Throne of the North.

Chapter 468: Kingdom Tour, the Changing World

When dusk came, Ryan was already at Rhino Horn Mountain. Looking at the fiery sunset above his head, Ryan missed his old friend Surtur.

"Just be brave. If you respond to me, I will find someone to sacrifice for you and then let you come to Norris Continent."

"This way, we can all see if the great Lord of the Dawn, the God of Light, is still watching over this world."

Master Ryan's life was leisurely. Perhaps it was because the dragon cub was taught a lesson after returning, or perhaps it described terrible monsters in the circle to scare children. In any case, no dragons appeared in the human territory in the next few days.

However, Surtur, who was missed by Master Ryan, was living in dire straits.

It's really a tough situation.

Every time he stretched out his hand to capture a dragon and make it his own, he had to leave the world of fire and then endure the invasion of the laws of the entire world and the damage of the power of great beings. When he took his hand back, because it was contaminated with the original breath of other great beings, the flames also madly burned the abnormality in Surtur's body, causing Surtur to howl in pain over and over again.

His howl made him even angrier, and this rage made Surtur even stronger, and then he reached out his hand to catch the dragon from farther away, and the cycle continued in a cycle of even more pain.

Gradually, the target of his anger and hatred even changed direction a little, and the flaming giant stared fixedly towards the north.

The other party has always been targeting himself, that damn guy. His will has not yet awakened, but his body's instincts are constantly targeting himself, the sudden alien.

Is Surtur a person who will just accept his fate? No, absolutely not. He will take revenge, a terrible revenge in boundless rage.

Surtur finally swung the flaming sword, and the blazing flames, brighter than a meteor, streaked across the sky of the world of Nidhogg, starting from the flaming world of Muspel in the south and falling on the land of Esil in the north.

He used his weapon to tear open a crack in space. No, rather, he used his weapon to turn it into a crack that looked like a crack.

At this moment, the icy cold wind rushed into the world of Nidhogg through the bright red portal that was a crack or a hole. The cold wind swept through forever. This was not an ordinary force, but the wind and snow of the north. Their arrival froze the surging sea water. A thin layer of ice appeared on the sea surface visibly in the northernmost part of the world.

A giant dragon dived into the sea and felt the extreme cold. It rushed out of the sea with a start, only to find a thin layer of ice appeared above its head.

It violently exhaled dragon breath, and the pure and extreme energy broke the ice. When it flew into the sky, it found that the world around it was filled with wind and snow.

Surtur was powerful in his rage, but he was also insidious, forcing that great instinctive power to be diverted to fight the cold wind from the north.

He succeeded, and the dragon's body's instinctive divine essence began to stop the emergence of the North, allowing Surtur to free up more power to capture the dragon.

However, the world has lost its original stability as a result.

……

Frozen collar.

Master Ryan has already started his spring outing with the Baroness.

Before he knew it, this strange world of Nidhogg had already delayed his progress for three months.

"Nidhogg has a large population, but those people cannot be placed in the frozen land for the time being. However, I believe that it won't be long before there will be no more unnecessary voices in the North."

Ryan's voice was clear, and Avril was sensible enough not to ask more questions. In the end, they were connected first, married, and then got to know each other.

Ryan was also reluctant to talk too much about political issues, but instead focused on the future.

"The construction of the Kingdom of Serra is almost complete. His Majesty McReynolds has reached a good cooperation with us. With the intervention of extraordinary power, the capital is almost of sufficient size. Most importantly, our Northern Brave Guild was established very quickly."

"You will like it there. The adventurers can bring you many precious magic materials."

Speaking of magic crops, Ryan has harvested quite a few during this period. After all, the world of dragons has the most of these things. There are so many magic crops that even the old scholar Master McKen has to write a letter to the Magic Academy to inquire whether they have ever appeared in the records of magic.

The destination of this spring outing is the Kingdom of Serra. The King of Serra invited Baron Ryan to witness the establishment of the royal city. In order to avoid political and diplomatic problems, Ryan did not even bring many knights and attendants.

