391 The Nicholas Family, How Ruthless
The Nicholas family had discovered a large mine. This matter had already caused a sensation throughout the country.
At this moment, everyone knew why the Nicholas family had been sending people to the Calamity Mountain Range in the past few months. It turned out that they were searching for the huge Magic Stone Mine.
This first piece of news was naturally shocking, but the second piece of news was even more shocking!
Nearly 80% of the core combat strength of the Gale Wind Island had gone to the Calamity Mountain Range to snatch the Magic Stone Mine from the Nicholas family, but they had all been killed!!
Everyone knew that the Nicholas family had once destroyed the Beast Sect. The Nicholas family, which had kept a low profile for ten years, was still extremely powerful.
However, the Beast Sect was not a faction of the Sebastian Kingdom after all. Many people in the Sebastian Kingdom had basically only heard of its name and did not know much about the strength of the Beast Sect. Or rather, they could not sense the strength of the Beast Sect directly.
But the Gale Wind Island was one of the four large factions that had existed in the Sebastian Kingdom for more than ten thousand years. It was publicly recognized as a top powerful faction in the magical world of the entire Sebastian Kingdom.
Such a powerful Gale Wind Island had actually been defeated by the Nicholas family?!
The people of the Sebastian Kingdom knew that the Nicholas family clan was extremely powerful. Recently, they had produced four Divine Magi, and they were in the limelight.
But now, to be able to defeat the Gale Wind Island, which everyone recognized as extremely powerful, the Nicholas family clan was really too mighty!
A rising family clan was actually able to fight head-on with one of the four large factions of the Sebastian Kingdom and even kill 80% of the core combat strength of Gale Wind Island on the spot. How powerful was the Nicholas family?!
In the Sebastian Kingdom, everyone knew the strength of the four large factions.
Therefore, when they first heard the news, even though it had come from the current head of the Nicholas family, Zoro, many people were still skeptical.
It was not until someone had received some news from Gale Wind Island that they confirmed this matter was true…
The six Divine Magi of the Gale Wind Island, including the Island Master, and nearly a hundred Great Archmagi had really all died in the Calamity Mountain Range!!
After confirming that the news was true, those who had heard the news were stunned for a moment. When they regained their senses, they let out countless emotions in extreme shock.
“The Gale Wind Island… is really tragic!”
“The Nicholas family… is really ruthless!!”
“However, there were more than a hundred people from Gale Wind Island… How did they die?!”
“When the Nicholas family went in, it was a large group of people, and when they came out, it appeared that they had no casualties?!”
“What was the situation in the battle of the Calamity Mountain Range?”
“Wang San! You went over that day. Tell us about it!”
“I’m also confused…”
Some of their doubts had been resolved, but everyone was even more puzzled. They could not figure out what had happened in the battle that day or why both sides had participated in the battle but one party had been completely killed, while the other party had almost no casualties…
Those who were itching for an answer found the people who had watched 500 kilometers away from the battlefield that day, wanting to obtain an answer.
However, the onlookers could not say anything. After all, they only knew a little about the blurry commotion on the battlefield and could not explain it clearly.
However, the onlookers all said, “At that time, a Heavenly Divine Realm aura had appeared.”
Upon hearing this, many people rolled their eyes. What were they dreaming about in broad daylight… The Nicholas family and the Gale Wind Island did not even have a Heavenly Divine Mage!
As everyone discussed fervently, the battle became more and more confusing.
Someone had looked for the clansmen and retainers of the Nicholas family, but they had not received any definite news.
Apart from the battle itself, the aftermath of the battle had also attracted the attention of countless people.
The Nicholas family had defeated the Gale Wind Island and killed all those who came to snatch the mine… After that, no one dared to come to snatch it.
Of course, just because the ownership of the mine had been decided did not mean that this matter was over. After all, the Gale Wind Island, which had lost 80% of its core combat strength, was still around.
After so many people had been killed, the Gale Wind Island did not take revenge on the Nicholas family immediately. Instead… they sealed the island.
Some of those who knew about the Gale Wind Island’s action mocked them as cowards, while others expressed their understanding. After all, there were not many strong members left. It was better to develop wretchedly.
Some people also felt that the Gale Wind Island might be holding back their ultimate move.
There were many rumors about Gale Wind Island. Some said that the top Divine Mage ancestor was preparing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm and take revenge after he had advanced to the Heavenly Divine Realm. Some said that Gale Wind Island was secretly looking for an alliance with the other three factions to seek justice. Some said Gale Wind Island was preparing to take revenge in secret…
All kinds of news that seemed to be true and false appeared one after another. Many people were paying attention to the subsequent developments.
This was not the first or second case. The people in the Holy Light City were all a little numb. None of the factions who had gone against the Nicholas family in the past had a good outcome.
It was not known if the Gale Wind Island would follow in their footsteps this time.
As for the other faction that everyone was fervently discussing, the Nicholas family kept a low profile.
Seeing that they were as calm as they had been before the battle, the people who had been secretly paying attention to the family were speechless. “Alright, the Nicholas family are really true to themselves. They keep a low profile and are as calm as usual.”
After the battle, the Nicholas family had recently announced the ownership of the Magic Stone Mine and then, they continued to recruit people outside.
A large number of people were transported by the flying ferry to the Magic Stone Mine area of the Calamity Mountain Range to mine the Magic Stones.
It was extremely difficult to consider the security when mining the Magic Stone Mine deep underground. However, the Nicholas family had many Great Archmagi, so security was not a problem.
The head of the family, Zoro, led a few people back to the family palace. Most of the people, including Norton, stayed in the Magic Stone Mine to prevent any accidents.
This was not the first time the Nicholas family had not worried about the safety of the family clan in the aftermath. Outsiders had long been used to it. Although there had always been rumors that the Gale Wind Island would secretly attack the Nicholas family, there had been no concrete movements.
It had been two months after they started mining the Magic Stone Mine, all the mining procedures were carried out in an orderly and stable manner.
Half a month ago, Karuman had returned to the family palace and gone into seclusion to break through the great bottleneck of the Great Archmage realm!
In order to help him break through the bottleneck, Romo had also used a Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman on him.
Among the retainers, Karuman was most taken care of by the Nicholas family. This person had a bad reputation in the past, but after he had submitted to the Nicholas family, he was considered loyal to the Nicholas family. He had played a great role in the early rise of the family.
After the Nicholas family clan had arrived in the Holy Light City, they had recruited many retainers, and he had been of lesser use… After ten years of cultivation, he was already a top Great Archmage.
And now, Karuman wanted to be the first Divine Mage retainer of the Nicholas family!
This night, a surging aura came from his room. From the aura, he could sense that whether he could successfully break through depended on this moment.
Karuman’s aura was a little chaotic, and he frowned deeply. Clearly, the breakthrough process had not been smooth.
After all, he had been stuck for so many years. Even with the help of the Hundredfold Speed Talisman and the pills refined by Ron, it was still very difficult to advance to the Divine Mage realm.
In the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family.
Seeing that Karuman was stuck in his breakthrough, Romo brought out the System interface and clicked on the System tool that he had saved for a long time, and used it.
[Realm Breakthrough Protection Talisman… successfully used.]
[Realm Breakthrough Protection Talisman. When used by a Great Archmage, the probability of a breakthrough is increased by 30%.]
