The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 118 opens, ice barrier!

Ouch——

Suddenly, the giant frost wolf opened its mouth.

I saw a huge amount of ice element energy being sucked into the mouth.

Then it turned into a breath of frost and gushed out directly towards the city wall!

The cold air bombarded the city wall, freezing it instantly.

And it continues to sweep in all directions, freezing everything that the cold air can touch!
"Block it!"

A group of Earth Knights mobilized their fighting spirit to form a barrier.

But after the fighting spirit barrier came into contact with the cold air, it also began to be frozen.

Fortunately, this frost breath was sprayed towards the city wall.

If it was sprayed towards them head-on, even a fourth-order Earth Knight would probably be directly frozen by this terrifying sixth-order icy breath!
After David launched an attack, he also felt the depletion of his mental energy.

Without much hesitation, he turned and left in the horrified gaze of everyone.

Only when the Frost Giant Wolf completely disappeared did the generals and soldiers in the northern fortress breathe a sigh of relief.

Although no one knew why the Frost Giant Wolf left, this sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf finally did not attack the northern fortress again.

At this time in the camp of the Frostwolf Alliance.

The nobles and soldiers were all awakened by the wolf's howling.

Afterwards, they all saw the giant frost wolf bathed in the moonlight. They were instantly shocked and their eyes widened in surprise.

They had always wondered why the sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf of the Frostwolf Family had not appeared on the battlefield, and now they finally saw this sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf.

This also further confirms the existence of the sixth-level frost giant wolf.

In addition, there is the Duke of Frostwolf, who is suspected to possess the strength of a sixth-level knight.

Everyone's confidence increased instantly. As long as there are two level six beings, the Frostwolf Alliance will surely win!
David found a place to hide underground, and after getting rid of his beastly state, he quietly returned to his camp.

At this time, outside the camp, the Gray Wolf Knight was already waiting at the door, but he did not rush into the room to look for the lord.

"Uncle Ole," David said calmly as he opened the door.

The Gray Wolf Knight nodded, resisted the urge to look into the room, and then repeated the story of the appearance of the Giant Frost Wolf.

"Yes, I asked the Giant Frost Wolf to do it."

"Send a messenger to deliver a letter for me tomorrow morning."

David explained the situation with a smile, and then went to various parts of the camp.

This is a good opportunity to boost the morale of the coalition forces and must not be wasted.

This night.

The northern fortresses were all in a state of intense alert.

Early the next morning, messengers sent by David arrived at the fortress.

Upon seeing this, the northern fortress also sent envoys to negotiate.

David made a direct suggestion.

That is to determine the ownership of the northern fortress through a glorious duel.

The winning party can take over this northern fortress and continue to assume the responsibility of guarding the north.

After hearing this suggestion.

The commander of the northern fortress immediately summoned all the generals of the northern fortress to discuss the matter.

They were worried too.

If the North Fortress and Frostwolf Ridge were to fight, the strength of both sides would be weakened, which would give the Crystalsong Kingdom an opportunity.

Duke Frostwolf also mentioned this in his letter.

That's why a fair and honorable duel was proposed, and the letter mentioned that the Duke of Frostwolf would fight fairly alone and would not send out the sixth-level giant frost wolf.

This is indeed an effective method for the northern fortress.

The sixth-level frost giant wolf from last night.

This should be the intimidation that Duke Frostwolf made in order to make them agree to an honor duel.

If the Frostwolf Alliance really sent out a sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf, plus the Frostwolf Duke and so many knights.

Even if the northern fortress can finally rely on the barrier to resist, it will definitely suffer heavy losses and lose the power to protect the north.

"I agree to this honorable duel."

"I agree."

"He is the Duke of Frostwolf after all. I believe in his promise."

There were generals on the field who kept agreeing.

Most of these generals have fought alongside the old Duke of Frostwolf.

There is no objection to letting the Frostwolf family take over the northern fortress again.

"I decline the offer."

"Don't forget that Duke Frostwolf's actions are a provocation to His Majesty."

