The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 13 Winter is Coming
Another night of joy.

The next day, David got up early.

The two sisters Huo Wu and Shui Lian have already prepared breakfast on the third floor.

David sat in the main seat, Shui Lian served him beside him, and Huo Wu had already entered the room and began to clean up the mess on the bed and replace the bedding.

Leah has already gotten used to it.

Amy's face was still red and she looked shy.

"Sister, let me help you." Shui Lian walked over and said.

"Need not."

Huo Wu said lightly, and took the dirty bedding to wash.

Watching this scene, David narrowed his eyes slightly. Through observations over this period of time, he discovered that Huo Wu had been intentionally or unintentionally taking on the dirty work for himself.

This means that, beneath Huo Wu's seemingly emotionless appearance, she has always been taking care of her sister and is not really expressionless.

"It's good that there's still emotion." David looked relieved.

After breakfast, he took Leah and Amy to the secret back garden.

Amy was still sitting in the rattan chair reading a book as usual, while David and Leah were practicing the Frostwolf Breathing Technique to continue improving their knightly strength.

woohoo-

Leah's figure danced like an elf.

His long gray hair fluttered in the wind and his blood was surging.

Suddenly, Leah opened her eyes with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Breakthrough?"

David opened his eyes and looked over unexpectedly.

It has been some time since Leah's strength reached the level of a high-level knight squire. Coupled with the system's enhancement of the Frostwolf bloodline during this period, she should indeed have made a breakthrough.

"Ok!"

Leah nodded excitedly.

She had never thought that one day she would become a formal knight!
But now, all this has become a reality.

Thinking of this, Leah couldn't help but throw herself into David's arms, her eyes became hot, "My Lord, I want it."

David naturally would not refuse. He picked up Leah and walked towards the grove nearby. Leah, who had been resisting this, actually agreed without saying a word!

[You have completed a training, Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline +68]

[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Level 265 (10000/)]

As Leah's strength increased to the official knight level, the experience points provided by each dual cultivation reached 68 points!
Moreover, after Leah breaks through to become a formal knight, her physical strength will definitely increase a lot, and the number of times she practices every day will also increase.

Although the experience points required to upgrade the Frost Giant Wolf bloodline from the fourth level to the fifth level have reached 1 points, the improvement speed will not be much slower than before as the experience points gained from each practice increase.

a long time.

The two of them put on their clothes again and came out.

Amy knew nothing about this. For a simple little witch, doing that in the wild was something she couldn't imagine or accept.

Even if David wanted to, the little witch would never agree.

Of course, David would not give up.

Before, Leah was totally against it, but now she has given in.

Noon time.

The three of them and the two maids had dinner in the pavilion in the garden. Afterwards, they practiced breathing techniques until the evening, and then returned to the castle together. The evening was a time for double cultivation, and their days were extremely fulfilling.

……

The time has come to the severe winter month, November.

From this time on, winter has arrived and the temperature begins to drop sharply.

This means that the predicted disaster of refugees is about to come.

In the study, David looked at the recent situation in the territory with a serious expression.

“This is information from the census.”

The Grey Wolf Knight handed over a stack of parchment, which contained densely packed information about the population of Frostwolf Ridge, down to age, residence, and family.

This was the task David had previously assigned to the territorial officials, and each piece of parchment was like a household registration book from his previous life, allowing him to better understand the people in his territory.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Leo."

"Winter is coming. Next, we can cut off all roads leading to the outside world from Frostwolf Ridge." David issued the executive order that he had already thought of.

The most troublesome thing about the refugees is those who sneak into the territory. The territory is so large that it is impossible to detect a few people with ulterior motives who sneak in.

This also means that mercenaries and wandering knights may take this opportunity to sneak into Frostwolf Ridge, assassinate Frostwolf Ridge officials, and cause chaos.

After cutting off the roads to the outside world, coupled with patrolling militia and census forms, it will not be so easy for outsiders to sneak into Frostwolf Ridge!

Of course, it is difficult to keep so many refugees out of the Frostwolves.

Therefore, David marked out an area on the outskirts of Frostwolf Ridge, intending to establish a temporary gathering place for the refugees. In addition, Frostwolf Ridge should have enough food for the refugees to survive the winter, allowing these refugees to survive this winter.

As long as they can survive the harsh winter, these refugees will stay in Frostwolf Ridge. With organic fertilizer as a tool to increase food production, he is not worried about not being able to feed the refugees. Instead, he can absorb these refugees to enhance the overall strength of Frostwolf Ridge.

"Okay, I'll go and convey the order later."

The Gray Wolf Knight nodded, a look of relief on his face.

Although the new Frostwolf Duke is not as powerful as the old Duke, he is able to handle the affairs of the territory in an orderly manner and is already a qualified lord.

Just a pity.

Duke Frostwolf still has no children.

Thinking of this, the Grey Wolf Knight sorted out the documents in his hand, and then suddenly took out a piece of parchment and handed it to David.

David took it and saw that the parchment contained information about all the girls in Frostwolf Ridge. The Grey Wolf Knight's meaning was self-evident.

The lord owns everything in the territory, including the right of virginity. If David gives an order, the virginity of all girls will belong to the lord.

Of course, David had no interest in this. He just glanced at it, returned the parchment, and said seriously: "I will give birth to a child as soon as possible."

In fact, he was also very confused. He worked hard every time, so why did Leah and Amy still have no reaction?

However, it is difficult for Bloodline Knights to have offspring, and the stronger they are, the more difficult it is to have offspring, so they can only wait patiently.

After the Gray Wolf Knight left, David returned to the third floor of the castle and began his knight training and dual cultivation again, and his strength continued to improve.

……

The time came to the ice month, December.

This is a winter that is much colder than previous years.

The Far North was hit by a cold wave, forcing a large number of civilians to migrate south.

These refugees wandered between cities, towns and villages.

But most of the land could hardly support more people. The nobles who only knew how to squeeze the blood and sweat from the land and serfs would spare no effort to drive away, plunder, or even kill these refugees, driving them closer to Frostwolf Ridge.

Among these refugees, there are also a large number of wandering knights and mercenaries who come with a purpose. They have only one goal, to capture Frostwolf Ridge!
