Chapter 2154


    After reaching the vige, Laelia exined, “Thousands of years ago, my family’s forbearers lived in


    this vige.”


    James nodded lightly and said, “Mhm. The ind appears ordinary at first nce, but there were many


    unusual things along the way. It’s evidently a ce left behind by a very powerful person. However, did


    he really leave behind his legacy here?”


    Laelia shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about that. ording to my family’s oral tradition, he left


    behind an inheritance for the younger generations of our family to attract them to the ind. We’re


    allowed to search the ind to see if we can find the boons he left us. as adults. However, none of our


    family members have found it even after allt his time.”


    “Is that so?”


    James questioned her, “This is your family’s ancestralnd. Your family’s forebearers have lived on this


    ind and should know where to look for the boons, right?.”


    Laelia nodded slightly and said, “My family’s ancestralnd is rather ordinary and looks just like every


    other ind. The only thing special is the grotto behind the vige.”


    “Oh? There’s a grotto?”


    Laelia’s statement caught James’ attention. He asked, “What kind of grotto is it?”


    Laelia exined, “It’s a bottomless grotto. Since ancient times, our family members would go to the


    grotto to try their luck in finding the inheritance when theye of age. However, they’ve always


    returned empty-handed.”


    James asked, “Then, what’s so special about it?”


    Laelia exined, “Our family has passed down by word of mouth that a magical power will appear in


    the grotto every once in a while. A light will appear along with the magical power. However, the


    phenomenon would disappear after my family members entered the grotto.”


    Laelia briefly talked aboutthe grotto behind the vige.


    In short, it was a ce full of magic, mysteries, and unknown secrets.


    Many myths about this ce were spread amongst the Targywn family. It was said that their ancestor


    had also left behind an unrivaled signature martial art skill. In a person’s hands, it would allow their


    strength to improve by many fold.


    It had been rumored that there was a great fortune hidden within the grotto.


    Countless myths about the grotto had been passed through the generation.


    “Let’s go inside the vige, James.”


    Laelia led James into the vige.


    There were many simple buildings inside the vige. However, they were worn out, and it was evident


    no one had lived in them for a long time.


    Soon, an old man approached them.


    The old man had a slightly hunched back. He wore a gray robe and walked with a cane. Beside

    him was a girl about 17 to 18years old.


    “Sir Sylvester.”


    Laelia walked over to him and greeted him respectfully.


    She looked in James’ direction and exined, “This is our family’s elder that has been guarding the


    ancestralnd. His name is Sylvester Targwyn. Father told me that Sir Sylvester has been guarding this


    ce for a thousand years.”


    Sylvester looked at Laelia, and a smile formed on his wrinkled face. “Laelia.”


    Laelia pulled James over and introduced, “Sir Sylvester, this is James. He’s our family’s savior.


    Recently, our family underwent a crisis and he rescued us from doom. Had he note, our family


    would’ve been wiped out. To repay James for his life-saving grace, my father has asked me to bring


    him around our ancestralnd to see if he’s able to attain anything of value for himself.”


    Hearing this, Sylvester looked at James with a strange expression.


    The strange look disappeared in the next second.


    With a smile on his wrinkled face, he said, “I see.”


    Laelia suddenly recalled something and asked, “By the way, Sir Sylvester. With the recent appearance


    of the seal, our family’s heirloom has projected some visions. Is our family’s jade pendant connected to


    the seal?”
