Throne of the North.

Chapter 473 Wealth and Truth

The present-day North, a world of ice and snow, once had a prosperous human civilization.

In the spring of the new year, the ruins of human buildings were discovered in the dungeons where the gray-skinned goblins used to live, which made the hungry adventurers in Lingdu City excited.

Naturally, the nobles were involved in pushing this matter to the top.

"That is the fief of my Burns family! My ancestor vowed to live and die with the land, and he left the Burns family's most precious treasure with him."

Some traffic nobles stood up and declared the history of that land.

And the poets also began to tell the magnificent chapters of the world more than a hundred years ago, which was completely different from the world today.

All these little things, every scene, are affecting the minds of the adventurers in Lingdu City.

They are eager to find wealth.

"The Burns family will offer one hundred gold coins to recruit adventurers for help."

The wandering nobleman spoke up and invited adventurers and adventure groups to follow him into the North to retrieve the wealth of the Burns family.

Some bards boldly discussed that perhaps the Burns family still had a lot of wealth that could allow them to exchange for a chance to become nobles, or that former Burns nobles had left behind an extraordinary inheritance that could make people as powerful as bathing in dragon blood.

In private, someone from the Burns family also vaguely revealed something, that is, if all goes well, the Burns family might marry the adventurer.

The fastest way to become a noble is to become a relative of a noble.

In short, in just a few days, the adventurers in Lingdu City could no longer hold back, and some even set out for the North in advance.

Then within two days he was so cold that he ran back.

"You can't go to the North just because you want to. Without warm clothes, strong armor, sharp weapons, or even signs to identify directions, you won't even be able to find food if you enter the North."

"Besides, a person cannot stay in the North forever. Supplies are indispensable, and adventurers cannot travel all over the North with their prey."

"The lords and nobles of the Frozen Territory have established several outposts. Only by staying close to those outposts can we survive in the North for a long time and then go to seek the wealth of the North."

“This is too difficult…”

"Difficult? But you have to understand that once you find wealth, you will have it for this life and the next."

"Which of those adventure groups didn't get new clothes during the God's Grace Festival?"

Boom! ! !
The tall knights entered Lingdu City. People had to look up to see the full appearance of these knights, and some people recognized the badges on these knights.

"Those are dragons. They are Lord Sauron's army!"

Someone exclaimed, saying loudly that he had once followed a noble person to Longshan City and had seen the emblem of Count Sauron.

"Why are they in Lingdu City?"

Feder Solon stayed in Viscount Miles's mansion, and two hours later, the adventurers were excited.

"The Sauron family will go to the north to search for precious dragon blood. They have a powerful army of dragon blood warriors. The noble heir has invited the adventurers of the nobles to go and search for it."

At this time, the previously exposed members of the Burns family appeared again.

"My ancestors once fought against the dragon in that land."

So, these members of the Burns family were invited by Feder to dinner.

People see it with their eyes and feel the warmth in their hearts.

An earl's heir like Feder is a big shot that the entire Lingdu City can hardly look up to.

"Let's go to the North!"

People shouted slogans and began to rush towards the snowy world in the north. In the ice and snow, they really discovered the collapse of the earth.

"It is said that this is brought about by the power of the dragon."

"Deep in this snowy plain, there is a terrifying frost dragon sleeping. It wants to destroy the entire world when it wakes up, but Baron Ryan stops it."

"It's true. I've seen that dragon. It appeared on the battlefield a few years ago. It was so terrifying. At that time, there were giants who controlled thunder and lightning as its enemies."

"A dragon! If I can conquer a dragon, I will also be a dragon rider."

True or false, random news, these are what these adventurers are most happy to hear.

"The Burns family's territory is in this crack. It looks so high. Did the North bury all the land it once belonged to?"

People were confused and surprised. After all, there was snow floating in the dark crack before their eyes. It was cold and lonely, and carried an unknown terror.

"That's right. Lord Earl Solon's family is an ancient noble family that existed before the North. The nobles of the Burns family have visited Lord Earl Solon before. The heir even said that he and the master of the Burns family are relatives."

Since even Count Sauron admitted it, it must be correct.

Some adventurers began to enter the cracks in the earth, but after coming down they discovered that there were already many adventure groups here.

"They are much faster than us."

"Isn't this nonsense? Look over there, it's Master Zoro's knight."

"And the young master of the Burns family."

The number of adventurers is about two to three hundred, and those who can come here are still a minority after all. At the forefront are the knights of Count Sauron's family and a family of nobles who surrendered to Ryan in the Birki world.

The name Burns is real, but has little to do with the land.

However, it doesn't matter whether it matters or not. Sometimes the truth is not important. This piece of land covered by wind and snow has long been without an owner. If you insist on talking about the owner, then the orcs have a lot to say.

Those gray goblins can talk, too.

"These are really the ruins of a town. These ruins can accommodate one or two thousand people, right?"

Members of the Burns family came out and said loudly:

"I'm here for the wealth inherited from my family, and the Burns family just wants to take back what belongs to their family."

"The Sauron family only wants to find dragon blood."

