Throne of the North.

Chapter 553 Set off to a new world!

woohoo-

The howling cold wind cut Ryan's face like a knife. He put on the mask, but still felt the frost condensing on his body for a short time.

The world before his eyes was full of towering mountains. Standing on top of a high mountain, he could see bamboo shoot-like peaks in all directions. On the surface of all the 'bamboo shoots', there was a layer of snow-white.

There is no blizzard in the sky, but the mountains and land are not lacking in submission to the North.

The knight squires were in even worse shape than Ryan. They did not have the strong vitality of the Sky Knights to resist the cold. In this world, which was much colder than the Frozen Territory, they were shivering even though they were wearing so many clothes.

Only after shaking for a long time and their body heat rising, did the knights slowly adapt to this world, but they still needed to hold the long swords in their arms.

"It's so cold."

The coldest alien world Ryan had ever experienced was Birki, but in that hometown of Bogard, the wind and snow were more like a banner of glory, not like it is now, full of hostility to life and the horror of killing all things.

"Let's look for it... Don't go too far."

The most helpless thing for Ryan is that in this world, war horses are obviously useless, and scouts are also difficult to find, as there are mountains everywhere. From here, he looks at another mountain as if it is very close, but if he really wants to walk to the top of that mountain, it will take at least five or six hours.

These are just two adjacent mountains. Now, as far as the eye can see, there are countless mountains.

Even scouts won’t work.

And is there anyone in such a world?

Ryan stayed on the mountain for a long time, waiting for the scouts to return, and the result was as expected.

"No trace of human beings or even wild animals was found."

This result was expected, but if there was no civilization, what could Ryan do in this world? If there was civilization, how could he find them in such a mountainous world?

In such a world, human civilization can even be hidden in any corner, including the mountain where he landed, which may not be discovered by hundreds of people like them.

According to past experience, Ryan would open the door to the plane in a place where souls were active, which meant that there would be humans not far away.

Ryan walked around, looking for possible traces, and then suddenly he looked up.

A sharp scream was heard from the sky, the penetrating force tore through the soul, and people could feel the biting cold from far away.

A black dot was coming closer and closer. It was an eagle, with a majestic body, strong wings and sharp claws. Even from such a distance, Ryan had no doubt that it could easily tear through the hard armor.

The eagle discovered them, or rather, the eagle discovered them before they discovered the eagle. The eagle in the sky circled freely and echoed above the heads of Ryan and others. It was hesitating, thinking whether it could hunt the hundreds of majestic prey below. Finally, it flew away in one direction, obviously feeling that the risk was too great and was going to give up.

"Want to follow?"

Bogeld beside her widened her eyes. She wanted to catch the eagle, but it seemed there was no way.

"I can't keep up."

The opponent's speed was too fast and he soon disappeared from sight.

"But remember this direction, scouts, head this way."

Ryan said this and asked people to return to the frozen land to bring a large amount of supplies to build a simple camp. If they wanted to understand this world, they must first find the humans in this world.

This was certainly not Master Ryan's job. After briefly understanding this new alien world, Ryan returned to the Frozen Territory and waited for the results of the scout.

Then the waiting will be one day, two days, three days, four days, seven days, eight days, ninety days.

Nothing was found. For a whole half month, the scouts could not see any humans, let alone a tree.

"What kind of world is this? Even humans are gone?"

In that other world, Ryan couldn't even tell the directions of east, south, west and north, because there had been no wind or snow for half a month, which meant that he couldn't even tell the most basic north.

There is also the sun. The sky of that world is pale, but there is no sun or moon, which also cannot help Ryan to determine the direction.

He didn't know what went wrong, but it was definitely not his fault.

Take your time to search.

Ryan had plenty of time to wait, because the first batch of supplies from the south had already arrived. The Frozen Territory was extremely busy during this period, with convoys and manpower coming into the Frozen Territory from all directions to begin all-round development of the territory.

Ryan personally supervised the forging of the first batch of foundations of the Northern Great Wall. It was not an easy task to build a fortress on the snowfield, as there was a thick layer of ice under their feet.

The first thing to do is to make huge holes in this extremely solid ice land, and then fill them with large amounts of metal and stone mud. This process requires countless manpower and the help of all alchemists. Dean Rose has tried her best to display her sorcerer talent to turn the metal into various components with a solid foundation.

“I didn’t expect that the mud from the swamp would come in handy at this time.”

Ryan said that this project was not as sophisticated as imagined, but rather rough and to put it simply, it was just piling up materials to build a wall on this endless plain.

Rough engineering naturally has many gaps, which need to be filled with mud from the swamp. With hundreds of years of experience in the swamp, these muds will soon turn into hard frozen land in the cold environment of the north.

Iron ore and metal are the main structure of the fortress, stone is the flesh and skin of the fortress, and sawdust, mud, vines, etc. are the seasonings that alchemists use to cook this pot of porridge, trying to cook a pot of alchemical product called fortress on this boundless white land.

After supervising for a few days, Ryan returned to Rhino Horn Mountain, waiting for the result of the other world he had been longing for.

Of course, nothing was found in the end. Ryan could only continue to wait and send more people into that world to search for possible human civilization.

"That doesn't make sense. There should be humans very close by."

Ryan has already spent a lot of manpower and resources on this, and the result of getting nothing naturally made him increasingly anxious.

At the end of the second month of winter, Ryan finally received news from Egil.

He used the white wolf as bait and finally lured the eagle in the sky.

“I remember the taste of it.”

Beside Egil, three white wolves followed, and they looked in a certain direction together with Egypt's gaze.

"Is it far?"

Ryan looked at the towering mountains in that direction and asked a question first.

Egil blinked and said:
"Not very close, but for those eagles, it should be close."

