Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Novel - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Important Clues

When Ron received the news, he was overjoyed. He did not want to waste any time, so he quickly packed up and left the Walls Village, heading toward the place Colin had mentioned.

Ron had almost fallen into despair earlier, but now a new hope had been rekindled.

The person’s surname was Nicholas, and he was a little proficient in magical power. He was not from the Walls Village. He had passed by Walls Village a few days ago, bought a weapon and left. These clues corresponded with the clansman Ron had been looking for.

When Ron had just arrived in Hardy County, he had heard that the number of demon beasts in the Black Forest had suddenly increased, so the City Lord wanted to gather a group of Magi to suppress them and eliminate them immediately. However, Ron had not paid much attention to it in the beginning.

It was best to find a Mage to do this kind of thing. After all, compared to the soldiers, it was a more convenient and efficient method.

Before coming here, Ron had also heard from the Old Ancestor about some things in Hardy County. Back then, the Old Ancestor had been surrounded by demon beasts in the Black Forest.

The Black Forest was known as the Black Forest because there were many black ironwood trees inside. It was about 300 meters away from Hardy County. The Black Forest was vast and boundless, and it bordered many other countries.

There were many demon beasts in the Black Forest, and the level of danger was extraordinary. If an ordinary person with no knowledge of magical power were to enter and come out alive, it would be a tremendous blessing. Legend had it that most of the demon beasts here were level-5 and level-6, and there were even some level-7 demon beasts. However, these were all rumors, and no one had verified whether they were true or false.

Under normal circumstances, the demon beasts in the periphery of the Black Forest were all of relatively low levels. However, sometimes, the level-5 and 6 demon beasts in the center would attack the periphery. This was regarded as the “Beast Tide Rebellion” by everyone.

Although large-scale rebellions were very rare and only occurred once in about a hundred years, small-scale rebellions would happen sometimes. Therefore, the City Lord would often gather the Magi to go and get rid of the demon beasts.

At the same time, the Black Forest was also a treasure land. Many Magi would come here to train and search for treasures. There were also some Magi who relied on the search of treasures in the Black Forest to earn spirit stones.

And every time a rebellion occurred, there would be many more Magi in the Black Forest than usual because they could also obtain the City Lord’s bounty for getting rid of the demon beasts.

However, usually, only those Magi of higher levels would appear. After all, this was a matter with a higher risk factor. If one was not careful, one could lose both life and wealth.

Just after Ron had just received the news, he was very worried about Balu’s safety. After all, he was a level-5 Mage of the Innate Realm, and the area he was in charge of was more dangerous. Ron was worried that he would not be able to handle it.

Therefore, Ron needed to make the most of his time. He used a little magical power to accelerate his flight. In less than an hour, he had entered the area Colin had mentioned.

Everywhere he looked, he could see the shadows of demon beasts and Magi fighting. There were a large number of demon beasts, and after fighting one, there would still be another. It was as if there was an endless stream.

The level of danger here had far surpassed Ron’s expectations. Along the way, Ron had also seen many fallen Magi, which made Ron even more worried.

The closer he got to the central region of the Black Forest, the more tragic the casualty situation became. In the midst of this, Ron even encountered some demon beasts that tried to stop him, but they were only level-4 demon beasts, so they posed no threat to Ron at all.

Later on, Ron could clearly sense that the number of level-5 and level-6 demon beasts had increased, and there was a huge commotion not far away.

After walking a little further, he arrived at the area where Balu was. There were a total of eight people inside, and they were engaged in an intense battle with a group of demon beasts.

According to Colin’s information earlier, a total of 15 people had joined the team, and there were a few corpses lying on the side. Ron dared not think further.

“Ah!” A scream could be heard from afar. A Mage had been torn into two by the demon beast and thrown casually to the ground.

“Everyone, quick gather! Everyone, be careful.” A tall and powerful man hurriedly shouted loudly. As he shouted, he slashed dead a demon beast.

“There are too many demon beasts. We don’t have many people left.”

“If there’s really no other way, let’s retreat. It’s not worth losing our lives for this bit of money.”

“That’s right. This is not a small rebellion. It’s a large-scale one.”

“Quick, retreat. You guys leave quickly.”

“Brothers, you guys retreat first. I’ll cover the rear.”

Amidst the sounds of battle, there were also the sounds of the Magi lamenting. Just as these Magi were being forced back by the demon beasts, a demon beast in the form of a mantis suddenly appeared in the middle of their group. It waved its sickle, preparing to chop a Mage into two.

The Mage did not have the time to dodge at all. His brain could not react at all. He could only stand still, unable to move. He had already closed his eyes to welcome death.

Suddenly, a beam of red light appeared in the sky, and the sound of a sword could be heard in the air. In the next second, the demon beast’s sickle and body were both cut in half.

Immediately after, a red light carried the sword in a circle in the air. With the screams of the demon beasts, most of the demon beasts were killed.

It was not known whether the group of Magi had been scared silly or shocked by Ron’s swordsmanship. Their mouths all opened wide, and they did not speak for a long time. They could only look in the direction of the red light trying to figure out who had saved them. Only then did they see a person slowly descending from the sky.

“Hello, Orville, we meet again,” said Ron when he saw an acquaintance.

“Why are you here?” Orville looked at Ron in disbelief. He was very shocked. Now, he was certain that Ron was a Mage of the Divine Power Realm. “You’re indeed extraordinary.”

“I’m here to find someone,” said Ron. Since he had encountered another familiar face, the situation was much easier. As long as nothing unexpected happened to the descendant of the Nicholas family, he would definitely be able to find him.

“Do you have anyone here named Balu?” Ron said as he swept his gaze across the crowd, hoping to get some clues.

The other Magi seemed to have just recovered from their shock. They looked at Ron in disbelief and suspicion, and all of them looked in the same direction.

Ron looked over happily in the same direction as them and his heart sank. He had not expected what he had been worried about to happen, because what they were looking at was a corpse.
