Throne of the North

The corpse of a giant dragon, in the Norris continent, such a thing must be a precious treasure that would arouse the greed of countless people and even start a war, but here, it seems particularly cheap.

Ryan collected some of the dragon blood and gave the rest to the frost giants. Their life growth requires a lot of energy, which dragons can provide.

"Dragon blood needs to be sealed with magic, and they can be sold at a very high price."

Lagerlof and Lagros stayed in Nidhogg. Lagros in the sanctuary will help Ryan defend against the invasion of dragons, and Lagerlof will try to hunt legendary dragons and find out the frost giants who were sacrificed.

According to the frost giant leader, he will start a war between frost giants and dragons.

Ryan is happy to do so. The arrival of the frost giants can at least effectively prevent the dragons from destroying human civilization.

"It is unrealistic to rely on the frost giants to conquer Nidhoggr."

Returning to the frozen land, Ryan thought like this. He didn't know how many frost giants Lagerlov could bring, but the number was definitely not as large as the dragon. The most important thing was that the frost giants did not have the power to fight against the two great beings of Nidhoggr. This meant that Ryan could not use the frost giants to achieve the final achievement.

While the frost giants were fighting against the dragons, Ryan needed to think of a better way.

In the next few days, Ryan did not hear any bad news from the other world, and gradually felt relieved. After all, dragons did not live in groups, which reduced Ryan's pressure a lot.

"The next goal is to harvest spirituality. When the spirituality is replenished, at worst, Nidhoggr will be abandoned and all the population will be brought to the North Wind Province."

Lian thought like this. He did not forget what he really needed, which was the spirituality brought by the population, not a different world.

[Spirituality: 123645]

[Spiritual Blessing: Deer Spirit Blessing...]

[Divinity: Eternity, Giant Mammoth]

More than 120,000 spiritualities have allowed Ryan to spend boldly for a long time, and the balance is still growing. This is the fundamental way to directly improve the strength of his subordinates.

...

News came from the south.

It's spring, and the Chamber of Commerce has appeared in the north and started to move. In the land of the south, the nobles will move faster.

The Viscount Melendez family has started the new year's water trade and brought a lot of information to Ryan from the south.

The most important thing is that the wonders of light have been transported to the imperial capital province. Emperor Flor's daily work seems to be very simple. It is enough to show his holiness in front of people and show the gift and faith of light.

What surprised Ryan was that Emperor Flor actually accepted the gift from the God of Light.

He was officially crowned as the Grand Pope of Light. On this day, Emperor Flor combined royal power and divine power.

In one day, the weather in Norris changed. No one knew what those kingdoms and nobles who were loyal to the Church of Dawn thought.

But there must be people who chose to secretly surrender to Emperor Flor because of their piety and their own interests.

The only barrier that once restricted the nobles from surrendering to the empire is now gone, and everyone can feel the joy of Emperor Flor these days.

Because he allocated funds.

"The North Wind Province received 100,000 gold coins to repair the farmland and fortresses destroyed after the war with the orcs. His Majesty Emperor Flor, in the name of the emperor and the pope, praised Baron Ryan for his outstanding contribution to human civilization in the war with the orcs."

"His Majesty Emperor Flor will give Baron Ryan three precious Templar potions as a reward for Baron Ryan."

The belated reward, the Templar Knight potion, is not a magic potion, but an ancient alchemical potion. However, no matter how smoothly magic develops in the empire, the Templar Knight potion will always be the potion most desired by the knights.

Because it is the best in the world, the best knight potion for breaking through the Holy Domain.

When the Sky Knight reaches the peak and everything is ready, the Temple Potion can increase the success rate of the knight breaking through the Holy Domain by 30%.

Since the only qualification for entering the Legend through the Extraordinary Path is the advent of the Legendary Gift, the Temple Knight Potion is also known as the best Extraordinary Potion in the practice of the Extraordinary Path.

It is very precious, but it is obviously not comparable to Ryan's contribution in killing the Werewolf King.

Ryan has gotten used to it.

This is the rule of the Empire. At the beginning, Grand Duke Meyers's contribution was rewarded with a basket of pioneering orders, and Earl Clayton's contribution was rewarded with a baron title. When it comes to Baron Ryan, it even feels better than the previous two.

However, it may also be because for those two great nobles, even the emperor has nothing to reward, but for a small noble like Ryan, the emperor can leak out some treasures at will, which is extremely precious.

After three potions, Emperor Flor also divided the swamp into the area of ​​Ryan's frozen land territory.

Although he had a title, in reality, it was the same as if he hadn't spoken. The swamp had already been included in the development area of ​​the frozen land by Ryan.

"At least he is willing to give benefits, right?"

What else can the nobles ask for from the noble emperor? Ryan was very calm. What the nobles wanted to get was not from others' rewards, but from the nobles themselves.

Emperor Flor was even willing to allocate funds to the North Wind Province. It seemed that he had gained more during this period.

For example, some southern nobles are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

Otherwise, there is no second reason to prove why he is so happy.

Ryan can think of it, and the Dawn Church can naturally think of it.

