"Okay, I trust you." Holding the bottle of blood, Cage said to Kaido gently, "Go out of the woods and find the butler. Be a good boy."
"I'm not leaving." Kaido wiped his tears hard and sobbed, "Those uncles … will … beat you. I don't want Dad to be beaten! "
Many people said that children's words carried no harm, but most of the time, children's words were the most touching.
Cage smiled happily when he heard that. How could he not be happy to have a son who doted on him?
However, he hadn't created a safe environment for him to grow up, and he had been traumatized.
Immediately, Cage said gently, "Be a good boy, or Dad will be angry. Go find the butler, got it?"
"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving!"
Kaido shook his head hard stubbornly.
Cage couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that the kidnappers would be agitated and infuriated by the child's cries.
After all, a child's cries could be quite annoying for some people.
Also, Cage noticed that all the Golden Sons had changed their expressions.
He was even more anxious now. He was about to ask his son to leave in a stern tone, in case the kidnappers changed their minds.
But exactly at this moment, the situation suddenly changed.
One of the players suddenly became agitated. He waved his sword hard and cut a tree that was as thick as a bowl in half.
The trunk collapsed, and the dense branches and leaves of the tree fell to the ground, raising a huge cloud of snow.
Rustling sounds echoed.
Kaido's cries were much quieter and turned into sobs.
Everyone's attention was on him.
Cage's heart skipped a beat. Not good.
He subconsciously clenched his hand that was holding the Phoenix Blood.
Breathing heavily, the player threw his longsword to the ground and roared angrily, "Damn it! This is so annoying! I quit!"
Cage had been prepared for a battle, but he was stunned after hearing that.
The other six players, on the other hand, were not as surprised as Cage was.
Jess asked coldly, "Roald, what's the meaning of this?"
"What do I mean? I'm here to play games, not to be a villain. " The player named Roald roared as he retreated. "I have children too. I can't stand it anymore. What do you think?!"
Jesse's expression became even colder. "But we agreed before!"
"Can't I go back on my word?" Roald continued to retreat. He waved his hand as if to slap something away. "When I was young, I said I wanted to be a hero of justice. What about now? I don't want to make the same mistake again. If it was a player, then what we're doing is fine. PvP and loot are all based on skill. However, these NPCs can't respawn if they die. I can't do it now. "
Jess fell silent.
"I have no objections if you want to continue, but I won't do it anymore."
Roald picked up his weapon again, turned around, and left without any hesitation.
Cage was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Although he didn't understand Chinese, he could tell that the kidnappers seemed to be fighting among themselves.
Watching Roald leave, two more players sheathed their weapons and followed in silence.
In less than ten seconds, another two players gave up and left too.
The player who held Kaido hostage heaved a sigh and put his longsword away.
Looking at him, Jesse asked hoarsely, "Are you leaving too?"
"Let's go." The player didn't leave on his own. Instead, he grabbed Jesse's neck and dragged him away, while he said, "It's unnecessary. We'll lose even more miserably if this goes on."
Although Jesse looked reluctant, his body followed the player without much struggle. However, he said, "That bottle of blood is worth at least a few hundred gold coins, or at least a few million RMB."
"Yes, yes, yes. I know."
"You're not greedy?"
"Of course I am. But the armored trucks drive by every day, and each of them may be loaded with millions of yuan. Do you want to rob them? Jesse, I think this game magnifies our negative emotions. Maybe it's because we're powerful and unrestrained. "
"That's different. Reality is reality, and games are games …"
"But this game is too real. It's no different from reality."
As the two of them chatted, they slowly walked away.
Stunned, Cage watched all the kidnappers leave. A moment later, he picked up his son with one hand and looked around in relief, only to find that his son was not hurt at all.
Kaido buried his head in his father's chest and burst into tears.
The experience of the past two days had frightened him. Although those uncles didn't beat him and at most scolded him, how could a child not be afraid when encountering such a thing?
Looking at where the players left for a while, Cage slowly left the woods with his son in his arms.
The butler waited anxiously on the side of the road. Seeing that the master and the young master were back, he immediately ran to them and was relieved to find that the young master was not hurt.
The three of them walked home on the street.
