Throne of the North.

Chapter 148 The Never Tired Brock

Ryan's mother was right. It was indeed difficult for the daughter of a southern noble to look up to the nobles of the Northern Province.

How did the contempt chain come about? To a large extent, it came from the mouths of these women.

The noble ladies in the North Wind Province could not avoid wearing more warm clothes, but the ladies in the South were much more delicate.

Not to mention other things, the daily life and servants are not as good as those in the South.

This is inevitable. In the harsh winter, it is almost impossible to survive, so who cares about living a refined life?

Of course, it’s not just a difference in geographical environment.

The nobles of the North Wind Province often appeared there to try to rise again because their families had fallen into decline. They were in the south and could not compete with other nobles who occupied fertile lands, otherwise why would they go to the frontier?

Just like the Clayton family, occupying such good land, how could they give it up?

So in terms of the wealth gap between nobles of the same level, the North Wind Province cannot compare with the land in the South.

If the nobles in the south mentioned a noble they knew in the Northern Province, the first thing they would think of was, ah, this family was right next to us in the south, and their power and wealth were not that strong...

They were not able to gain a foothold in the south and had to go to the Northern Province to fight for their fortunes. In the southern aristocratic circles, this was a sign of decline in family fortunes.

That was true. They didn't really care whether the nobles rose again after going to the North Wind Province. Anyway, it was a cold and poor northern land, and it was hard to get rid of the label.

Ryan, as a baron, is not looked up to like his other two brothers who became barons, and it is for this reason.

They also knew what the North Wind Province and the Frozen Territory were like in the past.

However, Ryan didn't care about any of this.

He himself knows what the frozen land is like, and many people will know it in the future.

At this moment, walking in this Fire Dragon Castle, he did not feel much intimacy. His black hair and red eyes made him feel awe-inspiring gazes when he walked on the street, but no matter what, he felt that he was becoming more and more out of place here.

"This place doesn't belong to me after all."

Although the Frozen Territory was very cold and not wealthy, it had land that belonged to him alone, tens of thousands of his subjects, and the tender viscount...

He looked at the ring on his hand, which was engraved with the image of Rhino Horn Mountain. The mountain that looked like a rhino horn was Ryan's emblem.

In comparison, the roaring dragon banner of the Clayton family looked particularly unfamiliar.

Ryan's eyes became firm, he would not doubt his future.

That night, Earl Clayton held a rare family banquet and entertained Ryan with aristocratic etiquette.

From this moment on, the relationship between the Clayton family and Baron Ryan was no longer a simple blood relationship, but also an alliance, an alliance between nobles, and a political alliance in the empire and in the southern continent.

The banquet was not luxurious, but Ryan was still a little shocked by the wealth of the Earl's family.

Ryan thought that the banquet would just pass like this, but he didn't expect that some mistakes would happen in the last moments of the banquet.

Many people were curious when they saw the soldier who was roughly pushed open at the door, and the burly man whose clothes were out of place with the nobles at the banquet.

They both knew each other's identities.

"Master Knox, why are you here?"

Even Countess Ellie couldn't help but be surprised, because Master Knox was the best craftsman of the Clayton family.

In any profession, once someone can be called a master, it means that his status is no less than that of a noble. Moreover, he is the only master with the title under the Clayton family.

In other words, even if Earl Clayton, who came and went in a hurry, was here, he would be treated with courtesy.

Because Knox, who was called "Battle Axe", had created a legendary weapon. His own knighthood was also ranked high in the sky.

Such a person is of course of great importance to the Clayton family.

Master Knox was also extremely excited at this moment, but when he saw the eyes around him looking at him, he knew that he had lost his composure.

After calming down, he bowed respectfully to the Countess and said:
"Ma'am, I'm here for Master Ryan."

"Oh?"

Ryan walked out and looked at the master. He had heard of this master before, but this was the first time he saw him.

Looking at the other person's tattered clothes, it seemed as if they had just been burned by fire.

"I am Ryan. Master Knox, what do you want to see me about?"

The moment he saw Ryan, Knox's eyes became hot and he walked towards him quickly.

"Master Ryan, leave the craftsman under your command to me!"

He spoke almost tremblingly, fearing that Ryan would refuse.

"Brock?"

When Ryan heard what the other party said, he knew what was going on.

When they arrived at the Castle of the Flame Dragon, the soldiers following Ryan and Brock and others couldn't help but wander around the city. Of course, the wandering also had a purpose.

Along the way, the Brock brothers and sisters asked him a lot about the famous craftsmen in the empire.

Ryan knew that only Master Knox had come to this city, so Brock naturally couldn't wait.

"Master Knox, are there any special craftsmen in Ryan's territory?"

Ellie also came over at this time and asked Master Knox.

Master Knox said excitedly:
"Madam, do you know why I can't forge a second legendary weapon?"

"Because my energy, blood, and spirit were all exhausted when I forged the Holy Seal Battle Axe."

“But today, I met someone who possesses the supreme gift of a craftsman, a craftsman who never tires.”

"That is the highest honor for a craftsman, bar none."

"As long as he has the skills and strength to forge legendary weapons, then in theory, he can forge legendary weapon embryos one after another."

"And this is also the only talent to forge a divine weapon."

Knox's words shocked Ellie and also surprised Ryan. He had no doubt that Brock was very talented, but was he really saying something so outrageous?

Ryan fell silent. It seemed... it was not impossible. The divinity blessed by the spirit of the wilderness in Svadifari, in a sense, placed all the hopes of that world on the two brothers and sisters.

However, looking at the master in front of him, Ryan still had a calm expression.

He looked at the other person.

"Master Knox, please tell me, are you asking me to let Brock become your disciple?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't promise you."