"The Holy Heavenly Knights will follow the will of the Lord of Dawn and walk the Dawn Road again!"

The Pope's cold voice echoed on the Holy Mountain, and as a result, many nobles felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The Dawn Road is not a beautiful word.

The doctrine of the Dawn Church is to serve the great Lord of Dawn, believe that the Lord's glory can illuminate all the darkness in the world, and let the world be shrouded in the great holy light of the Dawn.

The name of the Dawn Road was born from this doctrine, the process of the initial preaching of the clergy of the Church, and the process of the world's first ray of dawn stretching from the horizon and illuminating.

The dawn pierced the darkness of the eternal night, and the clergy followed this ray of dawn to kill countless heretics who were unwilling to become believers of the Dawn. The road of blood flowing like a river cast the glory of the Dawn Church.

In short, the rise of the Church of Dawn, the process of their becoming the world hegemon, and the process of expelling all foreign gods, is the road of Dawn.

This road is destined to be bumpy, but the success of the Church of Dawn means that countless enemies will die in front of them.

The Church must purge all heretics and make those who disrespect Dawn disappear into ashes.

The anger of the Pope can be imagined. He absolutely cannot accept the nobles in the south defecting to the Empire.

The Pope tolerated the faith on the land of the Empire because the Empire became stronger. The Pope also had reasons for the faith on the land of the Andara Kingdom, because the Andara royal family blasphemed the gods and encountered the curse of the gods. As believers serving the great existence, they could not help the Andara royal family purify the curse in their blood, so they simply gave up the Andara royal family.

The Pope did not give up the land outside the Andara royal family, but with this reason, he could accept the current outcome.

It can be done once or twice, but not again and again. The Pope will never allow more nobles to become allies of the Empire.

All betrayers will be punished by the holy fire.

The Holy Heavenly Knights, the Holy Knights led by the legendary knight Damon, are not responsible for killing, because the Holy Heavenly Knights always represent the best virtues. The knights among them can use their bodies to help believers resist the threat of death, burn all their vitality, fight for humanity, and...

In short, they have all the justice that can be thought of in human civilization.

They are the most beautiful part of the dawn in the world.

The army composed of 10,000 Holy Heavenly Knights began to literally follow the first ray of light of the dawn, starting from the Holy Mountain and heading towards the far end of the world.

Their purpose is just to walk once and let everyone see the Holy Heavenly Knights Corps representing justice. They will help countless people, whether they are civilians, slaves or nobles, and all the difficulties they encounter will be trampled to the ground by the Holy Heavenly Knights Corps.

Where they have walked is the bloody butcher knife of the Church.

Don't underestimate the clergy of the Church. They have many ways to know whether the nobles are still loyal to the dawn.

The simplest ones are the priests, those priests who devoutly serve the Dawn and are blessed by divine arts. They only need to ask or even look to know whether the nobles' faith is firm and pious.

If they still stand on the side of the Dawn Church, then there is nothing to worry about. The priests will be willing to lose their vitality and help the nobles heal their injuries. What scars and disabilities, the priests have the ability to restore them to their original state.

But if the nobles' faith is not pious enough, then I'm sorry, the priests will pray for every human being and pray that their souls will be at peace.

The butcher's knife is not in the hands of these priests.

After the priests leave, the arrival of the third batch of church personnel is the real nightmare of the nobles.

An absolutely violent institution, the church has a lot of power to punish heretics.

Emperor Flor's boasting began the church's great purge of the land under its control.

One hundred thousand gold coins are of no help to the North Wind Province. Even when it came to the North Wind Province, only half of the one hundred thousand gold coins were left. Fifty thousand gold coins fell into the hands of the North Wind Marquis, and there was no news about the woman on Thunder Cloud Mountain.

"The emperor still doesn't want the North Wind Province to be the only flaw in his political achievements."

Shaya laughed coldly. She didn't have much goodwill towards Columbus III.

"It's normal for him to want to be a perfect emperor. Aren't we helping His Majesty solve the troubles of the North Wind Province?"

Beside him, Chrysus Meyers said. He looked at the Marquis of the North Wind, and the baby in the swaddling clothes frowned a little.

"Has His Highness Freud still not replied to you?"

"Uncle, it's impolite for you to mention him again."

Shaya looked at Chrysus with murderous intent. The emperor elect that the Meyers family originally wanted to choose for cooperation was not Volvo, but another one, the father of the Marquis of the North Wind, Shaya's first man.

"Although we chose His Royal Highness Volvo, our relationship with the royal family will not become hostile because of this. You must understand this, Shaya."

"You'd better go and tell the Grand Duke this."

Shaya snorted coldly and ignored Chrysostom.

This granddaughter who gave the Grand Duke a headache, surprisingly, no one in the Meyers family could control her.

Chrysos could only change the subject.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Empire and the Church will start a new war. There is no threat from orcs in the north. This time, His Majesty the Emperor will make a big move. Moreover, he must protect the nobles who surrendered to the Empire and prevent them from being killed by the fanatics of the Church."

