Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 257: Scarlet Blood

??

The flying ferry of the Nicholas family clan was heading in the direction of the Lower Ocean State which was northeast!

“They might have received the news in advance and want to rush over to take a share…”

“Very likely…”

“However… it might also not be the case?”

Without discussing the actual attitude of the others first, the hearts of the Nicholas family members skipped a beat when they heard the news.

Norton, Zoro, and the Nicholas family were all very worried.

This was because Ron and the others were headed for the Lower Ocean State! And it really seemed to be the ruins of that Divine Mage!

Previously, Harris had told Norton that he was going to that treasure-hunting ground to find Leonard and the others…

Thinking that the six of them, who were traveling on the flying ferry, might have missed the news, Norton immediately used the communication magical device to contact Ron.

“…That’s the general situation in the news. Now, I suspect that Leonard and the others were likely the first batch of people to discover the ruins of the Divine Mage. From the looks of it, the reason that Leonard had sent out the distress signal was very likely because he had been injured in the fight for the treasures…”

“All of you have to be careful. This matter has already spread like wildfire. It can be predicted that there will be a huge commotion later!”

“This is different from what we knew earlier… There might be another bloodbath in the magical world.”

“Alright, we understand…”

Ron put down his communicating device. His expression was grave, and he looked a little stern. The others also looked as if this matter had become serious.

However, the three retainers were more excited than worried. This was the ruins of a Divine Mage!

Although this trip would definitely be a few levels more dangerous than what they had expected, at the same time, it might also bring their strength to a higher level… Anyone would be tempted by the ruins of a Divine Mage, right?

Moreover, to be honest, not only was their group strong, they were also one step ahead of many.

Holken could not help but look at Ron with glowing eyes.

“Young Master Ron, on this trip… should we participate in the treasure hunt?”

“Since we’ve made it in time, we definitely can’t miss this. If there’s a chance, we’ll participate.”

Ron gave an affirmative answer and emphasized, “The main mission for this trip is to find Leonard and Edward. We’ll see what happens…”

“It’s best to save people first before snatching the treasures.”

Upon hearing this, Holken was a little disappointed. This was not what he had expected, but he did not refute it. He only nodded.

In his opinion, exploring the ruins of a Divine Mage and obtaining magical weapons, manuals, and ancient tomes were the most important. However… now that he was already a retainer of the Nicholas family, he should listen to Young Master Ron’s arrangements.

When Harris, who was secretly worried, heard this, the pressure in his heart eased a little. With his own strength, it would probably be difficult for him to save people in this chaotic situation.

Fortunately, there were members of the Nicholas family. Fortunately, they were all loyal.

The Lower Ocean State was an adjacent region northeast of Ferrero City. Its area was slightly smaller than that of Ferrero. The main geographical terrains were the mountains and rivers…

It was rumored that many experts had lived in seclusion in these mountains since ancient times.

About a thousand years ago in the Lower Ocean State, someone had discovered the ruins of a Divine Mage here. At that time, an extremely bloody and tragic battle had occurred, involving the entire Sebastian Kingdom. Even the four top factions and the empire had not been able to escape…

It was said that some of the famous large factions and big shots had more or less obtained some treasures in that great battle, which enabled them to remain in an invincible position for a long time.

Among them, it was said that one person had successfully obtained the legacy of a Divine Mage in that great chaos and was able to live forever…

Currently, the location of the ruins of the Divine Mage was in Luhoe Captial of the Lower Ocean State.

The Luhoe Capital happened to be on the side of Ferrero City. With the speed of the flying ferry which Ron and the others were on, they would arrive successfully in less than a day.

When the Nicholas family clan had left Winterfrost and flew toward the Holy Light City, Leonard and Edward had also chosen to rush to the Holy Light City immediately, just like Harris. However, as the journey was long, it would take several days even if they were to rush.

On the way there, they had heard the news that the Nicholas family clan had annihilated the four large family clans in one battle, so they did not rush day and night.

On the way, they happened to run into some ancient ruins, so they told Harris that they were going to search for treasures… but something unexpected happened.

Fortunately, Leonard and the other two had been in contact with Harris earlier, so Ron and the others were able to hurry over.

It was not known if the two of them would still be fine when Ron and the others arrived at the destination…

… When Ron received Norton’s message, it was in the afternoon. They were in the Lower Ocean State, and it did not take long for them to get close to the Luhoe Capital.

When they arrived at the Luhoe Capital, they found that the atmosphere here was very different from that of the Holy Light City.

Along the way, they could see Great Archmagi flashing past from time to time. They were all rushing to the same place.

As they continued to fly forward, a large stretch of sparkling water appeared on the ground ahead. It was like the surface of a real sea, and it was a magnificent blood-red color.

The surrounding areas of the Lower Ocean State were all land. This looked like the sea, but it naturally was not the sea. This large area of blood-red sea was actually a large freshwater lake.

As the area was too eye-catching, coupled with the fact that this place produced the Red Rose Lotus, it was called the Red Rose Sea.

Every time the Red Rose Lotus bloomed, it would dye the entire water red.

This time, the ruins of the Divine Mage had appeared in this rose-red sea.

If this matter had not reached the Holy Light City and Norton had not known and then sent a message to them, Ron and the others would probably have to investigate the situation and spend a lot of time on this when they arrived in the Lower Ocean State.

Although they could not compare to the locals and the people nearby, they were at least much faster than the people near the Holy Light City.

When they got closer to the Red Rose Sea, Ron and the others subconsciously spread out their magical power to search the surroundings, but they were disturbed by a resistance.

What prevented them from using their magical power to search was the “sea” below.

This sea did not have the natural barrier of the Dark Night Canyon. It had a magic formation barrier!

It seemed to be an incomplete magic formation. Its original effect should have been to completely block the use of magical power. Now, this incomplete formation could only achieve the effect of obstruction…

However, although it was incomplete, the magic formation was still very effective. The further into the center of the Red Rose Sea, the greater the obstruction.

The range of this magic formation was extremely large, so large that it had completely enveloped the entire Red Rose Sea. It had already reached a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers.

Such a coincidence did not seem like a coincidence… Could it be that this entire rose-red sea belonged to that Divine Mage?

Boom!

When Ron and the others were almost at the edge of the Red Rose Sea, there was a sudden sound not far ahead. Two figures were approaching quickly. From that panicked state, it was obvious that the former was fleeing, and the latter was chasing. One of them was a level-3 Great Archmage, and the other was a level-4 Great Archmage.
