Throne of the North.

Chapter 369 History Recorded by Nobles
The sun appeared before our eyes, and the snow on the ground became thicker.

"The snow is finally over."

In the heavy snow, all activities were suspended. Llane, who conquered Garm and the people of Fenrir, was trying to change them.

The arena still exists, but it is Lion's arena. The most powerful warriors will be blessed by Lion, giving them extraordinary power, but such an arena will no longer cause a large number of deaths.

Ryan's spiritual balance is slowly increasing. Although it is not like the Birki world where he gains 100,000 spiritualities in an instant, the continuous growth of spirituality also brings Ryan different insights, making him feel the joy of farmers planting and harvesting.

With the emergence of such a slow harvest, Ryan began to arrange for Gam's people to go to the Frozen Territory to participate in the construction of the city. The city was decided to be located 25 kilometers away from the Rhino Horn Mountain. The alchemist Rose had already brought a large number of people to mine rocks to clear out the area of ​​the city.

"This city will not be too tall. Its purpose is to gather people."

Ryan finalized the scale of the city. Although it was very close to the orcs, and many orcs were even closer to Rhino Horn Mountain than here, the city walls were still not entirely for defense.

The Great Wall in the plan is the real line of defense.

During the slow and effective rule, the nobles of the North Wind Province all kept their eyes on the emergence of the Chamber of Commerce, and no one knew that Baron Ryan's strength had greatly improved.

However, the situation in the north was becoming increasingly tense. The emperor of the empire kept issuing orders, and countless grain and grass were transported to several provinces in the north. As more and more orcs appeared in human vision, when the scale reached a certain level, the nobles had reason to suspect that the orcs would launch another large-scale attack.

What is most obvious is that the Kingdom of Andara has sent more envoys to the empire. Just a few days ago, Columbus III ordered the army of Wing Canyon to send 10,000 soldiers to garrison in the military fortress defense line of the Kingdom of Andara.

This is half of the number of troops in Wing Canyon excluding the Extraordinary Legion. It can be seen that the emperor also has great support for the Andara Kingdom.

The dispute between the Empire and the Church has shifted from the front battlefield to the political sphere.

Ryan is also preparing for this. The original two watchtowers have now been increased to ten. The forging of the giant crossbow has not been completed yet. It can be said that 70% of the population of the entire Frozen Territory is now working hard for the construction.

The flow of population also made the Frozen Territory unprecedentedly prosperous, but there was no one in the north of the Frozen Territory, so even if those chambers of commerce came to the Frozen Territory, they didn't know what the people here were busy with.

While overseeing these constructions, Ryan was also busy learning about history.

The history of more than one hundred years ago, everything about the interdimensional war between gods.

This forced him to leave the Frozen Land Territory. After all, his territory had only a few short years of history. Regarding things that happened more than a hundred years ago, he could only consult the great nobles.

Visiting Earl Winter's territory again with gifts, Ryan immersed himself in the earl's collection of books.

He flipped through the books and saw a lot of interesting things, such as the fact that Earl Winter's ancestors were indeed not from the empire, nor were they native nobles of Norris.

The Winter family has the blood of the imperial nobility in their veins, which was left behind by a magician's travels in the past. This allowed the Winter family to be initially accepted by the empire.

The alternate dimension world where the Winter family once lived also encountered the pan-dimensional war of the gods. The dead silence of eternal winter made them flee, but even the southernmost land was icy permafrost. The death of the world and the destruction brought by the war made them make the final choice.

Ryan did not find a more direct history of the Winter family here, as that was something that only the Winter family bloodline could read.

However, there are still many records about the interdimensional war between gods more than a hundred years ago.

"Eighty-three years ago, the great gods came to fulfill their will. The faith of the world gathered together to form a terrible army, and they destroyed the world."

The eighty-three years ago recorded in the books is already one hundred and fifty years ago. Judging from this, the war in this world started more than ten years earlier than that in Norris Continent.

"They have many enemies. Humans like them are their enemies, terrible orcs are their enemies, cruel demons are their enemies, elves and dwarves are also attacking, the flames of dragons have destroyed cities one after another, and they are trying to kill all humans."

"Until... the gods no longer carried out their will, the war began to come to an end, the soldiers in the north no longer had the chance to return to the south, and the cold wind blew from the north to the south."

"At first, no one paid attention to the cold wind, but when warmth no longer came, when the wind and snow from the northern lands continued to flood the southern world, and did not melt for several years, the world ushered in the end."

"Countless lives are fleeing the icy northern border, the land in the south is overcrowded, and killings and conflicts have broken out one after another."

"Finally, the population shrunk, and the land was reasonably distributed to all lives. We all thought that everything was over, but unexpectedly, the end was just the beginning."

