Throne of the North

"This is...your territory?"

After trekking over mountains and ridges, he saw with his own eyes that the world around him was becoming more and more desolate. Archmage McCann, who had endured it all the way, finally stood on the cliff and looked at the frozen soil territory in front of him in shock.

The flying snow in the sky submerged the entire earth and covered it with snow, but in the middle of this white snow, there was a boiling and colorful world.

Looking down from their position, the entire tundra territory is scattered in an orderly manner, close to the exquisite stone houses at the foot of Rhinoceros Horn Mountain. Each stone house is like a fortress manor. The streets are criss-crossed without any mess, and each street is very wide. , they can clearly see the pedestrians walking above from hundreds of meters away.

Even the wooden house has two floors, and every area has one or two tall buildings, attracting dozens and hundreds of people.

At the same time, looking down from a high position, the entire town, no, it was just a city without walls, it was so big and scary.

This is simply like a paradise, far away from the noble territories of Beifeng Province, but it has developed very well on its own.

At this moment, Archmage McCann, Shawkat and others finally understood why Ryan wanted nothing but food when he went to the south.

With such a large population, it would be really troublesome if there was not enough food.

"This is the Tundra Territory, Archmage McCann, I told you you won't be disappointed."

After saying that, Ryan looked at Shawkat.

"Mr. Shawkat, I think the Melendez family will not be disappointed."

Shawkat was stunned. Yes, how could such a territory be disappointed even in the north? This territory is no worse than the territory of the viscount nobles.

He remembered that this Ryan Clayton had been in the North for less than two years, right?

At this moment, what he was thinking about was not the Tundra Territory, but the Viscount Melendez family.

Avril is just the youngest daughter of a viscount. Strictly speaking, if Ryan has such territory and strength, there is no problem marrying the eldest daughter of a viscount, or even the daughter of an earl. No, it should be said that Ryan, who has such territory, can already Avoid a lot of well-matched remarks.

Ryan looked at Shawkat's expression and seemed to notice something. He waved his hand and said:

"Although I only got along with Miss Avril for half a day, I have been deeply attracted by Miss Avril's virtuousness."

What a joke, there are so many secrets in the Tundra Territory, and Ryan really doesn’t want to marry an ancestor. What will happen when the nobles behind the other party take a fancy to the northern territory he developed? As an in-law, if Ryan refuses directly, he will lose a lot of reputation in the aristocratic circle.

Avril is very good. Her family background is Viscount Melendez, a noble from the Calais province. At the same time, her identity is not that important. In the future, she can wholeheartedly assist the development of his tundra territory.

"I'm sorry, Baron Lane. I will ask the Viscount to make some compensation to you after I return."

Shawkat obviously still feels that Ryan has suffered a loss in this marriage.

If two families get married and one party suffers a loss, it will not be a good thing for both parties. Melendez must make up for it.

Soon, Ryan appeared at the foot of Rhinohorn Mountain.

"Mr. Ryan, you are back."

The Viscountess came to Ryan respectfully, her tight-fitting cheongsam-like dress rounding out the front and back of her body.

Shawkat looked at the Viscountess in surprise.

"Are you a noble?"

Nobles are different from ordinary people, because the language, temperament, tone, and even the subtle movements and behaviors cultivated from childhood are very different from ordinary people. As a member of Melendez, the Viscount's brother, Xiao Of course Carter could see the temperament in the Viscountess that was completely different from others.

The Viscountess raised her head, looked at the stranger in front of her and then at Ryan, lowering her head and shaking.

"I am Master Lane's lady-in-chief."

She thought with some shame in her heart:

"Only in certain places and times can I be a noble."

In the Baron's Castle, Ryan called the butler Beard who was still outside.

"Mr. Shawkat will rest in the Tundra Territory for two days. Then you will bring some specialties of the Tundra Territory and go to the Melendez family on behalf of Mr. Shawkat and I."

Beard already knew what was going on on the way here, and agreed with some excitement.

"I will never let your in-laws underestimate the master's status."

After saying that, he couldn't help but put aside his identity as a butler and said:

"Father will be very happy if he knows that you are finally getting married."

"That old guy."

There was a hint of reminiscence in Ryan's eyes. This winter, even after returning to Calais and the warm south, the old housekeeper still couldn't survive it.

"You will really grow up from now on."

Ryan patted Beard on the shoulder and said. This young man, who was only a little older than Ryan, lowered his head and his eyes were slightly red.

"From now on, I will be the master's butler."

"I heard that you have already had an affair with a lord's daughter."

Ryan quipped.

…

In the afternoon when he returned to the territory, Ryan didn't have much leisure time.

"This winter is not over yet, and the snowstorms are still continuing. If this continues, even if we use greenhouses to insulate our farmland, a lot of land will be damaged."

After getting this answer, Ryan had a headache. He found Yelena, who was also a magician and a genius.

"Master Yelena, can your magic keep the land fertile?"

"Or let me put it another way, can your research or magic methods change the activity of the land, or cultivate a new seed that can withstand the cold?"

"I believe you can do it."

At the end, Ryan took out a large number of magic crystals and placed them in front of Master Yelena, causing the genius wizard to widen his eyes.

"I...try?"

Yelena swallowed her saliva. Who could resist seeing such a large fortune as soon as she came to the frozen land territory?

"At most half a month, the frozen land territory also needs to be reclaimed and cultivated. Can it be completed in this time?"

Ryan asked hopefully, which undoubtedly made Yelena roll her eyes.

"Baron Ryan, do you really think that I don't need time to be promoted to a legend?"

"Half a month is definitely not possible. If it doesn't go well, it will be difficult to complete in one or two years?"

"One or two years?..."

Ryan turned away with a stiff face.

Pah!

That night, Ryan's palm collided with the naked skin of a certain female official with great force, and the blood-red mark was immediately revealed.

"It actually takes so long, one or two years. Even if the terraced wasteland can be reclaimed, do we still need to buy food from outside?"

With a bang, Ryan looked at the cracked bed in silence.

"It's just the first day I came back..."

He admitted that he used a little too much force.

"Forget it, let's change it tomorrow."

As he said that, he moved the delicate body under him directly to the carpet.
