Chapter 118: Chapter 105: A Haul of War Spoils (Part 2) "This Earth Dragon Lizard is still alive, I need your Spirit Contract power." David spoke up. Annie reacted and nodded quickly. However, trying to contract with a Tier Five Extraordinary Magical Beast is not an easy task. Even though she has the Spirit Contract talent, she still needs to arrange the corresponding Contract Ceremony. Moreover, among all the wizards currently, only David, who possesses Tier Four Spirit Power at the Middle-Level Wizard tier, can forcibly contract. While Annie was preparing for the ceremony, Liya, Amy, Reina, Cynthia, and Hill also arrived at the Wizard Castle. Yesterday night, David had not returned all night. Fortunately, in the morning, he sent Snow Eagle back to report, and they hurried over immediately. "Marquis of Giant Lizard!" Reina was the first to notice the frozen silhouette. Her pupils slightly shrank, and she immediately turned her gaze towards David, suddenly appearing less amiable. She had also received the news yesterday that the Marquis of Giant Lizard had arrived at Icefield City. Currently, the nobles and officials of Frost Wolf Ridge are still deliberating on how to respond to the Marquis of Giant Lizard and the Royal Capital Alliance Army. But she never expected that Lord Duke would actually infiltrate Icefield City alone and directly kill the Marquis of Giant Lizard and the Earth Dragon Lizard! Executing a decapitation strategy is indeed the most effective method to break the situation. But just thinking about the inherent danger, especially with Lord Duke deciding to act personally, gave her chills! Being both Tier Five Earth Knights, the Marquis of Giant Lizard also had a Tier Five Earth Dragon Lizard, this decision was really too reckless! Even though it’s successful now, just thinking about the consequences of failure made Reina shiver, and there’s no way she’d give David a good face at this moment. The others changed expressions upon hearing Reina’s reminder. "Don’t worry, I was fully prepared before acting." David reassured. With Full Beastification transforming into a Tier Six Frost Giant Wolf, unless the Duke of the Western Border personally comes, he was confident to retreat safely. Fortunately, Annie was ready with the ceremony, rescuing David. Upon seeing this, David began to melt the ice, freeing the Marquis of Giant Lizard and the Earth Dragon Lizard from their ice-bound state. At this moment, the Marquis of Giant Lizard, even as a Tier Five Earth Knight, had already been deprived of life by the ice, and even the Soul Power had been extracted by David. Although the Marquis of Giant Lizard was a knight rather than a profession specifically cultivating Spiritual Power, the Soul Power provided was still considerable. "Everyone be careful, the Earth Dragon Lizard is awakening." David reminded. The Earth Dragon Lizard was in a state similar to hibernation, allowing it to survive even while ice-sealed. As the ice slowly melted away, the Earth Dragon Lizard gradually awoke from its slumber. It slowly lifted its head, gradually coming to consciousness, then suddenly showed a look of fear in its eyes. Evidently, it still remembered the fear brought by the Frost Giant Wolf. Especially when sensing the aura emanating from David, its body trembled violently. In the next moment, in everyone’s astonished gazes, this Earth Dragon Lizard, lacking any backbone, prostrated itself on the ground, expressing its submission. "Is it... submitting?" Annie was taken aback. Initially, she thought contracting this Tier Five Extraordinary Magical Beast would require much effort, but now this Earth Dragon Lizard unexpectedly submitted on its own! She looked at Duke Frost Wolf in surprise, curious about why this man had such great charm. David, however, was not surprised at all. Among Extraordinary Magical Beasts, strong racial hierarchies exist. It’s quite common for weaker Extraordinary Magical Beasts to submit to stronger ones among beasts. "I accept your submission." David stepped forward, placing his hand on the Earth Dragon Lizard’s head. Roar roar roar— The Earth Dragon Lizard already possessed considerable intelligence. David, mastering Beast Language, easily conversed with the Earth Dragon Lizard. This made Cynthia, who also spoke Beast Language, give a surprised glance, continuously looking back and forth between David and the Earth Dragon Lizard. Through the conversation, David explained the Spirit Contract to the Earth Dragon Lizard, which did not refuse. "Hill, next you’ll contract with this Earth Dragon Lizard." David stated. Hill was an Earth Witch, and the Earth Dragon Lizard also possessed the Power of Earth, indeed very suitable as Hill’s Magic Pet. Hill was startled, evidently not expecting Lord Duke would allow her, a Tier Three Witch, to contract with the Tier Five Earth Dragon Lizard! Annie also showed a surprised expression. This was a Tier Five Extraordinary Magical Beast, and moreover, it was a Dragon-type Magical Beast. Duke Frost Wolf didn’t keep it for himself, but instead intended to give it to Hill, this Tier Three Witch. Now, she had to admit, Duke Frost Wolf was indeed very good to his wife. From recent conversations, she learned how Liya, Amy, Reina, and Cynthia met Duke Frost Wolf. Even Hill was forcibly rescued by Duke Frost Wolf from the Church’s hands. After learning this, she finally understood why Hill admired Duke Frost Wolf, even voluntarily giving herself to him. And Duke Frost Wolf did not disappoint Hill. Aside from being somewhat amorous, this man was truly exceptional. "Annie, is it okay?" David inquired. Annie recovered her senses, appearing a bit hesitant. It was truly the difference between Hill and the Earth Dragon Lizard was too large, if the Earth Dragon Lizard struggled slightly, the Spirit Contract would directly fail. "No problem, the Earth Dragon Lizard will cooperate." David stated. If both parties in the contract were completely cooperative, it was indeed possible to sign the contract despite the differences in Spiritual Power strength. Seeing Duke Frost Wolf speak so confidently, Annie nodded. Then, she conducted the Spirit Contract ceremony for Hill and the Earth Dragon Lizard, establishing a Spiritual Power link between them. The process wasn’t overly complicated, Hill and the Earth Dragon Lizard successfully completed the Spirit Contract. "Please take care of me in the future." Hill smiled at the Earth Dragon Lizard in front of her lacking backbone. Roar roar roar— The Earth Dragon Lizard nodded, its gaze turning towards David. Its meaning was clear, wanting its true leader’s recognition. "Well done." "From now on, the safety of this castle will be in your hands." David smiled in reassurance. With both the Tier Four Earth Dragon Beast and the Tier Five Earth Dragon Lizard guarding, the Wizard Castle would undoubtedly be the safest place in Frost Wolf Ridge. Unfortunately, this Tier Five Earth Dragon Lizard couldn’t be exposed to the light, else David truly wished to pull it directly onto the battlefield, it certainly would be a very strong war machine! Watching Hill arranging for the Earth Dragon Lizard, David slightly relaxed. Now everything was handled, he couldn’t help but feel a bit fatigued. After all, having charged for such a long time, experienced a battle, then transformed into the Frost Giant Wolf, the expenditure of physical and Spiritual power was substantial. David returned to his room. But before leaving, he still called on Reina. This fight, besides the Marquis of Giant Lizard and the Earth Dragon Lizard. The Frost Wolf Spirit, through Soul Absorption, absorbed much Soul Power and converted it to Spiritual Power. However, this Spiritual Power didn’t provide much assistance to him, so he planned to let Reina, this woman who also possessed the Snow Demon Spirit, absorb it. The Soul Absorption capability, being the Snow Demon’s Talent Ability, Reina should also be able to absorb these Spiritual Powers converted from the Frost Wolf Spirit. In the bathroom. Water in the bathtub continuously splashed. "Shouldn’t you first get some proper rest?" Reina turned to look at David, speaking somewhat helplessly. "It doesn’t affect."
