Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

The Northern Wolfhound is a domesticated winter wolf, belonging to the same species as the Winter Wolf King.

After the Magic Heart was modified, the resulting rejection reaction was negligible.

The entire process of bloodline modification proceeded smoothly.

After completing the final step, Lind used magic threads to suture the incision in the wolfhound's abdomen.

At this point, the preliminary preparations have been completed.

Noticing the wolfhound's body trembling, Lind stroked its head to soothe it.

"Hold on, harness this power, and let it understand who its true master is."

The situation is different for the wolfhound and William.

William was a knight, and his basic physical attributes were strong enough.

Furthermore, with the help of Linde's blood to promote fusion, and the absorption of the power of the ice-blue crystal, after activating the frost enhancement rune, he quickly stepped into the extraordinary realm.

But wolfhounds are not suitable; they are not wolf kings and their physical attributes are too poor.

To reach the extraordinary level, one needs to cross two major levels.

Therefore, Linde split the bloodline modification into two parts.

In the first part, the wolfhound will fuse with the magical heart, and in the process, it needs to consume a lot of nutrients to strengthen its physique.

In the second part, once the body is strong enough, the frost enhancement runes within are activated again, absorbing the surrounding magic power and stepping into the extraordinary realm.

Linde chopped up the flesh and blood of the Winter Wolf King, boiled it with high-grade sunflowers to make a broth, and made a nutritious medicinal dish, which he kept feeding to the wolfhounds.

For the next three days, the wolfhound lay in agony in the snow, unable to move, and could only rely on Lind for food.

On the contrary, its appetite has increased dramatically.

Over three days, they consumed almost half of the Winter Wolf King, nearly two tons of its flesh and blood.

The higher-grade sunflowers alone consumed more than fifty flowers.

Linde had to supply the Icefield Demon Flesh to the Demon Field to accelerate the ripening of some of the Higher Sunflowers in order to make up for the consumption.

The cost was enormous, but the results were even more remarkable.

With constant eating, the wolfhound's body has grown from less than two meters to more than four meters long.

Its shoulder height reached two meters, making it a truly enormous creature.

Two pure white, flawless long teeth protrude from the upper jaw, adding a touch of ferocity to the already imposing figure.

When the body reaches its growth limit, the bloodline modification enters the second stage.

"Awoo!"

The wolfhound rose shakily from the snow, raised its head, and growled.

At this moment, the Frost Enhancement Rune was activated within its body.

The surrounding ice and snow swirled and formed holes, from which a continuous stream of frost magic gathered and flowed into its body.

The baptism of ice and snow from the North becomes the final piece of the puzzle to step into the extraordinary.

The wolfhound darted out from the snow and ice.

The surging power within it made it leap and bound wildly in the snow, like a child who had just received a new toy.

After throwing a tantrum and expending all its excess energy, the wolfhound came to Lind's side and excitedly rubbed against him.

"Stop, stop, stop fooling around. Don't you know how big you are? Are you trying to crush me?"

Linde slapped it on the head in annoyance, which finally calmed it down. It lay on the ground, sticking out its tongue innocently.

Linde shook his head helplessly, but soon couldn't help but laugh.

The giant wolf before them was pure white and had long fangs.

It has now broken through the shackles of its bloodline and become a brand new extraordinary demon.

The strength of Sunflower Manor has reached a new level.

Linde tested the wolfhound's abilities, summoning the wizard's journal to record data.

Name: Frostfang Wolf

[Type: Extraordinary Monster]

[Description: A large white wolf evolved from a northern winter wolf through the baptism of ice and snow, fused with frost-enhancing runes. It can ride ice and snow and is as swift as the wind.]

[Talent ① Frostfang Roar: Fangs gather ice and snow, unleashing a chilling breath that can freeze enemies within a short distance.]

[Talent ② Ice Blade Sharpening: The wolf claws rub against the fangs, inflicting frost damage for a short time and increasing the wolf claws' lethality.]

The evolved wolfhound was named Frostfang Wolf by Lind.

Compared to the Winter Wolf King, the Frostfang Wolf does not have the ability to command the Icefield Ghosts.

But the power to control ice and snow is purer, and it can also use its fangs to enchant the wolf claws with frost.

In terms of individual combat ability alone, the Frostfang Wolf is even superior to the Winter Wolf King. Its sharp claws are enough to tear through plate armor, making it incredibly powerful.

The giant wolf was so conspicuous that it was hard not to notice it, naturally attracting the attention of the other people in the manor.

However, nowadays, both residents and soldiers hold Lind in high esteem.

Upon seeing the majestic and enormous Frostfang Wolf, they marveled at the Lord's wonder and quickly accepted this new veteran member into the family.

That morning.

Outside the gate of Sunflower Manor.

Linde, accompanied by five knights and twenty soldiers, prepared to go fishing on the Mecca River.

Behind them, Frostfang wolves with reins around their necks pulled a large sled loaded with fishing nets and ice-breaking tools such as ice picks.

There are two major dangers to fishing in the Mecca River.

First, the roads are extremely cold; second, transportation is difficult.

When the higher sunflowers were replenished and the soldiers were dressed in cotton-padded clothes and wolfskin armor, the bitter cold was no longer a problem.

The addition of the Frostfang Wolf made transporting the catch even easier.

When paired with a sled, it is large enough to transport 15,000 pounds of fish, enough to feed more than 200 people on the estate for more than two months.

May the sun's light shine on your path.

William and Hibbert bowed and watched Lind leave.

Someone needs to stay and look after the manor.

Since Linde has chosen to go to the Mecca River, the military and internal affairs of the estate will be temporarily handled by the two of them.

In fact, it's not much different from usual.

The general direction has been decided.

Linde knew that whether he was at the manor or not would have no impact in the short term, so he excitedly led the soldiers onto the sled.

The next second, the Frostfang Wolf couldn't wait to dart out, propelling the sled forward at high speed.

The whistling wind in their ears caused the soldiers to gasp in alarm.

The snowflakes that rushed towards him whitened his eyebrows, but Lind was enjoying the exhilarating feeling of speeding along at high speed, and relaxed by spreading his arms wide.

Of course, while he was having fun, he didn't forget his real reason for coming out.

On their way to the lower reaches of the Mecca River, the Frostfang Wolf caught a scent and gradually slowed down.

It then pounced on a snowy area, digging with its two front paws, turning over the snow and the soil beneath.

Soil flew as the entire root system of a plant was dug out.

The Frostfang Wolf picked it up and excitedly ran to Lind, eager for praise.

"That's great."

Linde rubbed its head encouragingly and took the plant's rootstock.

It has a yellowish-white cylindrical shape and emits a faint fragrance.

This is Acanthopanax senticosus, formerly known as Siberian ginseng, which has medicinal effects of strengthening muscles and bones.

Using his clairvoyant eye, Linde discovered a faint magical power flowing within the Acanthopanax senticosus plant.

The characteristics of the organisms have changed due to the influence of the ice storm.

And that's precisely why he came out.

Collect wild plants to accumulate experimental materials for [trait mutation], which will facilitate the better training of knight followers and soldiers.
