"Thank you for your generosity!"

Mussen's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed, his body nearly bending into a sharp angle.

Mussen's voice quivered slightly with excitement, "Rest assured, my lord, I will always follow your orders."

"Good, I believe in your loyalty."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Luo De's mouth.

Then, Luo De turned his head to look at the carpenter and blacksmith standing beside him.

Both craftspeople were not young.

The blacksmith was a sturdy middle-aged man standing there, while the carpenter's hair was streaked with white, both as tense as children.

"The same goes for you."

Luo De's voice was as gentle as possible,

"My Frost Leaf Town will treat all talented people well."

"You two will receive better treatment, your families will be settled, and you can work honestly at the Blacksmith Shop."

"Thank you, master."

The blacksmith and the carpenter exchanged glances, and a few smiles finally appeared on their faces.

"However, it's different here than elsewhere; you both need to learn some new things."

Luo De suddenly became serious, "I never skimp on those who work seriously, but if you have other intentions, I am equally ruthless."

"Your Hawk Count is already dead, so it's best not to have any ill thoughts."

"Yes, yes, master, please rest assured!"

The blacksmith and the carpenter nodded repeatedly, then realized and widened their eyes.

The blacksmith's voice trembled, "Do you mean the Hawk Count of the Eagle Ridge is dead?"

"Yes, it's said that he was assassinated."

Luo De looked at their reactions; Gang Le had probably taken them away before the news spread.

This also proved that his soldiers were tight-lipped.

By telling these two people, Luo De wanted them not to have any undue thoughts and to work solidly.

"Work hard, there's more hope in Frost Leaf Town than your little village."

Luo De encouraged them with a few more words and then had Lawrence take the carpenter and blacksmith away to get settled.

Mussen, on the other hand, was directly sent to school to learn literacy.

...

...

Three days later.

The sky after the snow was exceptionally clear and bright.

The silhouettes of Frost and Thunder streaked across the sky, leaving two beautiful arcs against the azure dome.

These two Two-headed Flying Dragons had stayed in Frost Leaf Town for a long time without practice.

With Luo De leading them, they seemed exceptionally excited, constantly flipping and diving in the air, as if celebrating their newfound freedom.

The estimate was that the temperature in the Northern Wasteland was already minus twenty degrees, but it didn't affect the soaring Two-headed Flying Dragons in the slightest.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Frost Wolf Forest, Luo De called back the two little ones and assigned them their tasks.

Following Luo De's instructions, they shuttled back and forth in the sky above the forest, searching for traces of the White Wolf.

"Are you sure that this White Wolf is in this Frost Forest?"

Luo De asked Wolfhoof by his side.

He frowned, rubbing his hands together, occasionally breathing on them to warm himself a bit.

In this Northern Wasteland weather, Luo De really didn't want to venture out.

Frost and Thunder had searched from the sky for over half an hour, sweeping through the entire forest, yet they hadn't seen any sign of the White Wolf.

Though the forest was large, it shouldn't be difficult for the Two-headed Flying Dragon's sight to find their target.

"It should still be here, Saint Master."

Wolfhoof, somewhat uneasy, explained, "Our scouts still saw its shadow in the forest yesterday, tearing beside a wild boar."

After speaking, Wolfhoof added,

"The Frost Wolf Forest is abundant in food and has no enemies, so the White Wolf shouldn't leave such a place."

There were quite a few beasts in the forest, but even a grizzly bear was no match for the White Wolf.

"Hmm, then it might be hiding in some cave."

Luo De pondered.

That White Wolf was hunting yesterday, so it shouldn't hunt today, right?

"Get a fire going to warm everyone up, and then head in directly to search for the White Wolf's traces."

Frost and Thunder couldn't find traces of the White Wolf in the cave from the sky, they still had to rely on the Hunting Team.

"Yes, my lord."

Wolfhoof and Rein responded, and everyone still gathered dry branches for the fire.

However, at that moment, Frost suddenly flew back.

It called out to Luo De twice, letting out a low, moaning sound, extended its neck towards the northwest direction of the forest, and then flapped its wings to ascend again.

"Seems like you've found the target."

Luo De casually tossed a big piece of jerky, which Frost caught in one gulp and swallowed whole.

"Gather the team, follow Frost!"

With Luo De's order, everyone dropped their firewood and marched forward with the Two-legged Flying Dragon.

Soon, Thunder also seemed to have discovered the White Wolf and flew back to join Frost.

Under the guidance of the Two-legged Flying Dragons, the team moved forward incessantly.

Before long, Luo De saw a silver-white giant wolf in the valley, guarding the bloody corpse of a wild deer, warily observing its surroundings.

After not detecting any anomalies, the giant wolf continued dragging the wild deer's corpse forward.

Luo De couldn't help but lament inwardly that his previous assumptions were clearly incorrect.

This White Wolf had a huge appetite, hunting both yesterday and today.

Of course, Luo De didn't focus too much on this but rather carefully scrutinized the giant wolf.

This giant wolf was nearly two meters in length, with a shoulder height of one point three or four meters, substantially larger than ordinary wolves.

Its silver-white fur caught the sun brilliantly, its claws and fangs stained with the wild deer's blood, resembling a cruel, bloodthirsty yet noble prince.

Wolfhoof was right; such a White Wolf indeed suited being a mount for domestication; both its size and aura were comparable to a warhorse.

Luo De didn't hesitate and immediately issued a command,

"Rein, you lead the first hunting team to block upfront, Us to lead the second team to encircle the back."

Luo De eyed the distant White Wolf, "Spear Team head to the opposite side, surround it for me."

This time, Luo De brought forty people, aside from the two hunting teams, there were thirty spearmen.

Everyone's equipment was very complete; claw hooks and nets, everything was prepared.

Hunting a White Wolf was not like capturing a regular Desert Wolf; it was a true challenge.

If the White Wolf had intelligence, Luo De figured it would be tough to trap it with a snare.

Therefore, Luo De decided to use arrows coated in poison to incapacitate it before capture.

Of course, the arrowheads were specially made needle-shaped, not conical.

Without barbs on the sides, it could be easily pulled out, only causing some superficial wounds without being fatal.

"Try to avoid the White Wolf's vital parts."

Luo De raised his voice in admonishment, "Beware of its ice spike spray, do not take it head-on, as the spell has special effects."

"Do not get frozen; otherwise, you'll lose half your life."

Everyone was an ordinary human being, with no magic resistance, and could not withstand those magical damages at all.

Luo De didn't want anyone getting injured from the White Wolf hunt.

The Hunting Team was dearly beloved to him.

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone responded in unison, their faces full of seriousness and concentration.

"Move!"

With Luo De's command, everyone immediately sprang into action, swiftly moving to circle the White Wolf.

The Hunting Team was not new to these tasks; well-practiced, they were more skilled than even a trained military unit in this regard.

However, the White Wolf was more vigilant than anticipated.

Before the Hunting Team could approach within a hundred meters, the White Wolf already sensed danger.

It halted its prey and stopped advancing, raised its head, blood dripping from its mouth, and warily scanned the surroundings.

The White Wolf's nose twitched slightly as if sniffing out the enemy's scent in the air, its body tensed for battle.

"It is not an ordinary Magical Beast."

Luo De observed with a murmur.

Those deep, ice-blue eyes were fierce, a menacing yet majestic being.

"Hold off on attacking its vital points,"

Luo De suddenly changed his mind.

"For this White Wolf, perhaps a different approach is warranted."

Before coming face to face with the beast, Luo De stood up and stepped out from behind the protective boulder.

"Come Wolfhoof, let us meet this magical beast."
