Looking at the System notifications, Romo was glad that he had the Ancestral Protection Talisman to help Little Arthur avert this crisis. Otherwise, even though he had the System, he was not sure if he could make it in time. If he had not made it in time, Romo would be so remorseful that he would have no place to go.
It seems that this Ancestor Protection Talisman is quite effective. I must get him another one.
With this in mind, Romo opened the System Shop and bought another Ancestral Protection Talisman. Then, Romo recalled that the System had rewarded him with some items for accomplishing the mission earlier. He immediately started checking.
[Tenfold Cultivation Talisman: It can increase one’s cultivation speed by tenfold. The effect will last for a month. The effect cannot be stacked.]
Yes, not bad. It is another tool that can increase one’s cultivation speed. Right now, their strength is still insufficient. They will have to increase their strength as soon as possible, and these tenfold cultivation talismans will be very useful. I’ll give them to my descendants later.
Romo thought. Then he continued to look at the 10 Distribution Points of luck, which he was free to distribute.
Right now, the family needs to increase their strength as soon as possible. If they are strong, those bad guys would not dare to provoke them.
Therefore, Romo added the 10 points directly to the luck for magical power.
At this time, Sonia had already found the family head Norton and told him about the sudden attack. Norton was shocked and indignant when he heard about it.
“How is Little Arthur? Has he been injured?” Norton quickly looked toward Little Arthur, who was in Avril’s arms. This was the future lion of their family clan. Nothing must happen to him.
“Arthur’s fine,” Avril said. Norton examined him closely and was relieved to see that Arthur was not even frightened.
But when he looked up, he saw Avril open her mouth to speak, then stopped. Norton said immediately, “What is it? What else is there? Don’t hide it from me.”
Avril immediately said, “At that time, a centipede almost bit Arthur. I was scared silly and didn’t know what to do. But I remember clearly that at the critical moment, a beam of golden light had shot out from Arthur’s body and killed the centipede. I don’t know what the golden light was or if it was an illusion.”
“Golden light?” After hearing Avril’s words, Norton was momentarily stunned. He immediately recalled that on the night Little Arthur was born, his luck had been plundered by someone. It was only when Old Ancestor shot out a golden arrow that the enemy was defeated and fled. This time, it was again a golden light that had saved Little Arthur. It must have been the Old Ancestor who intervened to save Little Arthur again!
“Yes, it was a golden light! What exactly was that?”
“It was ancestral protection!” Norton did not hide anything and said it directly. After all, many people had seen more powerful happenings before, so no one would really believe him even if he told them.
“Ancestral protection?”
“Yes, it was the ancestral protection. Bring Arthur later and follow me to the ancestral hall to kowtow to our Old Ancestor.”
“Alright, alright.” Although Avril did not believe in the illusory Old Ancestor, she had no choice but to do as the family head said.
Although it had been a close call, he had to investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who had attacked Little Arthur. Hence, Norton asked Sonia and Zoro to return to the place where they were attacked to investigate. Soon, they returned with a centipede which was half-dead.
“Father, look, this is the centipede which had attacked us. This is no ordinary centipede, but a centipede which had been enhanced by magical power. There is still some magical breath on it which has not fully dissipated!” Sonia said furiously. If it had not been for the Old Ancestor, Little Arthur would have been killed by these centipedes.
Norton took the centipede. Indeed, he could sense the faint magical breath on it. It seemed like there was really someone who had attacked the Nicholas family clan from behind the scenes. From the magical breath remaining on the centipede, the cultivation base of the person behind the scenes should not surpass the Great Mage realm. In this case, as long as they stayed at home, with Ron and the gold-tier Ice Wand, the other party would not dare to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Norton instructed, “From now on, Little Arthur has to stay in the family. No one can take him away from the family until we find the mastermind. Also, if any of the family members wish to go out, he or she must not go out alone; there must be at least two or more to go out.”
After he had given the instructions, everyone left. Then Norton brought Avril and little Arthur to the ancestral hall. He knelt down and kowtowed hard several times to Romo. He gave thanks sincerely, “Thank you for the protection from our ancestors, which helped Arthur Nicholas, the 18th descendant of the Nicholas family clan, avert danger and survive!”
Avril, who was following behind Norton, was skeptical. When she saw that the family head had knelt down, she reluctantly followed suit. However, at this moment, a beam of golden light suddenly appeared from the ancestral tablet of the Old Ancestor and floated towards Arthur. Avril was shocked to find that this golden light was identical to the golden light which had shot out from Arthur’s body and killed the centipede earlier on. The golden light then entered Arthur’s body and disappeared.
“This… this… this…” Avril was instantly dumbfounded; she had never seen such a magical thing before.
“Why are you still stammering? This is our ancestral protection. Quick, kowtow to him,” Norton urged.
It was only then that Avril realized what was going on. She was completely convinced by the Old Ancestor, Romo, and she kowtowed to him sincerely.
The beam of golden light earlier was an Ancestral Protection Talisman, which Romo had just bought for little Arthur. Romo he did not want little Arthur to be harmed, so he had used it right away.
After Norton and the rest had left, Romo began to think about how he should deal with the enemy lurking in the dark. Should he wait for Norton and the rest to investigate and then help them eliminate the enemy, or should he spend his Faith Points to find the enemy?
Very soon, it was late at night. All was silent. Romo was thinking of a solution when a strange energy suddenly struck the Protective Formation. It directly triggered the alert function of the Protective Formation.
[Ding… System notification: Protective Formation is being attacked!]
The System prompt sounded in Romo’s mind.
[Ding… Protective Formation is currently attacking. The family clan’s luck is about to be plundered!]
[Ding… System has generated an urgent mission: Stop the family’s luck from being plundered and eliminate the enemy!] ”
“Damn, it’s another luck plundering again!” After hearing the System notifications, Romo was both shocked and indignant. “This damned fellow had wanted to plunder little Arthur’s luck previously. This time, he has actually targeted our entire family clan. It looks like the other party is not a single person, but a family clan. They do not want to develop themselves but only want to plunder from us.. Damn it, I definitely won’t let all of you off this time.”
