Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 235: Chapter 131: The Contract Book That Must Never Be Broken!

Especially that leading Ghost Wolf Beast, its terrifying aura kept oppressing the Mount Wolves inside the city!

"That is... Duke Frost Wolf!"

The pupils of the city defense commander suddenly shrank, and he quickly sent someone to notify the Earl of Desolate Wolf.

By the time the Earl of Desolate Wolf arrived at the city wall, the Frost Wolf Knight Order was already very close to Beiyuan City.

"Why has Duke Frost Wolf come?"

The other officials whispered among themselves, with some of them having flickering eyes.

The Earl of Desolate Wolf was also very puzzled in his heart.

Fortunately, he saw the figure of his daughter beside Duke Frost Wolf, and his heart settled down a bit.

If Duke Frost Wolf was here to ask for accountability, he definitely wouldn’t have brought Yuna.

But what exactly was the matter that made Duke Frost Wolf come to Beiyuan City in this snow, and even bring so many Frost Wolf Knights?

All the thoughts in his mind were a matter of an instant.

Then he directly ordered the guards to open the city gate and went ahead to greet them himself.

"Greetings, Lord Duke."

The Earl of Desolate Wolf led the nobles and officials to kneel on one knee to salute.

"Rise."

David nodded, being welcomed into the city.

"I wonder what Lord Duke needs me to do?"

The Earl of Desolate Wolf lowered his posture, speaking in a low voice.

Since he was forced to kill the Marquis of Giant Lizard and the Giant Lizard Knight Order, he had been firmly tied to the Frost Wolf Clan.

"Have all the nobles and officials come to the castle." David said.

"Alright."

The Earl of Desolate Wolf was even more puzzled in his heart, but he still nodded.

After arriving at Desolate Wolf Castle, David went directly to the council hall, while Yuna acted on her own, presumably having her own matters to attend to at home.

Before long, the nobles and officials of Beiyuan City arrived one after another. After exchanging glances, they sat in their places, full of confusion.

David didn’t waste any words, directly stating what he had heard about envoys from the Silver Moon Kingdom persuading the various Northern Lands nobles and officials.

Upon hearing this, everyone present had a sudden change of expression. Some were full of confusion, some were scrutinizing, and some were panicked.

"Lord Duke, I swear by the ancestors of the Desolate Wolf Clan, I have not betrayed the Frost Wolf Clan." The Earl of Desolate Wolf immediately stood up and spoke in a deep voice.

"I know."

"Otherwise, I would have already attacked."

David comforted, still very approving of the Earl of Desolate Wolf’s performance.

Of course, his trust in the Earl of Desolate Wolf did not mean he trusted the other nobles and officials present.

The Earl of Desolate Wolf obviously thought of this too, scanning the room with a solemn expression.

David didn’t say much more, directly taking out the oath of loyalty, allowing these nobles and lords to swear loyalty again and sign the contract.

The Earl of Desolate Wolf didn’t know about the Heart of Contract, but he was the first to pick up the oath of loyalty, read it, and swear according to the words on it, then sign his name on it.

"I accept your loyalty." David said solemnly.

And as his words fell, the contract was concluded. David could clearly sense, through spiritual power, that a connection had formed between his soul and that of the Earl of Desolate Wolf.

At the same time, the content of the contract gathered in the Heart of Contract in the form of spiritual power, transformed into an energy that enveloped the aura of both souls.

The Earl of Desolate Wolf felt something in a daze, raising his head in confusion, just now he suddenly felt as if being observed by something.

But this feeling disappeared in just a moment, giving him a feeling of illusion, yet it felt very real.

David signaled to the Earl of Desolate Wolf that he could return to his position.

Then, he turned his gaze to the other nobles and officials.

"Next, please each of you swear loyalty and sign the contract individually." David said calmly.

The nobles and officials looked at each other, but no one dared to disobey.

After all, with the Earl of Desolate Wolf taking the lead, they did not want to anger this powerful duke.

One by one, the nobles and officials stepped forward, swearing loyalty as required by the contract and signing their names.

Every time they completed this process, David could feel the connections between souls gradually increasing, as the Heart of Contract continued constructing the contract bonds.

And as the last person signed and returned to their seat, a young knight suddenly stood up.

He looked determined but carried a hint of hesitation. "Lord Duke, I have something to say."

"Speak," David indicated he could go ahead.

"My name is Leon." Leon took a deep breath, "Although I’ve signed the oath of loyalty, there is something I must confess."

"I was approached by people from the Silver Moon Kingdom who tried to subvert me, but please believe me, I have not betrayed the Frost Wolf Clan."

The room fell silent, everyone anxiously looking at Leon, and then at David, worried this might be the spark of conflict.

Unexpectedly, David did not immediately become enraged.

He nodded slightly, "Thank you for your honesty. I believe in your loyalty because we now have the contract as proof."

Upon hearing this, not only Leon but also others breathed a sigh of relief. This indicated that as long as they kept their oaths, they would not be suspected or punished, making everyone much more relaxed, although a few remained doubtful in their hearts.

Did Duke Frost Wolf truly believe just signing a contract and giving assurances?

"Alright, you may return."

"Remember your words today and this oath of loyalty."

"Anyone who dares to violate the contract will certainly be severely punished."
