Throne of the North.

Chapter 28 The Two Sides of the Nobility

"This woman actually asked about the Frozen Territory."

To be honest, Ryan was still very surprised. After all, his frozen land territory was far away on the border of the North Wind Province, separated by mountains, forests and swamps. No one wanted to go there, especially in winter.

"Ms. Irina is well-informed."

Ryan smiled. This woman would never know the true situation of the Frozen Territory. After all, there were no roads in his own territory.

Then it could only be Baron Hatton.

With the baron's intelligence, he would probably be pinned to the ground and rubbed by this woman.

Ryan understood that Irina was just being clever to get some information. After all, nobles could break all the rules when facing commoners.

"We merchants make money by taking advantage of information gaps. Trading with a lord might allow me to become a senior manager in the Chamber of Commerce."

Irina looked at Ryan pitifully, then handed him a silver-forged card.

"With this card, Baron Ryan can enjoy a 95% discount at our Blade Rose. Please take care of my business in the future."

I thought that dealing with a young baron would be easy.

After all, the Baron Ryan in front of him seemed to be fascinated by him.

Looking at that face that could intoxicate countless women, Irina didn't mind going a little deeper into the communication.

"95% off? That's just right."

Ryan shook the silver card in his hand and said, "I plan to purchase 200,000 kilograms of grain from the Blade Rose."

"Two hundred thousand catties?"

Irina opened her eyes wide, and this time she was not pretending. How could such a shabby place like the Frozen Territory have so much food?
"Not only food, but also three hundred slaves. If there are slaves who can forge iron, I will take them all."

"If not, think of a way to help me find a group of blacksmiths who are willing to go back to the Frozen Territory with me. For every blacksmith I find, I will give you a gold coin as a reward."

"If you can help me get this done, I will give priority to your Blade Rose in future transactions with the Frozen Territory."

Many times, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce is the first choice for many nobles to trade with. In this case, if other chambers of commerce want to get a piece of the pie, they can only offer more benefits.

From Ryan's words just now, Irina had already heard which things would appreciate in value in the future, but she gritted her teeth and still planned to sell them to Ryan at the original price.

"We also need to go to other places to prepare two hundred thousand kilograms of food, which may take several days."

"The food is two thousand gold coins in total. Lord Ryan, please don't cheat me."

"Three hundred slaves is easy to get. North Wind Province doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of slaves. And the ones left by our Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce are all good at farming and can withstand the cold. A total of 1,200 gold coins, but slaves who can forge iron..."

Irina gritted her teeth and said, "Five hundred gold coins... No, six hundred. I'll go get ten from other businesses, Lord Ryan."

Finally, after all the transactions were completed, Irina asked someone to bring out two thousand two hundred gold coins. The box was so shiny that everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances.

But this belongs to Baron Ryan, and no one dares to have any ideas.

It would take some time to get food and slaves, so Ryan gave Irina three days because he still needed time to transport the things back to the Frozen Territory. He didn't know when the orcs would appear in the North Wind Province, and he didn't want to encounter the orcs on his way back.

From this point we can see that Viscount Miles is still very powerful. It only took half a day for the butler to tell him that the things he traded with Ryan were ready and he could pick them up at any time.

"Rosen!" Since there was a deal going on, Ryan was naturally invited to stay in the Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce. He didn't just sit there and wait without doing anything.

Calling Rosen, Ryan gave Rosen a warhorse he got from Miles.

"Take my letter with you and go to Viscount Dragun's territory to visit the Viscount immediately. Don't say anything. Give my letter to the Viscount and then bring back the Viscount's words."

"After you finish this task, you can go back to the frozen land."

"As ordered!"

Rosen clutched the letter tightly, treating it as something more precious than his own life.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."

Ryan said with a smile.

A nobleman must possess virtues such as integrity, fearlessness, and dignity, but at the same time, a qualified nobleman must also be treacherous, cunning, and greedy.

What can't be sold to others is that in Lingdu County, only two nobles are qualified to know the news of the orcs heading south in advance.

After getting 20,000 kilograms of food and 70 war horses from Viscount Miles, he wanted to get more from Viscount Dragun.

You should know that there are only two viscounts in Lingdu County, and these two are in a competitive relationship, whether it is the viscount or the family behind the viscount.

You have to know that this is during the Black Goat Man orc disaster. A slight lack of information could lead to the destruction of many nobles.

After instructing Rosen, Ryan began to chat with Irina about where in Lingdu City he could buy enchanted armor. At the same time, Ryan also asked in a roundabout way about the relationship between the Black Goat Man and Viscount Miles.

"Fifteen years ago, there was a large-scale orc invasion of the Northern Wind Province. At that time, the invasion was led by the unintelligent bear tribe, but it also caused huge losses to the Northern Wind Province. During that invasion, there was a Black Goat Tribe among them."

"They took advantage of the time when Viscount Miles was leading his army to fight the bear people and raided Viscount Miles' territory, robbed Viscount Miles of all his wealth, and even ate Viscount Miles' eldest son."

"The Viscount's first wife also couldn't eat for several days because of what happened that year, and she eventually passed away."

"Christan, the eldest son of Viscount Miles, and the children after him are actually the eldest sons of Viscount Miles' second wife. It is said that when the first wife was still alive, this one was just Viscount Miles's lover."

"As for the real eldest son, I heard that he was once called the one who looked most like a viscount in the Miles family. He showed amazing political and military talents when he was only ten years old."

"So that's it."

Ryan sighed. No wonder the Viscount became so angry after hearing the news about the Black Goat Man.

Now that a true heir has died, Viscount Miles must be feeling extremely desperate.

After all, the current Christian is not performing as well as the youngest son Rag.

"Does Viscount Miles have any conflicts with the Earl of Clayton's family?"

Ryan discovered that these chambers of commerce were really well-informed.

Irina looked at Ryan in confusion. During this day, she collected more information about the young baron.

"When Grand Duke Mayes conquered the Northern Wind Province, no Mayes appeared in the Northern Wind Province. It is said that Earl Clayton was involved."

"what?"
