Throne of the North

On the way to the Earldom of Winter, the carriage engraved with magic patterns drove on the land of the North Wind Province, and the army was surrounded. This was a necessary way for the nobles to travel, after all, the orcs had not completely disappeared.

Ryan frowned, and Avril beside him didn't understand.

She always felt that Ryan was looking at something.

Ryan looked at his spiritual panel. It had been a while since the fall of Gam and Fenrir. The new world made him feel like he was about to emerge, but it seemed to be always missing the final step.

The new world seemed to be rejecting and excluding the connection with him.

"What is the reason?"

Ryan thought to himself, a little confused. This was the first time that the spiritual panel had a problem.

"Avril, in the knowledge of magic, will the world actively reject something?"

After hearing Ryan's words, Avril thought for some time and said hesitantly:

"In some books of the Magic Academy, it is mentioned that if a world is replaced by the will of the gods, then the will of the world will become the will of the gods. It is possible that the great Him will reject the entry of strange gods."

"Only gods will reject the existence of other gods?"

"Gods will not care about ants other than themselves."

"Even those legends who are powerful enough to destroy the world."

Could this be the reason? Ryan guessed that the gods of the new world are alive, much more awake than Gam's hound gods, and they may also sense the existence of the spiritual panel.

"Master."

Outside the carriage, Bild's voice sounded respectfully.

"We found the team of Earl Sauron and the nobles of Longshan County ahead."

The threat of orcs is interspersed in the land of the North Wind Province. If the small nobles want to travel, the best way is to stick together, such as gathering around Earl Sauron now, and everyone goes to the Earl of Winter together.

At this time, it can also be seen that the factions brought about by land and geographical location are very obvious and natural.

Everyone deals with each other every now and then, so they are naturally more familiar with each other.

Just like Ryan's team also has carriages from other teams in Lingdu County.

"Lord Earl."

"Baron Ryan."

The nobles greeted each other and set off together. Recently, the relationship between Earl Sauron and Ryan is not very good.

After the war, the interests of the nobles were separated, and Ryan's dominant position in the Northern Chamber of Commerce also seriously affected Earl Sauron's right to speak.

Ryan naturally wouldn't talk about this kind of thing specifically, but changed the subject and said:

"Is the heir of Chrysus Meyers still in the North Wind Province?"

"He shouldn't leave for a long time."

Count Sauron said:

"Meyers still has great power in the North Wind Province. They are the emperor's agents here, but if Chrysus stays here for too long, people will doubt whether Meyers really wants to move to the North Wind Province."

It is not a good thing for the heir of the Grand Duke's family to be alone outside from time to time. The nobles hope for a stable inheritance and for the hereditary power to continue.

The heir's running around represents many uncertain factors and variables.

If something happens and the heir's position is affected, it will be a heavy blow to the nobles.

For example, the current Earl Winter.

Ryan's rise dealt a heavy blow to the great nobles of the North Wind Province, and the rights of the Earl Sauron family were affected. For the Earl Winter family, the influence and changes Ryan gave them were not as good as this coming-of-age ceremony for the second son.

For ordinary nobles, how could a second son's coming-of-age ceremony be qualified for all nobles to attend? The fact that Earl Winter invited so many people itself shows the seriousness of the problem and the news conveyed in the rumors, which is 99% true.

As a result, the nobles have doubts and distrust of Earl Winter's family. The hereditary power has changed, which makes the nobles like this.

It is directly reflected in the fact that the resources collected by the Northern Chamber of Commerce on this land are more enthusiastic than in the previous quarters, and the quantity and quality have increased. This is the nobles' temptation to Baron Ryan, and it also represents their hesitation towards Earl Winter.

Ryan is happy to see this scene, but he doesn't know what Earl Winter thinks. How can an eldest son be sent to be a spiritual state of transcendence.

Is he still a human? Strictly speaking, he is no longer a human, and it is impossible for him to become a noble.

Just like the Leta family in the Andara Kingdom, many of the knights around Grand Duke Leta have become witches and ghosts, but the Grand Duke is definitely a human life form.

That's it. The nobles of the kingdom still find it difficult to accept the Grand Duke's family, let alone the heir of Earl Winter, Baiyu Winter.

The second son's coming-of-age ceremony is also the explanation given by the Winter family to the nobles.

"It seems that he will also appear in Earl Winter's castle."

"I also want to discuss the affairs of the Northern Brave Guild with Mr. Chrysos. His adventure group has not been heard from since entering the North. I wonder what kind of surprises it will bring."

After Ryan finished speaking, he continued to ask:

"What does the Earl think of the second son, Castor Winter?"

Ryan still remembered that Earl Sauron was not polite to the Earl's second son on the battlefield before.

"Hmph!"

