Ryan's answer surprised Count Clayton.
He had never cared much about his children, and didn't know much about Ryan. He only knew that Imperial Capital was ordinary, but at this moment, Ryan's sensitivity surprised and surprised him.
He nodded.
"When I come back this time, I won't have to go to Northlands for a long time. A lot of Orcs have been slaughtered in recent years. In a short period of time, they will not dare to approach the empire's fortress."
Clayton told Ryan one thing, that is, the empire has always had an advantage in the face of Northern Orcs's invasion.
This is also the reason why Northwind Province has been proposed all the time, because with the empire's great advantage, Northwind Province is like mud and cannot be lifted up, which is very embarrassing for the empire.
"In addition, this time Divine Grace Festival also represents the power dispute between the empire and the Church. The empire wants to fight for more interests and allies."
"Baronet System, thus was born."
"You will go to Imperial Capital with me then. This year Divine Grace Festival will have many noble representatives going to Imperial Capital."
This is certainly a good thing for Ryan.
Because apart from the land economic source, the largest source of income for the nobles who separated was the trade with their own family after the separation.
Because of the relationship of blood and family, this first trade was born between father and son. According to the scale of the Clayton Family, Frozen Earth Territory's resources can be traded with the Clayton Family, so that Frozen Earth Territory of Ryan can have the first pot of gold to develop the territory.
Often, Clayton Family can receive all the resources from Frozen Earth Territory and provide monetary support to Frozen Earth Territory at a slight premium.
Then there is the problem. After two or three generations, Clayton Family will consider that the interest relationship will be greater than the relationship between relatives, and thus choose not to accept the scraps of Frozen Earth Territory.
At that time, Frozen Earth Territory, who already had the first pot of gold, the second pot of gold... naturally also had the conditions for trade with other nobles.
This is the original model, but with Planar Gate and Ryan, there is no need to do this at all, and the specialties he brought over are no longer scrap metal.
The specialty products he brought to Xiao Jing this time must of course be sold at a good price, and Clayton Family will also benefit from it, rather than just to get some money and use this method to maintain Ryan's first pot of gold.
That is a specialty product from Otherworld. A unique item will definitely sell for a high price within the empire.
Of course, this does not mean that Ryan will be equal to Clayton. The most important point is that selling his things to the Clayton Family, and then Clayton Family selling them to the empire or even South, can reduce a lot of trouble.
The current Ryan asks himself that he is not yet qualified to form a chamber of commerce without being exploited.
Frozen Earth Territory will take at least three to five years to develop before other nobles dare not easily exploit passing caravans.
In this Blaze Dragon Castle, Ryan could see the gap between the Baron territory and the territory of the powerful nobles.
He also saw once again the communication method of the Clayton Family's descendants.
Very simple, fight.
As an Earl family that has reshaped its bloodline, this Count Clayton is particularly powerful, with many heirs and passionate blood. The sixteen-year-old ban has caused them to vent in other directions.
Fighting became a good way, and even Count Clayton was satisfied with this natural decision.
However, the older ones are ultimately much more powerful than the younger ones. Just like Dragons, Dragons that lives longer often represents strength.
Ryan As a noble, he can no longer participate in it. At this moment, he is accompanying his mother, watching the fighting below from the window of the castle.
Clayton Family maintains several Mage Corps teams. As long as they are just injured, they can be rescued.
For example, Ryan's mother Kalami is a powerful Life Mage, but he doesn't know what her mother's strength is.
"Your brother Kelsie already has his own territory and has become Baron. Unfortunately, he cannot come back this year as Divine Grace Festival."
Kalami pulled Ryan and talked a lot, and also mentioned the first child she gave birth to.
Currently, three of the children of the Clayton Family already have Noble Title, one is Ryan, one is Kelsie, and the other is their second brother.
Even the third child Kaz can only become Lordship.
As for the boss, he is naturally the future Count Clayton.
But Ryan feels that the boss may have to stay in this position for a long time.
Count Clayton, who came back from Northlands, seems to be even more powerful.
Finally, of course Kalami cannot avoid mentioning Ryan's marriage.
"You are now an adult. Sister Ellie and I discussed and selected three viscount families and seventeen legitimate daughters of the Baron family for you. I hope to be able to choose a suitable wife for you among them."
If there is no Noble Title, the wife of Ryan is probably the daughter of a certain Baron except the first one, and the daughter of a viscount, or if you are lucky, the earl family.
But Ryan is Baron. Even Northwind Province Frozen Earth Territory, a territorial lord that no one in South wants, is also Baron, so according to the specifications, it is different.
His wife may be the only daughter of a certain Baron, or she may be the favored daughter of a viscount or even an earl, but the latter has a condition that the daughter's own talent is not that outstanding.
Because if a viscount, or even the daughter of an earl, is outstanding in addition to her background, then the person chosen cannot be Baron, but the heir to the same great noble family, or Imperial House.
Especially if there is only one daughter.
The essence of marriage is political, economic, and even military cooperation.
Being a good match is inevitable.
Ryan Although he does not exclude this aspect, he also hopes to find someone he is satisfied with.
He smiled and said:
"Mother, if you don't have to choose any more, let me choose."
Kalami looked at Ryan and laughed.
"You are more picky than your father."
"Don't even think about it. Your territory is at Northwind Province. There are a few girls who are willing to follow you there."
"My territory is pretty good."
"Of course I believe you have the ability to manage a territory well, but you have to make others believe it too."
"Northern Lands, it's very cold."
Kalami tightened his cloak, winter was coming, and even the South land could feel it.
She wasn't too anxious, and neither was Ryan. After all, there was still time. It would take about a year or so for both sides to make a final decision on this matter.
"This time you follow your father to Imperial Capital. If you meet the right person but don't have the courage, you might as well come and talk to me."
The weight of Countess Clayton is still very high.