A fully-armed knight also said so.

The two noble representatives spoke, and then directed the adventure groups to move forward and explore.

Humans are still nervous and apprehensive about the unknown and the caves beneath the earth. Adventurers move forward cautiously, groping their way forward bit by bit.

“Ah!!!! There’s a monster!!!”

The gray-skinned goblins were chasing the adventurers. They were very powerful. As the people of Hobie, these gray-skinned goblins were fearless and brave. Even weapons hitting their bodies could not make them retreat in fear.

In addition, Hobie is probably not in a very good mood recently, which has caused his people to show great malice towards living things.

"Kill it now! Don't let it summon other monsters!"

The knight roared, and the members of the adventure group were of higher quality than the adventurers in the wild. They drew their weapons one by one and slashed at the gray-skinned goblin. Strength in numbers brought courage and confidence. The important thing was that this gray-skinned goblin was not incredibly powerful beyond imagination.

Looking at the goblins lying dead on the ground, the adventurers were still frightened. It seemed that this place was not as safe as they had imagined.

This is certain. The reason why a hero becomes a hero is not because he has courage, but because he is able to survive even though he encounters so many terrible monsters and disasters on the way to becoming a hero.

"Look, found it!"

Deep in the ruins, someone shouted in surprise. He dug out a human skeleton from the ruins, broke its hand bones, and raised the arm. On the skeletal arm were a jewel-studded scepter and ring.

The adventurer looked at the people around him looking at him. He stared blankly at the skeletal arm in his hand, then lowered his head to look at the skeleton that was shattered by his kicks, and looked at the members of the Burns family over there with a somewhat unnatural look.

The bones under his feet are most likely the other party's ancestors.

"It's the Viscount's scepter and the badge ring!"

Members of the Burns family hurried over and kicked the skeletons a few more times on the way.

"My father said that our ancestors did not leave the land because it was invaded. The nobles who fled south from the north shamelessly wanted to plunder the Burns family's wealth and wanted to inherit the Burns family's honor and land."

The Burns family members kicked the bones under their feet a few more times.

"He is not my ancestor, but a shameless man who plundered the Burns family's wealth."

The story he told was not false. In a certain alien world, the Burns family really experienced such turmoil and lost all the inherited wealth representing the Burns family. Later, the Burns family followed Master Xisu as wanderers and wandered to Birki's world.

It turns out that the dead person under my feet is not a noble ancestor, that's good.

The adventurer thought so, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the Burns family members expectantly.

"Are you from the Barbarian Bear Adventure Group? Don't worry, I will give you enough rewards to thank you for helping me find the family scepter and ring." On the other side, Count Sauron's knights also led the adventurers deep into the ruins, and more battles broke out.

The gray-skinned goblins here have been cleared out by the Stag Legion, but unexpectedly, there are still quite a few lucky ones hiding.

"For Zoro!"

The knights shouted the glory of Sauron and charged at the gray goblins.

The gray-skinned goblins were still difficult to deal with even with the heavily-armored warriors in front of them. The difficulty in opening the lids of these iron cans meant that the battle began to tilt towards the humans.

Fortunately, the title of Count Sauron made the adventurers help instinctively. After two or three days of fierce fighting, they finally killed all the gray-skinned goblins.

Among the adventurers, there was an extremely lucky guy.

The adventurer was chased by gray-skinned goblins all the way. Once they saw the enemy, they would not retreat. The constant pursuit made the adventurer lose his direction, and he slipped and fell into a deeper crevice, and ended up diving into the dragon blood pool.

The steaming dragon blood pool was like a hot spring. It was diluted many times by Ryan using dragon bone marrow and clean water, so the dragon blood did not contain such violent energy.

The adventurer didn't die from the explosion, but he didn't feel well either.

The best outcome was that he survived, and his strength was no less than that of an apprentice knight who had trained for several years, and his physical strength even exceeded that of many official knights.

He found the dragon's blood and soared into the sky into the extraordinary realm. This scene was witnessed by many people. For a time, jealousy filled all the adventurer circles.

They could not envy the nobles, but they were jealous of the adventurers who had originally started from the same starting line as them.

"Warrior bathed in dragon blood, are you willing to become a warrior of Count Sauron?"

The burly knight asked, and the adventurer wanted to agree, but he didn't dare to lie.

"I am the servant of Lord Baron Kendra."

There is no way to deal with the subjects of the nobles, and the knight already knew the answer when he asked this question.

The other person was wearing the emblem of Baron Kendra's family.

Most of the adventure groups set out on their journey home, because they were invited and recruited by the wandering nobleman Burns and the heir of Earl Sauron's family. The rest stayed in the North to look for more treasures.

Mainly because the adventurer who found the scepter ring and dragon blood became the benchmark of the industry, making these adventurers look at him with eager eyes.

"Do you think he can marry Baron Kendra's daughter when he returns?"

"It's impossible. How could the Baron's daughter marry that brat Cade?"

The adventurers who stayed in the North gnashed their teeth, wondering why they were not the ones who fell into the dragon's blood.

