Count Winter Territory.
This is a territory located between two V-shaped mountains. Because of Count Winter's contribution more than thirty years ago, it occupies the most complete land in all aspects of Northwind Province, and the Earl family has risen because of this.
Count Winter and the Countess warmly received Baron Ryan from the other side of the province.
"Ryan, you are now a celebrity in the empire, and countless nobles are discussing the glory you gained in the kingdom's wars."
"Clayton Family's bloodline, you are the most prestigious noble after your father."
"Obviously, the emperor's order three years ago was worthwhile. He gave Clayton Family a new dazzling Stars."
Count Winter said this. The nobles always complimented each other like this. It was not until more than an hour later that Ryan got rid of Count Winter's probing of Zero Crossing City from time to time.
"Lord Earl, Zero Crossing City certainly welcomes the will of every noble to arrive, but that city currently has no more land to sell to you."
"But I think Viscount Miles would be happy to rent his house to you."
After Ryan finished speaking, and after reaching a certain level of consensus with the count, he also stated his intention.
"Arryris that guy?"
Count Winter frowned, and then looked at his wife.
"Frost Dragon and I are not familiar with each other. I was invited here by my wife. Five years ago, when my wife entered Northern Lands to search for magic materials, she encountered the awakening of Frost Dragon. After a transaction, she discovered that this Dragons seemed different from other Dragons."
Count Winter said with some pain that in that transaction, he spent millions of Gold Coin resources in exchange for a space-related material from Frost Dragon's private collection.
"Frost Dragon is not easy to get along with. Compared to trading, Dragons is actually better at using his powerful power to grab what he wants."
The countess described it like this, and then told Ryan Frost Dragon Arryris's origin.
"It came from the depths of Northlands. It seems to have been injured. Perhaps it was driven south during the war in Dragons."
"And there is a possibility that it may not be Dragons who was born and raised in the Norris Continent. Our world has not grown up in Dragons for a long time."
Ryan understands this. When he was still at Imperial Capital, he often heard legends about the Warriors and Evil Dragon.
Even if one percent of it is true, a huge number of Dragons cubs or young Dragons were killed.
"It came here, and then it failed to fight the owner of a certain land in Northern Lands, and finally had to live on the edge of Northlands?"
Ryan was sorting through these messages, feeling a little speechless. Dragons There are actually homeless people.
In the end, Ryan got a token, which was actually the sign of the Winter Family, which could prevent Frost Dragon from launching a direct attack.
Ryan did not leave immediately. He came here to cooperate strategically with Count Winter.
"In the next few months, I will establish a Northern Territory Merchant Guild, and the participating nobles will own shares in it. As for how much, it depends on how much effort you are willing to contribute, Lord Count."
"Northwind Province, or the land near Northlands, the wealth has never been just the mines under our feet, we can dig out even greater wealth here."
Ryan said this, Count Winter was already a little excited. After all, Northwind City is no longer under his jurisdiction. He loses tens of thousands of Gold Coin every year and needs to make up for it from other places.
"Northwind Trade Guild doesn't have too many noble members..."
Ryan's words made Count Winter make the decision. A chamber of commerce is the money bag of the nobles. You will know it after seeing the countless supplies that South's chamber of commerce of the great nobles comes and goes every year.
Staying at Earldom for two days, Ryan got the value Count Winter intended to pay.
"When the Chamber of Commerce is established, the Earl will receive the proceeds from the Chamber of Commerce according to his contribution, but I think the 20% share will not be less."
What Ryan needs most is the manpower that Count Winter will send to the Chamber of Commerce. Whether it is the extraordinary Flying Wolf Cavalry or a large number of slaves, they are all inaccessible ingredients for the birth of the Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why Ryan wants to join forces with other nobles, even including Legion Commander Farrell, to form a chamber of commerce is because the chamber of commerce cannot be established relying on Ryan alone.
In addition, he also plans to extend the tentacles of the Chamber of Commerce into Northern Lands, so a large number of manpower will inevitably be needed.
The vast sky and earth are covered with snow.
The snow eagle flying in the sky inevitably has a pair of sharp eyes, and only such eyes can help it find the fleeting food in the snow and the snow-white world.
It flew thousands of meters, but the world under its wings was still snow-white without any variegation. This made Snow Eagle a little anxious. The children at home were crying for food, and they didn't know how long they would survive.
Suddenly, its eyes saw a line of shadows on the ground.
They were shadows scattered high and low between the snow and the snow. The sun shone on the surface of the snow, thus covering the footprints covered by the snow with a layer of haze, but this could not be hidden from Snow Eagle's eyes.
It followed the line of footprints that were about to be covered and swooped down quickly, fearing that the prey in front of it would disappear under the snow the next moment.
Plop!
The sharp claws hit the hard metal, and suddenly the huge force made the Snow Eagle unbalanced. Its world spun around, and the entire Eagle was thrown into the snow. Its struggling wings fanned a large amount of snow that was not yet stiff back into the sky. The quiet world became boiling at this moment.