"If he is loyal to the Silver Moon Kingdom, he should gather his troops to help Your Majesty attack the southern border instead of attacking the northern fortress."

Naturally, there were many generals in the field who stood on the side of the royal family.

Of course, most of these people were generals who had just been sent to the northern fortress.

"The duty of the Northern Fortress is to protect the border of the Silver Moon Kingdom and protect the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom from being burned, killed and looted in the Far North."

"Do you think it's worth paying such a huge price to stop the Frostwolf Alliance?"

"The people who will be hurt will still be ordinary civilians."

The two sides immediately started a heated argument.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the silent fortress commander, waiting for his decision.

"I agree to the honor duel."

The fortress commander spoke in a deep voice under the gaze of everyone.

Although Duke Frostwolf is suspected to be a sixth-level knight.

But considering the opponent's age, even if he is a genius, he must have barely reached the sixth level of strength.

In this case, although he is a fifth-level peak knight.

However, with the help of the power of the barrier, his strength is not weak among the sixth-level ones.

If we really engage in an honor duel, facing the Frostwolf Duke alone.

He still has a good chance of winning, and perhaps he can use this to repel the Frostwolf Alliance!

And if he really loses, then what if he returns the northern fortress to the stronger Duke Frostwolf?

He believed that with the Duke of Frostwolf stationed in the northern fortress, it would be impossible for the Crystalsong Kingdom to ever set foot into the Silvermoon Kingdom again.

He can accept it as well.

Just as David and Reina expected.

The fortress commander behaved more like a qualified leader.

Know when to insist and when to compromise.

The other party itself is unwilling to participate in the Silver Moon Civil War and only wants to defend the northern fortress.

In this case, as long as David provides a method to peacefully resolve the dispute and makes the other party feel that there is a great chance of winning, the other party will definitely agree.

Those generals who supported the honor duel breathed a sigh of relief, while those who supported the second prince looked slightly gloomy.

After the death of the old duke, the Frostwolf family immediately dropped everything and hastily evacuated the northern fortress.

Although it seemed that they evacuated on their own, there was naturally their secret oppression behind them.

After the Frostwolf Family left, most of the wealth fell into their hands. Naturally, they did not want the Frostwolf Family to return to the Northern Fortress.

But now the command of the northern fortress and the power of the barrier are in the hands of the fortress commander. Faced with the decision of the fortress commander, they have no way to refuse.

……

The Frostwolf Alliance has also been immersed in the excitement of the appearance of the sixth-level Frost Giant Wolf.

But they were very confused as to why the Frost Wolf left again.

It was not until the news that both sides decided to have an honor duel did these nobles react.

It turns out that this is Duke Frostwolf’s purpose!

Immediately, they became excited again.

If the ownership of the northern fortress could be decided by an honor duel, they wouldn't have to go to the battlefield.

This is definitely the best outcome for them.

But they couldn't help but worry, can Duke Frostwolf really win?
Inside the tent.

David also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

He had just received news from various places through messengers.

The battle in the southern border was still going on, from which he could judge how powerful the fortress barrier was.

It would be fine if he really had two level six fighters.

But he was the only one who knew that he was the one who transformed the sixth-level giant frost wolf.

Relying solely on one's own strength.

He really didn't have the confidence to break through the northern fortress protected by the fortress barrier by relying solely on the power of the knights.

If you borrow the power of a wizard, you can succeed.

But there will always be clues left behind, which may lead to the church being attacked, and it will be troublesome to deal with.

The Glory Duel was the best solution he and Reina had discussed.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with their judgment. The fortress commander is indeed a man worthy of admiration.

Overall, the fortress commander suffered the loss.

Soon, the honor duel was decided.

The next morning.

David and the fortress commander both appeared in front of the battle.

Afterwards, both sides walked towards the duel arena in the center of the battlefield alone.

This place is very far away from the armies of both sides.

It can ensure that both parties will not be affected by external forces during the battle and can duel fairly.

"I didn't expect that the little guy would grow up so fast."

The fortress commander comes from the Twilight Turtle family and possesses the blood of the Ice and Snow Turtle.

