Chapter 469 Griffins and Loyalty, Friendship and Frost Giants

The Royal City of Serra is not to mention decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There are not so many bells and whistles in this world, and the magic of the magicians is so noble that it is difficult to see the sun in the sky.

The roar of people is the best explanation. The establishment of this royal city can be regarded as completely gathering the hearts of the people of Serra Kingdom.

The Kingdom will no longer be scattered, and no matter what happens, the Kingdom of Serra will become a page in history.

The nobles are naturally the happiest. When wars and disasters are not considered, the luxurious enjoyment of the nobles is the literature and art of an era.

"Earl Lane, long time no see."

The Kingdom of Serra was finally established, and the temperament of Otto, the crown prince, became different. Next to him, Mihai, the daughter of Count Fragoso, followed.

Roland was wearing the magician robe as always. He seemed to have become the leader of the mage group in the Kingdom of Sera. The number of magicians in the Kingdom of Sera had also increased recently.

"Your Highnesses, long time no see."

Ryan saluted, and Avril was no exception. They stood in the widest view of the royal city and looked at the newly built city.

The Royal City of Serra is different. In the sky, griffons are flying majestically. Many people can see the griffins circling when they look up. From where they are now, they can see the sky of the entire Royal City. They have all become the territory of griffins.

The flag and emblem of the Kingdom of Serra even looks like a griffin. This kingdom has its own characteristics.

In the royal city, the labor force coming and going did not dare to raise their heads casually. They were still busy, especially when nobles arrived in the royal city in large numbers.

Ryan's eyes were sharp and he saw the Dawn cultists in white robes walking through the streets of the royal city. They were saying something to the surrounding civilians and slaves. They should be preaching.

"By the way, Archbishop Adriana has left the Kingdom of Serra. Who is in charge of the Holy See of Dawn here now?"

Ryan's relationship with the Holy See was not much better. He had not forgotten that he had killed a big figure in the Holy See with one sword.

"The Holy See of Dawn didn't send anyone, so it doesn't mean they didn't send anyone, but the Dawn believers here don't listen to the archbishop."

Roland smiled and said:

"Archbishop Adrianna, although she is not in the Kingdom of Sera, her words are as good as the Pope in the hearts of these believers. Archbishop Adrianna is going to the north, and the believers in the kingdom will donate a lot of materials and send them there to help her."

Otto next to him snorted and said:

"Those are the wealth of the kingdom."

The two royal highnesses of the kingdom have different attitudes towards the Holy See. Otto is more sympathetic to the empire's methods and hopes to expel the Holy See through war. As for the future... he himself may not have thought about it.

Roland is a pure magician. The Holy See does not provoke him. He just ignores the Holy See and treats him like a bystander.

There is a high probability that the Holy See will not deal with a noble magician, even if the Holy See wins the war with the Empire.

King McReynolds's two heirs each shared half of his own attitude.

The griffins in the sky fell, and the bell sent into the clouds was rung. Then the griffons in the sky fell. Several people heard the bells and left in the direction of the palace.

"It's time to go see the king."

The etiquette of aristocrats is complicated. From entering the palace to meeting the king and showing loyalty to the king, Ryan watched and stood aside for six hours.

If it weren't for his strong physical strength, Master Lane would have fainted. He saw many nobles doing this, pretending to faint, and then being helped up by the servants and sitting on the back of the kneeling servants.

No wonder so many of these nobles are prone to fainting, and their proficiency is shocking.

After showing loyalty, the nobles paid tribute to the king. Every noble had to offer precious wealth to the king. Ryan was stunned when he saw this scene. For this alone, he saw that the king had received no less than three million gold coins. of wealth.

This process is also long. Fortunately, the nobles no longer have to stand or kneel. They are all talking and laughing. After all, as long as they show their loyalty to the king, the king does not have much way to control these influences on his territory. Nobles with absolute power.

The only subject that can be criticized between kings and nobles is loyalty.

By the time the series was completed, it was already evening, and only the banquet session that the nobles loved to see was left. During this day, the noble ladies had already become familiar with each other. When the nobles arrived, they would talk about which family had the best If you are suitable, you can get married. If your family is in poor financial situation, you should reduce contact in the future to avoid borrowing money from the other party.

Don't underestimate this step, because often this kind of thing will determine the relationship between nobles, especially the political friendship and alliance brought about by marriage, which directly affects the nobles' right to speak in the Kingdom of Serra.

Indirectly, it affects the future development of a noble territory.

Especially this time is the most important, because the Serra Kingdom has just ended its major reshuffle. Too many nobles have fallen, too many nobles have risen, and the entire Serra Kingdom is a chaotic deck of cards. Therefore, at this banquet, the nobles are fighting each other. Their understanding and cognition can determine the political ecology of the Serra Kingdom in the coming decades.

