Throne of the North.

Chapter 421 The Leisurely Baron and the Hero's Activities
"If nothing unexpected happens, Beard will bring back 20,000 to 30,000 people, solving the problems of 70 percent of the families in the three villages and towns."

After the war, women were no longer that important to many noble lords, because the number of women in their territories already exceeded that of men.

Especially those women who were captured and used as slaves while fleeing were extremely cheap and lived a miserable life in those noble territories. It didn't take much effort for the caravan to buy them.

If we can solve the problem of 70% of the family population outside Lingdu City, the remaining 30% will not be so serious.

Ryan was lying on a recliner high up in the castle, watching the griffin flying in the sky, his sharp eyes locked on his prey. If nothing unexpected happened, a blue lion was running in the woods below the griffin, ferociously forcing the prey into a desperate situation.

In his mind, he turned many problems into data. In the political disputes after the war, Ryan gradually withdrew himself and looked down at the nobles' struggle. When his own demands were recognized, he no longer needed to take sides.

But this kind of unnecessary need itself is a kind of standing in line. Ryan alone is a team.

It seems that he has not become a part of the noble circle of the Northern Province, but in fact, he is the one who is qualified to make the decision.

The power of speech he holds will be able to determine the division of interests among many nobles.

But he did not say a word. Like a king high above, he looked down at the civil and military officials arguing with red faces.

It would take an opportunity to get involved in this political dispute, and that opportunity would no longer be a war, so Ryan didn't have much to do now.

News would be transmitted to the Frozen Territory from all directions. Although he was lying here, he could actually know everything the nobles were doing.

"In two days, the first fort of the military fort defense line will be officially completed. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Ryan thought about it, and then became a little anxious.

"Why don't these people understand?"

"I was worried that they would kill innocent people to gain credit, but now I understand that these ignorant guys don't even want the orc heads obtained through legitimate channels."

Politics, economy, and military, for Ryan, helping those soldiers find their families is just a small matter. He asked Beard to hire a registered adventure group from the Northern Brave Guild, but it was for the economic economy, one of the three most important pillars in the hands of the nobles.

To increase economic wealth, one needs to buy and sell. The money from trade is the only way for the economy to grow. To achieve this, the first thing one needs is traffic, reputation, advertising, and a buying and selling group that is unique to the frozen land economy.

In the previous transactions with the Chamber of Commerce, Ryan and Avril gradually realized what the Chamber of Commerce leaders were worried about.

The group of people who buy things is a critical factor that will determine the income of a chamber of commerce. Ryan's trade products need to be trusted before people will buy them.

Should he be asked to do the same as those chambers of commerce and use every possible means to gain the trust of magicians, other extraordinary people and alien races?
This needs to be done, but if you want to overtake others, it is not enough to follow the steps and copy other people's answers.

His economy needs to create an audience group that belongs only to him.

But why didn’t that damn adventure group realize it?

Master Ryan was very worried. He hoped that the adventure groups would spread the news that orc heads could be exchanged for gold coins in Lingdu City, so that more people would come to him to get money.

It was free gold coins, one orc was one gold coin. Maybe in the war now, everyone thought that the Northern Brave Guild would not exchange it, but he really gave it!

Really give it!

Ryan turned over and the gold coins slid down. With the fall of the first gold coin, the mountain of gold coins buried Ryan in it.

"Woo~wuwu~"

A hand stretched out from the gold coins, shaking continuously. Next to her, the Viscountess leaned over helplessly and let Master Ryan hold her.

"call!"

"You almost suffocated me to death. Are you going to kill your master?"

Ryan yelled angrily and slapped him hard.

“You can really play it.”

Ryan threw a shiny gold coin towards the shaking mountain peaks and ravines. This was his pleasure, and he would reward a gold coin every time. There were several female officials in the castle, and they had accumulated a lot of wealth with the rewards from Ryan during this period of time.

"When Meyers said he would give me five million gold coins, I thought it was too little, but I really didn't expect that after five hundred gold coins were delivered, there would be so many."

Ryan was lying in the castle and on the gold coins, looking at his wealth greedily like a dragon.

"Do you think they will think that there are too many orcs and I can't afford to pay them?"

Ryan thought about it and thought to himself that he still couldn't figure out why they would turn a blind eye to the gold coins they got for free.

The Viscountess, who was also standing naked on the gold coins, was a little hesitant. To be honest, even standing on this mountain of gold, she was not sure whether Ryan would really exchange an orc head for a gold coin.

"That's... a lot of money."

Does a noble baron have 30,000 or 50,000 gold coins accumulated in ten years? But if Ryan really wants to do this, the gold coins he will take out may not be 30,000 or 50,000, but 300,000 or 500,000.

Not to mention the ordinary people who made up the Northern adventurers, even the nobles probably wouldn't dare to believe that Ryan would do this.

"How about we think of a way to get Lian En to do it again?"

"No, no, no, it won't work anymore. It's not that effective now. We need to find someone else to do it."

"Damn it! Aren't those adventurers brave enough to fight the orcs? Why don't they dare to come to me to exchange money?"

