Cage picked up the Phoenix Sword. The moment he laid his hand on the hilt, he felt that he was connected to the sword by blood.
"That's right. This must be the Hero's Sword that our great-grandfather used."
He drew the longsword and looked at the blue blade. After a brief daze, he reluctantly put the sword back on the table.
"Big Uncle, if you like it, you can take it. Anyway, logically speaking, this weapon should be inherited by you."
Hearing that, Cage subconsciously looked at Roland.
In his opinion, Roland, as Anna's man, had the right to deal with the weapon.
He wasn't sure how much the Hero's Sword was worth, but everybody liked a good weapon.
They must've found the sword together. Wouldn't Roland be angry that Andonara gave it to him?
But Cage stared at Roland for two seconds, only to discover that there was no change in his expression.
It seemed that he didn't have any opinion on what Andonara did with the Hero's Sword.
Cage smiled. He was quite happy.
Although Andonara was a queen, which sounded noble, Cage felt that it might be a thorn in Roland's heart because of her identity as a queen.
Who wouldn't like their woman to be completely his and have no other men?
Of course … The nobles were messy, and none of them seemed to care how many men their women had had before.
They seemed to be very generous and open-minded.
But exactly because of that, Cage could see the emptiness in those nobles' hearts.
And their distrust of their wives.
Most noble couples were indifferent to each other under the surface of harmony.
It seemed that Roland and his niece weren't like that.
Such a weapon was more than enough for a title, but Roland didn't even frown when Andonara said that she would give it to him.
That explained a lot.
Looking at the longsword on the table regretfully, Cage shook his head. "That's unnecessary. You're much stronger than me right now. It's more suitable for you."
He really liked this weapon, but he also wanted to save his face. How could he fight with his niece over something like this?
About Andonara's request to find all the Hero's equipment, Cage thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where great-grandfather's Hero suit is, but we can go to his old house."
"Sure, where's the old house?" Andonara asked expectantly.
She only knew that her family had an old house, which seemed to be a cave, but she didn't know where it was exactly.
"Actually, it's not far." Cage stood up. "Come with me."
They followed Cage out of the manor.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain outside the village.
Almost no one would come here. After all, this place didn't produce anything and there weren't any wild fruits.
Cage parted the weeds with one hand and revealed a cave that was slightly taller than a human.
Walking further in, one could see a stone door.
There was a palm print in the middle of the green stone gate. Cage put his left hand on it, and several rays of magic light glowed from the palm print and spread on the stone like electric currents. Very soon, the whole gate was covered in blue stripes. Then, the stone gate slowly sank into the ground.
A long tunnel was revealed. Then, blue magic patterns lit up on both sides of the tunnel, forming light tubes that looked like LED lights.
The entire cave was brightly lit.
What a powerful magic technique.
Andonara exclaimed in surprise. Cage was rather proud of himself. "Impressive, isn't it? I lived here for a while when I was little. Unfortunately, I moved out later. "
Amateurs enjoyed the show, while professionals appreciated the artistry.
In Roland's eyes, the magic patterns on the stone wall ran in a strange pattern and were vaguely related to the shell of the magic array.
Roland had been worried that he couldn't find a new route for the magic array, and the pattern was of great help to him.
As he observed, he leaned on the stone wall and almost stuck his face to the magic patterns on the wall.
Cage pointed at Roland in surprise.
Andonara gestured for him to keep quiet and said in a low voice, "He's always like this when he studies magic."
"No wonder he's so good at such a young age."
Andonara was rather proud of her man after hearing her uncle's compliment.
So, the two of them walked in first.
The cave was actually built according to the living quarters. There were seven rooms inside, including a bathroom and a toilet.
Andonara opened a random toilet, only to discover that it was a squatting one. He could vaguely hear the sound of running water from below the toilet. It was a natural sewer.
"Everything in this ancestral home is very comfortable," Cage said with some nostalgia. "But it's too dark, even with the magic lamps. Besides, the light is too cold and doesn't bring any warmth. It's not as comfortable as basking in the sun. So, my father moved out from here. "
The two of them continued looking at the rooms in the cave, or to be more exact, the rooms in the cave.
The furniture in the rooms was complete. Although most of them were made of stone, they weren't dusty at all.
That was quite normal. There were no windows, and the door was sealed. It would be strange if there was dust.
Also, there were bedding and clothes in the cabinets in every room.
What was even more amazing was that the bedding and clothes were all new. There wasn't even the slightest smell of mold, not to mention bugs.
