Throne of the North.

Chapter 494: Dragon God and the North

Ivar has a second flower of the Dawn in his hand. As long as he can make the will of the Dawn focus on the Dragon God, he will be able to expel him. At that time, this world will completely belong to them.

“Find Him and drive Him out when He is at His weakest.”

This is also the biggest problem. The Dragon God has awakened, and the whole world is cheering for His return. However, the world that should have been full of spring seems a little bleak because of the blowing sea breeze.

The vast ocean was swept in from all directions, and the strong winds brought by the huge waves made the world look like the eve of doomsday.

Ryan had to send troops to patrol the coast.

"No human being is allowed to approach the coast, and all farmland near the sea is abandoned."

Almost on the same day after Ryan gave the order, the waves brought by the tsunami submerged thousands of meters of land inland from the coast. When the sea water receded, even the dilapidated city built on the mudflats lost its last damaged city wall.

The Dragon God is awakening. He holds the most crucial authority of a dragon, which is the control over magic power.

The Dragon God, the Demon Dragon, and the Dragon Emperor, three great beings, each of them possesses the powerful physical vitality of a dragon, the control and affinity over the elements, and the spiritual authority of faith.

The Dragon God is the oldest. His birth seems to come from the vast magical factors. The ocean that magicians pursue throughout their lives, the Dragon God travels in it and absorbs the most original power.

Therefore, when the Dragon God wakes up, the wind, rain, thunder, sky and earth of this world will all belong to Him.

But precisely because he holds such power, the Dragon God is also the one who sleeps the deepest.

Because of the North.

When he was in Exnel, Ryan discovered that in the extreme northern world, the magic factors were no longer active. Even a magician with strong talent like Luna Mage could not go any further. In such an environment, the magic released by the magician would be greatly weakened.

The Dragon God is the most affected by the North. Even though there is no North in Nidhogg's world, He did participate in the war between gods in the other dimensions after all.

"Perhaps, we can use the North to fight against Him."

When Ryan said this, Ivar subconsciously rejected it because as a magician he was not suitable for the environment in the North.

"We cannot actively use the North, and the Dragon God will not surrender."

"And there is no North in this world either."

"No, I already have."

Ryan said this, and then answered:

"My soldiers told me that the weather in the north has turned cold, hail is falling, and snow is blowing in the direction where we were fighting before."

"I guess... it should be during that battle that the power of the gods broke through the barrier of this world. The densely cracked sky brought the North over."

In fact, Surtur is also responsible for this.

Compared to Lion, Surtur was the first one to use the North to try to fight against this world. He threw his weapon, the flaming sword, to the north, tearing a hole that connected to the extreme North outside the world, causing the dragon's body to instinctively suppress the gap.

In any case, the sword made Nidhoggr establish a connection with the North, and then not long ago, the power of the angel shattered the northern sky, the barrier of the world was broken, and the power from outside poured into Nidhoggr.

That is the North.

"The Dragon God has just awakened. He needs this world to provide him with more essence. However, if the threat from the North exceeds his expectations, he will definitely leave."

"The magic factor is no longer active, which is a threat to Him."

After hearing what Ryan said, Ivar couldn't think of a better way to deal with the Dragon God. The Flower of Dawn is useful, but it is meaningless if it can't be planted on the Dragon God.

If they can't find Isabella, they won't be able to find the Dragon God. When the Dragon God reveals himself, all human resistance will be fragile.

Of course, this matter still requires the consent of Earl Clayton, and the idea proposed by Baron Ryan can only be decided by Earl Clayton.

"Let the North submerge this world..."

Earl Clayton, who returned to Nidhogg, was also shocked when he heard this idea, and then looked at Ryan and said:

"Although this world is not stable, it will at least allow you to control the wealth of a world for hundreds of years. But if the North is flooded... you will lose all the wealth of this world."

He didn't need to hesitate, because he came to this world for the wealth called dragon.

This world belongs to Ryan.

"If I cannot eliminate the threat of the great existence, this world will be too dangerous for me."

