Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 240: Chapter 132: The Dawn of the Contract Era

He could feel that Brian’s life force had become extremely weak, unable to break free from the ice, completely losing the ability to fight.

Thinking this way, his figure descended from the sky and injected ice power into the ice sculpture, with the final ice chain firmly binding it!

From this moment, the conspiracy initiated by the Silver Moon Kingdom was declared a failure!

"Lord Duke."

The nobles and officials hurried forward.

Whether betrayed or not, they were all deeply shocked!

The Royal Guardian Knight was defeated even while wearing the Silver Dragon Armor, and with Duke Frost Wolf controlling the Ice Barrier at the Northern Fortress, no one could possibly shake him; even if two more Tier Six Knights came, it would likely be the same!

Now, even without the constraints of the Oath of Loyalty, the nobles present clearly dared not easily betray him, and those who had betrayed him before were even more terrified.

Next, these families either sent people or money, fearing Duke Frost Wolf would blame them, leading to the destruction of their entire families!

...

Three days later.

David left the Northern Fortress with the ice sculpture.

At the same time, the news from the Northern Fortress spread rapidly.

That Silver Dragon Armor was so iconic that everyone knew the Royal Guardian Knight of the Silver Moon Kingdom had made a move.

Yet, even so, this Guardian Knight died at the hands of Duke Frost Wolf, not even lasting a few moves before his entire body was sealed in ice!

As the news spread, the entire Northern Lands were shaken!

The nobles who secretly sided with the Silver Moon Kingdom were even more fearful!

They knew Duke Frost Wolf loved wealth and noble ladies, so they quickly took action, sending large amounts of wealth and noble ladies to Frost Wolf Ridge.

The news soon reached other parts of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and nobles in other territories fell silent; Duke Frost Wolf’s performance was too overpowering!

He killed the Royal Guardian Knight of the Silver Moon Kingdom just like that!

Even the Silver Dragon Armor fell into Duke Frost Wolf’s hands!

This was almost equivalent to declaring war on the Silver Moon Kingdom, but with the power Duke Frost Wolf displayed, he seemed truly unafraid of the Silver Moon Kingdom!

...

Silver Moon Royal Capital.

Bronco, upon receiving the news, crushed the wine glass in his hand!

He had planned for a long time for this operation, even dispatching the Royal Guardian Knight of the Silver Moon Kingdom, along with delivering the Silver Dragon Armor and Demon-Banning Stone.

But just as his operation began, it declared outright failure, leaving him completely baffled. Where had it all gone wrong? Had the nobles of the Northern Lands all pledged allegiance to Duke Frost Wolf and even chosen to betray the Silver Moon Kingdom?

Moreover, Duke Frost Wolf’s strength again exceeded his expectations. In his estimation, with the Silver Dragon Armor and Demon-Banning Stone, plus the Guardian Knight’s own power, even if Duke Frost Wolf activated the power of the Ice Treasure Pearl, a head-on battle was still manageable, yet he was utterly defeated with ease!

Anyone could see that the gulf between their strengths was like an unbridgeable chasm, indicating that Duke Frost Wolf likely mastered the Limit-Breaking Method!

A Tier Six Knight.

Already unbelievable was such a young Tier Six Knight.

Now, with Duke Frost Wolf’s strength still growing, it meant he must have some powerful inheritance in his hands.

This speed of cultivation could only be achieved by Wizards in the Magic Tide Era. Could it be that Duke Frost Wolf truly gained the inheritance from the Ice Barrier?

"Damn, I should have acted sooner!" Bronco clenched his fist.

If he had known Duke Frost Wolf’s strength would increase so quickly, during the disorder in the Northern Lands, he would have disregarded the Eldest Prince and sent all forces to capture Frost Wolf Ridge when it was still so weak.

Even at the last moment when choosing between Frost Wolf Ridge and the Southern Territory, he had the opportunity to kill Duke Frost Wolf, but he misjudged again!

Now, this once small beast struggling to survive in crevices had grown into a terrifying giant beast without him even realizing it, and he could do nothing against it!

"Must I truly hand over the Northern Lands?" Bronco was full of reluctance, eyes burning with anger; his Guardian Knight must not die in vain!

...

Frost Wolf Ridge.

David ignored the reactions of others.

He was now observing the ice sculpture before him, silver light flickering in his eyes.

Now, his Contract Talent had broken through to the Extraordinary Level, and he also mastered the power of the Heart of Contract, planning to continue attempting the Spirit Contract!

Compared to forming a contractual bond through a signed contract, forcibly constructing a Spiritual Mark through a Spirit Contract was undoubtedly more efficient!

Having just acquired the Heart of Contract, he grasped the ability of the Contract Book, though he hadn’t had time to research it, but now he could study it well.

If he could control the Guardian Knight before him through the Spirit Contract, he would have a slave at the Tier Six Knight level, significantly boosting his strength!

For this, he began to communicate with Annie, researching arrays and rituals to enhance the effect of the Spirit Contract.

The arrays originally contained summoning and contract formations, and the rituals of the Barbarian Race also had rituals to help tame Magical Beasts.

Thus, they could ensure the Spirit Contract could meet the requirements to bind this Tier Six Knight, only needing some improvement in the Spirit Contract.

Originally, this research was ongoing, and with acquiring the Heart of Contract, the research made breakthrough progress immediately.
