The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 52: Fourth-level Snow Demon Soul
Silver Moon Calendar Year 659, the starting month.

The winter snow melts, the spring breeze blows, all things revive and are full of vitality.

Those refugees who were stranded in the north due to the cold wave made their own homes in Frostwolf Ridge.

Large tracts of wasteland have been reclaimed, and with the organic fertilizer prepared in advance, Frostwolf Ridge has become more vibrant.

Frostwolf Ridge has now regained all of its original territories, replaced the old officials, and formed a new land map for Frostwolf Ridge.

Frostwolf Ridge is located in the west of the northern part of the Silvermoon Kingdom.

Eagle Wing Fort is located at the easternmost end of Frostwolf Ridge, facing the threat from the north.

To the north, the land extends all the way to the Crystal Song Mountains, a restricted area that no one has ever set foot in.

To the west of Frostwolf Ridge is the Frostwolf Forest, which will be their next focus of development.

There are all kinds of treasures in the forest, such as timber, edible fungi, wild animals, medicinal materials, etc., which have great development value.

Especially with the presence of the gray wolf pack, the outskirts of the Frostwolf Forest have almost become the back garden of Frostwolf Ridge.

Ever since the Winter Moon ended, the sun has been shining brightly in the North.

By now, the road from Frostwolf Ridge to the outside world has basically returned to its original state, and David has become particularly concerned about the developments in the north.

The nobles of Ice Bear City and the North must have heard the news of his breakthrough against the Earth Knights, and they must also know that Frostwolf Ridge has recaptured the surrounding territory.

The northern nobles' goal of using the refugees to bring down Frostwolf Ridge has failed.

Even the red gloves raised by the Ice Bear Family and the assassination missions they issued had no effect on Frostwolf Ridge.

In this situation, if the Ice Bear Family wants to achieve their goal of occupying the North, they have no choice but to send troops directly.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, the Frostwolf Knights have entered the comprehensive rehearsal stage.

Especially the newly formed wolf cavalry, they need to strengthen their tacit understanding with the gray wolves, and specifically practice the wolf cavalry combat methods inherited from the Frostwolf family.

In addition, Cynthia was also working hard to tame the gray wolf she had just brought back.

At present, these gray wolves do not need to be trained to become mounts. They only need to obey commands and cooperate with the wolf cavalry in combat.

Although Cynthia could give commands through animal language without any pressure, the witch would definitely not be able to appear on the battlefield openly.

And when he actually encounters the Ice Bear Family's army, he will have to engage in a head-on battle with the Ice Bear Marquis, and these gray wolves can only be commanded by the Gray Wolf King.

So they needed to compile a set of instructions so that commanders could command the Gray Wolves to fight.

I believe that with these wolf cavalry and gray wolves, we can fully fight against the coalition formed by the Ice Bear Family and other nobles.

As long as he can successfully defeat the Ice Bear Marquis, he will be able to repel the Northern Coalition Forces.

Therefore, the key still lies in the battle between him and the two Earth Knights, Marquis Ice Bear. What he needs to do now is still to improve his own strength!
……

Behind the hills of Frostwolf Castle.

David is still working hard to train himself.

Now with the help of the fifth-level Frost Wolf Bloodline and the fourth-level Frost Wolf Secret Medicine, his strength has reached the peak of the fourth level without any obstacles! Not only him, but also Liya's strength is approaching the level of the second-level peak with the help of the Frost Wolf Secret Medicine, which also makes the effect of the two people's dual cultivation better and can bring more Frost Wolf Bloodline experience points to David.

It can be said that even without David's protection, Leah is already a capable Frost Wolf Knight!
In addition to Leah, Rena's current strength is also at the second level, and the materials for the Snow Demon Secret Medicine she needs for her cultivation have finally been collected. In addition, with David's special care during this period, Rena's strength has caught up.

[Snow Demon Soul: Level 4935 (5000/)]

This proud little princess is just like that, she doesn’t like to owe anything.

Therefore, as long as you can do something to move the little princess, it is easy to take the opportunity to make some somewhat excessive requests.

It was like this the previous times. This time, he helped Lena find the materials to prepare the Snow Demon's secret medicine, and the little princess did the same and did not refuse.

Of course, she did not reject it and was even a little happy about it, as it represented her status in the Duke's heart.

In addition, she had another doubt in her heart, that is, every time she was with the Duke, the snow demon blood in her body would become very active, as if it was activated by some force.

This, coupled with the fact that he suddenly broke through to the second level, made Lena wonder, could it be that the frost wolf bloodline in the Duke's body could resonate with the snow demon bloodline in her body, thereby strengthening each other?

No one could answer these questions for Reina yet.

As the snow demon's soul trembled suddenly, she felt that her mental power seemed to be strengthened again.

[You have completed a training session, Snow Demon Soul +102]

[Snow Demon Soul: Level 5037 (5000/)]

David exhaled a contented breath and held Reina in his arms.

During this period, he was indeed intentionally increasing the frequency of practice with Lena. The main purpose was naturally to upgrade the Snow Demon Soul to the fourth level as soon as possible.

This is also the biggest improvement he can get in a short period of time.

The strength of his mental power was already close to the peak of the second level, and after successfully obtaining the Snow Demon Secret Medicine, the strength of his mental power was successfully raised to the peak of the second level.

As long as the Snow Demon Soul is upgraded to the fourth level, through the mental feedback after the breakthrough, his mental strength will hopefully be able to break through to the third level!
"Rena."

David was delighted to see that the experience value of the Snow Demon Soul was full.

He couldn't help but kiss the person in his arms again.

"Your Majesty the Duke, I..."

Reina now had difficulty even moving a finger.

Although she was too proud to admit defeat, she obviously didn't have the strength to fight anymore.

"Don't move, I just want to hug you." David comforted softly.

Reina's body also relaxed a little bit, and she rubbed against it like a kitten, finally finding a comfortable position and burying her head in the warm embrace.
