"Bang!"
Kaan hammered the table. Unfortunately, he was not extraordinary and could not do anything to the solid wood table. However, his anger would not be diminished by such a scene. The servants around him were trembling and kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to make any move.
"This damn Baron Ryan."
One million Gold Coin was handed over to Ryan, which made Kaan extremely heartbroken. A part of this huge wealth should have belonged to him, but now it is all gone.
When he is alone, he is always so angry, but he is not a person who yells. The aristocratic self-cultivation is fully demonstrated in him. Even at this moment, some maids are obsessed with Kaan's emotions, allowing them to explore the great mysteries of life in themselves.
After a long time, Kaan calmed down and showed the wisdom of a noble.
"How could Chrysus want to control Northwind Province by buying Ryan? He made a mistake. I can see that Ryan has the ambition of a great noble in his eyes."
"If it hadn't been for me, the loss would have been not just one million Gold Coin, but one and a half million Gold Coin."
"If Clayton Family hadn't worked hard over the years to become Fifth Grand Duke, I'm afraid he would have tried every means to turn Baron Ryan into Count Ryan."
"The prestige of killing Orc King..."
Kaan was still thinking when he heard the servant's voice.
Not long after, Kaan appeared in his study, where there was already another handsome middle-aged man, who was flipping through the books brought by Kaan. His elegant gray hair with faint blue hair represented his noble status in the Meyers bloodline.
"Chrysus, why are you here so quickly?"
"Uncle, this is my father's test for me, of course I will come."
Chrysus·Meyers, the successor of the Grand Duke, it was his suggestion that made the nobles understand that Mayers Grand Ducal Family and Elector Volvo·Columbus were mixed together.
"I can solve it here."
Kaan looked at Chrysus, and he thought this was the future Grand Duke's distrust of his abilities.
"Don't worry, uncle. I won't doubt your loyalty. It's just that you can't bear the anger of Count Pascal when it comes to light faith."
"Count Pascal is in Northwind Province?"
Kaan was shocked, but the next moment he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, Chrysus knew his uncle better than Kaan, so he smiled and did not blame him.
"Look, uncle, I said that one million Gold Coin is not enough. Although you walked into Northwind Province, the nobles still trust Baron Ryan more. They will not even tell you that Count Pascal has appeared in that wonder."
"Those damn guys!"
Kaan was a little angry, he didn't even know about this.
"It's just... why did Count Pascal come in person?"
When Kaan was talking, he was still a little afraid. None of the great nobles in the empire was a fuel-efficient lamp, especially those ancient nobles. They were the founders of the empire. They witnessed the rise and fall of the Sun, and enjoyed the glory from Dawn to Twilight. Eternal Night also exuded dazzling light.
The pen that writes history is in their hands, and they also hold the sword that can kill anyone.
Kaan is a member of the Mayers Family, but he is not an archduke, and his status is far from that of Count Pascal.
"He accepted Your Majesty's order, just like Commander Farrell, the newly rising flying wing of the empire, for the future of Flor."
Chrysus's words made Kaan frown, and he was so weak that he started to sweat.
He is here for Flor's future, so Meyers's position seems shaky.
"His Majesty the Emperor can become the noble emperor of the empire, and his methods are certainly not comparable to ours."
"But it doesn't matter, this matter will not affect Prince Volvo."
"Send Prince Volvo away first."
Chrysus sighed and said, if Volvo hadn't been involved in Northwind Province's fight, he wouldn't have wanted to come to this cold place. Meyers still needed the power of Elector.
The next day, Ryan also learned the news that the successor of Meyers had arrived at Northwind Province. He was very surprised, but felt that it was reasonable.
"Other than the Grand Duke, the only one who can command Kaan is the future Grand Duke."
With the arrival of Chrysus, one thing about Northwind Province was quickly solved, that is, the problem of Iron Ore needed to rebuild West Coast Fleet.
Rebuilding the maritime fleet certainly requires more than just metal. After Volvo solves the problem here, it needs to rush to the next place.
As for how Chrysus helped Volvo, it was also very simple. The emperor promised Northwind Province to hand over the taxes for the next thirty years to Meyers.
Chrysus, on the other hand, will reduce the taxes of the Northwind Province nobles for the next five years.
It was that simple, and the nobles agreed, including Ryan.
"This land has experienced a tragic war, and the light has saved the people on the land."
