Lord of the North

"Excellent items: Extraordinary Seeds, Extraordinary Physique, Epic Items: Tears of the Stars, Legendary Items: Source of Life, Titan Heart, Mythical Items: Grace of the Ancient Gods."

"These can help the host awaken the power you want, so please hurry up and earn points, draw lots, and strive to reach the pinnacle of life as soon as possible!"

"..." Jason moaned in his heart, I also want to earn a lot of points, but not only are there fewer tasks issued by the system, but there are also fewer star stones.

Fortunately, there is hope for this task to be completed, as long as it is completed, you will get a lucky draw and a gift bag, although the points are a bit small.

"Can you tell me the difference between these items in detail?" Jason asked again, the name seemed to be very powerful.

"The host, please don't fantasize about these unrealistic things for the time being, the right way is to work hard to build your territory and earn points." The system said solemnly.

"..." Jason felt that the system hadn't come up with a very correct time recently, otherwise he would be pissed off at some point.

Jason decided to stop wrangling with the system and continue walking back.

"Are Violet and the others still in town?" Jason suddenly asked Lancelot beside him.

"Yes, she went to the shops in the business district." Lancelot replied, and he specially sent someone to follow Violet and the others from a distance to keep track of their first movements.

Not for surveillance, but to avoid any unexpected incidents between them, Jason immediately stepped forward and tried his best to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

"She should have seen Dorn and the others come back, right?" Jason calculated the time when Violet left, and he should be able to meet the expedition team in the town.

After the expedition team returns, the townspeople will definitely watch, so Violet should already know about their mission.

"Yes, she happened to bump into the expedition team after she left the castle."

"I don't know if she has any ideas about exploring the ice field." Jason touched his chin. It would be great if he could attract an investor in this matter.

The Iron Fangs do not have prospecting talents and must be hired from the outside, but this will easily leak secrets. It would be best if such slaves could be bought in Lucca.

It's just that such slaves are rare and expensive, and they will be bought by the local nobles before he can make a move. The Kyle family does not engage in the slave trade.

"I can only trouble the Kyle family any more." Jason thought that he could only give up a part of the mineral interests in exchange for the Kyle family's help.

He now regards the unidentified mine vein occupied by the barbarians as his own property. The money is touching, and the entire mine vein can make any nobleman crazy.

The right to mine veins has always been available only to nobles.

"My lord, please forgive me. We have been relying on the Kyle family for so long, and we can easily become puppets and be manipulated by them." Lancelot said again.

Recently, the large and small things in the territory have relied too much on the Kyle family. It is impossible for them to continue to help the Iron Fang collar. After a long time, the territory will definitely pay some price for it.

"Of course I know, but we don't have any good solutions. Our current development really needs them."

"However, I will try to unite some northern nobles, such as the Lyon family, at the banquet in a while."

A noble lord without allies is like a piece of fat coveted by nearby nobles, so Jason needs to find a noble lord who can help him.

After returning to the castle, Jason first visited Alexis and chatted with her for a while.

After that, there was nothing to say all night, and he didn't rush to find Violet the next day, and Violet also didn't come to him.

"Did I guess wrong?" Jason rubbed his forehead in distress.

Could it be that Violet has no interest in the Gera Icefield? Or does she feel like she's not getting results?

In fact, his thoughts were too much.

Violet is very interested in ice fields, especially the dwarf incident decades ago.

She was just waiting for her men to bring the star stone Jason needed from a nearby town.

Finally, the day before the award ceremony for the expedition team, Violet brought her old housekeeper here.

"Villet came uninvited, I hope Master Jason will not blame you." These were the first words Violet said after entering the door.

"How could it be?" Jason got up to greet him, smiled and said reproachfully, "Didn't you agree not to call me Sir? Just call me Jason."

"Hehehe, then I'll overstep." Violet covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

"Discover the integral energy source!" At this time, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Jason's mind.

Is this for a gift? It's different from what I imagined.

"Jason, I heard that you like this kind of stone after I got back, so I sent someone to collect some." Violet opened her mouth as a gift, and Jason didn't know how to talk to her about the mineral vein business next. .

She waved her hand, and the servant behind her immediately brought up a small wooden box.

"Here are twenty-five star stones that I delivered from a store in a nearby town. I hope you like them." This is already all the inventory of the Kyle Family's Northern Chamber of Commerce. After receiving Violet's carrier pigeon, they sent out The fast horse traveled starry night and sent it to Tieya Town.

I like it, I like it so much! I don't even like you so much when you give me 10,000 gold coins!

"Thank you so much." Jason took the box with a smile on his face.

"By the way, did your expedition discover anything on the ice field?" Seeing Jason accepting the gift, Violet smiled even brighter, and then took advantage of the situation to ask her purpose for today.

"Of course." Jason glanced at her with a smile, and finally got to the point.

"My expedition team found a strange mineral vein on the ice field. This mineral vein is occupied by a group of barbarians, and there is a human in it."

"Human?" Violet and the old housekeeper looked at each other, and they both saw doubt and a trace of speculation in their eyes.

"That's right, a human being," Jason said affirmatively.

"What do the minerals in this vein look like?" Violet asked again.

"It emits fluorescence under the night." Jason raised his head and glanced at the two, telling him intuitively that this vein of mine was not as simple as he imagined.

"Pure Heart Stone vein!" Violet said affirmatively.

"What's the value?"

No matter what kind of mine vein Jason is, the most important question is whether this kind of mine is enough to support the rapid development of his territory.

"It's worth a lot, but whether the specific value is worth our vigorous mining depends on the ore content of this vein." Violet said, this requires professionals to go to the ice sheet to conduct field surveys.

And there is a medium-sized barbarian tribe there, so Jason has to send troops to encircle and suppress it before he can know the value of this mine. This will be a big gamble.

"..." Jason's fingers tapped the armrest of the seat hastily, his brows were wrinkled and his face was serious.

If you want to know whether the ore vein is worth vigorously mining, you need to send troops to encircle the barbarians there. This will definitely cause a large number of casualties of soldiers. If the ore content of the ore vein is low, you will suffer heavy losses.

This will be a disaster for the current Iron Fang collar.

"What if this vein is rich in minerals?" Jason asked, staring at Violet.

"If the ore content of this vein is at a medium level, then Iron Fangling will have development funds for the next ten years." Violet replied with a smile.

"My lord!" Lancelot stood up when Jason was struggling.

"Subordinates, please fight. If Gareth and I can participate in the battle, the casualties of the soldiers will be minimized." His eyes were firm and filled with fighting intent. This would be an action that would determine the fate of the Iron Fang collar.

If he wins the bet, it will bring huge benefits to Iron Fang Town; if he loses the bet, Iron Fang Leader may become a puppet of the Kyle family forever.

"Okay!" Jason stood up and gritted his teeth, agreeing to Lancelot's proposal. Even if he loses the bet, it is not impossible for him to slowly accumulate strength with the help of the system.

"If this vein is worth mining, the distribution ratio between our two families is ninety-one!" He stared at Violet and said in a tone that could not be refuted!

This is his bottom line. The military strength and mining rights are all in his hands. The Kyle family only needs to help him provide prospecting talents and sales channels. If Violet disagrees, then they will break up.

"Deal." Violet stood up and said, she knew that if she negotiated terms with Jason again, the potential stock she found in Lopez Kingdom would turn against her.

"Finally, please tell me what the Pure Heart Stone is for." Jason frowned after sitting down.

"This kind of cutie is very popular with those guys on the west coast!" Violet smiled mysteriously.