"Every year, colder winds come with icy snow, the land in the north is squeezed, and the world in the south becomes tense again."

"There is no peace to speak of anymore. Everyone is struggling to survive in the apocalypse."

"We finally began to realize that the war between gods and spirits was not ordinary, and the survivors finally began to seek the truth hidden in the past."

"We can't find it. We have tried everything but we can only find the remains of the great god. He is dead..."

"The source of divinity turned into a crystal clear mountain. It was the body of the god. When they came to this conclusion, everyone fell into madness. They no longer had any reason."

"Mortals cannot look directly at a god, even his corpse."

"But what's puzzling is that they didn't die. It's as if they just collapsed mentally because they couldn't bear the radiation of the power of the gods. If we don't consider that they are already crazy, they are still ordinary humans."

"Sick human."

"This is different. If mortals look directly at the existence of gods, their souls will be distorted. Everything they have will be swallowed up by the gods and disappear into thin air. This is the price of facing the gods directly."

"It is inevitable that even powerful legends will have their souls broken when facing gods, but these people do not have too serious consequences."

"Perhaps that is not the body of a god... I take it for granted that I am making this guess, because I still hope that a god will appear one day and lead his people through the end of the world."

Ryan continued reading, comparing it with the history written by many people.

Perhaps for the gods, that war was a long-planned one, but the believers had no warning before the war began, and the pan-dimensional war came very suddenly to them.

Moreover, the enemies they face are very diverse, and it seems that anyone can become their enemy.

To humans, orcs are their enemies. This is a racial stance, but the pan-dimensional war of gods is different. Ryan has heard more than once that their enemies also include humans, and their friends in the war are not just humans.

Why, as human beings, some people stand on the other side of the war while others stand on this side?

There may be only one answer. It is not a war between races, nor a war between worlds. That war belongs exclusively to the gods.

The great being started the war for its own needs, but it ended in just a few decades because one side was completely defeated.

In war, all lives are their believers. Only in this way can it be explained that humans’ enemies include orcs as well as other humans.

They belong to different followers of gods.

So... who is the winner and who is the loser of the Pan-Dimensional War?
Ryan thought of his spiritual panel. It was undeniable that those dead gods were losers.

The Stag of Exner, the Fields of Svadifari, the Frost Lord of Birki.

They are all losers, so from this perspective, they should be gods from the same camp.

What about the other camp?

Lord of the Dawn...

The empire still believed in that great existence. Although the Lord of Dawn seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep after the Pan-Plane War and rarely performed miracles, he did not fall like those dead gods. Since he was alive, he was not a loser, he was on the side of victory.

Ryan suddenly had a headache because he had a spiritual panel. The spiritual panel absorbed the remaining will of those dead gods and turned it into a means of blessing. In a sense, Ryan did inherit the will of these gods.

According to this statement, isn't Ryan standing on the side of a loser? What he has to face is such a great existence as the Lord of Dawn and the God of Light?

Ryan looked up and saw the sun in the sky through the window.

What the hell, there is such a person in my list of potential enemies?

Want me to kill the sun?
Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about this somewhat desperate topic. A day later, he bid farewell to Earl Winter and went to the Earl of Sauron's family.

Compared to Earl Winter, Earl Sauron is a native of the Norris continent.

In the history recorded by the Earl of Sauron's family, there is a description of the pan-dimensional war of gods in the Norris continent, which is much more exciting.

The thickest book seems to have been recorded by a certain earl.

"Sixty years ago, this date was the seventy-fifth year of Columbus II's reign. That is more than one hundred and thirty years ago, which is exactly the time of the Pan-Dimensional War of Gods."

Ryan continued reading and found that the records about this earl were much more detailed.

"That day, the glory of the morning light flooded the entire world. When night fell, Lady Moon was unable to come out. For three days, three nights and seventy-two hours, the entire world of Norris was submerged in the glory of the morning light."

"The Church has gone mad. The honorable Pope is bathing in the holy light under the glory, and the warriors of the eternal kingdom of heaven are guarding him. We don't know how to call him. Maybe we are already "Him."

"The warriors of the Kingdom of Heaven launched a war against the great being in the distance. No one doubted the victory of the Lord of Dawn. All the territories on the Norris Continent followed him fanatically. Countless soldiers crossed the Bridge of Dawn and appeared on the battlefield."

“They never came back.”

"Damn it, is it because of this reason that the Flor Empire recently betrayed the great Dawn? They were clearly the most fanatical believers of the Dawn during the war, and even the Pope crowned and praised the Emperor of Flor."

"In short, in the first ten years of the war, all the soldiers who entered the battlefield never came back. The evil magicians and sorcerers began to spread rumors that those people had been killed by Dawn, and that Dawn was injured and needed to use the lives of believers to heal itself."

