Chapter 241: : Hidden Rewards

At this moment, in the sky somewhere outside Holy Light City, on a flying ferry, Prince VII watched with burning eyes as the flying ferry slowly landed in the City Lord’s residence. An ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

“The Nicholas family clan has really given me a huge surprise, hehe.” Prince VII’s eyes lit up, and his expression seemed a little smug.

“Chief Steward Hansen, you said that I seemed to have found the right party this time. What do you think?”

Behind Prince VII, Chief Steward Hansen was also quite surprised, so he smiled and nodded. “The Prince is really capable. Even I have to admit defeat.”

Prince VII laughed and said, “Chief Steward Hansen, flattery has never been your forte.”

“Ha, I was just telling the truth.” Chief Steward Hansen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “However, with the Nicholas family clan’s strength, it looks like they won’t submit to us easily, right?”

“I naturally know this,” said Prince VII. “Now that I think about it, my simple contact with them earlier on was just wishful thinking. They did not need that kind of help at all, but it does not matter. At least, I have buttered the Nicholas family clan up more than the others.”

As he spoke, Prince VII looked toward the center of the city and said, “It looks like someone has discovered this earlier than us. Let’s go. In this case, we should pay a visit.”

Then, the flying ferry flew toward the city and landed inside the city.

On one flying ferry, many people were still in a daze. Even after they had landed, they still found it unbelievable.

Although they also trusted Ron and the others very much, it could be said that they trusted them absolutely, they had really not imagined such a method.

Some people were just happy, while others were worried and horrified. After all, it was such a brutal act… There were also some people who did not know that Ron had exterminated the other family clans, such as Lily and Devon.

However, those who were a little more mature actually had a clear understanding in their hearts. They understood that Ron needed a lot of resolve to be able to do this.

After everyone had alighted from the flying ferry, Ron put it away, and Norton began to arrange for people to take over various matters.

Currently, because of the extermination, this place only had some servants left; they had not reacted yet to what had happened. It was basically a mess… If they did not tidy it up, then no matter how large this place was, it would not be comfortable to stay here.

The first step of the transformation was to erase all the traces left behind by the family clan that had lived here previously, including the furniture, the manpower… Everything had to be removed.

As a large number of people and items were moved away, they also moved in a large number of their own items.

The new place was many times larger than their previous place. For a moment, it was really difficult to get rid of all the items, big and small. They could only clear some important areas first.

There was no need to elaborate on the most important matter.

Soon, even children like Lily and Devon were brought to this place.

They looked curiously at the adults with reddened eyes. They did not understand why the adults were crying non-stop.

However, they were still smiling and could not even speak.

Norton, Zoro, and Herbert had tears in their eyes. Their emotions were extremely complicated. They were excited, emotional, and… This was something the younger generation could not understand.

Back then, they had left in a sorry state with their elders. Now, they had returned with the elders and generations of their family clansmen…

They would definitely fulfill the last wish of their Old Ancestor!

Even if they were gone, the descendants would inherit the family clan’s will and continue to move forward!

This family clan had finally returned to their origin today and regained everything that had been snatched away in the past.

From now on, they would definitely make this family clan stronger!

They would not disappoint the Old Ancestor!

… .

In the void, an invisible phantom watched everything quietly. He was also very emotional.

After many twists and turns, he had finally returned to this most familiar place.

Although there were some places that were different from what he remembered, they had remained the same in general. He could still sense the traces of familiarity and the warmth.

Romo was very satisfied. The emptiness in his heart had been filled.

To him, this was his home. The previous one was just a temporary residence.

Here, he had expanded the territory step by step. He had seen with his own eyes many of the buildings here being constructed…

It was during this period of gradual growth and expansion that he had developed this family clan into the largest family clan.

Romo sighed, his heart filled with indescribable complicated emotions.

[The family clan has successfully relocated.]

[Hidden mission, return to the origin. It has been successfully completed.]

[Received the following rewards:…]

The Systems notifications sounded in his ear, instantly scattering Romo’s indescribable emotions. He carefully flipped through the rewards given by the System. He flipped through several pages in a row and still had not finished. It felt good.

It was rare for the System to be so generous. It had actually given generous rewards that had never been seen before!

He had not expected there to be such a hidden setting, and that the rewards would be so generous. He was dazzled.

Previously, Romo had been somewhat puzzled. After all, he had received rewards for completing a relatively small mission. Why was there no related mission generated to resolve such a major family feud? It turned out that this major event had been waiting here. The System had actually set up a hidden mission.

Such a hidden mission would result in generous rewards that far surpassed the usual. However, a milestone had been set up. There had been no notifications, and it was triggered and accomplished passively.

From the looks of it, this setting was a little like an achievement system that had no notifications.

“This System, which generates missions for me, is quite creative.” Romo could not help but complain in his heart.

Naturally, he did not receive any response. After all, a machine did not have an emotional module.

Romo did not care about anything else and started to use the System rewards.

With a wave of Faint Points, his level kept rising… He was only one step away from the next threshold!

After he had leveled up, he started to count the various rewards given by the System, preparing to use them one by one.

First, he had to upgrade the protective formation and the forbidden ground.

After all the clansmen had moved back to their current home, the protective formation and forbidden ground which he had set up earlier had automatically moved to a new location.

Of course, the orientation had not changed, and the entrance was the same.

With a thought from Romo, the System sounded again.

[Confirmed use… successful use…]

[The current level of the Protective Formation is level-5. The effects have been stacked… The effect of the experience has increased from 30 times to 40 times… It has increased up to five times… The effect has been enhanced… Ten times more cultivation has been added…]

After the upgrade, the effects of many attributes had increased. Of course, there were also those that had not. Moreover, a new attribute had been added this time—it was a Retainer Tenfold Cultivation Speed effect.
