Throne of the North

"Make a lot of money, make a lot of money."

Hatton was so happy in the castle that he even looked at the maids around him much less.

"Don't worry, these 100,000 gold coins and 70,000 are mine."

Ryan said calmly from the side.

"ah?"

Hatton paused and stared at Ryan with a somewhat evil look in his eyes, as if Ryan was a thief who had robbed him of his wealth.

"Mr. Hatton, you have to understand that I won this war. If we discuss it carefully, all the war compensation should fall into my hands. It's just that I don't want to do that."

"In addition, at least 70% of the weapons and armor on the battlefield should be mine as trophies."

"Finally, you invited me to this war, Mr. Hatton. Therefore, in addition to the food we agreed on, you will also give us some gold coins to reward us for our victory in this war."

After listening to Ryan's words, Hatton clasped his fingers and looked at Ryan with a pale face after a long time.

"Ryan, you devil, my gold coins."

Although he cried and howled, Hatton had no intention of resisting. He also knew that Ryan's military strength was something he could not offend as a neighbor.

…

After a war, most of the transaction between Ryan and Mihai was completed, and after several days of negotiation, all the rest was purchased.

With the wealth gained in the war, Ryan also returned to the Tundra Territory.

Instructing Beard to continue to the Kingdom of Andara to purchase food and bring all the weapons and armor, Ryan once again frequently traveled back and forth between the Furnace City and the Tundra Territory.

However, on the last day of the warmest month of the year, Lane received an envoy from Baron Barnes at the castle in the Tundra Territory.

"My master asked me to say hello to Baron Lane on his behalf. I hope that the Flower of the North Wind will witness the friendship between you and my master."

Ryan smiled and nodded.

"I have always been a friend of Baron Barnes."

After being polite, Ryan asked the knight in front of him:

"I wonder why Baron Barnes sent you here?"

The knight named Barak said respectfully:

"My master, sincerely invites you and your army to garrison at the Castle of the Flower of the North Wind."

Ryan's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Baron Barnes also knew about his war with Baron Roach, and was now inviting him.

The conflicts among the nobles in the North Wind Province have faded away with the laws of the empire, and have become primitive and barbaric. In Lingdu County, the old Viscount Miles no longer has the ability to suppress everyone. Viscount Gong was naturally his opponent, and now there was a third party. A nobleman like Barnes was not willing to become the younger brother of the two viscounts.

But Ryan had no intention of refusing. The nearly 20,000 people in the Furnace City entering the Tundra Territory brought pressure that could only be alleviated by war. Only the time of the war would allow him to perfectly handle such a large population. tundra territory.

He looked at Barak in front of him, a knight at the peak of the Bronze Knight. He was proud of the entire baron circle.

"So, what can I gain? What will I bear? In the end, what will I become?"

Ryan's three questions made Barak in front of him a little confused. He was just a knight, not a noble, and he didn't quite understand what Ryan meant.

"Well, you go back with my problem and tell Baron Barnes that I can go to his Flower of the North Wind Castle, but at the same time, I need food and gold coins, and I will work with him to resist the pressure from higher nobles, At the same time, I must have absolute control over my own army, even if his military war fails, I need to take over his army to ensure the interests of both of us."

"Go back with my true words. If Baron Barnes agrees, then my army will enter the Castle of the Flower of the North Wind in a friendly manner, which... is known as the oldest castle on this earth. "In the fortress."

After Ryan finished speaking, Barak left. After all, he was still unable to make a decision on behalf of Baron Barnes. It seemed that the position of Lord in Baron Barnes' territory was hardly related to him.

On the first day of July, Ryan learned the good news that Viscountess Wittman had given birth.

When Ryan came down from Rhinohorn Mountain, he saw the old housekeeper and Mr. Yazhe standing anxiously outside a stone castle mansion with their newlywed wife.

"Mr. Yazhe, are you in such a hurry?"

Ryan asked with a smile, looking at the woman next to him with a slightly bulging belly.

"This is my grandson, and he is a grandson with the blood of a viscount. He is the natural successor of the viscount..."

Yazhe suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He was still old, and only now did he realize that there was only one noble in the Tundra Territory.

"Master Ryan, I'm just happy for my daughter."

Ryan nodded, then looked at the maid who came out and asked:

"How is Madam's physical condition?"

Women's childbirth has always been a journey before death. Even many nobles cannot avoid it. For example, Baron Hatton's wife died due to childbirth. I don't know what the reason for that guy Hatton has never been again. Marry.

"Madam gave birth to a young lady, who is currently in good health."

The maid said respectfully, and soon after, Ryan and Yazhe also saw the sweaty Viscountess.

"Thank you, Mr. Ryan. If the medical skills you brought can be spread, I am afraid that many women can be saved."

The Viscountess said sincerely, and Ryan also smiled slightly.

"Yes, it seems that you are in good condition. The lady-in-waiting in my castle will have a strict instructor in the future."

The Viscountess didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned slightly red.

"I will teach them well."

In the frozen land territory, no one can just enjoy themselves. The families of Yazhe and others have to open up and manage the wasteland. Of course, this Viscountess also needs to work to get paid.

Ryan said a few more words of encouragement, and glanced at the old butler not far away, who nodded slightly at him.

"Then, you have a good rest, I will leave first."

Ryan and the old butler left the room, and the latter took out a slender crystal container, which was a gift from Master Lula to repay Ryan for his help to her.

In the crystal container, there was a drop of bright red blood, from the baby girl of the Viscount Witman family bloodline.

"The legacy of the Viscount family, something that can be preserved by a great wizard, should be...very precious, right?"

Ryan returned to the fortress on Rhino Horn Mountain. In order to ensure safety, he specially invited the wizard Luna.

The latter was also very curious about what Ryan said. Even she had never come into contact with this kind of magic before.