Bloodline can determine the character of its owner to a certain extent.

The fortress commander looked like a calm and steady type.

The two sides had just met and the other side showed no hostility.

Instead, he started chatting with him, which brought a smile to David's face.

"Thanks to the backup plans my father left behind."

"Now, I am a sixth-rank knight. I think I can take over the northern fortress again and continue to shoulder the responsibility of the Frostwolf family to protect the north."

David smiled slightly.

Directly define this matter as retaking over, rather than conquering.

The fortress commander nodded slightly, "Then let's get started."

After he finished speaking, his eyes instantly became sharp.

Powerful blood and energy surged in his body, and his fighting spirit condensed into a tortoise-shell-like defense around his body.

David held the sword with one hand. Since the opponent was mainly defensive, he would focus on attack!
"Be careful."

He gave a reminder and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Extraordinary speed.

This is the power of the seventh level.

Although it is just an ability that comes with blood, the speed has still reached an incredible level.

In just a flash, he appeared in front of the fortress commander.

So fast!

The fortress commander was startled and immediately defended with all his might.

boom!
David punched out, and the air made a loud bang.

The fist hit the Dou Qi turtle shell.

The terrifying power contained in the sixth-level physical fitness burst out directly, and the terrifying power swept like a shock wave!
The fortress commander only felt his body sink.

It was as if his feet were bearing a huge force of a thousand pounds, and they sank directly into the ground.

Click click click——

A series of shattering sounds suddenly rang out.

His fighting spirit tortoise shell began to break under the opponent's fist!
"Level 6, this is indeed Level 6!"

"Moreover, Duke Frostwolf hasn't used his fighting spirit yet. He was able to break through my fighting spirit tortoise shell defense just by relying on his physical fitness!"

The fortress commander took the punch head-on.

Looking at the tortoise shell that was beginning to break, his pupils shrank and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

He originally wanted to rely on his invincible defense at the same level, but he didn't expect that the opponent's fist was much harder than he imagined.

Boom boom boom——

David won't hold back at all.

Although he didn't use his fighting spirit, with his speed, he was able to throw out more than ten punches in an instant. Relying on his sixth-level physical fitness, the power would definitely not be weak!
The commander determined that if he continued he would be defeated by the opponent's fist, so he took out a blue crystal ball and began to communicate with the barrier.

This is the key to the northern fortress barrier.

It can mobilize the power of ice elements underground in the northern fortress.

And this is also the symbol of the commander of the northern fortress.

Click click click——

In an instant, huge amounts of ice elements gathered together and turned into terrifying ice.

David faced this icy force head-on.

Although he was an ice wizard, he still chose to retreat and wait for the ice element's ice storm to disappear.

The fortress commander was enveloped in an ice storm, his aura rising as he was constantly blessed by the barrier.

It was not until he broke through the limit of the fifth level that the speed at which his aura increased slowed down, allowing him to completely step into the sixth level!
After the ice storm disappeared, a large amount of ice crystals appeared on the fortress commander's body, and a layer of ice armor appeared outside the fighting spirit tortoise shell!
This is directly pushing your own defense to the maximum.

David was silent for a moment, then rushed forward again.

Continuous fists hit the ice armor continuously, directly shattering it.

But this ice armor is blessed with a huge amount of ice element energy. Even if it is shattered, it can be quickly restored instantly, making it difficult for him to break through!
At this time, both sides on the battlefield were also paying attention to this glorious duel.

On the Frostwolf Alliance side, everyone was certain when they saw the Frostwolf Duke suddenly burst out with speed and strength that was enough to shatter a turtle shell.

Meanwhile, the people in the Northern Fortress couldn't help but tremble in their hearts after confirming that Duke Frostwolf indeed possessed sixth-level power.

Originally it was just a guess that they could still suggest to themselves that Duke Frostwolf was not that strong.

But after seeing the strength of the Duke of Frostwolf, they found it completely hard to accept and felt it was unbelievable.

There is only one 20-year-old sixth-level knight in the history of Silvermoon Kingdom, Duke Frostwolf, right?

