Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch
Chapter 22 Returning Home in Glory
Vera's words immediately caused everyone present to gasp in shock.
They were well aware of the value of an enchanted item.
however……
There were ten sets of enchanted equipment laid out in front of everyone!
This is just too outrageous...
Recalling Orianna's words, everyone's gaze turned to the unfamiliar knight who had concealed his appearance behind his armor.
Meanwhile, Vera and Aubert, who were closest to the knight, also noticed that the knight's armor seemed to have been "enchanted".
Who exactly is this knight named Gordon...?
This question couldn't help but arise in everyone's mind.
What kind of person would directly donate something so precious?
Are the rumors all true?
Does Orianna really have a close relationship with the young master of some noble family?
Compared to the shock of Vera and the others, the older Jess and Granger were much calmer.
Looking at the enchanted equipment scattered all over the ground, Jess was thinking about something else entirely.
"Um... Orianna, I wanted to ask... I mean, why would this... Lord Gordon want to help us..."
Also, who exactly is he?
It's not surprising that Jayce was so cautious.
After all, in his memory, Oriana had always been very innocent and kind.
But what if this Mr. Gordon has ulterior motives?
Wouldn't that actually be detrimental to the Roland family?
Oriana was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Gordon's identity?
Are you suggesting we tell everyone that he was actually an ancestor of the Roland family?
Fortunately, Gordon spoke up at this moment:
"My full name is Gordon Valentine, a family knight of the Thorne family in the province of Puglia."
Although a long time has passed, our two families' ancestors maintained a good relationship hundreds of years ago.
Several months ago, Baron Cade contacted us, hoping to get some assistance to deal with the monster tide caused by the "Blood Moon Crisis".
Unfortunately... by the time we replied to Baron Cade, he had already sacrificed himself while fulfilling his duties as lord...
On behalf of the Thorne family, please allow me to express our condolences to you all.
As Gordon finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jess, in particular, didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he believed it to some extent.
Because judging from the knight's manner of speaking, his words did not seem like a lie, and the logic was sound...
And most importantly, he had actually heard of the "Thorne family".
"Ah, no... we should be thanking the nobles..."
Jess Rowland quickly said.
After his initial doubts, Jess decided to put them aside, since no one would want to mess with a complete set of enchanted equipment.
Through the gap in his helmet, Gordon looked at the ten family members chosen by Orianna and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
In his view, although these people were extremely loyal to the family, their strength was simply lacking...
The only consolation was that he discovered a few family members among these people who possessed the aptitude for cultivating immortality.
Family member: Obert Rowland
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Aptitude: Fourth-grade spiritual root
Cultivation level: Not yet entered
Destiny: Sword Heart Clear
Family member: Vera Loren
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Aptitude: Second-class spiritual root
Cultivation level: Not yet entered
Fate: None
Second-class spiritual root...
"Sword Heart Clarity" Destiny...
Gordon was somewhat surprised by the information that appeared before him.
So it seems the Roland family has a pretty good lineage!
Even with only such a small bloodline remaining, there are still three individuals with spiritual roots in this generation...
With the ability to share Qi Sea, as long as these three people can embark on the path of cultivation, it will greatly benefit the progress of my own cultivation recovery.
Gordon watched as the group before him, oblivious to everything else, enthusiastically tried enchanting their equipment, and began to make his own plans:
Ok……
Now we have the equipment and personnel.
The framework for the family's future development has also been established.
At the current rate, after some time, both I and Orianna should be able to break through to the second level of Reverse Qi.
When that time comes...
This way, all threats around the territory can be eliminated at once.
And as long as he has complete control over this Blackwater Valley.
Perhaps we could even establish a wizarding world version of a "cultivation sect" here.
……
……
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
For most of the Roland family, these past ten days or so were no different from any other day.
Everything was very peaceful.
The extremely simple ceremony for the founding of the "Knights" that took place in the castle's basement remained unknown to anyone.
However, unlike the "dead and silent" Roland family...
The other side of Blackwater Valley presents a completely different atmosphere.
"Hahaha, Daniel, my dear son, you're finally back!"
Inside the Hoover family's castle, the lights were on full display, and neatly dressed soldiers stood on both sides. A long, bright red carpet ran through the middle of the lord's hall and extended all the way to the main gate.
The most distinguished person in the castle—Baron Hoover—was already waiting in the center of the hall, dressed in fine clothes.
To the strains of a bard's lute, a handsome young man in a grey robe walked in with a smile and his head held high.
Under the lights, a silver badge on the man's chest gleamed, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.
Daniel Hoover.
Baron Hoover's eldest son, a second-class wizarding apprentice of the Red Keep School.
In fact, he doesn't even need to be the son of a baron; the title of "Second-Level Wizard Apprentice" alone is enough to give him a good position in the Kingdom of Rune.
"Father."
Daniel stopped in front of Baron Hoover, a slight bow on his lips with a smile:
"I'm just going home for the holidays, why make such a big fuss? It's such a waste."
Although Daniel said that, he was secretly very pleased with himself.
He has now become the highest-ranking person in the family, and even shows signs of surpassing his father.
This feeling of being praised is something that can never be experienced within the wizarding school...
In his remote hometown, a second-level wizard apprentice was probably an unattainable goal for most.
However, within the Red Keep School, he was merely a lowly apprentice at the very bottom, and could easily be used as fertilizer for offending a powerful wizard.
Of course, now that we're back in the family territory, we should enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
Baron Hoover grew increasingly fond of his wizard apprentice son.
As a nobleman, he certainly knew how much a wizard apprentice could bring to the family.
Although he now needs the entire clan to support him, if Daniel is fortunate enough to become a formal wizard in the future, the family's status in the kingdom will soar.
He even had the chance to be granted the title of Earl!
Earl...
That's something that countless minor nobles dream of.
Of course, Baron Hoover was also well aware that the path of a wizard was extremely dangerous.
Even if Daniel has good aptitude, he may not be able to become a formal wizard in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of the family's interests, it would be best if the Hoover family could produce two or three more wizard apprentices.
This will greatly increase the probability of success.
If they're lucky enough, the Hoover family might one day become a true "wizard family"!
The reason for calling Daniel back this time, besides dealing with the Roland family next door, was also to let them see if there were any other members in the family who were suitable to study at the wizarding school.
Thinking of this, Baron Hoover said:
"Come on, Daniel, your mother and your younger siblings are waiting for you in the banquet hall."
This is a sumptuous feast, guaranteed to satisfy you!
They were well aware of the value of an enchanted item.
