Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

It's okay?

Oriana was a little confused.

However, she soon seemed to suddenly realize something and understood:

"Ancestor, do you have a way to forcibly awaken my seed of power?"

That's right.

It must be like this.

The opponent is a legendary knight from a thousand years ago! He must know many secret techniques!

Orianna began to look forward to it.

If I could become a knight, I could help Uncle Cade protect this castle, and even personally punish those bandits and avenge Uncle Cade!

"No, I can't do that." Gordon shook his head.

These words instantly shattered Orianna's hopes.

But fortunately, Gordon immediately followed up with:

"However, I can help you become stronger in other ways."

"Other methods?"

  

Oriana was stunned.

"That's right, this is a secret technique passed down from ancient times, called 'Cultivation of Immortality'."

Gordon uttered two completely unfamiliar syllables.

"Cultivate...immortality?" Orianna mimicked Gordon's pronunciation, her large eyes filled with confusion.

"What does this mean?"

"Hmm... It's complicated to explain, but you can think of it as a certain school of wizardry."

Although he was a genuine cultivator, Gordon was reluctant to conflate "cultivation" with the wizarding system of this world.

But he knew in his heart that neither he nor the Roland family were too weak at the moment, so they could only hide and develop slowly, and must not be too ostentatious.

"wizard?!"

Orianna was completely shocked.

She never imagined that her legendary knight ancestor would be able to impart knowledge of the wizarding world to her...

"You, you're telling the truth?!"

Oriana's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Let's skip these pointless questions, Oriana."

Gordon stared at his shocked descendant before him:

"Soon, you will experience for yourself whether all of this is real."

……

……

This period has been tough for Parker.

Of course, it wasn't because of Baron Cade's death.

His uncle had always referred to him as a "bastard" during his lifetime.

His death was, in fact, a relief for him.

"Parker Green..."

At this moment, Parker stood in front of the dilapidated castle, whose outline still vaguely resembled its former grandeur, and jokingly uttered his own name in his heart.

Green, at least a quarter of the illegitimate children in the Kingdom of Rune have this surname.

The morning sun shines through the clouds.

The light made Parker's silver-white armor shine.

This also makes the resentment in his heart even more obvious.

Even now, Parker doesn't understand.

Why is it that even though the Roland family has fallen into such a state, his damned uncle still refuses to admit that he is also a member of this family...?

Is it simply because his mother was a "lowly" half-elf?

Thinking of this, a hint of hatred appeared on Parker's otherwise handsome face.

He instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the dark castle.

Cade Rowland is dead.

The heir turned out to be his own cowardly, incompetent sister who dreamed of being a wizard all the time.

It's ridiculous...

You must know that you were the one who awakened the seed of power at the age of seventeen.

Only I can lead the family forward!

But it's okay...

Since that fool Cade can't make the right choice, it's the same as taking it by myself.

"Tap, tap tap..."

The third floor of the castle.

In the dimly lit corridor, Parker hesitated for a moment before knocking on Oriana's door.

"Oriana, are you awake?"

Although Parker was just an illegitimate child with a low social status.

However, as the only prospective knight among the younger generation of the Roland family to awaken the "Seed of Power," he was still able to freely enter and exit various areas of the castle.

At least after the old baron's death, no one in the castle dared to stop the young prospective knight.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Parker will undergo the unified "Knight's Trial" of the province of Leon in six months.

Once he passes the trial, he will be awarded the title of "Knight" on the spot.

"Oriana?"

Parker knocked gently on the door again, but there was still no response.

This made him feel somewhat irritated—after planning for so long, he was finally close to achieving his goal, and Parker didn't want to wait a moment longer.

A hint of malice flashed across Parker's face as he placed his hand on the doorknob of Orianna's room.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, he moved his hand away.

Oh well, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer.

Parker thought to himself.

He took a deep breath and turned around, only to see a figure hidden under a wide black robe!

"Damn it..."

"Granger? What are you doing here?"

The morning light was dim in the corridor. A figure took off his hood, revealing a resolute but somewhat aged face.

Granger, a high-ranking knight, is currently the only official knight in the Roland family.

He has served the Roland family for over thirty years.

Although he is now old, he will never be able to reach the level of "Great Knight".

But in this river valley plain, no one would be foolish enough to question whether such a battle-hardened old knight could still wield a longsword.

Even after Baron Cade's death, people in the castle continued to talk about it:

If Granger hadn't gone out on a mission, and Baron Cade had taken Granger with him to fight those bandits, perhaps Baron Cade wouldn't have died in the end...

Granger's aged face was expressionless.

His eyes remained fixed on the young man before him as he replied:

"I just came back from outside."

"Back from outside?" Parker raised an eyebrow.

"I need to take care of some personal matters. You know I'm getting old, and I should start thinking about my descendants."

Hearing the old knight say that, Parker felt a little relieved.

He didn't ask Granger what he had gone out to do, but instead smiled and said:

"Granger, you know everyone in the castle respects you. If you want to go home and rest, I can help you talk to Oriana."

"Thanks."

The old knight seemed rather taciturn.

However, his gaze toward Parker grew increasingly heavy:

At that time, Parker reported to him that a strange "demon" incident had occurred in Riverbottom Village and asked him to investigate.

Although this is my job.

But the very next day after he set off, Baron Cade died fighting off bandits...

Everything seems too coincidental, doesn't it?

However, Granger understood that these were all speculations.

He had served the Roland family for decades, so he naturally knew what could be said and what could not.

"Parker, what do you need Orianna for?"

"Ah..." Parker finally realized what was happening and tried his best to make himself look normal: "It's nothing, I just have some personal things I want to talk to her about."

Granger nodded noncommittally:

"Then perhaps you should go and take a look at the forest farm behind it."

Orianna has been going there a lot these past few days.

"A forest farm?"
