The addition of hounds and wolves adds a lot of contradictions to Frozen Earth Territory, which is inevitable. Both hounds and wolves have extreme ways of treating life and death.
However, for now, this contradiction has not spread.
Standing high at the foot of the mountain, Ryan could see at a glance the open space in front of him surrounded by mountains on three sides. Countless stones had been piled up there, and the muddy soil mixed with the turbid water settled in the depressions on the ground.
Tens of thousands of people shuttled through this open space, filling many ravines with soil and stones mixed with mud.
Building a city is something that is simple to say but very troublesome to do. It is indeed a pile of buildings from the ground, but at the same time, it is also a battlefield where people can die. Especially Ryan also requires that the city needs ditches to help rain and snow water flow out quickly, as well as clean floors and standard houses.
"It will take at least a month to consolidate the land, and it will take about twenty days to start construction."
The land of Northlands is already hard enough. In the extraordinary world, even the soil needs to be involuted to survive, but Rose still feels that it will take a month and a half before it can officially start.
"Don't worry, that world still has a long life, and you don't need to focus entirely on building a city."
"Hound Deity is our goal at this stage."
After Ryan finished speaking, he looked at Rose and asked:
"Are you prepared? To deal with Deities, our actions are blasphemous."
"If you don't do it right, you may end up with the same ending as Andara Royal House."
To put it bluntly, there is an essential reason why so many conflicts broke out in the Andara Kingdom. It is because Old King ruined the royal family's Extraordinary Legion, and the royal bloodline was cursed by Deities and lost its extraordinary abilities.
"There are not many records about Deities about the place where I used to be, but there are countless secrets buried in the shadows that Deities wants to know."
Rose said, the group of demons Mages is definitely the most studied extraordinary group of Deities, and this is especially true for the demons Mages who are good at dark element magic.
"In the oldest records of Shadow Church, methods to kill Deities were discussed."
"There are three conditions in total. The first condition is to extinguish His origin."
"If his origin cannot be extinguished, the great being has endless energy and cannot be killed."
"The second condition is to fight for His origin."
"The origin will not disappear because of Deities. On the contrary, Deities becomes Great Being because of the origin."
"Take the initiative to snatch it, so that Deities cannot take back his power."
"The third condition is to kill Him."
"No matter what method you use, the last step is to kill Him with a knife, a long sword, fire, water, or any weapon you have at your disposal."
This is the deepest secret recorded by Shadow Church. They hide the records of killing Deities.
"The first condition does not require us to fulfill it."
"War of the Deities Across Planes is over. Hound Deity has long been weak. He must have no source of power. Those two arenas are the reason to maintain his existence. Those Soul Crystal are the evidence. He is using this method to survive."
"The second condition..."
Ryan hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said firmly.
"I can solve the second condition."
Spirituality Panel can intercept even Legendary Boon. There is no reason why Divine Essence cannot be competed for, especially since the probability of Hound Deity belonging to a spirit is greater than that of belonging to a god.
"Then, there is only one last condition left."
Rose took a deep breath, he was excited, excited, and could kill Deities directly.
"I need to prepare, using what I have learned throughout my life, and the reasons why I embarked on the path of an alchemist."
Rose turned around and walked away, while Ryan returned to Rhino Horn Mountain. After learning about the events of the past few days, he headed to Otherworldly Plane.
In Skala City, Ryan sent hundreds of scouts to the land submerged in ice and snow in the North, looking for the world's ancient heritage. In this city, in another the Forest city, the speed of mining Gold Mine and silver mines is also accelerating.
The open-air arena outside the city has also become a way for Ryan to change the people of Gam.
They are too keen on blood and death, and long for the sublimation of the soul, which is too detrimental to Ryan.
The cruel way of thinking also makes it difficult for the people of Gam to integrate into Frozen Earth Territory. Even the fanatical Bilki bear people who serve Frost Lord are not willing to get too close to them.
This will be a long process that may require a new generation to become the main body before it can be changed.
Ryan will not deny this decision because of time. At this moment, he is thinking about using Gold Mine under Skala City, wondering whether he can open the door to the land of South.
Injecting the wealth of Northlands into the land of South makes Northlands no longer just a broad directional description, but a symbol.
Economic warfare is a very simple matter. The first step is to block other people's military actions. The second step is to win over people's hearts with more affordable prices.
It's that simple, but these two steps are also an extension of politics.
The nobles have absolute rights to the territory, but Ryan must first gain the right to speak politically.
"Now, I am somewhat famous in the land of South. The war in the kingdom made them recognize my strength, but this is too far away after all."
Standing on the Skala City wall, Ryan looked at the vast world and thought.
Distance is always a beautiful word.
