"Well, of course."

Li Zicheng took a sip of the hot water in the cup, then put it on the table made of mahogany and began to ask:

"You just said that those wizards are your ancestors, is it true?"

Rick nodded slightly and said:

"Of course, our Goddard family is actually a wizard family, and the wizarding inheritance has a history of more than three hundred years, but it has been broken in my generation, and my son, and my little grandson, cannot accept the inheritance of wizarding power."

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know this, I've traveled almost all over the world in my life, in order to find other wizard families and find solutions, until the outbreak of the virus, I heard that witchcraft has also appeared on the north-south battlefield in the east, so I came here to do business, on the one hand, to inquire about the whereabouts of wizards..."

"Oh..."

Li Zicheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and asked:

"Then what are the wizard families you know that still have inheritors?"

"Hmm... This one... Western wizarding families have largely disappeared a hundred years ago...... Only our family is still struggling......"

Rick's eyes were a little melancholy and unwilling, because now he didn't want the wizard family in the West to disappear from this world without a trace, and his grandfather had also thought about establishing a country that belonged to wizards, but now he didn't even have the qualifications to be a wizard.

Li Zicheng saw the melancholy in Rick's eyes, and apologized very embarrassed:

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Rick..."

"It's okay, it's okay... I don't mind, and I can only blame my body for not being able to withstand the power of the wizard's inheritance... Lived up to the expectations of my grandfather and my father......"

Rick explained that their family had had spell patterns on the back of their hands since they were born, but he was different, he was born without runes on his hands, and he couldn't form them by imparting powers. Oddly enough, this can also be hereditary, so none of his sons and grandchildren have it.

In the beginning, the Goddard family only helped the ancient kings, divining the heavens, predicting the outcome of the war, and whether the year would be rainy or dry. But after a long time, the mana of the elders in the family gradually increased, and they also began to do some improper work.

On the eve of his death, his grandfather had attached all of his power to a spell blueprint, which had been stolen during a virus outbreak. And the pattern of that spell is exactly the same as the one on the back of Li Zicheng's hand.

But for some reason, it appeared on Li Zicheng's body by mistake, and Li Zicheng appeared in front of him by mistake. Presumably, that person can pass on this power to outsiders, and there is definitely a way to pass it on to him, so he decided to use Li Zicheng to find that person.

Li Zicheng didn't know that he was going to be used, and after listening to Rick's explanation, he directly explained the purpose of his coming today:

"I got this spell by accident, so I'd like to know a little bit about how to use witchcraft......"

"That's right...... Let's go, I'll take you somewhere......"

Rick seemed to have thought of something, got up and led Li Zicheng to the storage room on the first floor, and then pressed his handprint on the wall.

Suddenly, the walls and floor glowed purple, the floor vibrated slightly, and a passage opened on the floor leading to the basement.

They walked down, and Li Zicheng found that the passage down was almost twenty meters high. When he reached the end of the passage, a wooden door was opened, and the basement of hundreds of square meters appeared in front of Li Zicheng's eyes, and it was ten meters high. Almost forty rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged together, and there are some ladders next to the bookshelves for easy access to books.

Seeing Li Zicheng's surprised look, Rick smiled happily:

"Don't be so surprised, sir, this basement was built by me nine years ago to store my family's books......"

"I didn't expect that there is something else in your store!"

Li Zicheng looked at the more than forty rows of bookshelves, and the expression on his face was still uncontrollable.

"Awards, awards, compared to the previous family library, this is not enough to worry about, come, let me take you to find the notes left by my grandfather about this spell pattern......"

Rick randomly chose a ladder and led Li Zicheng to the depths of the basement, then set up the ladder to the innermost row of bookshelves, climbed to the fifth floor, and pulled out a purple and gold notebook.

Rick handed it to Li Zicheng and said:

"This is a note that my grandfather left behind when he was alive, and he wrote down how to activate the charm, how to restore mana, and some witchcraft weapons......"

Li Zicheng took the notebook, flipped it open and checked it, and found that there was an explanation of the text of the spell.

Translated: hide in the darkness and yearn for the light

Li Zicheng was a little puzzled, so he asked Rick what this meant?

Rick looked at it and explained:

"This spell pattern was painted by my grandfather with witchcraft before leaving, as for the phrase "hidden in the darkness, yearning for the light" is actually about the witchcraft of this charm, my grandfather relied on witchcraft when he was young, and worked as a killer in the gang for ten years......"

"So this sentence may be left for posterity!"

Li Zicheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and then went down and found a way to activate the spell.

He found a place, sat down with bated breath, and then according to what was said in the note, clenched his fists, and silently recited the spell in his heart, and then the spell lit up, Li Zicheng was very surprised when he saw it, and immediately activated the Hidden Blade, and found that the Hidden Blade only appeared on the wrist for a few seconds, and then disappeared again.

Li Zicheng was a little puzzled, and began to look for the answer in the notebook, and Rick on the side showed an elusive expression when he saw it, some excited, some hesitant, and some jealous......

"It turns out that my mana consumption was too large before, so the mana left now can't activate the Hidden Blade at all......"

Li Zicheng muttered to himself in his heart.

However, he soon found the next one, "How to recover mana", and found that he actually needed human blood to recover.

No wonder it is rumored that on the battlefield between the north and the south, the northern soldiers who used witchcraft exploded and died on the spot, it turns out that this kind of witchcraft is blood-devouring.

However, when I remembered that I was in the base of the Synonymous Society before, why I had no mana for a long time, but I was still able to activate the spell, it turned out that this spell absorbed the blood of those monsters through the Hidden Blade and transformed it into a small amount of mana.

But if you really need human blood to recover, it will be a bit of a problem, because unlike Rick and his grandfather, he is not an assassin, but a soldier.