In comparison, Prince Silver Moon Star is really far behind.

This made them unable to help but worry. Would the Commander be defeated?
Fortunately, the fortress commander used the power of the fortress barrier to stabilize the situation, which made them all feel relieved.

The battle has just begun!
"Ice fighting spirit!"

David also started to use his fighting spirit.

The heart of ice element brought about by his extraordinary ice element talent was activated, and the power of ice began to flow through his body like blood.

In the end, this icy energy and the energy contained in the Frost Giant Wolf's bloodline were integrated into the fighting spirit, and the two merged into icy fighting spirit!

blah-

David raised his hands high, and the icy fighting spirit gathered in his hands.

A terrifying chill continued to emanate from his hands.

Then the icy fighting spirit gathered and turned into an ice sword!
David held up the Ice Sword high, and surrounded by the cold air, he was like the Ice King holding up the Ice Judgment Sword, with a powerful aura sweeping in all directions!
"Duel spirit materialized?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

For these ordinary knights, it is completely difficult to judge the difference between ice fighting qi and solid fighting qi.

However, in terms of power, the two are indeed almost the same.

Even with the blessing of the seventh-level Frost Giant Wolf bloodline and extraordinary ice element talent, the strength of the ice fighting spirit is even greater than that of ordinary materialized fighting spirit!
"Sixth level of fighting spirit!"

The fortress commander's perception was even more obvious.

Facing this sword, he did not dare to be careless at all and used all his strength to activate the barrier.

The next moment, the power of the ice barrier was activated, and a large amount of ice element energy gathered and rushed towards David, turning into ice to imprison him.

But he didn't realize that David was a fifth-level ice wizard.

Relying on his extraordinary talent for ice element, his control over ice power is even better than that of a sixth-order ice knight. Even his ice barrier is not as good as his!

"Ice Control!"

David began to control the ice element by relying on his extraordinary ice element talent.

These talents are not actual spells.

Especially with the power of the Frost Giant Wolf bloodline, even the church would not be able to recognize his identity as a wizard.

The ice shackles on his body shattered instantly.

Then, a suction force suddenly came from the ice sword in his hand, and it began to continuously absorb the power of the ice element, enhancing its own power.

"How can this be?!"

"Why are you able to borrow the power of the ice barrier!?"

When the fortress commander saw that David was constantly plundering the ice element energy contained in the ice barrier, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked incredulous.

"The ice barrier originally belonged to our Frostwolf family!"

David didn't answer directly, but a playful expression appeared on his face.

The next moment, he raised high the ice sword that was already dozens of meters long, and slashed at the commander who was wearing ice armor and fighting spirit tortoise shell!
boom!
The ice sword slashed on the shield.

After a brief stalemate, the sword slowly pressed down.

The ice armor immediately made a buzzing sound as if it could not bear the heavy weight.

Originally, the power of the Ice Sword was enough to break the Ice Armor.

Now the Ice Sword has also absorbed the power of the barrier, and it can destroy everything in its path with one sword!
The ice armor was shattered, and the fighting spirit tortoise armor was even more vulnerable.

Finally, the Ice Sword hit the barrier shield emanating from the Ice Barrier Key. When the two collided, the shield trembled suddenly.

"I want to see how long the barrier can last."

David raised his sword and slashed it hard again, causing cracks to appear on the shield.

By the time he raised his sword to strike again, the fortress commander's face was already full of helplessness.

The power of the ice barrier was actually ineffective against the opponent. As a fifth-level peak knight, he no longer had any means to fight back.

Next, even if the barrier shield can still withstand the attack.

But it can only prolong its life and will also waste the ice energy contained in the ice barrier.

Although he was unwilling, he still made the wisest choice, "Stop, I lost this battle."

Hearing his words, the ice sword in David's hand paused in the air.

"Give me the key to the ice barrier."

David said in a deep voice that as long as they controlled the ice barrier, they would control the northern fortress.

At this time, the generals in the northern fortress finally reacted.

