Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

"Outside! In the cave! Kuru is just..."

For some reason, the kobold suddenly became agitated again, and a bunch of strange and unfamiliar syllables burst out along with human language.

Damn it...

Gordon tried hard to decipher what the other person meant, but found it impossible.

Finally, just as his head was about to split open from the noise, he suddenly slammed his hand on the wooden table:

"Shut up!"

The kobold immediately shut its mouth, staring timidly at Gordon with innocent eyes.

Looking at the scene before him, Gordon sighed helplessly.

He then temporarily abandoned his pursuit of the notebook's origin and instead asked:

"You previously said you only understood the first three pages of this notebook?"

  

"Yes."

Speaking of this, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on Kulu's face.

"Witchcraft is very difficult; Kuru has been studying it for a long time."

The other kobolds don't even recognize human writing.

But Kuru knows a lot!

"What happens next?"

Gordon asked.

The kobold's ears suddenly drooped: "Still don't understand."

Gordon pondered for a moment, then tapped the cover of the notebook and said:

"From this moment on, you are my slave."

"No, no slaves! Kuru! Freedom!"

However, before the kobold could continue, Gordon interrupted:

"As long as you listen to me and follow my orders, I can guarantee that you will not only be able to continue studying the contents of this notebook, but I will also give you countless foods and treasures."

"Food, treasure?"

The kobold was stunned.

"That's right, I might even be able to find you a dozen or so beautiful female kobolds so you can become a kobold lord."

"Lord!"

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Kuru's eyes, and his previous expression of fear vanished. Instead, he began to jump around excitedly.

"Wolf-headed woman, lord!"

Seeing the other party's excited expression, Kuru couldn't help but feel speechless. Mark and Gordon, the Blackwater Knights, were also present.

It seems that no matter what kind of creature it is, males are naturally interested in power, wealth, and the opposite sex.

"Now you may carry out my orders."

Gordon asked.

"Kurukuru!"

The kobold nodded excitedly.

Gordon was very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed the notebook over and said:

"Your next task is to copy down everything in this notebook."

Remember, it must be word for word.

The kobold didn't understand why the human wizard in front of him wanted him to do something like that.

After all, if the other person is interested in the contents of this notebook, they can just read it directly; there's absolutely no need for this.

But remembering the promise the other party had just made, it immediately put those doubts aside and excitedly said:

"Yes, Kuru loves writing the most!"

Kuru, write it now!

As he spoke, he walked over to the wooden table.

Seeing this, Gordon looked at Mark and gave the order:

"Go find some paper and a pen."

"Yes."

Although Mark didn't know why Gordon wanted a kobold to copy the book, he quickly turned and left the room.

Mark was very efficient, and before long he returned to the alchemy workshop.

Gordon personally unchained the kobold, handed him paper and pen, and warned him:

"Don't be lazy."

Upon hearing Gordon's slightly threatening warning, Kulu's small eyes, which had been darting around, immediately became quiet.

Because he originally intended to copy less; after all, there are so many human writing systems, no one would notice if he copied one or two pages less.

But now it seems that this path is not feasible.

Thinking of this, Kuru could only lie down in front of the wooden table, pick up the quill pen, and then, in an extremely strange posture, begin to copy it stroke by stroke.

Clearly, it would be quite difficult for a kobold to write with human tools.

Three whole hours have passed, and the other party has only copied a few pages of paper. Moreover, every word on it is crooked and illegible. If you don't look closely, you can't possibly recognize it.

However, Gordon didn't care about this, because at this moment, his attention was completely drawn to the contents of the paper.

……

Another five or six days passed.

During these days, Oriana, accompanied by the old knight Granger, continued to receive the finances, military, and real estate transferred from the Foxfox family.

Gordon, on the other hand, stayed alone in this remote mixed crystal mine.

Under his personal supervision, the kobold finally finished copying nearly one-tenth of the contents of the notebook.

At this moment, Gordon was sitting in the family alchemy workshop, flipping through the scattered papers in his hands.

However, the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

He discovered that the contents of this notebook were far more valuable than he had imagined.

Because he inherited Gordon Rowland's memories, he could easily distinguish them.

Judging from the above content alone, this is indeed a notebook containing a large amount of wizarding knowledge, and its writer must have been of a high level, at least a formal wizard or above.

Because even if it's only one-tenth of the content, its level of professionalism, complexity, and breadth are absolutely beyond what a wizard apprentice could write.

Gordon even suspected that such detailed notes might even spark a bidding war among several schools of wizarding.

"Research on the Theory of Extraordinary Bloodlines and Bloodline Atlases of Some Extraordinary Species"...

This is the main title of what Kuru copied down during this period.

As the name suggests, this section is a special study of extraordinary bloodlines and also records the bloodline charts of most extraordinary creatures in the world.

Gordon only glanced at it briefly, yet he saw countless pieces of extremely valuable information…
