Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Witch Annie Frost Wolf Castle. David has been methodically cultivating and developing his territory during this time. Although this time he successfully resolved Marquis Ice Bear, the biggest threat. He always knew that the Ice Bear Clan was just a pawn in the second prince’s struggle for the Northern Lands, and the second prince could support a new pawn at any time. Moreover, the Northern Lands are so vast, and the forces within are not just from the second prince; there are also the eldest prince and even forces from the bordering Jingge Kingdom infiltrating. Even his father, a Tier Six Knight, could die on the battlefield so easily, and his current strength is still far from his father’s level. Apart from that. There are also threats from the Church and Duke of Ice Crown that need to be guarded against. What he needs to do now is continue to improve his strength, continue to develop Frost Wolf Ridge, and remain unchanged in response to all changes, waiting for opponents to jump out on their own accord. This time, he forcefully killed Marquis Ice Bear with overwhelming force to establish his prestige. Believe that for a short time, there shouldn’t be any forces openly attacking Frost Wolf Ridge, this is the rare development window period for Frost Wolf Ridge! As time continues to pass, during this period, there have already been nobles coming to Frost Wolf Ridge with ransoms to redeem their masters and knights. These ransoms include not only a portion of gold coins but also a large number of peasants, livestock, weapons, and food, and even... women. Inside City Hall. Reina is organizing the nobles’ ransom. "The wealth of the Ice Bear Clan is terrifying indeed." She suddenly spoke. During this time, Marquis Ice Bear really accumulated a batch of wealth like mad, but now all this becomes cheap for Frost Wolf Ridge. Indeed, plundering is the fastest way to accumulate wealth. Besides these assets, they unexpectedly found a map. The map records some of the forces the second prince has in the Northern Lands. David is somewhat surprised. The map shows that the second prince’s infiltration into the Northern Lands is already very strong. The forces left by his father at that time were eliminated by the second prince and other forces over a period of time. "Lord Duke." Reina looked at the map with a worried face. Since ancient times, participating in the struggle for the throne is the most dangerous thing, with countless families rising because of it, and countless families perishing because of it. "Don’t worry, I have it under control." David spoke. He always knew the battle was never over. The Frost Wolf Clan has always been a representative of the traditional faction, once supporting the eldest prince in the royal family’s struggle, which is also why the second prince has been targeting the Frost Wolf Clan. Now, due to the old King still being alive, the second prince only controls pawns to suppress the Frost Wolf Clan, but once the old King dies, the Silver Moon Kingdom will surely have a civil war. And the Frost Wolf Clan is likely to become the target of the second prince. He even suspects that his father’s death has the second prince’s shadow behind it. Now, he inherits the powerful bloodline of the Frost Giant Wolf, which may even break through to the Tier Seven Sky Knight. Coupled with the talent he has displayed at such a young age. If he gets the chance to weaken or even destroy the Frost Wolf Clan, he feels the second prince will surely show no mercy. Therefore, in the civil war, only by bringing down the second prince from the throne can he protect himself and the Frost Wolf Clan. So, should the Frost Wolf Clan continue to support the eldest prince? Moreover, the Silver Moon Guardian Corps, which has taken over the Northern Fortress from the Frost Wolf Clan, only obeys the King of Silver Moon Kingdom. This is a force that directly determines the regional layout of the Northern Lands, basically meaning whoever becomes the King of Silver Moon Kingdom can directly control everything in the Northern Lands. "We definitely can do it." Reina’s face also became serious. She thought of her Jingge Kingdom, the situation of the Jingge Royal Family is so similar to the Frost Wolf Clan now. But she has confidence that she can change all this together with the man before her who changed her life. "Hmm." David nodded with a smile on his face. After all, he is a man with a Golden Finger, so it’s all about determination and hard work! In addition to this, the search for a wizard cannot stop; he wants to become a powerful wizard, and he must obtain wizard inheritance to do so. ... In a manor of Frost Wolf Ridge. The peasants and slaves brought from Ice Bear City are working. For the nobles of this world, peasants and slaves are also part of their wealth. After a busy period. Annie returned to her residence and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to her outstanding appearance, she was spotted by the manor’s supervisor and is planned to be sent to the castle to become a maid. Of course, to enter the castle, these maids must undergo strict examination and corresponding skill training. Because Annie might become a castle maid, she was assigned an independent residence. Upon entering the room, she went to the window to pull the curtains down, and then moved a table to block the door. She sighs slightly, then suddenly closes her eyes, allowing faint silver light to shimmer on her body, gradually outlining a silver magic array. Then she placed a black feather on the magic array and began to chant an obscure spell. Suddenly, the entire magic array glowed, swallowing the black feather, and then a Black Sparrow appeared on the magic array. Chirp chirp chirp-- The Black Sparrow chirped towards Annie. "Hello, Black Sparrow." "I need you to deliver a message again." Annie greeted the Black Sparrow. The Black Sparrow nodded, and Annie placed a letter into a tube for the Black Sparrow to swallow. Just a while ago, she received a message from Sister Luo Sha. According to the letter, Duke Frost Wolf surprisingly took in a witch, which made her very puzzled. And at just this moment, Ice Bear City was breached, so Annie followed the peasants and slaves to Frost Wolf Ridge. This indeed is a chance to get close to Duke Frost Wolf. Whether it’s for the possible wizard inheritance within the Frost Wolf Clan or to figure out Duke Frost Wolf’s reason for taking in a witch. Chirp chirp chirp-- The Black Sparrow nodded, then suddenly with a bang, transformed into black mist and disappeared. "Next, I still need to carefully hide my identity." Annie took a deep breath. Now she was not sure why Duke Frost Wolf wants to harbor a witch. If she revealed her identity as a witch, how would he react? Forcibly keeping her, letting her go, or trying to contact the wizard organization behind her? She felt Duke Frost Wolf’s goal might be to use the power of wizards to enhance Frost Wolf Ridge’s strength to counter potential threats. Notably, Duke Frost Wolf’s quick breakthrough to Tier Four Knight Level, and his ability to kill Marquis Ice Bear, might also be due to the wizard’s power. Moreover, from the information she received, the situation at Frost Wolf Ridge doesn’t seem favorable. Under these circumstances, a wizard’s power could indeed change the crisis at Frost Wolf Ridge. But she still wasn’t ready to take risks. Watching the Black Sparrow disappear, Annie summoned other messenger magic pets. She has a wizard organization behind her, and she is the liaison officer for this wizard organization. With her witch talent, she can control many common demons to be her messenger magic pets. Plus, with the summoning technique she commands, she can summon these messenger magic pets anywhere to learn the situation of her companions. As the Silver Moon Kingdom’s civil war begins, the Northern Lands are about to descend into chaos, and the witches must find new retreats. Thus, time slowly passed bit by bit. David would never have guessed that a wizard he’s been searching for is waiting for him right within the manor.