"But at least he can marry a baron's niece. He is also a knight now. I heard that dragon blood is very powerful and can make the son born stronger than other sons."

This was truly heartbreaking, and the adventurers, with red eyes, began to search this ruin that was more than a hundred years old.

You know what, we didn’t find any good things, but we did find a lot of wealth.

When the North arrived, many people could not go south like the far-sighted nobles. As the two adventure groups found a box of gold coins in the conflict, the significance of the adventure reached its peak.

The adventurer's story continues, and in the North Wind Province, the story reaches another climax.

The nobles usually paid little attention to the peasants who ventured to the North, but this time it was different.

"Earl Sauron invites the nobles to go to Longshan City to witness the glory of the Dragonblood Warriors again!?"

The nobles were extremely shocked. It was said that Count Sauron had found a large amount of dragon blood in the North.

Dragon blood, the nobles all knew what dragon blood was, and all the nobles understood what dragon blood meant to Count Sauron and to that extraordinary legion.

After several years of continuous wars, the Dragonblood Warrior Legion was destroyed in bloody battles again and again. The nobles all thought that the family of Count Sauron would be out of the stage for a long time, but the current result was a heavy blow to them.

Dragon blood will not only restore the Dragon Blood Warrior Corps to its former strength, but more importantly, the bloodline of the Dragon Blood Warriors can be inherited.

Now that new dragon blood has been found, Count Sauron's family no longer needs to worry about the reproduction of the Dragon Blood Warrior Legion for the next hundred years.

Among them, the one who gnashed his teeth the most was undoubtedly Earl Winter, the former rival of Earl Sauron and Earl Weiss, and the former Governor of the North Wind.

"That damn old guy, how could he be so lucky that he could find dragon blood in the North."

Earl Winter was so angry that he didn't want to eat the whole day. The Dragon Blood Warrior Corps was revitalized, but his One-Horned Flying Wolf Cavalry Corps was still dying.

"Maybe he didn't find it."

Countess Winter said this calmly.

"Lord Sauron sent his successor with dozens of knights to Lingdu City, and then went to the North for a few days and found the dragon blood."

"It shouldn't be so fast. Dragon blood is usually sealed in a very secret place, so there won't be any leakage of magic power."

Countess Winter said this. As a powerful sanctuary magician, she knew very well how to store dragon blood.

"Unless, he already knew where the dragon blood is."

"That's impossible. Old Muya has never sent anyone to the North. He has personally witnessed the snowstorms in the North killing countless people. He has a great fear of the North. I am the only one who knows about this."

Earl Winter said this. As an old rival, he knew Earl Thoron's past very well. When Earl Thoron was young, the North was like a sharp knight's sword, killing countless people from the north of the world, and finally stopped in front of him.

Deep down in his heart, he has a huge psychological shadow about this.

"So, the dragon blood was not discovered by him, and even that dragon blood does not belong to him."

"But he brought back dragon blood from the North."

"Someone gave it to him."

Countess Winter followed Earl Winter's words, and Earl Winter finally reacted.

"Lian, there is only one possibility. That kid Ryan found dragon blood and gave it to Sauron who needed it the most!"

Count Winter pounded his fist on the desk. The desk was very old, but it looked new in this room. It was an ancient collection from another world that Count Winter bought from Ryan.

"Ryan actually found dragon blood in a winter."

Count Winter was a little jealous. He thought his luck was too good.

The countess next to her frowned.

"Before, the frost dragon Areris awakened for a long time and released inexplicable anger in the North. In addition, some uncertain news came from Meyers that the skeleton of a dragon appeared in the frozen world of the North."

"Maybe, it's this."

Count Winter also remembered it.

"That Chrysos from Meyers also told me about this matter. It seems that he wanted to use this information to win me over, but you asked me to refuse."

Count Winter was puzzled as to why his lady would refuse on her own.

It now appears that there may be a great deal of wealth there.

"You are not a true imperial noble."

Countess Winter said this, and she glanced at the badge on the Earl's clothes. It was not a flower, but a roaring horned flying wolf.

This represents the origin of Earl Winter. The emblems of the ancient nobles of the Flor Empire all used flowers or mountains as symbols.

One of the few differences is that the Earl of Clayton's family uses a dragon as their emblem, but even so, they seem out of tune with other nobles in the empire.

"If it was wealth without danger, the Meyers family would not tell us so easily."

"And even though you rejected him, he didn't send troops to the North. He couldn't have sold the news to Baron Ryan."

"Since Lord Rice's blasphemy, our understanding of the great existence has deepened a lot. It is very likely that there is a god watching behind that incident."

"There is no legend, and we are not qualified to touch it."

Count Winter had a great virtue, which was that he listened to advice. After listening, he stopped dwelling on the matter and asked:

"Are there really so many precious resources in the North?"

The Countess was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"That's two-thirds of Norris's world that has not been visited by humans for more than a hundred years. That vast land can produce endless extraordinary resources."

"The snow of the North can drown the land and prevent food from growing, but it cannot destroy the extraordinary crops."
