Throne of the North.

Chapter 171 'Snow Dragon's Roar'

"The war in the Southern Thousand Lakes Province was dragged on. The Empire failed to expel the armies of the Church and the Kingdom in the first place. Every day, another Thousand Lakes island was occupied and counterattacked."

"A large number of troops cannot fight a large-scale war in a place full of lakes and islands. They can only hunt each other in a small area as a team of knights."

"The battlefields chosen by the Holy See are very good. The Pearl Bay and the Thousand Lakes Province make it difficult for the empire's huge war potential to be fully utilized."

"Moreover, neither side seems to be willing to see a full-scale, absolute world war break out, so the battlefield is confined to Qianhu Province."

Hearing Irina's delicate and weak murmur in his ears, Ryan couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the Empire and the Church.

The war was dragged on. On the surface, both the Holy See and the Empire needed huge numbers and military armaments. This was why these chambers of commerce were eager to come to the North Wind Province. They wanted the weapons of the North Wind Province.

This is on the surface, and it appears to be a mutual consumption between the Holy See, the Empire, and that kingdom.

But apart from this, both the Empire and the Church can profit from the war.

Those nobles couldn't see it because they had no experience. They had never seen a war in which the more the war was fought, the richer the people became.

The so-called wealth here does not just mean simple money.

Ryan made this judgment because of a message given by Irina.

"Neither the extraordinary legions of the Empire nor the Church took action, because the terrain of the Thousand Lakes Province is not suitable for a large-scale war between them."

The purpose of the Holy See is to spread the faith, but what about the Empire?
They also need faith, Ryan suddenly realized.

Today, on the Norris continent, only the Empire has openly expelled the existence of the Church. Theocracy and royal power are concentrated in the Columbus royal family, but other kingdoms and duchies are still watching, or they are interested but want to see if they have the power.

The Empire wanted to give confidence to those wavering nobles through war, and the same was true for the Church.

This war is not a show, but a fight of blood and fire. Both sides are fighting for the so-called "belief", and even if it is a small-scale war, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

"In this case, it is an opportunity for Brock."

Ryan thought so, and Brok's skills, which belong to the craftsmanship of Swadifari craftsmen, might shine because of this.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but feel more satisfied with the snow-white body beside him. He reached out and poured the milk brought by the maid beside the bed onto the other's tall and white skin, then turned over, lowered his head and took a sip.

woke up.

After Irina woke up, she took the carriage back to the Wing Canyon with the armor and weapons forged by Brock. As the portal opened by Ryan again, the high-quality weapons bearing the Rhino Horn Mountain mark will be delivered to the knights of the world.

"We have to think of a resounding name, one that makes people's blood boil when they hear it."

the other side.

Frank Booth looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Fresh milk and vegetable salad?"

Next to him, a servant said respectfully:
"The north is very cold. Even in a snowstorm, the milk sent from the south can be well refrigerated. The lord taught us to dig through the frozen soil and ice and build a cold storage buried in the mountains. The natural winter ice and snow can keep the food fresh. It will not go bad for several months and it will be as good as fresh when you take it out."

This is a servant who has been specially trained in the art of speaking. He follows Frank around. One purpose is to ensure that Frank, a noble, does not ask the commoners strange questions, and the other is to dispel their doubts.

For example, the servant would never tell him that the fresh milk was transported from another wild world. There was not only cow's milk, but also horse's milk, goat's milk, and various berries and vegetables.

By noon, there was no shortage of meat.

Frank nodded, agreeing with this reason, mainly because as a person who was focused on his knight training, he would not think of any other answers.

"Where's Baron Ryan?"

"My Lord..."

The servant was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether the lord had gotten up yet, but he heard from the maid that the lord had a schedule today. "The lord should have gone to Lord Brok. Lord Brok is the chief craftsman of the Frozen Territory. The weapon you are trading with was forged by Lord Brok himself."

"Oh?"

Frank's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Can I go and have a look? I would like to meet this craftsman with superb skills."

"This……"

The servants dare not make the decision.

"I'm afraid I need the Lord's consent."

……

"Brock, what do you think should be the names of these knights' swords?"

"In my opinion, why not call it 'Snow Dragon's Roar'? Look at the Rhinoceros Horn Mountain carved on it. Doesn't it look like a giant dragon rushing out of the snow and roaring at the world, shaking the earth and the sky?"

Ryan said with some excitement, but Brock next to him was a little dissatisfied, as if he felt that Ryan interrupted his forging.

"I heard from Etria that you haven't left the blacksmith shop since you came back from the south. I think you should take a rest."

Brock put down the hammer in his hand and said:

"Master Ryan, these things are just ordinary goods that I forge every day. How can they be named 'Snow Dragon Song'?"

Brock was very satisfied with the name given by Ryan, but he strongly disagreed with the name being given to such an ordinary knight's sword.

"Normal?"

Ryan shook his head.

"Brock, this sword may seem ordinary to you, but in the outside world, it is the pinnacle that can be achieved without using extraordinary materials."

Because he had no extraordinary materials to practice with, Ryan was almost certain that Brock's skills in working with ordinary iron tools were probably unmatched by many people in the entire empire.

"And you are wrong, Brock. 'Snow Dragon's Song' is not the name of a weapon, but a series."

"Do you know what a sequence is?"

"..."

"Then you should know my butler Beard. His father, my old butler, is also called Beard."

"Ordinary civilians don't even have the right to be named. Their children can only carry on their names."

"Beard's child is called Little Beard, and so are many other people in the world."

"The same is true for 'Snow Dragon Song'. Right now, this name is only used on the long swords of these knights. In the future, this name can also be used on mithril long swords or fine gold long swords. Even, if you can do it, 'Snow Dragon Song' will become the name of a legendary weapon. At that time, this name will be unique, and all knights holding weapons with this name will be proud of it because they share the same name as the legend."

"This is a series. The end of the series represents the legendary weapon, and the end of the series is these everyday weapons you are forging now."

"With a good start, the knights who once purchased the ordinary 'Snow Dragon Song' series of knight longswords are likely to purchase the higher-level 'Snow Dragon Song' in the future."

"Just like the bitter winter in the north, the weapon you forge will be accompanied by this name, roaring from the north and breaking into the vast southern world, allowing those ignorant knights to see what the snow dragon of the north is."

"By then, we will be very rich and can buy all kinds of extraordinary materials."