If the distance is too far, many people or objects will have filters.
The distance also widened the relationship. So what if Ryan is Northlands's most powerful noble? For many nobles in South, Northlands is a world they will never see in their lifetime.
Northlands's Baron is a noble they will never see in their lifetime.
This makes Ryan's words not too important to them.
"We must shorten the distance between the two parties. At least when they meet, there will be topics that arise between them."
"A little bit of communication and a little bit of distance will increase my voice in the land of South, and I will have the opportunity to obtain more wealth and resources."
Can Ryan give up the land of South and only develop in Northlands? This is impossible. First of all, the resources on South's land are absolutely superior to those of Northlands that need to compete with Orcs in the wind and snow. The most obvious one is food. Do you expect Northlands that is flooded by wind and snow to grow food that countless people can eat?
Just like Northlands has Northlands's resources, South's land can also breed resources that belong exclusively to South, which Ryan needs very much.
At the same time, as the nobles of Northlands and Northwind Province, Ryan is still in the human circle and the empire circle. He is the lord of a land and he is the ruler.
He stands on the ladder of power, so he himself is a member of politics and cannot escape or avoid it.
The nobles of Northwind Province have little say, so with the overall support of the empire's defense Orcs this time, Northwind Province seems to have been abandoned and only received a little help.
There is no more support, because the Empire does not care about Northwind Province, there is nothing here that the Emperor and nobles consider essential.
Northwind Province has the most abundant Iron Ore resources in the empire, but it must be understood that Florian Empire relied on military strength to expel the Church.
After Ryan became famous at a young age, Northwind Province is still treated like this, which means it is not enough.
Ryan's right to speak is not enough.
He can affect Northwind, Sera Kingdom and Andara Kingdom, but this is not enough.
"I have to write a letter and go to the Melendez Family."
Ryan needs to use various methods to increase his status in the empire and his voice in South land.
Marriage with the Melendez Family is the simplest and most effective way. This is how nobles increase their influence, and Ryan does not reject it.
Well, the main thing is that he does not reject the marriage partner Avril·Melendez Family.
Lord Ryan still has its own views and aesthetics.
Blade Rose Territory.
This is the territory of the count, the most dazzling countess in the empire.
Speaking of which, Ryan is still related to the countess. Count Clayton's first wife Ellie·Fleming is the countess' sister. Ryan calls her mother, so Blade Rose Countess is also Ryan's elder.
Avril·Melendez Family is now helping the countess perfect the magic medicine garden in this Earldom.
Avril shuttled through the huge garden, with her platinum-blonde hair draped over her shoulders. The women around her couldn't help but look envious. As they gradually walked deeper into the garden, the surrounding environment became darker. It seemed that even the light could not completely illuminate the place. The person guarding here was no longer a servant, but a warrior whose eyes were shrouded in armor.
There are both men and women. In the territory of Countess Blade Rose, there are many women who have become the bodyguards of the countess, which is also a characteristic of the empire.
However, on the Abyss Hell Demons battlefield, Demons people will not show mercy because of human gender. Over the years, the number of female knights under the countess has been getting smaller and smaller.
The ground beneath her feet gradually turned dark, and with every step she took, Ice Crystal condensed under Avril's feet. This was the reason why she protected her Magic Power from being eroded by Abyss's land.
"Avril You are here."
In the distance, a girl beckoned happily, magic formations filled the void, and gray trees grew on the dark land in front of her.
The name of these trees is Nasia, a plant that grows in Abyss. The mere condition of living in Abyss proves its rarity. In addition, Naxia Tree has another name, Silver Magic Tree.
Its food can be many things, but its favorite nutrient is silver.
The silver is buried under Naxia Tree. Every year, the pomegranate-like fruit seeds that grow out after Naxia Tree matures are Mithril that make people crazy.
Gold and silver are the magic media that magicians need. At the same time, fine gold is called the best magic circulation material, and mithril is called the best magic resistance material.
The best does not mean the best, but because this substance has standard production and universality among substances with the same effect.
Count Clayton initially supported Ryan with three pieces of Mithril Armor because Ryan, who was on the path of Transcendent Knight, might have limited means when facing the magic Mages. Mithril will alleviate this and eliminate part of the power of magic.
Avril is responsible for weaving the magic circle of Naxia Tree. Together with her, there are fifteen graduated and preparing to graduate magic Mages who are also from the Magic Academy.
In any other place, each of them would be a noble Mages master, but in such a circle, they are just students. Sometimes they have to go to Earldom other places to ask those more powerful demons Mages about the problems they encounter.
"In a few days, these magic arrays will be completely stable. How did you come up with the magic array engraved on Naxia Tree's skin, Avril?"