Some of the generals had complicated expressions, as they thought the commander would be defeated.

But I didn't expect to be defeated so thoroughly. The gap in strength between the two sides was really too big.

The expressions of other generals changed drastically and they could not accept this result at all.

"Send out troops, we must send out troops quickly, we must not let the key to the ice barrier fall into the hands of the Duke of Frostwolf." The faces of these generals were distorted.

"send troops?"

"The sixth-order giant frost wolf of the Frostwolf family has not yet made a move."

A general sneered, "Besides, this is an honor duel."

That's right, this is the most sacred and glorious duel between knights.

Although the chaotic order of the kingdom has caused many knights to abandon the chivalrous code.

But there are still many knights who strictly abide by it, this is their belief.

On the other side, the nobles of the Frostwolf Alliance were excited.

As long as Duke Frostwolf gets the key to the ice barrier, everything will be over.

"This is what you deserve."

The fortress commander sighed and removed the barrier shield.

Now, all we have to do is for the ice sword hanging high in the sky to fall.

It can directly end the life of this fifth-level peak earth knight.

David nodded.

He simply used the Ice Sword to pick up the Ice Orb, brought it back to his side, and held it in his hand.

He had no intention of taking the fortress commander's life.

Although the fortress commander was defeated, he preserved the power of the North Fortress and Frostwolf Ridge, allowing the North Fortress to continue to protect the North, which is admirable.

If the fortress commander is still willing to guard the northern fortress, it would be fine to let him guard this place.

Of course, he would definitely hold the key to the fortress barrier in his hand. As long as he holds the key to the barrier, he can control the fortress!

His eyes fell on the key to the fortress's barrier.

Suddenly I felt a sense of familiarity, and when I probed my mental power into it, I was instantly accepted.

"Is this... the spiritual mark of the ancestors of the Frostwolf family?"

David's heart moved. The Frostwolf family had guarded the northern fortress for generations.

This key has already been marked with the mark of the Frostwolf family.

Seeing this scene, the fortress commander sighed again in his heart.

It seems that the Northern Fortress originally belonged to the Frostwolf family, and he has finally returned it to its original owner.

"I hope you can keep your promise and protect the northern fortress."

His tone suddenly became relaxed.

If we ignore the family and the royal family, leaving the northern fortress to the Frostwolf family to guard is indeed the best outcome.

The Frostwolf Duke, who is a sixth-rank knight, holds the fortress barrier.

Add to that a sixth-level giant frost wolf, even if the Crystal Song Kingdom uses all its national strength.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture the northern fortress easily, and the Duke of Frostwolf is really too young!

In this way, within a hundred years, the northern part of the Silver Moon Kingdom will be safe.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect the northern fortress."

David had a confident smile on his face, more than just guarding.

He also wanted to use the northern fortress as a starting point to help Lena take back the Crystal Song Kingdom.

"Also, the generals in the northern fortress." The commander hesitated.

David said calmly: "I will take revenge if I have a grudge. I won't kill one more person."

The commander opened his mouth.

As for what happened back then, he naturally knew the inside story.

The Frostwolves hurriedly fled the North Keep.

Except for a few knights and attendants, nothing was really taken away. There must be some forces involved behind this.

Now, the Frostwolf Duke has returned to the North Keep.

Although he didn't want the generals in the northern fortress to suffer too many casualties.

But he also knew that he could not stop the Frostwolf Duke from taking revenge.

Now I just hope that Duke Frostwolf will be gentler and not kill too many people.

David narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.

He looked towards the direction of the northern fortress and activated the ice orb in his hand, causing the barrier to slowly disappear.

On the city wall, some generals saw that Duke Frostwolf had already taken command of the fortress. They looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and accepted everything.

There are even some generals who are close to the Frostwolf family.

The process of opening the city gate has already begun, intending to welcome the new owner of the North Fortress into the North Fortress.

Those generals who secretly participated in the division of the Frostwolf family's power have begun to retreat, intending to find an opportunity to escape from the northern fortress.

The generals in the northern fortress all began to act due to their different positions.

