Throne of the North.

Chapter 45 Monster Eggs and Iron Ore
After all, Ryan still had the physique of a formal knight. After being fully prepared, he stepped on the wall in three or two steps and landed on the ground.

At this time, the nearly 15-meter-long Frost Python was lying quietly on the ground, with a large amount of blood and flesh flowing out from its abdomen. As for Brand and Harrington, they were still holding the Frost Python's head and tail tightly.

"It was so easy to kill him."

Harrington's eyes also revealed disbelief. He looked at Brand, who was covered in blood, and a rare trace of awe appeared in his eyes.

"So, am I so weak?"

At this moment, Ryan finally realized that his noble attributes seemed to be more than his knight attributes. Could it be that he had lived too peacefully in his previous life and had no way to deal with danger?
"Fortunately, I'm young enough."

Ryan thought so, it seems that he can no longer be a noble who only knows how to enjoy himself.

In these few minutes, Brand's performance did not disappoint the series of entries at the beginning.
By keeping an eye on all sides, he helped Ryan avoid the most dangerous attack of the Frost Python. Later, he quickly made the best countermeasure and used the knight's longsword swallowed by the Frost Python to kill this powerful monster. In the process, he even paid attention to Harrington, who would be knocked away if he used the greatsword to resist.

The Frost Python can be killed using the knight's longsword, and having Harrington control the Frost Python's tail can minimize casualties. Otherwise, if the python goes crazy and swings its body with terrible power wildly, there will definitely be deaths here.

"Have you ever hunted such a monster before?"

Ryan asked curiously. It was the first time for him to come into contact with the magical beast that the nobles were so afraid of. Even from beginning to end, this giant frost python had not released any magic.

It didn't stand a chance and died at Brand's hands.

Brand nodded and said:
"On the continent of Exnel, only powerful wild beasts and magical beasts have a chance to survive the harsh winter. They are very good at lurking in the wind and snow to hunt."

With more experience, you will naturally know what to do.

"In that case, the flesh and blood of this frost python will be given to you and Harrington."

"Thank you, Master Ryan."

Brand's eyes lit up, and after expressing his gratitude, he took out the dagger from his body, cut open the python's skull along the corner of its mouth, and after a moment, he took out a blue prismatic crystal two fingers wide from the python's skull.

"Magic crystal!"

Brand handed the magic crystal to Ryan, who was also a little surprised. This thing was hundreds of times more expensive than the same weight of gold.

This small magic crystal is worth at least two thousand gold coins.

"Hahaha! I made a lot of money this time."

Ryan laughed, and at this moment, another soldier called out:
"Baron, here are three eggs!"

The soldier's exclamation made Ryan's eyes light up, and he soon came to a messy dead branches. In the nest built by the Frost Python, there were three large snow-white eggs, each as big as an adult's head.

"Frost python egg."

Ryan's breathing became a little rapid. Many nobles wanted to tame Warcraft, but most of the Warcraft could not be tamed. The only way was to use magic circles to brand the Warcraft before it was completely born, and then completely tame it through super-high standards of training during the days after the Warcraft was born and grew up.

After all, the intelligence of Warcraft is no less than that of humans.

"It seems that this frost python appeared in the frozen land territory because of these three eggs."

More than 90% of biological cubs require a relatively warm environment during the gestation and birth process. For the Frost Python, which is supposed to live in the depths of the North, its cubs also need to survive in the mild place in the south until they adapt to the cold and gradually return to the colder place in the North.

"This hole shouldn't have been dug by itself." Harrington staggered over with the help of a soldier and said to Ryan.

"Master Ryan, this should be a mineral vein."

"The temperature of the mineral veins is often higher than other places. The Frost Python, which thrives in a harsh winter environment, should also have a high sense of temperature."

Nodding, Ryan ordered several soldiers to dig farther away.

Sure enough, within a moment, a fist-sized piece of iron ore appeared in front of Ryan.

"Northern Wind Province has nothing but iron ore. Sure enough, my territory should not be without ore veins."

Ryan laughed. His territory could finally have a stable source of income.

Of course, the more important purpose of iron ore now is to meet domestic demand.

And now is not the time to mine.

"We need to protect this place first, then go to Lingdu County to buy some spell scrolls, and after these three eggs hatch, we can start mining the iron ore."

Ryan looked at the three quiet frost python eggs, wondering if one or two could be successfully hatched.

……

"That hole must have been secretly mined by someone in the past. The Frozen Territory has not had a lord for decades, but the people living here are not completely ignorant of the surroundings."

Hearing Ryan's words, Rosen, who was following behind him, asked:

"After we return, are we going to capture the villagers from the frozen land?"

Ryan waved his hand and said:

"It's not necessary. Besides, all the carpenters and blacksmiths in the frozen land have fled to warmer places. The blacksmiths should be the ones who know this place."

"Besides, if they knew, they would have told me long ago after seeing how the Bain family was treated."

Good news came one after another. With the discovery of monster eggs and iron ore veins, some of the serfs brought by Ryan actually discovered places and soil suitable for planting on their way back.

"Very good. From now on, I will pardon your slavery. From now on, you and your family will become my people."

The rough man named Dudley suddenly knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Ryan.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."

You should know that in the Frozen Territory, it is different from other places. Civilians can be allocated their own houses. Although they are transformed from slaves into civilians, they only have the right to use the house but not the ownership. However, through hard work, in ten or twenty years, they can make the house completely belong to them.

As a result of this good news, there has not been any fierce conflict in the Frozen Territory until now, even when Ryan was not around.

Looking at the vast mountainous land in front of him, Ryan had no emotion about the small things he had given out as rewards. He just hoped that this land could be reclaimed into more fields suitable for farming.
