Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Jess didn't dare to think any further.

All he can do now is pray that the rumor is false...

"Hey, Dad, relax. I think things might not be as bad as you think."

As Jess's only son, Obert easily guessed what the other was thinking.

However, Vera, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes after hearing what Aubert said.

Sure enough, the other party immediately followed up with:

"Maybe it's a good thing that Orianna sold the family; at least we can all get some money."

And she can finally pursue that damn wizard dream...

"Shut up!"

Jess's eyes widened, and he hissed angrily at Aubert.

However, just as he was about to say something, a sound of a door hinge turning suddenly came from the basement entrance.

"Squeak—"

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Immediately afterwards, Orianna, with her golden ponytail tied back, pushed open the door and walked in.

However, to everyone's surprise...

Behind Orianna, there was a tall, unfamiliar knight in full armor whose appearance was obscured.

The knight was completely covered from head to toe, with not an inch of skin showing.

In the dim, flickering firelight, it seemed even more eerie.

Who is this?

Almost everyone present had this question in their minds at the same time.

Clearly, none of these elderly people who had been with the Roland family for countless years had ever seen this unfamiliar knight.

"Master of the family."

"Oriana..."

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone bowed in greeting.

However, his gaze kept falling on the unfamiliar knight, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

And this naturally includes the old knight Granger.

"Everyone's here!"

Orianna's face lit up with a bright smile.

  

However, just as she was about to continue, she noticed that the atmosphere here seemed somewhat oppressive.

"Uh... what's going on here...?"

At this moment, Vera, tall and with neat short hair, hesitated for a moment, then finally looked up into Orianna's eyes and asked:

"Ori... did you gather us here today to announce the sale of the family to Baron Hoover?"

Vera and Oriana had a good relationship since childhood.

Therefore, even the way she is addressed is by Orianna's nickname.

As soon as Vera asked this question, the entire basement immediately fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on Orianna.

"..."

Orianna was taken aback by what the other person said, and then a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"what?"

Transfer of family property?

Where is this?

I never even considered it from beginning to end...

"No, no, no..."

Orianna quickly shook her head, saying with a wry smile:

"Of course not! Why would I transfer the family business? What are you all thinking?"

"You didn't intend to transfer the family business?"

Vera was stunned. "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Orianna looked around and saw that everyone had a surprised expression on their faces, which made her feel a little helpless.

Where did everyone hear these rumors from?

While I, Orianna, may not possess such abilities, I would absolutely never betray my ancestors and family!

Although Orianna's words were indeed sincere, they were spoken with extraordinary force.

Just kidding, Roland's real ancestors were standing right behind him.

It would be a waste of an opportunity not to show loyalty now.

Hearing Orianna's words, Vera couldn't help but blink:

"So, the reason we've been gathered here today is..."

Orianna smiled mysteriously, then replied:

"Of course, it's to revitalize our Roland family!"

As she spoke, she turned to Gordon, gesturing for him to bring the item, and continued:

"Everyone here is the most loyal member of my Roland family."

Therefore, I intend to form you all into a special secret army called the Blackwater Legion.

To prepare for any potential risks in the future and to protect the safety of the family and territory!

Blackwater Legion?

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" Albert, who was chewing on a blade of grass, asked.

Obert wasn't the only one with the same idea.

Everyone present felt that the name "Blackwater Legion" sounded very familiar...

"Wait, isn't this the name of the army founded by our family ancestor Gordon Roland a thousand years ago?"

At that moment, Jess, whose hair was now gray, suddenly remembered something.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized what was going on.

"That's right!"

Orianna said with a smile:

"Back in the day, the Roland family's Blackwater Legion, under the leadership of Lord Gordon, was famous throughout the continent. In particular, the twelve legendary knights in the legion were enough to make all enemies tremble with fear."

Even the various schools of wizarding thought dare not easily offend us.

So today, let's use this name to revitalize our family!

Unlike Orianna's excited and enthusiastic expression.

The people present began to look at each other, their faces showing strange expressions.

While they were indeed loyal to their family, they had not lost their minds.

To revitalize the family? To establish a knightly order similar to that of the Gordon era?

Ok……

Originally, everyone was just worried about the fate of the family.

But now, they're starting to worry about Oriana's mental state...

However, just as everyone was hesitating about whether to express their opinions...

The unfamiliar knight, dressed in full plate armor and whose appearance was obscured, threw several sacks onto the ground, making a metallic clanging sound.

"Splash..."

Oriana didn't say anything more, but instead laboriously emptied everything out of one of the sacks.

"Here you go, this is a gift for everyone, one set for each person."

Oh, I forgot to mention, the sponsor is this Mr. Gordon.

As she spoke, Oriana pointed to Gordon beside her.

However, in order not to expose the latter's identity, she deliberately used the pseudonym "Gordon".

Sponsors?

Now everyone's expressions became even more puzzled.

Then, before everyone could figure out the relationship between Orianna and this strange knight...

A sergeant who was nearby suddenly exclaimed:

"These... these are all enchanted equipment?"

Enchanted equipment?!

Upon hearing this, Vera disregarded everything else and rushed forward, picking up a longsword to examine it closely.

Just as the soldier had said, a faint halo shimmered around the longsword.

Vera swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, then gripped the longsword and plunged it into the floor.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, the seemingly ordinary longsword pierced the hard ground without any resistance.

"Damn it...it's actually true!"

It really is enchanted equipment!
