Chapter 281: Refining and Counting

Regarding Edward’s death, everyone in the Nicholas family was very sad.

Now that Leonard had kept his remains, he planned to find a suitable place to bury them later. Edward was alone and had never mentioned that he wished to return to his hometown.

In fact, having a friend to collect his corpse and bury him after his death was considered very good in the magical world.

In Red Rose Sea’s mystic realm this time alone, it was unknown how many people had died inside and outside. Their corpses had basically been left in the open to rot and become bones and ashes… There was none of the dignity they had when they were alive. In the future, they would only become a pile of yellow soil.

Then, there was the escape of the retainer, Holken. Although the Nicholas family members were resentful, he was already dead, so there was no need to say anything more.

Everyone chatted in the hall for a while, and then Harris, Leonard, and the others left to rest.

Ron and Dick followed Norton and the others to the ancestral hall to pay respect to their Old Ancestor.

When this group of people arrived at the ancestral hall, everything was as usual.

After they had paid their respects and reported their safety, Ron, Dick, and the head of the family, Norton, went to the family clan’s forbidden ground together.

At this moment, Ron and Dick told them everything without holding anything back. Only then did Norton know everything that had happened in the cave, including the Old Ancestor appearing to save them.

“Alright, let’s do as the Old Ancestor says and release that puppet creation in the forbidden ground.” Norton looked at Ron.

“Alright.” Ron took out the purple ring and probed it with his magical power. Then, he waved his hand forward, and a huge golden figure landed in the empty ground.

“Hiss—”

As soon as it was out, the nine-headed golden python charged at the three of them, wanting to attack them.

However, in the next moment, the void in the family clan’s forbidden ground suddenly froze. Then, with a buzzing sound, some invisible force seemed to have appeared; it pressed the nine python heads of the level-7 puppet against the ground!

In the forbidden ground of the Nicholas family clan, everything was under Romo’s control.

In the current situation, it could be said that the forbidden ground was a gaming arena, and the level-7 puppet creation in it was just a toy that could be played with at will.

Previously, in the cave in the mystic realm, when Romo had casually picked up this thing and stuffed it into the storage ring, he had noticed that this puppet creation seemed to be interesting. However, he did not have the time to think about it carefully back then. Now, he could study it carefully.

“Eh… I see…”

After a while, he roughly understood.

Romo looked at Dick and activated the Strange Sacred Flame in his body.

As the host of the Ancestral Protection System, he could completely control everything provided by the System, even if the Strange Sacred Flame had already been refined into his body.

In the forbidden ground, Norton and the others were surprised. They did not know how the level-7 puppet had been pressed to the ground.

Suddenly, Dick’s heart skipped a beat. Before he could do anything, the Sun-Devouring Flame surged out from his body!

Everyone present was surprised. Immediately after, they noticed that the crazily surging Strange Sacred Flame had not lost control. At this moment, it was extending its tongue of flame and swallowing the nine-headed golden python into the fire!

“Hiss—”

The level-7 nine-headed python puppet hissed in fear and struggled to break free from the flames, but it was still firmly restrained.

Dick looked at the Strange Sacred Flame in front of him and his heart skipped a beat. He had not controlled it. The Old Ancestor had guided him to use the flames to refine this puppet creation!

Ron and Norton, who were beside him, had also understood now. They looked at him as if to ask if it was their Old Ancestor.

Dick nodded and replied, “It was the Old Ancestor’s instruction.”

With that said, he sat down on the ground and focused his attention on sensing the status of the Sun-Devouring Flame.

Norton and Ron watched for a while. Seeing that the situation was normal, they left the forbidden ground with the others and let Dick concentrate on the refinement.

After leaving the forbidden ground, Norton and Ron came to the treasure vault of the hexagonal building and took stock of the treasures they had obtained from this trip to the Red Rose Sea.

The items obtained on this trip were of extremely high value. Not only were there a series of treasures from the Red Rose Sea’s mystic realm, there were also many treasures on Old Man Pale Face and the Green-Robed Old Man!

These two Divine Magi had already cultivated magical power for more than a thousand years. They could be said to be old freaks, so they were naturally extremely rich.

Once they emptied the storage rings of the two of them, the number of treasures in the Nicholas family’s treasure vault immediately doubled!!

Just sacred tools alone, there were already three!!

Magical power secret manuals, magical weapons, magical treasures, potions, pills, natural treasures, and refinement materials were uncountable!

The grandfather and grandson had been taking stock of the items in the family’s treasure vault for a long time. The current head of the Nicholas family, Norton, smiled so hard that his wrinkles increased, and his mouth could not close.

However, although the quantity was huge, and everything was good, in the end, they did not find the divine-tier inheritance of the master of mystic realm.

… …

At about the same time, in the sky above the Nicholas family, Corsia stood in the air and looked down at the Nicholas family. There was surprise and joy in her eyes as she muttered,

“Brother Romo, your family descendants seem to have a great opportunity…”

Previously, when she had sensed that Ron and the others had returned to the family, Corsia had left the Nicholas family and stayed here to observe the family. In just a short while, she had been shocked.

Compared to the “update on the situation of the Nicholas family” she had obtained previously, what was presented in front of her now was even more shocking!

Disregarding everything else, just the number of genius clansmen in the Nicholas family was terrifying!

Under normal circumstances, it was much more difficult to develop a family clan of magical power than to develop a magical power. This was because in a family clan, there was no guarantee that the descendants would all have excellent cultivation talent. Even if the family clan had a large number of people, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be clansmen with good cultivation talent.

On the other hand, magical power cultivation was different. If from the beginning, good talent had been selected to join, they would naturally develop and become stronger.

Currently, the Nicholas family only had a few dozen clansmen, and there were nearly ten geniuses among them!

Although the talent of the rest for magical power cultivation was a little inferior, their levels had far surpassed the levels of an ordinary group with the same talent and age!

Also, there was actually a mysterious place under the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family that even she could not explore!

It was like a box that could not be opened. It made one’s heart itch…

As much as she was surprised by this mysterious area, she was also a little curious, just a little.

She did not know that if Romo had not released in advance the magic protective formation of the Nicholas family, she would not have been able to slip into the ancestral hall so easily.

Corsia had originally wanted to take care of Romo’s descendants, but from the look of the current situation, it did not seem necessary.

With the current situation of the Nicholas family, they had a deep foundation and great potential. Even if she did not intervene, they would still develop and grow… If she were to intervene forcefully, it might even destroy the original rhythm of development.

In any case, she had already given the warning earlier on the Red Rose Sea that she would kill. Thus, she could at least ensure the safety of the Nicholas family for a hundred years.

Since she was already here, she would go ‘there’ next.

Corsia’s eyes were bright as she looked into the distance and stepped away.
