Chapter 196
Chapter 196 Bloodline Sensing Talisman
Just as Ron finished speaking, he saw that the expression of the man opposite him had become very conflicted. With just Ron’s clues, it was really difficult to find the target person.
No wonder Ron had not been able to find the person after searching for an entire afternoon. Now, he had to resort to paying someone to find the person.
“There are ten spirit stones in here. If you can help me find the person, I’ll give them to you later.” Ron placed the spirit stones on the table.
The man, who had been conflicted, became excited when he saw the spirit stones. He quickly placed all the spirit stones into his bag, afraid that Ron would go back on his word in the next second. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll definitely help you find him. I’ll let you know as soon as I find him. My name is Colin. Tell me if you need anything.”
“Alright, do it faster. There will be more spirit stones the faster you are.” Ron nodded and left.
The man named Colin quickly checked the spirit stones in his bag. His eyes were spinning, and no one knew what he was thinking
Suddenly, there was a loud crack. Colin quickly looked behind and saw that the table where the two of them had been sitting had suddenly shattered into two. Before the fragments could even hit the ground, they had turned into powder form and were scattered by the wind.
Colin was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this should have been done by the person who had given him the spirit stones to do his job. However, how had he done this?
All of a sudden, Colin understood. This was a warning to him. He had wanted to use this money to drink and make merry to his heart’s content, and then just deliver a slipshod job. Now, it seemed that this method would not work. He had no choice but to deliver the work he had been paid for.
Ron stayed in the Walls Village for the time being.
Despite having hired Colin, Ron continued to look for leads on the descendants of the Nicholas family every day. The person called Colin had also found some subordinates to search for leads. He had made great efforts.
At the same time, Romo, who was in the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family, had also been paying attention to Ron’s situation all the time. Now that he saw that Ron was stuck at the bottleneck of finding people and had not made any progress, Romo was a little anxious. He had already thought of buying some tools from the shop to help Ron if he still did not make any progress.
In the past few days, nothing abnormal had happened in Winterfrost. The Nicholas family members were training as usual. Although the days were peaceful, they were also very fulfilling
In this manner, another seven days had passed. It had been fifteen days since Ron left the house. The time set by the Old Ancestor was already halfway up, but there had been no progress at all now. Ron became more and more anxious.
Day after day passed, and the hope of finding the clansmen became more and more remote. Over the past few days, whether it was Ron or Colin, they had been searching for leads and asked almost everyone they could find or ask, but there was still no news.
Even Colin and his men had planned to give up. After all, everyone they could ask had been asked, and there were still no clues. Sometimes, Colin would think that it might be better not to earn this money.
Ron had no choice but to continue to increase Colin’s remuneration, so Colin kept helping Ron search.
During this period, he had also found a few people with the surname of Nicholas, but when he interrogated them carefully, they were not the ones Ron was looking for.
That night, Ron was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly entered a familiar dream world. In this world, Ron saw the Old Ancestor of the Nicholas family.
“Old Ancestor!” said Ron excitedly.
“It has been hard on you these few days in your search for the clansmen,” replied the Old Ancestor.
“I’m sorry, Old Ancestor. I have let you down. It has been so many days, but there are still no leads,” said Ron guiltily. “It’s okay, Old Ancestor has seen your performance. Don’t worry, if there’s really no other way, I’ll help you,” Romo quickly consoled.
After the dream visit had ended, Romo quickly summoned the System Shop and bought a tool called the Bloodline Sensing Talisman.
(Bloodline Sensory Talisman: A descendant can be blessed. This descendant will be able to sense the members of the same clan within a range of 100 meters. Effective duration is three days]
This tool actually cost 20,000 Faith Points.
As its time duration was too short, and the range was relatively limited, it was impossible to use it on a daily basis in the search for clansmen. The previous two searches for clansmen had also been exceptionally smooth, so it had not been used.
But Ron was clueless this time so he had to use it.
At this moment, Ron, who was in Walls Village, woke up from his sleep. He sensed something unusual in his mind, something he had not felt before. It was as if there was a compass in his head, guiding him in the right direction.
“Could this be the bloodline sensing the Old Ancestor had mentioned?” Ron muttered to himself.
Then he quickly mobilized the energy in his body to sense it, but after a while, Ron opened his eyes in disappointment. “What’s going on? There’s none?”
Ron sensed again in disbelief, but the result was the same.
He was currently in the Walls Village. If the clansman was really a villager, he should have sensed it. Could he really have been an outsider who just happened to be here a few days ago?
Ron thought. However, if he were really an outsider, the probability of finding him was not high even with the Bloodline Sensing Talisman.
“Didn’t sense anyone? What’s going on? This matter is going to be difficult.” Romo had seen Ron’s expression through the Visitation Talisman and had guessed that Ron had not sensed anyone. This meant that there were no clansmen of the Nicholas family clan nearby.
This was already his last hope. If the Bloodline Sensing Talisman could not even be of use, then this mission could only end in failure.
Even so, Ron still did not give up. Now that he had the Bloodline Sensing Talisman, he did not need to ask each household one by one. Instead, he started to comb the area with the Walls Village as the center.
He could not sense anything even when he had returned to Hardy County.
Another day had passed. After breakfast, Ron wondered where he should go to search today, when Colin suddenly brought him good news.
“Young Master, I’ve found someone. He basically matches the clues you mentioned,” Colin said excitedly.
“Quick, let me see him,” said Ron, his spirits soaring
“This person’s name is Balu Nicholas. Young Master, during the period you mentioned previously, he happened to just come to the Walls Village, and his hometown seems to be the place you mentioned,” Colin explained.
“Where is he now?” said Ron quickly.
“He has joined a Demon Beast Crusade Team. I have already found out where he is,” Colin said.
