Throne of the North.

Chapter 481: Millions of Spirits, Burning Ocean

One million spiritualities, Ryan was stunned at first sight, but he could hardly suppress his dissatisfaction at the second sight.

Because it’s not right, the quantity is wrong.

He gained the loyalty of all humans in Nidhogg, which should not be this number.

"It's been used."

Ryan gradually understood that the power of the Dragon Emperor on him was a blessing, the dragon spirit, no, the blessing of the Dragon Emperor, which consumed a full million spiritual powers.

With a million spiritual powers left, can Ryan try again?

No, it won't work, because even the millions of spiritual powers consumed before were not actually power, but a ritual of awakening to awaken the favor of the Dragon Emperor in Ryan.

It is like a sacrifice, a wisp of fire to attract the power of the great existence.

It cannot be copied and may never appear again.

Because the last of the Dragon Emperor's power had disappeared in the battle with Surtur, and the Dragon Emperor had already fallen. What could Ryan use to accept the power of the non-existent Dragon Emperor?

The Dragon God of this world knew that Lion had this power, so he made a deal with Surtur in order to consume the Dragon Emperor's last resort.

He was half successful and half failed. Now Surtur has returned to the flame. The sea water cannot extinguish the flame with Surtur's presence, and the flame cannot destroy the world. The two great beings are in a stalemate.

The same thing happened in the north, where the giant flaming sword and the dragon's body were facing each other in a fierce confrontation.

Ryan no longer had the strength to resist the Great Being.

"There is no divine intervention in this world."

The only legacy the Dragon Emperor left to Ryan was these millions of cold spirits.

"You can't spend it all, you can't spend it all."

Ryan took a deep breath, and his soul thinking seemed to have returned to the level of a human being. He was immersed and intoxicated in these millions of spiritualities.

The last time was when Meyers delivered five million gold coins to Master Ryan’s castle.

"Even if I use all of it to bless the soldiers, I can quickly have an army of 100,000 trainee knights."

Ryan couldn't help but fantasize in his heart that with 100,000 apprentice knights, he really had the courage to rush into the imperial capital to ask Emperor Flor why he didn't promote his title, making it so difficult for him to recruit nobles in the North Wind Province.

"When my thoughts exploded before, I should have thought of something more daring."

It is impossible to have an army of 100,000 knights. Master Ryan will be bankrupted by the food in one day, they will starve to death and rush into the south to plunder in two days, and they will all be dead in three days.

If they are not well fed, even the knights will not be able to fight.

"Food is the primary need of the people, and farming is the most important thing."

Ryan came back to his senses and looked at the thousands of people kneeling in front of him. In fact, there were many more people kneeling in the distance, but Ryan could not see them by standing on tiptoe now.

This is the source of millions of spiritualities, and the identity of the Chosen Dragon has brought Ryan unimaginable rewards.

The power of the Dragon Emperor has an invisibly impacted all the people of this world.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. The world of Nidhogg has been ruled by the Chosen Dragon and the legend of the Chosen Dragon for many years. How could it be possible that Ryan could overturn it just within a few months of arriving in this world?

Inheritance is often easier than creation.

"The threat from the south has disappeared, Brand. Send the legion to migrate the population from the north to the south. There is not much time left in the spring, so we need to hurry and sow the seeds."

"Follow your wishes."

The Bucks Legion fanatically carried out Ryan's orders. From now on, they were no longer even doing it for vulgar reasons like wealth and glory, but were fanatical followers of Ryan.

Ryan himself didn't know whether he should ask these people what kind of psychological changes his previous power had brought to them.

Anyway, it is certain that the arm driver must use the same method as the arm driver.

"A million spiritual beings, the army needs to take it slow, and the food can catch up with the number of troops."

"But maybe we can consider the thorny jungle on the northern side of the Great Wall."

Ryan did not forget his spiritual plant - Nastlund.

What was the first thing Mr. Ryan did after he got the money? He invested in the Northern Chamber of Commerce, the BJ Heroes Guild, and talents, all for the sake of more wealth.

Therefore, Master Ryan, who has millions of spiritualities, also wants to use these millions of spiritualities to create more spiritualities.

Sustainable development is the most important thing.

Nastrund was his only choice.

Three days later.

While observing the population migration, Ryan received news from the knight's squire.

"Master, the sea, the sea is burning!"

The servant was a little panicked, but after learning the details, Ryan was surprised at Surtur's power.

The sea water began to burn, and the raging flames floated on the vast ocean like a layer of grease. The huge waves from all directions could not extinguish it.

The fiery red sky replaced the original color of the sky, and countless people stood on the shore looking at the ocean world in the south in horror.

Until a loud dragon roar was heard.

The blue tidal dragon was larger than any dragon Ryan had ever seen. It roared angrily, and the sky turned deep blue in an instant. The strong wind brought heavy rain, and huge waves like a wall on the sea came from far away, covering the sea with flames.

