"This is... your territory?"

Grand Mage Macken, who had climbed mountains and ridges and traveled long distances, saw with his own eyes that the world around him was becoming more and more deserted. After enduring it all the way, Grand Mage Macken finally stood on the cliff and looked at Frozen Earth Territory in front of him in shock.

The flying snow in the sky submerged the entire earth and covered it with snow, but in the middle of this white snow, there was a boiling and colorful world.

Looking down from their position, the entire Frozen Earth Territory is well-proportioned, close to the exquisite stone houses under the Rhino Horn Mountain. Each stone house is like a fortress manor. The streets are crisscrossed without any mess, and each street is very wide. They can clearly see the pedestrians walking on it even from hundreds of meters away.

Even the wooden house has two floors, and every area has one or two tall buildings, attracting dozens and hundreds of people.

At the same time, looking down from a high position, the entire town, no, it was just a city without walls, it was so big and scary.

This is simply like a paradise, far away from the various noble territories of Northwind Province, but it is developing very well on its own.

At this moment, Grand Mage Macken, Shawkat and others finally understood why Ryan went to South for nothing but food.

With such a large population, it would be really troublesome if there was not enough food.

"This is Frozen Earth Territory, Grand Mage Macken. I told you you won't be disappointed."

After saying that, Ryan looked at Shawkat.

"Mr. Shawkat, I think Melendez Family will not be disappointed either."

Shawkat was stunned. Yes, with such a territory, how could Northlands be disappointed? This territory is no worse than the territory of the viscount nobles.

He remembered that this Ryan·Clayton had been here at Northlands for less than two years, right?

At this moment, what he was thinking about was not Frozen Earth Territory, but Viscount Melendez Family.

Avril is just the youngest daughter of a viscount. Strictly speaking, if Ryan has such territory and strength, there is no problem marrying the eldest daughter of a viscount, or even the daughter of an earl. No, it should be said that Ryan, who has such a territory, has been able to avoid many comments about being a good match.

Ryan looked at Shawkat's expression and seemed to notice something. He waved his hand and said:

"Although I only got along with Miss Avril for half a day, I have been deeply attracted by Miss Avril's kindness."

What a joke, Frozen Earth Territory has so many secrets, and Ryan really doesn't want to marry an ancestor. What will happen when the noble behind the other party falls in love with the Northlands he developed? As an in-law, if Ryan refuses directly, he will lose a lot of reputation in Noble Circle's family.

Avril is very good. His family background is Viscount Melendez, Calais Province noble. At the same time, his identity is not that important. In the future, he can wholeheartedly assist his Frozen Earth Territory development.

"Sorry Baron Ryan, I will ask the Viscount to make some compensation to you after I return."

Shawkat obviously still feels that Ryan has suffered a loss in this marriage.

If two families get married and one party suffers a loss, it is not a good thing for both parties. Melendez Family must make up for it.

Soon, Ryan appeared under Rhino Horn Mountain.

"Lord Ryan, you are back."

The Viscountess came to Ryan respectfully. The tight-fitting cheongsam-like dress rounded off the front and back of her body.

Shawkat looked at the Viscountess in surprise.

"Are you a noble?"

Nobles are different from ordinary people, because the language, temperament, tone, and even the subtle movements and behaviors cultivated from childhood are very different from ordinary people. As a member of the Melendez Family and the younger brother of the Viscount, Shawkat can certainly see the temperament of the Viscountess that is completely different from others.

The Viscountess raised her head, looked at the stranger in front of her and then at Ryan, lowered her head and shook.

"I am the female officer of Lord Ryan."

She thought with some shame in her heart:

"Only in certain places and times can I be a noble."

In Baron's Castle, Ryan called the butler Bilder who was still outside.

"Mr. Shawkat will rest at Frozen Earth Territory for two days. Then you will bring some Frozen Earth Territory specialties and go to the Melendez Family on behalf of me and Mr. Shawkat."

Bilder already knew what was going on on the way here, and agreed with some excitement.

"I will never let your in-laws underestimate my master's status."

After saying that, he couldn't help but put aside his identity as a butler and said:

"Father will be very happy if he knows that you are finally getting married."

"That old guy."

There was a trace of reminiscence in Ryan's eyes. This winter, even after returning to Calais Province, the warm South, Old Steward still couldn't survive it.

"You will really grow up from now on."

Ryan patted Bilder on the shoulder and said. This young man, who was only a little older than Ryan, lowered his head and his eyes were slightly red.

"From now on, I will be the master's butler."

"I heard that you are already in love with the daughter of Lordship."

Ryan joked.

In the afternoon when he returned to the territory, Ryan didn't have much leisure time.

"This winter is not over yet, and the blizzards are still continuing. If this continues, even if we use greenhouses to insulate our farmland, a lot of land will be damaged."

After getting this answer, Ryan had a headache. He found Yelena, who was also a Magus, a genius.

"Yelena Mages, can your magic maintain the fertility of the land?"

"Or let me put it another way, can your research or magical means change the activity of the land, or cultivate a brand new seed that can withstand the cold?"

"I believe you can do it."

At the end, Ryan took out a large amount of Magic Crystal and placed it in front of Yelena Mages, which made the genius Magus's eyes widen at once.

"I... try to try?"

Yelena swallowed, Frozen Earth Territory saw such a huge fortune, who could resist it.

"At most half a month, Frozen Earth Territory will open up wasteland for farming. Can it be completed in this time?"

Ryan asked hopefully, which undoubtedly made Yelena roll his eyes.

"Baron Ryan, you really think it doesn't take any time for me to be promoted to Legendary."

"It's definitely not enough in half a month. If it doesn't go well, it will be difficult to complete in a year or two?"

"One or two years?..."

Ryan turned and left with a stiff face.

Snap!

That night, Ryan's slap collided particularly hard with the naked skin of a certain female official, and the blood-red mark was immediately revealed.

"It actually takes such a long time, one or two years. Even if we can cultivate terraced wasteland, is it possible that we still need to buy food from outside?"

There was a bang, and Ryan looked at the cracked bed speechlessly.

"It's just my first day back..."

He admitted that the force he used was a bit too much.

"Forget it, let's change it tomorrow."

As he said that, he moved his delicate body directly to the carpet.
