Throne of the North.

Chapter 292 The Cursed Wanderer (Day of Riwan)
Money is undoubtedly scarce, but the value of money changes in different situations.

Facing Master Xisu, Ryan felt that money was not that important.

"Master Xisu wants to go to the world where I am. What does he want to do?"

Ryan asked like a visa officer.

“In pursuit of truth.”

This is an impeccable answer.

"It's not that easy to pursue the truth. Every piece of land has its own owner. The nobles have already divided up all the land and sky. You can pay taxes in some wasteland to get a piece of land and build your own buildings from scratch."

“But this will waste a lot of time, and as a Sanctuary Mage, Master Xisu, you are dazzling even if you do nothing.”

"Without a noble background, you will have a lot of trouble."

What Ryan said was not exaggeration, but the truth.

In the empire, independent magicians will encounter many troubles. The easiest ones are those invited by nobles. However, magicians cannot do anything to nobles. If they kill a noble directly, the magician will be hunted down.

The dead legends Ryan mentioned had the blood of nobles on their hands.

It is common for wars to break out between nobles, but when faced with things beyond the nobility, the cohesion of the nobles is also terrifying.

The life of a baron is like an ant to a legend, but killing a baron will attract the pursuit of many extraordinary legions, or even dozens of legends.

On the Norris continent, most things are governed by rules.

The nobles are at the top of the aristocracy and they make the rules, so of course, the rules are in their favor.

With a noble as a background, a magician can violate many rules to do things, such as the necromancer beside Count Weiss. You must know that when the authority of the Holy See was still there, even when the Empire later began to allow magicians to come out on a large scale, necromancers were still hated by everyone.

But with the background of Count Weiss, the necromancer was not hunted down by any extraordinary people in the empire even when he used the magic of resurrection of the dead during the war.

Master Xisu wants to pursue the truth. Even if he can solve the troubles of the nobles, there will be many disasters on the road to pursuing the truth. If he takes a wrong step and causes a disaster, he will be thrown into the evil camp at the first time. Many extraordinary people in the empire are very interested in the corpse of the magician.

The Sanctuary Mage is no exception. Between him and the nobles, it is not that he protects the nobles, but the other way around.

"You need the protection of a noble."

Ryan looked at Master Xisu and said this.

Master Xisu frowned. He was a holy domain. Even in the War Bear Tribe, if he was not afraid of the power that those priests could unleash, he could use the pressure of wind and frost to suppress the entire War Bear Tribe.

He has been practicing magic for hundreds of years and has not been bound by anything for a long time.

But he didn't expect that the world behind Ryan was so powerful, and the Sanctuary was just a slightly more powerful extraordinary world.

"I will take some nobles with me."

After thinking about it, Master Xisu said that since he needed the protection of the nobles, he would not choose Ryan, but would choose other nobles whom he could control.

"hehe."

Ryan laughed and said sarcastically:

"Master Xisu, I am in awe of your magical power, but your understanding of nobility seems to be inadequate."

"Are you talking about those people outside?"

"So what if he is a viscount, earl, or grand duke or prince."

"They no longer have their own territory and are wandering in another world. They don't have their own army either. Among these thousands of people, they can't even muster 500 soldiers."

"In other words, they lost their lands, which was equivalent to giving up their noble titles, and they did not have the military strength to acquire new lands."

"noble?"

"Here they can only be called wandering nobles. After arriving in my world, they are nothing."

"You can't be called a noble just because you know how to enjoy life. The War Bear Tribe has a very clear understanding of this point. Perhaps you can ask them for advice."

Master Xisu fell silent, and after a long time he looked at Ryan and said.

"If I become your offering, will you support my magical practice?"

Ryan was stumped by this question.

"need some time."

He is quite honest.

"But I don't have much time."

Master Xisu shook his head and continued:
"Your father is a legend. If he invites me, I can consider it, but as a magician, no matter who I am loyal to, I need great freedom."

Ryan blinked, not expecting things to develop to this point.

"I will help you write a letter to your father. If he agrees, we can sign the contract."

"us?"

"Master Xisu, you don't think that just because you have taken refuge with my father, you don't have to pay for your wealth in exchange for leaving this world, right?"

"Also, the contract stipulates that you cannot reveal things about this world."

“That’s all the reassurance I need.”

Ryan got up and left. This matter might be a problem, but the Clayton family should not reject a Sanctuary wizard. In the Clayton family, Master Xisu might really have a chance to become a legend.

Walking away from the cabin and coming outside, there were too many invitations waiting for Ryan.

"Count Furth? Is he the most powerful person here?"

Ryan asked, picked up the post handed over by Viscount Shaffer, and went to the Earl's mansion.