Brandt was about to pull out an arrow and throw it towards Snow Eagle, but was interrupted by Ryan.
"We are almost at Arryris's territory. Maybe it is watching us from under the surrounding snow."
"Let it go."
Brandt put the arrows back into the quiver on Northern Warhorse's back, and a team of hundreds of cavalry continued to move forward.
At the front, the tall Golem Puppet has turned white. Mage Luna is at the front. The wind and snow accumulate on her body, so that the soldiers behind her do not have to fight the biting cold wind.
This is the corner of Northlands. After leaving Northwind Province and entering Northern Lands, Ryan saw no more beasts than Magical Beast could count on both hands. They were all hidden in this windy and snowy world. Even the best hunter might not be able to find a snowflake deer crawling at his feet.
Boom!!!
There was a roar from the distant peaks. It was because the unbearable snow on the peaks was collapsing, turning into an avalanche and flooding the Forest below.
For the empire, Northlands World in the north is the territory of Orcs, but in fact there is a continuous buffer zone between the two sides. This buffer zone was forcibly carved out of hundreds of years of war.
Moreover, Northlands is not entirely Orcs, but the aliens of Northlands World who are further away from the human kingdom and rarely appear on the land of the human empire.
As Frost Dragon gradually approached Frost Dragon's territory, Ryan found no trace of Orcs. Obviously, Orcs was also afraid that he would become food for Dragons after he woke up.
Finally, the team came to a valley. There was no wind and snow here, but the snow was still thick. Above the frozen lake, there were sharp ice spikes hanging down from the mountain peaks. They formed a ferocious flag in the valley that no one should enter.
"Mr. Arryris."
Ryan shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward and lifted out a colorful tiger with a body length of nearly six meters. The latter's head was wrapped in linen, tied with chains, and its limbs were also locked. Five or six attendants struggled to free the huge beast from Mountain Forest World and pinned it on the frozen lake.
The tiger struggled, even the metal chain was about to break under its fangs, but soon, the tiger froze, trembling, then turned and ran away.
The cracks in the ice spread from the bottom of the mountain to the edge of the lake. Several attendants just retreated here, but they also fell down due to unsteadiness.
The sound of cracks was clear and dense, and finally countless ice cubes shattered. The huge Dragons did not spread its wings, but flew out from the depths of the lake like an arrow. Blood flowed from its huge mouth, and the tiger was swallowed by Frost Dragon.
Dragons continued to fly high into the sky, until the moment it was level with the mountain, its huge flesh wings unfolded, Dragons swooped and flew from the sky, the ice blue dragon breath from Natives's mouth refrozen the broken lake ice.
The snowy and muddy ground turned into pitiful and tidy ice at this moment. The mountain-like Dragons landed gracefully on the ice, swinging its long neck. The ferocious head was less than ten meters away from Ryan. Ryan could clearly feel the chill coming from the other person's breath, which almost froze his blood.
Suppressing the roar of the dragon that was about to erupt within his body, Ryan faced the world's top being at such a close distance for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Human, you have intruded into my territory."
Frost Dragon Arryris's voice is loud and resonant, as if there are two channels in its throat, demonstrating the majesty of Dragons.
"Dear Mr. Arryris, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. Perhaps these compensations can satisfy you."
Facing the life of Legendary and the power of Legendary, Ryan showed considerable awe. This was Dragons, the representative of the legendary tyrannical villain.
The soldiers behind him dismounted, and Northern Warhorse was also afraid of Dragons's majesty and froze in place.
They moved out the shiny boxes one by one, and Obsidian inside was reflected in Frost Dragon's dragon eyes, making the ferocious head come closer.
"Obsidian sleeps deep in the world."
Dragons roared, and a storm of frost swept through the surrounding sky. All Obsidian surrounded Dragons, and then shattered little by little, breaking into powder that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and was swallowed by Frost Dragon.
"Not enough, not enough!"
Dragons roared, and the huge body frightened Northern Warhorse, and he began to retreat. If the knights hadn't held the reins tightly, they might have lost control.
Ryan took out a yellow Golden Eagle box and slowly opened it. One of the palm-sized Obsidians had a slight blue color rippling in it, like Dragons's eyes.
"What about this piece?"
Ryan threw Obsidian and the gold box into the sky and said loudly:
"That box is the gold used by a kingdom to hold ancient crowns."
Frost Dragon gently swallowed the box into his mouth, and then his pupils turned pale, and the golden lines in them touched the blue eyes Obsidian.
The surrounding air became even colder, until a few minutes later, Dragons landed on the ground again, looking at Ryan.
"Human, I am very satisfied with your gift, and I will forgive your interruption."
Spikes of ice began to appear on the ground, spreading from Dragons's feet toward Ryan. Frost Dragon was chasing people away.
"Mr. Arryris, I bring sincerity. If you are willing to make a deal with me, maybe I can bring you more Obsidian, and more of the same Obsidian."
