Throne of the North

After saying goodbye to Avril, Ryan visited Archmage McKen again and informed him of his departure time.

Finally, he returned to the Clayton family's mansion and told the Countess the result.

"Now that it's confirmed, Kurami will be relieved."

The Countess smiled at Ryan and said:

"Your father will write to Archmage Adele of the Magic Academy. Avril will practice in the Mage Tower of the Sanctuary Mage named 'Peacock' until your marriage begins."

When she mentioned that name, the Countess couldn't help but glance at Earl Clayton next to her, and her eyes seemed to contain pride.

"Adele's rainbow magic gave her legendary power when she was in the Sanctuary. If your fiancée can learn one-seventh of the rainbow magic, she may become an Archmage or Sanctuary in the future."

Earl Clayton spoke to Ryan calmly, as if he didn't see the Countess's expression.

"At the same time, the Melendez family will have the qualification to purchase some potions from the Clayton family mage group. With their wealth, they should be able to train more extraordinary knights."

"Under this deal, Melendez's support for your territory should not be too little. Just tell them directly if you need anything."

"Thank you, father."

Ryan saluted and said. Born in the Clayton family, he finally felt the benefits of being in the southern noble circle.

However, this may also be because the Clayton family is expanding and needs some support for the nobles who are descendants of the Clayton family.

If the bloodline of the Clayton family can be spread throughout the empire and even the southern empire like the Hoover family in the future, then the Clayton family will be either a grand duke or a grand duke.

For now, the Clayton family's foundation is not as good as those ancient families. Now that the Earl Clayton has reached his peak, it is natural to move towards a solid foundation.

Ryan can be sure that the father's next plan is to seek a better future for his brothers and sisters, a fiefdom, a title, until the name of the Clayton family spreads all over the world.

If it was before, Ryan could not understand the political struggle between the nobles in the south of the empire, and he dared not say whether Earl Clayton's plan would succeed.

But now, because of a cardinal in the Holy See, the reputation of Columbus III and the royal family has suffered a huge blow, and this is an opportunity.

"We have to go back quickly."

Ryan does not care about the disputes between the empire and the Holy See. With the arrival of the new year, the development of his territory is the top priority.

This year's mission is much more serious than last year.

Starting from the imperial capital, Ryan's team is much larger.

In addition to a hundred soldiers and Brand and others, there are forty more carriages. Viscount Melendez can't figure out why Ryan only wants food.

Although food is precious, it is not of high value.

However, when Ryan expressed his desire to reach a long-term food transaction with Melendez, he was rejected because the Melendez family did not have a chamber of commerce. If they transported food to the north, they would need to take care of too many places and consume too much.

After all, that river leads to the west coast, not to the north.

Only those big chambers of commerce have this kind of access.

"Master Yelena? Are you going with me?"

When Ryan received the call from Master McKen, he was also a little surprised, because in addition to the master, there were five magicians following him.

But he was not surprised. Following a master was much easier than practicing hard by himself. Many times, a word of advice from the master could save the magician several years of hard practice.

This is what is called a good teacher produces good students.

These magicians obviously recognized the knowledge of Master McKen in magic.

But what was a little shabby was that, including Master McKen, these magicians could only gather three carriages.

Ryan smiled knowingly and said to Master McKen:

"You will not be disappointed."

He believed that the huge herd of wild horses in Swadifar could make Master McKen forget all the money and interests.

Ryan personally sent the great wizard McKen to his magic carriage. He gave the great wizard enough respect. He was courteous to the wise and humble. This was all.

"No wonder the emperor's uncle was able to gather so many talented people in the early stage just by relying on this."

Ryan couldn't help laughing as he felt the changes in the senses of the great wizard McKen and the eyes of the people around him.

He had a long history of being his teacher.

"Mr. Shawkat, your soldiers need my help in preparing food."

Ryan looked to the other side. A middle-aged silver knight was riding on a warhorse, and there were 20 soldiers around him. These were people from the Melendez family who were responsible for helping to escort food and go to the frozen land. In addition to them, there were hundreds of slaves responsible for the 40 carriages.

"Thank you, Baron Ryan. We have prepared food for half a month."

Shaukat Melendez is the younger brother of Viscount Melendez. The Viscount family also attaches great importance to the marriage between the two nobles, because it means that the Melendez family in Calais Province has completely stepped onto the chariot of the Clayton family.

They are also gambling. For now, they are only gambling on the Earl of Clayton's family, and their eyes are not on a baron in the north.

It can only be said that when Earl Clayton led 30,000 Flame Dragon Knights to the North to slaughter the mammoth tribe, there was a rumor that he might become the fifth Grand Duke, which still had a huge impact on the empire, especially the nobles in the Calais Province.

Calais Province, after returning here again, Ryan's team has grown again, mainly because he got 20 carriages of food from the Clayton family again. The earl and the earl's wife have not returned yet. Ryan's biological mother, Kurami, has great power in the earl's territory. Others can only pretend not to see the 20 carriages of food.

Ryan also saw Master Knox, who seemed to be very unwilling to see Brock leave.

"If his skills can't improve, Master Ryan, remember to bring him to me!"

The master said resentfully, as if he was afraid that Brock, a craftsman with supreme talent, would fall into the arms of others.

Ryan waved his hand, meaning that Brock's skills would definitely not stagnate, and he didn't know if the master understood it.

Memory stagnation? Do you really think Ryan's horse spirit blessing is vegetarian?

When Ryan came to Volga Province again, he couldn't help but visit some nobles when he passed by their territories. His purpose was self-evident. He wanted to see if he could buy food from them to enter the North.

The results were all failures without exception.
