Throne of the North

"Those of you who haven't received the blessing, don't worry."

"If you are willing to become my soldier, you will also have the opportunity to practice the Stag Knight Breathing Method through training."

Lian's words made the others around him feel a little relieved.

His eyes fell on the authoritative old men again, and Ryan continued:

"My current territory is not perfect enough, and everything is missing. If you leave with me, take everything you can take."

"Try to be as fast as possible and finish it within one day."

The leading old man saluted respectfully, he is the leader here.

"Follow your will."

After listening to Ryan's description of the frozen land territory, this village, or tribe, began to prepare various supplies.

"I believe that each of them is a rare treasure for you."

Brand said on the side.

"Oh?"

Lian naturally wanted to get closer to this guardian knight, and the best way was to tell a story.

"Can I hear the story of what happened here?"

"Yes, you command."

After Brand saluted, he found an old man with some inconvenience in his movements for Ryan. Ryan saw that he had a pair of wooden calves under his trousers.

Seeing that there was no contempt in Ryan's eyes, both the old man and Brand subconsciously respected him more.

"Father Arnold experienced the war of gods, and I was also picked up by him. His legs were disabled because of me." Brand said on the side.

"The lord wants to hear our story."

"Our story..." Father Arnold's turbid eyes showed many memories.

When people get old, they really like to talk about the past.

"We have been living like this since eighty years ago. Lord, you have also seen it, so I will tell you what happened eighty years ago."

Father Arnold's voice echoed in the wind and snow, and Ryan always stood there calmly and listened quietly.

"Our world is called Exner Continent, and most of the humans respect the Stag Spirit.

We pursue the passion of the Stag Spirit, so the people of Exner Continent are also full of passion.

We also imitate the bravery and dexterity of the Stag Spirit and the world we have seen, so Exner Continent is full of bards and craftsmen who are good at manual work.

Exner Continent may not have a large population, but it is extremely prosperous, and everyone is rich and happy.

Just over a hundred years ago, the gods started a pan-dimensional war, and the Twilight of the Gods came.

Exner was also caught in the flames of war. The war of the gods set the sky on fire, and the Stag Spirit also participated in the war.

As the people of the Stag Spirit, the people on the continent also fought for the Stag Spirit, and the war lasted for twenty-five years.

The Stag Spirit fell. Although we firmly believe that the Deer Spirit is still alive, there are no traces of the Deer Spirit on the continent.

At the same time, the death brought by the pan-dimensional war of the gods plunged the continent into an eternal winter, and the cold snow and cold wind ravaged the continent.

The forest was submerged in the snow, the swamp turned into frozen soil, and the river was frozen. The eternal cold covered everything. Yes, maybe only the southernmost part has some warm corners left.

In the war of gods, the people's faith is their soldiers. In just 25 years, a small part of the people on the continent of Exner died.

But this is not the end. The killings brought by the war often lead to a small number of deaths.

After the war, the continent fell into famine. Hunger and cold took away most of the people in the first ten years. In the following time, chaos also made the population smaller and smaller.

Those who can survive in the cold of eternal winter in that short period of time are actually excellent.

However, the deer spirit disappeared. No matter how outstanding it was, it was just a mortal without extraordinary power. Facing the biting wind and frost and the increasing pressure of survival, the population would only decrease.

Especially children. Many babies died in the first few decades.

We could not replenish our tribe, so the end was doomed.

The war of the gods is over. We have lost everything, and in the eternal winter, we will also lose everything left. "

Father Arnold fell into a deep sleep while talking. In the end, he told Ryan that he would not follow him to the frozen land territory and go to another world.

He had witnessed the prosperity and wealth of the Exner continent, and would also protect the last silence and coldness of this continent.

He told Ryan a name, and all his carpentry skills had been passed on to the boy.

"Father Arnold will not survive this winter, but he should be happy to see that his tribe has a chance to survive before then. "

Brand sent Father Arnold back to the cabin, and then brought back another young man to Ryan.

"Arnoel was also picked up by Father Arno in the snow."

"Arnoel pledges allegiance to you."

The young man knelt in front of Ryan, and Ryan found that he was not one of the thirty apprentice knights selected by Brand.

"He yearns for the stories of the bards told by Father Arno, and he is not suitable for fighting."

Brand explained that even though he had a good relationship with the other party, he insisted on his duties.

"Well, get up."

Lian looked at Arnold, "Although it is not suitable for fighting, the knight's breathing method can still be practiced. If you want to become an excellent carpenter and bard, the body is the foundation."

"Follow your will." Arnold said with respect. Since the lord said so, it must be right.

Brand also needs to prepare his own belongings, together with Arnold, so there are only three people left in the village, Ryan and his servant.

"With the help of these people, there will be people to build the frozen land." Old Beard said with relief.

From the beginning, he never spoke to Ryan, because he felt that every decision made by Master Ryan was right.

As a butler, he only needs to be silent.

On the side, Rosen's face was a little tangled, and he couldn't help looking at Ryan in the end.

"Lord, can you give me that kind of deer spirit blessing once?"

He felt his face was a little hot, mainly because he had deeply realized his problem.

He was too weak.

Not counting Brand, even among the thirty apprentice knights, he felt that there were at least ten people who could surpass him, and there was even a high possibility that there were more, because this group of people had not yet been trained in knightly skills.

As the first knight attendant of Master Ryan, he felt that he should not be so weak, otherwise he would embarrass the lord.

"Blessing? Of course, but you can only practice the stag breathing method in the future."

Ryan said, and then after waiting for Rosen's firm gaze, he pointed out with one finger, and ten points of spirituality disappeared.

In addition to the two gains, Ryan did not see the [loyalty] and [enthusiasm] qualities of Brand and others in Rosen, but [unyielding].

Obviously, this has something to do with Rosen's journey from childhood to adulthood. He did not expect the deer spirits of this continent of Exner, nor did he grow up listening to so many stories.

Stories and poets, fine wine and the world, formed many noble qualities of people like Brand.

They formed cognition from stories and gained enthusiasm from fine wine.
