Throne of the North

Longshan City.

The only one in the entire Beifeng Province, Longshan City is the hereditary fiefdom of Earl Sauron. Cities built on mountains are very common in this world. After all, humans always need such a sense of security to fight against this extraordinary world. Most disasters.

After the death of Earl Weiss and the decline of the Earl's bloodline, Earl Sauron became the only ancient noble family in this land that has always been passed down.

The Earl Winter family is not counted, they came north from the south.

Only Earl Sauron was located here before Archduke Meyers occupied the North Wind Province. He even had an older history and was a senatorial noble of the Kingdom of Northern Gal.

"There are many ancient bloodlines in this land, but now, it seems that only Sauron is left."

Faced with Ryan's visit, Earl Sauron warmly entertained him. When he heard Ryan ask about the history of Beifeng, Earl Sauron couldn't help but fall into memories no matter how old-hearted he was.

"The North has submerged everything, and the former glory of the Norris continent is buried under the wind and snow. When we people die, no one will be able to remember the once dazzling figures."

After hearing this, Ryan couldn't help laughing.

"Living in the old world and the new era at the same time is also a precious life process. Maybe I can arrange some bards to help you describe the world before the snowstorm."

"I have never thought that my story might make those bards unable to sleep for three days and three nights."

"The bard would be immensely grateful for your generosity."

The pan-dimensional war of gods and the struggle between royal power and divine power are the most painful and incomprehensible generation gap for these long-lived nobles.

Earl Sauron was also confused, that is, before the arrival of the Grand Duke of the Empire more than thirty years ago.

The Northwind Province at that time was no different from what it had been for more than a hundred years, and it was precisely because of this that Earl Sauron felt confused.

He clearly felt that the world had changed and undergone tremendous changes, but Beifeng Province was like an old snail, always staying in the same place.

He wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do or what to do.

Later, the Nightmare Legion became the nightmare of the entire North Wind. Count Sauron thought for a long time about what he could do. He simply joined the Empire, a big car that was rising in the new world.

For more than thirty years, Earl Sauron is still the same as before. He does not know what to do or what he can do. He drifts with the flow and passively advances with the progress of the times. Earl Sauron, like most nobles, follows in confusion.

Over the past thirty years, the Earl Sauron family has not changed much, but if the timeline is drawn on a thirty-year scale, no matter how subtle the changes are, for an old man like Earl Sauron, they are very conspicuous. of.

"In the past, let alone those mud-legged people, even as a noble, it was very rare to see practitioners of extraordinary paths. At that time, whether they were ascetic knights, magicians, or alchemists, , are very mysterious existences, and nobles often need to send a large number of manpower to find them, and then meet them through invitation. "

"At that time, we had to avoid the priests of the Holy See of Dawn. If it weren't for the priests who could bribe them, the nobles would be under tremendous pressure when they met a magician."

"I have seen with my own eyes that more than a dozen nobles were punished by the Holy See for having private contact with magicians or even becoming magic apprentices."

"At that time, the Knights Templar were the nobles' worst nightmare."

"Knights Templar?"

Ryan was surprised. If he remembered correctly, the Templars, now one of the six most powerful extraordinary legions in the Flor Empire, were controlled by the royal family.

"Yes, the Holy See had great power in the empire at that time. The Knights Templar were used to supervise and suppress the empire and surrounding nobles. In the war between the empire and the Holy See, they gained a lot of power with the help of magicians in the early stages. The advantage is because I don’t know when the Knights Templar no longer belong to the Holy See and were instigated by the Empire. "

Earl Sauron said this, but he was not too shocked.

"The Holy See uses the Knights Templar to supervise the nobility, but the knights of the Knights Templar are all nobles."

This is not surprising.

"The Dragon Blood Warrior Legion was established during this process. The bishops of the Holy Mountain still believe that the Knights Templar belong to them, but in fact, the Knights Templar no longer care about what the nobles do, and even provide cover for it. ”

"The clergy of the Holy See have long been corrupted. Some of them are addicted to the desire for power. The nobles provide them with a large number of slaves, women and men for their entertainment, so that these priests and pastors of the Holy See are not even willing to leave the church. Take a step outside.”

"The other part died on the missionary road with the help of the nobles. In the days after the Pandimensional War of Gods, civilians and slaves even grabbed the soil and mixed it with leaves as food. The Holy See distributed bread and How can they become believers in the morning sun when they can’t see the eggs at all?”

War wealth is always the original first pot of gold for nobles. In the war between the gods and the pan-plane, too many nobles disappeared from history, but those who seized the opportunity soared into the sky, making what was once a rare opportunity a reality. The extraordinary people he met became his followers.

Even after the blasphemous turning point, he began to establish his own bloodline system, the Extraordinary Legion.

