The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 19: In Search of the Wizard's Fortune

the next day.

When David arrived at the study, the Gray Wolf Knight was already waiting there.

When the Gray Wolf Knight heard that a shadow witch had sneaked in last night, he was scared to death.

The castle has always been under the protection of the Frostwolf Knights, yet under such circumstances, an assassin was able to sneak into the castle and carry out assassination.

Fortunately, the current Young Master David is not weaker than him. If he was still the previous Young Master David, he would definitely not be able to withstand this round of assassination.

An assassin who possesses the power of darkness is like a cheetah hiding in the darkness, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time, making it impossible to guard against.

"Master David, we didn't find anyone." The Gray Wolf Knight said in a deep voice.

David nodded when he heard this. This was within his expectations. Although the Shadow Witch ran away, she must have felt uncomfortable after being attacked by the power of ice.

In this case, the Shadow Witch would definitely flee far away.

"Let someone keep an eye on it."

David nodded and went to the desk, picking up his quill and parchment.

Although a night has passed, the appearance of the Shadow Witch is still vivid in my mind.

He took the quill and began to draw on the parchment. Soon he had drawn the appearance of the Shadow Witch and then gave it to the Gray Wolf Knight to post.

This witch possesses the power of shadow, and her power is necessarily limited during the day.

If she dares to stay in Frostwolf Ridge, the Grey Wolf Riders and the established population registration system will leave this witch with no way to hide!

"Master David, is this the witch?"

The Gray Wolf Knight looked at the figure in the painting and felt something in his heart.

It’s true that David’s painting skills are quite good. The figure in this painting is 70% similar to the witch, and you can vaguely see her beautiful face.

While the Grey Wolf Knight asked the clerk to go down and post the portrait, David continued to check the official documents of the territory.

It is winter now, and most activities in the territory have stopped. Civilians basically hide in their houses. The only thing to pay attention to is the refugee camps.

As so many days passed, the number of refugees gathered in the refugee camp increased, which also caused the Gray Wolf Knight to worry.

Although Frostwolf Ridge experienced a good harvest due to the presence of organic fertilizer, food was still limited and could not supply the food needs of more refugees.

“It’s going to snow soon.”

"With heavy snow blocking the roads, it's impossible for more refugees to come here."

David's face was calm. He possessed a strong talent for ice and his predictions about the temperature and snow were very accurate.

With the number of refugees in the refugee camps today, the black bread made by mixing tree bark and wheat bran together would be enough for them to survive the winter.

What he has to consider now is how to resettle these refugees.

It is a good choice to let all these refugees become farmers. With the presence of organic fertilizers, the originally barren land can continue to be cultivated.

Then, mining also requires workers. There are many mines in Frostwolf Ridge. If you want to develop the territory and accumulate wealth faster, you must speed up mining.

Apart from that, he still had some knowledge of simple black technologies like cement in the real world. He could try to study them and see if he could make them. If he wanted to train to be a knight, he had to have money.

A few days passed, and the Shadow Witch did not appear again, which made David feel relieved.

During this period of time, he has been looking for information related to wizards, and there is one piece of information that interested him very much.

His father, the old duke, had actually destroyed some wizard organizations and obtained the accumulation of these wizard organizations.

Perhaps this is the main reason why the Shadow Witch targeted him.

Unfortunately, the old duke did not record the whereabouts of the wizards' wealth. Perhaps it was hidden or destroyed, which made him feel a little regretful.

If he could obtain these wizard treasures, he might be able to practice true wizardry and gain even stronger supernatural powers.

The power of a wizard.

No matter how the church exaggerates the evil of wizards, it is difficult to conceal the power of wizards themselves.

After all, from the few bits of information he obtained about wizards, it can be seen that wizards once established a very powerful wizard empire.

Those wizards that exist in legends can even be compared to gods. Knights are just lowly servants in front of wizards!
He doesn't care whether the wizard is evil or not. He is only interested in the powerful supernatural powers that the wizard possesses. This is also the extraordinary path he has always wanted to pursue.

"Damn it, I still can't give up."

"Even if I have to turn Frostwolf Ridge upside down, I will find the wizard's wealth." David was still unwilling to give up, so he asked the Gray Wolf Knight to continue searching.

The situation is tense now.

David did not go to the back garden during this period, but practiced in the castle.

Nowadays, there are patrolling knights inside and outside the Frostwolf Castle.

Unless you are a wizard with special powers like the Shadow Witch, no one can come in.

It's afternoon now.

In the attic, Amy's clear reading voice rang out.

Around her, Huo Wu and Shui Lian were listening quietly.

Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on the corners of their mouths, like a flower bud about to bloom.

In the specially designed training room, Leah was leaning against the wall, practicing with the lord to strengthen the Frostwolf bloodline.

Recently, David's knight training encountered a bottleneck and was stuck at the peak of the third level.

In order to achieve the breakthrough faster, he replaced his knight training time with dual training time with Leah.

[You have completed a training, Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline +71]

[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Level 6756 (10000/)]

Unknowingly, he had already gained more than half of the experience needed to advance the Frost Giant Wolf bloodline. With his training speed, it shouldn't take long for him to achieve a breakthrough.

"Master David." Leah kept panting.

David withdrew his attention from the system and sucked her earlobe, "Liya, I love you so much."

Leah's face turned red, but she still bravely responded to the lord's love and took the initiative to start another round of training.