Ryan didn't need to calculate carefully how much wealth a world could generate in hundreds of years, but he didn't care.

He has a spiritual panel, and the other world planes are not non-renewable resources for him.

On the contrary, if the Dragon God does not leave for a long time, Ryan will not be able to completely conquer Nidhoggr. Doesn’t that mean that he will never be able to open up a new world?
This is the biggest loss.

Compared with the new spiritual blessings gained in the new world, the land beneath our feet is nothing.

However, he still wanted to ask.

"To what extent does the North need to be covered in order to threaten the great existence? How many years will this world have left?"

He had to ask clearly, there were still two million people in the world, and he had to be prepared to accept such a large number of people.

"It's hard to say, maybe one or two years, maybe ten years, but no more than ten years."

Earl Clayton has more experience in this area than Ryan. This is the experience of the Flor Empire for hundreds of years, and there has been more or less communication among the great nobles.

"Taking into account the time we spent on the preparation, it is probably enough..."

Ryan nodded, and seeing him like this, Earl Clayton did not continue to persuade him.

His inner thoughts were very simple. There was already a blood curse from the magic dragon in Clayton's blood. If another dragon god came, the pressure would be too great. It would be better to expel the dragon god.

"In that case, I will contact the magician."

"Do we need them for this?"

"of course."

Earl Clayton looked towards the north. The sky of Nidhogg was no longer as warm as it once was, because Surtur's departure had taken away a lot of the world's temperature, and also because the North was now eroding the world.

"Without assistance, it will take thirty to fifty years for the North to pose a threat to the Dragon God."

"Those mages who are good at space magic can speed up this process and allow the northern borders of multiple worlds to erode this world together."

That would be much faster.

"A contract needs to be made."

Ryan said this, and Earl Clayton nodded. This matter would not be signed between Ryan and those magicians. He would come forward and sign a contract with the magicians as a great noble.

He wants to...collect enough benefits.

"Magicians pursue the truth, and the opportunity to touch the truth may only come once in a lifetime. My father will ask for a lot." Ivar also laughed. This is the pure relationship between the nobles and the noble magicians. Of course, the nobles must have the strength to suppress the magicians.

Ryan can naturally get a share of the profits.

……

There are very few wizards who are good at space magic, and powerful ones are even rarer. Not only that, finding them is a hassle.

Because many wild space magicians have their magic towers in the void, which mortals cannot see or touch at all.

The only ones who can contact them are other magicians.

Fortunately, the Flor Empire has had close ties with magic for more than a hundred years.

After Earl Clayton returned to the earldom, he used the resources of the great nobles of Clayton to contact other nobles.

Yes, nobles. Almost all the space magicians he knew were related to nobles.

At this time, political confrontations can also be mixed with the interests of the supernatural world.

Among them is the Earldom of Winter from the Province of North Wind.

Countess Winter is a powerful Sanctuary magician who specializes in space magic. Within the magic circle of the Flor Empire, she is even more famous than Count Winter.

"Ryan will discuss the details of the deal with you."

To her, Earl Clayton said this, and the latter was surprised why it was Ryan, while Earl Winter also brought news of the North Wind.

"Baron Ryan is not in the Frozen Territory. He has been gone for some time."

This answer made the Count and Countess Winter understand what had happened.

"The Clayton bloodline has discovered some treasure again. When they had to use space magic, they revealed what they were doing."

There was indescribable envy in Earl Winter's words. It was obvious that he now lacked the resources to bring Earl Winter's territory back to its peak.

Space magicians came from all directions, even from the southern lands, to the Earldom of Clayton and gathered in the dragon-slaying city, but because of the properties of magic, not many people knew they had arrived.

"At least thirty-six space magicians of the Holy Land. Even the emperor or the pope would be afraid of this power."

Ryan also returned to the Earldom of Clayton, and he also needed to participate in the transactions with these space magicians.

"Contract Scroll [No Words]"

Earl Clayton took out a scroll and asked everyone to sign it first. The power of the contract would prevent anyone present from revealing the content of the transaction, regardless of whether they accepted it in the end.

