Throne of the North

"Two hundred thousand gold coins, three thousand sets of weapons, armor and spears, plus fifteen bottles of gold potion."

Lord Hora looked at Ryan and said:

"This is the condition given by the Countess. She asked me to tell Baron Ryan that this is the only condition."

Ryan had a toothache.

It seems that the Earl's family is not all fools. The war is coming, and winter is coming. The pressure of food cannot be measured by gold coins. The Earl's family is big and he is unwilling to give any food.

"In this case, the righteous Earl Winter will definitely defeat the evil Earl Weiss."

Ryan stretched out his hand and said in a young tone.

"Your choice is correct."

Hora also stretched out his palm. At this moment, he felt more like a nobleman.

Ryan once again felt the power of space magic. Looking at the piles of gold coins appearing in front of him from the space teleportation array, Ryan couldn't wait to whip Master Luna.

"Master Luna, look at these golden potions, can you make them?"

Lian appeared in front of Master Luna with a crystal container in his hand. While looking at Master Luna, he also swayed the blood-red liquid in the crystal container.

Even he could feel the powerful vitality contained in it, let alone Master Luna.

The golem puppet lady directly took the golden potion and stared at the liquid in it intoxicatedly.

"This is not made by the lady of the Holy Domain Mage. If you want to make a life potion, you must first master life magic. Space magic itself is a road with no end. She will not have time to study life magic."

"There is also a powerful life magician beside the other party."

"At least a great mage, and it is very likely to be a great mage."

Ryan did not expect that there were so many tricks among the magicians, and could not help asking:

"What kind of magic do you practice, Mage Luna?"

"I majored in puppet magic. This golem puppet was made by me. Later, when I could not see the direction, I began to practice life magic. Using my own knowledge, I was reborn in the puppet after failing to break through the great mage."

"But if you want me to help you make a life potion, I can't do it anymore."

The tall Mage Luna stretched out his arm.

"Life potions are delicate magic methods. I can't do that level with my current appearance."

Then, the quasi-mage also told Ryan a little bit of his demands.

"Can you help me find some soul magic research manuals? If I can master the soul magic training system, I can successfully become a great wizard and help you refine life potions."

"I'll find a way."

Ryan nodded and did not refuse.

Because his territory really needs the power of magicians, this matter also involves the struggle between theocracy and imperial power. In the past, every noble territory would be equipped with priests of the Church.

Now the nobles can only find a way to replace it.

Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly remembered the gift he gave to Master Luna before.

"Mage Luna, how did you study the bodies of the barbarians?"

Mage Luna said somewhat disappointedly:

"It's still the same problem. I can't do too detailed research. I have already hammered those barbarians into fertilizer and your steward buried them under the ground."

"But I'm beginning to see something."

"The one next to Earl Weiss should not be a magician, but a warlock."

"Alchemist, evil alchemist."

"Life magicians regard the transformation of flesh and blood as taboo, but some alchemists don't have such a problem. Their methods themselves are against Blood is transformed. "

"Warlocks and alchemists are different, Ryan, you have to be careful of the enemy this time. Warlocks have natural power, but most alchemists are monsters that have been mutated by stealing and experimenting with weak warlock blood."

"For their own research and warlock spells, they can even trade with demons."

"After Luna Mage felt the terrifying aura of the Countess before, she began to worry about Ryan's safety. She was very afraid that Ryan would die on the battlefield. At that time, she would be a wild golem puppet without the protection of nobles in this world, and the most special one.

Even...

"Ryan, you should have a baby quickly."

The beginning of the war is not a simple matter. The first thing Ryan has to do is to call all the nobles of Lingdu County to discuss.

"Baron Ryan, you should not accept Earl Winter's invitation privately. We can completely not participate in this war."

In the whole hall, Christian's voice was the loudest. When Ryan looked over, the movement in the hall became quiet.

"Lord Viscount Miles, do you think my decision is wrong?"

Christan looked at Ryan and wanted to say something, but quickly suppressed his emotions and said kindly:

"Ryan, what I want to say is that our Lingdu County no longer has the strength to start a war."

Ryan nodded, then looked around at everyone and said:

"War will not reject us just because we refuse."

"Lingdu County has never had the power to be alone. If we don't participate, then after the war is over, no matter who wins, Lingdu County will pay a large sum of gold coins, and those gold coins will be taken out of your pockets. go."

"That's impossible."

Baron Barnes spoke out. As a baron in Lingdu County who was not Lane's direct opponent, he was not as afraid of Lane's military talent as other barons.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Ryan looked at Barnes and said slowly:

"Don't forget what the nobles of Beifeng Province need to do at the end of this year."

"The empire's tax revenue of 1.5 million gold coins is a huge amount. You don't really think that this matter is based on what was discussed in Beifeng City before, and whoever pays the amount can pay it, right? "

"What I said at that time was five hundred gold coins. Now I only offer five hundred gold coins. Will you be willing?"

This is of course impossible. In the past, everyone thought that the Tundra Territory was a poor place with no money, but now that Ryan has gained so much wealth, with only five hundred, let alone the nobles outside, the nobles inside Lingdu County would rebel.

"So, the original discussion was just casual talk?"

Baron Hatton's eyes widened. He had been preparing for this for the past few months, but now he was told that who would pay how much was not counted.

"If there was no war, of course you can't just talk about it casually, but after the war, nothing will be the same."

Ryan looked at everyone and his voice gradually became louder.

"The losers of the war will bear most of the taxes, while the winners will enjoy the excess wealth."

"This is not the wealth given by Earl Winter, but the wealth we can earn during the war itself."

"I will lead the army of Lingdu County into the battle. Do you think I will fail?"