Ryan was helpless, he had been waiting for a month for this matter, and had been lying on these five million gold coins for a hundred months, but he still hadn't heard the news that anyone in Lingdu City had exchanged orc heads for gold coins.

"Viscount Hogg has written again. The nobles of Thundercloud County are arguing over a piece of land for their descendants."

"Even if they were two earls, it would be difficult for them to take over a village. Once they opened their mouths, a large number of nobles would question the legitimacy of their bloodline."

"The war with the orcs is still going on, but it is said that the knights of the two barons of North Wind County have appeared on the battlefield to duel."

The Viscountess was talking about intelligence from afar. After all, as a former noble lady, she did not have much respect for the nobles.

"Is it that cruel?"

Ryan was surprised, but this question made the Viscountess a little surprised.

She said hesitantly:

"This is a title, a hereditary title that can be obtained without amazing merit. As long as you get the land, your descendants can become nobles."

"Among them, there are also fifth-class nobles."

Ryan was surprised that the nobles were arguing like this. In fact, it was the nobles who found Ryan's shock incomprehensible.

Baron Ryan never showed any greed for the title that represented the land from beginning to end.

At this moment, even the people around him felt surprised.

Everyone had a common understanding, that is, Baron Ryan had just arrived, he was still young, he had no children and no large family. This was the only explanation everyone could think of.

Otherwise, why would no one care about the land that represents titles and hereditary wealth and power?

The nobles readily agreed to Ryan's population request, probably because they wanted to make the matter a done deal so that Ryan could not directly say that he won the war and get involved again to take a big bite.

Does Ryan care? Lying on the mountain of gold coins, Ryan thought about this question seriously. Does he care...

"hu~hu~"

A faint breathing sound came from Ryan's nostrils. After confirming that her master Baron was really asleep, the Viscountess quietly stepped back, took the magic potion, and fell asleep on the blanket.

She is also very tired.

In the Northern Brave Guild, Ryan would really exchange gold coins for those adventurers who came with orc heads. It was not because he had a lot of money. Even if he suddenly got a huge sum of five million, he would not think it was too much. He just wanted to spend it purely because it was the first time he saw such a huge wealth. He was a vulgar man, but not a mediocre one.

The real reason for giving gold coins is to get more gold coins. Every gold coin he gives out is the advertising fee he gives out. The advertising will bring him ten or a hundred times the profit.

Three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand? As time goes by, Ryan will be able to recover three to five million gold coins.

Don't underestimate the spending power of knights. Among the many extraordinary paths, knights seem to be a group with little spending potential. They wear tattered heirloom armor and carry a fire stick all day long. But in fact, knights are not so shabby. In fact, they don't even have to pay for consumption in many cases, so they appear to be more generous.

If ordinary people aim to be knights, they have to get closer to them in all aspects.

And now, in the entire North Wind Province, and even with the two neighboring kingdoms, is there really any rival for the knight equipment produced by the Frozen Territory?

No, not a single one can fight.

"Is there any way to mobilize these 'customers'?"

In his sleep, Ryan was quiet, but the frozen land was always bustling with heat in the midst of ice and snow.

The people living at the foot of Rhino Horn Mountain are proud. They were the first to follow Lord Ryan, and the population of Winter City is even more direct.

"Only the most powerful fighters can guard the noble and great Lord Ryan!"

"If you are weak, you will lose the qualification to serve!"

"Defeat me, weak challengers. Your arms are not even as strong as the sticks you stab into women's backs at night! Or are your thighs as thin as your sticks? Are you really qualified to be my opponents? Hahahaha!" On the arena stage, rubber braided ropes carried a state. He was wearing delicate fur that seemed to glow. Like a ferocious tiger, he taunted the challengers on the ground.

"Today we celebrate the completion of the construction of the first fortress in the Jungle of Thorns, but this is Winter City, the land of Garm, where only the strong can cheer and rejoice!"

"Woohoo! Come on, who else!"

The sturdy man roared wantonly, and someone outside finally couldn't stand it anymore. He wrapped his fur tightly and turned into a nimble mountain cat, rushing onto the competition platform.

"Hahahaha, I know you, Epimetheus, are trying to become the second Lord Fox Fur, but how can you be my opponent!"

"damn it!"

The strong man roared, but was teased by the mountain cat. Outside the field, Bogold opened his eyes wide, not wanting to miss this exciting fight, but looking at the cat-playing-with-a-mouse scene above, which was completely different from the bloody scene he had imagined, he became furious.

"Beat him, beat him! What are you doing? You loser!"

"Can't you kill him with such a big guy?"

Bogeld was anxious and wanted to rush forward herself, but fortunately a group of people around her stopped her.

In the entire frozen land territory, who can beat her?

It's good enough as long as you don't beat others to a bloody pulp.

"Big Cat! If you defeat him, the gem will be yours!"

Bogeld was furious and threw a sparkling sapphire away. Seeing the sapphire shattered on the ground, many people felt heartbroken, but soon turned into madmen.

