[Received medium-grade earth-tier divine power, Divine Deterrence Technique]
[Divine Deterrence Technique: Medium-grade earth-tier magical power. It can release a powerful soul to suppress and intimidate the target.]
With the System notifications, some information about the Divine Deterrence Technique appeared in Romo’s mind.
However, Romo felt that this magical power was a little strange. If he had to categorize it, it should be an attack-type magical power, and one that was relatively rare against mental attacks. However, the Divine Deterrence Technique could not cause harm to the target. It could only intimidate the target.
In other words, it was a bit of a bluff, without any substantial attack power. However, if it could be used well, it would not consume too much energy but could also serve as a deterrent to the other party. It could be considered a rather weird magical power.
Furthermore, it was a medium-grade earth-tier divine power. It could be considered to have some value, so it was kept as a backup.
As for the Ancestral Protection Talismans and Ancestral Blessing Talisman, Romo had no use for them for the time being, so he placed them all in his inventory. Now that he had the Ancestral Protection Talismans, the Lost Descendant Search Talisman, which he had not used yet, should come in handy. “Howl!” A dog howl suddenly sounded. It sounded very miserable.
“Don’t run. Play with me for a while more.” It was Lily who was chasing behind. “How boring. It’s not even as good as that big spotted dog earlier.”
Lily was a little disappointed and a little proud as she looked at the little boy beside her, who was a head shorter than her. “Is there no dog more fierce than it?”
The little boy nodded in surprise. “This is really the fiercest dog. I’m very afraid of it now.”
“Forget it, maybe it is already very powerful. It’s just that I’m more powerful now.” Lily clapped her hands and looked up like an adult as she said this. She had a lonely feeling of being invincible.
“Give him one of the candied haws,” Lily commanded the two children, who had come out with her, like a big boss. The two children were squatting on the ground playing with stones. When they heard Lily, they immediately gave the little boy a candied haw.
After the little boy had obtained the candied haw, he was very pleased. He had licked it and skipped his way home. This could be considered a reward for helping Lily find the dog
“Lily, isn’t it time for us to go home?” One of the children asked, his voice full of worry. “If we go back late, the family head is likely to reprimand us again.”
These two children were the ones who had been brought back together as lost clansmen. They usually played better with Lily, and since Lily’s level was higher, they were willing to listen to her.
“Alright, let’s go home. We’ll come again tomorrow to see if there are any more powerful dogs.” Lily looked back a little indignantly. “These few dogs are really too weak. They’re not as resistant as those few dogs where I used to live previously.”
Over the past few days, Norton had finally lifted the order forbidding the Nicholas family members from going out. After all, the crisis of the four large family clans had been temporarily averted. This had made Lily very happy. She worked very hard every day to gain experience. Whenever she had the time, she would run out to find a few dogs to compete with.
Lily really wanted to find someone to fight and see her current standard. However, the standards of the Nicholas family members were too high, so Lily thought of finding a vicious dog to test her skills.
Lily had checked out all the vicious dogs in the city, but she could not find any vicious dogs who were her match.
After all, Lily was already at level-5 of the Physical Body Realm currently. Even if she did not use the energy in her body, those vicious dogs would not be her match.
The three of them ate their candied haws as they skipped in the direction of the Nicholas family palace.
Suddenly, they discovered a commotion in front of them. Many people were shouting and fleeing in all directions. Lily and the other two walked forward and found a beggar in ragged clothes on the street. Behind him was a large black dog that looked very fierce and looked like it wanted to eat people. “What breed of dog is this? It looks very awesome.” When Lily saw the dog, her eyes lit up. She felt that she had finally found a dog to compete with
However, most of what Lily had seen previously were rural dogs. This was the first time she had seen this kind of dog.
“Ah!” Suddenly, the beggar fell and cried out in pain. He scrambled to Lily’s feet. The other two were frightened. Only Lily looked calm. She realized that the large black dog would pounce on anyone it saw. It looked like it had not eaten in days.
Just as the big black dog was about to pounce on the beggar, Lily raised her leg and kicked the dog a few meters away. She asked the beggar, “Are you alright?”
“Howl!” Not only was the large dog not injured, it seemed to have been provoked. It barked and charged at Lily.
“I’ve finally met my match.” Lily raised her fist excitedly.
Just as the big dog was about to pounce on her, Lily’s little hand punched the dog’s head.
“Stop!” Someone suddenly shouted. It was not known if the shout had been directed at Lily or the large black dog. Lily looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was a rich young master in gorgeous clothes, with several servants following behind him.
“Little friend, you actually dared to hit my dog.” The rich young master saw that the dog was a little injured and became a little angry. “Who has the nerve to hit my dog?”
“It was obvious that your dog had bitten someone first before I taught him a lesson.” Lily also felt that she had not done anything wrong. “And, is this dog of yours banned from fighting?”
When the rich young master heard these words, he became even angrier. “Do you know how expensive my dog is? If you had injured it, can you afford to pay? Little kid, your tone is too arrogant.”
“Arrest this little girl and the few people beside her. Arrest them all,” the rich man ordered his servants. “I’m going to make her admit her mistake personally today.”
Just as the servants were about to go forward, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared and said something in the rich young master’s ear. The rich young master’s expression changed from that of surprise to disbelief.
“Wait a moment.” The middle-aged man’s words made the rich young master stop the servants.
“Little friend, what’s your name?” the rich young master asked.
“My name is Lily, or Lily Nicholas,” Lily replied proudly. Now that someone else had asked Lily whose family she was from, she could answer very boldly, because she was no longer a wild child without a home.
She was currently Lily Nicholas, a descendant of the Nicholas family.