Count Sauron snorted coldly. The relationship between him and Count Winter was not good. At the meeting, Count Winter called him and Count Weiss by their names. The war eased the relationship, and the end of the war also froze the relationship again.

"After the boy was born, his magic talent was not high, and his talent in the knight path was not necessarily good, but Winter wanted to replicate the path of himself and Hora, so that the next generation of the Winter family would be equally powerful and continue the next hundred years of the Winter family."

"When Castor was five years old, Winter planned to use dragon blood bathing to improve his physique, so he found me."

"In view of the value of the gold coins, I agreed to his request and used the potions of the Sauron family to help him improve his physique, but these potions need to be used in conjunction with the knight training method of the Sauron family."

"That boy is very courageous. He dared to look down on the knight training method inherited by my Sauron family."

The conflict between the two earls did not break out because of one or two things, but many similar things combined together.

Sauron looked at Ryan and suddenly laughed.

"Don't think too highly of that kid. Winter didn't train him to be a noble before, but he has great ambitions, just like you."

"The only difference is that he doesn't have your ability, a little guy with high ambitions but low skills."

"If the Winter family is handed over to him, I can live a few more years."

Count Sauron laughed, but soon thought of Ryan next to him.

Without the Winter family, there is still the Ryan family, both of which are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"Hmph!"

The count snorted again, closed his eyes and rested his mind and stopped communicating with Ryan.

Ryan, who originally wanted to win over Count Sauron to deal with Chrysus Meyers, had no choice but to give up.

The team entered Beifeng County and gradually came to the original battlefield.

There are still countless scorch marks here. There may be a lot of vitality in the spring of next year, but the dead silence of this winter makes many people despair.

Passing through the Winter Canyon, this canyon has been widened a little. The change of geographical location by war is better than the change of the world itself for thousands of years.

The towns in the Earl of Winter's territory still looked prosperous, but the sadness on people's faces made Ryan understand that the losses suffered by the Earl of Winter's territory would probably take at least a dozen years to ease.

The trauma of a generation brought by the war needs a new generation to erase.

Compared to the outside, the Earl's castle was decorated with lights and the atmosphere of joy was much better.

But Ryan did not see the Flying Wolf Cavalry.

It was only a few days away from the God's Grace Festival, and the nobles rarely entered a state of political struggle. Perhaps this year's war made everyone tired.

And Ryan once again witnessed the luxury of the nobles. If it were not for the nature of the banquet, Ryan suspected that some nobles would judge those maids in front of everyone.

Ryan also saw the second son of the Earl, Castor Winter, standing in the light and shadow, responding to the nobles' greetings with the attitude of a noble.

Earl Winter's purpose was self-evident, so Ryan saw that some nobles in Beifeng County were not so relaxed.

Ryan smiled and walked forward.

"Lord Viscount Bronson, how are you? I wonder if you have recovered the farmland destroyed by the orcs?"

...

Northern Territory.

Lawrence and Connie supported each other and walked awkwardly on the snow.

"Isn't this northern territory too scary? I didn't encounter these monsters when I came here before."

"It must be because of that place that awakened these monsters."

As the rift shook, the dragon roared in the sky, and the originally dead northern territory seemed to wake up, giving them a sense of vitality.

But such awakening is not a good thing for the two humans. Although there are no goblins chasing them, the endless fierce monsters on the surface and the threats brought by the northern territory itself still make the two survive again and again.

"But we still survived, didn't we? This is the grace of the gods to us. He told everyone that we can survive."

The mountain in front is close at hand. After crossing the mountains in front of them, they will be home.

"Who are you going to tell about that?"

Lorens asked, and Connie hesitated. He knew that Lorens's identity was the noble blood of the empire, and he was the noble heir of the Sera Kingdom.

But in this journey, Baron Ryan's name cannot be ignored, and even exceeds the pressure brought by their own identities.

"My father obviously can't solve the problem about the dragon."

Lorens said directly:

"I will go to Lingdu City first, and then return to the family."

Connie has a lot to think about. The Dean family betrayed the Andara Kingdom and went to the Sera Kingdom. The reputation of betrayers on their shoulders made them unwelcome in many places.

Lorens doesn't need too many choices, because he is a noble of the empire himself, and he always has to choose a powerful noble to tell this matter.

"I... don't know either."

"The McReynolds royal family has a good relationship with Lord Ryan, but there may be too many interests involved in this matter."

"Dragon bone marrow may make them join forces, or maybe not..."

Connie gritted his teeth and looked at the knight's sword in his hand. Compared with the king, Lord Count Ryan has a stronger control over him.

"I plan to tell Lord Ryan first and then listen to his opinion."

Lawrence nodded and said:

"Then I won't tell anyone else what I found out with you."

Kony glanced at Lawrence gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me. Maybe we will be on the same battlefield in the future."

