Throne of the North

Roland was thinking about value, but Lane was telling stories.

"The blacksmith, who was favored by the gods, meditated hard for three months in the blacksmith shop left by the legendary craftsman."

"In the end, the blacksmith went thousands of miles deep into the north and saw the snow-capped mountains that would never melt. He tried to understand something."

"However, it wasn't until he reached the top of the snow-capped mountains that he discovered that the snow-capped mountains he was chasing were not actually the highest mountains."

"He stood on the top of the snowy mountain and looked further north. What he saw was a series of high mountains that even the sea of ​​clouds could not cover. Those high mountains also had ice and snow that would not melt."

"The will of winter makes there be higher snow-capped mountains besides the snow-capped mountains."

"So after sitting all night, when dawn came and the radiance of the Lord of the Morning fell on the first flakes of snow, the blacksmith roared."

"At that moment, the perpetual white snow on the Snowy Mountains below me roared like a giant dragon. It was an avalanche, and avalanches on the Snowy Mountains are the most desperate."

"The blacksmith was wrapped in endless ice and snow. He was submerged in the wind and snow, and rolled down the snowy mountain with the avalanche."

"It took him three days and three nights to climb the Snow Mountain, but it only took him three minutes to roll down."

"But the morning light looked upon him, and he did not die."

"When he raised his head from the snow-white world, he saw the eternal snow-capped mountains. After the avalanche, they turned out to be as green as the mountains in the southern world. Originally hidden under the white snow on the snow-capped mountains, there was actually a This emerald green world is the place of vitality left by the gods.”

"After returning, the blacksmith worked hard for ten days and ten nights to forge the 'Snow Dragon's Song'."

"This is the vitality of the North, the dragon's roar of the world, the power that keeps everything under the avalanche destroyed but still full of vitality."

Listening to the story told by Ryan, Mihai's eyes shone brightly, and she believed it.

"This is a knight's sword that has the chance to become a legendary weapon."

Mihai commented.

Stories and objects are always inseparable.

Ryan put down the not-for-sale item that Mihai was obsessed with and picked up another ordinary knight's sword.

This sword is very ordinary. It is a long sword of the Bronze Knight that will break in a year or two if it is not repaired for a long time.

But for a noble like Andara who could even accept last year's rubbish, this long sword can still be considered excellent.

"'Snow Dragon's Song' is a unique forging process in the Tundra Territory. Only that master can forge it. Each weapon can accompany the knight from the earth to the sky. This weapon also comes from more blacksmiths in the Tundra Territory. They follow the master, and their skills are tainted with the blessing of the gods."

Ryan didn't care what the facts were. In short, everything was said in a high-level manner. Roland and Mihai's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"The Tundra Territory does not sell defective products. Every weapon produced by the Tundra Territory is at least of this strength."

Ryan put down the knight's sword.

"And every high-end weapon in the Tundra Territory will not be inferior to the 'Snow Dragon's Song'."

"The names are their uniqueness and represent the will of the vast north."

Ryan said unceremoniously that Roland's biggest problem was that he exposed the fact that they had a lot of money and were big fat sheep from the very beginning.

He must not have done transactions with those pure businessmen, but that's right, the Grand Duke's family, they are the businessmen themselves, and they will benefit no matter what kind of transaction it is.

How can you maximize the profit on this deal? It's not about shoddy goods, piling the quantity on the scale until it's equal to one million gold coins.

It's quality, extraordinary quality, in a smaller quantity, equal to the weight of one million gold coins.

How to increase quality? The materials used in the weapons and the cost of transportation are all part of the quality. Likewise, the stories told by Ryan that will be sung along with the sword are also part of the quality.

A table, no matter how good the materials are, will not have much value if placed in a farmer's home. But if it is placed in the imperial palace, where the emperor corrects memorials every day, then the quality of the table will be improved. Lots of grades.

Stories, wine, and business are the focus of Lane's next economic development.

Its main ingredient is the people from Exnel, who use their talents to become bards to sing about the products of the Tundra Territory, add added value to the goods, and obtain more wealth for Ryan.

Compared with such methods, the chambers of commerce in the empire are too simple.

The first person to eat crabs may have diarrhea or eat a lot, but Ryan is sure that he will be the second.

Because economically this method is destined to succeed, and in addition, his tundra territory also has strong military power.

He is the talker of Lingdu County, he is the military commander of Beifeng Province, and he is a descendant of the Clayton family.

He is also a powerful knight.

"There is no way for the Tundra Territory to eat all the gold coins."

If it were Mihai, he might be confused, but Roland is still relatively sober. He laments the power of the empire, but he also understands that Ryan is just a baron, a... somewhat powerful baron.

"Of course, Mr. Roland."

Ryan smiled, then looked at the other person.

"But the one million gold coins that support you don't come entirely from your father, do they?"

"If the Frozen Territory can't take all the one million gold coins, can't it meet the weapons needs of the McReynolds family?"

Roland's eyes widened at this moment.

If the soldiers of the McReynolds family all use such powerful weapons, it will indeed improve their military strength.

The current Grand Duke's family only has military strength...

Mihai next to him knocked on the table with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course, if the Fragoso family needs it, the Frozen Territory can also meet it. I believe Miss Mihai has also seen that the Frozen Territory is large and has a large population and labor force."

Ryan said with a smile.

There is no difference in each of the one million gold coins, that is the ratio of weight and quality, but among the one million weapons, the weapons from the Frozen Territory will definitely be different from those produced by other nobles.

Since the people coming are Fragoso and McReynolds, the better quality and more powerful Frozen Territory weapons should of course be supplied to these two families first.

In this way, Ryan has also opened up the trade route to the west of the Andara Kingdom.

After the deal was signed on paper, all three parties were very satisfied.

For this, Ryan generously gifted the two nobles two knight swords from the "Snow Dragon Song" series.

"This name has an unbeaten reputation in the Thousand Lakes Province in the south. I hope you can make its glory last forever."
