Chapter 188 Rewards for Efforts
Of the 11 people who had returned to the family clan this time, two of them were old family members who had been separated for more than 50 years. However, their situation was much better than that of Aaron, who had been separated earlier. They had all cultivated, and not like Aaron and the others did not know anything about magical power.
However, due to the limitations of the environment and resources, although they had cultivated before, their levels were not too high. Their knowledge of magical power had basically stopped 50 years ago.
Herbert was already 66 years old, but he was only at level-5 of the Physical Body Realm.
Bori was already 53 years old and was at level-4 of the Physical Body Realm. After he returned to the Nicholas family clan, he became the oldest person among the 16th generation of the Nicholas family clan.
Bori’s father was Norton’s cousin. He had been seriously injured more than 50 years ago and did not survive but died of illness soon after.
Herbert had a son and daughter. The son’s name was Elijah. He was 40 years old and was at level-3 of the Physical Body Realm. The daughter’s name was Luna. She was 37 years old now and was at level-2 of the Physical Body Realm.
There were also four juniors of the 17th generation who had returned together. They were William, the son of Elijah, 15 years old; and Aida, Luna’s daughter.
Bori also had a pair of children. His son, Kennedy, was twenty-two years old, and his daughter, Ash, was twenty.
The few young persons could be regarded as having just entered the elementary level of magical power. All these people who were related by blood to the Nicholas family clan, including their wives and husbands, had entered the Nicholas family genealogy.
As for Luna’s husband, he was considered to have married into the family, but he had no objections.
Romo looked at their personal information briefly and found that although they had briefly come into contact with magical power, their cultivation talent and aptitude were not especially high. They were all ordinary people.
In this way, he could only let them come into contact with higher-tier cultivation techniques first. Norton would guide them. If they could obtain better tools from their missions in the future, he would then give them better resources.
Fortunately, with the addition of these 11 clansmen, Romo could obtain a lot more Faith Points every day.
After the ancestral worship ritual had been completed, the servants started to prepare dinner. The entire Nicholas family was immersed in the atmosphere of having found their clansmen.
After the meal, everyone from the Nicholas family returned to their rooms to rest. The Nicholas family palace finally quietened down and regained its usual calm.
However, on the tree in the backyard of the palace, the Five-Color Peacock, which had already closed its eyes to cultivate in seclusion, suddenly opened its eyes and looked around warily. It seemed to be a little helpless and also a little reluctant. It was as if it had suddenly been woken up from its sleep.
The Five-Color Peacock had been awakened by its master, Romo.
“Don’t worry, I’m not giving you an order this time. Go into seclusion and train well in the next few days.” The Five-Color Peacock quickly received Romo’s thoughts. “However, you have performed very well in this mission, so I have something for you.”
Suddenly, something flew out from the direction of the ancestral hall. The Five-Color Peacock took a closer look and saw that it was actually a core. A pleasantly surprised expression immediately appeared in the eyes of the Five-Color Peacock. It immediately spread its wings and pounced on the core, swallowing it instantly into its stomach.
When the core flew out from the ancestral hall, a faint figure could be seen on it. However, the Five-Color Peacock did not have the chance to see it clearly before it excitedly ate it. After it had finished eating, the Five-Color Peacock’s expression seemed to be that of great satisfaction.
At this moment, Karuman, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes as if he had sensed something amiss. He looked in the direction of the Five-Color Peacock. “What happened just now? Has the Five-Color Peacock eaten a core?” Karuman thought to himself.
Moreover, according to his senses, there seemed to be a soul that had not completely dissipated in the core which the Five-Color Peacock had eaten. Where had this soul come from and whose was it? It was too strange for a core to suddenly appear.
Karuman thought for a moment and associated it with the bloody odor he had smelled earlier. It might be related to that. This meant that the bloody odor had come from a Mage above level-7 of the Divine Power Realm. And from the looks of it, the Five-Color Peacock had nothing to do with it.
In that case, who was the one who had dealt with this person? Karuman thought for a while and could not figure out who in the Nicholas family could have destroyed a Mage at level-7 of the Divine Power Realm without much effort. He had even made a core and fed it to the Five-Color Peacock.
Karuman dared not think further. The secret of the Nicholas family clan was too big. If he were to find out some secret one day, he might not even be able to survive.
As Karuman was lost in his thoughts, Romo was communicating with the Five-Color Peacock with his mind.
After eating the core, the Five-Color Peacock excitedly conveyed its joy to Romo.
Romo smiled and sent a thought over. “Don’t be too happy yet. There’s still another reward.”
With that said, he summoned the System and chose the Guardian Spirit Beast Nurture Talisman in his inventory.
[Command Confirmation: Use the Guardian Spirit Beast Nurture Talisman Talisman. Successfully selected target.]
(Nurture successful. Target’s bloodline and talent have been enhanced (The baby beast has received double the effect)]
As soon as the System finished speaking, in the crib beside Anthony, the egg of the spirit beast which Anthony was holding suddenly emitted a few weak lights, and the patterns on the egg became even deeper.
When the Five-Color Peacock saw this scene, an incredulous expression appeared in its eyes. At the same time, it was also mixed with tremendous surprise. It had already sensed the change in the spirit beast egg.
After being shocked for a long while, it finally remembered to express his gratitude to Romo.
“There’s no need to be so excited. Be a good Guardian Spirit Beast of the Nicholas family clan. You won’t miss out on such benefits in the future,” Romo said.
Karuman, who had been resting, opened his mouth in surprise. Clearly, he had also sensed the change in the spirit beast egg, but he did not know what had happened.
As Karuman was thinking, a familiar voice sounded above him. “Your performance today was very good. I’m very pleased.”
This voice pulled Karuman’s thoughts back to reality. Only then did Karuman realize that it was his master, so he replied respectfully, “Master, all this is what I should do.”
“You have made contributions this time, so you should be rewarded,” Romo said without any hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Karuman sensed a large amount of information in his mind.
