Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Even the seasoned knight Granger, who had seen countless battles, was somewhat horrified by what he saw.

Is this the power of witchcraft...?

He thought to himself.

Whether it was the battle of Bren Village before, the undead before him, or the endless wind blades that resembled a raging storm, all of these made Granger realize once again how terrifying the wizards were.

It's no wonder that wizards are the most prominent group in the world.

But in any case, the immediate crisis had been resolved, and the old knight breathed a sigh of relief.

He clenched his fist and found that his hands under the arm armor were already sweating.

"Mr. Gordon, thank you for your help."

The old knight spoke while turning around.

However, when he turned around, he was stunned, because he found that everyone was looking at Orianna, who was pale and had her hand half raised, in addition to Gordon.

Seeing this strange scene, an idea suddenly popped into the mind of the old knight Granger.

Is it...

Sure enough, before he could even ask, a Blackwater Knight, his face beaming with excitement, stammered:

"Oh... Lady Oriana, were you using witchcraft just now?!"

witchcraft?

At this moment, the old knight Granger was finally filled with shock.

Were those wind blades released by Orianna?

No... how could that be?

When did Orianna learn witchcraft?

Faced with everyone's questions, Orianna blushed and stammered as she admitted it.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the old knight Granger was finally able to confirm that the wind blade just now was indeed released by Oriana and the Gordon knight together.

However, contrary to Orianna's expectations, the Blackwater Knights around her did not continue to question her, but instead cheered:

"Excellent! Our Roland family has finally produced a wizard!"

"See! I told you! Our Lady Oriana is a genius!"

"By the way, Lady Oriana, is the wandering merchant who sold you those wizarding books still around?"

"Idiot! This was clearly taught by Lord Gordon, what does it have to do with that liar?"

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and even one or two bolder Blackwater Knights began to walk towards Gordon, asking if they could also learn some witchcraft.

It's no wonder they were so excited.

After all, in the Kingdom of Rune, knights, though revered superhumans, were ultimately far inferior to those mysterious and unpredictable wizards...

  

It should be noted that even the lowest-ranking wizard apprentice is enough to be treated as an honored guest by many noble families.

But now, they have witnessed their patriarch, Oriana Roland, personally casting a spell in front of them!

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Orianna changed slightly.

In the past, their loyalty to Oriana was merely because she was the heir to the Roland family…

Ultimately, Orianna was still too young; she hadn't awakened her power seed, nor had she experienced a truly brutal battlefield.

Therefore, in the hearts of many members of the Blackwater Knights, although they were willing to fight for Orianna, it was more out of loyalty to the Roland family.

But now everything is different.

Everyone suddenly realized that the young lord in front of them was not the weak girl who needed their protection at all.

Instead, it possesses extremely powerful strength...

Looking at the excited crowd before her, Orianna felt a sensation she had never experienced before.

For a long time, she had considered herself a failure.

She failed to awaken the seed of power and become a knight, nor could she protect Uncle Cade, nor could she stop the decline of the Roland family.

So when she first inherited the family business, she always felt that fate had pushed her into a position that didn't belong to her.

Even the later exposure of Parker's conspiracy and the help of the Roland family to annex the Hoover family's territory were all planned by Gordon and had nothing to do with her.

For a long time, she had been like an observer.

But now, she has used her power to save Granger and the members of the Blackwater Knights.

This also made Oriana realize for the first time that the powers Gordon had taught her could truly be used to change the fate of her family.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

At this moment, Orianna deliberately put on a serious face and said...

"We are not yet out of danger. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you saw today."

"Please rest assured, my lord! We will absolutely keep our mouths shut!"

A Blackwater Knight quickly replied.

As the most loyal members of the entire family, they certainly knew what Oriana meant.

It's important to know that Orianna never formally studied at a wizarding school, yet she learned how to use witchcraft...

If this matter gets out, it will definitely attract attention from the outside world, which is not a good thing for the Roland family right now.

Compared to the excited crowd, the old knight Granger was shocked inside, but on the surface he maintained his composure.

He didn't say much, but gave Orianna and Gordon beside her a deep look.

He had no idea whether Orianna's sorcery was taught by this mysterious knight.

But in any case, it's a good thing that the current lord of the Roland family has become powerful.

And if Cade were still alive, he would probably feel incredibly proud to see this scene...

However, before everyone could fully recover from their complex emotions, a very faint sound suddenly came from deep within the mine.

"Could there be spirits of the dead?"

One of the Blackwater Knights asked somewhat nervously.

"Rustle and rustle..."

The sound came again, but this time everyone could tell that it was different from the sound of the undead running earlier.

It sounded like something was frantically crawling in the dark.

"They're trying to escape!"

Gordon's voice came through.

"Trying to run away?"

Orianna was taken aback for a moment, but then she realized what she meant: "You mean the guy who controls these undead?"

Goton nodded:

"Corpses don't come back to life on their own..."

It is believed that the one who manipulated them was the wild wizard hiding in the Blackwater Valley.

Wild wizard...

The expressions of those present became more serious, and they began to look at each other in bewilderment.

However, at this moment, Gordon had already taken the lead and walked deeper into the mine.

"Wait, Lord Gordon, are you preparing to go in alone?"

Upon seeing this, Granger immediately stepped forward and stopped the other party.

"certainly."

Gordon nodded.

Granger frowned:

"My lord Gordon, no offense intended."

While you are indeed very powerful, if, as you say, the other party is a wild wizard, then this is all far too risky...

We should report this to Viscount Wolf.

Let him come and handle it.