"This is……"

Ryan stood on the mudflat at the southernmost end of the land, looking at a black line at the end of his field of vision. It was visibly visible to the naked eye that the sea level had dropped again.

“It should surpass the legend, right?”

What is a dragon that surpasses legend? It must be a demigod.

It is fighting against Surtur's forces.

Another day passed, and finally, the burning ocean was extinguished.

But the world's disaster did not end. With the end of this spectacular scene, the whole world seemed to become uneasy. It was clearly the peak time of spring, but there was always a layer of haze in the sky of Nidhoggr. The sunlight in the sky was no longer bright enough. The monsters in the mountains and forests were all panicked and wandered around, causing the population migration to be affected.

The Stag Legion rushed around, but could only barely drive away the monsters.

“They are afraid.”

“The world is no longer stable.”

After returning to Rhino Horn Mountain, Ryan came to this conclusion, and Master McKen had a serious expression on his face.

"When the world falls into doomsday, countless disasters will happen in advance, and that world has already happened."

Under the power of the Dragon Emperor and Surtur, after the power of the Dragon Emperor's favor to Lion awakened, it absorbed not only millions of spiritualities, but also the authority of the entire world belonging to the Dragon Emperor.

At the same time, within an hour after Ryan returned to Rhinohorn Mountain, in the far north.

The wind and snow flooded the earth, forming a vast snowfield. Deep in the mountains, a terrible frost dragon was sleeping.

Areris suddenly opened his eyes, his dark golden dragon pupils focused, and he seemed to see huge waves covering him.

"Isabella!!!"

Areris roared angrily, and the next moment the thick ice on the surface of his body shattered instantly. In the violent wind and snow of the northern border, the outline of the dragon became a shadow in the sky. It quickly flew towards the southern sky and soon entered the frozen land.

On the fortress defense line, thousands of people looked up and watched the giant dragon flying over their heads. The next moment, the burning signal crossbow on the watchtower flew towards the Winter City. Five magic arrows were fired in succession, and the army under the Rhino Horn Mountain gathered and guarded around the Rhino Horn Mountain.

Ryan stood on the mountain and watched the huge dragon appear.

"Sir Areris, you are awake."

The dragons sleep and wake up, and each process usually takes a long time, because their lifespan is too long. Sometimes a human's life span is not as long as a dragon's sleep. "You smell like Isabella."

Ryan's figure was reflected in the dragon's pupils. Areris' head circled around Ryan. Brand next to him had his hand on the hilt of the sword. Not far away, there was a slight sound of gears turning in Rose's arm.

"Isabella? Who is this again?"

"The daughter of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, a traitor, she became a follower of the noble Dragon God and gained the power of the tides."

"She used to be... a human."

Ryan's eyes widened.

"Humanity?"

"Dragon Chosen?"

"You know the Chosen Dragon. It seems you have been to that world."

Ryan was silent, then looked at Areris.

"Sir Areris, I wonder if you would like to go to Nidhogg? I have already conquered that world."

snort~
Areris laughed, with wind and snow swirling in his breath.

"There are tens of thousands of dragons in that world. It's impossible for you to do that. Even the crown of the Dragon Emperor can't make you recognized by the dragons."

Ryan was still wearing the Dragon Emperor's crown, which was very good for the body. He opened a huge door and walked in.

"Come in and take a look."

Areris was a little hesitant. He was afraid to return to his previous world because he would be recognized and then be hunted by countless dragons.

But Areris' calmness was only temporary. He followed Ryan in. As long as he followed Ryan, he could easily leave Nidhogg.

But the moment its body squeezed into Nidhogg, Areris's entire huge body tensed up, and terrifying power was released. It looked at the surrounding environment with extreme vigilance.

Not far away, the knight squires of the Stag Legion seemed to be... dismembering a giant dragon. It was a dragon cub, that's what it looked like to Areris.

But that's not the point, it breathes the air of this world fiercely.

"What's going on here?"

Its eyes were full of danger. It felt the immense chaos and violence in this world. The terrible power was echoing in the south and north of the world. There were buzzing sounds coming from deep in the ground. That was the wailing of the land. There was also an uneasy atmosphere in the forest. The power belonging to Isabella on the ocean was also wantonly destroying the balance of the magic ocean.

"What you saw is all. I made a deal with a great being. He will help me fight against the two great beings who are still sleeping, but something may have gone wrong in the process."

"He is fighting. Surtur at dusk is no pushover. He is much more terrifying than Hobiyidu. He wants to kill the two sleeping gods and devour their essence."

"Then, the tidal dragon appeared."

Ryan said this, Areris stared at Ryan, then looked at the human army in the distance. There were indeed no dragons over this land. This shouldn't be the case. They would not give up human faith and the Dragon Emperor's legacy.

So, Ryan did rule over this land where humans lived.

"How did you make a deal with Him?"

Areris couldn't understand how humans dared to face the great existence directly. If they couldn't look directly at it, the gods would simply ignore mortals like ants.

"It's a secret."

Ryan said, then asked.

