Chapter 173 Second Search for Clansmen
“Nicholas?” The rich young master looked in disbelief, but his tone was no longer arrogant. “Are you really from the Nicholas family?”
Lily looked irritated. To her, she still did not know what the Nicholas family meant. “Duh. I already said my name is Lily Nicholas. If my surname is not Nicholas, what else can my surname be?”
The rich young master’s tone instantly became very respectful. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Don’t be angry.”
Lily quickly took a step back. Seeing his attitude was so different now compared to earlier, Lily immediately felt that he was not a good person. And now his smile seemed a little wretched to Lily.
“Let’s go,” Lily said to her two sidekicks. In the blink of an eye, she had fled and disappeared. The rich young master looked relieved. He retracted his flattering posture and said, “If we offend the Nicholas family, we’re doomed. However, why does this child from the Nicholas family look like a wild child?”
After all, this rich young master was not a local of Winterfrost. He had only come here to discuss business. If he had offended Lily earlier, he would be unlikely to close the business deal.
The rich young master quickly got someone to bring the large black dog over and also got someone to keep an eye on it. With this, he was no longer in the mood to shop, so he simply returned to the hotel.
In the hotel, the middle-aged man, who had just persuaded the rich young master, also entered the room. The moment he closed the door, a black figure appeared in the room. “Have you investigated properly?”
“Those are the lost clansmen whom the Nicholas family had found a month ago from a very far place. Furthermore, they are at least at level-3 of the Physical Body Realm,” the middle-aged man quickly replied.
“At least? Level-3 of the Physical Body Realm?” the black figure asked doubtfully.
“The cultivation technique she used to train is really a little special. I really don’t quite understand. I’m useless.” The middle-aged man’s voice was a little trembling. “I’ll go and investigate it for you later.”
“Continue to investigate,” the black figure said calmly.
“Yes! I understand.” The middle-aged man quickly followed the order. When he looked up again, he found that the black figure had already disappeared.
In the evening, everyone had almost fallen asleep. In the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family clan, Romo summoned the System again and activated the Lost Descendant Search Talisman in his inventory.
[Command Confirmation: The Lost Descendant Search Talisman has been successfully used.]
[A lost descendant has been randomly located.]
[Target’s Current Location: Varolan Continent, Gaise Nation, Cultivator State, Hardy County, Walls Village]
With the System notifications, Romo could sense a map appear in his mind. It showed the location of the lost clansman.
Cultivator State? Romo could not understand.
This place was at the border of the Valoran Continent, much further than where Lily and the others had been previously. He really did not know why these clansmen had ended up in such a far place.
However, Romo was almost certain that this time, it was not the lost clansman of the Nicholas family who had relocated 50 years ago. It might be someone who had been separated many years ago. Romo thought about it carefully. After all, at the peak of the Nicholas family clan, there were more than a hundred members in the entire family clan, and they were divided into two branches. There was gradually no news of one branch, and the other branch was annihilated by their enemy. It was normal for there to be many descendants of the Nicholas family outside.
However, this was also a good thing. With the Lost Descendant Search Talisman, Romo was confident that he could find them and gradually strengthen the Nicholas family.
[Ding! New mission has been generated.] [Mission Details: Search for lost descendants and bring at least one lost descendant back home (The more descendants found, the richer the rewards). Mission Time limit: 30 days.]
As expected, the System had generated a new mission. Furthermore, the time limit was double that of the previous one. Perhaps it was because the journey this time was even longer.
Romo recalled the many rewards the System had given him after the completion of the previous clansmen search mission. He became excited.
Romo had to go all out. He quickly used the Dream Appearing Talisman to appear in Ron’s dream. After all, Romo had already thought of the most suitable candidate for the Nicholas clansmen search mission. The next day, just after daybreak, Ron quickly left the forbidden ground to find Norton. Then, Norton summoned the Nicholas family to hold a family meeting in the hall.
“Has the Old Ancestor given some instructions again?”
Norton smiled and nodded. “That’s right. The Old Ancestor has also given us some clues about the lost clansmen outside. He has given us the order to find them.”
When everyone heard this news, they were all very happy, including Zoro, who had participated in the clansmen search mission previously. He was even more excited. “Where is it this time?”
“Cultivator State, Hardy County, Walls Village,” Norton replied. Unexpectedly, these clansmen were further away than the previous. Everyone was very surprised and stunned. As the highest ranked person in the Nicholas family, Ron was indeed the most suitable candidate for this clansmen search mission.
Moreover, the Cultivator State was at the border, and it was not that safe. There was also the covert threat of the four large family clans, so everyone also praised the Old Ancestor’s decision.
Moreover, the Old Ancestor’s arrangement should have been to train Ron, and it would also be of some help to increase the strength of the entire family.
After a short discussion, Ron rode out of Winterfrost alone and embarked on this lonely journey to find his clansmen.
Although no one had noticed Ron leaving the city, they did not know that there were a few pairs of eyes watching the Nicholas family in the dark.
In a hotel in Winterfrost.
The waiter brought a plate of food and knocked on the door of the room. After he entered, he quickly closed the door and said to the guest inside, “We have just received news that Ron has left the city alone and is heading toward the Cultivator State.” The person turned around. He was about 40 years old and did not look like a martial artist. He said calmly, “Got it.”
The waiter left tactfully. Before he left, he said, “Please enjoy the meal. Call me if there’s anything.”
Thus, the waiter immediately returned to his normal service appearance. He had completed his spy mission, so he restored his identity as a waiter.
The middle-aged man muttered to himself, “Is this a trap or is there really something urgent to get out of the city? However, since you dare to come out, don’t even think you’ll live!”