The Kingdom of Andara was not within the target range of this trip. After all, it was King Sera who invited them, and the relationship between the two kingdoms is getting worse and worse. Of course, the Kingdom of Andara is still embroiled in the war until now, so it is not a good choice for a spring outing.

"The Sera royal family has many griffins. They are the favorite companions of magicians. I will ask for a cub for you when the time comes."

A grown-up griffin is not so approachable anymore, and it is a magical beast after all, and magical beasts are difficult to tame. Even for a magical beast like the griffin, which is known to be the easiest to tame, an adult griffin is still a problem.

God knows how Brock's griffin mount recognized him. Ryan asked this question, and Master Brock scratched his head and answered a question that he himself didn't know the answer to.

There's nothing wrong with it. Brock just hammers iron all day long. How could he have any experience in taming? It would be better to ask about the relationship between Bogold and the armored bear.

"Just give him a beating."

Bogeld said that proud girls always have pure ways and are very likely to succeed.

Ryan told many stories in the carriage. He had experienced a period of wild imagination, and Avril naturally laughed happily.

After a long time, Ryan opened the curtains and said to Sven outside:
"Mr. Sven, you have tried to approach the carriage several times. As a bard, I understand your curiosity about these stories, but I think Brand is about to put that sword to your neck."

"In order to make my guardian knight feel more relaxed, you should first state your request."

Ryan laughed, and Sven, who followed behind him, as a bard, did not care about the manor that had not been built yet and the wealth he had obtained even though he had become a lord. He squandered the money and treated many people to drinks. The Viscountess's father, Lord Yazhe, had been grinning from ear to ear recently. He was in charge of all the taverns in the Frozen Territory.

"Lord Ryan."

Sven came up and said:
"Merciful Master Ryan, can I use the Lord's reward in exchange for a condition?"

"I heard that you spent all your money in the tavern. The people of Garm in Winter City admired you so much that there was even a berserker who turned into a beast to help you collect the first pot of dew on the mountain."

"You've spent all your money, and now you want to change it?"

Sven scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't care about so many things.

"Tell me, what do you want to change?"

Ryan actually already had the answer in his mind. Having Sven follow the team was a test in itself.

"I would like to ask Lord Baron to help Millie expel the power of the dragon essence from her body."

"That would make her a monster."

"That little girl." Ryan remembered the native girl from Nidhogg who followed Sven, a follower of the Chosen Dragon. Windsor had a good relationship with her. And the executioner. The dull natives were not their own fault, but the result of mental oppression brought about by the rule of the dragon monarch of that world.

"My Lordship is not cheap."

Avril said beside him. Sven's answer did not surprise Ryan, but made Avril feel puzzled.

Sven did not deny that he had been very happy before, otherwise he would not have gone out to show off, but the bard's yearning for the freedom and wind made him see his own heart.

Without the careful consideration after drinking, the bard would not have had such a choice.

"Sven, you know what? Sacrificing to the dragon monarchs is actually not a bad thing. It's just that those dragon monarchs never take the essence."

"Humanity's faith and sacrifice to the dragon monarch is actually a manifestation of loyalty to the monarch and faith in the fallen great being behind the monarch."

"I have inherited this power. I can make the blessing of the dragon spirit complete. I think you should know what I am talking about."

"So far, only Brand has accepted this blessing and turned it into his own strength."

"You are too repulsive. It seems that the great dragon lord Drummond has left a lot of bad impressions on you. As a human, I think he is a very respectable dragon chosen one."

Sven can't see Drummond as a person the way Ryan does.

But he understood what Ryan said. Currently, only Commander Brand had achieved this achievement.

He was a little frustrated, but still firm in his request.

"I can't help her. Or rather, I'm the only one who can't help her."

"This blessing already exists. As a follower of the Chosen Dragon, she is much luckier than you. At least if she tries, she can bear the blessing I give her, but you..."

Ryan shook his head. Sven was still confused, so he asked directly.

"Master Ryan, is there any way to help Millie?"

