Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Awakening, Talent Ability!
Council Hall.
After discussing the specifics, the officials departed one by one.
With a Lord of Earth Knight Level leading the way and supported by over a hundred Gray Wolves, everyone was full of confidence.
Now, what they needed to do was prepare for the aftermath.
The territory is not simply about conquering; the subsequent governance and other tasks are significant issues.
Moreover, although many territories have already slipped from the control of the Frost Wolf Clan, they haven’t officially broken ties yet.
Thus, different territories require different approaches to handle.
Of course, David didn’t bother with these matters; his purpose in developing the territory was just better resource collection.
To him, the most important thing now was to enhance his strength.
Spending time on developing the territory would be putting the cart before the horse.
Once all the territory officials left, David turned his gaze to Reina, who was still sitting in her chair pondering.
He noticed early on that Reina was very interested in managing the territory.
Usually, he would bring up territory affairs to pique Reina’s interest, and take the chance to make some excessive demands.
This was also the main reason he had Reina attend the meeting this time. If Reina was willing, he would even hand over territorial affairs directly to her.
"Lord Duke."
Reina snapped back to reality and saw David staring at her intently.
David chuckled, walked forward, picked up Reina, and carried her out of the council hall and directly up to the second floor.
Upon reaching the corner of the second floor, he paused for a moment and said with a flicker of hope, "Reina, can we go to the third floor?"
Ah, another rather excessive request.
David was actually testing the waters, thinking maybe it would work this time?
Reina was startled, and her face turned red to the point of almost dripping blood; she naturally understood what Lord Duke meant.
Under normal circumstances, she would have refused without hesitation.
But thinking of Liya and Amy, who had once waited just like her, and the trust she just felt from Lord Duke.
She hesitated for a moment and then, as if by some strange compulsion, nodded her head.
David was instantly overjoyed, not giving Reina a chance to regret, he walked swiftly towards the third floor.
Inside the attic.
Amy was reading a book.
Liya was at the side eating snacks.
However, they both seemed a little distracted, occasionally glancing at the door.
Fire Dance and Shuili were tidying up the room, as time suggested the Lord would come to the third floor to sleep tonight.
Knock, knock, knock—
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned towards the sound.
David knocked on the door once, then pushed it open, entering hand in hand with a blushing Reina.
"Young Master David."
"Lord."
Liya and Amy exclaimed joyfully at the same time.
Then, they looked at Reina, who was slightly shy next to David.
Liya stood up upon seeing this, smiled, and stepped forward to take Reina’s hand, "Sister Reina, come in quickly."
Seeing this, Fire Dance and Shuili smiled, greeted them, and then sensibly retreated and closed the door.
As time passed, the little maid sisters’ faces filled increasingly with smiles.
David withdrew his gaze, looking at the three women in the room, and couldn’t help but lick his somewhat parched lips.
"Ladies, it’s time to rest..."
...
The cultivation session was a bit long this time.
Even though David was an Earth Knight, he felt somewhat exhausted.
But the rewards were immense, with this session, both the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline and the Snow Demon Spirit had met their upgrade requirements.
[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Tier Four (10029/10000)]
[Snow Demon Spirit: Tier Two (1007/1000)]
[Ice Element Talent: Intermediate (4230/10000)]
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, David continued to hold the tired three women and fell soundly asleep.
The next morning.
Liya and Amy looked as usual, while Reina still had a blush on her face.
Once the door opened, Fire Dance, who had been waiting by it, entered to tidy up the disarray in the room.
However, what David didn’t notice was that Fire Dance’s ears were a bit red, like ripe apples.
...
The castle training room.
David sat cross-legged alone.
After adjusting his state, he summoned the system panel.
With a thought, the Snow Demon Spirit first broke through to Tier Three.
Instantly, the Frost Wolf Spirit in David’s Spiritual World roared, its aura enhancing further.
Next, the feedback from the Snow Demon Spirit’s level-up further strengthened his spiritual power, inching closer to Tier Two Peak.
After successfully achieving the Snow Demon Spirit breakthrough, David sensed his spiritual power and control over the Ice Element.
Compared to before, his Ice Power had strengthened significantly.
He even felt that even if he encountered the Ice Wolf Great Knight again, he could stand a chance against him using just Ice Power!
Extraordinary power is indeed formidable.
According to legend, wizards of the same level as knights have overwhelming strength for good reason.
Having completed the Snow Demon Spirit breakthrough, David didn’t rush the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline breakthrough but started cultivating with the Snow Demon Breathing Technique.
Instantly, the surrounding Ice Elemental Power continuously gathered and entered his body.
Part of it was absorbed by his body, some fused into the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, and the rest into the Frost Wolf Spirit.
After familiarizing himself with his current power, he began breaking through the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline.
As the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline advanced to Tier Five, a powerful aura of blood energy enveloped his body.
Furthermore, with his spiritual power and Ice Element Talent, he could sense the Ice Power within the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline.
He felt a surge within, controlling the Ice Elemental Power to enter his body, making it continuously merge into the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, triggering the Ice Power contained within the bloodline!
[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Tier Five (29/50000), gained racial ability: Frost Breath]
Suddenly, a completely different prompt sounded, catching David off guard, but when he realized, a look of surprise spread across his face.
This breakthrough in the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline had granted him a racial ability of the Frost Giant Wolf!
Clearly, as the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline continues to be enhanced, coupled with the Intermediate Ice Element Talent developing the bloodline hidden within the Frost Giant Wolf, it had initially activated the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline!
As the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline continues to be strengthened and developed, his bloodline will increasingly transform into that of the legendary Frost Giant Wolf, allowing him to master more powers belonging to the Frost Giant Wolf!
