Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Chapter 372 – Magic Stone Mine

The news of Formick’s breakthrough did not attract much attention. The members of the Nicholas family had long been used to such a speed of breakthrough, and it had not spread outside, so it naturally did not cause much of a stir.

Not only had Formick’s incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons been restored, it had also evolved. Only a very small number of core members knew about this. Scheer naturally knew about this too, but knowing this did not mean that he could tell others. Thereafter, he appeared again as a retainer of the Nicholas family and took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of guiding Formick in the cultivation of poisons. He was relieved to have received this mission. At least, he could be of some use.

The Nicholas family had not told him everything about how Formick’s incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons had been restored and evolved in that short period of time. Scheer also did not mind. Although he wanted very much to know, there was a price to pay for wanting to know certain things. The appearance of the new retainer had not attracted much attention on the surface. In the palace, he was just an ordinary retainer.

As the poison cultivator had been handed over to the Nicholas family in the end to deal with, the other factions in the Holy Light City did not pursue the matter on Holy Light School’s spring outing to the Liao Green Mountain. In a flash, several days had passed…

At dusk, the school bell at the entrance of the Holy Light School sounded as expected. The students were like sparrows that had been locked in a cage, jumping out of the school gate happily. Among the noisy group of students, there was a group of students who stood out in particular. Those walking around them, on the left and right, and even those further away, were trying their best to look in their direction, and they discussed fervently. There were looks of admiration and also looks of disgust. The temperament of this group of students was a little different from the others. They seemed to be more disciplined in their actions. They were the youngest generation of the Nicholas family.

At the front of the group were three of the four young masters of the Nicholas family clan. They were Anthony, Arka, and Durga. There were several of their siblings beside and behind them. They paid attention and discussed. The Nicholas family members had long been used to such a life. Young people like them were also used to it. They did not care about the looks from others and continued to chat and laugh with their little companions.

Durga stretched his arms and opened them wide. He said in a bored manner, “Sigh… the things in school are so boring! I’m so envious of Formick. It’s great that he doesn’t have to come to school! When will I be able to break through and advance?!” Over the past few days, Formick had been staying home to cultivate and had not gone to school temporarily because he had to stabilize his newly advanced Great Archmage realm and start to cultivate poison.

“You haven’t even advanced to become a Great Archmage, and you’re already causing a scene.” Arka glanced over. “If you were to really advance, I’m afraid you’ll find someone to fight with again.”

Durga was indignant. “No! I haven’t fought recently!”

Arka said calmly, “That’s all because Sidney hasn’t been coming to school.”

Durga was speechless.

This was not something he could refute. Ever since that kid, Sidney, had a fright on the Liao Green Mountain, he had not come to school. For the past few days, he had not even had a chance to show off his fists and kicks. People of the same realm basically could not defeat him. Compared to finding an opponent, it was better to break through and find a new opponent.

Thinking of this, Durga looked at Anthony with a sincere gaze. “Anthony, can you help me plead with Elder Uncle? I’m really ready to break through!”

Originally, the few of them were all stuck in the realm of a top Great Mage. Although he was very tempted, he had no choice. However, it was different now. Anthony and Formick had both advanced to the realm of Great Archmagi. He really wanted to advance and become a Great Archmage expert!

Anthony rolled his eyes and was about to say something to dismiss Durga’s thoughts when he suddenly discovered something. His eyes lit up and he shouted in surprise, “Aunt Lily!!”

The others also looked ahead, and they were all very surprised. They shouted one after another, “Sister Lily!” They saw a beautiful lady smiling and nodding at them under a large tree with green shoots that was by the side of the road ahead.

A group of students quickly scurried to Lily’s side and surrounded her, chattering and asking questions. Previously, Lily had been the leader of the children in the Nicholas family palace. Even the most mischievous Durga had to listen to her obediently. All the children admired her and were willing to listen to her.

Sometimes, when the adults could not handle their own children, they would get Lily to intervene. This had been very effective. Later on, Lily advanced and became a Great Archmage, and her previous cheerful and sprightly personality gradually became mellowed. She started to go out to handle family affairs and travel. She rarely stayed at home. Without her, the large group of children in the family did not have as much fun.

“Alright, alright! Let’s hurry home and distribute the gifts!” Lily smiled and led a group of children who kept asking questions home.

Along the way, Anthony squeezed himself into the center of the group of children and asked, “Aunt Lily, how was the trip to the Magic Stone Mine?”

Lily frowned. “Anthony, your assistance might be required for the mine issue.”

Anthony was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up. “Is there really a Magic Stone Mine?”

Lily replied softly, “Let’s go back to the clan first.”

Recently, she had gone out to deal with another important family matter.

… .

In the past ten years, the Nicholas family had become more and more powerful. Beside their magical power, they had also increased in various other aspects, such as their businesses. Whether it was ordinary business or magical business, they were all growing larger and stronger.

As the level of Nicholas family’s magical power was basically not an issue, they were more inclined to use it in actual combat. The family clan would usually send out a few clansmen and a few retainers to train together. When such a training team was out to train for real combat, they would also gather all kinds of natural treasures from outside to replenish the family clan’s inventory. This was because the family clan simultaneously had clansmen who refined medicine pills, magical weapons, magic formations, and talismans. The usual consumption of materials was also huge.

A few months ago, a training team had gone to the Calamity Mountain Range to train and search for natural treasures. They had accidentally discovered traces of a Magic Stone Mine somewhere. In the magical world, the Magic Stone Mine was equivalent to a gold and silver mine in the secular world. The Nicholas family naturally placed great value on this Magic Stone Mine. When they learned of this, they immediately sent their clansmen to investigate in private. Lily, who had recently become a level-7 Great Archmage, also went to the Calamity Mountain Range to take a look.

Ten days ago, the latest news had come back that there had been a breakthrough in the investigation of the Magic Stone Mine. At the same time, they had encountered a problem that a group of Great Archmagi could not solve, so Dick had also gone to the Calamity Mountain Range. When he got there, Dick could not be sure of the location of the Magic Stone Mine, so he had asked Lily to return to the clan and see if Anthony could calculate anything. After Lily had rushed back to the Holy Light City, she happened to pass by the Holy Light School, so she waited by the side of the road for Anthony and the others.

… .

After they had arrived at the family palace, the children dispersed. Lily brought Anthony to see Zoro and the other core members. After hearing Lily’s story, everyone present looked at Anthony.

Anthony asked, “Aunt Lily, do you have the map for that area?”

Lily took out the map and the other documents. “All the information is here.”

Anthony took them and examined them carefully. Then, he lowered his eyes to calculate…

After a long while, Anthony looked up and frowned. He said helplessly, “I’m sorry… I still can’t predict from the calculation.” This was not the first time he had tried to calculate the location of a Magic Stone Mine, but he had not calculated anything. The Small Prediction Technique was very mysterious, but it was not omnipotent. Since Anthony had learned this prediction technique, he had actually not calculated much.

Hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed, but it was fine. Lily comforted Anthony, “It’s okay, we’ll be able to find out eventually!”

Zoro pondered. “Why don’t we let Ron go?” No one had not been tempted by the Magic Stone Mine. The Nicholas family naturally wanted to possess it, and this matter could not be delayed.

“Then I’ll go too!” Anthony offered himself. “If I am there, I might be able to calculate something.”