What they understand as close is probably not the same as what the eagles understand as close.

The mystery was solved at this moment, and Ryan took a deep breath. In this case, he decided not to bring the knights and servants with him.

He called in Brock.

This cold world made even the tireless blacksmith feel a little chilly, but Master Brock, who was surrounded by flames all day, still only had a simple fur coat on his body, with part of his upper body still naked.

"not cold!"

Master Brock gritted his teeth and patted the griffin. The biggest purpose of his arrival was to use this griffin to help Ryan and his companions fly over from the sky.

The griffin bears the weight of four people: Ryan, Egil, Brand and Brock. It also has many blessings from Ryan, but after all, it is not yet a full adult, and its flying speed is not very fast.

Fortunately, the four of them were not wearing heavy armor.

As Egil's nose became more active, the destination got closer. "We're here."

Four people landed on the top of a mountain that was no different from any other mountain. Three white wolves emerged from Egil's side and quickly rushed in one direction.

"Follow."

Several of them were very powerful. All the previous fatigue was borne by the griffin. The terrible explosive power they burst out at this moment made the griffin unable to help but be afraid.

The four people followed the three white wolves, and after a few minutes they discovered that the snow around them was not as smooth as it should be.

"This is the eagle's claw. It often lands here."

Ryan looked around. Even though they were here, they still couldn't find any entrances or anything like that.

"It seems that it can only melt."

Ryan's blood was boiling, and the vast energy and blood surged across the surface of his body like waves, burning like flames.

Qi and blood flames are not real flames, but they have the same heat. Under Ryan's feet, the thick snow began to melt into water, and then the area of ​​the melted snow became larger and larger, and farther and farther.

boom!
Just in front of them, a large number of sharp ice spikes broke and fell off, and then the thick snow covering them also collapsed. During the melting process, a valley crack finally appeared in front of them.

The crack was very high, about ten meters wide, but very narrow, only wide enough to accommodate a person. Sharp screams came from deep within the dark and deep crack, which were the threat and vigilance of the eagle.

They were strong, and especially fast, but not beyond Ryan's ability to fight.

Brand drew out his sword and walked towards the crack, leaning sideways and holding up the sword as he moved forward slowly. However, the eagles inside took the lead in attacking. They swarmed over, and their sharp claws left claw marks as thick as fingers on the surface of the crack.

Even so, they could not be Brand's opponent. Just a shock of blood and energy made the eagles dizzy and disorganized. Fortunately, they had top-notch adjustment ability and quickly took off and flew into the sky.

There were nine eagles in total, four or five of which were obviously smaller. They circled in the sky, screaming at the invaders below with terrifying piercing power.

Several times, these eagles hovered over and wanted to attack them, but even the weakest griffin was not a match for these eagles. The gap between the magical beast and ordinary wild beasts made the griffin impatient and wanted to spit out wind blade magic.

"Don't kill them."

Ryan's will is the reason why these eagles are still alive. Seeing the eagles flying towards another mountain unwillingly, Ryan did not chase them, but waited in place.

About half an hour later, Ryan looked down the mountain and saw a head popping out and then shrinking back.

As expected, with such a big commotion, it would make no sense for there to be any humans not to come and take a look.

This is the fish Ryan wants to catch.

Ryan rushed out with such speed that he quickly picked up the other person and threw him on the snow.

The sharp dagger slashed past, but naturally missed. Looking at the young man in front of him, Ryan was a little surprised by his swiftness. For an ordinary person to be this powerful was already very powerful.

"What is your name?"

Ryan asked, and the young man was surprisingly cooperative.

"Griff."

Ryan asked again:
"You raise these eagles?"

Griff looked at Ryan, refusing to answer the question and said:

"I have answered your questions. Now it's your turn to answer mine. Who are you? Where are you from?"

Ryan smiled, looking like a courageous guy.

"These are two questions. Which one do you want me to answer?"

Griff thought about it without hesitation and said:

"Where are you from?"

"From that side."

Ryan pointed in the direction where he and his group came from, and the plane gate landed there.

Who knows Griff shook his head.

"No, that's not right. There are a lot of you. You definitely don't live there. That's my hunting ground. No one has ever lived there."

"You know we exist?"

Ryan was surprised. There were only eagles circling in the sky before, and he was sure there was no one on the backs of those eagles.

"Of course, your people can't find me at all."

Griff had discovered Ryan's knights and attendants more than a month ago, but did not alarm them.

"No wonder my people haven't found those eagles for so long. It seems it's because of you."

Ryan laughed and said that if Egil hadn't used the white wolf as bait, he would probably never have found this place.

"But we did come from there, at most... we did not belong to this world before this."

"Now you can answer my second question."

"They do belong to me. I am a falconer."

"No, that's not what I'm asking."

Ryan shook his head and pointed to the surrounding mountains and said:
"Is this world just like the one before us? Is there no other landforms?"

Griff was not stubborn. He fell silent and nodded somewhat frustratedly.

"Yes, I have never discovered other places. I have traveled all over the world, but there is still no legendary ocean and grassland outside the mountains."

"yourself?"

Ryan was surprised. In such an environment, how could someone set foot in every corner?
"And my eagle."

"I can only afford these eagles, not more, but they will help me."

Griff looked at Ryan, then turned and looked at the other three repeatedly.

"It seems that you have a lot of stories. I also have a lot of stories. Why don't we find a place to rest first? Take us to your tribe? I am very interested in the history of this place. I wonder if your people know it."

Griff shook his head, but did not refuse them to go. Instead, he said:

"I have no tribe, and I have no people."

He raised his head, his eyes as lonely as an eagle in the sky.

"I am the only one left alive in this world."