"A new round of demon hunting began. In the tenth year after the war began, the terrible power of the Church was exposed. They searched the entire world for traces of magicians and alchemists. Just like in the past, they burned countless enemies to death with fire."

"The war is still going on. The nobles are somewhat afraid of war. They have a good relationship with the archbishops of the Holy See. They gradually understand that their enemies are also humans, not demons from the abyss. Even in the war, the demons' followers are among them."

“The nobles are somewhat puzzled and horrified. Why would the Lord of Dawn declare war on humans? Who exactly is His enemy?”

"The nobles began to question. Of course, they questioned the Dawn Church. In the second decade of the war, many nobles died."

"The authority of the Holy See is unquestionable. No matter in the past or now, the Flor Empire will pay a price. I just don't know whether the Columbus royal family will be burned to death in the holy fire."

"..."

"I was wrong. No one could have imagined that the Holy See would lose so miserably in the third decade of the war."

"The nobles began to reject war and began to question the Church. They no longer ordered their troops to form the army of faith of the Dawn. They began to contact those evil magicians... My father was among them..."

The next few pages were torn off. The Sauron family did not want certain things to be recorded on them, so Ryan could only read on in fragments.

"The extraordinary world is terrifying, but only extraordinary power can help the nobles see the truth of the pan-dimensional war between gods. In the third decade of the war, the church's demon hunting operation suffered an unprecedented failure."

"The nobles helped the magicians hide, and even supported them in launching an attack on the bishops of the Holy See at a perfect opportunity."

"Magic is indeed a force used to challenge the gods. In the third decade, magicians destroyed the Holy Mountain of the Church. Yes, the Holy Mountain. At that time, the Holy Mountain of the Church was still in the center of Grand Duke Norris, on the Norris Plain, which is known as the chest of the world. The Holy Mountain was the only mountain there. I didn't expect it to be destroyed by magicians."

"In the past ten years, with the secret help of the nobles, the magicians have killed countless clergy. The Dawn Church, which claimed to have one million missionaries, now has only a few missionaries walking around."

"Retribution will come at the end of the third decade."

"The magic factor on Norris Continent is no longer active."

"At this point, the magicians were terrified. The magic factor in the void was no longer active. They had no eternal energy, and they could no longer kill the clergy of the Church."

"The faith of the Dawn has won a great victory. Everyone believes that this is the price of fighting against the Dawn. The Church has risen again, and a large number of nobles... have died again."

“Is it over? I wish I had finished writing this, but we all know that everything has just begun.”

"The deathly silence of the magic factor is not because the magicians have suffered revenge. In the north of the world, the polar snow has blown to the south. In just one day, the North Sea Kingdom in the northernmost part of Norris was frozen, and all humans turned into ice sculptures. A knight went to investigate, but he returned trembling, without the dignity of a knight anymore."

"The North has arrived."

"It flooded the north of Norris Continent at a speed faster than the wind. In front of the North, both nobles and slaves were equal. The only difference was that some nobles who reacted began to flee to the south."

"The Flor Empire...what enviable luck."

"The snowstorm in the north covered the land in the north, and even the plain where the Holy Mountain of the Holy See was located was submerged. But when it was 800 miles away from the land of the Flor Empire, the snowstorm stopped."

"The Flor Empire has received unimaginable support, and even the Holy Mountain in the south of the Holy See has their help."

"The land in the north is all flooded, and the wind and snow are still moving south, but at a slower speed."

"Is it over now? No, because the disappeared magicians have returned again."

"They told the nobles a terrible secret. Many gods have fallen in the North. Their divine origins..."

"The evil magicians found the divine essence left behind by the fallen gods. They were so bold as to start hunting the gods that had not yet fallen. The magicians and nobles joined forces to merge the divine essence into their own blood."

"The Flor Empire has gained too much power and too many resources from nobles who fled from the north to the south. This has given rise to their ambitions."

"Everyone, everyone predicted that these nobles and magicians would suffer revenge and backlash from the gods. How could mortals devour the essence of the gods?"

"But... they succeeded."

"The magicians don't know why, but they discovered that the divine origins are highly compatible with humans. The divine origins did not devour the blood of humans. On the contrary, the divine origins actively merged into the blood."

"They accept the power that humans have gained for themselves."

"The nobles...are completely crazy."

"In the south of Norris Continent, the Flor Empire also challenged the Church, and during this process, the magic factor in the void became active again."

"The glory of the Lord of Dawn once again blooms in the Norris World, and the world has regained its vitality, but no one knows why it has been restored."

"But the nobles all know one thing in their hearts. There are differences between the gods."