"Otherwise, the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor will become a joke."

"To do this, His Majesty the Emperor will need the power of the nobles. I have to go back to the south to stop Earl Clayton from becoming the fifth Grand Duke of the Empire."

"What does this have to do with Earl Clayton?"

Shaya said puzzledly:

"If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty the Emperor will release Aatrox. Earl Clayton's eldest son was imprisoned in the dungeon for killing the last Holy Son of the Church. Now His Majesty the Emperor has two identities as the Emperor and the Grand Pope. His power is nominally higher than that of the Pope."

"He is qualified to release that guy in exchange for Earl Clayton's support for this matter."

"The political struggle in the south is much more complicated than that in the North Wind Province."

Shaya still doesn't understand. Earl Clayton's family is not that powerful. Even if it is powerful, it is not the entire Earl family.

"Why can Earl Clayton become the fifth Grand Duke? Even if he becomes a demigod, he is not qualified."

"You overlooked the most crucial thing."

Chrysus shook his head and said:

"Earl Clayton may be qualified to become the fifth Grand Duke not because of how powerful he is, but because of Earl Clayton's bloodline, which can give birth."

Being able to give birth, a topic that has nothing to do with transcendence, is Earl Clayton's biggest bargaining chip.

"But don't worry, he won't succeed. The emergence of the fifth Grand Duke of the Empire is not something that His Majesty the Emperor can decide alone."

"We just need to be more vigilant, and Earl Clayton will have no chance."

"But after I leave... I'm worried about this land."

Chrysus said that as the heir of the Meyers family, he inevitably needs to return to the south to participate in the terrible political vortex there, but his departure will leave a vacuum of voice in this land.

"Baron Ryan, I'm very worried about him. Once I leave, the nobles of the North Wind Province will quickly turn against me."

"Is he so powerful?"

Shaya frowned, a little unbelieving.

"Shaya, don't forget that you were the first to tell us about Baron Ryan's ability in the North Wind Province. Don't underestimate him."

The heir of the Grand Duke always has the best growth path among the nobles. Even if he is a pig, he has more wisdom and sharp eyes than many nobles.

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen this frozen earth baron for almost four months. I don't know what he is doing."

"The frozen earth territory will be covered with snow for six to eight months a year. What else can he do?"

Shaya said this. After coming to the North Wind Province, he also had an understanding of the territories of the nobles here, in order to help his son gain power in the future.

"No matter what he wants to do, I want to win over the nobles of the North Wind Province and stabilize Meyers' power here."

Chrysus said, Shaya did not refute, because this purpose is the same as her interests.

"Beifeng Province had a lot of nobles before. I plan to let Meyers marry the nobles here."

"I thought about it for two days. This advantage is something that Baron Ryan absolutely cannot have. He has no offspring now, so he can't snatch these marriage qualifications at all."

As a grand duke family, the Meyers family has thousands of blood descendants.

"The nobles of Beifeng Province need to marry the nobles of the south. Meyers gives them this opportunity. As long as they marry once, Meyers will not lose control of Beifeng Province in the next few decades."

"Baron Ryan can't win."

Chrysus said this with deep eyes. He did cut off the firewood before leaving.

Aristocratic marriage is always the most direct, fastest and most stable way of interest alliance.

After Chrysus made his decision, he left Beifeng Province the next day. The actions of the emperor and the pope forced the grand duke's heir to return to the south as soon as possible.

On the day he left, Master Ryan, who had not left the Frozen Territory to enter the North Wind Province for several months, also went to Zero Crossing City for the first time in the spring of the new year.

"Xilin Dragon, you must know the responsibility you bear."

"And now, you have one more rule that cannot be shirked."

Ryan said to the young man, who was the heir and eldest son of Viscount Dragon.

That is, the future successor of Viscount Dragon.

Xilin knelt on one knee in front of Ryan and took Frostmourne.

"Lord Baron Ryan, perhaps you don't know that because of my father, my younger brother, the second son of the Viscount, also has greedy ambitions to become a Viscount."

Xilin said calmly, as if he was not angry about it.

"He is very talented. If he can do it, I can allow him to become Viscount Dragon for a while, but if he can't bear the responsibility of being a Viscount, then I will take back everything that belongs to me."

"I will pursue powerful strength, and I also believe that I can do it, and after getting your support, I am 100% sure."

"The Dragon family will not betray you."

"I believe you, Xilin. I think we will fight side by side one day in the future."

Lian patted the young man who was almost the same age as him and watched him enter the North alone.

Lian left the frozen land and started from Zero Crossing City to visit the nobles in the new year.

Baron Hatton has been a little melancholy recently, because Lian En always wanted to lead the adventure group to do something big. Viscount Miles has become much rounder in the new year. Ryan even saw the half-dressed catwoman in his mansion. Baron Enzo has left and served in the Wing Canyon as the right-hand man of Commander Farrell, learning precious knowledge...

The nobles of Tieshan County finally caught their breath in recuperation. They finally survived the disaster brought by the war and were not completely defeated.

"It's time to visit Earl Sauron."
