The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 60 Witch Anne
Frostwolf Keep.

During this period, David practiced and developed his territory step by step.

Although this time he successfully eliminated the biggest threat, the Ice Bear Marquis.

But he has always known that the Ice Bear Family is just a chess piece in the Second Prince's fight for the North, and the Second Prince may support a new chess piece at any time.

Moreover, the North is so vast, and the power therein is not only that of the Second Prince, but also that of the First Prince and even that of the forces infiltrating from the neighboring Crystal Song Kingdom.

Even his father, a sixth-rank knight, could die so easily on the battlefield. His current strength is still far from that of his father.

Besides.

There are also threats from the church and the Duke of Icecrown that need to be guarded against.

What he needs to do now is to continue to improve his strength, continue to develop Frostwolf Ridge, respond to changes with the same attitude, and wait for the opponent to jump out on his own initiative.

This time, he used thundering means to kill the Ice Bear Marquis in order to establish his authority.

I believe that in the short term, no force will openly invade Frostwolf Ridge. This is a rare window of development for Frostwolf Ridge!

As time went by, nobles carrying ransom money came to Frostwolf Ridge one after another to redeem their own heads of houses and knights.

In addition to a portion of gold coins, the ransom also included a large number of serfs, livestock, weapons, food, and even... women.

Inside the city hall.

Reina is sorting out the nobles' ransom money.

"The wealth of the Ice Bear Family is truly terrifying." She suddenly said.

The Ice Bear Marquis had indeed accumulated a lot of wealth crazily during this period, but now it had all gone to Frostwolf Ridge.

Sure enough, plunder is the fastest way to accumulate wealth.

In addition to these treasures, they also unexpectedly saw a map.

The map actually recorded some of the Second Prince's forces in the North.

David was a little surprised.

It can be seen from the map that the Second Prince's infiltration into the North is already very strong.

The forces left by his father were eliminated by the second prince and other forces over the past period of time.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Reina looked at the map with a worried look on her face.

Since ancient times, participating in the fight for the throne has been the most dangerous thing. Countless families have ascended to the throne through this, and countless families have been destroyed because of it.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." David said.

He always knew the fight was never over.

The Frostwolf family has always been the representative of the traditional faction and once supported the eldest prince in the struggle for the royal family. This is also the reason why the second prince has always targeted the Frostwolf family.

Now, because the old king is still alive, the second prince is only controlling the pawns to suppress the Frostwolf family, but when the old king dies, there will definitely be a civil war in the Silvermoon Kingdom.

The Frostwolf family is likely to become the target of the second prince.

He even suspected that the second prince was behind his father's death.

Now, he inherited the powerful bloodline of the Frost Giant Wolf, which may even have the potential to break through to the seventh-level Sky Knight.

Plus the talent he showed at a young age.

He felt that if there was a chance to weaken or even destroy the Frostwolf Family, the Second Prince would definitely show no mercy.

Therefore, after the civil war broke out, only by dethroning the second prince could he save himself and the Frostwolf family in the civil war.

So, will the Frostwolf family still support the eldest prince?
In addition, the Silvermoon Guard, which has now taken over the northern fortress from the Frostwolf family, only obeys the king of the Silvermoon Kingdom.

This is a force that directly determines the situation in the North. It basically means that whoever becomes the king of the Silver Moon Kingdom can directly control everything in the North.

"We can do it." Reina's face also turned serious.

She thought of her own Kingdom of Crystalsong and how the situation of the Crystalsong royal family was similar to the current situation of the Frostwolf family.

But she was confident that she could change all this, with the man in front of her who had changed her life.

"Ah."

David nodded, a smile on his face.

He is a man with a golden finger, so he can do anything he wants! In addition, the search for wizards cannot stop. If he wants to become a powerful wizard, he must obtain the wizard's inheritance.

In a manor in Frostwolf Ridge.

The civilians and slaves brought from Ice Bear City are working.

To the nobles of this world, commoners and slaves were also part of their wealth.

After a busy period.

Anne returned to her own residence and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of her outstanding appearance, she was noticed by the steward of the manor, who planned to send her to the castle to be a maid.

Of course, in order to enter the castle, these maids must undergo strict review and receive corresponding skills training.

Anne was assigned a separate residence because she might become a castle maid next.

After entering the room, she went to the window and pulled the curtains, then moved a table to block the door.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly closed her eyes. A faint silver light flashed on her body, and gradually a silver magic circle was outlined.

Then she placed a black feather on the magic circle and began to chant an obscure spell.

Suddenly, the entire magic circle flashed with light, engulfing the black feather, and the next moment, a black sparrow appeared on the magic circle.

Choo Choo Choo--

The black sparrow chirped at Annie.

"Hello, Black Sparrow."

"I'll have to trouble you to deliver the letter next."

Anne greeted Black Sparrow.

Black Sparrow nodded, and Anne put a letter into the test tube and let Black Sparrow swallow it.

Just recently, she received news from Sister Rosa.

According to the letter, Duke Frostwolf actually took in a witch, which made her very confused.

It was at this time that Ice Bear City was breached, and Annie followed the civilians and serfs to Frostwolf Ridge.

This is indeed an opportunity to get closer to the Frostwolf Duke.

Whether it is for the possible wizard inheritance within the Frostwolf family, or to find out the purpose of the Frostwolf Duke's taking in witches.

Choo Choo Choo--

The black sparrow nodded, and then its figure suddenly turned into black mist and disappeared with a bang.

"I need to be careful to hide my identity from now on." Annie took a deep breath.

Now she was not sure why Duke Frostwolf wanted to take in the witch.

If she revealed her identity as a witch, how would the other party react?

Will he force her to stay, or let her go, or try to contact the wizarding organization behind the scenes through her?
She felt that the Duke of Frostwolf's goal was to enhance the strength of Frostwolf Ridge through the power of wizards in order to counter possible threats.

Even the fact that the Duke of Frostwolf was able to break through to the fourth-order knight level so quickly and possess the strength to kill the Marquis of Ice Bear might have been due to the power of the wizard.

And from the news she received, the situation in Frostwolf Ridge is still not going to get better.

In this case, the power of wizards can indeed change the crisis in Frostwolf Ridge.

But she still didn't plan to take any risks.

Watching the Black Sparrow disappear, Annie summoned other messenger pets.

There is a wizard organization behind her, and she is the liaison of this wizard organization.

Through her witch talent, she can control a large number of ordinary monsters to become her messenger pets.

Coupled with the summoning technique she mastered, she could summon these messenger pets anywhere to learn about the situation of her companions.

As the civil war in the Silvermoon Kingdom begins, the North is about to fall into chaos, and the witches must find a new way out.

In this way, time passed little by little.

David would never have imagined that the wizard he had been looking for was waiting for him in the manor.
