Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

However, after figuring out the principles behind "enchanted equipment" in this world, he still couldn't help but shake his head.

"What's wrong... Ancestor? Is there a problem?"

Oriana, of course, had no idea what Gordon was thinking.

Seeing the other person shake their head, she immediately became nervous.

After all, Baron Cade spent a fortune to buy this suit of armor.

If you buy counterfeit goods... that would be a huge blow.

Gordon shook his head, not because the enchanted armor itself had any quality issues.

Instead, they were lamenting that if wizards in this world continued to enchant items in this way, their potential would likely be far less than that of "artifact crafting."

The reason why "weapon crafting" was the most valued "cultivation skill" by cultivators in the previous life was that, in addition to imbuing magical artifacts with "restrictions," it could also refine "artifact spirits" and infuse them into them.

For magical artifacts, treasures, and even immortal artifacts, the effects of "artifact spirits" often far outweigh those of "restrictions."

Furthermore, even just looking at the [Sturdy] rune on this armor...

Its production method is far too crude...

"There's no problem..."

Gordon's words immediately put Oriana at ease.

However, he immediately followed up with:

"But the wizard apprentice who made this enchanted armor was really bad."

"……what?"

Oriana was stunned by Gordon's words.

She clearly hadn't expected her ancestor to come to such a conclusion.

"Alright, today I'll teach you how to properly enchant items."

How to properly enchant an item?

Orianna was somewhat confused.

She had thought it was already quite an achievement that her ancestor had taught her some "basic" meditation and witchcraft.

But I never expected that the other party would also know how to enchant items...

But wasn't his ancestor a legendary knight?

How did he come to know so much about the wizarding world?

  

Gordon did not offer any further explanation.

To allow Orianna to see more clearly.

He once again gathered a wisp of spiritual energy from his dantian, which slowly overflowed from the tip of his fingertip and was reinjected into the armor.

The next moment, the patterns on the armor surface became even clearer.

"Do you see those? There are bright dots on the surface of the armor?"

Orianna leaned down to look, then nodded emphatically.

"This is the most important part of connecting the magic circuit."

Gordon did not elaborate on this point.

Although he inherited the memories of the legendary knight, he had a basic understanding of some aspects of the wizarding world.

But he was not a wizard after all, so naturally he couldn't be proficient in rune literature.

Therefore, to avoid giving himself away, Gordon changed the subject and said:

"I think you've probably already noticed that the [Sturdy] rune on this enchanted armor is obviously a bit too complicated for a basic rune."

Redundant nodes, overlapping loops... these problems can cause magic to be wasted during operation, thus affecting the effectiveness and lifespan of runes.

Therefore, to maximize the effectiveness of this enchanted armor, we should adopt a different approach.

Too complicated?

Orianna blinked, not daring to utter a sound.

Because in the occult books she had read in the past, almost all of them that mentioned "spellbooks" made the same assertion:

That is, the more intricate and complex the runes are constructed, the stronger the final effect will be.

In many cases, this has even become an important means for some wizards to show off their skills.

Gordon also noticed Oriana's reaction.

He coughed slightly, somewhat awkwardly, and then continued:

"Actually, the best way to enchant is not to imprint the so-called runes on the surface of the item, but to embed them inside the item. This method has a special name, which I call 'enchantment'."

"Prohibition..."

Oriana tried to imitate Gordon's pronunciation, but her voice came out very awkward.

"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gordon stretched out his withered, bony hand and made various strange gestures in front of him.

However, just as Oriana was quite puzzled by Gordon's strange behavior...

She suddenly realized that the spiritual energy in the surrounding air was constantly gathering towards Gordon's hands!

Immediately afterwards, she keenly sensed that the faint spiritual energy gathered between Gordon's hands seemed to be operating according to a certain pattern, thus forming a stable power circuit.

"This is……"

Orianna frowned deeply.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

But in the next second, she suddenly realized:

Wait a minute, isn't this the "Wizard Rune" that can enchant all sorts of items?!

However, compared to the [Sturdy] rune on that enchanted armor, the power flow between Gordon's hands appeared much simpler and more refined...

Most importantly, this power loop wasn't drawn directly on the armor like the [Sturdy] rune; instead, it appeared out of thin air!

Could this be the "restriction" that Lord Gordon spoke of?

This is absolutely incredible!

Orianna was initially skeptical of Gordon's claim that he would "demonstrate the enchantments."

But now, even that last bit of doubt has vanished.

At this moment, Oriana was filled with shock and admiration.

Looking at Gordon, who had traveled from a thousand years ago, only one thought remained in her mind:

How many secrets does my ancestor still hold?

Thinking back to the family cemetery, there was a tombstone covered in moss.

The document clearly records Gordon Rowland's time of death—at the age of 45.

She could hardly believe that a legendary knight as powerful, mysterious, and omnipotent as Gordon would die unexpectedly at the prime of his life...

What exactly happened at that time?

What was the reason that our ancestors were resurrected after traveling more than a thousand years?

At this moment, Gordon had no idea that his little "demonstration" had actually set the quick-thinking Orianna off in a state of endless speculation.

For him, it was nothing more than teaching the other party some basic "weapon-refining techniques" so that he could recover his cultivation level more quickly...

However, as he continued to build the "restriction," the spiritual energy in his dantian was being consumed rapidly.

"Did you see it clearly?"

Gordon turned to Oriana and asked, his voice somewhat hurried.

Although he had recovered some of his cultivation by relying on the [Family Cultivation] system, he had also obtained a level of weapon crafting far exceeding that of his previous life through the [Heavenly Dao Book Pavilion].

However, he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea was limited.

In order to make Orianna see the [Defense Barrier] he had created clearly, he was now struggling a bit, and even his arms began to tremble slightly.

However, Orianna was clearly unaware of this.

She assumed the other person was urging her to look more closely.

So he leaned forward and observed carefully.

"Did you see clearly?"

Gordon's voice became even more urgent.

"I...I'm watching..."

Orianna was startled and quickly replied.

"I'm asking you whether you saw it clearly or not?!"

Oriana was somewhat at a loss.

She didn't know why her ancestor had suddenly become so angry.

Do you want me to explain the difference between this and the [Sturdy] rune on the armor?

Thinking of this, Orianna steadied herself, moved even closer, and squinted to look more closely.

At this time, the effects of her destiny, "knowing ten things from one," gradually became apparent.

The power circuit in Gordon's hand, operating according to a specific pattern, seemed to be gradually becoming clearer...

Orianna could even vaguely sense the flow and direction of spiritual energy within this [restriction], as well as a tiny, indescribable power that touched upon the "rules"...