"That Isabella, what's going on? Is it that tidal dragon? She seems exceptionally powerful."

"Isabella is the world's first Chosen Dragon. According to the timeline, she should be more than two thousand years old."

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor chose her as the Chosen Dragon. Isabella is the only dragon monarch in this world who possesses both reason and dragon power, because the Dragon Emperor gave her part of his essence."

"But later, in order to gain even greater power, Isabella chose to submit to another great being. She sacrificed her own Dragon Emperor essence, allowing that great Dragon God to steal some of the Dragon Emperor's authority."

"In return, the Dragon God granted Isabella the power of tides, allowing her to rule the ocean of Muspel while the Dragon God slept."

"At that time, Isabella was the most powerful dragon in all of Nidhogg."

"I didn't expect she was still alive."

Areris found it a little hard to believe. It was not easy for such a powerful dragon to stay alive. The gods would be hostile and the legends would covet her heart.

But in Nidhogg, it doesn't seem strange.

"She extinguished Surtur's flame, which is a good thing. At least this world will not be burned to ashes in the flames."

"But Surtur is not someone you can easily mess with. In his previous deal with the Dragon God, he took control of half of the dragons in this world. The Isabella you mentioned should be the trump card left by the Dragon God."

Ryan said this when the legendary tidal dragon appeared. Ryan roughly understood the Dragon God's methods. After all, the Dragon God, who was still sleeping, did not have enough power to backstab Surtur.

"Next, it's our war with the dragon. Lord Areris, do you want to take revenge on those former enemies?"

Ryan asked, the frost dragon Areris is still very scary. When Earl Clayton came to the Frozen Territory before, he did not try to hunt the dragon and dig out its heart.

You have to know that the Dragon Knight Count killed quite a few dragons, and he had some left over to share with his heirs like Ryan who seemed unimportant before.

When Areris heard Ryan's words, greedy desire flashed in his eyes, and the instinct of killing was engraved deep in his soul.

"The giant dragon in the north is very powerful. He has the upper hand in the confrontation with the Dragon God. Even the Dragon Emperor's legacy is in his possession. All the Dragon Chosen are his servants."

"It doesn't matter, we have allies too."

Ryan pointed in a direction where there were forests and mountains blocking the way. Areris flew into the sky. It couldn't see, but it could feel the terrible hot breath.

Surtur's followers, the people of Dusk, those dragons that were turned into Dusk's followers by Surtur in the first transaction, are waging war with the dragons in the north over the ocean.

Surtur, angry and burning, wants to ignite every inch of Aesir with eternal flames. He wants to devour the entire world.

This also gave Ryan the opportunity to try to hunt the dragons in this world. Whether it was dragon blood or dragon bones, dragon hearts or dragon scales, everything on the dragon's body or even around the dragon was a huge fortune.

However, the effect is not very good at the moment. Ryan just harvested his first dragon, and he did it with the help of the Frost Giants. Otherwise, the human army alone would not be able to kill those dragons that could escape from the battlefield at any time.

If Areris could help, that would be a possible outcome, as this frost dragon and the native dragons of this world don't get along well.

After a brief thought, Areris agreed to Lion's invitation, spread his wings and took off into the air in an instant, leaving a frost area with a diameter of hundreds of meters on the ground, and then flew towards a distant direction, where the frost giant Lagerlov was fighting with a legendary frost dragon.

"Doyle!!! I'm back!"

Areris roared angrily, and in an instant, two extremely icy white dragon breaths collided in the sky. Areris, who returned for revenge, rushed towards the Frost Dragon frantically.

Ryan called the knight servants on the other side and opened the door to the plane.

"Go tell Master McKen that I need him to help me get the sealing and storage items from the magicians as quickly as possible. Losing even a drop of dragon blood will be a huge loss."

"Tell him to go find the lady. All the gold coins in the treasury can be used by Master McKen."

After the servants left, Ryan could only watch the battle in the distance. The wealth in this world was unimaginable. It was a feast. If handled properly, he could obtain wealth that was countless times greater than the reward from the transaction with Meyers.

Whether Master Ryan can completely rise up within the empire and become a lord that cannot be ignored depends on this time.

Ryan couldn't leave by himself, because if he left, Areris would be nervous. Although Ryan didn't know how Areris left Nidhogg before, it was obvious that it couldn't come and go freely. If it was locked in Nidhogg, ten Areris would die under the siege of the dragon.

Ryan had to let it fight with peace of mind. As a reward, Master Ryan only wanted a little bit of dragon blood, a little bit of dragon meat, a little bit of dragon bones, a little bit of dragon scales, etc., not too much at all.

"Where's Bogard? Tell her to come back quickly and give her the armored bear."

Ryan shouted loudly. If he didn't use this method, he would never be able to find the happy Bogdard, because even his own scouts didn't know where the girl had gone to fight the dragon cub.

Every time he came back he was seriously injured.

Most of the dozens of drops of holy water Ryan obtained from Archbishop Adriana had to be kept for Bogeld.