Chrysus did not cancel the tax imposed by the Light on the nobles. This was not something he could decide. However, the arrival of Count Pascal made the nobles need to have more faith in the Light.
Emperor Flor wants to move Northwind Province's last thing that he misses, that bright wonder, and the bright faith that belongs to this land. This process requires huge financial and material resources.
Count Pascal will pay the bulk, but the rest is still huge.
Because——
"He wants the entire spectacle to fly?"
Ryan opened his eyes wide and his breathing became rapid. He never expected that it would be so simple and crude.
But indeed, nothing is more shocking than this.
It's just that the spectacle was originally proposed by Ryan. He knew very well that the spectacle was actually an aristocratic park with beautiful scenery and was not cold Northlands. Because it was not confused with dust, it looked dazzling and was called a spectacle.
Strictly speaking, it is a park, a fortress-like park with walls. It is huge and is part of this land.
Let the wonders fly...
"In this extraordinary world, are your thoughts so Pegasus?"
To achieve this step, first of all, what is needed is a large amount of magic Mages, a large amount of magic array patterns.
Levitation Stone is indispensable, and only the demons Mages can make such artificial Miracle appear.
"What are you doing?"
Just when Ryan was trying his best to avoid being involved, the people from the east Sera Kingdom once again made Ryan feel overwhelmed.
The war between the Six Great King Courts and the Empire is finally over. The Empire has turned around, and the Church has also inherited its previous anger.
Andara Kingdom's defeat, especially the heavy losses of the Feather Dragon Legion, caused the Church to suffer huge losses, but the Church could not retreat. They were the ones being challenged, and taking a step back would be a huge step for Abyss. Countless nobles in the land of South would start to think about whether to join the empire or the Church.
Andara Kingdom has become the first to eat the crab, the Church is not allowed to appear second, and even the first one must be killed.
So, friction occurs.
Because the war between the Andara Kingdom and Rhino Orcs is still going on, in the face of the righteousness of the race between humans and Orcs, the Church does not dare to add insult to injury too openly.
But it doesn't mean that the Church has no other options. You must know that even without the relationship between the Church and the empire, there are still irreconcilable grievances between the Sera Kingdom and Andara Kingdom.
For the Andara Kingdom, the royal family MacReynolds of the Sera Kingdom is a traitor who betrayed the monarch.
Similarly, the nobles of the Sera Kingdom will definitely fight against the Andara Kingdom, because only in this way can they prove that they are victorious and just.
Andara Kingdom is also a betrayal of MacReynolds. The lord's absolute ownership of the territory was destroyed by the Andara Kingdom.
This last one is actually the reason why many nobles in the land of South did not ostracize Sera Royal House on a large scale. With the help of the Church, the nobles were very sympathetic. MacReynolds almost lost his territory because of King.
The kingdom belongs to King, and the territory and land belong to the noble lords. According to the laws of the noble territories, they are sacrosanct and inviolable.
When the Church was at its peak, Deities was qualified to deprive the nobility of their identity and power over the land. After the rise of the empire, it showed the attitude of the nobility to have eternal power over their land.
In short, the people from the Sera Kingdom arrived to inform him, the great nobleman in the Sera Kingdom, about the plans for the kingdom according to the rules.
Due to various reasons, there is a lot of conflict between the nobles of the Sera Kingdom and Andara Kingdom. This conflict is erupting under the instigation of the Church.
War, no, border friction, is happening.
For the Sera Kingdom and Andara Kingdom, this is for the benefit of their two kingdoms, while for the Church, it is to use this matter to target Florian Empire.
Finally, as far as Ryan is concerned...
"There are too many things going on."
"So many things that can cause chaos in the world have come together. The outcome of any one thing may trigger a South war."
"Can these guys who stand at the pinnacle of power really master it?"
Ryan is writing all the experiences during this period in his study.
The first thing is the Northwind Province major noble territories and the hundreds of thousands of Orcs that still exist on the land within the province.
The second thing is Meyers and Northwind Province, his nobles Ryan and Northwind Province.
The third thing is Meyers and Elector Volvo, Emperor Flor and Count Pascal and Faith of Light.
The fourth thing, Andara Kingdom and Sera Kingdom.
The fifth thing, theocracy and Royal Authority, the empire and the Church.
Five things are five huge spider webs, some big and some small. Ryan works hard to find his own place in them.
