Roland's reaction was understandable, because the manuscript was full of strange triangular runes.
It looked messy, but when Roland read it, he found that it was a special spell model that was different from the elemental spells of human beings and the natural spells of elves.
The first few pages were models, and the rest were all in triangular fonts.
He had never seen such fonts before.
"You've never asked a Mage to read this?"
"I've asked a few trustworthy Mages to read it, but they don't know what's written on it." Cage said with a bitter smile, "However, someone said that the fonts at the back might be the language of the devils. So, I estimate that this isn't a manuscript of our ancestors, but a trophy of war. In the current human world, there were only a few who understood the Elven Language, let alone the Demon Language. Besides, there are many kinds of devils. Who knows which race's fonts are? "
Because he liked to collect and read books, Roland had a certain level of common sense and understanding about this world.
There were actually twice as many races among the devils as there were intelligent races in the main plane.
Most of the races in the Realm of Devils had their own languages. Even the inferior devils, which were the least intelligent creatures, had their own unique fonts.
So, even if they knew that it was the language of the Realm of Devils, it was very difficult to find a translator.
"Then let's translate it." Roland put the manuscript on the table.
Cage was quite surprised. "You know the language of the Realm of Devils?"
He was even slightly alarmed that such a young man knew the language of the Realm of Devils. Was he related to the Realm of Devils in any way?
Roland casually pointed his finger, and a white light enshrouded all three of them.
Cage was slightly surprised at first. Then, he looked at the manuscript, only to find that he could actually understand the words on it.
The surprise on his face became more and more obvious. "What spell is this? I've never heard that such a spell can make people understand words! "
Andonara was rather proud, as if she were the one in the limelight. "This is a spell that Roland modified himself. He's the only person in the world who knows it."
Cage looked at Roland in surprise. As a noble and a Warrior, he was literate and well-educated, but he never thought that he was very smart.
Because few Warriors thought that they were very smart.
Not many mages would feel that their bodies were extremely strong.
Cage didn't think that he was very smart, but he knew that those who could improve spells were all top geniuses.
He was young, powerful, intelligent, and had great potential in the future. No wonder Andonara eloped with this kid.
Cage thought for a while and then looked at the words that he could understand. He couldn't help but read them aloud.
"I'm Kate from the Reed Family. When you understand these words, it means that your bloodline has been completely awakened. Writing these words is just to let the later generations understand some very important things … "
"What?!" Cage shouted. He had thought that the manuscript, which had been kept in the basement of his house for a long time, was just a trophy of his ancestor. He did not expect that it was really a manuscript left by the ancestor of the Hero. He couldn't help but shout, "Why are you writing it in the language of the devils?"
Hearing this, Roland stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
What followed next was the private affairs of other people's families. When it was time to avoid arousing suspicion, it was still necessary to avoid arousing suspicion.
Andonara immediately leaned close and held his arm. She said with a smile, "I'll go out with you."
As a collateral descendant, it was not suitable for her to read the secrets of the main family. The ancestor of the Hero had even used the language of the devils to prevent outsiders from understanding it. It would be inappropriate for her to stay.
"That's unnecessary. This is Anna's room." Cage closed the manuscript and said, "I'm going back to my room."
That's fine too!
Then, Roland and Andonara stayed in the room.
Andonara snuggled up to Roland and chatted with him for a while before she went to bed.
Roland, on the other hand, continued deciphering the elven spells.
First of all, he had to figure out the function of every circular node. Then, he could make a mathematical model out of the data. As long as he had enough data, he could deduce the functions of all the nodes and even the effects of new nodes.
Mathematics could explain everything in this world.
That statement was too absolute, but Roland believed that it was 99% correct.
The remaining less than one percent was probably the complex, unreasonable, and even chaotic emotions of intelligent creatures. Even the best mathematician might not be able to figure them out.
The elves' spell models were much more complicated than the elemental spells. For example, the natural spells of human beings were 2D pictures.
Then, the elves' spell models were 2.5D pictures with shadows and perspective effects, but not 3D pictures.
They were indeed more complicated and more effective than the natural spells of human beings.
Thanks to his decades of systematic education, Roland was quite good at self-study. Of course, he was still not as good as the real top students, but he was definitely one of the rarest ones in this world.
