slightly with smiles at the corners of their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, Fire Dance, Shuili.\" David greeted them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was Ye Zi, Lingnai, Melissa, and Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three witches had only met David once before, and this was their first true meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three witches approached David, lifted their skirts, and curtsied, \"Thank you, Lord Duke, for saving us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, it’s no trouble.\" David replied gently, \"As a fellow wizard, I have a responsibility to protect you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I need your abilities and wisdom to stand against the Church together and build a holy mountain for wizards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your recognition is our honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingnai’s eyes glimmered with a strange light in the candlelight, \"We are willing to use our knowledge and power to establish a holy mountain for wizards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melissa added with a smile, \"Yes, Lord Duke, we are happy to assist whenever needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it’s facing external threats or resolving internal issues.\" Her face showed a spark of interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia, the youngest of the three witches, appeared a bit shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her words were equally firm, \"I will do my utmost to protect this land and my fellow wizards, just as you have always done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no need to be so solemn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Wizard Castle, also a home for wizards, just treat it as your own home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, this place would soon become a conference of allegiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingnai, Melissa, and Sofia exchanged glances and all breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the Lord Duke was as easygoing as Sister Ye Zi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, everyone entered the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Dance and Shuili began setting the table, while David led everyone to their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David sat with his wives on the right side, while the witches sat on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie hesitated once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had accepted her identity, she should indeed sit on the right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was the guide for the witches and should sit with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Annie, take good care of your companions.\" David said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie looked gratefully at the Lord Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went to the left side of the table and sat down, directly facing David and just catching his smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned slightly red, and she quickly took a sip of water from the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the meal, David inquired about recent events in the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Northern Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina explained everything in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, nothing major had happened in the Silver Moon Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the Northern Lands, the Holy Light Church had begun to hunt wizards in full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even sent a notice to Frost Wolf Ridge requesting cooperation in searching for wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had rescued three witches right under the Church’s nose, nearly killing Hillman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the Church was truly provoked by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They intended to use their influence to flush him out and attempt to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from the Church’s actions, it was clear they did not know the wizard’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he used Nine-tailed Fox Beastification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with Earth Faction Magic, the two powers could not be linked to the strength of the Frost Wolf Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emissary still wants to see you, but I told them the lord was in seclusion to send them away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina continued, \"However, I did take the initiative to have the knights block the road from Crystal Song Forest to Frost Wolf Forest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David nodded upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his return journey, he had encountered knights from the Northern Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just before reaching Frost Wolf Forest, he came across the Wolf Cavalry, which had made him a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, with Reina managing affairs in the domain, the response this time was excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But not long after, I received an invitation from the Saintess.\" Reina continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Saintess wants to visit me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David furrowed his brow, showing a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frost Wolf Clan had never had much interaction with the Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Frost Wolf Duke even disliked the Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had openly opposed the establishment of a Holy Light Church chapel in the Northern Lands, representing royal power resisting divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Holy Light Church’s influence on the Bright Continent was very strong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Dawn Empire was centrally located on the continent, with its influence spreading to the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The western continent, once the main battleground between wizards and the Church, was less influenced by the Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Church had always attempted to subdue the many kingdoms in the west over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these kingdoms would not easily submit to divine rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struggle between royal power and divine power has always been the main theme of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Moon Kingdom is still a key focus for the Holy Light Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Tier Six Bishop, but even that can’t completely defeat royal power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, it has become increasingly difficult for wizards to survive in the Silver Moon Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the conflict between the divine power represented by the Holy Light Church and the royal power of the Silver Moon Kingdom,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there is high unanimity in the stance of hunting wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the old Frost Wolf Duke would personally eliminate any discovered wizard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without needing the Church to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the Church wanted to visit this new Frost Wolf Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was uncertain what the purpose of the Saintess’s visit to Frost Wolf Ridge was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have not yet responded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reina nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Light Church wants to visit Frost Wolf Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that the Silver Moon Saintess and Demon Hunter Hillman will also be coming to Frost Wolf Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>",950,"2026-06-02T12:15:32.422Z",1,"novelbin.me","32948d77369ef13587368a49639cc66fc8e7e5e15afaca511d519da5e72cceed","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-141","wizard-stronger-through-marriage-chapter-139",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-stronger-through-marriage-cover.jpg"]
