Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

[A spirit ore that can be refined has been identified. Do you wish to use a spirit ore refinement attempt?]

"yes!"

Gordon made his choice without the slightest hesitation.

The next second, he felt that the spiritual energy in the mine seemed to become much denser.

Congratulations! You have successfully used "Spirit Ore Enchanting"!

[Hun Yuan Stone Mine (Lv1) → Hun Yuan Stone Mine (Lv2)]

[Effect: Increases the annual output of spirit ore by 10%, and improves the quality of the produced mixed-element stones by 10%!]

Looking at the words before him, Gordon was overjoyed.

Without a doubt, with this level 2 Chaos Stone Mine, he will be able to reliably produce enough materials to craft magical artifacts.

In the future, we might even be able to use the Primordial Stone to make several alchemy furnaces to refine elixirs.

Gordon believed that after some time, he would be able to build a knightly legion of over a hundred men, all of whom would be wearing enchanted equipment!

At that time, let alone the small Blackwater Valley.

Even looking at the entire Viscount territory, there is probably no one who can rival the Roland family!

However, before that, the spirit mine must be put back into production.

Thinking of this, Gordon couldn't help but turn to Oriana and say:

"I think this mine is still quite valuable. Let's send trusted people here as soon as possible to restart mining operations."

Gordon didn't spell it out, but Oriana understood what he meant.

So she tentatively asked, "How about I have Aubert and Vera take over the mine?"

Obert and Vera?

That's a pretty good candidate...

Gordon nodded, immediately agreeing with Orianna's arrangement.

After all, these two are the only two people in the Roland family besides Oriana who possess the aptitude for cultivation.

Since he intended to make this mine his secret cultivation base, it was the most appropriate thing for them to take over the mine.

However, just as Gordon was about to say something, Granger's voice suddenly rang out from the side:

"Hush! Quiet!"

Everyone immediately and instinctively looked towards Granger.

At this moment, Granger looked solemn, slightly bent over, his eyes fixed on the depths of the dark mine, as if he were listening carefully and trying to discern something.

The atmosphere started to get strange...

However, at this moment, Gordon also realized that something was wrong.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

In the silence, several strange sounds suddenly came from the depths of the mine.

This made everyone present feel somewhat uneasy.

With a "whoosh" sound.

Several members of the Blackwater Knights drew their swords almost simultaneously and surrounded Orianna.

As for the tour guide, his face had already turned deathly pale, and his legs were beginning to tremble slightly.

"What...what is that sound...?"

In his mind, the mine should have been deserted long ago.

"Damn it... Could some monster have sneaked in and made this place its lair?"

Upon hearing the guide's words, the old knight Granger's face darkened.

This is indeed a very reasonable explanation.

Moreover, as far as he knew, a monster that dared to invade human territory and use a clearly developed mine as its lair was definitely not of low rank.

Thinking of this, he turned to a member of the Blackwater Knights beside him and said, "Give me the shield."

Upon hearing this, the Blackwater Knights member immediately handed Granger a heavy, massive shield that he was carrying on his back.

Clang!

The giant shield landed with a metallic clang.

Granger, clad in knight's armor, now resembled a fortress.

He held a giant shield in front of the crowd, his eyes fixed intently on what lay ahead.

Time ticked by, and the muffled sound grew ever closer.

Director Xiang was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He covered his mouth tightly with both hands, trying his best not to make a sound.

Meanwhile, the Blackwater Knights members responsible for protecting Orianna were also nervously watching ahead...

Although these members of the Blackwater Knights were chosen by Orianna and given enchanted equipment because of their loyalty to the family.

However, none of them had awakened the seed of power.

Therefore, if one were to encounter a high-level demon, the outcome would most likely be extremely dire...

"Thump!!!"

Another loud bang, but this time the sound was right next to us.

However, before everyone could react, a tall, dark figure suddenly rushed out from the depths of the mine!

"They're here!"

Granger gave a low shout, and the knights responsible for protecting Orianna almost instinctively raised their round shields.

"Bang!!!"

A dull thud suddenly echoed through the narrow mine shaft!

Upon impact with this dark figure, Granger, who possessed the strength of a high-ranking knight, was actually forced to slide back half a step, his boots carving two tracks in the gravel ground.

However, at this moment, the enchanted shield in his hand, crafted by Gordon himself, also emitted a faint halo, forcefully blocking most of the impact.

That's some real strength...

Granger's face darkened.

However, just as he was about to swing his knight's longsword at his opponent, he suddenly froze...

Under the dim light of the lamps on both sides, everyone was finally able to see the shape of the dark figure clearly...

Instantly, the entire mine fell into a deathly silence.

This is a burly man.

He was wearing a tattered suit of iron armor, with large patches of blackened bloodstains remaining on his chest and shoulders.

The exposed face was rotting, and you could even see maggots crawling and wriggling inside.

Karen!

Granger's expression changed, and he immediately recognized the man in front of him as the leader of the Grey Gu Mercenary Group.

Not only Granger, but everyone, including Gordon and Oriana, was stunned...

They never imagined that the person rushing out of the mine would be Karen, the one-eyed leader of the Gray Gu mercenary group who had already died.

"How could it be him?" A member of the Blackwater Knights looked on incredulously.

In his mind, this guy should have died in Bren Village long ago...

Looking at the bizarre scene before him, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

However, Karen, who had come back from the dead, did not give everyone much time to think.

The next moment, he suddenly let out a low roar and charged forward again.

boom!

Karen's arms slammed heavily into Granger's shield.

This time, however, the veteran Cavaliers were clearly prepared.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, dissipating most of the opponent's force. Then, he took a step to the side and swiftly thrust out his longsword, effortlessly piercing the restricted blade into the opponent's abdomen!

The movements are concise, efficient, and executed in one smooth motion, without any unnecessary delays.

"roar!!!"

Karen let out a painful scream and flailed her arms wildly.

Seeing this, Granger narrowed his eyes and increased the pressure on his hand.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced through Karen's body and embedded itself into the stone wall behind him!
