Throne of the North

"From today on, you are free citizens of the Tundra Territory, and I forgive your slave status."

Ryan's words made the more than thirty bandits who were originally resisting open their eyes wide and look at Ryan in shock.

They originally thought that Delen's words were a lie. If they couldn't defeat him, they would never be here.

After seeing that Ryan didn't seem to be playing tricks on them, these dozens of people knelt down and kept kowtowing and saying the master's kind words.

After accepting the gratitude of these people, Ryan rewarded one of the elk weighing more than 120 kilograms to the eight guard trainee knights.

He also rewarded the smallest elk, which weighed less than a hundred pounds, to more than 150 villagers in Tundra Village.

At this point, his reputation in Tundra Village and Tundra Territory has reached its peak.

Yes, it's that simple. Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but sneer at this strict era.

After eating and drinking enough, Ryan finally felt that his strength had improved significantly.

"So, where exactly are you leading to?"

【Spirituality: 27】

Ryan, who had only twenty-seven spiritual points left and spent one hundred spiritual points, looked at a space portal the size of a room door in front of him, took a deep breath and turned around to leave.

"Dren!"

"master!"

Old Beard and Delen were called, and then Ryan's eyes fell on Delen, and he said somewhat seriously:

"Will you be my knight's squire?"

Strictly speaking, Delen and the seven trainee knights were just his bodyguards. They were the bodyguards assigned to him by the Earl of Clayton to come to his territory.

So if the Earl of Clayton is serious about it, all of them, Delen, will be his father's soldiers.

And if he becomes Ryan's knight attendant, then from now on, Delenn will have nothing to do with Clayton.

"I..." Delen, who had been trying to please Ryan, finally lowered his head in shame and struggle at this moment.

His family in Clayton Earldom would definitely have a better life than here, and he could clearly see what the Tundra Territory looked like.

"If you don't want to, go and call that Rosen over."

Ryan's voice was calm, but it made Delen's whole body tremble and soften, and he almost rolled and crawled out.

He knew that his position as knight commander might become that of Rosen.

"Will you be my knight squire?"

"I do!"

Rosen was also trembling, but he was excited and enthusiastic.

Knight squire is not actually a noble status, it just means that Rosen is definitely a soldier who belongs to Ryan.

But often only formal knights are called knight squires, and they become knight squires with the strength of a trainee knight. Rosen felt that there were not many people like him in the entire empire.

"My subordinates will shed their blood on the sword and shield. Your will is my direction, and your gift is my divine grace!"

Rosen cut his palm with the sword in his hand, clenched his fist tightly against his heart.

He is just a knight's attendant, but at this moment he is willing to fulfill his duty as a guardian knight.

"good."

Ryan looked at Delen, who had a complicated expression next to him, "You lead people to guard this place. No one is allowed to enter the house without my instructions."

"Yes, I will follow your will." Delen's expression is still respectful. After all, he has not become a knight's attendant, and his relationship with Ryan will not change in any way.

Moreover, as long as Earl Clayton, the baron's father, doesn't care about it in the future, he will spend his future days in this tundra territory.

The reason why he refused before was just because of his family.

His two sons, both talented as knights, may be able to become official knights earlier than him and have a better future in the warm south.

Ryan also understood this, so he didn't ask too much of Delen, and he didn't even take off the title of captain of the opponent's knight guard.

"Beard, come too."

After taking Old Beard and Rosen into the house, they both looked at the space portal in shock.

"This door can only last a hundred hours. Our time is going to speed up."

"God's grace!" Beard looked at Ryan enthusiastically and knelt down directly.

"I swear in the name of a knight that I will never reveal the secret of Master Ryan."

On the side, Rosen also followed suit, and then the two of them stepped back and arranged some measures at the door.

Anyone who enters a house will know afterwards that someone has been inside.

A few meters outside the house, Delen looked at the closed door and felt as if he had missed something.

"Let's go."

After Ryan walked into the space door, Beard and Rosen were guarding him on the left and right.

In almost the blink of an eye, the original house disappeared, and instead, a white world appeared in front of the eyes of the three Ryans.

If there is still some greenery in the tundra territory, then where they are now is an endless snowfield, with no extra color except dead white.

Everything was covered by the wind and snow, and there was no sign of life.

Ryan looked back. The space portal was gone, but he could open it and return to the tundra territory at any time within a hundred hours.

There is a looming portal under the feet, and it seems that someone walked through here not long ago.

"There's someone here, which is good news." Rosen said. He was also curious about where this place was.

"Let's go."

Without Ryan's signal, Rosen was already walking in front with a long sword in hand. He was very cold in leather armor, but at this moment he had to keep the cold wind away from the baron.

"Bird, tell me about God's grace."

On the snowy plain, three pairs of feet stepped on the snow, except for the creaking sound, there was no more sound, which made Ryan feel a little depressed.

"Yes, young master."

After seeing Ryan's methods, Beard became more respectful and no longer overstepped his authority that only elders could have.

He didn't know much about God's grace.

"The gods started the Pan-dimensional War, and they needed their believers to fight for them."

"In the middle and late stages of the war, the gods needed an urgent victory, so they personally bestowed divine grace on their believers. Using divine grace, those believers harvested faith for the gods."

"After a god started such a method, other gods had to do the same. As a result, the number of people who received divine grace in the Pan-dimensional War increased."

"Later, the war between the gods ended, and the entire North was covered by the wind and snow of eternal winter."

"The war of the gods caused the sky to spew out the flames of world destruction, and the death of the gods plunged the earth into an eternal winter."

"But the people who received divine grace did not disappear completely because of the disappearance of the gods. Every once in a while, news of divine grace could be heard."

"In addition..." Bild was silent, or rather a little frightened and shocked.

"It is rumored that after the Pan-dimensional War of the gods ended, it was not necessary for the gods to personally grant divine grace in order to obtain divine grace."

"Many gods died in the Pan-dimensional War."
