Throne of the North

According to what Ryan knows, the Exner continent is not that big, and is not even as big as the current Flor Empire.

But there used to be kingdoms on this continent.

However, in the Crucible City, Ryan has not heard of any king or even royal family members. Even the nobles of those kingdoms are only marginal nobles such as three or two barons.

Duke Moriarty is the highest-ranking noble in the Crucible City. He and the Mage Academy are in charge of this city. Perhaps he is more likely to watch this city for several great wizards.

After all, the only extraordinary path for the nobles on the Exner continent is magicians, and mages naturally become more noble.

This is the so-called different treatments in different worlds caused by supply and demand.

When it was night, Ryan thought about it and planned to leave Harrington in the Crucible City to help him collect information, and then took Brand back to the frozen land.

Even if he doesn't appear directly in the Furnace City next time after crossing the plane gate, he will be near that city. Ryan has figured out the rules, and this golden finger depends on the temperature.

So there is no need to worry too much about leaving Harrington alone there, as long as Ryan goes there every few days to show up.

The development of the frozen land territory is still going on, and wheat has already grown vigorously in the first batch of terraces, which has caused the Bain family in charge of them to be jealous of many people in the territory.

If the big pie drawn by Ryan before made them orgasm in their brains, then now that the big pie has become a reality, it means that the wealth and class gap between the Bain family and other civilians has completely appeared.

How can people not be jealous of this.

Ryan has also intentionally or unintentionally arranged for the Bain family to help him transport some stones to various places recently, with the purpose of letting the Bain family, who are in the limelight, show up. Every time they show up, everyone will be full of energy in the next period of time.

There is no incentive effect at any cost, which is very useful.

A few days later, Ryan opened the plane door again. He did not appear directly in the Crucible City, but in a land covered with snow and mud. He was sure that the plane door was indeed inaccurate.

The Crucible City was more than a thousand meters away. Standing here, you can also see that the city in the south is probably the only trace left on the Exner continent.

Ryan did not enter the city directly this time, because he was in the south of the Crucible City. Turning his head to look in the south, he saw a wide open space in front of him, and also smelled a strong fishy smell and sea breeze.

"The sea..."

No matter how many times you look at it, you will still be amazed by the vastness and endless flatness of the sea, especially Ryan has never seen a frozen ocean.

He has seen the blue all over, but he has never known the snow-white glaciers.

The memory of traveling around the world across the screen was replaced by the glacier ocean in front of him that exuded a hazy cold mist like a paradise on earth.

"Is this the sea?"

Brand also froze in place, with a look of longing in his eyes. The people of Exner are free and yearn for the world. Among the countless stories and wines, there are descriptions of the sea. Every young man who listens to the story has the dream of entering the story.

"It is the sea, but it is a different sea."

"The west coast of the empire is known as the place where the gods bathe. One day, we can go and see it."

Lian said, he continued to walk forward, because he saw many people on the ice. They seemed to be fishing?

The endless ice surface, near the shore, formed a crescent-shaped lake.

"That is the great wizards of the Furnace City. They melted the glacier with forbidden spells and formed a crescent lake. For more than a hundred years, this lake has fed countless people in the Furnace City."

"It also killed countless slaves."

Lian asked the civilians on the coast as a noble and got this answer.

He looked at the 'lake' on the glacier in front of him, and what he saw was not the ups and downs of the surging waves, but layers of ice colliding with each other.

The ice cubes were prism-shaped like fingers, and countless ice cubes formed unique waves in the crescent lake.

"Ice push"

Ryan said a word, somewhat amazed that the great wizards had used magic to create such a wonder.

The wonder is not only a wonder, but also an important source of food for the Furnace City. More than 60% of the food in the Furnace City comes from the crescent lake where the ice push phenomenon has lasted for hundreds of years.

However, as time passed a hundred years, the marine catch that can be caught on the crescent lake became less and less.

In one net, ninety-nine were ice cubes, and the remaining one was a palm-sized fish.

This also forced the nobles of the Furnace City to open up the frozen land to the north to cultivate the fields, but this year their cultivated fields were all looted by the cultists.

Ryan stood on the coast for two hours. The civilians and slaves who came and went were very surprised that the noble lord would appear here, but they did not dare to disturb him and could only bypass a long way.

After a long time, Ryan finally turned around and prepared to return to the Furnace City.

"Their food is not enough."

In two hours, Ryan could see the crescent lake. I'm afraid there were no more fish to feed them. The so-called food of the whole sea was impossible. The great wizards of the Furnace City could not do that. They could only melt the ice on the surface, forming an ice-pushing wonder and creating a lake.

This lake is not much different from lakes on land, and it is not connected to the deep sea at all.

It is much easier to enter the city from the south of the Furnace City than from the north, because there are many people going in and out to fish every day, and the soldiers guarding the city have long been accustomed to it.

Back to his mansion, Clayton came out to greet him, and there were also a group of maids in the manor.

"Master Ryan."

These days, Clayton did not do nothing. He was in contact with a lot of news in this city.

The most critical one is

"There is no more food in the Furnace City."

Clayton said apprehensively:

"I sneaked into several granaries, and there was no food in them."

"All the food is in the nobles, the three wizard towers, and the wizard academy. I didn't dare to go into the wizard towers and the academy. I went into the nobles' mansions, but there was not much food in them. I'm afraid that the combined supply to the Furnace City can only last for two months."

"But they will definitely not take out all of it, right?"

Ryan said, he planned to stay here for a while to see the situation.

He glanced at his spirituality panel, and the balance was still sufficient. He could stay here longer by consuming double the spirituality.

In fact, even if he didn't consume spirituality, he could stay, but in that case, he would have no anchor point. It was unknown whether he could return to the frozen land after opening the plane door here.

Be safe, waste it.