After a while, they saw a white shadow rushing at them. Cage was about to be alarmed, but then he relaxed.
It was Andonara, with White Amber sitting on her shoulder.
He had watched her grow up. Even from afar, he could recognize his niece just by looking at her figure.
Andonara ran to him in ecstasy. She looked at Kaido, who had fallen asleep from crying, and then at Cage's broken arm. She couldn't help but burst into fury.
"Uncle, where did the people who hurt you go?" asked Andonara aggressively, holding the Hero's Sword.
Cage shook his head and said with a smile, "That's unnecessary. They're just a bunch of kids who have temporarily misbehaved. They've realized their problem and will correct it. Let them go."
"But …"
Cage shook his head firmly and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to look for our Hero's Sword? "
"That's the sword!" Andonara secretly sighed.
She knew that her uncle was a good man. Though he was old and liked to talk to the lamb girls about how to solve the problem of men's excessive energy, he was generally a good man.
Cage's eyes glittered, but he only had one hand and had to hold his son. He said, "Let's go back and talk."
They walked for a while, and Roland landed from the sky.
White Amber informed the Roland people through telepathy that they had found them.
Cage smiled when he saw Roland. "Hey, you're here too."
Roland landed on the ground. Seeing Cage's broken arm, he cast Healing on him without hesitation.
Cage said with a smile, "Thanks. Let's talk at home."
… …
… …
After they returned to the manor in Reed Village, Cage took a shower, and little Kaido fell asleep on the bed.
The two little treants were busy taking care of him.
The two little treants had hidden themselves when the players broke into the manor.
It was easy for them to disguise themselves. All they needed to do was stand still on the grass or in the woods with their eyes closed.
The child had been frightened for two days and two nights. He called for his father now and then even in his sleep.
Cage patted his son's head tenderly and went to the living room.
"I've learned a lot this time." Cage said with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen a kidnapper abort a kidnapping when he was about to get the treasure. Roland, the Golden Sons are quite interesting. "
Roland, however, felt that his cheeks were burning. He felt that Cage was laughing at him.
Andonara asked, "What happened?"
Cage told her what happened. Andonara grew angry again.
Andonara was furious again. "Those wretched Golden Sons are doing whatever they want with their immortality."
Cage smiled. "It's fine. I'm told that many Golden Sons with black leaves have left this world. I don't think they can stay for long, because they're hunted everywhere. "
Roland nodded and said, "Cage, I think you should live somewhere else for a while."
Cage thought for a moment and said, "You have a point."
He was a good man, but he wasn't an idiot. The Phoenix Blood had already been targeted. If they continued to stay here, it was inevitable that something similar would happen again.
Also, what if those people changed their minds and came back?
It would be foolish to entrust one's life to other people's kindness.
Andonara's eyes glittered. "Why don't you come to Delpon? Roland's manor is large and empty. Besides, Roland has established a magic school in Delpon where Kaido can receive magic education. We can look after each other if we live together. "
For Andonara, Roland was the most important person in the world, followed by her family.
Her father had been a traveling merchant all the time, and she didn't really love him very much. Her uncle, on the other hand, took care of her since she was a child. In her heart, her uncle was her father, and her biological father was more like a relative.
If Eldest Uncle also came to live here, for a little woman like her, the sense of security would simply explode.
A magic school?
Cage was rather tempted.
Although he had the Hero bloodline and was naturally more talented than regular people, he didn't mind that his offspring could learn more skills and magic. He didn't mind that his offspring could learn more skills and magic. There were only a few abilities that the Hero bloodline brought, and they were all offensive skills. If they could learn ancillary spells such as healing, their combat ability and survival ability would be much higher.
After considering for a moment, Cage said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you."
"That's great." Andonara jumped to her feet in delight. "I'll prepare your luggage and other things for you. We'll set off in a few days."
"Don't be hasty." Cage said with a smile, "At least wait until my broken hand is healed and regrown."
Andonara thought for a moment and realized that it did make sense, so she sat down again.
Then, Cage looked at Roland and asked, "You're here for something, aren't you?"
Roland and Andonara looked at each other.
In the end, Andonara said, "It's about the Hero equipment that has been passed down in our family for generations."
She put the Hero's sword on the table and said, "There are a few other pieces that I want to find."