At the same time, the Frostwolf Alliance also began to move.

David led the Frostwolf Alliance and, with the help of some generals from the Northern Fortress, directly entered the Northern Fortress.

The Frostwolf Alliance also quickly took over some of the defenses of the northern fortress, but now is not the time to relax our vigilance.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke."

Soon, all the nobles in the city were gathered together by him.

Most of the nobles expressed their allegiance on the spot.

Their families and forces are all in the northern fortress, and at this time they can only express their loyalty.

David accepted the allegiance of some of these nobles.

But he would not easily accept those nobles who had been blacklisted by the Grey Wolf Knight.

Now is the time to take revenge and complain.

He reported a series of names of nobles on the spot, and then took the wolf cavalry to capture these nobles.

He showed no mercy to the nobles who dared to resist, and sentenced them to death with a single blow of his sword.

"Duke Frostwolf, I hate you so much!"

"I should have killed you directly at the beginning and completely wiped out the Frostwolf Family from this world." Some nobles who knew they could not escape kept shouting.

Even before their death, they could not understand why the young master of the Frostwolf family had not even activated his Frostwolf bloodline.

How on earth did he manage to raise his strength to the sixth-rank Earth Knight and become a top-level warrior in such a short time?

The other nobles also reacted and looked at Duke Frostwolf, feeling a chill in their hearts.

Duke Frostwolf's forbearance is truly terrifying.

Now that I think about it, Duke Frostwolf must be hiding his strength.

A descendant of the Frostwolf family whose bloodline has not even been activated does not pose any threat at all. As long as a period of time passes, he will naturally die out.

At a time like this, no one would think of taking action against the Frostwolf family, which has nothing.

After all, there aren't many benefits, and you may even end up with unnecessary criticism.

If these forces knew that Duke Frostwolf had already activated his bloodline power.

Moreover, his talent is far greater than that of the old duke, and he will probably take action at the first opportunity.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

The victor takes it all, and since they have lost, they must naturally bear the corresponding consequences.

And David obviously learned from his own lesson.

There was no mercy for these nobles, they were wiped out completely.

For several days in a row, the northern fortress was flooded with blood.

Fortunately, David was relatively restrained and did not kill all the nobles.

As for those nobles who had never targeted the Frostwolf family but only occupied their assets, they were forced to pay a heavy fine.

After he dealt with these forces in the Northern Fortress, the Northern Fortress finally achieved stability.

The next step is naturally the arrangement of the northern fortress.

David did not intend to make any further moves on the generals who were originally guarding the fortress.

In addition to replacing the generals who were cleared out with some nobles loyal to the Frostwolf family.

He didn't even plan to move the fortress commander.

"Your Excellency the Duke, don't you plan to garrison the northern fortress?" Marquis Kearney asked in confusion.

David nodded when he heard this.

But there are still his wife and witches in Frostwolf Ridge.

Moreover, compared to the northern fortress, Frostwolf Ridge is obviously more secretive and suitable for witches to hide.

Besides, the power of the northern fortress was too complicated, and he didn't want to focus his energy on dealing with these nobles.

Now, he has eliminated the hostile forces of the Frostwolf family in the northern fortress.

With the key to the northern fortress barrier in hand, no one in the northern fortress can cause any trouble.

Moreover, Frostwolf Ridge is not far from the Northern Fortress. If he rides the Nether Wolf at full speed, he can reach the Northern Fortress in half a day.

With him as the nominal commander of the Northern Fortress, the strength of the Northern Fortress is much stronger than before.

Hearing the Frostwolf Duke's resolute attitude, Kornai knew that it was useless to persuade him any further.

Moreover, both other nobles in the northern fortress and his own family hoped that he could continue to serve as the commander of the fortress.

"I will help His Excellency the Duke continue to guard the northern fortress." Marquis Kearney said in a deep voice.

David nodded. He would also leave some officials to assist Kearney in managing the northern fortress, which of course also meant surveillance.

In addition, Annie will deploy secret spies in the Northern Fortress, and with the presence of messengers, he can know what is happening in the Northern Fortress at any time.

