Throne of the North.

Chapter 170 The Needs of the Chamber of Commerce

After a long time, Baron Hatton reacted and looked at Ryan.

"Lian, you have transformed the Frozen Territory into this. Your talent surpasses countless nobles."

His voice was sincere, and he was surprised at Ryan's sense of smell. At the same time, he also understood that once the Frozen Territory took the lead in the transaction with the Chamber of Commerce, it would represent enviable wealth.

Moreover, with Ryan's current importance in Lingdu County, he can definitely drive the trade of iron weapons and the Chamber of Commerce in Lingdu County, which means that it is very likely that these nobles will also be able to profit.

Before the war breaks out completely, Lingdu County will be able to obtain a large amount of wealth, so there will be no problem for these nobles to support Ryan.

The metabolism of the noble family is very slow. As living nobles, they will all look up to Ryan's will in the future.

Baron Hatton left on the same day, but returned to the Frozen Territory two days later. Following him was a burly middle-aged man with eyes as sharp as blades.

He was a nobleman, but also looked like a knight. Looking at this man, Ryan seemed to see Baron Enzo.

Born of noble blood, lingering in blood and fire, this is... the original ancient nobility.

The reason why nobles became nobles is because their ancestors had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

Many people want to follow suit, but many fail.

Ryan originally thought that Baron Hutton was just an ordinary baron, just like he used to be, living a life of idleness in his barony.

But obviously, as a baron who owns iron mines in the North Wind Province, Mr. Hatton has also been noticed by his relatives.

"Frank Booth, meet Baron Lane."

A standard knight's etiquette. Frank still felt a little bit unbelievable when looking at Ryan at this moment. He never thought that Baron Hutton would tell him that if he could not get the approval of this baron, he would not get any iron ore in Lingdu County.

"I am here on behalf of the Lantern Merchant Guild to discuss the purchase of iron weapons with you."

"Is it just you?"

Ryan looked at Baron Hatton with a smile on his face, and the baron smiled unconsciously.

"Ryan, the Lantern Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce under the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. If they can obtain weapons of sufficient quality, other chambers of commerce will naturally come."

"Ok."

Ryan looked back at Frank.

"How much do you, the Lantern Chamber of Commerce, want?"

"Ten thousand sets of armor and thirty thousand swords."

Frank began to speak in a terrifying voice.

The main theme of the world is knights, and for knights, there are three most important things: knight armor, knight sword, and mount.

Any knight would pursue better quality mounts and weapons and armor. Naturally, these three essential items are not cheap.

"For each set of knight armor, the Lantern Merchant Guild is willing to pay sixty gold coins, of course, if you can ensure that the quality of the armor and the knight's sword is as high as the one you sent over."

"We are willing to pay eight gold coins for a knight's long sword."

Brock's craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch, otherwise Frank in front of him would not have offered such a high price, but Ryan still felt that it was... not enough.

"For armor and a long sword of that quality, you have to pay 120 gold coins and 15 gold coins respectively, otherwise I won't sell them to you."

Ryan shook his head.

"Mr. Frank, you are a knight, you know the value of those things very well, and even in the Tundra Territory, there are not many armors and weapons of this quality."

"For the remaining armor and sword, I can only mobilize the entire Lingdu County to help you forge them. Thirty-five gold coins are required to purchase armor, and two gold coins are required to purchase weapons."

Frank frowned.

"Your asking price is too high."

"You gave too little." Ryan shook his head and said:
"You won't find another company in the entire empire that forges weapons with such skill, yet they only sell you this much."

Frank blinked, then bowed his head in respectful response.

"As you wish, Baron Ryan."

The deal was made, but Frank required it to be ready within a month.

That was the time when the Chamber of Commerce had already prepared how to safely enter the North Wind Province.

"Don't worry, Mr. Frank."

Ryan was not in a hurry. He had acquired a lot of arms in the previous war. He originally planned to sell them to the nobles of the neighboring Andara Kingdom, but now no one came. So it would be the same if he sold them to the empire.

As for the remaining share, there are still so many nobles in Lingdu County, so if we pool our resources together, we can still get it.

The key lies in the things forged by Brock. Those are the high-quality weapons that really attracted the attention of Knight Frank. In the entire empire, there is really no other company with the same cost-effectiveness.

Most importantly, as a knight, Frank knew very well how deadly armor and weapons would be to a knight once he had them in his hands, which would allow him to use them with ease and even improve his knightly skills.

He believed that if conditions permitted, the high-quality knight swords produced in the Frozen Territory would become famous.

At Ryan's invitation, the descendant of the Earl's family stayed in the Frozen Territory. Of course, Frank was also curious about the Zero Crossing County that Mr. Hutton mentioned, which was completely different from what he thought in his heart.

He wanted to see what was going on in the North Wind Province, but the nobles in the south knew nothing about it.

As for Ryan, he soon welcomed his second Chamber of Commerce guest.

"Lord Baron Ryan."

Ryan looked at Irina in front of him, smiled and lowered his eyes for a moment.

"Irina, you are still so big... and beautiful."

As the manager of the Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce in the North Wind Province, Irina looked at Ryan with resentment at this moment.

"Lord Baron Ryan, we agreed at the beginning that when you come to the Frozen Territory this year, all your transactions will be with us, the Blade Rose."

"doing what?"

As a serious nobleman, Ryan certainly did not believe in any verbal promises, especially when facing businessmen.

"You just made a deal with the Lantern Merchants today."

Irina mentioned it cryptically, which made Ryan laugh.

"I was wondering how Frank, the son of the earl, as a knight, could be suitable to be the manager of the Chamber of Commerce."

His eyes fell on Irina's round figure.

“You are a true businessman.”

"Thank you for your compliment, Baron."

Irina said with a little pride.

"So... your Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce also needs weapons?"

That night.

The castle's lady-in-waiting, the Viscountess, walked through the wide corridor and just as she opened the door, she heard a voice that made her ears turn blood red coming from inside. She then gritted her teeth and walked in.

“It really needs to be bigger.”

In the darkness, Ryan's low murmur was heard.
