It's no wonder that Roland had a strange reaction, because the manuscript was full of strange triangular symbols.
It looked very messy, but after actually looking at it, Roland discovered that this was actually a special spell model that was different from human elemental magic and elves' natural magic.
The first few pages are model pictures, and the following pages are all special fonts shaped like triangles.
Fonts I've never seen before.
"You haven't asked the mage to look at this book?"
"I've asked several trustworthy mages to read it, but they don't know what it is." Cage said with a wry smile: "But one person said that the text behind may be the text of the demons. So I guess this The thing should not be the manuscript of our ancestors, it may be a captured trophy. In the current human world, there are not many people who can even understand the writing of elves, let alone the writing of demons. Besides, there are many types of demons, who knows what this is? Which ethnic font.”
Because he likes to collect and read books, Roland now has some common sense and understanding of the world.
The racial classifications of demons are actually twice as many as the intelligent races on the main plane of humans.
Most races in the demon world have their own writing. Even the lowest level lemures, who are barely intelligent creatures, have their own unique fonts.
So even if you know that it is a demonic text, it is quite difficult to find a translation.
"Then let's translate it." Roland put the codex on the table.
Cage was very surprised: "You know the demonic writing?"
He was even a little wary. If he was so young and could write about the demon world, he would not have anything to do with the demon world.
Roland pointed his finger lightly, and a white light enveloped the three of them.
Cage was a little surprised at first, but then he looked at the manuscript and suddenly realized that he could actually understand the text on the manuscript.
The look of surprise on his face became more and more obvious: "What kind of magic is this? I have never heard that this kind of magic can actually make people understand words!"
Andonara was quite proud, as if she was in the spotlight and was happy: "This is Roland's own improved magic. Now he is the only one in the world who knows it."
Cage looked at Roland in surprise. As a noble and 'warrior', although he was literate and well-educated, he never felt that he was very smart.
Because few warriors think they are smart.
Even if there are not many mages, they will feel that their bodies are very strong.
Although Cage didn't think he was very smart, he knew that those who could improve magic were all first-rate geniuses.
At a young age, he is strong, smart and has great potential in the future. No wonder Andonara would elope with this kid.
Cage's thoughts swirled in his mind for a while, then he looked at the words that he could understand, and then he couldn't help but read them out.
"I am Kate from the Reed family. When you understand these words, it means that your bloodline has fully awakened. I write these words just to let future generations understand some very important things..."
"What!" Cage yelled. He thought that this manuscript, which seemed to have been in the basement of his home for a long time, was just a trophy from his ancestors, but he did not expect that it was actually a manuscript left by the ancestor of the brave man. He endured He kept shouting: "Why do you have to write it in the demonic language?"
When Roland heard this, he stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
What follows is other people's private matters, and when it's time to avoid suspicion, you still have to avoid suspicion.
Andonara immediately leaned forward, hugged his arm, and said with a smile, "I'll go out with you too."
She is a sideline, and it is not suitable for her to read the secrets of the master's family. The brave ancestors even used demonic characters to prevent outsiders from understanding them. It would not be appropriate for her to stay any longer.
"No, this is Anna's room." Cage closed the manuscript and said, "I'm going back to the room."
also!
Then Roland and Andonara stayed in the room.
Andonara snuggled close to Roland, chatted with him for a while, and then went to bed to rest.
Roland continued to crack the elf magic.
First, the function of each circular node must be clarified, and then the data can be made into a mathematical model. As long as there is enough data, he can deduce the functions of all nodes, and even deduce new node effects.
Mathematics can explain everything in this world.
This sentence is too absolute, but Roland believes that it is 99% correct.
The remaining one percent is probably the complex, irrational, and even chaotic emotions of intelligent creatures. No matter how powerful a mathematician is, he or she cannot calculate these things accurately.
The complexity of the elf spell model is much higher than that of elemental magic. For example, human elemental magic is a two-dimensional picture.
Then the elf spell model adds shadows, perspective effects and other 2.5D picture effects, but it does not reach the level of 3D pictures.
Whether it is complexity or magical effect, it is indeed a little stronger than human elemental magic.
Thanks to the systematic education achievements of more than ten years and nearly twenty years, Roland's self-study ability is quite strong. Of course, there is still a little gap compared with a real academic master, but in this world, he is definitely a rare type.
