Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking of this, he immediately tidied his clothes and came to the ancestral hall. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed deeply to express his gratitude. “Thank you, Old Ancestor, for helping me advance and become a Great Mage.”
[Ding… Worship by descendant. Received 120 Faith Points. The effect of the Faith Candle has been activated. Received additional 120 Faith Points.]
After Norton had kowtowed, the System notification sounded. Romo had thought 100 points was his limit. He did not expect that after his cultivation base increased, the Faith Points he contributed would also increase. This made Romo very happy.
It looked like he should help all his family clan members increase their cultivation base as soon as possible. This way, they would be able to contribute more Faith Points when they worshiped him. But for now, he should ask Norton to bring the Magic Stones over so he could build the Protective Formation. Then, Romo used his current ability and wrote a few large characters in the air with cold gas.
!!“Five Magic Stones!”
After Norton had finished paying his respect, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold. Even with his strength as a Great Mage, he could not help but shiver. He raised his head and was shocked to see the large characters which had appeared in the air.
“Five Magic Stones!”
Was this what the Old Ancestor had asked him for?
Has the Old Ancestor expended too much of his energy earlier to help me advance, so he needs the Magic Stones to recover? Yes, that’s probably it. I happen to have five Magic Stones at home, just enough for the Old Ancestor.
“Old Ancestor, please wait a moment. I’ll bring the Magic Stones over immediately!”
Norton spoke respectfully to Romo’s ancestral tablet without any hesitation.
Shortly after, Norton returned with the only five Magic Stones in his house. He held the five Magic Stones with both hands and said, “Old Ancestor, I’ve brought the five Magic Stones you wanted.”
When Romo saw that he had the Magic Stones, he took out the blueprint for the Small Protective Formation. With a thought, he immediately built it. Then, the blueprint for the Small Protective Formation turned into a beam of shining light which swept up the five Magic Stones and flew in five directions. Then, they landed on the peripheries of the family clan. Soon after, a light curtain rose and they finally merged together, protecting the entire Nicholas family clan.
This was a Small Protective Formation. Its power was limited, but once he had sufficient Faith Points, Romo could increase the scale of this Protective Formation.
Norton saw the five Magic Stones fly away, followed by a light curtain covering his entire family clan. He was shocked. He could tell that it was a Protective Formation.
It turns out that the Old Ancestor has not asked me for the Magic Stones to use them on himself. Instead, he had wanted to create a Protective Formation for our clan. This way, no one will be able to attack our family clan. The Old Ancestor is really too good to us.
“Thank you for your protection, Old Ancestor.” Norton kowtowed again in gratitude.
The next day, Norton had gathered all the clansmen again. The clansmen were all a little desensitized by now. In any case, the head of the family would not gather them for no reason. However, except for some core members, no one knew the reason. However, since the head of the family had summoned them, they certainly had to return.
On the other hand, Zoro, Sonia and the other core members had returned as soon as they received the order. They knew very well that every time the family head summoned them, there would be good news. This time, it might be that their Old Ancestor had manifested again to give them some good stuff.
“Big Brother, what good news do you have this time?” This was Norlin.
“Father, did our Old Ancestor appear again? Did he bestow upon us some magical items?” This was Zoro.
Sonia also looked at Norton with a hopeful expression.
Norton laughed and said, “Indeed, our Old Ancestor had appeared again but he didn’t give us anything.”
“Ah? Then why did the Old Ancestor appear?” Everyone asked curiously.
Norton smiled faintly and said mysteriously, “Let me show you my current strength.”
After speaking, Norton unleashed his magical power directly. Instantly, a large magic formation appeared beneath his feet. A huge wave of magic power appeared and radiated outward, wave after wave. The entire conference hall seemed to have been blown by a level-12 wind, shocking everyone.
“Big brother, you… you’ve advanced to the realm of a Great Mage?” Norlin looked at the large magic formation under Norton’s feet in utter disbelief.
A Mage would only have magic runes. It was only those who had advanced to the level of a Great Mage would be able to arrange all the magic runes into a formation.
And it was obvious now that Norton had successfully arranged all the magic runes into a formation. Moreover, there was this unbelievably powerful aura. He was definitely a Great Mage.
“Haha, that’s right. With the help of our Old Ancestor, I’m indeed a Great Mage now!” Norton laughed heartily as he said this. Then, he put away his magical power. Instantly, the entire conference hall became quiet again.
Although the conference room had turned calm, everyone here could not be calm. Norlin, Zoro, and Sonia’s eyes were blazing with excitement. The family clan finally had another Great Mage. Now, they no longer had to fear the Grimm family clan and the Campbell family clan.
It should be known that the last Great Mage of the family clan was Norton’s great-grandfather, Ramoe Nicholas, who was also the family head that led their family to flee here. He was a level-6 Great Mage. It was precisely because of his strength as a level-6 Great Mage that he was able to successfully establish his family clan in Winterfrost, taking root here and even becoming on-par with the other two large family clans. However, ever since Ramoe died, there had not been another Great Mage in their family clan. As a result, they were wantonly oppressed by the other two large family clans. But they could do nothing about it because they did not dare to retaliate. If they had really provoked the other two large family clans, they would be beaten up if they had sent out their Great Mage. It could be said that they suffered numerous grievances. However, things had turned for the better now as their family had finally produced another Great Mage. At last, they would not have to be afraid of oppression by the other parties anymore.
Norton saw how excited the three of them were and recalled how they had been previously oppressed by the other two large family clans. He sighed and said, “These were all bestowed by our Old Ancestor. If it weren’t for our Old Ancestor, I wouldn’t have been able to advance to become a Great Mage. Therefore, we must always remember our Old Ancestor and thank him.”
“We will.”
Norton said, “Alright, let’s pay our respects to our Old Ancestor.”
Norton then led the entire clan to the ancestral hall to pay respect to Romo.
After they had paid their respects, Norlin said, “Big Brother, you have advanced and become a Great Mage. This is a big matter for our family clan.. We have to celebrate grandly and make our clansmen feel proud.”