"It's very simple. Just let her follow..."

Ryan pointed at Bogeld, then retracted his finger and pointed at Etria.

"Let her practice with Etria. When her physical fitness can bear it, I will bless her and help her to obtain complete strength. After that, she will be very powerful."

In front, Bogurd was getting anxious, and the armored bears under him slowed down. The carriage passed the standard-bearer, and the standard-bearer walking in the front fell beside the carriage. The huge body of the armored bear Volibear pushed Sven away roughly. Ryan turned his head and saw the fat metal belly, and then looked at Bogurd, who kept his head raised outside the window without saying a word.

"Bogeld is a very good warrior."

Avril said with a smile, which made Bogeld look at her with much more satisfaction.

This is not easy.

"If we train with her, won't the Tundra Territory have a second commander of the Boggard Legion? Who will we hand over the Armored Bear Legion to then?"

Ryan pretended to think, Bogold looked at him with wide eyes, then without saying a word he grabbed the armored bear and made it run to the front of the team again.

On North Wind Avenue, because of the beginning of spring, the number of caravans coming and going has increased, thanks to the contribution made by Master Ryan.

After all, with the protection of Master Ryan, the caravans can enter and exit the eastern kingdom much more smoothly. This is the border, and if it can go smoothly, it means a steady flow of wealth.

Therefore, on this North Wind Road, the caravans tacitly agreed not to think about such sensitive topics as why the Northern Baron of the Empire left the Empire and went to the Kingdom.

It’s better to just ignore things that affect their ability to make money.

The flag of Rhino Horn Mountain slowly drove into the land of the Serra Kingdom. The road finally became easier. After a year of changes, not many ferocious beasts were seen along the way. This cross-border road was also beginning to gain the trust of all parties.

From the empire to the kingdom, the most visible change is the surrounding environment. There is no difference between the Kingdom of Serra and other kingdoms. It is filled with the breath of wild land everywhere. Only after passing through the forests and canyons can you see the inhabited aristocratic territories, and then the uninhabited roads begin again. Here, forget about maintaining the beautiful environment, the circulation of population is a huge problem.

The exchange and circulation of population between the nobles' territories is strictly prohibited, otherwise the Empire's Chamber of Commerce would not have easily occupied the trade share of this land.

Ryan guessed that the Northern Brave Guild he brought with him might change the environment of the kingdom and allow the historical development of this land to keep up with the pace of the empire.

The nobles could not see it, but Ryan saw it clearly. In the empire, part of the population could move around. This seemingly insignificant point alone made the empire's development efficiency surpass that of all kingdoms.

In short, the scenery of the kingdom was no better than that of the empire. It was not until they got close to the royal city and saw the hustle and bustle of traffic that Avril's eyes finally became more curious.

"These people are loyal to those wandering nobles. I gave them a suggestion. The capital of the Sera Kingdom is the center of the entire kingdom. A lot of labor is needed here. Whether it is for the service of the royal griffin mounts or for various problems in the capital itself, manpower is needed."

“Now it seems that they have seized this opportunity.”

Before the invention of machines, the wealth brought by human power was the greatest. There are no mortal affairs in the extraordinary world, and similarly, the extraordinary will not interfere in mortal civilization.

This makes the labor force here particularly eye-catching.

Of course, there is also a part that belongs to Ryan.

Most of his wealth in the kingdom was indirect.

"Count Ryan, you are finally here. You may not know that recently the people in Carlos's family are as irritable as rhinos in heat. They chase people and bite them without letting go."

"Mr. Count Fragoso."

Noble Ryan was very polite and said to Count Fragoso with a smile:

"The angrier they are, the more you, Count Fragoso, have gained, right? It seems that part of this royal city belongs to you."

“Hahahaha, Earl Ryan, you are right, but it’s not just me and your majesty. Your Northern Brave Guild is very gorgeous, and your majesty helped you build an arena.”

"He needs to select warriors to become knights of the Griffin Legion."

"I also want to see the difference between the adventurers of the Sera Kingdom and the adventurers of the Empire."
