Chapter 418 - Recruit Family aRecruit Family as Talentss Talents (2/2)
After they walked a while, they saw a white storm pressing at them. Cage was about to take a defensive posture, but then he relaxed.
It was Andonara, with White Amber on her shoulder.
Having been close to her since her childhood, he recognized his niece by her figure even though she was far away.
Andonara approached in ecstasy. Looking at Kaido who had cried himself to sleep and Cage’s broken arm, she burst into fury.
“Uncle, where are the people who hurt you?” asked Andonara dauntingly, holding the Hero’s Sword.
Cage shook his head and said with a smile, “That’s unnecessary. They’re just kids who made a mistake. They’ve recognized their wrongdoing, and they’ll change. Just let them go.”
“But…”
Cage shook his head firmly and then asked, “Why are you here? Weren’t you going to search for the Hero’s Sword?”
“It’s the sword I’m holding!” Andonara secretly sighed.
She knew that her uncle was a good person. Although he loved communicating with Lamb Girls on how to take care of men’s excessive energy, he was really a good person in general.
Cage’s eyes glittered. But only one of his hands was available, and it was holding his son. So he said, “Let’s go home before we talk about it.”
They walked on for a while. Then, Roland landed from the sky, as White Amber had informed Roland that Cage was found using telepathy.
Seeing Roland, Cage said with a smile, “Hey, you’re here too.”
After Roland landed, he cast the healing technique on Cage the moment he saw the man’s broken arm.
Cage smiled and said, “Thanks. Let’s go home and talk.”
…
Back in the manor in Reed Village, Cage took a shower, and young Kaido fell asleep in bed while the two treants tended to him.
When the players broke into the manor, both of the treants hid themselves.
It was very easy for them to hide. All they needed to do was to stand still among trees or gra.s.ses with their eyes closed.
Kaido had been frightened for almost two days. He was calling his dad even though he was sleeping.
Cage patted his son’s head gently and then went down to the living room.
“This trip was really an eye-opener,” Cage said with a smile. “I’ve never seen kidnappers who aborted their kidnapping when they were about to get the treasure they wanted. Roland, you Golden Sons are rather interesting.”
Roland, however, blushed, feeling that Cage was mocking him.
Andonara asked, “What happened exactly?”
Cage told them everything.
Andonara burst into rage again. “Those G.o.dd.a.m.n Golden Sons are doing evil things brazenly just because they’re undying.”
Cage smiled. “That’s fine. I’m told that many Golden Sons with black leaves have left this world. They couldn’t stay much longer even if they wanted to, because they were hunted everywhere.”
Roland nodded and said, “Cage, I think you should consider moving to another place.”
Cage thought for a moment and said, “You do have a point.”
He was a good person, not a fool. Now that his Phoenix Blood was no longer a secret, his son might be kidnapped again if he continued living here.
Also, what if the Golden Sons regretted their choice and came back?
It would be very stupid to stake his life on other people’s kindness.
Andonara’s eyes glittered. “Why don’t you come to Delpon? Roland’s manor is s.p.a.cious and empty. Besides, Roald has a magic school in Delpon where Kaido can study magic. We can look after each other if we live together.”
For Andonara, Roland was the most important person in the world, and her family came right next.
Her father had been a traveling businessman that she didn’t feel very close to. It was her uncle who raised her. In her heart, her uncle was her father, and her birth father was more of a mere relative for her.
If her uncle came to live with her, she would feel much safer as the needy woman she was.
A magic school?
Cage was rather tempted.
Though his son was born much more talented than ordinary people with the Hero bloodline, he wouldn’t mind if his son could pick up more skills and spells. The abilities that the Hero bloodline granted were limited and focused on dealing damage. If his son could learn ancillary spells like Healing, he would be stronger and with a better chance of survival.
Considering a moment, Cage said, “Okay, I hope we won’t disturb you.”
“Fantastic!” Andonara jumped to her feet in delight. “I’ll pack up for you. We’ll take off in a few days.”
“Let’s not rush into anything yet,” Cage said. “We should at least wait until my broken arm recuperates, right?”
Andonara thought a moment and realized that they should. So, she sat down again.
Then, Cage looked at Roland and asked, “You’re here for something else, aren’t you?”
Roland and Andonara looked at each other.
In the end, Andonara said, “We’re here for the ancestral Hero equipment.”
She laid the Hero’s Sword in her hand on the table and said, “There are another few pieces of equipment. I want to find all of them.”