After arranging all these miscellaneous matters, David breathed a sigh of relief.

The northern fortress is now considered his territory.

The tax revenue and other benefits that can be provided each year are still very considerable.

With the support of these huge resources, his future wizard training will be smoother.

After sorting out everything, David finally had time to take out the ice orb that could control the ice barrier and looked at it carefully.

In itself, this ice orb is an ice-attribute weapon that can directly enhance the power of the ice wizard's ice-attribute spells.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Ice Orb can control the ice barrier.

The place where David was staying at this time was naturally the former residence of the Frostwolf family, which was also the home of the fortress commander.

During this period, the Ice and Snow Turtle family had already begun to move out, so David naturally had to take back the Frostwolf family's mansion.

His figure soon arrived at the study in the castle.

The furnishings in the study had not changed much from before he left.

He was quite satisfied with the way the Ice and Snow Turtle Family handled the matter.

This was also the main reason why he chose to let the Ice and Snow Twilight Turtle Family continue to manage the northern fortress.

Of course, David wasn't here for nostalgia.

The entrance to the ice barrier is hidden in this study.

David opened the secret passage skillfully and walked down the stairs until he came to an iron gate.

Then he took out a golden key passed down from the ancestors of the Frostwolf family from his arms and opened the iron gate.

The iron gate is very thick, and is engraved with runes that can shield energy, thus isolating the energy within the barrier.

As the long-sealed iron door opened.

A terrifying chill instantly emanated, and the rich ice element seemed to freeze the entire secret room.

Seeing this, David directly controlled the cold air and trapped it inside the door.

Afterwards, he stepped directly into the barrier and came directly to a snowy cave.

The entire space is surrounded by ice as hard as steel, and in the center of the cave is a complex, mysterious and huge magic circle.

This magic circle is the source of power for the entire barrier.

It has the power to continuously condense ice element energy and transform it into a barrier.

The ice orb in David's hand is the key to controlling this barrier formation.

"Such a rich ice element energy."

David closed his eyes and felt it for a while, feeling a little surprised.

Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Frost Crystal Meditation Method.

As his extraordinary ice element talent was activated, large amounts of ice element energy were continuously absorbed by him.

Although it was expected.

But he was still a little surprised when he really felt that his fifth-level mental power had been visibly strengthened.

This place is definitely a paradise for ice wizards to practice, and it can actually enhance the effect of meditation by dozens of times.

The effect of just one session of practice is already comparable to that of the previous few days.

He felt that if he could practice here for a day, the effect would definitely not be worse than absorbing an ice gem!
For him, the current ice barrier is also a very important trump card that can be used to enhance his strength.

As long as he activated the ice barrier to protect himself, he was confident that he could fight even if he faced multiple level six knights at the same time.

"We could ask Amy to come over." David had an idea.

Amy is only a fourth-level ice wizard now, and the effect of her training is definitely much more obvious than his!

Now, his talent for ice element has reached extraordinary level. If he wants to continue to advance, he will need one million experience points. Now Amy’s strength is a little weak.

David finished his training, stood up, and walked towards the corner of the ice cave.

Through the ice, he could see that there were quite a few wooden boxes inside.

These were naturally the treasures that the Frostwolf Clan did not have time to take away when they evacuated in a hurry.

But after so much time had passed, the boxes were also frozen in the ice.

In addition, there are some treasures left by other patriarchs of the Frostwolf family.

In the past, David had not been able to take all of these things out.

But now he is an ice wizard, so it is not difficult for him to take these things out.

He did not touch the treasure chest he had placed here.

These are just some mundane things. What are truly valuable are naturally the treasure chests left by our ancestors.

He approached the frozen wooden boxes cautiously. Relying on his ice element talent, he could easily control the ice elements around him.

He began to wrap the box with pure ice elemental energy, gently melting the ice so as not to damage the items inside the box.

As the ice shell gradually peeled off, the true appearance of the box gradually emerged, and the ancient wood and exquisite carvings revealed their age.

(End of this chapter)
