Chapter 130: Ancestral Protection Talisman
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zoro and the others looked at the scene in front of them, and they were also in a state of extreme shock. They also watched helplessly as the glowing sword flew out for a few minutes and then flew back by itself.
The glowing sword stopped in front of Lily. The light gradually faded and the sword returned to its original form.
Lily still looked shocked. Her hand instinctively caught the sword. She looked back at Zoro and the others. They still looked shocked.
Suddenly, Zoro saw the phantom and the old man with the long beard. Zoro suddenly understood and shouted excitedly, “The Old Ancestor has manifested himself.”
At this moment, Kathleen and Charles finally reacted. The person before them was identical to the portrait of the Old Ancestor in the ancestral hall.
Therefore, it was Romo who had saved everyone from the danger earlier. In other words, Romo had used the Ancestral Protection Talisman and manifested as a phantom.
Earlier, Romo, who was in Nicholas family’s ancestral hall, had suddenly heard the System notification for him. He quickly used a Visitation Talisman on Zoro and the others.
As Romo had expected, Zoro and the others were in danger and their lives were on the line.
At the urgent moment, Romo quickly used an Ancestral Protection Talisman, and the target was not Zoro or Charles, but Kathleen.
This tool was very magical. It could allow an ancestor to manifest as a phantom, which was the projection of Romo’s spirit body. Furthermore, it could be completely controlled by Romo’s consciousness, and had the same strength as Romo.
The only flaw was there was a time limit. Romo had been worried that there would not be sufficient time, so he quickly dealt with those bandits. This way, he could ensure the safety of the few of them.
Immediately after, Romo waved his right hand, and a warm wind blew. The red fog that kept emitting from the bodies of the few of them instantly dissipated in the air.
‘The moment the red fog dissipated, everyone’s energy was fully restored. They did not feel any discomfort.
The three of them stood up and expressed their gratitude to the Old Ancestor, but there were still many looks of disbelief in their eyes.
Although they had heard Norton and Ron mention about being visited by their Old Ancestor in their dreams and they had also been paying respects to him daily, they had never thought that they could see the Old Ancestor in person and that he would even save them.
Now, not only was the crisis gone, they had also seen their Old Ancestor. The three of them were so excited that they were speechless.
“Go further ahead. There’s a cave. I’ll need all of you to investigate it later.” Romo realized that he did not have much time left, so he quickly assigned the mission.
“Yes! Old Ancestor! I promise to complete the mission!” Hearing that the Old Ancestor had given him a mission, Zoro quickly accepted it.
“The few of you have completed the mission well this time. It is commendable,” Romo said after looking at them.
The few of them, who were led by Zoro, not only saw their Old Ancestor this time, they also received his praise. They became even more excited.
After he had finished assigning the mission, Romo looked at Lily, who had been looking at him but still did not understand. A benevolent smile immediately appeared on his face. “Lily, you’re really brave. Don’t be afraid in the future. I’m the Old Ancestor of the Nicholas family clan. No one can bully you in
the future with me around.”
Hearing this, Lily did not know what to say, but she felt warm inside. In the past two years, no one had said such a thing to her except her grandfather.
Lily was about to say something when she realized that the old grandpa’s phantom was becoming fainter and fainter until it completely disappeared. It was as if this person had never appeared in the air.
Closing her eyes, she could still recall the gentle voice of the Old Ancestor and the warmth in her heart.
“Sister, what happened just now?” Lily turned to look at Kathleen. “And Sister, are you alright?”
Kathleen suddenly regained her senses. She quickly looked at Zoro and Charles to verify what had just happened was real. From Zoro and Charles’ excited expressions, Kathleen knew that it had definitely not been a dream.
“Tm fine. Sister has completely recovered. It was our Old Ancestor who appeared just now.” Kathleen hugged Lily and checked to see if she had any injuries.
‘When she found out that Lily had not been injured at all, Kathleen said proudly, “Look, I did not lie to you, right? The Old Ancestor is very powerful, and he will really protect our family.”
“Was the grandpa just now really our Old Ancestor? Then why has he disappeared?” Lily asked, her eyes wide open.
“Sister doesn’t know this either. Lily might find out in the future,” Kathleen replied.
Zoro looked at the place where Romo had pointed just now and suddenly thought of something. The back and forth reaction of that sword seemed to have confirmed Zoro’s speculation.
Everything had probably originated from that cave.
“Let’s go take a look at that cave. We might be able to find many secrets there.” Zoro looked at the cave and said, “I suspect everything that happened just now had been caused by the cave. Let’s pack up and set off.”
Then, the few of them started to set off in that direction.
Lily climbed onto Kathleen’s back, and lay there quietly, recalling everything that had just happened. Everything had happened so quickly that no one had time to react.
The bad guys who had killed her parents were already dead, Sister had almost been injured, and the Old Ancestor was actually so powerful, and her little wooden sword could even fly by itself.
As she thought about all this, Lily touched her little wooden sword, her eyes beaming.
“They really did not lie to me. My ancestor is actually so powerful. I must work hard and become someone who can protect everyone.” Lily held the little wooden sword tightly in her hand and swore in her heart.
[Mission Completed]
[Received Rewards: Advanced Experience Talismans x30, Incense Doubling Talisman x1, 100 Cultivation Speed Talisman x1, Ancestral Protection Talisman x1, Aptitude Strengthening Talisman x1]
In Nicholas family’s ancestral hall, Romo heard the System notifications.
“The gains this time had really not been small. Although I have lost an Ancestral Protection Talisman, I have not only protected Zoro and the others but also received so many rewards.”
Romo was secretly delighted.
As he spoke, he used all the Advanced Experience Talismans.
[Command Confirmation: Advanced Experience Talismans x30 successfully used.]
(The host’s level has increased to level-5 of the Yin Spirit Realm]
Although he had advanced another level, the further he advanced, the more difficult it became to advance. In the future, he would definitely need more Experience Talismans.
Then, Romo also used the Incense Doubling Talisman. He did not need the rest of the tools for the time being. Romo put all of them into the inventory and opened the Visitation Talisman to continue to observe the progress of Zoro and the others..