It is called a mansion, but it is just seven or eight wooden houses connected together. It seems to be totally incomparable to the status of an earl.

Although he was only meeting an earl, more than twenty nobles gradually appeared in the wooden house hall for discussion. Sitting in the first seat was a white-haired old man, and next to him was a young man.

"Baron Ryan."

Fulte performed a noble etiquette towards Ryan, then introduced the young man next to him.

"This is His Highness Wells, the heir to the Night Spirit Kingdom."

The heir of the kingdom? Ryan was a little surprised. Sure enough, the team led by the Sanctuary Mage would still have people with good backgrounds.

But he didn't care and just nodded symbolically.

"I heard from Master Xisu that you followed him into this world and the journey was not smooth."

Ryan's words made the nobles somewhat dissatisfied, and Count Fulte also said:

"Baron Ryan, we are not wandering nobles. Noble glory flows in the blood of each of us."

"Only recognized glory is noble, but I don't sense any extraordinary blood inheritance in you, and your world has already fallen into death. I have no way of knowing your glory."

"There are many liars in the world. Forgive me for not being able to tell whether the glory you speak of is real or fake."

Ryan looked directly at the Earl's fallen highness and bowed slightly to express his noble apology.

"In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Master Xisu was a witness in this world, in my opinion, you wouldn't even be considered wandering nobles. You'd just be a group of relatively wealthy civilians."

"Baron Ryan!"

Count Furth's voice became louder, somewhat angrily.

"You are not allowed to desecrate the honor of the nobility!"

"You are declaring war on the nobles of our Night Spirit Kingdom."

“Are nobles from a fallen nation still nobles?”

Ryan sneered, then reached out and pulled up the sleeves on his hands, revealing his fair skin, and took out a dagger with his other hand.

"Do you know what kind of nobles we recognize?"

Ryan's dagger cut through his skin, and deep red blood dripped down and landed on the wooden table, making a heavy sound.

After a while, the wrist had returned to being smooth again, and there was no sign of a cut at all.

This scene shocked everyone present.

"This is what nobility is. Noble blood is not just something we talk about, but it has already been integrated into our blood. Every one of my descendants will have the noble blood of the Yanlong family. The legacy of our ancestors is hidden in our blood."

"Blood bears witness to our glory, and blood will not hide our honor."

In fact, the blood of the Clayton family is not as magical and powerful as Ryan said, but it is true that there is extraordinary power hidden in the blood, and they are naturally suitable for the knight training system.

The Clayton family is also the bloodline that constantly steals the origin of divinity in the pan-dimensional war of gods.

The reason why he was able to do this was because of the power of the dragon heart in his body, and because after breaking through the Golden Knight, Master Ryan combined his own blood and allowed his vitality to bloom.

The combination of blood and extraordinary power is so magical. "Your blood is noble? I wonder why it is noble?"

"Is there really such a big difference between the blood flowing in your bodies and those of the civilians and slaves?"

Ryan's question made the nobles here pale.

They saw the gap, the gap between one world and another, the chasm between them buried the vastness of one world.

"I respect your past, as well as the tenacity and perseverance of your ancestors in your world, and I recognize your status as wandering nobles."

"But in fact, you are not any nobles in my opinion."

"You have no land, you have no people of your own, and you have never possessed the most important things of a noble. In fact, I don't even sense any extraordinary power from you. After the death of the world, have all of you refugees been cursed?"

Ryan was right. In the extraordinary world, curses were not just the barking of impotent men, but real power.

The destruction and death of the world may not lead to the disappearance of the extraordinary, but if the gods in the world feel resentment towards the living beings and actively release the curse, then such a thing will happen.

These nobles definitely have a lot of heritage, but none of them is extraordinary.

The answer can only be the curse of world death, which prevents them from taking any extraordinary path.

Perhaps these people, or their ancestors, had betrayed the gods of their world before.

Why haven't the people of Exner and Svadifari and the current Bilki world been cursed?

Because they have never betrayed their beliefs, and even in the dead of winter, they continue to pray for the return of the gods. They even hold the last hope of the gods.

This is also true in the mountain and forest world. The barbarians there have not been cursed and have not been cut off from their path to extraordinary practice.

In this extraordinary world, nothing can be underestimated.

Ryan's words made these people pale and gradually frightened. They also gradually believed Ryan's words. They were cursed, cursed by the world they lived in. They abandoned the world and were also abandoned by the world.

They are not just wandering nobles, they are rootless people.

Without roots, no matter how much you practice, you can't retain your strength...

"So that's it..."

Count Furte had no doubts. He had previously thought that the kingdom had disappeared, so he had always firmly respected the last member of the royal family next to him. These small few thousand people made up the former kingdom.

