This undoubtedly is an opportunity for Frost Wolf Ridge to enhance its own power, as there are quite a few bloodline nobles and officials among these people.
"Thank you, Lord Duke," Reina expressed gratefully.
David shook his head, "I told you, I will help you reclaim the Jingge Kingdom."
The two embraced for a while, then started handling their respective state affairs again.
As autumn was about to end soon, the frosty winter was approaching once more, and the refugee disaster was bound to break out again.
However, compared to last year, the population and income of Frost Wolf Ridge under his governance had significantly increased, and infrastructure was gradually improving, with the number of knights having increased tenfold.
Based on last year's situation in handling those refugees, as long as there was enough food, it would be easy to absorb these refugees.
Last year's crisis had now become an opportunity for Frost Wolf Ridge to quickly replenish its population.
Yet, this time his territory was larger.
Besides dealing with those refugees, he had to defend against the invasions from the barbarian race in the Far North and the Jingge Kingdom, while also keeping an eye on the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Church.
The Far North, Jingge Kingdom, Silver Moon Kingdom, Northern Lands, and the Church – Frost Wolf Ridge was facing many challenges now.
...
Looking at the worried Reina.
David glanced at the documents on the table, sighed, and left the city hall.
He realized he still wasn't strong enough. Originally, he thought reaching Tier Six would solve most of the problems.
However, the reality made him realize that Tier Six was just touching the upper world of this realm, barely qualifying to participate in this game.
He still needed to continue enhancing his own strength.
If he could elevate his power to Tier Seven, most problems would be resolved.
After returning to Frost Wolf Castle, David planned to resume his daily training.
"Lord,"
Cynthia saw David return and happily welcomed him.
During this period, David wanted Cynthia to help him cultivate the Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline and Beastification Talent, and Cynthia uncharacteristically did not run around.
David lovingly ruffled Cynthia's head, holding her hand as they walked towards the back garden. The disparity in height between the 1.8 and 1.5-meter individuals created a strong contrast.
Upon reaching the back garden, David started guiding Cynthia, urging her to keep practicing her Beastification Talent and mastery over the Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline.
Currently, Cynthia's Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline strength was Tier Four, but her Beastification Talent was only Middle, making it impossible to fully utilize her Tier Four Bloodline Power.
However, Cynthia's improvement could be said to be the simplest; as soon as her Beastification Talent reached High, she could instantly possess Tier Four power!
In the field.
Cynthia had fully transformed into a half-beastman form of a Nine-tailed Fox.
She was continuously using her Beastification Talent to harness the power contained in the Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline, constantly using it to enhance her physical attributes.
According to David's experience, to fully master bloodline power, Spiritual Power and physical attribute are both essential; otherwise, it's impossible to completely harness the power contained in the bloodline.
Like himself who couldn't fully master the bloodline of a Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf because both his Spiritual Power and physical state could not manage the Tier Seven power.
Cynthia lost her patience shortly after starting her training.
If David weren't watching, she would have wanted to run off long ago; sitting still to cultivate was truly difficult for her, and she felt that potion effects were better.
"Lord,"
Cynthia acted coyly after David completed a round of training.
David saw this and showed a helpless expression on his face, "Let's go, I'll help you train."
But facing Cynthia, who was acting like a little loli, what else could he say but indulge her?
Upon hearing this, Cynthia nodded happily and jumped onto the lord.
David quickly supported Cynthia, walking with her towards the nearby grove.
"Agreed, if I'm helping you train, you have to endure a bit," David said, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
"Okay, okay."
Cynthia hesitated somewhat.
Feeling like the lord was a bit intimidating like this.
Seeing Cynthia agree, David took a deep breath and suddenly activated his Beastification Talent.
Soon, fox ears appeared on his head while three fox tails manifested behind him, transforming him into a half-beastman form resembling Cynthia!
"Lord!"
Cynthia's eyes widened in surprise.
Clearly, she hadn't expected that the lord could possess the same Beastification Ability as her, making her feel as though her bloodline was being suppressed!
Wasn't the lord supposed to have the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline?
How did the lord also have Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline Power within him!
This was also David's first time transforming into a half-beastman form during cultivation. Although it seemed only his ears and tails had changed, he felt a sense of having become stronger, and he tried to adapt himself to his new body.
"Lord, why did you also transform?"
Cynthia calmed down, reaching out to touch David's tail behind him.
David's tail moved, wrapping around Cynthia's outstretched hand as he smiled and said, "This is the Wizard Power I activated, which can acquire bloodline and talent through cultivation from you, and also help strengthen your bloodline and talent."
He didn't hide much. Even though his ability seemed somewhat overpowering, wizard power inherently involved rule-based power.
Besides, Liya and the others likely knew of his ability already, especially Reina, the proud little princess, who often asked to train actively.
