Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Rain fell from the night sky, extinguishing the flames that had shot into the sky over Buren Village.

The smell of burning wood, rotting corpses, and blood mingled together, creating a nauseating odor.

This sudden war did not last long.

At this moment, the open space in Bren Village was filled with corpses.

The group included guards from Bren Village, some villagers who had been killed in the resistance, but mostly mercenaries from the Ashenvale Mercenary Group and soldiers under Baron Hoover…

More than 200 people...

More than 200 well-trained soldiers from the Hoover family were completely wiped out, with not a single one surviving.

Surprisingly, this group also included six extraordinary knights, Daniel, a wizard apprentice, and Baron Hoover himself.

Of course, the reason why such a great victory was achieved this time was inseparable from Baron Hoover's "help".

Baron Hoover truly lived up to his reputation as a "high knight," especially with the enchanted longsword in his hand.

He almost single-handedly slaughtered the few remaining extraordinary knights under his command.

This also made Gordon realize the huge gap between spellcasters like cultivators and wizards and ordinary extraordinary beings like extraordinary knights.

Of course, what truly helped Gordon achieve this major victory was the secret technique he had just acquired.

As a cultivator, there is a huge difference in mental strength between him and combat professionals like Hoover. Therefore, even though Gordon is only at the second level of Qi Refining, he can easily control targets whose strength is higher than his own.

Thinking of this, Gordon stepped forward, squatted down, and began to search for spoils from Baron Hoover and Daniel with great interest.

Especially Daniel.

As a member of the orthodox wizarding school in this world, he must possess many valuable items, which will become an important window for him to further study the wizarding civilization of this world.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Just then, a familiar yet angry voice rang out.

Gordon looked up and saw that it was Parker, whose face was covered in blood, being lifted up by Granger and brought here.

Parker was in a terrible state at this point. His armor was shattered, and his skin was covered in wounds, but thankfully, he was not in mortal danger.

  

Because Gordon, Granger, and the others were all wearing masks, Parker did not recognize them.

With a "bang".

Parker was thrown to the ground like a chick.

He struggled for a moment before raising his terrified eyes and asking in a trembling voice, "Who are you people?"

After saying that, he glanced subconsciously at the corpses of Baron Hoover and Daniel on the ground, and a chill ran down his spine.

The tall, unfamiliar knight's behavior just now filled him with extreme fear...

From his perspective, the other party, with just one sentence, made Baron Hoover seem to lose his mind and turn to attack his own people!

He had initially suspected that the Roland family might be involved in the attack, or that his plans might have been leaked...

But at present, this seems absolutely impossible.

Because those who possess this power...

It could only be those powerful, mysterious, and mad wizards.

At this moment, Parker finally understood why the Grey Gu mercenary group had suddenly turned against him.

But the problem is...

Which organization does this wizard belong to?

Why did they do that?

Keep in mind that Baron Hoover was just a minor baron in Blackwater Valley.

Let alone these powerful wizards...

Even among all the nobles in the Kingdom of Rune, Baron Hoover was just an insignificant figure.

How could they have provoked such a powerful and terrifying opponent?

However, it's no use saying all this now.

At this moment, Parker felt only deep resentment.

After all, he was just a little short of achieving his goal.

Thinking of this, the image of his mother, Britney, flashed before his eyes...

Gordon had no idea what Parker was thinking. He simply glanced down at the young prospective knight who was determined to destroy the Roland family, and then said to Granger:

"You can handle it yourself."

In Gordon's eyes, Parker was just a nobody, not worth bothering with at all.

After saying this, he left with the items he had taken from Baron Hoover and Daniel.

Granger did not respond, but quietly watched Gordon's departing figure.

His feelings at that moment were incredibly complex.

The old knight was almost certain that the knight who claimed to be from the Thorne family and named Gordon Valindin was the same guy he had noticed hiding in the room when he helped Orianna move her belongings to the top floor.

But he never expected that the true identity of this Knight Gordon was actually a wizard apprentice.

Why would the other party lie and claim to be a knight?

What was his purpose in approaching Orianna?

Could it be, as Oriana said, that she only supports the Roland family because of the friendship between the two families back then?

Having spent many years in the arena of power, the old knight would never have such naive thoughts.

But unfortunately...

Even if the other party had some special purpose, there was nothing he could do at this moment.

Moreover, it was precisely with the help of the other party's power that they were able to thwart the conspiracy between Parker and Baron Hoover, and even obtain these 10 sets of enchanted equipment.

This was like sending charcoal in snowy weather for the Roland family at that time.

Thinking of this, Granger couldn't help but look at the corpses of Baron Hoover and Daniel at his feet, and sighed inwardly.

He had a vague feeling that the Roland family was probably mired in a quagmire, and that their peaceful life, which had lasted for more than a hundred years, was about to be completely shattered...

……

……

A few days later, news of Baron Hoover's attack by an unknown wizard quickly spread. This caused quite a stir in the territories near Blackwater Valley.

In fact, at the very beginning, people did have doubts about whether the Roland family was involved in this matter.

After all, the relationship between the two families in Blackwater Valley has always been quite delicate.

However, after an investigation by the special envoy sent by Viscount Wolf, the lord shared by Oriana and Baron Hoover, the conclusion gradually became clear...

After several days of repeated investigation, this "special envoy," accompanied by more than a dozen extraordinary knights, came to a conclusion:

Baron Hoover and his eldest son Daniel were killed in an attack carried out by the Ashenvale mercenaries and a wild wizard.

Judging from the outcome of the battle and the traces at the scene, this wild wizard's rank was obviously not low; he was very likely a third-level wizard apprentice.

The reason why the other party attacked Baron Hoover's territory is currently unknown.

Out of a sense of duty as a lord, Viscount Wolf still sent a special envoy to the Roland family's castle to inform Oriana of the findings of the investigation.
