Chapter 419 - Say Something I Can Understand (2/2)

Because of the magic stripes, the place was very bright.

On the inner wall of the hall were a few abstract clay paintings that were made of lines and circles.

“What are those paintings for?” asked Andonara.

“I have no idea.” Cage shook his head. “I asked my father. He didn’t know either.”

Andonara clicked her tongue. “Those paintings are hideous. I doubt our ancestors had any sense of beauty.”

“They were all Warriors. What could they know about beauty?” Cage shrugged.

At this moment, someone said behind them, “Those paintings are all magic models.”

They looked back, only to find that it was Roland.

“They’re magic models?” Andonara’s eyes widened. “The Reeds are exclusively Warriors. Why would they hang magic models here?”

“Let me check them first.”

Roland walked closer to the six paintings.

He understood the first magic model, half of the second one, and as for the third one… He gasped.

The remaining magic models had more and more nodes, and some of the nodes were quite unique. He couldn’t comprehend them at all.

Seeing that Roland was frowning, Andonara couldn’t help but ask, “Can you tell what they are?”

“They’re all model graphs of fire-cla.s.s spells that I’ve never seen before.” Roland pointed at the first model and explained, “This is an offensive fireball spell, but it’s greatly different from the fireball spells I learned. The nodes in this model are simplified and bizarre. Its mechanism to concentrate magic power is very strange and wrong for ordinary Mages, but according to my deduction, it works fine. So… those unique nodes probably require special mental structures, like elven spells.”

Andonara and Cage felt a huge headache listening to him.

In the end, Cage scratched his head and said, “Say something I can understand.”

“These are likely bloodline spells.” Roland opened his hands. “Special spells that only the Reeds can use.”

Bloodline spells!

Dazed for a while, Cage couldn’t help but create a cl.u.s.ter of blue flames in his palm. “This is our bloodline spell. Also, as Warriors, we can only awaken the fixed bloodline spell, and we can’t learn other spells.”

“But I think you can.” Roland thought a moment and said, “According to what Diablo said, we can infer that your ancestor should be Phoenix the Demon G.o.d. It’s normal that a Demon G.o.d can cast spells, right? So, you should be capable of learning spells too. Your application of magic power as fire is probably only a low-level instinct of the Phoenix family.”

Roland had a point.

After hearing what he said, Cage too found it odd that he was incapable of magic as the offspring of Phoenix.

But he felt a strong headache when he realized what a slow learner he was.

He would rather maintain his dignity by practicing sword techniques instead of learning magic.

However, while he couldn’t learn magic, his son could.

His son was still little and could learn a lot of things.

Therefore, it seemed that he had to go to Roland’s magic school now.

Cage was only slightly interested in sending his son to the school before, but at this moment, he completely agreed with the plan and looked forward to it.

His Hero ancestor had left excellent legacies. This ancestral residence, the Hero equipment, and the Phoenix Blood were all very useful.

So, the special bloodline spells must be very powerful too.

“Well, when are we leaving for Delpon?” Cage suddenly asked.

Andonara asked weirdly, “Uncle, didn’t you say that we should wait until your arm recuperates?”

“Hey, there’s no time to wait. Education is very important for kids. The later they go to school, the later they will grow up as talents.”

Andonara looked at the magic models and then at Cage. She realized something and smiled.

“Let’s look elsewhere for leads on equipment.” Cage’s face was slightly red. “There may be pleasant surprises.”

They separated and searched for a while, but they didn’t find any surprises.

As for leads on the other Hero equipment, they didn’t find any.

After they left the ancestral residence, they sealed its entrance again.

Cage asked the butler to pack up, ready to take off the next day.

Everybody could see that he was eager to leave.

As a minor n.o.ble, Cage had a carriage at home. He, his son, and the butler took the carriage, so Roland and Andonara wouldn’t be disturbed.

They did not encounter any problems on the way and returned to Delpon safely.

Vivian ran to them the moment they arrived at the Magic Tower. She hugged Roland and said quickly, “The headquarters sent someone to you. They’ve waited for four days. They say that they have something important to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know. The messenger is waiting on the third floor.”

It seemed rather urgent.

Roland asked Andonara to settle Cage’s family down. Then, he went to the third floor.

A haggard-looking man ran to him and fell on his knees before Roland, before he said in a tone as if he had just survived a disaster, “Mr. Roland, something happened at the headquarters. Please go there and help Chairman Tobian!”