The two looked at the weapons in their hands. This sword was not only a weapon, but also gradually became a symbol of their identity.

The Festival of God's Grace has finally arrived. The North Wind Province has endured too much in the past year, and the nobles all hope that the coming year will be a bumper harvest.

"Praise the great light, praise the noble Emperor Flor, praise the nobles for protecting the land."

The gods are the boss, the emperor is the second, and the nobles are the third. There is actually a change here, and the pope is missing.

In the past, praising the Pope was also a part of the Divine Grace Festival. Now that the empire no longer has this step, the nobles have become accustomed to it.

On this day, the Earl of Winter also held a grand ceremony. The most important thing was to transcend the emotions of the nobles. Then when the sun was brightest, the second son of Earl Winter and the new heir to the Earl family also showed himself The minions fought passionately against the ten knights on the high platform, and finally won.

The performance battle still made many people cheer.

"It seems that there will be no surprises in this matter."

Ryan's voice was not loud, but the nobles around him were at least viscounts.

"Earl Winter's change of successor was too hasty and simple."

A noble said helplessly that the replacement of the heir to the title should not be like this, even if it is force majeure, but Earl Winter obviously did not want the change of his eldest son to be made public.

The nobleman who spoke was Viscount Bronson, Viscount of Northwind County.

The nobles all had their own considerations, but they would not discuss the matter openly. Ryan also communicated with Chrysos as if he had not heard anything.

"Mr. Chrysos, I don't know what kind of surprise your adventure group can bring me back. If possible, I hope they can disclose their adventure in the north."

"The bards in my territory are looking forward to stories like this. I believe it can also help spread the prestige of Meyers."

"Of course, the wealth they brought back will definitely not disappoint Baron Lane."

Chrysos smiled and agreed. He didn't care about this matter. The adventure group was originally used to confuse Ryan's sight.

The Divine Grace Festival is over. This day is no different from previous Divine Grace Festivals. The gods have not appeared in the world. With the arrival of the new year, except for the nobles of Beifeng County, other nobles do not have much emotion.

"The natural advantages brought by geographical location will also change."

In the carriage, Ryan gestured to what is now the North Wind Province.

The nobles of Iron Mountain County stayed away from Earl Winter because of their losses in the war, and now they relied more on him, Baron Lane.

The nobles of Yinchuan County are gradually moving closer to themselves because of Viscount Hogg's relationship. However, Viscount Hogg's purpose is also very direct. One is to form an alliance with Ryan without the royal family as a backer, and the other is to Get the source of the war horse from Ryan.

It can be regarded as gradually realizing the fact that his territory is closer to the north than to the royal family.

Of the remaining counties, Meyers controls Thunder Cloud County, but at least half of the nobles there can be won over. Earl Winter's interest in Beifong County is now due to the brilliance of the war and the change of successors, which has also caused the nobles to have doubts. Shaken, this is Ryan's chance.

Viscount Landa has been running around for several years, and now he has settled in the Xiangshan Plain. There is indeed huge wealth there. When Ryan frees up his hands, Viscount Landa will definitely move closer to him.

So now, Earl Sauron and that land in Longshan County have become the hardest bones for Ryan?

He wanted to obtain all the power of the North Wind Province, not through the leading nobles, but directly facing each noble, so that even if the leading one changes sides, the rest of the flock will not betray that kind of power.

To completely achieve this step, food needs to grow in the swamp, but this process needs to be reconciled by interests.

In the new year, many plans must be realized.

Ryan stretched, thinking about the proposals made by the nobles to him at the banquet, and then glanced at Avril.

Finally, he shook his head and said with Avril's blushing expression:

"I never doubted that I could become a legend."

If a child is born after a legend, he will truly be a second generation extraordinary.

Lingdu City came into view. Following the butler's report, Ryan was a little surprised that the two people came back alive.

"I thought I already needed to carry the gold coins to apologize to Baron Xavier."

Ryan looked at the much more mature Lawrence in front of him and nodded, satisfied with his current strength.

"It seems that the North has made you grow a lot."

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Ryan."

Lawrence was sincerely grateful that Ryan allowed him to see a broader world and led him onto the ladder of a more colorful world.

His future is no longer limited to a small territory of dozens of miles.

"This time in the north, we...I made a discovery."

Lawrence slowly introduced Rift Valley and Dragon Bone, causing Ryan to narrow his eyes.

"Is that why the giant frost dragon stayed there because of this place?"

Lian murmured, guessing the purpose of the frost dragon Areris, and then his eyes fell on the drop of dragon marrow in Lawrence's hand that looked like crystal.

The moment he took the dragon marrow, Ryan's pupils shrank sharply, and he heard a dragon roar that shocked his soul.

It didn't come from the dragon marrow in his hand, but from the spiritual panel.

Roar——