The girl asked curiously. She was also a demon Mages, but she felt that her brain was not able to turn the corner.
Hearing this question, Avril couldn't help but laugh.
"Actually, I didn't create this. There is a book in the Magic Academy written by Russell Legendary Mage. When he was traveling Northlands, he saw a kind of snake flying in the void. The Magical Beast named Void Feather Fish carved magic patterns on its scales so that they could float in the air."
"Is there any more Magical Beast like this?"
The girl next to me was surprised, and then said:
"Avril How come you read a book about Northlands?"
Then she opened her eyes wide, narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"Avril You must be missing your fiancé. I heard that he fought the Legendary war in the North's Andara Kingdom some time ago."
"You're in such a hurry, I guess you want to go?"
"Yeah."
Avril's face was a little hot, but he still held his neck and said firmly.
"When these magic formations stabilize, Lord Earl said that he will give me ten trees to raise here, and I can produce one hundred kilograms of Mithril every year."
"Ten trees?"
The girl next to her opened her eyes wide and looked a little sour. As students of the Magic Academy, they were not so many.
"I envy you, being born into a landed noble."
The girl was a little depressed. Her family was in decline. She often couldn't help herself but also couldn't get the attention of other nobles.
Avril didn't say anything. In fact, she also understood that the reason why Master Blade Rose Countess gave ten trees was because of the marriage between her family and Count Clayton Family.
Melendez Family doesn't have such a big reputation, but the relationship between the Grand Duke Fleming Family and Count Clayton Family has always been very good.
The countess was born in the Grand Duke Fleming Family, and Ryan is the bloodline of the Clayton Family.
On a smaller scale, this marriage is between a Northlands's Baron and a South's Viscount family on the land. On a larger scale, this marriage also represents Melendez Family entered the political power circle within the empire, headed by the Grand Duke Fleming Family and Count Clayton Family. In the future power class of the empire, these nobles will firmly stand on the same front.
Many people find it unreasonable, because Ryan is not the successor of Count Clayton. If a non-heir marries the daughter of the Melendez Family, there should not be such a close connection.
But Avril knows the reason. Behind this matter lies the long-term political vision of the nobles.
With the rise of Count Clayton in the empire, Clayton Family needs to expand, just like Grand Duke Fleming. In addition to the Grand Duke Fleming Family, there are also great nobles like Blade Rose Count Family.
Empire Four Grand Dukes, but who doesn't know that under the bloodline of Four Grand Dukes, there are many nobles who have formed a circle with their surname as the core?
If Count Clayton Family wants to take a step forward and become Fifth Grand Duke of the empire, such expansion is inevitable.
Baron Ryan was not important at the beginning, but when Ryan made achievements in Northlands, and all the great nobles in the empire did not reach out to Northlands, Ryan's status in the Clayton Family bloodline system increased a lot.
He went from being a heir that the count paid little attention to to becoming an inseparable member of the Clayton Family.
These are all things that happened under the political struggle of the empire. The declining nobles cannot see it, and Avril will not tell this friend, lest she will be even more troubled.
For Avril herself, she actually didn't want to know so much, because this marriage has lost its original and purest beauty in such a political atmosphere.
However, she is the daughter of a nobleman. He is proud of it and bears it.
Just like the friend in front of me, if the other party were to replace me as the daughter of a powerful noble family, I am afraid that the other party would be willing to do so ten thousand times.
Avril It's just that while I understand, I have some fantasies in my heart that I want them all.
That is a wish that the great Deities himself cannot achieve.
"By the end of this year, I will go to Northlands."
Avril thought this way and couldn't help but feel nervous. After completing this year's magic pattern maintenance, Avril's mission was also over.
After leaving the garden, she received a family letter from the maid.
When he opened it, Avril opened his mouth in surprise.
"How could it be so fast?"
The friend next to her came over. As a declining noble, she needed to help her family understand what the real nobles were doing.
Anything, big or small, is information that the declining nobles need to seize.
"It's nothing, I just got it right."
Avril smiled, there is nothing that cannot be said.
"In half a month, I will go to Frozen Earth Territory to become my Baroness."
"My father sent someone to deliver a letter. He will go together, and Mr. Count Clayton will also go to attend his son's wedding."
Avril raised his feet and left. The lonely noble girl stood there in shock, her mouth wide open.
Frozen Earth Territory and Ryan also received letters the next day.
"It's ahead of schedule..."
Ryan is sure that this will not be his fault. The only thing that can advance this time is that the earl's father has received and responded to the letter he wrote to the Count Clayton Family before.
He asked the other party if there was any big killer weapon that he could sell to his son, and there was only one requirement. The big killer weapon should be powerful enough to kill a weakened Deities.