This thing is still valuable and has magical effects.

"Lord Bogeld, if I am stronger than him, can I get it too?"

"That's right! Whoever stands last gets this thing."

-

The leader of the Violent War Bear Legion, the arrogant young lady, Lady Bogeld, has gotten into trouble again. She took out all her belongings in the City of Winter, causing an uproar in the entire city. This resulted in 300 people being seriously injured and 1,200 people being slightly injured. Among them, more than 20 people would have died if they had not covered themselves with furs and turned into beasts to recover from their injuries. In short, the entire night of the City of Winter was filled with wailing.

After hearing the news, Ryan couldn't help but roll down from the mountain of gold again.

"How did she get the idea?"

Ryan coughed twice and said with wide eyes, then looked at Avril, who was slightly angry in front of him, with some embarrassment.

"I'm going back today. I'm not sure if I can leave these gold coins here."

"But then again, this girl has helped me a lot."

"I finally figured out how to play this game."

Yes, the game. In the game, what is the first thing the adventurers do when they open their eyes every day?
Of course, it’s those red dots that look like obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Every day’s activities are new, every day’s rewards are improvements, the key lies in – activities.

How come the Northern Brave Guild has no activities?

Winter limited edition - the brave man's carnival!

"Hey Hey……"

Ryan grabbed Avril.

"Let's go to Lingdu City in a couple of days to see what's going on."

"Xilulu——"

Lingdu City.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the tall warhorse running in the city. No one tried to stop it from moving around freely in the city. No matter where it went, even if it broke into the Chamber of Commerce to eat the precious food inside, before anyone from the Chamber of Commerce could come up to drive it away, someone would already stand in front of it and throw a handful of copper coins at it.

"Don't disturb my mount."

"yours?"

"It will be mine soon."

The man raised his head proudly and patted the knight's sword given to him by Viscount Miles on his waist. He was a noble knight.

"In two days, Lord Ryan will come to Lingdu City to inspect his wealth. The Northland Brave Guild will hold a brave competition to please the distinguished master."

"But unexpectedly, after hearing about it, Lord Ryan said that he would give a warhorse to the brave warrior who won in the end to encourage his great courage, saying that the brave warrior came to conquer the dragon and save his people, not just to please his emotions."

"This warhorse comes from the Frozen Territory. It will belong to me because I will definitely win the final victory."

Clatter, clatter, a few more silver coins fell, but they came from another knight, who reached out to touch the warhorse's mane.

"Valentin, I don't need you to pay for my mount."

"Hunter!"

The knight was furious, as if his wife had been insulted, and rushed forward to stop the other party's big hand.

"You are not allowed to get near my mount!"

"And you've never beaten me!"

Valentine patted the knight's sword at his waist and looked up.

"You lost to me six times. The first time, Sally belonged to me. The sixth time, this sword belonged to me."

Hearing this, the knight named Hunter's nostrils flared and he clenched his fists in anger, but he calmed down the next moment.

"I will win."

He snorted coldly and turned away without saying anything. So what if it was six times? As long as he won this last time, he would have completely defeated Knight Valentine.

Watching his defeated opponent leave confidently, Valentine felt confused.

"Why is he so confident?"

He muttered to himself, and then heard the discussions around him.

There is no way. The knights have strong sixth senses, and as long as they appear, they will be the focus of the crowd around them.

"Lord Hunter lost to Lord Valentine six times, but I heard that last night, Lord Hunter even left Boy in the tavern and rushed to the Beigall Blacksmith Shop next to the Northern Brave Guild to order a knight's sword."

"I heard that the person who received the order is the apprentice of Master Brock, who forged the legendary longsword. He is also of noble blood. The sword will definitely receive guidance from Master Brock."

"Ah? That's Boy."

The people around were extremely shocked, thinking of the woman in the tavern whose breasts could fill ten beer glasses, and then the people around them started drinking.

Damn, they weren't like this before.

"Oh, yes, Lord Hunter is fighting for this warhorse!"

The man reacted, and at that moment, he threw all the other thoughts out of his mind, and looked at the northern warhorse that was eating with burning eyes.

The three elements of a knight are armor, weapons, and mounts, but there is no boy.

"So this time...will Lord Hunter defeat Lord Valentine?"

"Of course. My second uncle's sister-in-law's husband's cousin has a good relationship with the uncle of a cook in Viscount Miles's mansion. I heard that Lord Valentine defeated Lord Hunter because of a weapon given by his father-in-law."

From a distance, Valentine could hear clearly that those people had no control over their voices.

"Is that so?"

Valentine thought of the previous fights. Indeed, he was always able to make a few holes in Hunter's weapon, but his own weapon was not as good.

But now the other party actually bought the products of the Frozen Territory. How could he be so lucky that the blacksmiths around Master Brock of the Frozen Territory happened to be free.

Looking at the knight's long sword at his waist, it didn't seem so fragrant anymore.

"No, I want to buy one too!"

"It's okay as a backup."

Looking at the warhorse beside him, Valentine made up his mind.
