Throne of the North

Ryan's answer surprised Earl Clayton.

He had never taken care of his children and didn't know much about Ryan. He only knew that he was ordinary in the imperial capital, but Ryan's sharpness at this moment surprised and delighted him.

He nodded.

"After returning this time, I shouldn't have to go to the North for a long time. A lot of orcs have been slaughtered in recent years. In a short period of time, they dare not approach the imperial fortress."

Clayton told Ryan one thing, that is, the empire has always had an advantage in the face of the invasion of orcs in the north.

This is why the North Wind Province has always been proposed, because under the great advantage of the empire, the North Wind Province is like mud and can't be helped up, which is very embarrassing for the empire.

"In addition, this God's Grace Festival also represents the power dispute between the empire and the Church. The empire wants to strive for more interests and allies."

"The Lordship System was born for this reason."

"You will go to the imperial capital with me at that time. Many noble representatives will go to the imperial capital during this year's God's Grace Festival."

This is of course a good thing for Ryan.

Because the biggest source of income for the nobles who separated from the family, in addition to the land economy, is the trade with the family after the separation.

Because of the blood relationship, this first trade was born between father and son. According to the scale of the Clayton family, the resources of the frozen land can be traded with the Clayton family, so that Ryan's frozen land can have the first pot of gold to develop the territory.

Often, the Clayton family can collect all the resources from the frozen land and give financial support to the frozen land with a slightly premium.

Then there is the problem. After two or three generations, the Clayton family will consider that the interest relationship will be greater than the relationship between relatives, and thus choose not to accept the broken copper and iron of the frozen land.

At that time, the frozen land, which already has the first pot of gold, the second pot of gold..., naturally has the conditions to trade with other nobles.

This is the original model, but Ryan, who has the gate of the plane, does not need to do this at all, and the specialty he brings is no longer broken copper and iron.

Of course, the specialties he brought as a gift this time must be sold at a good price, and the Clayton family will also benefit from it, not just to make some money and maintain Ryan's first pot of gold in this way.

That is a specialty from another world, and a unique thing must be sold at a high price within the empire.

Of course, it does not mean that Ryan is equal to Clayton. The most important point is that his things are sold to the Clayton family, and then the Clayton family sells them to the empire or even the south, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

At present, Ryan does not have the qualifications to form a chamber of commerce and not be exploited.

The frozen land territory will have to develop for at least three to five years before other nobles dare not easily exploit passing caravans.

In this castle of the flame dragon, Ryan saw the gap between the baron territory and the territory of the powerful nobles.

He also saw once again the way the descendants of the Clayton family communicated.

It's very simple, fighting.

As a family of earls who reshape their bloodline, this Earl Clayton is particularly powerful, with many children and boiling blood. The sixteen-year-old ban has caused them to vent in other directions.

Fighting has become a good way, and even Earl Clayton is very satisfied with this natural decision.

However, the older ones are much stronger than the younger ones after all, just like dragons. The longer the dragons live, the stronger they are.

As a nobleman, Ryan can no longer participate in it. At this moment, he is with his mother, watching the brawl below from the window of the castle.

The Clayton family has several magician teams, and as long as they are only injured, they can be rescued.

For example, Ryan's mother, Kerami, is a powerful life magician, but he doesn't know how strong his mother is.

"Your brother Kelsey already has his own territory and has become a baron. Unfortunately, he can't come back for this year's God's Grace Festival."

Kerami pulled Ryan and talked a lot, and also mentioned her first child.

Currently, among the descendants of the Clayton family, three have already obtained titles, one is Ryan, one is Kelsey, and the other is their second brother.

Even the third brother Kaz can only become a lord.

As for the eldest, he is naturally the future Earl of Clayton.

But Ryan feels that the eldest may stay in this position for a long time.

Earl Clayton, who returned from the North, seems to be even more powerful.

Finally, of course, Kurami can't help but mention Ryan's marriage.

"You are an adult. Sister Ellie and I have discussed and selected three viscount families and seventeen baron families for you. I hope to choose a suitable wife for you among them."

If there is no title, Ryan's wife is probably the daughter of a baron except the first one, and the daughter of a viscount, or if he is lucky, the earl's family.

But Ryan is a baron, even if the lord of the territory such as the Frozen Territory of the Northern Wind Province, which no one in the south wants, is also a baron, so according to the specifications, it is different.

His wife could be the only daughter of a baron, or the beloved daughter of a viscount or even an earl. But the latter condition was that the daughter's talent was not that outstanding.

Because if a viscount, or even a count's daughter, is excellent in addition to her family background, then the person she chooses cannot be a baron, but the heir of a noble family, or the royal family.

Especially if there is only one daughter, it is even more so.

The essence of marriage is political, economic, and even military cooperation.

It is inevitable to be well-matched.

Although Ryan does not reject this aspect, he also hopes to find someone he is satisfied with.

He smiled and said:

"Mother, why don't you pick more and let me choose by myself."

Krammi looked at Ryan and laughed.

"You are more picky than your father."

"Don't you think about it? Your territory is in the North Wind Province. How many girls are willing to follow you there?"

"My territory is still good."

"Of course I believe you have the ability to manage a territory, but you have to make others believe it."

"The northern border is very cold."

Krammi tightened her cloak. Winter is coming, and even the land in the south can feel it.

She was not in a hurry, and Ryan was not in a hurry either. After all, there was still time. It would take about a year for both sides to make a final decision on such matters.

"This time you will follow your father to the imperial capital. If you meet someone suitable but don't have the courage, you might as well come and tell me."

The weight of Countess Clayton is still very high.
