Chapter 290: Marriage Proposal

Two days passed. It was time for the Nicholas family to propose marriage!

Hence, that morning, the people from the Holy Light City suddenly discovered that the Nicholas family had mobilized that splendid flying ferry again!

Everyone did not understand for a moment what the Nicholas family wanted to do…

Just as they were discussing in surprise with the passers-by beside them, they suddenly heard a loud cry.

Looking in the direction of the cry, they saw a five-color peacock with an extraordinary aura soaring into the sky and circling above the Holy Light City. Its huge shadow blotted out the sky and covered the sun. Everyone who saw it was intimidated, and they were also being enveloped by the dazzling light of the five-color peacock. It was too magical…

Someone quickly reacted. This magical five-color peacock was the level-7 Guardian Spirit Beast of the Nicholas family clan!

Seeing the Five-Color Peacock and the splendid flying ferry fly into the sky and into the distance, many people were shocked.

“Why… why is there so much pomp?”

“Could they be going to the Gale Wind Island to settle scores? After all, they have even brought a level-7 Spirit Beast.”

Everyone discussed spiritedly; they could not figure it out.

It was not until later that they heard some news. It turned out that this trip was to propose marriage!

This… A visit to propose marriage had caused such a stir. Everyone simply did not know what to say.

However, after they had thought that this was Ron’s marriage, the most well-known in the Nicholas family, everyone smiled.

With the current prestige and strength of the Nicholas family, it was not exaggerating to give the strongest of their younger generation some pomp.

… .

The next morning.

In Winterfrost, at the Campbell Residence.

As usual, Colin Campbell was still cultivating magical power in the quiet room.

When Norton came over to bid farewell, he had given him some Magic Pills, which he had not finished using yet.

With these pills, Colin Campbell’s level had increased extremely quickly recently. He even had the thought that he might be able to break through to the Great Archmage realm.

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps could be heard, interrupting his cultivation. He did not look good. He stopped cultivating and opened his eyes to look toward the door.

Knock, knock, knock! There was a hurried knock on the door.

“Come in,” Colin Campbell said slowly.

The door to the quiet room was pushed open by a man. He was clearly middle-aged, but the smile on his lips could not be smoothed out. He shouted happily as soon as he entered.

“Father! The Nicholas family is back!”

This person was Colin Campbell’s son and also Serena’s father. His name was Conda.

Colin Campbell was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed in surprise, “Are they really back?!”

“Indeed!” Conda nodded empathetically and said affirmatively, “The Nicholas family’s flying ferry has already arrived outside Winterfrost! It will be here soon!!”

Colin Campbell jumped up and landed steadily on the ground. He walked out quickly. “Come, let’s take a look!”

It was not just Conda. Everyone in Winterfrost had discovered the huge familiar flying ferry in the sky.

Instantly, the entire Winterfrost was in an uproar!

The Nicholas family’s flying ferry had returned to Winterfrost!!

Although the last time the flying ferry left, it was not too long ago, but now… the Nicholas family clan was already a legendary existence to the people of Winterfrost!

As they had witnessed the decline of the Nicholas family, now that they saw this family soar to the sky, they could not help but sigh at the rise and fall of current affairs. Things were really difficult to predict.

Every day, when Winterfrost listened to news about various astonishing matters of the Nicholas family coming out from the Holy Light City, coupled with the latter’s previous experiences in Winterfrost, they would sense an extremely unique sentiment.

The more they digested the news, the stronger the sentiment.

Everyone in Winterfrost had witnessed the decline of the Nicholas family clan and its strong development. They felt inexplicably proud.

Under the gaze of the entire Winterfrost, the flying ferry floated to the sky above Winterfrost.

A figure flew out quickly from the City Lord Residence of Winterfrost and stopped in front of the flying ferry. This person was the City Lord of Winterfrost, Lein Dupont.

At the same time, several figures appeared on the flying ferry. At the front of the team was the family head Norton, followed by Jimmy, Ron, and the other Great Archmagi of the Nicholas family.

Half of the Great Archmagi of the Nicholas family clan had come out on this trip. Zoro, Aaron, and the others stayed in the family territory to guard.

The retainers whom they had gathered earlier had also been brought out as assistants.

With the current strength and prestige of the Nicholas family clan, there was no need for them to carefully hide their glory. If necessary, they would be grand and show off, which would be in line with their current status. At the same time, it would be a show of force, and also enhance their reputation.

“City Lord of Winterfrost.”

Norton and the others stood in front of Lein Dupont and greeted him casually.

“Welcome back to Winterfrost, everyone from the Nicholas family.” Lein Dupont smiled and greeted them, his emotions subtle.

Things were different now. With the current strength and influence of the Nicholas family, he, the City Lord, was no longer a match for them.

If someone had told him a year ago that the strength of the Nicholas family clan would far surpass Winterfrost in the future, he would definitely kick this person away. He might even have to use some severe punishment to see which powerful family clan was bewitching the crowd. Of course, it was more likely that he would laugh in disdain and not believe it at all.

The two sides spoke briefly, and Lein Dupont learned the purpose of the Nicholas family’s visit.

After understanding it, the City Lord of Winterfrost did not disturb them anymore. He bade farewell and left.

The flying ferry continued to fly to a low altitude above Campbell’s residence. Dick put away the flying ferry, and the group landed in the residence.

On this trip, the Ninth Princess, Norlis, who had wanted to watch the show, was not seen. She had suddenly been summoned back by her family…

In Campbell’s front yard, Colin Campbell and the rest of the family were already waiting. When they saw Norton and the others, everyone became excited.

Among them, except Colin Campbell, the others were both surprised and nervous. They did not even know where to put their hands. A group of Great Archmagi was standing in front of them!

“Brother!” Norton smiled at Colin Campbell and said, “Our Nicholas family has come to honor our promise!”

“I’ve come to propose marriage on behalf of my grandson, Ron!”

“Hahaha! Brother Norton is true to his words. I haven’t waited long!”

Colin Campbell laughed when he heard this. He nodded with a flushed face and greeted the people from the Nicholas family one by one.

Soon, he realized that something was wrong and asked curiously, “Eh? Where’s my future grandson-in-law?”

Norton chuckled. “Ron… he went to the Sky Blue Magic Academy to fetch Serena.”

According to the customs of the magical world, after a member had joined a magical faction, the place where the faction was located would be considered another home for the Mage. Some factions would even require their members to be completely separated from their previous family and ordinary people once they joined.

The Sky Blue Magic Academy was not that strict. However, since Serena had joined this faction, it was naturally considered half a family.

Therefore, when they came to propose marriage this time, not only did they come to Campbell’s residence, they also sent someone to the Sky Blue Magic Academy.

When he heard “Ron is going to the Sky Blue Magic Academy to fetch Serena”, Colin Campbell was stunned for a moment before he laughed. “Hahaha! This kid is too anxious!”

“Alright! Let’s go in and have a seat. We can chat as we wait!”
