After hearing that, the burly Knight Commander instantly became solemn as his expression turned serious.
To die in battle protecting their own master, that was the greatest honor of the Feylan Cavalry.
Field said solemnly: “I understand. Regarding the thirteen knights, I will announce to the cavalry and all the towns, their families should receive compensation and preferential treatment from the Feylan Family!”
Edward nodded to show he understood.
Edward had naturally investigated the backgrounds of the thirteen knights beside him, and all of them were selected from villages in the Feylan Territory.
The gifts from the Feylan Family were more than enough to last these family members for a few lifetimes.
In this incident, Edward chose to lie. After all, the fewer people who knew about the mysterious power and the curse, the better.
Besides, the topic of wizards was a taboo topic in the Levi Empire.
This was also to save him some unnecessary trouble.
After summarizing the aftermath of the attack, Edward followed a knight who was guarding the city gate into the Feylan Capital.
As for Field, he hurriedly announced the deeds of the thirteen heroes, as well as the compensation and gifts for their families.
“Knight Jacques, did anything happen during my absence?”
Looking at the endless stream of people entering and exiting the Feylan Capital, Edward asked the knight beside him curiously.
“Yes! Esteemed Young Master Edward, in a few days, it will be your elder sister Princess Alfie’s wedding!”
The knight was excited that Edward remembered his name!
There was nothing more honorable than being remembered by their master!
“Married? Who is my dear sister marrying?” Edward asked thoughtfully, “I really can’t imagine, which brave warrior dares to take down this lion!?”
Regarding the matters of the Feylan Family, Edward was not very interested in them, but coincidentally, his sister Alfie was one of the things he was very interested in!
The ‘Jewel of Feylan Capital’ was originally used to describe Edward’s sister. However, after Edward’s cultivation began, he had advanced by leaps and bounds, and this title was naturally passed onto him.
Princess Alfie was a genius Silver Knight.
As her brother, Edward naturally knew how bad her personality was.
After traveling for a few months, if not for the little knight’s reminder, he would have forgotten that he had such a sister.
She was more than two years older than him.
It was indeed time to get married.
This marriage was definitely a political one.
If not, he wondered which young master was so brave.
However, this was none of his business. He would probably just stand on the stage as her younger brother and give his blessing.
“Honorable Young Master Edward, Princess Alfie’s wedding partner is the young master of the Carlo Family beside us.”
“Is that so?” Edward tried to recall the memories of the Carlo Family in his mind, but found that there was not much.
He did not even know the name of the young master of the Carlo Family.
“When I have time, I really have to go and meet this brave warrior.” Edward whispered to himself.
The castle in the center of the Feylan Capital was Edward’s home.
The journey was not too far.
After walking with the knight for only half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the castle.
At the highest point of the castle was his room.
This was the status of the heir to the Feylan Family.
It meant that he had the authority to oversee all that was within the Feylan territory.
None of the other members of the Feylan Family were unconvinced. After all, they had been beaten up so badly by Edward that they did not dare to have any other thoughts.
This proved that Edward deserved it.
Walking to the desk and pushing open the window, Edward easily saw the entire Feylan Capital.
Countless small figures were bustling about in the city, living busy lives.
Edward took out the ancient book he had ‘borrowed’ from his mother’s family and started studying it.
The meditation technique that he lacked the most right now was the elementary meditation technique of the wizard. It was obvious that his mother’s family had countless connections with wizards.
Edward frowned as he looked at the book.
All these years, he had been looking at it ever since he obtained it, but from the beginning until the end, it only contained rumors and nonsense.
It was not easy for him to obtain the origin source of curses and the Beauty Snake’s bloodline.
Where would he find the key to open the door that led to a new world?
“System, check if there are any records regarding wizards in this book!” As usual, Edward ordered the system.

However, the outcome this time was different from before.
[System prompt: Detected a weak mysterious energy reaction on page 23. Detecting… Time needed: 1 minute… Please hold on!]
Edward was delighted when he heard the system’s voice. Before he obtained the bloodline of the Snake of Curses, there was nothing that could be detected in this book.
Unexpectedly, there was a finding today!
[System prompt: An encrypted password has been found in this text. It is currently being deciphered. Trying to arrange and decipher it. Voice sequence deciphered, node deciphered.]
Edward’s expression changed. Indeed, there was a secret in this book.
[System prompt: The difficulty of decryption has increased, attempting the 624,841,285th decryption to find the correct pattern. Host, please wait patiently!]
[System prompt: This decryption has been decoded! The result is a poem! Do you want to continue decoding?]
Edward looked at the 23rd page of the book in his hand, which was constantly rearranging itself into a poem of about 400 words.
Edward could roughly understand the meaning of the poem.
This was a poem recited by a witch before she died from being burned alive.
The content was regarding how people harmed these wizards and witches…
And according to the system’s prompt, this poem could be deciphered a second time!
Troublesome?
No, no, no, Edward was not troubled at all!
The mystery of the wizard was about to be unveiled here, and he felt only excitement.
“System, carry out the second decryption!”
Edward gripped the ancient book in his hand tightly and exhaled slowly as he looked at the sunset.
All these years of hard work would finally pay off now.
Even the pendant around his neck could not suppress his pounding heart.
[System prompt: The poem on the 23rd page will be deciphered a second time. Currently attempting to arrange and decode it. Voice sequence deciphered, node deciphered. The correct method has been found, remaining duration: 3 minutes!]
