Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"What's wrong?"

Gordon tidied up the things on the table, pondering to himself:

Could it be that the transfer of the title has been settled?

However, Orianna's next answer disappointed him somewhat.

"My lord, the special envoy sent by Viscount Wolf has arrived, so I would like to invite you to come with me to take a look. Without you by my side, I always feel a little..."

"special envoy?"

Gordon thought for a moment and quickly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

However, he wasn't particularly concerned about Viscount Wolf sending people to investigate the matter.

After all, he was one of the founding fathers of the Kingdom of Rune.

If this had happened more than a thousand years ago, let alone a special envoy, even a viscount probably wouldn't have been qualified to see him.

Moreover, Gordon believed that the matter in Bren Village had been handled very meticulously and should not have revealed any clues.

But since Orianna has spoken up, we should at least give her face.

"All right."

Gordon said with a hint of helplessness:

"However, you will need to learn to handle these things on your own later."

There are many occasions where it's inconvenient for me to appear, since my current status is merely that of a patron from the Thorne family.

  

This is Gordon's honest opinion.

Because in his mind, he should always be behind the scenes.

Then, by relying on the family cultivation system, they continuously nurture family members and strengthen the overall strength of the family, thereby enabling them to recover their cultivation level more quickly and even reach higher realms.

If given the opportunity, I would like to delve deeper into the wizarding civilization of this world, and see if I can reach a level I never achieved in my previous life.

This is all that Gordon is currently pursuing.

"I understand, Ancestor."

Orianna lowered her head and said with some shame.

During this period, whether it was investigating the cause of Baron Cade's death, uncovering the schemes of the Parker and Hoover families, or even eliminating the Roland family's greatest threat in Bren Village, it was all orchestrated by Gordon.

As the head of the Roland family, she was of almost no help whatsoever.

This made Orianna feel somewhat guilty.

"Alright, stop overthinking."

Gordon patted Orianna on the head: "Come with me to meet this special envoy and see what good news he can bring us."

……

……

At this moment, a few dim candles were burning in the lord's hall of the Roland family castle.

This lord's hall once had a very glorious history.

The towering dome, the weathered family crest, and the tapestries on the walls that record the Roland family's illustrious military achievements.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, these past glories have faded.

Even the tapestries and portraits were covered in dust, looking as if they hadn't been wiped or cleaned in a long time.

Owen Castle looked at the shabby and dilapidated hall before him and couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly.

As Viscount Wolf's special envoy, he had already heard about it before arriving at Blackwater Valley.

The Roland family was once a glorious family with a history spanning a thousand years.

However, it was only when he actually stepped into the castle that he truly understood the current state of the family.

An empty and simple castle, a desolate territory, lazy soldiers, and lifeless servants.

All of this seemed to be showing the world that this ancient family had no chance of revival.

Owen Castle, who was originally tasked with investigating the Brenville massacre, was still worried about whether the Roland family was involved in this horrific massacre.

But after seeing the current state of the Roland family, this last bit of doubt vanished.

Based on the recent investigation results, he can now confirm:

The Hoover family suffered such a devastating attack, which was probably just an accident, or perhaps they offended someone they shouldn't have...

However, just as Owen Castle was deep in thought, he suddenly felt someone tug at the corner of his clothes.

"Lord Caster, the Roland family has arrived."

Owen Castle looked up and saw a girl with a golden ponytail, who looked no older than seventeen or eighteen, leading two tall knights through the back door.

Upon seeing this scene, Owen Castle's eyes twitched involuntarily. He recognized the girl in the middle almost instantly; she must be Oriana Roland, the current head of the Roland family.

The two knights behind them were probably the Roland family's knights.

"well……"

Owen Castle sighed softly to himself.

It seems the Roland family truly has no one left.

This is quite similar to the current situation of the Hoover family...

I just don't know how many more troops the Viscount will need to send to support Blackwater Valley if the "Blood Moon Crisis" worsens.

"Hello, Your Excellency Caster."

While he was pondering, Orianna had already arrived in front of him.

Orianna was dressed in a formal gown, which, combined with her smooth blonde hair, made her even more radiant.

"Hello, Miss Oriana."

Owen Castle gave the other man only a brief look before returning the greeting.

Orianna was, after all, a noblewoman, and had received special training from Baron Kate since childhood, so she was quite proficient in the most basic etiquette.

After showing Owen Castle a tour of the castle, the two entered the meeting room used for receiving distinguished guests.

Out of courtesy, Owen Castle did not bring all his guards, but only a rather tall female knight.

Behind Orianna stood the old knight Granger, and Gordon, who appeared as Gordon Valentine.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

After taking a sip of hot tea, Owen Castle smiled and said.

"Miss Oriana, as you probably know, I am here on the orders of the Viscount to investigate the attack on Baron Hoover."

Upon hearing this, Oriana couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because she knew very well that the incident in Bren Village was orchestrated by the Roland family.

Thinking of this, Oriana couldn't help but glance at Gordon behind her.

This tiny movement did not escape the eyes of Irving Castle.

Fortunately, he didn't dwell on this detail and quickly continued:

"The incident at Bren Village has greatly angered the Viscount."

Fortunately, the investigation has yielded some results.

Based on the information I currently have, the mastermind behind this attack is likely a shaman who has been lurking near Blackwater Valley for many years.

Hearing the envoy's assessment of the incident, Orianna breathed a sigh of relief, but outwardly she maintained a facade of composure.

"A wild wizard? That's incredible."

The special envoy sighed softly, nodded, and said in a somewhat solemn tone:

"yes……

It's hard to imagine that this wild wizard would cause such a massacre in order to create undead puppets.

"Crafting undead golems?"

Upon hearing the envoy's words, not only Oriana but also Gordon was momentarily stunned.

The special envoy nodded and said:

You probably don't know this yet, do you?

The day after the Bren Village incident, a large number of corpses disappeared from the battlefield, and traces of necromancy were left at the scene.

However, please rest assured that Viscount Wolf takes this matter very seriously.

and……

We have now tracked down the whereabouts of this wild sorcerer hiding in Blackwater Valley.
