceros Mountain, Ryan sounded a little emotional. This year seemed to have been extremely long. After experiencing too many things, the year was finally coming to an end.

In his hand, he held an invitation letter from Earl Winter. Earl Winter's second son was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony on this Divine Grace Day. He attached great importance to this second son. Ryan faintly heard rumors among the nobles. Maybe the second son will be the talker of the Winter family in the future.

Ryan doesn't know why this is happening. What happened to the Winter family? Is Baiyu Winter, the successor of the Winter family, dead?

Avril stood next to Ryan and said with some suspicion.

"When I was at the Magic Academy, there was a rumor that happened for a while. I heard the archmages talking about it."

"It is said that there is a magician who has been favored by a great being. His flesh and blood body has transformed into an elemental body, and he is still a noble."

"The rumor did not mention the identity of the noble. I just know that the other party seems to be from the north."

"The elemental body of a magician is like Master Brock's never-tiring body. It is the best blessing for a magician, comparable to a legendary gift."

"What's the price?"

Ryan asked, he really didn't know much about the world of magic.

"Gradually losing everything a person has, everything looks like elements. Magicians call this kind of life a goblin."

"Natural fairies are good partners for magicians. They can help magicians produce many magical crops, especially those materials that have extremely demanding environmental requirements. No one can control the acquired fairies because their thinking surpasses that of humans. ”

"Fairy, interesting."

Ryan was about to set off for Earl Winter's territory. After no longer focusing on one thing, Ryan found that there seemed to be more things going on.

Fortunately, he only made the beginning of many things, and left the rest to the goddess of fate's favor.

For example, at this moment, Lawrence and Coney are in the north. They are holding the ice blue sword Frostmourne and are struggling for life and death in the north, waiting for the judgment of their fate.

Werewolves rushed out from the wind and snow in all directions. Lawrence held a sword in both hands and stared at these werewolves with his legs slightly bent. Several werewolf corpses had fallen around him, and their blood was covered by the wind and snow. , but such wind and snow also blocked Lawrence's retreat.

He can't run away, he can only survive by fighting and killing these werewolves.

"Come on!"

Lawrence took the initiative to launch an attack. His figure kept flickering in the wind and snow, and werewolves fell in front of him one after another. As more than half of the werewolves fell, the remaining werewolves roared unwillingly, turned and fled towards Deep in the hazy wind and snow.

"Hu~hu~"

Lawrence was breathing heavily. He was extremely tired, but he didn't dare to sit down. He was not sure if there were still werewolves watching in the dark, or if it was not just werewolves.

Pack your own packages, especially the warm carbon stone. This is a material purchased from the tundra territory. It can be stored for a long time in the north. Things used for heating are very important here.

He couldn't stay where he was. Although the wind and snow would cover up a lot of the smell of blood, the noses of the beasts and monsters in the north had also evolved, and those with poor sense of smell had died more than a hundred years ago.

Returning to the hidden cave, Lawrence lit the bonfire and then extinguished the flames. He put the carbon stone into it. He only needed the temperature. The excess flames would cause the enemy to appear. This was what he had gained in just a few days. lessons learned.

Relaxed, Lawrence began to think about another question.

How long does he need to survive in the North?

Ryan didn't give him a goal, but God's Day was coming soon, and Lawrence also wanted to go back and reunite with his family before God's Day.

It's just that he doesn't know when he can set off.

Baron Lane asked him to enter the North. What exactly did he want him to do?

After thinking for a long time, Lawrence covered the bonfire with snow and fell into a deep sleep.

When the next day comes, the sunlight does not mean much to the North, because the brightness of the North is not low at night. During the day, the sun shines down, and the world is not colorful, only deathly white. .

It was this color every day, and there was wind and snow every day. Lawrence could not imagine how humans could survive in such a world.

It is already not easy for him to live here alone.

The questions he was thinking about last night still echoed in Lawrence's mind. Perhaps his mind became much clearer after a night's sleep. Lawrence thought of what Ryan said to him before.

"Some members of the Meyers family have also entered the Northern Territory. They are adventurers registered with the Northern Territory Brave Guild and will bring back wealth in the Northern Territory."

Lawrence planned to look for these people, because they also entered the northern border from the tundra territory. Logically speaking, the direction would not be too far from his.

