The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 279 Breakthrough, Five-ring Talent Mark!
David leads the witches back to the castle.

Huo Wu had already prepared a sumptuous celebration banquet.

David's eyes fell on Huo Wu and a smile appeared on his face.

Huo Wu and Shui Lian also have the special power of telepathy, which allows them to influence each other.

As Shui Lian raised her strength to the fourth ring, Huo Wu's strength was also successfully raised to the fourth ring.

Buy one get two free, this is a big profit.

"Congratulations to Shuilian and Sister Cynthia." Leah said with a smile.

Now among them, except Reina, three witches have successfully broken through to the fourth ring.

Although she was not the one who made the breakthrough, Leah, the eldest sister, still felt sincerely happy.

The witch's successful breakthrough to the fourth ring means that Master David has cleared the obstacles to breaking through to the fifth ring wizard.

After the celebration banquet in the evening, David couldn't wait to practice and improve his strength.

In the kitchen, Huo Wu and Shui Lian were tidying up.

David went straight over and hugged the two witches in maid uniforms in his arms.

He leaned closer and whispered, "Do you need help?"

Huo Wu turned around with a bright smile on her face: "Master, you are finally back!"

"We have prepared many delicious dishes and even made two main courses especially for you."

"You're always so sweet!"

David responded with a smile, and turned his gaze to Shui Lian who was sorting the seasonings beside him.

She was still as gentle as ever, but today her face looked especially bright.

At this time, Huo Wu came over and asked in a naughty and playful tone, "Which main dish would you like to taste first, Master?"

David chuckled, "Of course together."

He couldn't help but pull the two of them into his arms, hugging them tightly while rubbing his hands slowly.

Surrounded by his warmth, the two witches couldn't help but nod their heads, with a blush on their cheeks.

Even though they had broken through to the fourth ring, they could still feel a sense of security and strength emanating from David, which made them feel at ease.

At this moment, Huo Wu mischievously pushed open a small table beside her and suddenly sat on it.

David smiled slightly, and hugged Shuilian as well, letting the two sisters lie side by side, and his figure slowly moved forward.

The atmosphere in the kitchen became more and more lively, and various delicious dishes were gradually placed on the table. The mouth-watering colors and aromas made everyone look forward to the feast.

As they began to taste the delicious food, David stood at the table and shared the sumptuous meal, with laughter and joy all around.

In this relaxed and joyful atmosphere, it is not only to celebrate the breakthrough, but also to deepen the bond between each other and enhance the strength of both sides.

David's ears were constantly filled with feedback from the system, which constantly strengthened his fire element mark and water element mark.

After dinner, they gathered together to talk about their new ideas and goals for future cultivation. Everyone was full of fighting spirit and expectations.

In this cozy little kitchen, even though the ocean outside is still turbulent, they can be carefree and enjoy their own little world.

"You guys are really stealing food here."

At this moment, the little loli Cynthia suddenly came up.

She knew that the Duke would definitely come to see her tonight, but she waited and waited in vain.

Sure enough, after finding the kitchen, she discovered that the Duke was eating secretly here with two maids.

David was enjoying a sumptuous dinner with Huo Wu and Shui Lian. The warm atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy. Suddenly, the voice of little Lolita Cynthia broke the warmth.

Cynthia stood at the door with a puffy face, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes, but she couldn't hide her lovely childishness.

She had two little braids and a pink dress that made her look like a cute elf.

"Oh, Cynthia." David turned around with a smile, "You're here! We're getting ready to celebrate, come join us."

"I don't want to, you don't care about me! I want to do it with the master!"

Cynthia pouted and waved her little fists vigorously, as if to express her protest in this way.

David noticed her little emotion and couldn't help but feel pity for her.

He walked forward and picked up Cynthia.

"Okay, okay, I promise, we'll go together. After we're done here, we'll find a place just the two of us!"

"Really?" Cynthia's eyes lit up instantly, and the haze on her face was swept away. "Great, I will teach the master how to do it!"

"Okay, then you teach me." David responded with a smile.

He knew that this little Loli really wanted to be valued and hoped to show her abilities.

"But you have to eat something first, so you can have strength."

So, amid everyone's laughter, the little girl obediently got off his shoulder and was busy trying the food while looking forward to her little appointment with David.

The kitchen was still bustling, and when this was finished, he took Cynthia's hand.

"Let's go over there." David pointed to an open space in the castle courtyard. The air there was fresh and quiet, very suitable for practice and relaxation.

He gently led Cynthia by the hand, and as they walked through the courtyard, she almost jumped up with excitement, "Master, you will definitely like my moves!"

Finally they reached an open space and sat down side by side.

The morning breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness to the air.

David sat down cross-legged and looked at the little Loli in front of him, "So, where do we start?"

So Cynthia raised her head and said confidently, "First, let's do the 'Tree Pose'! You must be steady!"

After saying that, she tried hard to strike a pose and keep her balance on the grass. Although she wobbled occasionally, her concentration and seriousness made people laugh.

Looking at this scene, David couldn't help laughing and hugged the little guy in his arms.

As time went on, they kept trying, each time with laughter.

Finally, as night fell, they lay on the lawn tired but happy, watching the twinkling stars and having never felt such a wonderful time.

In this little world that belongs to them, even if the outside world is complicated and turbulent, such a simple yet fulfilling moment is enough to become a precious memory in each other's lives.

Wait until you return to the room.

Huo Wu and Shui Lian have already packed up.

Cynthia felt a little embarrassed. She had indeed been a little willful just now. She looked at the two and said, "Sister Huowu, Sister Shuilian, let's serve the Duke together."

David smiled slightly when he saw this, "Now that you have rested enough, we should continue to practice."

