Throne of the North

The Archmage's words made Olive panic.

She looked at the Amethyst Archmage and couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, what should we do?"

The Archmage shook his head and sighed.

"Ten years ago, we tried, pooling all our resources and spending an unknown amount of gold coins, trying to get me to break through to the Holy Domain Mage, thereby opening the door to space and finding a new home."

"But we soon realized that it was impossible to break through in this harsh winter."

"The magic factors are no longer active due to the cold winter. We do not have enough heat and temperature to activate those magic factors. The entire Exnir, those flame magicians, have long since perished in the war between the gods."

"So at that time, we discussed going to the depths of the sea."

"Olive, did you know that there are volcanoes in the sea?"

"And because they are far away from the north, those volcanoes are still active even under the ice."

"There are volcanoes in the sea?"

Olive opened her mouth wide, shocked by this incident, but Ryan was much quieter. He was not surprised by the existence of volcanoes in the ocean.

"So, senior, are you planning to take a group of people across the glaciers and oceans to those volcanic places?"

Ryan asked, he already understood the thoughts of the Archmage and the entire Mage Academy.

"This is a decision for the three of us, but in the end, it will be the decision of the entire Melting City."

"Then how many people do you plan to take away?"

Amethyst Archmage looked at Ryan with some surprise, as if he was surprised that Ryan didn't plan to leave together?

After all, no matter what, the Mage Academy will leave with those nobles. After all, 90% of the apprentices in the Mage Academy come from the families of those nobles.

"It's a full calculation, fifteen thousand people, but in the end, if five thousand people can reach the destination alive, it's already considered good."

"The City of the Furnace is no longer useful. After hundreds of years of consumption, this city is destined to become ordinary. It will no longer represent warmth, and will be covered by the eternal silence of winter like the northern border."

"Little Wittman, you shouldn't be so persistent."

Ryan shook his head. He knew that he might not be able to take any food from here.

"Senior Archmage, my family was born in this land, so even if we die, we will die in this land."

With that said, Ryan said goodbye to the archmage and left the mage tower.

"Now that you have made your decision, I will give you this too."

Ryan turned around, took the amethyst thrown by the Archmage, and looked at him in confusion.

"This thing was asked by your ancestors back then to help me use the bloodline of Viscount Wittman's family as the key to the seal. It contains some inheritance of your family's knightly combat skills."

"It's just... the deer spirit has fallen."

Ryan walked out of the mage tower, holding the amethyst in his hand. His heartbeat accelerated a lot. The news he had just learned in a short period of time almost made him jump for joy.

If it weren't for the noble's innate superb acting skills, he would have been exposed in front of the archmage.

"It's good to go, it's good to go!"

To be fair, Ryan is not willing to drag those nobles and these mages back to the Tundra Territory.

Although these mages are a huge help, when he returns to the Tundra Territory, he may not have the final say on many things.

These mages themselves are extraordinary, and most of them are nobles. For example, Grand Duke Moriarty is the great magician. Such people are still nobles in the North Wind Province even in the Tundra Territory.

Unlike Baron Arzhe who has nothing but blood, he already has enough confidence, let alone let him, a Grand Duke, listen to Baron Ryan?

Even if you agree on the surface, it’s impossible that you don’t have thoughts in your heart, right? The Grand Duke's pride and dignity might even make the two of them enemies.

It would be too much trouble at that time. Ryan was thinking about quietly transporting the people from the Crucible City. Now it seems that he just needs to wait.

He left the Mage Academy. Suddenly, the scorching temperature in the Mage Academy turned cold. He turned around, in such a warm place, who would have thought that the earth fire, which was the foundation of the Melting City, had completely disappeared?

If such news spread, it would probably cause despair in the entire city, right?

Even those nobles, are they really willing to go to the glacier?

Ryan returned to his mansion, and the food problem has not been solved. Is it necessary to move here from the tundra territory until the mages leave?

This consumption is too much.

Just when Ryan was distressed and ready to think of a solution from the frozen ocean in the south, someone came to his mansion and asked him to meet with the nobles in front of him.

"At this time? Is it possible that the news has already been known to those nobles?"

Ryan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. The news about the furnace fire should not come so soon.

He came to the meeting of nobles. In the hall, all the nobles looked serious.

"What happened?"

Ryan sat down and asked Viscount Sweeting next to him.

This viscount also has a long heritage and once enjoyed a high reputation in the continent of Exnel.

Perhaps, only these wealthy nobles could escape from the north to the south.

"Hey, the figure of the cultist was found in the north, as well as the followers of the abyss."

"The cult is coming again?"

Ryan opened his eyes wide and looked at Grand Duke Moriarty above. Sure enough, the leader of the nobles was telling about the cultists' invasion again.

"Those damn cults, they can eat a year's worth of food, but they have eaten it up so quickly. They don't know what saving is!"

Some nobles roared. No one thought that the cultists would come so soon, and the reason was that they had eaten up the food looted from the Furnace City.

"Those cults who should be burned to death actually have former nobles in them. It's unreasonable!"

There is not much food in the Furnace City, but under the rationing system (exploitation) of the nobles, a small amount of food can keep the people in the Furnace City alive. I didn't expect that the food that could keep a city through the winter in their hands could not even last for one or two months in the hands of the cult.

"War has come again."

"There is no food outside the Crucible City. This time, the cultists can only plunder from us if they want food."

"They want to enter the city."

Moriarty's voice was extremely cold. Some of the nobles in the entire parliament were angry, some were afraid, and Ryan slowly raised his head with bright eyes.

There is food.