Roar——
With a dragon roar, a storm of frost flooded the fan-shaped earth from Dragons's mouth. Mage Luna hit the ground with both fists. The stone wall stood up to resist the wind and snow, but a layer of frost quickly spread and was about to crack.
Rose stepped forward and dropped a drop of green liquid on the ground. The next moment, the earth seemed to come alive, and the surrounding air was distorted. Finally, Dragons's roar stopped.
"Damn Alchemist."
Dragons is breathing dragon breath, Frost Dragon terrible power is about to come.
"Where is Obsidian?"
Just like Countess Winter said, Dragons usually does not make deals with others, but robs them by his own means.
"Obsidian Vein In the heart of human civilization, there are Legendary demons Mages guarding it."
The voice of Ryan sounded in the wind and snow. The power of changing the celestial phenomena brought by Dragons was too direct. Even he needed to muster his energy and blood to make a sound.
"They once made a deal with Elves and sold Obsidian to Elves, but now, they will sell part of it to me."
"Moreover, I can also bring you things other than Obsidian, such as the delicious food and the beasts favored by Deities. In another world, I can continuously deliver them to you."
When Ryan opened his eyes, Dragons's huge head had appeared one meter away from him. Next to him, Brandt and his attendants pressed their palms on the hilt of the long sword at their waist.
Qi and blood surged in the body, and Ryan finally adapted to Dragon's Might. Looking at the head with barbs like a house in front of him, Ryan's voice calmed down.
"Mr. Arryris, only I can help you bring you what you need. This is a deal that is more beneficial to you."
"Say your request, noble man of mankind."
Frost Dragon became quiet, and the surrounding sky no longer surged with the power of wind and snow. The Dragons in front of him was indeed much more humane, without the tyranny of the legendary Dragons.
"I want to trade with you..."
Ryan told Mage Luna and Grand Mage Macken what they needed, and then said:
"I will use what you want, Mr. Arryris, as a trade. In addition, there is a long-term transaction between us."
"I hope my flag can walk safely in your territory. Of course, it will never disturb your sleep."
Frost Dragon twisted his neck like Giant Serpent and looked at Ryan with his ferocious head.
"Human, you have many demands."
Ryan smiled and said:
"Of course, so I will pay you more."
Arryris is thinking. As Dragons, its wisdom is not inferior to humans.
"This is necessary."
Frost Dragon agreed to Ryan's transaction and handed one Dragon Scale to Ryan.
Ryan is surprised, this Dragons is quite well behaved.
After reaching the deal, Ryan immediately set off back to Frozen Earth Territory. Arryris told him that he would wake up in a month and that the two parties would conduct a transaction on that day.
"As you wish."
On the way back, Ryan finally no longer suppressed the power in his blood, and the low dragon's roar echoed on the surface of his body.
"If it finds out that my blood contains Dragon Heart, will it lead to revenge?"
Ryan asked Rose. After thinking about it, the latter thought it was very possible.
"Dragons are not harmonious with each other, but facing Dragon Slayer who killed Dragons, they will have infinite malice."
Rose was talking about the description in the book, because it was also the first time for him to see Dragons. In ordinary times and in ordinary planes, how could it be so ordinary to see a top life like Dragons.
"It seems that I need to have less direct contact with him."
Ryan can no longer suppress the energy and blood in his body. The power of Dragon Heart has reached the most critical moment. It is burning and will integrate all the power in Ryan's body and turn it into a ladder to become Sky Knight.
Returning to Frozen Earth Territory, Ryan rushed to Thundercloud County non-stop. He needed to harvest his own Gold Mine. After so long, he still couldn't rest assured that the gold was left in Otherworld.
We also need to catch food for Frost Dragon. It seems that Dragons doesn't like eating the carcasses of dead prey.
"Do we also need to make a good breeding plan?"
Ryan stood in front of the Otherworld Plane portal, thinking about this problem, and then the moment he entered Forest Otherworld, he heard countless deafening roars coming from Mountain Forest from all directions.
"What happened?"
Like Ryan, many people came in through the opened portal. At this moment, they all gathered around Ryan in fear.
In the distance, a knight rushed towards here quickly, and his body was stained with large amounts of blood.
"The monster, the monster appeared again. It ate the Magic Crystal Mine we were mining. Most of the Magic Crystal Mine were eaten by it. More than 600 mining slaves died."
The knight said with lingering fear. He only saw a huge shadow submerging the mountain peak, and did not see the appearance of the monster. After telling Ryan what he knew, he left here and reported to the Marquis's Mother.
"Eat most of Magic Crystal Mine in one bite?"
Ryan It's strange that this kind of thing happens again and again. Does that guy feel that the world is accelerating towards the end?
He looked around and saw that the mountains on all sides of the front door were almost bare. After Ryan had the foresight to harvest a large amount of firewood last year, other nobles also learned their lesson. At the beginning of this year, a large number of people were arranged to cut down trees and dry them into firewood.
Moreover, it focuses on a comprehensive cleanup, cutting off everything regardless of thickness. The nobles have no mercy for this world that is destined to die.
