Throne of the North.

Chapter 211 Noble Mages and Commoner Mages

"Master Brock said he only planned to forge thirty 'Snow Dragon Chant' knight swords. He said you said that things are valuable because they are rare."

Ryan was speechless. Brock was an avid blacksmith. If possible, he would stay in the blacksmith shop forever.

So he disagreed with this statement, and there could only be one reason for it, which was that Brock didn't want to waste time on it.

Watchtowers, giant crossbows and the like obviously attracted his attention more.

"That's it, then. When the Lantern Chamber of Commerce and the Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce arrive, remember to find a few more excuses."

Hearing this, Beard also laughed.

"Master, the people from Exnel in your territory are very good at this."

"Almost all of the trade officers you asked me to select are from Exnel."

"During this period, Viscountess Wittman arranged for someone to teach them writing and mathematics. As for stories and wine, it seems that they are born with them and do not need to be trained at all."

"If the master needs it, the trade officials can take up their posts now."

Ryan nodded. Next, the Frozen Territory really needed to start a "war" from an economic perspective.

"Tell them to get ready."

During Ryan's absence, the Frozen Territory was not idle. It could even be said that neither the civilians nor the slaves were qualified to be idle.

Even the Frozen Territory, with a population of more than 20,000, is very busy.

However, in today's era, the types of economic crops that can be produced in the Frozen Territory are not very rich. They are mainly high-end handicrafts and both high-end and low-end textiles.

The most important thing is that the things grown from the soil are turned into profitable commodities after processing.

Finally, there are various iron and wooden tools. In fact, these things are the mainstream at present and can bring more wealth. Most of the nobles in the North Wind Province also use them to gain wealth.

After all, this place has the richest iron ore resources in the empire.

In short, the plan covers everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, even future horses, not war horses, but ordinary horses.

The cattle and sheep in the fields are also for sale.

Combined with the unique specialties of the North, Ryan is confident that he can turn his small-scale workshop trade into a huge chamber of commerce.

The North Wind Province does not have its own Chamber of Commerce, so let Ryan be the first to try it.

The family he married into, the Melendez family, can make a lot of wealth by relying on a river. And Ryan owns a vast northern territory. Could it be that he lacks resources?
……

At the foot of Rhino Horn Mountain, Mage Luna, who has gained a lot of magical knowledge, has begun to implement her own magic plan.

"During this war, I obtained some land in Thundercloud County that is suitable for growing magic crops. In addition to growing raw materials for potions to breed war horses, I can also keep five plots of land of about 100 acres and the surrounding areas. Does Mage Luna need it?"

What shocked Ryan the most in this war was undoubtedly the power of those extraordinary forces.

Therefore, people naturally value Luna the Mage more.

There are differences between people, and there are also huge differences between magicians.

Among magicians, there is a distinction between noble magicians and commoner magicians. The basis is not because of status, but it is closely related to status.

A noble mage is not necessarily a noble, but he must have the wealth of a noble. For example, if Ryan has a talent for magic, then he will not choose auxiliary magic, but practice magic with powerful combat power like Countess Winter.

There is a key point here, that is, if you want to practice such powerful magic, you will have to spend a lot of time, energy, and - money.

Magicians who don't have much wealth cannot afford to use this kind of combat-oriented magic.

They will choose the magic direction that can earn gold coins, and then use the gold coins earned to improve themselves, or perhaps choose to practice more magic. Only at this time will they consider whether to practice magic with powerful combat power.

Noble wizards do not need to consider the cost of time and money, especially the great nobles. When they are detected to have strong magical talents, their families will prepare a large amount of wealth.

Civilian mages have a lot to consider.

For example, those wizards who were sponsored had already owed a huge debt in their practice of magic, and of course they needed to repay the debt and make themselves rich.

However, magic that is good at fighting often cannot bring huge wealth, and can only be used as offerings to nobles, and receive a fixed portion every year.

Thus, there is a distinction between noble mages and commoner mages. Noble mages are often powerful, and the magic they cast can destroy lives, while commoner mages tend to focus on society and life, and use their extraordinary abilities to gain wealth and further resources.

After all, if one could achieve legend, there would be no distinction between civilian wizards and noble wizards. Even a legendary wizard who only knew one kind of magic would be extremely powerful.

This is the case with Master McKen. He was not rich, so he chose magic that could make more money. Gradually, he acquired the ability to earn a lot of money.

If he wants to.

The former Mage Luna was somewhere in between the two. After all, the training in Exnel, the Crucible City, required more or less everything, especially survival.

But when Mage Luna turned into a golem puppet, she became more like a noble mage.

Countess Winter is a typical aristocratic wizard. The wealth of the earl's noble family allows her to squander on powerful magic without having to worry about time pressure.

How could Ryan, who had seen the powerful space magic strangle the steel dragon, not care?

Even if he and Earl Winter started a war in the future, he would have to consider what means he had to deal with the space mage.

As a lord, Ryan cannot only have civilian mages who can earn wealth under his command, but also noble mages who can protect this wealth.

"Ah, really?"

Mage Luna opened her eyes wide. She was a little surprised to see two crystal gems, and then she counted with her fingers.

"Five pieces of land...the distance between them is not too far, so we have to consider whether the magic power will affect each other. In this case..."

Almost immediately, Wizard Luna made a decision and gave the names of six magical crops.

"Lion Stone Flowers can be buried in the ground, Dragon Bark Pine can be planted in the gaps between Lion Stone Flowers, and nothing else can exist within one meter of Wolf Tooth Grass..."

Of course, this requires Ryan to purchase the initial seeds, and even requires the use of life magic to initiate the initial birth.

This is not a problem for the current frozen land territory.

Ryan, who recruited the great wizard McKen, gained more than just a magician who could breed war horses and several magicians who could help the development of the territory.

And there are the circles and channels they have.