"The Dragon Blood Warrior Legion was established together with the Grand Duke of Beifeng. At that time, Beifeng Province made a desperate move and stole the source of divinity with the help of a certain legendary magician."

"Except for the Holy See, all the extraordinary legions come from this way."

Count Sauron did not want to hide anything in this regard. After all, Ryan came from the Clayton family, and Ryan now had his own extraordinary army. Count Sauron did not believe that Ryan had not obtained the divine origin through some means and used it.

Spiritual blessings... are indeed not something ordinary people can have.

"The nobles are driving high and low, immersed in the joy of the birth of the original extraordinary legion, but they have forgotten... they cannot afford it."

"A baron has a population of only one or two thousand in his territory, a viscount has a population of twenty to thirty thousand, and the population of an earl's territory can hardly exceed one hundred thousand."

"With a population of 100,000, there are only 1,000 people drawn out of 100, but their growth requires ten families and more than 50 people to support them."

"The wealth produced by ten families can support a knight of the Extraordinary Legion. This is only the beginning. The more powerful the family is, the greater the number of families that need to support them."

"The nobles will also be unable to bear it, and the wealth of the great nobles will continue to decrease, until the wealth accumulated over several generations is squandered, and the extraordinary army collapses."

"The nobles are back where they started."

Count Sauron said with a sigh. Ryan and he talked about the extraordinary army, which also made Count Sauron gradually unable to do what he wanted.

His Dragon Blood Warrior Legion is also heading towards this step.

Can't afford it.

"After the Divine Panplane War, the discovery of alien planes is no longer a legendary thing. The population, resources, and wealth have been replenished. The nobles finally recovered from the failure of the extraordinary army. Some nobles gave up completely, and some nobles gave up completely. Barely holding on."

"Because the empire is powerful enough, extraordinary legions are not uncommon. However, there are not many extraordinary legions outside the empire. It was at this time that they began to disappear."

Ryan nodded, both the Kingdom of Andara and the Kingdom of Serra were like this. The combined extraordinary legions of the two kingdoms... now only have three or four left.

They are all going downhill because they cannot maintain such a powerful extraordinary legion for dozens or hundreds of years.

Just like Ryan, without spiritual supplements, he would not be able to maintain the extraordinary legion forever.

The Extraordinary Legion is very important. Between divine power and royal power, the dividing line between cannon fodder and the Extraordinary Legion is the dividing line.

As for Count Sauron's Dragon-Blooded Warrior Legion, after experiencing several years of high-intensity wars, it has been unable to obtain fresh blood. The number of knights his Dragon-Blooded Warrior Legion can replenish every year will not exceed fifty.

You must know that the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion at its peak numbered 5,000 people.

Five thousand heavy infantry. The word "heavy" can be explained because Beifeng Province has a large amount of iron ore, but five thousand infantry that can withstand heavy armor requires a huge amount of resources.

Looting the wealth of other worlds at all costs allowed Count Sauron to maintain this extraordinary army.

Now that not many other worlds have been discovered, the threat of the orcs in the north has gone away, and the former competitor Earl Winter has also suffered heavy losses. The North Wind Province is far away from the war, and Earl Sauron finally feels that he is unable to do what he wants.

"War is only a short-lived thing. One day in the future, perhaps decades later, mankind will still face threats."

“Once we have it, we can’t give it up.”

Ryan said this, Count Sauron looked at Ryan and laughed.

"You are talking about me. When I was as young as you, I wanted to inherit the Northern Gal family and become the king. At that time, my ambition was greater than yours."

"Of course I understand what you said, but..."

In the middle of speaking, Count Sauron stared at a crystal test tube that Ryan took out, looking at the liquid that was rippling like a gemstone.

He was so familiar.

He raised his head and looked at Ryan with wide eyes.

"Dragon blood?"

Dragon's blood, a very brilliant description.

In the ancient legends passed down by mankind, the Dragon Quest, there are many stories below the story at the top of the pyramid, such as the wandering noble heir who returned to the family to regain his title, the king's daughter who eloped with a baron's heir, and was eventually killed. Kill, and then their child the king returns...

These stories are all part of the huge epic of human civilization, and among them, almost all stories are indispensable for one word.

That is bathing in dragon blood and becoming powerful.

The brave man bathed in the dragon's blood and gained great strength to defeat the evil dragon. The wandering child bathed in the dragon's blood and led the army to defeat his father. The illegitimate child bathed in the dragon's blood and became a dragon knight and inherited the power of the kingdom.

All these represent an integral part of dragon blood in human civilization.

Mortals can become stronger by bathing in dragon blood.

In the world before the Pan-Plane War of Gods, such topics were not uncommon, and even after the Pan-Plane War of Gods, that is, for more than a hundred years, dragon blood is still one of the most precious resources.

