Throne of the North.

Chapter 274 This is my wealth!

(4,000 words)

"You said I killed your troops?"

"No...no."

"You said your troops were wiped out on my land?"

“That’s not your land.”

"What do you mean? You actually invaded my land. I have every reason to suspect that the wealth you obtained from the other dimension was robbed from my land!"

Ryan loudly questioned the five lords in front of him, causing these lords who originally wanted to question Ryan to retreat continuously.

"Do you guys really understand the castle laws between nobles?"

"That is my wealth. You secretly plundered my wealth. This is war. Do you understand? War!"

Ryan kicked a lord to the ground with one kick, which was very thoughtful. The two lords of the Meyers family were not so embarrassed.

The lords had just arrived in the North Wind Province and had not yet experienced the local customs and practices here. There were many reasons why they were so arrogant.

For example, one's identity was canonized by the royal family and he had the identity of a bright pioneer, but the latter was useless. For the nobles of the empire, they all considered themselves pioneers.

The first one? It's a matter of opinion.

Master Ryan was also a baron who was crowned and conferred the title by the emperor himself.

In terms of background, Master Ryan also has a great noble family in the south, which is no worse than those of these guys, and may even be much better.

In terms of title, he is still a baron.

The biggest reason for these guys is that after the fall of Earl Weiss, the nobles of the North Wind Province began to follow the two earls and deepen their ties with the nobles in the south, such as the recent many marriages.

Therefore, when facing the descendants of these lords, the nobles of the North Wind Province did not say anything. The other-dimensional world was very large, and most of the land they had circled out had not even been developed by themselves, so they just turned a blind eye.

Generally speaking, it is a relationship of demand. The nobles of the North Wind Province weave their family's web based on the connection between demand and the nobles of the South.

So, these lords were taken care of a little bit.

But Baron Ryan does not need all these. He is the descendant of a great noble family in the south, and his aristocratic network is connected to the Earl of Clayton's family.

This is a blood connection, not a simple marriage.

So, why should he take care of these lords who emerged from political struggles?

With a kick, Ryan's strength was so great that the lord rolled twice on the ground.

"How dare you slander a baron? I think you haven't adapted to your status as nobles. Why did the royal family crown you rubbish with noble titles?"

Most political struggles cannot be discussed openly, but Ryan's direct questioning of the royal family still shocked these lords.

Ryan sneered in his heart as he watched this scene. As expected, these guys were not used to this identity. Perhaps they were just cannon fodder.

No wonder I don’t feel sad when he died.

The first rule of political struggle among the imperial nobles is that it is not uncommon for nobles to question the royal family.

Otherwise, the royal family would be so all-powerful that there would be no such thing as political struggle.

Teacher Ryan, who had taught these guys a hard lesson, spoke in a somewhat unkind way.

"You have no evidence and you have framed a noble. I can send you to prison and ask the nobles behind you to redeem you."

After all, there is still a gap between the lord and the fifth-class nobles.

These lords really had no evidence, but they came to question Ryan after asking around and finding that none of their suspects were there.

……

Unexpected wealth, especially wealth without consequences, is a great joy to anyone.

For the nobles of the North Wind Province, the wealth brought by the war is a windfall. Similarly, the discovery of an alternate dimension world is also a windfall.

When there were no other conflicts and topics in the Northern Province, the alternate dimension world became the center of everyone's attention.

The news that Ryan taught several lords a lesson naturally spread quickly. At the same time, it also made the nobles begin to examine their various decisions in the alternate world.

As for how to deal with the windfall, since it was earned without any effort, it would not matter if a little was given away to win over relations in the South.

Anyway, I picked up the wealth. It came easily, so it is naturally easy to spend.

In this incident, the nobles of the North Wind naturally established connections with some nobles of the South, and the spider web of the aristocratic circle has begun to spread.

However, as time went on, after the nobles developed their original places, they had to choose to develop new places when they lost their wealth.

For a moment, because of the previous generosity, it became the most direct contradiction.

Originally I allowed you to hunt in the area I marked out, but now there are no precious treasures in the area I developed, so I have to move to another location.

