Eight drops of pure ice element emit a brilliant light in the light ball, attracting each other and merging into a ball, and the light blue light is filled by one point.

"This ball of energy is equivalent to the entire fighting spirit of a trainee knight. Doesn't this mean that I have to absorb a trainee knight every day? It always feels weird."

I felt a little awkward in my heart, but my body was honest and allowed this energy to pour into my body. Under the guidance of the Dou Qi core, it was quickly absorbed.

Odin felt the surging power in his body, put aside distracting thoughts, and began to practice the advanced fighting spirit training method.

Since switching to advanced training methods, the fighting spirit that could have been used for eighty rounds was now exhausted after only thirty rounds.

The improvement of the advanced training method is more comprehensive, covering everything from the skin to the internal organs and bones. It far exceeds the training intensity of the basic training method, and the natural effect is more obvious.

It can be seen from the life energy that repairs the body. Nowadays, it takes two drops of it to completely repair the damage to the body.

Mentally looking inside his cube fighting spirit core, compared with when he first entered Baiyin, the liquid space inside the core has become a little smaller, and the entire cube has also become a little larger.

In other words, the crystalline shell of the cube becomes thicker, and there are more crystalline components. As the core increases, the patterns on the two sides also become larger, and the proportions they occupy always remain unchanged.

"That's not right. According to the description of the training method, the core of fighting spirit in the silver stage will only crystallize inward until it completely forms a whole. It is not said that it will condense outward and become larger.

Isn’t this the process of change for the Golden Knights? How come it’s so early?”

Looking at the slightly increased volume of the cube, Odin couldn't figure it out. He guessed that it was probably caused by too much ice element being absorbed every day.

"Alas! Cultivation is over. As long as you become stronger, it's not a bad thing."

After comforting myself for a while, the Dou Qi cycle ended, and two drops of life energy continued to be transformed into the stomach.

Then wait for about ten minutes before exiting the soul space. If he goes out now, he will be hurt to death on the chair.

Half an hour later, Odin appeared in the living room. After sitting for a while, Butler Modi walked up to the second floor with steady steps.

"Sir, Sir O'Lanke is here, do you need to go out to greet him?"

"Forget it, it's not the first time. Just invite him up."

"Okay, sir."

Driven by huge profits, Oulanke would come to Stone Castle every other week to take away materials, very on time, even if it snowed there was no delay.

"Oh! My good brother, do you know how jealous I feel every time I see the wild bear in your backyard? It is so cruel to have to endure such torture every other week!

God of War, please let me have a magical beast of my own!"

Olanke, who had fiery red hair, strode up and shouted with an exaggerated expression.

"This is Ming Olanke. You must have tried many times. Being able to contract an adult monster can only be explained by the favor of the goddess of luck. As for why the goddess of luck favors me, there is only one reason!"

Olanke instantly put away his expression and stepped forward solemnly.

"what reason?"

"Because I'm handsome!"

"Pfft, God of War! I think Goddess of Luck should abandon you severely. You won't even let your maid go. You are no longer the pure boy you were before. Goddess of Luck will not favor such a guy.

,I swear!"

Olanke was obviously irritated and fired back angrily.

"Of course, this is just a joke between us brothers. Back to the topic, I have brought you something good this time."

After saying that, he took out a booklet from his arms and placed it in front of Odin.

"This is the ice fighting skill my father acquired in exchange for it. Take a look."

"Fighting skills!"

Looking at the booklet in front of him, Odin felt happy and quickly took it in his hand to read through it.

The booklet felt very stiff and had a strong smell. It was a new sheepskin manuscript. Olanke couldn't help but speak again.

"I don't know if it's luck or unlucky, but this fighting skill is the only one the Edes family is willing to trade for."

"Is it my mother's family?"

Odin immediately put down the book in his hand, raised his head and asked.

"That's right, the Edes family is one of the only two marquis families in the Danube Principality, inheriting the powerful water-based fighting spirit bloodline.

As for why they have ice fighting skills in their hands, it’s not surprising. Collecting good things is a common feature of all families, even if they can’t use them.”

"Then what's the terms of the exchange?"

"Haha, the exchange condition is very simple, that is, you must accept the invitation to attend the Lake Island Banquet held every three years by the Edes family. My mother took us there once when we were young. You were still young at that time, so you may not remember it.

Father made the decision for you and agreed. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Besides, you are an adult and it's time to socialize around. It's not a problem to always stay in the castle and pamper the maid."

Olank might have been suffocating at Bloodhoof Castle. After entering the castle, he started talking non-stop. It took him a whole morning to send him away.

Looking at the unloaded supplies all over the floor, most of them are goods and drinks that need to be replenished in the mercenary tavern, and a small part are supplies needed by the castle.

