Chapter 203 - Return Together

Ron ignored them and flew directly through the air in the direction of Winterfrost.

In order not to attract attention, Dick had also put on a black cloak to cover his head and face. At this moment, many Magi had rushed over from elsewhere and entered the Black Forest to resist the beast tide.

However, this no longer had anything to do with Ron and Dick. The two of them flew all the way to Winterfrost and left in the nearest flying ferry without stopping.

Dick was worried about being discovered by the Black Forest faction, while Ron wanted to go home earlier to report.

Previously, in his dream, the Old Ancestor had told him that after the clansmen search mission had been completed, there was something else important for him to do.

Nothing more happened on the way back. A week later, Ron and Dick returned to Winterfrost.

The two of them walked to the family door. Ron said to Dick, “This is our family clan.”

Along the way, Dick had learned a lot of information about the Nicholas family from Ron. Looking at the door of the Nicholas family, he could not help but feel uneasy and also excited.

Clansmen had always been a relatively unfamiliar existence to him. His memories of his mother had already become blurry. Although the old man had treated him like family, that was all. After all, they were not true blood-related clansmen.

And now, he had suddenly learned that he actually had many clansmen of the same bloodline, and that from Ron’s description, the family was harmonious and full of family love. This made Dick look forward to it throughout the journey.

When the two servants guarding the door saw Ron, they were both overjoyed. One of them turned around and ran into the house, shouting as he ran, “Ron is back! Ron is back!”

When Ron and Dick entered the door, a large group of people greeted them.

Even Dick could not help being shocked by such a huge turnout. He subconsciously slowed down by half a step and walked behind Ron. “Brother Ron!!”

“Ron, you’re back so quickly! Have you found our clansmen? Is the one behind you the clansman you have found? Is there only one person?”

“Let’s go in and talk. Let them rest.”

“Yes, yes! Let’s go in first. Have some water and rest.” A group of people had surrounded the two of them and were all talking at once. Ron smiled and greeted everyone. Dick followed behind silently. He was secretly surprised and also a little happy.

It seemed that it was really as Ron had said. A moment later, in the Nicholas family, Ron told them about his encounter during this search trip for clansmen.

He also told them about the group of people who had attacked the Nicholas family member in the Black Wood Forest, and also briefly introduced Dick’s situation.

As Dick had been found by the Bloodline Sensing Talisman bestowed upon him by the Old Ancestor, there was no need to doubt his identity. The Nicholas family were all very happy with his return.

After chatting for a while, Norton said, “Alright, that’s all for today. You guys go and rest first. We’ll carry out the ritual for the clansman’s return later.”

Although only one clansman had returned, the ritual procedures had to be carried out.

Then, Ron led Dick to the room prepared for him to rest. Along the way, Ron introduced the clansmen they had met from time to time to Dick. Lily and the other children even surrounded Ron, pestering him and asking many questions.

When they bumped into Donna, who was pushing a pram over, Ron introduced, “This is Sister-in-Law Donna, and this is Anthony.”

When Dick saw the divine beast egg with Anthony in the pram, he could not help being stunned.

Divine Beast Egg?!

Seeing his surprise, Ron smiled and said, “Oh, I forgot to mention this to you…”

He pointed in the direction behind the ancestral hall and said, “Our Nicholas family also has a Guardian Spirit Beast, a level-6 divine beast. It is there, and it is currently in seclusion. Perhaps it will advance to level-7 soon. This divine beast egg is its offspring. It had given the egg to Anthony.”

Guardian Spirit Beast?! Level 6?! It is going to advance to level-7?!

Dick looked over in shock. As he moved, he finally saw the huge Five-Color Peacock on a large tree.

Although the other party was not moving and seemed to be asleep, just looking at it made Dick feel a powerful pressure.

The Nicholas family clan had shocked him more than Dick had imagined. They came to a small courtyard, and Ron said to Dick, “This is the place. Go back to the room and rest first. I’m next door. Call me if there’s anything.”

Dick looked out at the courtyard and nodded slightly. “Okay, thanks.”

Ron smiled and said, “We’re family from now on, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Dick went into the room and looked at the very clean and tidy bedroom. He felt a strange emotion.

He was not used to the enthusiasm of the Nicholas family, but at the same time, he felt very comfortable.

He lay down on the soft and comfortable bed and looked at the ceiling. In his daze, he seemed to see the familiar figure that was already a little blurry.

He remembered when he was young, he had asked his mother why he did not have a father and why he did not have other family members.

However, his mother only cried. After that, he dared not ask anymore. Later on, his mother died of illness, and he had no more family.

But now, it was as if he was dreaming. He actually had many more family members.

Could he really integrate into this family? Dick was worried, but also looking forward to it.

After half a day of rest, Dick showered and changed with the help of the servants, and then he was brought before the Nicholas family.

Everyone from the Nicholas family had gathered here. The head of the family, Norton, personally led Dick into the ancestral hall. After a ritual, he prayed to the ancestors for the Nicholas family.

Dick did not have any objections to this. He did everything strictly as he was told. However, he felt that everyone in the Nicholas family seemed to be very serious about ancestral worship.

When Dick had completed the worship rituals for his return, Romo, who was floating in the air on the highest altar, heard the System notifications.

[Ding! Mission accomplished.]

[A total of 1 lost clansman has been found in this mission.]

[Received rewards… Ding! Mission accomplished.]

[A total of 1 lost clansman has been found in this mission.]

[Received Reward: Luck+50, Special-Grade Experience Talisman x1, Dream Appearing Talisman x1, Faith Doubling Talisman x1, Talent Strengthening Talisman x1, Hundredfold Cultivation Speed Talisman x1, Sacred Tool (random)]

[First worship by the clansman who had returned. Received tenfold Faith Points. Received a total of 8,000 Faith Points for this worship. The Faith Doubling Talisman has been activated. Received an additional 8,000 Faith Points.]

Sure enough, the mission reward for finding only one clansman was much less than the previous one for nine clansmen. However, it was not too bad, and the last item was a pleasant surprise.

A random Sacred Tool, and there was no restriction on the grade of the tool! In other words, it was possible to obtain a low-grade Sacred Tool or a top-grade one. Romo was pleasantly surprised and he immediately used this tool.
