Throne of the North

"This is snow tea. It was transported from a distant place. The quantity is not large. I am afraid it will disappear completely in the future."

"According to legend, snow tea grows between the gap between ice and water. It is a tough plant. They do not need to breathe and absorb nutrients from the water. The moment they see sunlight, the snow tea matures."

"This moment can only last for one noon."

Ryan described a beautiful story, which made Mihai's eyes reveal yearning.

Therefore, people who are not from the Melting City will never understand how hopeless it is for them to survive in the gap between ice and fire.

"It must be a beautiful world."

"Yes, it is very beautiful, just like the beginning of the world's blooming."

After Ryan finished speaking, he took out some snow tea. Looking at the golden and silver tea leaves, Mihai's eyes seemed to be about to pounce on them.

"This is for Miss Mihai, to thank you for helping me buy so much food."

"In addition, if possible, I also hope that Miss Mihai can bring some tea back to the kingdom to trade among the nobles."

This thing is worth a lot of money, but there are so many in the Crucible City that even Ryan can't drink it, so he can only sell it. After all, it is too difficult to save it. Even Master Luna said there is no way, unless there is ice and snow. The magician completely froze it.

"OK."

Mihai agreed directly, but quickly reacted.

"I didn't come here to trade tea with you."

After saying that, Mihai became serious.

"I am speaking to you on behalf of the Fragoso family."

After saying that, he stretched out his palm. The ring and gemstone on it was engraved with the image of a unicorn taking flight.

"Then please tell me why you're here."

Ryan said, looking at Mihai.

The two said a few serious words before returning to their previous state, with a heavy color in Mihai's eyes.

"I'm here to buy weapons from you."

"arms?"

Ryan was a little surprised. A viscount from the kingdom came to buy weapons from him?

Ryan didn't speak, but heard Mihai explain first.

"Two duchies and an earldom south of Andara have united and asked the kingdom for land in the south close to their territory. There are thousands of hectares of cultivated land and a wide mountain range."

"No one thought that the kingdom would agree, but what no one expected was that the old king actually agreed."

"He signed a contract and gave the farmland and the entire Griffin Mountain Range belonging to the kingdom to the three great nobles and several other great nobles who have never spoken."

"So, the four dukes and the four counts suddenly united."

When Mihai said this, his tone was also angry.

"That stupid old guy actually handed over the land of the kingdom to others, and he also said that he could allow these nobles to help the kingdom resist the pressure of the empire, and also allow these nobles to have direct access to the northern border, allowing them to go to the north. The aliens fighting in the border area."

"But everyone knows that the empire will not leave the Flying Wing Canyon, and it is absolutely impossible for those big nobles to fight with the orcs in the north."

"As the lords and nobles of this land, we will never allow the fatuous old king to sell the kingdom's land. In the south, we have declared war on those nobles, but as you can imagine, for Fragoso, we lack Weapons, there aren’t many iron ores in the kingdom’s lands.”

What Ryan was thinking about was not about being without weapons, but...

The nobles below actually dared to deny and resist the King of Andara's order openly! ! !

The Kingdom of Andara is one of the eight kingdoms in the southern land. Even though they may be at the bottom because of their proximity to the empire and the northern border, the nobles within the kingdom can actually violate it openly.

This is probably the biggest hot spot in the entire southern land this year, besides the Lordship system, right?

No wonder the king of Andara would trade the farmland and mountains to those few big nobles. Is this stupidity? This was the political acumen of the old king for decades. He wanted to use the big nobles in the south to weaken the power of the nobles in his kingdom who had the confidence to resist past orders.

To put it bluntly, they still want to stabilize their rule, but Andala's royal family is no longer able to use the political struggle within the kingdom to accomplish all this, and can only use external forces.

Ryan's whole body was filled with enthusiasm. He looked at Mihai in front of him with burning eyes.

"How many do you need?"

Mihai looked at Ryan with some confusion, wondering why the baron was so excited.

"We need one thousand weapons and five hundred pairs of leather armor."

"We still need a hundred complete knight armors. If we can have war horses..."

"Stop it!"

Ryan interrupted Mihai.

"Everything else is easy to say. It's impossible to have a hundred knight armors and war horses. What do you think I am? I'm just a baron from the north. Do you think I have those things?"

Mihai looked at Ryan with wide eyes. She had followed along the way and had seen the fighting power of those soldiers with her own eyes.

The Fragoso family did not believe before that a northern baron from an empire would have such huge wealth.

But they didn't understand why Ryan needed so much food, almost accepting everyone who came, and they didn't understand why Ryan had so many powerful soldiers.

After knowing that Ryan was the heir of the Earl of Clayton's family, they thought that this baron was different, so Mihayi proposed to come and see it in person.

As expected, there was no baron's territory with such a large population. From what Mihayi saw, it seemed that the frozen land territory had at least 7,000 to 8,000 people.

"We can pay with gold coins, gems, and even magic crystals."

"I don't need those things."

Mihayi stared at Ryan. There were nobles who said they didn't need gold coins?

"Food, livestock."

"We have these too."

Mihayi gritted his teeth and said that as nobles of the kingdom close to the north, they didn't actually have too much food, but it was much better than the North Wind Province.

"Then if we trade these things, it's a deal."

"I'll find a way to get the blacksmith to forge the armor and weapons needed by the knights, and at the same time, my butler will continue to buy food from you."

Mikhail was a little shocked.

"How much food do you need?"

"As much as I have, I want."

Ryan asked Mihay to stay in the castle for the time being, and while thinking, he gradually came to the top of the Rhinoceros Horn Mountain, where he could see the most extensive and spectacular scenery.

Although Mihay had a childlike face, he was much older than Ryan, so when he spoke, he was not so cautious inadvertently.

She no longer talked about her family, but about... us.

There must be a huge change inside the Andara Kingdom.

Ryan was extremely curious.