Just do it. After having a purpose, time passed much faster. Lawrence simply identified the direction and walked deeper into the north.

There are no roads in the north, so it is normal to walk through the snow. Of course, falling down is also normal.

Without paying attention, Lawrence fell towards the huge hole. In the panic, Lawrence, who was calm and calm, inserted the long sword into the ice. The sharp Frostmourne easily penetrated the ice wall and followed the snow. It fell with a crash, and Lawrence was suspended in mid-air.

Under his feet, there was a huge ice hole. He was hanging at a height of at least 20 meters from the ground of the hole. From the intricate cracks on the ice surface under his feet, it can be seen that it is unknown how deep it is below.

Lorens naturally did not want to fall down. He tried to climb up to the ground with the support of his long sword with both hands, but at this time, a rumbling sound like a galloping horse came from above his head. There is only one thing that can make such a sound in the North.

That is an avalanche.

Lorens' body also froze at this moment. He was hesitating whether to go up or down. In the end, listening to the roar getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth, stepped on the ice wall with one foot, and fell down while drawing out the long sword.

The knight's long sword once again pierced into the ice wall at a critical moment, slowing down Lorens' speed. He was a knight, but not an immortal knight. As the roar of the avalanche above his head became louder and louder, cracks appeared on the ice wall, and more and more ice blocks collapsed. Lorens could not use the force, and the whole person fell down and hit the smooth ice surface.

Holding on to a crack tightly, Lawrence didn't fall into the more desperate gap below.

"I just stepped on a pit, it won't cause an avalanche, right?"

Lawrence said unconfidently, and then he heard a deafening dragon roar from above his head.

Looking up, he saw huge wings in the faintly visible gap. The dragon spread its wings and soared in the sky. The frost dragon Areris didn't know what was wrong. He kept roaring in the wind and snow. The dragon roar resounded, and the whole world trembled under the majesty of the dragon.

The ice surface under Lawrence's feet was the same. The cracks on the trembling ice surface became larger and larger. Finally, the moment the avalanche came above his head, the ice surface under his feet also cracked again.

Looking down from the sky, a huge crack appeared on the land of the North, stretching for tens of thousands of meters in length, and the widest place was even more than two thousand meters, forming a huge rift valley.

No one knows what is in the depths of the rift, but the dragon in the sky is roaring crazily. It stares at the depths of the crack, but is unwilling to enter it to find the answer that only it may know.

The reaction of the dragon and the tremor of the earth caused a large range of movement. Life from all directions began to rush here, trying to find precious treasures.

In the depths of the rift, Lawrence opened his mouth wide and looked at the frozen dragon skeleton in front of him in shock.

"One, two..."

Lawrence has received aristocratic education, and knowledge is not a luxury for him, but at this moment, just the simplest number makes him feel depressed and unable to breathe.

"Ten, ten dragons died here?"

The neat skeletons of ten dragons were frozen here, and looking at the appearance of the skeletons, these dragons seemed to have been frozen alive before they died, and their fear and struggle were sealed in their bones. Lawrence saw some of them gathered their wings and spread them to try to take off, but they seemed to meet death at the last moment.

Similarly, the other nine dragons were similar. In the process of struggling, escaping, and resisting, they were instantly frozen without exception, and their flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only bones to record everything.

But is that all? No, Lawrence looked in the direction of the last few dragons that resisted, and a larger dragon skeleton appeared in his eyes. Only part of the corpse was exposed, and most of the rest was hidden in the falling snow, but Lawrence could still see the most bizarre place.

The dragon sat on the huge throne like a human, with a glittering crown on its head, a crown that belonged to the dragon. Because it was too big, the largest gem in the human world might not be inlaid on that crown.

It looked like a human, but it looked like a dragon. This scene made Lawrence stunned.

Dragons, adults are legendary lives, terrible existences at the top of the food chain, but they died here in large numbers.

Moreover, dragons are all lonely. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female. However, for dragons, it is difficult to accommodate one male and one female.

Lawrence wanted to get closer to there. Although he could see everything at a glance, he still had a long way to go before he could reach the top of the mountain, just like he was outside and inside the mountain.

But at this moment, a roar came from behind. Lawrence turned his head and saw a gray-skinned goblin holding a metal iron weapon he had picked up rushing towards him.

Behind it, there were more monsters like this.
