Chapter 38 - Nicholas

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Give my son back to me!” a middle-aged man was shouting outside.

“Nicholas! How dare you cause trouble in Spano Academy?!” Hilter appeared in mid-air and questioned the middle-aged man sternly.

The middle-aged man named Nicholas was obviously more rational when he saw Hilter appear.

“I want to know why you have my son?” Nicholas did not give Hilter a good look either.

“How do you know we have him?” Hilter asked back.

“How do I know has nothing to do with you! Release him immediately or else don’t blame me for tearing down your lousy school!” Nicholas threatened.

“If you want to know, come with me!”

Hilter understood Nicholas’ character and knew that he could not be a spy from the Church of Darkness. He sighed and decided to bring him to the dungeon.

After arriving in the dungeon, Nicholas saw Carter in the lich state and panicked for a moment.

“What, what’s going on? Is this my son?” Nicholas asked in disbelief.

“If you don’t trust me, why don’t you trust that person?” Hilter pointed at Wei Nuo, who was sitting in a corner, thinking about something.

“Mr. Wei Nuo, you’re still alive!?” Nicholas saw Wei Nuo.

“You want a beating?” Wei Nuo asked with a smile.

“No, but what’s going on, Mr. Wei Nuo?”

“Your son’s body has been occupied by a lich. You shouldn’t ask me, but yourself. A cultivator of light combat aura actually didn’t even notice that a lich was by his side,” Wei Nuo said snappily.

Nicholas lowered his head in embarrassment.

“I’m really miserable. A son was killed in the Magical Beast Forest and a son became a lich. Sigh!” Nicholas let out a long sigh and began to talk about his own experiences.

Hearing this, Li Wei could not help but retreat. This was most likely the father of the little genius that he had killed when he was training in the Magical Beast Forest.

“Enough, stop sighing. It might not even be your son. It’s not like you don’t know about your wife’s stupid matters,” Hilter said unhappily.

“After all, I’ve raised him, surely, I couldn’t let go of this,” Nicholas said.

Hilter knew his friend’s character, so he did not say anything more.

“Help us interrogate him together. It’s also good to give your son a quick death,” Wei Nuo said expressionlessly.

From the beginning of the arrest, Wei Nuo had been in this state.

Nicholas did not expect that he would come to interrogate him.

“Son, tell them what you know. Why suffer like this?” Nicholas tried to persuade Carter.

“Bah! Who’s your son?” The lich directly spat on Nicholas’ face.

“You b*stard, how dare you spit on your father!” Nicholas wanted to hit this unfilial son. However, he was stopped by Hilter.

“You’d better not cause any more trouble. Follow me!” Hilter led Nicholas out.

“Who exactly told you to come here?” Hilt asked Nicholas with a serious expression.

“His mother.”

Nicholas knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did not hide it like before and began to tell the truth.

“Are you still in contact with that woman? Are you going to continue being cuckolded?” Hilter asked with some disappointment.

“No contact. It’s just that someone suddenly sent me a letter,” Nicholas said embarrassingly.

“Forget it. Get lost quickly. I’ll update you when there’s news. When you go back, check on your wife,” Hilter instructed. He felt that the woman who betrayed Nicholas should be a member of the Church of Darkness.

“Yes, I got it.”

After saying that, Nicholas mustered his fighting spirit and flew into the distance.

Hilter returned to the dungeon. Wei Nuo was as cold as an ice mountain.

Li Wei was releasing Holy Flames at the side.

“Uncle, who is that person?” Li Wei asked carefully. After all, he might be his enemy.

“The former patriarch of the Nicholas family. But because of a woman, he was chased out of the family by a few old stubborn elders. He’s now a minor noble in Cassano Province,” Hilter briefly explained.

“What kind of family is the Nicholas family?” Li Wei asked again.

“Owen only taught you how to fight. Your cultural knowledge is a little lacking. I’ll give you a make-up lesson in a few days,” Hilter first ridiculed Owen, then cleared his throat and said.

“The Nicholas family is one of the four great families of the Holy See. The first patriarch established a religion with the first pope. Legend has it that he received the blessing of the god of light.

“After that, each of their patriarchs would basically become the presiding judge of the Holy See’s judgment. Of course, sometimes, it wouldn’t be them.

“For example, the author of your cultivation technique, the Holy Knight of Judgment, is an exception. That’s a true existence that has been dominating for a hundred years. During those hundred years, no matter what race it is, they’ll not be able to match up to him.

“Of course, that’s only because the Holy Knight of Judgment is too strong, and not because the Nicholas family is weak.

“They control the strongest violent organization in the Holy See and they are also the bloodiest group of people in the Holy See. It can be said that no family in the region can match up to them,” Hilter explained to Li Wei.

Hearing this, Li Wei nodded. As for the name and the family name, he knew that many family heads would share the same name with their ancestors in order to remember the martyrs.

“Looks like they won’t say anything. Kill them.”

Wei Nuo, who had been sitting for a long time with a cold expression, returned to normal at this time.

“Okay, Grandpa Wei Nuo.”

After saying that, Li Wei increased the output of his battle spirit from the Holy Flame. Then, he burned all twenty-six liches into a wisp of green smoke.

“Alright, let’s go.”

After saying that, Wei Nuo got up and walked out. Hilter also followed him out. As soon as they walked out, a man wearing a mask came.

“Director, Sir, we found the bodies of the castellan’s family,” the man bowed to Hilter and said.

“Are they all dead? It shouldn’t be!” Hilter was puzzled.

“Are you sure it’s the people of the castellan’s mansion? Everyone?” Hilter asked in a more serious tone.

“Yes. We compared them one by one. Except for the eldest son who went to Cassano Academy, the others are all there,” the person replied again.

“Alright, you can go now.” Hilter waved his hand to let that person go.

Hilter now felt that he seemed to have walked into a dead end. He could not find any traces of the Church of Darkness.

“Take it slow. Now that they have gotten what they want, they’ll definitely go into hibernation for a while. After a period, they’ll appear on their own.” At this time, the experienced Wei Nuo opened his mouth.

“Now, you go and train with Li Wei..”