You want to change places too, but we chose the same place?
Okay, you take my side, anyway, the land is big enough and there is enough space for the two or three hundred of us.

But you actually discovered a mineral vein and didn’t tell me! ?

"The dignity of the Carlo family cannot be violated!"

"For the glory of Donnel!"

The soldiers fought in the mountains and forests. The knights' swords slashed through the enemy's armor, and the spears pierced the fragile throats. In the land where mines had not yet been formed, the soldiers could only calm down and fear death after the blood was shed.

Baron Ryan still did not leave Thundercloud Mountain. His communication with the legendary knight Mulan helped him to clear the fog on his own knight training path.

Thus, he also waited for the nobles on both sides to be furious.

"What the hell? You guys are fighting over a copper mine?"

Ryan expressed shock, then some anger.

"Baron Carlo, have you forgotten something? After the victory of the war, the ownership of the otherworldly plane and all the wealth belonged to every one of us nobles."

"It is only fair to share even a piece of stone among all the nobles, but before now no one cared about what they would gain from it."

"But mineral veins are different. A mineral vein produces huge amounts of raw materials, which must belong to every noble."

Ryan's questioning made Baron Carlo a little embarrassed.

"My soldiers only discovered it a few days ago, and haven't had time to tell the nobles yet."

Ryan looked to the other side.

"Lord Donnell, according to the original division of the victory, that piece of land belongs to Baron Carol. Why did your army invade his territory?"

"What do you mean his territory? The alternate dimension world belongs to every Beifeng noble. I am also a noble. I have the right to develop the alternate dimension world."

"Whatever wealth I have acquired belongs to me."

Ryan nodded.

"That's right, but this alternate dimension world is the property of us nobles after the victory. You heard what I said just now. That copper mine belongs to every noble in the North Wind Province."

"It's not just you."

Ryan slowly took out a scroll.

"Come, let's see how much of this copper mine belongs to me."

"I won't bother with you for stealing my wealth before."

-

In the eyes of the two nobles, Ryan successfully witnessed his 6% ownership of the copper mine. "The two earls each own 10%. I don't know if they care about this."

Ryan put away the scroll, looked at the two nobles in front of him, and said seriously.

"In order to practice the noble virtues of the nobility, the person I authorize will contact you soon and will be responsible for supervising all output from the copper mine."

After Ryan finished speaking, he walked outside. He had come to watch the fun.

"Wait, Baron Ryan, this is our mineral property..."

"It's not yours, but the nobles of the entire Northern Province."

Ryan corrected.

Behind them, the two nobles looked at each other angrily.

"Baron Ryan, if you discovered resources on that piece of land, do they also belong to all the nobles?"

Lord Donnell said that he had come here to explore the alternate dimension, so of course he didn't care who the mineral vein originally belonged to.

"of course."

"But you may have to wait. My people are only chopping wood in the other plane and have not yet searched for mineral veins."

"This winter may be exceptionally cold, so you might as well harvest some firewood for preparation."

Who cares about that bit of garbage?

The lord was very angry.

"Then your firewood also belongs to every noble!"

Ryan turned his head, blinked, and laughed.

"Okay, let's divide up every beast that the nobles have hunted from the otherworldly planes before in proportion."

"I don't know if I can vomit out what I ate."

Only real estate can be divided up. For example, a mineral vein requires everyone to work together to build a mine and arrange slaves to mine. It is difficult for a single company to do it. Is this lord so stupid?

Do you really think that you came to the North Wind Province to act like a tyrant and become a master? The people here are simple and honest, and this is not only reflected in the lower class people.

If the value of the gold mine and amber jade was not so great, Ryan would have called a large number of people to develop the mine together.

Things like copper ore are real wealth only if you get them as quickly as possible.

The lifespan of the alternate dimension world is only ten years, so there is no time for them to have fun.

After Ryan blessed the natives and made them extraordinary, the natives were able to develop gold mines faster.

……

It turns out that when there are more participants in the alternate dimension world, the meaning of the contract is, to a certain extent, just a piece of waste paper.