Even though the elves' spells were not suitable for human beings, after a night of analysis and optimization, and after applying Mental Endowment, which he had learned recently, he divided the magic nodes into different weights.
After a night of hard work, he successfully reduced the magic cost of the elven spell, Plant Activation, by about 5%.
It didn't seem much, but it couldn't be helped.
That was because the spell was used by the elves and was not suitable for human beings to cast. It was already impressive enough that Roland could achieve that in one night.
The next morning, Cage knocked on the door.
Cage was quite shocked when the door was opened. He found that it was a little treant that was only half a meter tall who opened the door for him!
What's going on here?
Cage was of a mind to kick the little treant away, but he didn't sense any evil vibe from it, so he held back.
Roland and Andonara stood behind the little treant.
"What's this?" Cage looked at them strangely. "You've had a child so soon?"
Andonara was a young woman and wasn't shy about such a topic at all. Instead, she said naturally, "I hope it's our child."
Roland rolled his eyes angrily and explained, "It's a magic experiment I did last night. The potted plant you put in this room is gone."
Cage looked at the right side of the dressing table, only to find that the potted plant was left in a mud pot.
He squatted and observed the little treant.
It was thin and only as wide as two fingers of a normal man. Two slender vines grew from the top of its head, each of which had a green eye.
Then, there was an organ that looked like a mouth in the middle of the branches.
"It looks disgusting," Cage couldn't help but remark.
Not expecting the little treant to understand him, it was stunned and curled up in a corner. Even its eyes were hidden in its branches and leaves, looking rather aggrieved.
Cage looked at Lauren with a puzzled expression.
Roland chuckled and explained, "This potted plant has been living here all this time. You were the one who brought it back. It probably considers you its father or master."
"Is that so?" Cage was slightly confused. "But generally speaking, don't summoned creatures follow the summoner?"
Roland said helplessly, "Because this is the second time I've used this elven spell, there are still some mistakes. It doesn't consider me its master."
"It's much better than the first time. The first treant that Roland summoned regarded him as an enemy and tried to attack him," said Andonara with a smile.
Elven magic? Cage stared at Roland for a long time. There was no telling what was on his mind.
After a while, he moved his eyes back and looked at the aggrieved treant in the corner. He said, "Since you consider me your master, you can stay in this house from now on. But you have to help me clean up, and you have to help me protect this house when you grow up, okay? "
The little treant stood up abruptly. Its eyes darted up and down as if it were nodding. In the end, it jumped up and down in joy.
Roland was relieved to see that Cage was willing to take the little treant in. Then, he asked, "Mr. Cage, why did you wake us up in person?"
Cage immediately closed the door and said in a low voice, "I read all the manuscripts last night. There are some things that I can't tell you, but there are some things that I can. "
"Such as?" asked Roland.
"My ancestor said in the manuscripts that if a descendant is under great pressure or threat, or if the world is attacked by evil, and the family is not strong enough, they can go to a special place and get five bottles of Phoenix Blood. They can activate the power of their bloodline after they drink it." Cage looked at Andonara and Roland and said, "Although it's not a critical moment yet, Andonara is a member of our family. Also, I wouldn't have known this at all if it weren't for you, Mr. Roland. So … as the chief of the family, I'm obliged to give you a bottle. After all, you're here to make Andonara stronger, aren't you? "
Roland nodded. That was exactly why he was here.
Andonara thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, there are only three bottles. They must be very precious, right? Didn't the ancestor of the Hero say that we can't use them until the family is attacked or the world is in danger? "
Cage said with a smile, "You're the queen, and now that you're with this boy, although the royal family doesn't dare to attack you on the surface, the jackals will definitely lunge at you crazily if you show any weakness. The stronger you are, the safer you'll be. You can't wait until you're really in danger, or you might not have another chance … Besides, we still have two bottles, don't we? "
Andonara was rather touched. "Thank you, Uncle."
"You're welcome." Cage stepped forward and patted Andonara's head softly. "We're family. Let's have breakfast and find the three bottles of Phoenix Blood. I'm suddenly excited. It's been a long time since I had an adventure. "