Even though the magic of the elves is not suitable for human use, after a night of analysis and optimization, Roland also used the newly learned 'spiritual endowment' to classify the magic nodes.
After a night of hard work, he successfully reduced the mana consumption of this 'activated plant''s elf magic by about 5%.
It doesn't seem like much, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Because this magic itself is used by the elves and is not suitable for humans to cast, Roland is already quite powerful to be able to do this in one night.
The next morning, Cage knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Cage was startled. He found that the person who opened the door for him was actually a small tree man only about half a meter tall!
What's going on here
Cage wanted to kick the little tree man away, but he didn't feel any evil aura from the little tree man, so he held back.
Roland and Andonara stood behind the little tree man.
"Is this?" Cage looked at the two of them strangely: "You gave birth to a baby so soon?"
Andonara was a young woman and had no shame at all about such a topic. Instead, she said naturally: "I hope this is our child."
Roland rolled his eyes angrily and explained: "This is a magic test I did last night. The potted plants you placed in this house are gone."
Cage looked to the right of the dressing table, and sure enough, there was only a clay pot left for potted plants.
He knelt down and looked at the little tree man.
The body is thin, about the width of two fingers of a normal male, with two slender vines growing from the top of its head, and each of the vines has a green eye.
Then in the middle of the branch, there is an organ that looks like a mouth.
"It looks a little disgusting." Cage couldn't help but say.
Unexpectedly, the little tree man actually understood it. It was stunned for a moment, ran to the corner and huddled up, even its eyes were retracted into its own branches and leaves, looking quite aggrieved.
Cage looked at Roland with doubtful eyes.
Roland laughed, and then explained: "This potted plant has been living here all this time, and you brought it back. Maybe I regard you as my father or owner."
"Is this so?" Cage was a little confused: "But generally speaking, don't summoned creatures follow the summoner?"
Roland said helplessly: "Because this is the second time I have used this elf magic, there is something wrong. It does not think I am the master."
"It's much better than the first time. The tree man summoned by Roland for the first time directly regarded him as an enemy and wanted to devour the master." Andonara stood aside and said with a smile.
Elf magic? Cage's eyes fell on Roland for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, then looked at the aggrieved little tree man in the corner, and said, "Since you think I am the master, you can stay in this house from now on. But you have to be responsible for helping me clean, and When you grow up, you have to help me protect this family, okay?"
The little tree man suddenly stood up, his eyes fluttered up and down, as if nodding, and finally he jumped up and down.
Seeing that Cage was willing to take in this little tree man, Roland was relieved, and then asked: "Sir Cage, why did you come to wake us up in person?"
Cage immediately closed the door and whispered: "I read all the manuscripts last night. It's not convenient to tell you some things, but there are still some things I can do."
"For example?" Roland asked.
"The ancestors said in the manuscript that if the descendants are under great pressure or threat, or if the world is attacked by evil, but the family's combat power is not enough, they can go to a special place and get three bottles of Phoenix's blood. , drinking it can stimulate the power of blood in the body." Cage looked at Andonara, then looked at Roland, and said: "Although it is not that critical moment now, Andonara is a member of our family. , and if it weren’t for you, Mr. Roland, I wouldn’t know about this at all, so... As the clan leader, I should give you a bottle. Anyway, you are here just to make Andonara stronger, right?"
Roland nodded. This in itself was his purpose.
Andonara thought for a while and asked: "Uncle, there are only three bottles, they are very precious, right. Didn't the brave ancestor say that they can only be used when the family is attacked or the world is in danger?"
Cage smiled and said: "You are the queen, and now you are following this boy. Although the royal family does not dare to cause trouble for you for the time being, as long as you show some flaws, those jackals will smell it or see that you have a weakness. , will definitely pounce on you like crazy. And the stronger you are, the safer you will be. You can’t use this thing until you are in danger, otherwise you may not have a chance... Besides, after using one bottle, don’t we still have two Bottle?"
Andonara was a little moved: "Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome." Cage took two steps forward and patted Andonara's head gently: "We are one family, and we don't talk about two families. Let's go down to have breakfast first, and then go find the three bottles of Phoenix's blood. I suddenly felt a little excited, I haven’t taken an adventure in a long time.”
