Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Chapter 225 - Guests

Chapter 225: Guests

In the Nicholas family hall, just as Romo heard the System notifications for the urgent mission, before he could do anything, he immediately heard the System notifications for the mission completion.
He was stunned for a moment before he relaxed.
This was not the first time this had happened. It meant that the danger to the descendants had been averted.
He had already used the Visitation Talisman and seen Lily and the others.
He had resolved this crisis with just one Ancestral Protection Talisman on Dick Junior. This was not bad, although the mission rewards were not much.!!
In fact, even if the Ancestral Protection Talisman had not been activated, Lily’s top-grade Sacred Tool, the Sword Embryo, would have been able to save Dick Junior. It was just that the tool had triggered automatically first upon sensing the threat.
After some days of nurturing, the top-grade Sacred Tool, the Sword Embryo, had gradually developed a holy aura, and it was also close to Lily, who had accompanied it day and night. It was equivalent to a Sacred Tool that had grown up with Lily. Even if it was only at the elementary level, it could already automatically protect its master. Killing those few people earlier would be as easy as flipping one’s hand.
After Ron, Herbert and a few other clansmen also arrived. Ron asked them to bring the three children home and quickly dealt with the scene.
The two assassins were already dead, but even if they were caught alive, it would probably not be possible to interrogate anything out of them.
Or rather, without interrogation, one could also guess who the mastermind was.
Ron stood on the roof of the place where the incident had occurred and looked around one last time. His gaze stopped in the direction of the city gate for a second and he frowned slightly. However, he did not do anything else, and his figure then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, at the southern entrance of Winterfrost, a luxurious carriage was slowly driving into the city, attracting many onlookers and causing discussions.
The commotion Lily had wanted to see earlier had been caused by this group.
In the carriage, although the window was not open, an old man in a gray robe was frowning as he looked up in a certain direction. His eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
Opposite the old man sat a young man in splendid clothes. He was about 27 or 28 years old, with sharp brows and bright eyes. He had an extraordinary aura. He looked at the old man and asked, “Chief Steward Kuli, what’s wrong?”
The old man with the surname Kuli retracted his gaze and said, “Your Highness, I have discovered a small situation, but it seems to have been resolved.”
His voice was sharp, and it was a little different from his appearance and age. It gave off a strange feeling.
The young man nodded slightly and did not care. He looked down at a gem in his hand and asked, “Chief Steward Kuli, what do you think those Nicholas family members that had entered the Calamity Mountain Range want?”
Old Man Kuli said in a sharp voice, “It looks like they’re going there to train, but it’s really puzzling that a group of key members of the family clan, including the family head and the deputy head, would enter the Calamity Mountain Range together. Even if they want to lure the enemies out of their hole, there’s no need.”
The young man’s eyes also flickered with puzzlement. He said, “First, there was Masha and Capron, and then there was Hieror and so on. Six experts have already pursued them, but none of them have returned. Even the people investigating have all been lost. It’s impossible for Karuman alone to deal with those people. Clearly, there are mysterious experts lying in wait. Was the person who killed the eight experts from the four large family clans of the Holy Light City able to do so with just a Sacred Tool?”
The old man with the surname Kuli smiled bitterly and said, “I wouldn’t dare to make a wild guess. There are too few clues.”
The young man smiled and said, “In any case, I don’t think anyone will dare to go up and court death. The Nicholas family clan also has a peak-level Guardian Spirit Beast in command. Those people probably could only watch helplessly.”
The old man with the surname Kuli said, “Although the Nicholas family clan seems to have many secrets, they have always given off an uncertain feeling. If they are really powerful, why are they hiding it? Your Highness, is there a need to be so anxious to get in touch with them?”
The young man’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said meaningfully, “If it’s any slower, I’m afraid it won’t be my turn. In any case, I’ve been very free recently. I’ll just take it as coming out to relax and make a blind bet. Even if I make a mistake, I have nothing to lose.”
The old man with the surname Kuli smiled and said nothing more.
The carriage drove all the way to the center of the city under the gaze of the citizens and finally drove into the City Lord Residence.
On the other side, after Ron had returned to the Nicholas family, he sent some people to investigate the background of the two assassins. Although they would most likely not be able to find anything, he had to give it a try.
The Nicholas family had actually been mentally prepared for this situation, so they did not panic.
Norton and the others were not at home now, so the family was naturally temporarily managed by Ron, who was of the highest level. In fact, he did not need to do anything. Norton had made arrangements for the secular businesses at home before he left, and Jack and the others were also in charge of them. There would not be any problems.
In fact, during this period of time, there had been people trying to stop the development of the secular businesses of the Nicholas family clan. Unfortunately, the development of the Nicholas family clan was unstoppable. Even if someone had used some tricks, it would not shake the progress of the Nicholas family’s business development.
Currently, the three commercial paths of the Nicholas family clan, soap, perfume, and special wine, had almost covered the entire country. They were tied together with countless large merchant factions. If anyone wanted to touch the commercial businesses of the Nicholas family clan, those people would be the first not to agree. Jack had also joined the merchant alliance of the Shu capital and had a high status.
Soon, it was afternoon.
In the family clan’s forbidden ground, Ron spent half a day refining another batch of grade-4 pills.
His level had already reached a bottleneck, and he was not in a hurry to break through, so he no longer needed to cultivate. He could just put all his energy into studying alchemy.
He was already familiar with refining grade-4 pills, but he was still trying to experiment with refining grade-5 pills. The main reason was that the alchemy materials were rather precious. He had already exhausted a lot of them from practicing these few days.
Nurturing weapon refiners and alchemists would use a lot of money. Ordinary factions could not afford them.
“I wonder how Grandpa and the others are doing now?”
After Ron had finished refining a furnace of pills, he took a break and could not help but think of his family members who had gone out.
Now, there were even people in the city who had made a move on the children of the Nicholas family clan. It could be imagined that Norton and the others, who were out, would definitely suffer more dangerous attacks.
However, Ron was still confident in their strength. He estimated that they should have already reached the Calamity Mountain Range and would only return after a month of training.
When they returned, it would be time for the Nicholas family to return to the Holy Light City.
As he was thinking, Ron suddenly raised his eyebrows and his head to look up, then he stood up and walked out of the forbidden ground.
Outside, an old servant was already waiting at the entrance of the main hall. It was the butler of the Nicholas family, Abel.
When Abel saw Ron come out, he said respectfully, “Young Master Ron, the City Lord has come to visit.”
Ron had long known the situation through his soul. He nodded slightly and walked toward the main hall of the Nicholas family. The guest had already been welcomed into the main hall.
