Upon hearing these words, the two of them seemed to have been scared silly and could not react at all, especially after they had seen Norton’s magical technique.

After a few minutes of silence, Aaron was the first to react. “Mage? Are you a Mage?”

“Tm someone who cultivates magical power but there’s still a long way to go before I can become a real Mage.” Zoro could only explain it as such.

But Lily did not care about their answer at all. She was still very excited. “You said earlier that we are from the same family. Then, was our ancestor a human?”

It seemed like a very simple question, but when asked by a child, it seemed exceptionally innocent.

“Of course, our ancestor was certainly a human,” Zoro explained patiently.

“Then, was our ancestor a top Mage?” Lily became more and more excited.

“Yes, our ancestor was a Mage of the Divine Power Realm. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was indeed a top Mage.” Facing such a child, Zoro had no choice but to answer these seemingly simple questions in a serious manner.

Lily became even more excited. She wanted to open her mouth to ask something else, but was stopped by Aaron. He asked Lily not to speak anymore.

In the end, Aaron still followed Norton’s arrangements. They split up into two teams and went their separate ways. Norton gave instructions on some related details and things to take note of. The two teams then separated in the Lolan Town.

On the way back to their hometown, the few of them found a few horses. Lily and Kathleen rode one horse; the little girl sat in front, leaning against Kathleen’s arms. She kept taking food out of her pocket and eating from time to time. She also looked at the surrounding scenery from time to time. She

was very relaxed.

Despite the fact that everyone had eaten a meal in the best local restaurant before they left, which was the best meal Lily had eaten since she could remember, she kept asking questions about this and that at the meal time, and her big curious eyes kept blinking, just one full meal was nothing to Lily. As

she was leaving, she ran into the few little boys who had fought with her earlier.

At this moment, Lily was sitting on her horse, looking very impressive. The few little boys instantly looked dumbfounded, making Lily beamed with pride.

After a short journey, they encountered a fork in the road. “Which side should we take?”

Lily’s mouth was stuffed with delicious food. She answered unintelligibly, “Let’s go left.”

The few of them continued to walk according to Lily’s instructions. The further they went up the mountain, the more difficult the path became. It became increasingly rugged and steep. Even the horse had difficulty walking.

“Eat slowly, don’t choke. There is still a lot of good food in the next few days. Save some space in your stomach.” Looking at the little foodie in front of her, Kathleen thought she was really cute.

“alright!” Lily also felt very embarrassed. “Sister, can we really eat so much good food every day?” Lily blinked her large eyes and revealed an expectant expression.

“Of course.” Looking at Lily’s expression and her desire for food, she could not help but feel sorry for her, so she hugged her tightly.

She did not expect to live a life of luxury every day without having to suffer any hardship, and that such a normal life to her would be unattainable to others.

She could not imagine how much hardship Lily had suffered all these years, and how much pain she had gone through since the day she lost her parents. Fortunately, she had not been overwhelmed by these difficulties and continued to face life optimistically.

“Sister, can I become a powerful Mage in the future?” Lily continued to ask.

“Of course. Lily is so smart. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will definitely become the most powerful Mage in the world.” Kathleen chatted with Lily as she rode.

“In that case, I have to work hard. I must become the most powerful Mage.” Lily swallowed the food in her mouth and said determinedly.

“Why do you want so much to become a Mage?”

“This is certainly because if I become the most powerful Mage, everyone will be afraid of me. This way, no one will bully Grandpa and me. And, I will be able to fight those bandits one on one, and take revenge for my parents.”

Lily’s gaze was so determined that it made Kathleen’s heart ache a little more. “Don’t worry, your parents will be very happy to see you like this. The Old Ancestor of our family clan will also bless you from heaven.”

“Old Ancestor? Who is the Old Ancestor? Is he very powerful?” Lily asked curiously.

“Of course, our Old Ancestor is very powerful. We were able to find you because of his instructions,” Kathleen said as she caressed Lily’s hair.

“Really? How did he instruct? Sister, please tell me.” Hearing this, Lily became even more curious.

“This… It’s a long story. I’ll tell you slowly when we get home, okay?” Kathleen did not know how to explain this matter simply, so she decided not to explain.

“Is our Old Ancestor really that powerful?” Lily asked again.

“Of course!” Kathleen’s voice was full of pride.

Lily suddenly lowered her head and said, “Why didn’t the Old Ancestor bless me earlier?”

Knowing that Lily was thinking of her parents again, Kathleen pulled Lily into her arms. “Don’t worry, we won’t let you get bullied again.”

Charles had been listening to their conversation. He, who had never liked to talk, spoke for the first time. “We can try to find traces of the bandits.”

Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed a strong murderous intent. Although Zoro, who was by the side, also did not say anything, there was also a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

In the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family, Romo was watching them through the Visitation Talisman and listening to their conversation. He could not help but sigh.

Romo had seen Norton’s actions and was very satisfied with their speed, and the fact that they had found two descendants of the Nicholas family.

He was also very pleased with Norton’s decision to split up into two teams.

Regarding what had happened to Lily, Romo could only hate himself for not being able to find them sooner. Now, the only thing he could do was to wait for them to bring Lily back, and then teach her magical power.

As for those bandits, Romo had already sentenced them to death. There were names added to Romo’s “ledger book”. This meant that whether Zoro and the others could find the bandits or not, the deaths of these bandits were imminent.

After having learned Norton’s situation, Romo quickly switched to another Visitation Talisman to check on Ron.

Currently, Ron was still searching for treasures in the Upperspace Wind Valley, but an unfamiliar face was beside him..