Baron Ryan wants 6% of every mineral vein with just a few words?

What is he thinking? Baron Carol has summoned his own army. How could he allow his own mineral veins to become public?
Even Lord Donnell's soldiers were driven away. It was funny. Have the soldiers from the south ever experienced fighting? The soldiers in the North Wind Province were all veterans who had survived blood and fire.

"This mineral vein belongs to my Carroll family!"

The Baron refused to give up an inch of the land. The value of this windfall was too great. Even if it was difficult for him to bear it alone, he could not easily give it to others.

As this incident developed, many conflicts caused by resources were discovered in the entire alien world.

For a time, the situation in Beifeng Province was once again on the verge of a war.

"It seems that after the value of the windfall exceeds expectations, the nobles will not continue to be harmonious with each other."

Ryan smiled. Fortunately, there were not many mineral veins in the mountain forest world. Only seven or eight had been discovered. Even if there were some hidden, they would not be as many as the iron mines in the North Wind Province.

The problem is... half of the eight mineral veins that have been made public are magic crystal veins.

"These magic crystal mines are the last struggle of that world. At present, it seems that the struggle has little meaning. Instead, it benefits the nobles."

After another communication with Knight Mulan, this legendary knight gave his own insights. He had traveled to other better alien worlds and had a lot of experience.

"It's a magic crystal mine. It looks like a medium-sized or large-sized magic crystal mine. No noble in the North Wind Province will give it up."

"The great southern nobles behind the lords should also provide some support. A portion of the lords' gains in the other world should be sent to those nobles."

"The royal family will also get involved. The two earls and the Marquis of Beifeng will also need a lot of wealth."

"From this perspective, a war in another world is inevitable."

Ryan unravels the mystery and can already see the bloody storm in the alternate dimension.

A few days later, Ryan saw the arrival of Earl Sauron's army on Thundercloud Mountain.

Apparently, after the Earl learned about the previous robbery in the dark, he had already reacted.

"Let me find you something else to do."

Ryan smiled and whispered softly.

That night, at a gathering of nobles, Ryan mentioned it casually.

"It seems that Lord Count Sauron's army has arrived at Thundercloud Mountain today. I wonder why?"

"I heard that the Earl's slaves were attacked by natives in another world and suffered heavy losses."

A baron spoke up and said that there was a circle among the nobles. With Ryan's rise, there would naturally be some nobles around him who were willing to listen to his plans.

Of course, these nobles are not completely loyal to him. At present, they are one circle, and when Ryan is not around, the nobles can also be another circle.

"An attack by natives? Those natives can even trample on the lord from the south. Why do they need so many soldiers?"

Ryan smiled and shook his head, his smile was thought-provoking.

Two more days passed, and the portal to the other world opened. Ryan entered again with his one hundred servants.

Walking among the mountains and forests, Ryan's eyes became indifferent, and there was no more hypocrisy among the nobles.

A large number of soldiers had intruded into his territory.

"Find them out."

The war horses quickly traveled and arrived at the Blue Lion Tribe. Not long after, dozens of indigenous warriors went into the mountains and forests and brought back news in the evening.

"My Lord Baron, the natives found Earl Sauron's soldiers by the river."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked after a long time:
"Last time, the Green Lion Tribe said they threw my stuff into the river. Did they pick it all up?"

The soldier left for the natives and returned after a while.

"Not yet. The natives said they couldn't get deep into the river, so they only got back half of it."

Ryan took a deep breath, put his hand on the hilt of the knight's sword, and then slowly drew out the weapon.

"Tell me how many of them there are."

Rumbling, the rivers are rushing. In this barbaric world, big rivers themselves represent danger. This river, which runs through almost the entire mountain world, nourishes all the indigenous people on both sides and the beasts in the mountains.

The land here is relatively flat, so when the iron hooves of the war horses stepped on the land, the troops stationed by the river were extremely panicked.

"Kill them all!"

Ryan reined in his horse and crushed the simple fence. He raised the burning knight's sword and slashed it across the chest of a knight. Hundreds of servants behind him swarmed over his position and instantly flooded the entire camp.
