"Ryan?"

Ryan didn't need to move, people with vision would naturally come to him, but Ryan didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance.

"You are...Jovan."

Ryan was a little surprised. Jovan Dean was the heir of the empire Deane Viscount Family. He was neither the eldest son nor the second son. Of course he was not qualified to obtain any rights. It could be said that he had almost the same status as Ryan back then.

Eating and waiting to die, living a peaceful life with the wealth given to him by some family profits.

The two were considered friends, but in the past, it could be said that every heir of a noble family like them was friends with each other.

So, it's not close.

Jovan looked at Ryan who was gorgeously dressed and had guards beside him in shock.

Of course he knew what Ryan was doing. He went to the poorest and most miserable place in Northlands to become a Baron. In the past, there were many jokes about Ryan in the circle.

But Jovan knows that the reason why those people never forget Ryan who left is because they are envious.

Baron Ah, the nobles of the empire, no matter what, Ryan their future is different.

They laugh simply because they think this is the only way to make themselves superior.

"Look, that Ryan who is just like us went to the poorest and coldest border of the empire and became a Baron. It's so miserable."

How disdainful Ryan is on the surface, but how unwilling and envious he is on the inside.

But now, Jovan looked at Ryan's appearance, and there was no hint of Northlands's appearance of being ravaged by the wind and snow into a embarrassed barbarian. He knew that those people were not qualified to even express superficial jokes and disdain.

Jovan has grown up. He is one or two years older than Ryan, so he knows that there is a huge difference between his identity and Ryan.

Nobles... Once Baronet System is implemented, the status of the fifth-class nobles will be even higher. At that time, they will not even have the qualifications to see Ryan.

Thinking of this, Jovan felt a little bitter and reserved. In the Dean family, he was not favored because of his poor talent. The wealth shared by the family could only allow him to maintain a normal life. If he wanted to live a better life, he could only work hard...

The Dean family is not considered rich, and because it has been passed down for too many years, many rights cannot be inherited by even the children of today's viscount.

If they could, then couldn't their grandfather's children, their father's brothers? What about their grandfather's brother?

Aren't they all the biological sons of more ancient nobles?

"Ryan...Baron, do you want to join Magic Academy?"

Jovan smiled, as if he had forgotten the previous relationship with Ryan.

"Jovan, you don't have to do this."

Ryan sighed and then spoke.

"Do you know which Mages among the Magic Academy are good at training mounts? Especially war horses."

Listening to Ryan's inquiry, Jovan was a little confused and did not dare to make a bold guess. He could only pretend to be cheerful and speak truthfully.

"Ryan, Magic Academy, there is no Mages that is good at what you said, there is, and there is only one."

Jovan raised his hand and pointed at a tall tower. Ryan looked over and saw that the tall tower was completely dark red and was incompatible with the Magic Academy building.

"Grand Mage Macken rejected Imperial House's invitation three times. He was unwilling to go to Highland Mage Tower, so he became the only Mages among the Magic Academy who is good at beast Life Potion."

"But..."

Jovan looked at Ryan with some embarrassment.

"Ryan You should understand that if many Mages cannot stay with the Mage Academy and rely on Grand Mage after graduation, then it is best to become a vassal of a noble and worship them."

"And the nobles all want to get the Life Potion worn by war horses. If you can learn something from Grand Mage Macken, the demon Mages will be very popular among the nobles after graduation."

"Even before they graduate, nobles will come to their door."

"So, if you want to see Grand Mage Macken, even if you are an apprentice within the Magic Academy, it will be difficult. If you want to see him..."

Not every magician will do it for powerful power and spells. There are many magicians from poor backgrounds in the magic academy. They are very precocious, so they understand that their talents are not high, so pursuing benefits becomes the only option left.

Of course the nobles want to own expensive war horses on their own, so of course Magic Academy's Mage Apprentice or assistants are also willing to learn in this regard.

But obviously, Grand Mage Macken, who would refuse the invitation of Imperial House and other big nobles, is not a person who is blind to money.

"Is there any way you can let Grand Mage Macken see me?"

Ryan asked, but took a step back after hesitating.

"Just let him know that I want to see him. Not to mention that he was bred for war horses."

Jovan also hesitated. He was just an intermediary. In addition to the owners of dozens of towers, there were many magicians in the magic academy that he was not qualified to see. Ryan's requirements were a bit too high for him.

"One hundred Gold Coin, whether it succeeds or not, if you can let me see that Grand Mage, I will give you another two hundred Gold Coin."

This price is undoubtedly high, but who makes Magic Academy the only one who can meet the requirements of Ryan.

"Ryan, how about... I will help you contact an assistant of Grand Mage Macken, who is Magus."

Jovan said still hesitantly.

"That Magus, can it meet my requirements?"

Jovan stopped talking. The reason why he was sure that the answer Ryan wanted could only be obtained from Grand Mage Macken was because that Grand Mage had a weird personality. The other people in Mage Tower were just tools, and no one became a disciple of Grand Mage.

So, he couldn't be sure.

"I..."

The gap between him and Grand Mage was still too big, but looking at each other, Ryan still understood the difficulty.

"Forget it, one hundred Gold Coin, help me contact that Magus, and I'll talk to him."

"Really?"

Jovan's eyes widened immediately, and then he quickly left with joy and ran towards the door of the Magic Academy.

It seems that these intermediaries are also recognized by the Magic Academy.

Soon, Ryan saw a woman with fluffy hair, as if she had just woken up.

But Ryan is more inclined to think that this woman hasn't slept for many days, and her eyes between the dark circles don't have much energy.

"Sister Yelena, this is Baron Ryan, a... powerful noble. He has the blood of the Count Clayton Family."

Jovan tried his best to put Ryan in the best light, although in his heart he didn't feel that Ryan could do anything in a place like Frozen Earth Territory.