Which nobleman would like to have fewer friends and suffer damage to his interests? No.

This also verifies another topic, which is why the nobles tighten their belts and spend extravagantly, and are unwilling to cut back on food and clothing.

Not only is it a matter of face, but also profits will be lost at such a banquet.

They cannot let others think that this noble family is in trouble. They used to ride magic carriages, but now they can only ride ordinary carriages. This will make other nobles feel that this noble family has insufficient wealth and is worried about its future.

Those who were originally able to marry with a higher-level noble, ended up having to marry with a lower-level noble. Isn't this a loss of interests?

influence for decades.

The meaning of the peacock spreading its wings is not only for good looks, but also for courtship.

As a magician, Avril and Baroness Lane are naturally surrounded by people. Lane has left too many rights in this kingdom. Those nobles who were once wandering nobles can almost only crowd around him, which also leads to Avril Lavigne has also become the center among these noble ladies.

Ryan's arrival came to her rescue. Looking at Avril, who looked a little stiff and tired, Ryan smiled and said:

"I imagine they asked you a lot about your children and siblings."

Avril blushed and nodded.

"Their territory seems to be unstable and needs wealth and population. Marriage is the fastest way."

Ryan was not surprised by these words.

He helped many people gain a foothold in the land of Serra Kingdom and connect their interests together, but he could not help them stabilize all their interests. The development of the nobles' territories has always been bumpy.

The nobles are uneasy, and the noble ladies are naturally equally uneasy. As women, they are actually more afraid of losing the title of noble lady.

When the banquet begins, naturally some nobles will come to chat with Ryan.

"In two days, His Majesty will hold an adventure selection for the braves of the North in the arena. The braves who win once will be able to become registered braves."

"I think that is also an opportunity to show the strength of the nobles."

Ryan told these nobles that he believed that the nobles would be able to react. When the relationship with the Kingdom of Andara has become increasingly tense recently, there is no more dazzling way to open the screen than to show the fighting power in one's own territory.

The banquet was held for three days. On the last day, King McReynolds invited the nobles to the newly built arena. This was a competitive game only for the nobles. One was to bring the power of the empire, that is, the brave men of the north. The guild informed all nobles.

The other one is that the last 300 warriors who win the game will be selected to join the Griffin Legion and become soldiers of the king's army.

This is not a strange thing. After all, in this world, it is impossible for slaves to be strong. It is difficult for civilians to see a strong man, but the ruler's knights are all as strong as a cow.

The reason is simple, because ninety-nine percent of these knights are not slaves or civilians, but members of the nobility who are related to the ruler.

This is true for the soldiers and knights under the nobility, and the same is true for the king. Even in the king's army, most of the soldiers come from the blood of the nobles. They are brothers of barons and viscounts. Anyway, the surnames after the names are the surnames of the nobles.

This was a way for the nobles to show their loyalty to the king, and it was also because they were well-fed and well-exercised, and were stronger than the commoners and slaves who had to work without enough food or clothing or warmth.

Before the Pandimensional War of Gods, when the nobles provided knights and soldiers to the king, they also had to provide their own weapons and equipment and even war horses.

Loyalty is not a derogatory word, but a kind of honor and a very proud description, so the nobles naturally spare no effort.

Therefore, in the city of King Serra, every nobleman worked hard to arrange for the powerful knights in their territory to enter.

Seeing this, Ryan finally understood that the Kingdom of Serra was truly formed, and no noble would think about such a thing as a king or a man with strong soldiers and horses.

In fact, Ryan's idea is completely unnecessary. More than 99% of the nobles in this world are greedy for the promotion of titles, and do not realize that they can also become kings.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Andara was so weak that no nobles had ever thought about it. Even McReynolds had not thought about snatching the throne of the Kingdom of Andara, but to create a new kingdom.

Hereditary, inheritance, rationality...all kinds of inherited inertia are pressing so hard in the depths of human souls that they don't even think about it.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Andara can only be formed by the blood of Andara. If it were another bloodline, it would be impossible for the nobles to agree to it.

The knights of the nobles fought fiercely in the arena, and even died, but this did not affect the cheers of the nobles at all.

Loyalty to the king is the best way out for many people.

"I believe it won't be long before the Griffin Legion will once again become famous in Norris Continent."

Ryan smiled and praised, his location is not far, very close to the king.

"Gryphons cannot be cultivated in a few years, but it's not a problem for you, Count Lane, to have a cub."

King McReynolds said with a smile, giving Ryan the answer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ryan thanked them. Not long after, a knight led a knee-high little gryphon to Baron and Mrs. Ryan. Things were so rough, and Ryan quite liked this kind of roughness.

