Three small figures were jumping rapidly between the rooftops like agile monkeys. One of them was very fast, his movements were relaxed and light, and the two behind him looked a little flustered, as if they were trying their best to catch up.
“Slow down, slow down… Wait for us,” Dick Junior shouted as he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and jumped onto a roof in front of him. He accidentally crushed a tile and could not help but stagger. His body swayed a few times before he regained his balance.
“Move aside!” At this moment, Devon’s voice sounded from behind. Dick Junior turned around and saw the other party jumping toward him. His body was swaying in the air, and he was about to crash into him.
Dick Junior was shocked and quickly backed away. Then Devon landed where he had been standing and crushed two more tiles. He swayed from side to side and screamed. He was about to fall.
At this moment, a figure swept past Dick Junior and grabbed Devon’s collar, pulling him back.
It was Lily. Currently, Lily’s skin was not as dark as before. It had become delicate and moist, and her eyes had become more lively. However, her personality had not changed at all. She was still as lively and active as before.
Ever since she had finished her seclusion, she had been leading her two sidekicks out again, as if she wanted to make up for the lost playtime in the previous three months.
Unfortunately, her magical power had improved tremendously, making her feel the sense of loneliness of an expert. She had already lost the interest in fighting the former old enemies.
Over the past few days, they had been running around the city when they had nothing to do. They went up the trees and jumped around the houses. They could play and also practice their movement techniques.
Lily steadied Devon and curled her lips slightly. She said disdainfully, “Why are you guys so slow? You’re all Magi after all! How embarrassing!”
Devon blushed and said, “I… I’ve just become a level-1 Mage! And I’m not familiar yet. I’m not like you, Lily. You’re already a top Mage.”
Lily raised her chin. “Hmph! Who is to blame for your low aptitude? I won’t wait for you! Soon, I’ll be able to advance to the realm of the Great Mage! When the time comes, I’ll leave all of you far behind!”
This hundred days of seclusion was equivalent to more than 30 plus years of cultivation. It had allowed Dick Junior and Devon, the two children, to cultivate from ordinary people to become level-1 and level-2 Magi. This was already a very astonishing speed. After all, their aptitude was only ordinary at present. They had relied on divine-level magical power to become Magi in just 30 years.
As for Lily, with her genius aptitude and the special care from the Old Ancestor, she was naturally extraordinary. Currently, she was already a top Mage!!
In fact, it was not impossible to break through the realm. It was just that Romo did not want her to break through so quickly, lest her foundation become unstable, especially since a child’s temperament was unstable. She needed more tempering.
Although it was good to advance by leaps and bounds, going too far was as bad as not going well. After reaching a certain level, switching to consolidation was the safest choice.
“Eh? It looks lively over there!”
At this moment, Lily suddenly looked toward the entrance of the distant city gate. Her eyes lit up and she said, “Quick, let’s go and take a look!!”
As she spoke, she leaped and flew to another roof.
“Eh?! Wait for us!”
Dick Junior and Devon quickly followed, but they were a little slower. In the blink of an eye, Lily had left them behind by dozens of meters.
Just as Lily was about to leap again toward the roof in front of her, her expression suddenly changed. She seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned her head to look somewhere to the right, her eyes revealing shock.
At the same time, a figure shot out like lightning from a large tree more than 20 meters away, charging directly at Lily with cold killing intent!
Before he arrived, this person had already raised his hand and thrown out a few cold lights. Several hidden weapons shot toward Lily!
Lily was in the air and could not exert force. Although she was a top Mage, she was still a child and had almost no combat experience. She was about to fall into danger!
At the same time as Lily was attacked, a figure suddenly rushed out from a house beside Dick Junior and Devon. He threw a sharp chain at Dick Junior, who was closest to him!!
Dick Junior and Devon were caught off guard. When Dick Junior turned around in shock, the sharp chains were already in front of him!
Buzz! At this moment, an almost inaudible sound was suddenly heard. The wooden sword on Lily’s waist suddenly flew out automatically, turning into a blurry stream of light. It instantly shattered the few concealed weapons and then pierced through the assassin’s chest!
The assassin did not see anything clearly. His eyes widened, and then he fell halfway, smashing through a roof. At the same time, a beam of golden divine light suddenly emitted from Dick Junior’s body, instantly shattering the sharp blade of the chain. Then, the power of the divine light did not decrease, and it instantly hit the assassin who had just revealed a shocked expression!
“Ah!!” The assassin screamed and fell to the ground, crashing into an alley.
Lily then landed on the roof in front of her. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the blurry light circle in the air and fly back to her. Then, it automatically landed in her hand. Only then did she see clearly that it was her wooden sword!
Before Lily could think further, she heard a scream from behind. She was shocked again. She turned around and saw Dick Junior and Devon hugging each other in horror.
Lily quickly turned around and flew over to them. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Dick Junior pointed at the figure in the alley below and said in fear, “There are… there are bad guys!!”
Lily blinked, and her little head was working quickly. Although her tiny face was a little pale, she tried her best to remain calm. “Don’t panic! Don’t panic! In such a situation, our Old Ancestor has said that we should go home first! To find Brother Ron! Let’s go!!”
The three children immediately turned around and rushed back in the direction of the Nicholas family. However, just as they moved, they saw a figure flying over from afar and arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye!
Seeing who it was, the three children were stunned for a moment, and then they said in surprise, “Brother Ron!”
It was Ron!
Ron had been looking gloomy, but he relaxed when he saw the three children. He asked, “Are you guys okay?”
The three children shook their heads. Lily said, “We’re fine, Brother Ron. There are two bad guys there!”
As she spoke, she pointed at the spot where the two assassins had fallen.
Ron nodded slightly. “Yes, don’t be afraid. You guys go home first. Leave this to me.”