As a count, and a count who was able to escape, he possessed extraordinary wisdom and knew that extraordinary power was indispensable to them.

Without extraordinary powers, it would be difficult for the nobility to maintain power for long.

"Then...then why aren't Master Xisu and the others affected?"

Someone asked in embarrassment, we are all from the same world, but Master Xisu and his men are still powerful.

Wasn't he affected?

Ryan didn't believe it, but why did Master Xisu still maintain the sanctuary, and so did those magicians.

"Because they are magicians."

"The path of magicians is originally considered to be a blasphemous transcendence that blasphemes the existence of gods. They are born to challenge the authority of gods."

“Even if I am affected, it is different from other people.”

"I think it will be very difficult for them to make further progress. It will be more difficult than for normal magicians."

The nobles who received the answer seemed to have their energy drained away, and their bodies were shaking.

Not only were they no longer noble, but their hopes of transcendence were gone.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

The heir to the kingdom next to Count Furte suddenly stretched out his hand and threw away everything on the table, roaring loudly. He could not accept this result. His noble bloodline and identity were all lost at the same time.

There is even no hope of rising.

"So, you are just civilians with some money. But from what I have observed, money doesn't play a big role in the War Bear Tribe."

Precious gold coins need to be circulated to be called money, but the War Bear Tribe is self-sufficient.

Then the only role is to act as a medium for those magicians, but for Master Xisu and the magicians around him, the most critical issue now is not making money.

"If you want to make a deal with me, you have to offer me something that interests me."

"Oh, by the way, you should also know one thing. This world is also suffering from the erosion of the northern winter. The power of the frost lord cannot be resisted for many years. Perhaps when this world dies, most of you will still be alive and be able to witness the spectacular death of the world with your own eyes."

Ryan turned and left. Now was not the best time to make a deal with these people.

He wanted the wealth of these nobles, not just gold coins and gems, but also the rare knowledge.

Moreover, in Ryan's opinion, the value of these people is not as great as that of one person.

……

"What are you looking at?"

"You are not from our tribe. You cannot be recognized by the War Bear."

Bogeld, Ryan felt that this woman was the "hero unit" of this world.

"Your extraordinary system is to connect the bear's power with your body?"

"Strengthening the War Bear is strengthening yourselves?"

Ryan looked at the most majestic armored bear he had ever seen next to Bogeld. The strength of this big guy should exceed the peak of the second-level monster and is comparable to the power of the Golden Knight.

So, Bogold also gained this power.

Her body could actually bear it.

She was also the only one in the War Bear Tribe who could endure it, so she became the standard-bearer. It's not like no one had tried to contract this war bear before, but they all died because their bodies couldn't endure it, and the price they paid was the weakening of their internal organs, their flesh and bones, and their exhaustion.

As a result, Bogeld became famous among the people of Birki.

The War Bear Tribe has been victorious in battles over the years, and there are many reasons for this.

After all, those priests cannot always summon the power of the Frost Lord, and the battles on the battlefield still have to fall on these warrior armies.

"Of course, Volibear is special, and so am I. We are descendants of the great Frost Lord!"

Bogold said proudly, she didn't doubt herself.

The tall armored bear next to it also cooperated by patting its chest, standing up and roaring, causing the other armored bears around to run away, leaving behind no fish.

"You can't rule us."

Bogeld was a carefree person and he didn't hesitate to say what Ryan wanted to do.

"I will become even more powerful, and by then, your War Bear Tribe will not be able to stop my rule."

Ryan also said without hesitation.

"Impossible. Volibear will become stronger and stronger. I will become the most powerful warrior."

"When the time comes, I will attack your world and take over your empire, and then I will continue to let you be a baron."

Bogeld raised his chest confidently, his sturdy body was no less powerful than the burly barbarians in the mountain world.

"Well, when I rule your tribe, I will continue to let you be the flag bearer."

Ryan said with a smile and Bogeld's eyes widened.

"Several guys from the Violent Bear Tribe and the Crazy Bear Tribe said that they would capture me and make me their wife after they defeated the War Bear Tribe."

She was proud, but soon added:

"But I won't lose. Those guys are too weak. I will fight on the battlefield until the last moment, until I win completely."

She never seemed to think that war had winners and losers, only victories.

"I don't like you like this."

Ryan shrugged.

"I see, you hypocritical nobles all fantasize about such a fragile woman."

"There are several in the next village, and my father wants to marry one of them."

"Your father doesn't seem to be very brave. If it were me, I would definitely grab a lot of them."

“Hahahaha, you’re right. My father is very timid, but he actually said that he is the second bravest person in the tribe after me.”

Bogeld patted the armored bear next to him.

"The second bravest person in the tribe is Volibear."
