Ryan's mother was right. The daughter of South's aristocrat really found it hard to look down on Northwind Province's aristocrat.
Where did the contempt chain come from? To a large extent, it comes from the mouths of these women.
The aristocratic ladies of Northwind Province cannot avoid wearing more warm clothes, but the ladies of South are much more refined.
Not to mention other things, South cannot compare to South in terms of daily life and servants.
This is unavoidable. Under Winter's Chill, it is almost impossible to survive. Who cares how to live a delicate life.
Of course, it's not just the differences in geographical environment.
The nobles of Northwind Province often appear there to try to rise again because their families have fallen into despair. In South, they are inherently inferior to other nobles who occupy privileged lands. Otherwise, why would they go to the frontier?
Just like Clayton Family, how could he give up when he occupies such a good land?
So in terms of the wealth gap between nobles of the same level, Northwind Province cannot compare to the land of South.
If the nobles of South mention a certain noble who is relatively familiar to Northwind Province, they will first think of, ah, this family was right next to us in South, and its strength and wealth were not very strong...
It was not enough to gain a foothold in South, so one had to go to Northwind Province to fight hard. This in South Noble Circle was originally a sign of family decline.
It's true, they don't care much about whether the nobles have risen again after going to Beifeng Province. Anyway, it's hard to get rid of the label of being a cold and poor northern land.
Ryan, as Baron, is not looked down upon as highly as the other two brothers who became Baron. It is also for this reason.
They also know what Northwind Province and Frozen Earth Territory looked like in the past.
However, Ryan doesn't care about any of this.
He himself knows what Frozen Earth Territory is like, and many people will know it in the future.
At this moment, walking in this Blaze Dragon Castle, he didn't feel much kindness. With black hair and red eyes, all he felt when walking on the street were awe-inspiring looks, but no matter what, he also felt that he was becoming more and more out of place here.
"This place does not belong to me after all."
Frozen Earth Territory Although he is very cold and not very wealthy, he has land that only belongs to him, tens of thousands of his people, and a soft viscount...
He looked at the ring on his hand, which was engraved with the image of Rhino Horn Mountain. The rhinoceros horn-like mountain peak was the badge of Ryan.
In comparison, Clayton Family's roaring flag of Dragons is particularly unfamiliar.
Ryan's eyes became firm, and he would not doubt his future.
That night, Count Clayton held a rare banquet within the family, entertaining Ryan with noble etiquette.
From this moment on, the relationship between the Clayton Family and Baron Ryan is no longer a simple blood relationship, but also allies, allies between nobles, political allies in the empire, and Southern Continent.
The banquet was not luxurious, but the wealth of the Earl family still made Ryan a little frightened.
Ryan thought that the banquet would pass like this, but he didn't expect that something went wrong at the last moment of the banquet.
Many people were curious as they looked at the soldiers who were roughly pushed away at the door and the strong men whose clothes were incompatible with the nobles at the banquet.
They both know each other's identity.
"Master Knox, why are you here?"
Even Countess Ellie couldn't help but be surprised, because this Master Knox was Clayton Family's best master craftsman.
Once any profession can be called a master, it means that his status is not inferior to that of a nobleman, not to mention that this is the only titled master under the rule of the Clayton Family.
In other words, even if Count Clayton comes and goes in a hurry, he will be treated politely here.
Because Knox, named "Tomahawk", once created a Legendary Weapon.
His own knight cultivation strength is also ranked Sky-rank.
Such a character is of course a top priority for the Clayton Family.
At this moment, Master Knox was also very excited, but when he saw the eyes around him looking at him, he knew that he had lost his composure.
After calming down, he bowed respectfully to the countess and said:
"Madam, I am here for Master Ryan."
"Oh?"
Ryan came out and looked at the master. He had heard of this master before, but this was the first time he saw him.
Looking at the other party's tattered clothes, it seemed as if they had just been burned by fire.
"I am Ryan, Master Knox, what do you want from me?"
The moment he saw Ryan, Knox's eyes became hot and he walked towards him quickly.
"Master Ryan, leave your craftsman to me!"
He spoke almost tremblingly, fearing that Ryan would refuse.
"Brock?"
Ryan heard what the other party said and knew what was going on.
When they came to Blaze Dragon Castle, the soldiers following Ryan and Brock and others could not help but wander around in the city. Of course, there was a purpose for wandering.
Brock brother and sister often asked him about the famous craftsmen of the empire along the way.
Ryan knew that Master Knox was just one person, and Brock couldn't wait to come to this city.
"Master Knox, is there anything special about the craftsmen in Ryan's territory?"
Ellie also came over at this time, looked at Master Knox and asked.
Master Knox said with great excitement:
"Madam, do you know why I can't forge the second Legendary Weapon?"
"Because my blood and spirit were exhausted when I forged Holy Seal Battleaxe."
"But today, I met a man with the supreme talent of a craftsman, a craftsman who never tires."
"That is the highest honor for a craftsman, no other."
"As long as he has the skills and power to forge Legendary Weapon, then theoretically, he can forge Legendary Weapon embryos one after another."
"And this is the only talent that can be used to forge artifacts."
Knox's words shocked Ellie, and also surprised Ryan. He had no doubt that Brock's talent was great, but was it so outrageous?
Ryan fell silent, and it seemed that... it was not impossible. The divinity of Spirit of the Wilds's blessing from Svadilfari, in a sense, pinned the hope of that world on the two brothers and sisters.
However, looking at the master in front of him, Ryan still had a calm expression.
He looked at each other.
"Master Knox, may I ask, are you asking me for Brock to become your disciple?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't promise you."