When the contract turned to ashes and dissipated, Earl Clayton spoke:
"I need you to help me set up a magic formation that surrounds the sky and submerges the power of the North into a world that is inherently unstable."

"How unstable."

As soon as Earl Clayton finished speaking, a skinny old man with long silver-white hair began to stroke a gem in his hand.

The sound came from the gem that looked cheap but actually concealed a void inside.

The true body of this legendary magician is hidden inside.

"Sir Ophelia, that world will definitely satisfy you. If you are willing to become a sacrifice to the Clayton family, I am willing to tell you more."

Earl Clayton looked at the old man and spoke, while next to Ryan, Ivar, who came with him to see the world, excitedly introduced him to Ryan in a low voice.

"A legendary magician who has lived for 480 years, Ophelia, who is known as the [Eternal One of the Void], participated in killing the three popes during the first ten years of the Empire's rebellion against the Church more than 130 years ago."

"Of course, he was eventually hunted down by the Vatican to the ends of the earth, and his whereabouts have since disappeared."

"The Emperor of the Flor Empire, the second emperor of the Columbus bloodline and the father of the current Emperor, once tried to invite him to become the legendary worshiper of the empire, but he refused."

Having refused to become a tribute to the empire, naturally... he would also refuse the Clayton bloodline.

"Little guy, when I enter that world, I will naturally find everything I want."

"You are too weak."

Ophelia said this to Earl Clayton. Earl Clayton, who had two curses in his body, was indeed much weaker.

"In that case, I need Ophelia's ten legendary forbidden spell scrolls, and you can help me stabilize several space entrances in the Earldom of Clayton, and also help me set up a teleportation array from the Earldom to the North Wind Province."

The legendary magician frowned. All other conditions were easy to deal with, including the space teleportation array, which was his specialty. However, only...

"Ten copies of forbidden spells are too many. I can only give you five. The remaining five can only be given to legendary magic scrolls."

Legendary magic is no joke, and forbidden spell-level magic scrolls are not something to be taken lightly.

"Okay, but we will only bear 90% of the materials for the space teleportation array."

No one interrupted the entire transaction between the two because Ophelia was the only legendary magician present.

The Sanctuary magicians around him all looked at him with burning eyes, and some of them were even trying to find a way to become the disciple of Lady Ophelia.

They are in the sanctuary, seemingly only one step away from becoming a legend, but this step may take a lifetime.

There are thirty-six space magicians, and there won’t be many more in the entire Norris continent. If we regard this as a world-class academic gathering, Ophelia is an ancestor-level figure.

Ophelia did not make any other requests. This transaction was because Earl Clayton invited him here. Strictly speaking, he needed to be paid. However, as long as he entered the other world, he would gain a lot of wealth. Transactions between great nobles and legendary transcendents are often like this. There is no clear price tag.

However, this is not the case for others.

"All of you, during your time in the Other World, will need to help us deal with some...difficult dragons."

"I will take half of all the profits from the dragon."

The transactions are not just that. For example, Countess Winter is targeted by Ryan.

"I need Earl Winter's support for my land in the North Wind Province."

"Just like Count Sauron, as the price of mutual trust, I will help you buy a magic codex from the legendary Ophelia."

“At the same time, that’s what our deal is all about.”

There are more than thirty space magicians, nearly thirty of whom are members of the nobility. In fact, there are different transaction contents between them, but this has nothing to do with Ryan. It is a transaction between Earl Clayton and them.

Ryan's only involvement was that his name and badge were on the contract of the transaction.

It was not until the next night that these extraordinary people, who were still awake, finally decided on all the terms of the transaction. Everyone would make contributions and also gain unimaginable gains.

"Believe me, everyone. When you come back, you will be stronger than you are now."

After Earl Clayton finished speaking, Ryan had already put on the crown of the Dragon Emperor. When the ancient and majestic aura of the world of dragons came to them, all the magicians opened their eyes wide.