After looking at all the rooms, they came to the hall at the end of the hall.
Because of the magic patterns, the hall was very bright.
On the inner wall of the big wall, there were a few clay paintings. They were quite abstract, with either lines or circles.
"What are these paintings for?" asked Andonara.
"I'm not sure." Cage shook his head. "I asked my father, but he didn't know either."
Andonara clicked her tongue. "These paintings are really ugly. I really don't know what aesthetic our ancestors had."
"We're all Warriors. What aesthetic can we have?" Cage shrugged.
At this moment, someone behind them said, "Those paintings are all magic models."
They turned around, only to find that it was Roland.
"They're magic models?" Andonara's eyes widened. "The Reed family has always had Warriors. Why would they hang magic models here?"
"Let me take a look first."
Roland walked forward. There were six paintings here.
He could understand the first magic model, most of the second one, and the third one … He gasped.
The later magic models had more and more nodes, and many of them were very unique. He couldn't understand them at all.
Seeing that Roland was frowning, Andonara couldn't help but ask, "Can you see anything?"
"These are all models of fire spells, and they're of a type I've never seen before." Pointing at the first magic model, Roland explained, "This is an offensive fireball spell, but the problem is that it's very different from the fireball spells I've learned. The nodes here are simpler and weirder, and one of the principles of magic power concentration is quite weird. It's wrong for regular Mages, but according to my deduction, there's nothing wrong with this magic model. So … the data of the special nodes, like elven spells, require special mental structures. "
Both Andonara and Cage felt that their heads were spinning.
In the end, Cage scratched his head and said, "Speak human language."
"This may be a bloodline spell." Roland opened his hands. "It's probably a special spell that only the Reed family can use."
Bloodline spell!
Cage was stunned for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but condense a blue flame in his palm. "That's what our bloodline spells are. Also, we're Warriors. We can only awaken fixed bloodline spells at best. It's impossible for us to learn other spells. "
"I think it's quite possible." Roland thought for a moment and said, "According to Diablo, we can infer that your ancestor should be the Demon God Phoenix. It's quite normal for a Demon God to use magic, so you should be able to learn magic too. Your application of magic power is probably just a low-level instinct of the Phoenix. "
Roland had a point.
Cage agreed. It was indeed strange that he, as a descendant of Phoenix, couldn't learn magic.
However, he felt a headache when he thought of his pitiful intelligence.
It was impossible for him to learn magic. Only by practicing swordsmanship every day could he maintain a decent appearance.
However, he couldn't learn magic himself, but his son could.
He was still young, and he was very malleable.
So, it seemed that he had to go to Roland's magic school.
If Cage was only slightly tempted by his son's going to school before, he completely agreed and looked forward to it at this moment.
Everything left by the ancestor of the Heroes was great. The ancestral house, the Hero equipment, and the Phoenix blood were all very useful.
And these special bloodline magic spells must be quite powerful.
"Then, when are we leaving for Delpon?" Cage suddenly asked.
Andonara put on a weird expression. "Uncle, didn't you say that you couldn't leave until your arm was healed?"
"Hey, time waits for no man. A child's education is very important. The later he goes to school, the later he will grow up. "
Andonara looked at the spell model and then at Cage. She suddenly realized something and smiled.
"Let's look elsewhere and see if there are any clues about the equipment." Cage blushed. "Chances are that there will be unexpected surprises."
The three of them split up and searched for a while, but they didn't find anything unexpected.
They couldn't find any clues about the other Hero equipment for now.
After they left the ancestral house, they sealed the entrance again.
Cage asked his butler to pack up, and they were ready to leave the next day.
Everybody could see that he was in a hurry.
As a minor noble, Cage had his own carriage. He, his son, and his butler shared one, so that Roland and Andonara could enjoy their time together.
They didn't run into any trouble on the way, and they returned to Delpon without a hitch.
However, hardly had he entered the city when Vivian rushed out of the Magic Tower. She gave Roland a hug and said in a hurry, "The Association of Mages has sent someone to look for you. They've been waiting for you for four days. They said that they have something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I don't know. The messenger is waiting on the third floor."
They seemed to be in a hurry.
Roland asked Andonara to take care of Cage's family, and he went to the third floor himself.
A haggard man rushed over and fell before Roland. Half on his knees, he said as if he had just survived a disaster, "Mr. Roland, something has happened at the headquarters. Please help President Tobian."
