Throne of the North.

Chapter 243 Chopping Wood in a Different World

"The divinity contained in the Divine Key is limited. In ten years at most, the divinity will disappear."

The Marquis of the North Wind possesses divinity, and through some other means, he can feel the consumption of the Fang Key in opening the plane portal.

"Can it be understood that the divinity of the alternate dimension world will also disappear in ten years, and after that, that world will no longer be able to stop the harsh winter blowing from the north?"

"We only have ten years to develop the alternate dimension?"

Ryan asked, without any of the awkwardness of his previous confrontation with the Marquis.

"Yes, in ten years, those places will also be covered by wind and snow. As for when the world will completely die, it is impossible to be sure."

Marquis Beifeng did not finish his words. He guessed that the gods in that other world still had some will.

Ten years?

The nobles present were of different colors. Some hoped that the alternate dimension could exist permanently, which would be equivalent to giving them an extra vast territory. This was an opportunity that the noble lords could hardly imagine, but ten years was too short. Perhaps after this generation, the next generation of heirs would return to what a small noble should be.

We can't expect a Baron Ryan to emerge from the future to lead the family to rise, right?

I am not even the Earl of Clayton yet.

As for a small number of nobles, they breathed a sigh of relief. In ten years, they felt that they had a good chance of moving all the wealth from the other-dimensional world to their own territory.

"In this case, in order to ensure the storage of divinity and the development progress of the alternate dimension, we can no longer enter and exit freely as before."

Ryan stood up and said, Marquis Beifeng looked at Ryan with satisfaction, he felt that this was Ryan trying to show goodwill to him, telling other nobles that he would be in charge of the divine key.

But the next moment I heard the other party continue speaking.

"I think opening it within ten days might be a good choice."

"We don't have that much time to develop the alternate dimension. It would be nice if we could make this world last a few more years."

"Ten days is just right. The prey we hunt can be well preserved in the Northern Wind Province."

The two earls also nodded. They did not stand on the side of the Marquis. After all, this different dimension was their gain.

"Then... open the door once every ten days!"

Marquis Beifeng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

……

"This marquis doesn't look that easy to deal with."

In another dimension, Baron Enzo, with his army of a hundred men and Ryan, watched as the soldiers of the Frozen Territory began to cut down dead trees.

"He is easy to deal with. What is difficult is what the empire behind Marquis Beifeng wants to do with his identity as a pioneer of light."

"This is a dispute in the war between the Empire and the Church, but we still know nothing about it."

After Ryan finished speaking, Baron Enzo fell silent. Indeed, they were too far away from the south and knew nothing.

"What are you cutting down trees for?"

Baron Enzo was curious. He felt that every decision Ryan made would bring huge benefits, so he couldn't help but be curious.

The armies of other nobles were hunting wild beasts and picking precious medicinal herbs and magical crops, but when Ryan came in, he just ordered people to cut down trees.

"Hunting? There's no rush. As for those medicinal herbs and precious planting resources, they are there and will not disappear. Besides, do you think we can find more by searching on our own than the natives?"

Ryan didn't say a word, his relationship with Baron Enzo was not that good yet.

It is because everyone is now hunting the wild beasts in the mountains and forests. However, those beasts are not stupid. Bathed in divinity, they have considerable survival instincts.

If they find that they cannot defeat the army, they will run away.

Now the area Ryan has circled is the safest. Is there any need to wonder where the beasts will run to?
The area Ryan had circled was not the one with the largest number of wild animals, but he believed that it would not be long before the area he had circled would have the largest number of wild animals.

Coming back to his senses, he watched the soldiers tying the wood with vines. "Of course, the wood is cut for firewood."

Ryan pointed to the neatly stacked firewood and said:

"My frozen land territory is colder than yours. I need a lot of firewood in winter, but I don't want to cut down the trees in my own territory, so I can only cut down the trees here."

“The value of firewood is not high.”

Enzo shook his head and said, what he meant was that Ryan could spend some gold coins to buy it from other lords.

"I need a lot."

Ryan did not explain further. After the forest was cleared, he would even borrow slaves from the surrounding nobles to help cut firewood.

So, after ten days, all the nobles left with satisfaction, except Ryan, who was followed by a mountain of firewood.

"Baron Ryan, does your frozen land territory need so much firewood?"

"A baron came up curiously, looking inquiringly."

"The population of the frozen land is tens of thousands, and the gap is too big. Anyway, the trees in the other plane are tall and many, so I think they are very resistant to burning."

"That's true, but the value of these things is too low."

After saying this, the baron left. Ryan did not explain anything and returned to the Frozen Territory with his soldiers.

In the days to come, someone will represent the Frozen Territory to enter and exit the alternate dimension world. They will bring wealth that can be seen by others to Ryan. As for the invisible wealth?
In another dimension, Cao, the leader of the Blue Lion tribe, led dozens of natives to dig in a river valley with hoes, and finally dug out a crack in the ground.

"Chief, how do you think that foreign noble knew there was a crack underneath?"

Some natives were curious. They had lived there for so long without knowing it, and they looked at the cracks under their feet with curiosity.

Cao didn't say anything, but picked up the hoe and smashed it hard on one side of the crack. Soon after, a piece of gold was dug out by him.

"bag!"

A native behind him brought over a rough sack.

"This kind of thing must be hidden well. It is to be given to our friends. No one is allowed to tell anyone else."

Feeling the energy and blood surging in his body, Cao said indifferently.

The natives trembled in fear and did not dare to challenge the authority of the leader. Besides, they had no opinions of their own and just followed whatever the leader said. The natives were all so stubborn.

However, some people are still puzzled.

"Chief, many of those foreign nobles are more powerful than that kid. Why don't we make friends with them?"

Cao thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he punched the native behind him.

"No means no, why say so much."

But soon, it seemed as if some shackles were freed from him.

"This is what our friend told us to do. We just need to do it. However... we can try to make friends with other nobles from other worlds with other things."

Ryan, who had already entered Lingdu County, had no idea about the Green Lion Tribe's little tricks, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Thinking of the excitement of the Blue Lion Tribe leader Cao when he left, Ryan knew that he had an advantage that no other nobles had.

He can bestow divine blessings on the natives and set them on a transcendental path.

Although those natives are powerful, they are still ordinary people at heart.

The natives were much more excited about this miracle.

"I don't know how Count Weiss trained the barbarians in the first place."
