Chapter 256: The Ruins Appeared
“Why don’t I stay here and be a guest of the Nicholas family?”
Harris asked himself, but soon, he shook his head repeatedly and extinguished the thought again…
Over the past few days, he had been in the ups and downs. He did not want to give up the freedom to wander around, nor did he want his magical power realm to stagnate… He was hesitant and undecided.
He had already been wandering freely for more than 200 years. It was impossible for him to suddenly settle down in a certain place, in a certain family clan, and live the rest of his life listening to the orders of others.
Harris sighed heavily. His heart was dark with worry.
As he really could not make a decision, he planned to wait for Leonard, Edward, and the others to come over to discuss this carefully.
However, after waiting for two to three days, there was a sudden message from the other side saying that they had encountered a small accident and would probably not be able to rush over until later.
It was said that they had chanced upon some ruins and had heard that the battle to return had ended, so they planned to go in and explore. They might be able to find treasures.
Harris hesitated until his head hurt. He even wondered if he should go over and explore the treasures with them.
Buzz… As he was thinking about this and that, he sensed something. He suddenly reached into his clothes and took out a communication magical device. It was Leonard and the others.
Could it be that the two of them had finally arrived? Just as he was guessing, his pupils constricted when he saw the content.
Crack! The magical device in his hand suddenly shattered into a few pieces.
Oh no! His heart skipped a beat.
Something had probably happened to Leonard and the others!
The communication magical device had its own connection effect. If one side’s magical device was destroyed, the other side’s magical device would also be destroyed!
And in the content he had received just now, there was only one word—Help!
This was Leonard’s distress signal!
Harris suddenly jumped up from the bed and used his magical power to dash out of the room.
He charged into the air above the roof and stopped in his tracks.
The four figures followed closely behind and landed beside him. At the same time, many waves of magical power were probing in his direction.
“Senior Harris, what happened?” Norton took the initiative to ask. Ron and the other two behind him also looked over worriedly.
Harris’ expression was ugly, and his heart sank. “Leonard and the others have sent out a distress signal. Even the communication magical device has been shattered. I have to go and check out the situation quickly!”
Hearing this, Norton and the other three were all very worried. Ron took a step forward. “I’ll go with you and help!”
“Count me in.” Dick leaned over. “If the two of us go, we should be able to handle any situation.”
Norton and Zoro looked at the two most outstanding people in the family who had spoken in unison.
“Alright, the two of you, be careful,” Norton reminded them.
Ron and Dick were currently the strongest members of the Nicholas family clan, and they could help each other… They would go together, so they did not have to worry too much about safety, and it would save the rest of the family from taking the risk to go with them.
Moreover, the Nicholas family had been busy recently, so they could not spare too many clansmen to follow them.
Of course, just because the clansmen could not leave their posts temporarily did not mean that the others could not leave.
It just so happened that they had recruited many retainers recently, and it was time for them to be put into action.
Norton pondered for a moment and suggested, “In my opinion, the two of you should bring some retainers. Why don’t you bring Holken and Kadun?”
Holken was a new retainer who had joined later. His magical power realm was the same as Kadun’s. They were both level-5 Great Archmagi. At the same time, he was also the highest ranked among the seven Great Archmage retainers.
The level of these two was far inferior to Ron and Dick, so they naturally did not expect them to protect anyone. The main reason they had been sent this time was to be Ron and Dick’s assistants.
Ron and Dick agreed. “We’ll follow the family head’s arrangements.”
Perhaps because of the magical power, the two figures instantly landed beside them.
“Holken, Kadun, please assist them,” Norton instructed.
“Yes, Family Head!” The two of them responded respectfully.
Since they had already joined the Nicholas family, they would definitely listen to the family head’s arrangements. After all, they had already enjoyed the tenfold benefits.
At this moment, another figure landed and said, “Family Head, I’m also of level-5. Shall I follow them?”
Norton looked at Karuman and was stunned for a moment.
When he suggested bringing the retainers over, he had not thought of Karuman. In his heart, Karuman was different from the other retainers.
Holken and Kadun looked at Karuman in surprise. Something seemed to flash in their eyes.
“Alright, the six of you please take care of each other.”
After it had been confirmed, the six Great Archmagi flew to an extremely high altitude, and then Ron took out the Sacred Mist Ferry from his Storage Ring. The few of them took the flying ferry and left the Holy Light City.
The Great Archmagi in the Holy Light City sensed the energy waves of the flying ferry and looked in the direction of its departure in confusion.
The Nicholas family had actually sent out six Great Archmagi. Was they going to do something big?
“Last night, the Nicholas family’s flying ferry flew northeast. I wonder how many people are on the ferry. I wonder why!”
“Nothing major has happened recently… Why is it heading northeast?”
“Not many members of the Nicholas family clan seem to have disappeared… Have they brought their new retainers over?”
“…” The next day, the relevant news spread throughout the Holy Light City. Everyone was a little surprised and puzzled. They basically did not understand what the Nicholas family wanted to do…
In the afternoon, those who had been discussing the Nicholas family suddenly heard a piece of news and immediately diverted their attention.
“Hey, have you guys heard?”
“It is said that in the Lower Ocean State, the ruins of a Divine Mage have appeared!”
“What?!” Everyone who heard the news was stunned. “That’s a Divine Mage!!”
Then, he was tempted. “There must be treasures in the ruins! There might even be a divine-tier collection of manuals!!”
“Magical secret manuals! Magical sacred tools!”
Every Mage who heard the news was eager to give it a try.
Even the Great Magi and Great Archmagi could not hold back.
It was said that a few days ago, the ruins of a Divine Mage had been discovered by the local Magi. At that time, many Magi had gathered there. They had originally treated the ruins as ordinary ruins, but after entering, a Great Archmage immediately discovered that it turned out to be the ruins of a Divine Mage!
Immediately, those Great Archmagi there went berserk. They were all killing and plundering!
It was said that only three out of ten people were able to come out alive… The news of the ruins had only spread later.
After the news spread that the ruins of a Divine Mage had been found in the Lower Ocean State, a large group of Magi had already rushed there, including the Great Archmagi… It was said that even Divine Magi had gone there.
Some of the quick-witted spectators immediately associated this news with the news they had heard in the morning.