"There is also a blue lion at home, and now they have a companion."

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

At the end of the arena, the king gained hundreds of powerful knights to fill his extraordinary army, and Ryan also gained a large number of northern adventurers.

Most of them will go to the North once and come back with adventure stories and wealth, thus making the Northern Brave Guild a part of the Kingdom of Serra.

"Wait until the end of the year to give a gift to the Emperor Chosen Lord. He should be very happy to get more than ten times the reward for his 10,000 gold coins, right?"

"After all, he is also a shareholder of the Northern Brave Guild."

On the way back, Ryan couldn't help laughing when he thought about what he would do then.

…

In the Tundra Territory, the beginning of spring has caused chambers of commerce to start taking action again, and the Northern Chamber of Commerce is no exception.

"Lord Lagerloff!!!"

In the ice and snow, Warby, who was wearing heavy clothing, shouted again. Dozens of people behind him were guarding the sled, which contained a lot of supplies.

Throughout the winter, the team from the Tundra Territory could not enter here. Now that the weather is better, the interpersonal relationships in the Tundra Territory have begun to improve.

The territory of the frost giants is of course a place where Ryan needs to gain a lot of favor.

"It's us, the people of the Tundra Territory."

The weather was sunny and the world was covered with ice and snow. Warby, who was in charge of this matter, kept yelling, mainly because he was worried that the frost giants couldn't hear him.

"Boss Wobi, are they not at home?"

"ah?"

Warby stared back at the young man with his eyes widened, I've been shouting for so long and you told me that the frost giant is not at home? Then wasn't my shouting in vain?

Warby felt uncomfortable staring at the young man and scratched his head.

"That...I was also talking nonsense."

"You go in and take a look."

"Huh? Me?"

The young man reluctantly walked into the canyon and walked alone on the wide snow. The young man who knew what kind of creature belonged here felt quite broken.

He was afraid that a big hand would reach out from under his feet, pinch him and put him into the frost giant's bloody mouth.

"There's really no one."

The young man gradually relaxed and came to the top. He looked at the mountains in the distance, and then he saw tall shadows.

Frost giant?

Warby also frowned when he heard the young man's description.

"The frost giants left their tribe? And now they're back?"

Warby stood there, not knowing whether he should wait, but while he was thinking, the frost giant had already arrived on the hillside not far away.

The speed of these frost giants... is much faster than imagined.

"Your Excellency Lagerloff?"

Warby shouted tentatively, mainly because he really didn't know the difference between these frost giants. It seemed that they all looked the same.

"It's you, human."

The tall frost giants lowered their heads. They have a long lifespan, so although they only met Wobi once or twice last year, it was like yesterday to the frost giants.

"It's me, a subject of Lord Baron Ryan of the Tundra Territory."

Warby felt relieved, just stay with the familiar frost giant.

"This is the food sent to you this year. Our lord harvested a batch of aquatic products last winter. I hope you will like it, Mr. Laglov."

Warby ordered the people behind him to bring the sled over, which contained food from Nidhogg. There were a lot of beasts in that world, and Ryan was cheaper now anyway.

"Thank you for your help."

Lagerloff accepted these gifts and said at the same time:

"Tell your lord for me and thank him for helping us deal with those damn gray-skinned goblins."

"If the frost giant needs help, we will also help him."

Warby was surprised. His favorability level was so easy to increase? However, he still asked with some doubts:

"Grey-skinned goblin?"

"In winter, the great beings served by those gray-skinned goblins awakened. Under his power, we had to leave the tribe for a while. Later, we found that those gray-skinned goblins died in front of your human army. I know that human army The flag of the army.”

Hobiyi of the ghoul, the great being who resurrected. Originally, the goblins in the crypt were the enemies of the frost giants and were harassed for a long time. With the return of Hobiyi, the frost giants began to fall into disadvantage, even because of the power of the gods. , causing the frost giants to migrate in winter.

…

Tundra territory.

Ryan held the ice-blue gemstone token in his hand, and unexpectedly gained something.

What the frost giant Lagerlof was talking about was probably the incident when he sent troops into the North to help the frost dragon Areris clean up the cave goblins. During that time, Brand led the Bucks Legion to slaughter the gray-skinned goblins crazily in the ice and snow. Coupled with the pressure of the frost dragon, a large number of Hobiyi's dependents were cut off.

"This frost giant village will be driven away by those goblins. It shouldn't be that powerful, right?"

Ryan held the token in his hand and thought about the gap between the frost giant and the dragon, and whether he could help him fight against the dragon.

"He told you that if you need help, he will only send a frost giant to help me?"

Ryan asked looking at Warby, who nodded to show that he heard correctly.

Refresh your favorability and get a frost giant unit.

Hmm...seems pretty good.