But it's not just these five things, these things are all major events in his circle. Under these five big networks, there is also Ryan's own small network, politics, economy, and military.
Collaborating with nobles and forming gangs, it's not nice to hear but it's the truth; the development of the Northern Territory Merchant Guild, the expansion of the Northern Kingdom's Braveheart Guild; and most importantly, the development and growth of Frozen Earth Territory itself, the training of the army, the construction of fortress defense lines, and the establishment of the planned Great Wall of the Northlands.
Internal and external work intertwined to form his Ryan world. This large net was no longer flat, but twisted and three-dimensional, forming a huge ball that surrounded him.
If he was just an ordinary person without great talent, he would probably be suffocated.
Fortunately, he is not ordinary.
"No one can destroy my interests..."
In the study, the flame on Ryan's hand burned the writing into Ash. Some things were written down in a small notebook, while others could only be buried deep in my heart.
"Let's peel off the cocoons and solve them one by one."
The huge number of Orcs in the province are specially reserved to deal with the outside world and cannot be cleared in a short time.
Mayers Family's purpose in this land Ryan now has no idea. Before he knew it, Ryan couldn't find the direction to attack Meyers.
In Ryan's view, the matter between Elector and Emperor Flor involves a struggle for that position. According to the historical experience and lessons he has known, there is not much benefit in getting involved, at least for now, he cannot control it with his weight.
Divine power and Royal Authority, now Ryan has no choice but to go with the flow and quietly watch the flow of the world.
"When you can't find a direction, use the elimination method to eliminate the most difficult options."
"There is always one answer left."
Ryan's eyes once again looked at the two kingdoms to the east of Northwind Province.
His eyes seemed to become clearer, and it didn't make much sense to cling to the connection between the nobles and him Ryan. The key was how many nobles took the initiative to approach.
This requires Ryan to activate his own charm attributes.
"It's a pity that spirituality cannot be added directly."
Spirituality cannot be added directly, but spirituality can bring the same firm belief as Deities.
Ryan intends to intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom. He has this identity, but he will not take action from within the kingdom. Just like at this moment, Ryan needs to start from the kingdom if he wants to get rid of the big net dropped by the empire. Looking at the outside of the overall situation is the most far-sighted vision.
"Which direction should we start from?"
Ryan murmured, and then watched the study door open, and the Viscountess led Apia in, placing the message sent back by Bilder in front of him.
Ordinary people have no idea that Northwind Province has been shaken again and again in just a few days. They cannot see so high up and have no way of knowing that the only ceiling they can touch is the Eight Knights that caused most of Northwind Province.
After all, they are still in the heat of life in the water. The nobles are the first to feel the threat, but equally, the nobles are also the first to stay away from the threat.
The pressure brought by Orcs has fallen on the heads of knights, civilians and slaves. The nobles can even stay in Zero Crossing City to hold banquets, singing, laughing and dancing again and again.
The story of Eight Knights spread far and wide as Northern Territory Merchant Guild Bard walked. Many people even saw the appearance of the eight knights with their own eyes, which added countless colors of expectation to the story.
Ashen Knight Lynn was not exposed too much in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was well known in the circle of nobles. Baron Hatton made a big splash, showing off his bloodline like a swagger, which made many nobles grit their teeth.
The world is like a huge pyramid. When the nobles grit their teeth, the pressure falls on the followers behind the nobles. The blood of those nobles are gearing up one by one.
"He Lynn can do it, why can't we?"
Young people are passionate, and what boils in their blood is their ambition for the future. Most people are not willing to be moths, or in other words, the moths produced by the conditions they can get now are too low-grade, and they want to be higher-level moths.
Therefore, as the nobles began to leave Zero Crossing City and return to their own territory, more noble blood began to rush to Zero Crossing City in the opposite direction.
"Ryan, you are right, that city can bring us unimaginable wealth."
Frozen Earth Territory, Ryan and Farrell clinked their wine glasses. Next to them, Avril sat with a gentle woman, laughing and talking.
"Otis·Brooks has led the army to the royal city of the Andara Kingdom. Today should be the time for King to receive him and then the army heads to the northern castle defense line."
Farrell felt a lot more relaxed. After becoming Commander of Winged Gorge, he didn't have much to do. The identity of Legendary and the status of Commander were more mascots than mascots before the war came.
But what Ryan said next made Farrell not so relaxed.
"How is your idea of obtaining Noble Title and land?"