In order to upgrade his talent mark to the fifth ring as quickly as possible, David had to spend a lot of time every day practicing with the three witches.

With the continuous feedback from the system, the experience bar of the talent mark continues to increase.

Now the strength of the three witches is four rings, which is enough to upgrade his talent mark to five rings.

Finally, after a period of time, his fire element mark, water element mark and beast mark all successfully broke through to the fifth ring.

And with the improvement of the three talent marks, his mental power suddenly increased a lot, from the middle fourth ring to the late fourth ring.

If he could upgrade other talent marks to the fifth ring, he could completely use it to upgrade his wizard level to the fifth ring.

Unfortunately, there has been no fourth-ring female wizard to help him practice the source of magic power so far. Otherwise, if the source of magic power is upgraded to the fifth ring, he can directly become a fifth-ring wizard.

This also made David turn his attention to the wizarding world again.

Next, whether it is to find a fourth-ring female wizard or to continue helping witches break through the fourth ring and find more resources, they have to go to the wizarding world.

David then went to the headquarters of the Wizarding Union of the Alien Continent.

During this period, in addition to inquiring about the news in the wizarding world, he also asked people to investigate the icy power at the end of the Endless Sea.

He had some guesses in his mind that the threat of the Ice Hell might be increasing.

And in recent explorations of the Endless Sea, there seem to be signs that a new passage leading to the icy hell is quietly opening.

"Isabelle, how is the investigation of the Endless Sea going?"

"If the Frozen Hell really opens a portal at the end of the Endless Sea, we must take precautions to prevent their legions from entering our world through this passage."

"I have the same concern." Isabel frowned.

"The information we received shows that some expedition teams have discovered unusual cold currents and undead auras in a certain area of ​​the Endless Sea. They seem to be directly related to the Frozen Hell."

"Immediately send an elite team to that area to investigate the situation!"

David instructed, "We must confirm whether this passage really exists and assess the number and strength of the enemies there."

"I will arrange personnel and contact the Wizarding Alliance in other regions to seek support." Isabel responded quickly and began to prepare for the relevant work.

Soon after, a team of wizards and aliens was sent to the Endless Sea.

David stayed in the castle and continued to monitor the development of the situation.

He knew that, both from intelligence and actual combat, the war between the wizarding world and Hell had entered a critical moment.

A few days later, the team sent back first-hand intelligence, "We found a huge ice crack, it is located at the deepest part of the Endless Sea."

"It's just that we can't confirm whether this place is related to the Ice Hell for now."

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

Since he had ruled out the possibility that this place had nothing to do with the Ice Hell, he naturally planned to go and explore it.

He already has the strength of five rings. In the environment of the Endless Sea, relying on the blood of the Sea God, he is not afraid of even the six rings.

In today's wizarding world, the strongest is only a wizard at the peak of the sixth ring. I don't know if it's due to restrictions, but no wizard can break through to the seventh ring.

Since this time they are going to the end of the Endless Sea, the icy land and the icy sea below, David plans to bring Amy and Lena, two women with ice powers.

David decided to take Amy and Lena to the frozen crack in the Endless Sea and use their ice power to assist in the exploration.

He believed that in this cold and mysterious place, having control over the power of ice would keep them safer.

"Amy, Reina, are you ready?"

David asked before setting off, and the two female wizards nodded, their eyes flashing with expectation and determination.

"We will do our best and not let you down."

Amy smiled slightly, and a faint chill emanated from her body, showing her control over the ice element.

Reina's face was calm, "With you here, there's nothing to worry about."

After confirming that they were fully equipped, the three of them boarded a small boat provided by the Wizarding Union and headed towards the depths of the Endless Sea.

As they crossed the vast ocean, they were accompanied by rough waves and howling winds.

As the ship approached the legendary ice crack, they could feel the temperature in the air suddenly drop, and a biting cold seemed to surround them.

David uses Poseidon's blood to sense the surrounding environment
As they got closer to the crack, they could clearly see the huge icy crack, the edge of which was flickering with a faint blue light, emitting a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.

“This is the location we found.”

Amy said softly. She stretched out her hand and a cold light instantly condensed in her palm. "I can feel a strong icy energy here."

"It's here. This ice rift leads directly to the depths of the sea." David said.

Last time, he explored beyond the ice rift, and the ice power contained therein was indeed terrifying.

If he had possessed the mark of the ice element, he would have felt the horror of the icy power.

David, Amy, and Reina stopped at the edge of the frozen crack and stared into the deep crack.

The faint blue light is like the stars in the abyss, emitting a creepy aura.

The two witches felt the fluctuations of the icy power around them, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"We need to be careful." David reminded. He silently used the blood of Poseidon in his heart, trying to sense the hidden dangers around him.

He knew clearly that this area was not simple, not only because of the ice crack itself, but also because of the terrifying energy fluctuations that were faintly coming from it.

As they gradually approached the crack, the temperature around them continued to drop, and the biting cold seemed to penetrate into their bones.

Amy closed her eyes slightly, using the mark of the ice element to feel the power of ice with her heart, while Lena tightly grasped the ice sword, and the soul of the snow demon surged.

The terrifying power of ice permeated the air.

But the three of them possess the strongest power and are not afraid of this icy power.

The next moment, they all entered the ice rift. The deeper they went into the rift, the more terrifying the ice power contained in it became.

As the three of them went deeper into the ice rift, the cold air around them became increasingly intense, as if the entire space was shrouded in an icy force.

David, Amy and Lena moved forward cautiously. The walls of the rift were flickering with a faint blue light, as if countless deep eyes were watching them.

Every step was accompanied by biting cold and a heavy sense of oppression, which made people shiver.

Just as they were about to explore further, suddenly, a layer of ice in front of them trembled slightly, and a burst of energy suddenly spread out.
