David smiled and reassured.
This was a good opportunity to be alone with Ye Zi, and he certainly wouldn't miss it.
After spending time together, he could sense that Ye Zi was no longer resisting him so much.
With continued effort, he felt confident in winning Ye Zi over.
Next, David handed the Wind Mage inheritance he had sorted to Lingnai, who, although a Tier Three Witch, had not yet acquired wizard inheritance.
"Thank you, Lord Duke."
Lingnai's clear and pleasing voice rang out.
The witch's character was as free as the wind, yet also had an aloofness that kept people at a distance.
David still hadn't had much interaction with this Wind Witch.
However, he wasn't in urgent need of mastering wind powers, preferring to nurture feelings slowly.
"Lord Duke, is there any wizard knowledge I could learn?" Sofia asked.
She seemed out of place with these inheritances and was feeling a bit lost.
"You might want to try learning about the knowledge of Array Mages."
David recalled briefly going over the Array Mage inheritance, which contained many alchemy-related knowledge.
Sofia's ability was materialization.
If she could understand some principles of magical artifacts, perhaps Sofia could materialize them.
Upon hearing this, Sofia nodded happily and went to the chest containing the Array Mage inheritance.
Melissa wasn't particularly ambitious and decided to study arrays, offering to help transcribe books related to arrays.
Hill, the Earth Witch, naturally chose the earth-attribute inheritance to learn.
Liya, Amy, and Reina transcribed the most content, focusing on the Ice Faction inheritance, the most important in the Ice Wizard Organization.
David assigned the task of book transcription.
Finally, he handed the wizard inheritance for the fire and water factions to the two maids serving beside him.
"Master, can we also do it?" Fire Dance expressed surprise.
Though they had been learning wizardry, their talent was notably lacking.
They were close to giving up on becoming wizards and didn't expect the master to entrust them with this task.
Shuili felt a bit panicked too.
She had studied for some time with Lady Amy.
But she had only learned to recognize words and felt unsure about completing such a daunting task.
"Don't worry, we'll all help you."
"Moreover, these are basic wizard inheritances, you may indeed use this to become wizards."
David reassured.
Amy nodded, affirming she would surely assist.
The two little maids exchanged looks and nodded in agreement.
Though they were aware of their ordinary wizard talent, they truly wanted to become witches.
Once the wizard inheritance transcription tasks were set, the witches eagerly began transcribing.
For a wizard,
No one can resist the temptation of wizard knowledge; for wizards, knowledge is power.
...
Frost Wolf Ridge, City Hall.
David and Reina still needed to handle territorial governance.
This time, they successfully took over the Northern Fortress while also removing Beibing City loyal to the Royal Family; they could directly seize the entire Northern Lands.
Frost Wolf Ridge could thus accelerate its development progress.
With just Frost Wolf Ridge alone, development couldn't be sustained; the formal establishment of Frost Wolf City was a necessity, bringing more territories into the rule of the Frost Wolf Clan.
Besides, how to manage relations with the Royal Family had to be properly discussed.
Right now, Frost Wolf Ridge hadn't reached a stage for relaxation; if the ridge engaged in direct conflict with the Royal Family, victory would remain elusive.
Of course, by shifting focus, Frost Wolf Ridge had gradually matured.
From initially relying on the intimidation of Frost Giant Wolf, now possessing genuine Tier Six power, the Royal Capital found devouring Frost Wolf Ridge no easy feat.
Ultimately, it's about having sufficient strength.
If he could further enhance his power, reaching Tier Six Peak, or even breaking through to Tier Seven,
There'd be nothing in the Silver Moon Kingdom to fear; it would be a complete sweep.
"Reina, let's take a break."
David spoke to Reina, who was still reviewing various regional documents.
Reina glanced at him briefly before lowering her head to review documents again.
"Those soul powers, don't want them?" He teased.
Helplessly, Reina stood up, with one hand pressing on the table, while flipping through the documents with the other, reviewing them line by line.
David had already moved behind Reina.
They began correcting papers and working together.
After editing a few documents, Reina couldn't help biting on her pen, resting her hands on the desk.
...
In the evening.
David and Reina finally returned to Frost Wolf Castle.
Then, David went to Reina's room.
Since he needed to help Reina advance to Tier Four, he had already informed Liya about the evening's arrangements, so Liya and the others went to rest first.
Tonight, Reina had to fight alone.
"I'll go take a bath first."
Reina remarked, feeling sticky and uncomfortable on her skin.
"Alright."
"Remember to put that on."
David sat on a chair, admiring the princess's beautiful figure.
"Got it." Reina replied, blushing.
However, she had already agreed long before the Duke left.
Once Reina finished her bath, she emerged wearing an actual princess gown.
She also adorned herself with a princess crown, showcasing Princess Jingge's captivating aura, instantly drawing David's gaze.