The money he owed Olanke had been paid off when he came here for the third time, and he had saved a lot now, so he simply updated the things in the castle.

Twenty-four fist-sized luminous stones, several sets of sterling silver tableware, various fine furniture, etc. Butler Modi will be busy for a while.

After taking care of the butler, Odin returned to the living room, opened the book on the table again, and murmured.

"Snow Contract. Construct a special contract magic circle to cultivate an ice elemental elf, raise it and become a partner. How can you actually have such fighting skills?"

The back pages of the booklet indicate the style of the magic array and the required materials, most of which are the most basic materials for setting up the array.

The only difficulty is that it requires a large amount of ice elemental magic cores or magic materials containing ice elements. This is not easy to obtain. How much it costs depends on how much it costs. The main reason is that it is simply not available on the market.

As for the probability of successful cultivation, there was no explanation in the booklet about the uses of elves, which left Odin speechless.

According to his understanding, elemental elves are a kind of magical life, extremely rare, much rarer than filthy creatures.

The human race knows very little about the elves, and only the elves know some information about the elves.

I heard that every elf king must be recognized by the elemental elf of the wood attribute in order to be qualified to ascend the throne.

As for the ice elemental elves, no one has heard of them.

There is also the lake island banquet of the Edes family mentioned by Orank. Odin found nothing after looking through the memory of the original owner. It is probably because he was too young at the time.

However, he still knew a little about the Edes family. They were a powerful marquis family in the Danube Principality, and the head of the family was a knight of the earth.

While Odin was thinking, Kunas and Ruvid came. Today is the day to report on government affairs.

"Kunas, do you know about the Lake Center Island Banquet?"

"Sir, the Lake Center Island Banquet is a large-scale banquet held by the Edes family every three years, and it is very popular in the Danube Principality."

"Oh! Why, why have I never heard of it?"

"Ahem... Sir, the Lake Center Island Banquet is for the heirs of nobles who are over sixteen years old, whose strength is Silver level or above (including Silver), and they must be unmarried.

The minimum standard for invitations is to be from a hereditary baron family. You were underage before, so you don't know how normal it is."

"It's just a banquet, why does it have to be so complicated?" Odin was puzzled.

"Due to bloodline reasons, the children of the Edes family are born with more girls than boys, and the girls are all beautiful in appearance and temperament.

The original purpose of holding the Lake Center Island Banquet was that the Edes family specifically selected outstanding noble knight seeds for marriage, in order to strengthen the family's strength.

After a hundred years of continuous inheritance, the banquet on the island in the center of the lake has become bigger and bigger. It has broken away from the scope of a certain family and has become the default marriage banquet for the upper class circles of the entire Danube Principality.

Whenever a banquet begins on the island in the middle of the lake, almost all the families in the Danube River will send their outstanding heirs suitable for marriage to attend the party.

There are also many small nobles who are willing to try their luck. Even if these young noble men and women cannot meet the requirements of those big families, they can still make choices among other families and choose suitable partners."

"Good guy, it turns out this is a nationwide blind date conference. Since it's open, why did you invite me to go there? Are you worried that I won't come?"

"Sir Otis got the favor of the Edes family at the banquet on the island in the middle of the lake and married your mother. You are half of the blood of the Edes family.

The subordinates speculate that you should be attending the banquet on behalf of the Edes family to boost its momentum.

With your strength, I believe that you will be the final winner of the duel in the middle of the lake."

…

After some detailed questions and answers, Odin finally figured out the situation of the banquet on the island in the middle of the lake.

The Lake Island Banquet is held every three years on an island in the lake owned by the Edes family.

The banquet has developed to the present and has become a large-scale banquet across the country. The entire banquet is divided into two parts: internal and external parts.

The outer layer is the heirs of hereditary families whose strength is not up to standard, or the knights who meet the requirements but are not hereditary nobles.

Here they also have to compete with each other, and they also have the opportunity to be favored by the lady (knight) of the big family and get rid of their status.

On the inner floor are the outstanding heirs of hereditary families who fully meet the conditions. It can be said that they are the future of the Danube Principality and are the marriage partners that the major families are competing for.

At the same time, noble ladies from major families participating in the conference will also become the candidates for these outstanding seeds. They can choose their favorite ones to communicate or dance with according to their own conditions.

This is a two-way and multi-way choice.

Finally, there was the most eye-catching part of the entire banquet, the duel in the middle of the lake.

There is no prize for the winner, fame and prestige are the biggest prizes in themselves.

What's more, being prominent in the entire upper Danube circle means that you can easily establish personal connections and be attracted by major families for investment.

All in all, the Huxin Island Banquet is a must-see for nobles who want to go further.
