393 Traveling in Different Teams, Blood Calamity
In the study room of the current head of the Nicholas family.
Zoro was a little puzzled. He asked the valiant woman standing in front, “Lily, why do you suddenly want to go on a trip?”
Lily pretended to sigh deeply and explained, “The Magic Stone Mine is operating normally now. I don’t have much use here. I’m about to break through and become a level-8 Great Archmage, so I want to use this training trip to help me break through.”
“You’re quite fast at breaking through.” Zoro was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and replied, “Alright, go ahead. Be careful when you’re outside.”
Lily’s current strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, and it was not her first trip, so there was no need to be too worried.
As they were talking, footsteps could suddenly be heard outside. As they got closer, there was a knock on the door.
The family head was a little surprised. He said, “Come in if there’s any matter.”
Then, two people came in.
Anthony and Formick came in and told Zoro the purpose of their visit. Zoro looked at them in shock.
“The two of you… also want to go on a trip?”
These two twelve-year-old Great Archmagi had actually come to also get approval to go on a trip!
Anthony said, “Yes, it’s time. I should go on a trip too.”
Formick: “Yes, Senior Scheer said that something requires training outside before it can be learned. It can’t be learned in school or at home.”
Upon hearing this, Lily giggled. “Alright, alright! Let’s go out on a training trip together, shall we?”
Anthony tilted his head and looked at her. “Aunt, Formick is heading in a different direction from us. He wants to travel elsewhere with Senior Scheer.”
“Huh?” Lily pursed her lips. “Why?”
Anthony smiled. “I can’t… I can’t explain it clearly.”
Lily blinked and snorted. “Is this some kind of premonition?”
Anthony smiled faintly and nodded.
Seeing him reveal a look that said, “I can’t tell you or explain it clearly,” Lily stretched out her hands and rubbed Anthony’s little face crazily. She smiled and teased, “Anthony, you look like a charlatan!”
Anthony’s face was being distorted under Lily’s hands. He struggled.
“Aunt… Let go of me… Don’t be like this…”
Lily rubbed it for a long while before she let go. She snorted and said, “Who asked you to keep me in suspense!”
Anthony covered his face with both hands. His face was burning, and he looked extremely aggrieved.
Seeing this scene, Zoro laughed and said, “Alright, stop playing… Since Anthony thinks it’s fine, then go.”
“Again, be careful when you’re out.”
“Yes!” The three children nodded heavily.
The children of the Nicholas family all had their own thoughts and would not be unreasonable, especially Anthony. His situation was special, and the adults in the family basically did not treat him as a child. Many times, they would ask for his opinion.
Moreover, going on a trip was not that dangerous. When clansmen wanted to go on a trip, Zoro would usually agree.
There was basically no need to ask Norton or even the Old Ancestor for permission to go on a trip.
If there was really anything inappropriate, the Old Ancestor would give instructions.
… .
Three days later, Lily and the others left the Holy Light City and traveled in separate ways.
Formick, accompanied by Scheer, flew south.
As for Anthony and Lily, they were heading north. Along with them, apart from the seven-color young peacock, there was also Karuman, who had just advanced to the Divine Mage realm. He was mainly in charge of escorting them.
The team members, such as Karuman accompanying, and the direction the teams took, had all been guided by Anthony’s Small Prediction Technique.
Although he could not calculate the details, he could still vaguely sense the general direction, for example, which direction was best for a certain person to go and who should accompany him…
Although Karuman had just advanced to the Divine Mage realm, his realm had stabilized, so he had no other concerns about this escort mission.
After all, he had escorted Ron to the trial more than ten years ago.
The few of them traveled simply and did not attract much attention. Of course, even if someone had sensed it, no one dared to do anything.
The Nicholas family was now famous. Although more than two months had passed since the chaotic battle at the Calamity Mountain Range, that terrifying and powerful strength had still shocked countless people. Their sense of reverence had not decreased.
In the past two months, the two factions that had been discussed fervently did not seem to have done anything special.
Everyone was spreading the news that the Gale Wind Island was taking revenge, but it had not happened. The Gale Wind Island was still sealed off…
Could it be that the Gale Wind Island was afraid of the Nicholas family attacking the island?
In fact, after destroying more than a hundred people from the Gale Wind Island, the Nicholas family had also thought that they might as well destroy the entire Gale Wind Island. In any case, they had already formed a blood feud, and it was basically impossible for them to reconcile. Leaving the Gale Wind Island alive would eventually cause endless trouble.
However, the Gale Wind Island was different from the Beast Sect. After all, it was one of the four large factions in the Sebastian Kingdom and was related to the various large factions in the country. Even the royal family was among them.
If they really attacked the Gale Wind Island, there would probably be endless trouble in the future.
Of course, if they really wanted to destroy Gale Wind Island, the Nicholas family was naturally able to do so with their powerful strength.
However, Anthony had used the Small Prediction Technique to sense. It was not appropriate to attack Gale Wind Island for the time being. They needed an opportunity.
… …
Sikang City was a small city built by ordinary people in an area slightly north of the central region of the Sebastian Kingdom.
The magical energy in this area was scarce, and Magi basically would not come here. In the entire city, the number of low-level Magi was less than five.
After Lily, Anthony, and Karuman had flown out of the Holy Light City, they basically did not fly into the sky. They only walked casually on land or stopped… Today, they arrived here.
After entering the city, the three of them walked casually along a long lively street in Sikang City. There were people walking to and fro, and the scene looked ordinary.
Lily was bored and turned to look at the person beside her.
“Anthony, have you really not chosen the wrong direction? This direction… I keep feeling we’re getting more and more off track.”
Due to Anthony’s special senses, although they had been walking casually north, Anthony had chosen the path at every fork in the road.
Anthony did not comment and said good-naturedly, “Then, Aunt may choose the next path.”
“Alright!” Lily was happy. “Then I’ll throw a branch too!”
Throwing a branch was Anthony’s method of choosing a path in their trip north.
The name was very casual, and the process was also very casual. There was no need for divination. They casually picked up a tree branch and then casually threw it. The path the thin branch pointed to was the path they were going to take next… It was really casual. Could this be the simplicity of the great Dao?
Lily tilted her head. She could not understand. Perhaps she did not have the characteristics of a charlatan.
“Please hold on!”
Suddenly, an old voice sounded from the side, causing Lily and the other two to stop in their tracks.
They turned around and saw a table and some chairs at the corner of the street, as well as a white cloth with the word “divination” on it and an old man with a goatee.
Oh… so he was a fortune-teller.
Lily and Anthony exchanged a look, both finding it strange.
Lily suppressed her laughter and asked the old man standing behind the wooden table, “Are you calling us?”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. “Yes.”
Anthony smiled faintly. “What is it?”
The old man said meaningfully, “Do you want to hear me out? It might change your life.”
Lily rubbed her chin as if she was interested. “Go on.”
The old man looked at Anthony and sighed softly. “Your glabella is a little dark. There might be a blood calamity soon!!”
“Pfft!!” Lily could not help but cover her mouth and laugh delightfully. “Anthony, you’ll have a blood calamity! What should we do?”