Giant dragons are rare, and their blood is even more valuable.

"You actually have dragon blood."

Count Sauron naturally believed that it was Count Clayton's help. After all, there was only one dragon knight in the empire, and there was only one frost dragon in Beifeng Province. Both dragons were related to Ryan.

The Flame Dragon was his father's mount. The Frost Dragon once took Ryan to the Kingdom of Andara, and the Chamber of Commerce brought this news back.

However, Count Sauron didn't understand how the dragon could give Ryan his blood because it was so proud and violent.

"I have a lot."

Ryan opened the crystal test tube and poured it into his mouth. I have to say that after drinking so many delicious drinks, there is no such thing as the sweetness and deliciousness of dragon blood, which makes the blood and pores all over his body, and even his soul. All intoxicated.

Dragon blood is not bloody, on the contrary, it is full of the purest sweetness in the world.

In this extraordinary world, there are similar descriptions.

Nectar of God.

Of course, the power of this god's nectar is violent, but Ryan's body is too powerful, so powerful that in his mouth, the dragon's blood is just a delicious drink.

The scene of Ryan's incomparable waste made Count Sauron extremely jealous.

The rapid rise and fall of his chest showed the turmoil in the earl's heart.

He had talked so much with Ryan before, and said so many frustrating words, but if he had a choice, which noble would be willing to let the extraordinary legion disappear in his own hands? If he could maintain it, he would lose everything to maintain it, and even think about it. Ways to expand, expand!

It's all nonsense that the Earl is old and Sauron is old, in the face of sufficient resources. The Earl Sauron who has lived from the old era to the present is a good age to start a business!

After a long time, the nobleman finally calmed down his heart.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, he failed to maintain the etiquette of the nobles.

At this moment, of course he understood that Ryan was not here to chat with him.

Taking a deep breath, Count Sauron's heartbeat was still a little violent.

"It seems that your ambition is similar to mine, but you may have arrived a little late."

Ryan looked at Count Sauron in surprise, and saw the latter continuing:

"Before you came, Meyers's Crouses agreed with the nobles of the North Wind Province. If appropriate, the Meyers family will marry the nobles of the North Wind Province."

"You should know very well that the forest world on Leiyun Mountain has a lifespan of one or two years at most. The nobles need to consider the future after the forest world disappears. In addition, the Meyers family is the best in all aspects. By choosing, we can finally enter the aristocratic circle in the south."

"If you take out this thing, Zoro will stand on your side and not marry with the Meyers family."

"But I can't stop the other nobles."

It's a new year, and the life of the forest world is coming closer to its end. The war is over, and Beifeng will no longer face all-round threats from the orcs.

Just like the emperor, after the war, the focus was on the confrontation with the Holy See in the south.

The same goes for the nobles of Beifeng. They have worked hard in the past few years to integrate into the south and into the noble circle of the entire empire, thereby expanding the network they have weaved and increasing the glory and influence of their surnames.

To be simple and direct, in order to open up new heights of territory.

Opportunities are now readily available.

Resources, interests, and politics are all particularly unfavorable to Ryan.

Chrysos pulled out all the stops and defeated Ryan's army.

Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Meyers to have this skill, which really made him feel a little tricky.

Of the five large nets that enveloped Ryan, the first one to be untied was the two kingdoms in the east. Now this second large net, the North Wind Province, has also presented new problems.

but……

"I'm not here for other nobles. Lord Sauron, you are more important to me than anything else."

Ryan said with a smile. Looking at his still confident face, Count Sauron was also at a loss.

But looking at the dragon blood that Ryan took out again, Count Sauron gradually felt at ease.

Even Count Sauron was moved by the conditions given by Chrysos, but didn't he still choose to give up the marriage now?

Maybe Ryan has a better idea.

"I heard that dragon blood will emit the brilliance of gems when exposed to the sun."

Ryan raised his hand and looked at the sunlight reflected by the rippling dragon's blood, what a perfect color.

Marriage is indeed an advantage that Ryan cannot have. He is the master of the Ryan family, not the Clayton family. Even if Clayton's bloodline is married to the nobles of Northwind Province, it does not belong to him, Ryan.

If Ryan can't run on this track, he won't be able to get married even if he decides to marry her.

But he also has advantages that Meyers doesn’t have either.

The Meyers family's advantage is in the south, and Lane's advantage is in the north.

"The vast land in the north is never short of wealth."

"Only the most heroic adventurers can obtain precious wealth from there."

"Everything you wish for can be obtained under that wind and snow!"

"The dragon has destroyed the earth. Ancient treasures are buried in the collapsed caves. We sincerely invite adventurers to join us and enter the North together to find countless gold!"

In the new year, Lingdu City is so lively. Thanks to Ryan's efforts last year, the nobles have more or less reserved their spots as adventurers.
