Chapter 244 - Soft Fragrance
Chapter 244: Soft Fragrance
The news had reached Winterfrost, the Campbell palace.
In a study, Colin Campbell stood there in a daze for a long time before he regained his senses.
He had not expected this! He had waited anxiously in Winterfrost for a long time… and in the end, he had received such big news!
Although he had learned from his old friend that the current Nicholas family clan was no longer the same as before, he was still very uneasy. After all, those were the four large family clans of the Holy Light City! They had even been related to the royal family!
He had not expected the Nicholas family clan to be so powerful now. They were actually able to destroy the four large family clans in one go and return to the Holy Light City!
Their wish to return to the ancestral land had finally been fulfilled. Norton and the others must be very happy now.
Thinking of the words Norton had left behind before he left, the excitement in Colin Campbell’s heart was indescribable. He clenched his fists and looked into the distance through the window.
“I can’t wait to see the betrothal gifts from the Nicholas family…”
The low murmur drifted in the air.
When the news reached the Sky Blue Magic Academy, it immediately caused a commotion.
“The Nicholas family had destroyed the four large family clans of the Holy Light City in one battle! It is true!”
“Whoa! The Nicholas family has won? That’s impossible…” “Is it reliable? Could it be…”
“I heard the news from the City Lord. It’s definitely true!”
“It is said that the Nicholas family clan has produced a bunch of Great Archmagi! Especially Ron, he has already reached the peak!”
“It’s fake, right? How is this possible…”
“It’s true! The scenario at that time was roughly like this…”
“Yes! My family in the Holy Light City…”
In a cultivation formation, a group of Magi was discussing the latest major incident!
“Ron… is actually a top Great Archmage?!”
Upon hearing the keyword, a beautiful figure could not help but exclaim softly. What should she do…
It was naturally a good thing that the Nicholas family could defeat the four large family clans of the Holy Light City…
Serena was genuinely happy for them when she heard the news. However, she was always at a loss when she heard news about Ron.
From the last time they separated, every time she heard the word “Ron”, she would learn that his level had increased tremendously!
Currently, she was only a level-3 Great Archmage, but that person was already a top Great Archmage… This gap caused an extremely subtle change in the complicated emotions in her heart.
She believed that Ron would not break off this marriage because of the difference in levels, but…
“Sigh…” Serena sighed softly, a little lost.
This news had reached a small building.
The two women in white were arguing softly about this. They were not arguing about whether it was true or false, but…
“Should we report this news to the Grandmaster?”
“Let’s not tell her. After all, the Nicholas family clan has nothing to do with us now…”
“But I heard that our Grandmaster had a relationship with the Old Ancestor of the Nicholas family clan…”
“Watch your words! Do you want to die?!”
“Cough… I won’t say anymore… What’s happening to you?”
The words came to an abrupt stop and the woman looked in the direction of her companion’s gaze in surprise.
“What are the two of you talking about?” A cold female voice sounded.
The woman in white was so frightened that she almost knelt down to apologize. When did the Grandmaster appear?! How much had she heard?!
Beside them, a woman in her thirties had unknowingly appeared. Her long hair was like a waterfall, stretching out along the contour of her body. Her jade-like skin made one feel that it was perfect in every way.
This cold woman was also wearing a white dress. Her white dress was clearly similar to the others, but it made her look as cold as the cold moon, making it impossible for anyone to have any disrespectful thoughts.
Her voice was faint and ethereal. “Tell me, what happened to the Nicholas family?”
Upon hearing the Grandmaster’s question, the two women in white trembled like paper. They were so frightened that they almost lost their voices.
The white-robed woman, who had advised her companion to be careful with her words, turned pale and said uneasily, “Grandmaster, we…”
“Speak.” The woman’s voice was cold.
“It’s… it’s like this. I have received news earlier that… the Nicholas family clan has annihilated the four large family clans of the Holy Light City today and has returned grandly to the Holy Light City…”
The woman in white, who had stood up to answer, spoke very carefully.
“Returned?” asked the cold and aloof Corsia.
In her memory, the Nicholas family clan had always been a member of the four large family clans of the Holy Light City. Why did it sound today like something had been hidden…
The woman in white, who was already a Great Archmage, replied respectfully, “Grandmaster, the Nicholas family…”
She roughly explained the changes in the Nicholas family in the past few hundred years. She emphasized the difference in the situation 50 years ago and the past one year.
Corsia’s expression was calm. No emotion could be seen.
It seemed that she did not care about the current situation of the Nicholas family.
After the junior had finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and fell silent for a moment. Then, she looked at the two jittery women in white.
“How do the two of you know so much about the Nicholas family clan?”
“Grandmaster, a Mage came here today as a guest and we happened to talk about this. Only then did the two of us know…”
Back then, after the Grandmaster had returned from outside, she went into seclusion to study magical power. Then, the elders of the family clan gave the order that no one was allowed to mention or pay attention to the Nicholas family clan… This ban had been maintained for hundreds of years, and the two of them had accidentally learned a little about it.
As for the others, they probably only knew the order but did not know the reason.
In the past few hundred years, no one had paid attention to the Nicholas family clan in the Holy Light City. If it had not been for the fact that they had specially asked around, this information would not have reached their ears.
Half a day ago, a Mage happened to pass by here and talked about this matter, which had been spreading like wildfire in Ferrero City.
The two of them were really curious, so they asked in private.
However, after knowing this, they were conflicted again… They did not know if they should present this news to their Grandmaster.
Unexpectedly, just as they were arguing about whether they should tell her, their Grandmaster discovered them…
The two of them did not hide anything anymore and told her everything.
After hearing their explanation, Corsia was silent for a moment again. Then, she said calmly, “I understand.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure suddenly flashed and she disappeared.
The two Great Archmagi looked at each other and relaxed after a while.
After leaving, Corsia flashed for a few seconds and arrived at the peak of a mountain. She looked into the distance and seemed to have seen something… She was still cold and cheerless, but there was a hint of nostalgia and sadness in her eyes.
“It has been 500 years since we last met… I didn’t expect your descendants to have already gone through so much…”
After a few murmurs, her gaze suddenly softened, and a rare smile appeared on her lips, causing everything that was splendid and exquisite in her surroundings to pale in comparison.
