Ron sized up the person opposite him and said slowly, “We are from the Nicholas family. This is the Holy Light City.”

He paused for a moment and asked, “Who are you?”

“The Nicholas family? Holy Light City?”

The savage repeated the two terms in shock, as if he had never heard them before. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he let out a bitter laugh, as if he had understood something.

Everyone in the secret room watched quietly without saying a word.

After a short while, he seemed to have sorted out his state of mind. He said hoarsely, “My name is Scheer, I’m from Lonan City of the Vanstone Empire. Something had gone wrong earlier during my cultivation and I became delirious. I don’t know what I have done…”

A Mage from the Vanstone Empire?!

Everyone was surprised. Zoro and the others thought that this person was vague and strange. He might be lying.

Ron had examined this person earlier. His eyes flickered and he asked, “Were you once a Divine Mage?”

Scheer was slightly stunned. He was a little surprised that the other party could tell, so he did not hide it. “Yes, I was once at level-6 of the Divine Mage realm. Later on, I was seriously injured, and my cultivation also went wrong, so my level fell.”

Upon hearing his explanation, everyone understood. No wonder his level fluctuated when he fought with Anthony and the other three.

Fortunately, in the battle, he had become exhausted after reaching level-8 of the Great Archmage realm. If he had really erupted to the Divine Mage realm, not to mention the four children, even with the four retainers, it would still be difficult for them to survive. When the time came, the odds would be against them.

Just when everyone was enlightened and glad, Arka suddenly said in surprise, “Vanstone Empire, Lonan City, Scheer, are you the grandmaster of the Poison Sect?!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and they looked at him. Even Scheer was a little surprised. “Kid, do you actually know our Poison Sect?”

The others looked at him questioningly. They clearly did not know.

Upon receiving everyone’s gaze, Arka said matter-of-factly, “There was once a first-rate faction called the Poison Sect in Lonan City of the Vanstone Empire. The Magi in the sect were all poison cultivators.”

“The Poison Sect was founded 1,743 years ago. Its founder was Scheer. It was said that he was born with poison. The Poison Sect was once famous, but after that…”

Arka paused for a moment and looked at Scheer. He hesitated but continued.

“It was said that the Poison Sect had used the poison technique to commit evil and provoked the anger of the people. 178 years ago, the Poison Sect was jointly annihilated by the Blue Feather Sect, the Wanhua Sect, the Dewa family clan in Lonan City, and other righteous factions… It was said that there were more than a few thousand people from the Poison Sect, and not a single one survived. The grandmaster, Scheer, and a level-7 Divine Mage died together…”

After hearing this long speech, everyone fell silent.

Durga could not help but ask curiously, “Brother Arka, how do you know so much?”

Arka looked up at him and said calmly, “If people know little, they have to read more.”

Everyone :”…”

Durga scratched his head and pretended not to hear. He wanted to be spared from reading.

The others were all sweating. Well… they actually did not know either.

Arka had loved to read since he was young. He had almost flipped through all the books in the huge library of the Nicholas family clan. As long as it was a book, it did not matter if it was interesting or not, whether it was an article on popular science, something related to history, old news from the secular world… Anyway, he read all of them like an assiduous sponge.

Everyone looked at Scheer, who had a complex expression on his face. In the end, he said helplessly, “The victors have the final say in history.”

Then, he could not help but mock, “They have committed crimes and are righteous factions. Are they worthy? They slaughtered my entire clan for a treasure… They are indeed righteous!”

Scheer was really the Grandmaster of the Poison Sect!

For the sake of treasures, the various righteous factions had actually plotted against them? And they even distorted the truth later…

Everyone was a little surprised and also a little curious. Such secret news had always been well-hidden. If what Scheer had said was true, then the magical world of Lonan City was too dark.

Ron waved his hand and lowered Scheer from the air to the ground. He retracted the Demon Binding Ropes and handed them to Anthony.

Scheer was surprised to be suddenly released. He looked at the large group of people opposite him and hesitated. “Why are all of you…”

“We don’t have any ill intentions.” Ron chuckled. “Senior, do you want to leave this place first and talk to us in detail later?”

Scheer’s eyes flickered twice, and he nodded in agreement. Then, he cupped his fists at everyone. “Thank you, everyone.”

It was true that he could not figure out what had happened earlier. However, since he had been bound in a secret room when he woke up and they had set up an isolation barrier, a battle should have erupted between him and them. Coupled with that child… In short, the two sides should not have gotten along well.

No matter what, the other party had not killed him on the spot after capturing him. Instead, they had brought him back to save him… He owed them a huge favor.

However, Scheer still did not understand why this group of people treated him with much respect.

… .

An hour later.

After he had showered and washed up, he ate a little and tidied up his appearance. Under the lead of the servants, Scheer came to the conference hall of the Nicholas family to meet Ron and the others again.

Scheer had once been a level-6 Divine Mage. He was already more than 2,000 years old, but he looked like a 70-year-old man. He had a head of silver hair, a slightly yellow face, and was a little thin. However, his eyes were very bright, and they did not match his previous crazy state.

The conference hall was very empty. Apart from Scheer, there were only the family head, Zoro, Ron, Anthony, and Formick. The others had basically gone to do their own things.

Nicholas family, ancestral hall.

Romo listened for two hours and learned about Scheer’s personal experience.

Basically, it was similar to what Arka had described.

Scheer had once been the founder of the Poison Sect. More than 1,700 years ago, he had established the Poison Sect and shaken the magical world of the Vanstone Empire’s Lonan City.

At the peak of their strength, apart from the Grandmaster, they also had four Divine Magi in the sect, and among their members, there were nearly a hundred Great Archmagi. They were so powerful that they were not far from the four large factions of the Sebastian Kingdom.

About 200 years ago, the Poison Sect had accidentally obtained a sacred weapon. The news spread like wildfire, causing their entire clan to be annihilated!

Having something that one could not protect would, in itself, attract fatal danger, like someone possessing a treasure being accused of a crime and a child carrying gold.

When the Nicholas family first rose up, they were also envied by all kinds of people. The reason why these jackals, tigers, and leopards did not hunt them down was entirely because of the powerful combat strength revealed by the Nicholas family time and time again. This was why the wild beasts maintained their human forms.

The Poison Sect, which had also been envied, suffered a tragic outcome. Not to mention the annihilation of their entire sect, they were also labeled as evil cultivators by the villains.

After that, the various “righteous” factions joined forces to exterminate the Poison Sect. At that time, Scheer had indeed wanted to perish together with the enemy, but he was lucky enough to survive. Then, he fled from the endless pursuit, seriously injured. He fled from the Vanstone Empire to the South Sea and around the east into the Lassie Kingdom.

This was where Scheer’s memory recall ended.

After arriving in the Lassie Kingdom, he started to become delirious. He did not know the passage of time and what he wanted to do.

It was likely that from then on, Scheer had been crazy as he was earlier. It was not known how this person had survived for more than a hundred years.

In the conference hall, Scheer looked at Formick and guessed, “…Previously, I must have been asleep in the forest for a long period and woke up by chance. Perhaps I had sensed this child’s poisonous constitution.”

Ron sized up the person opposite him and said slowly, “We are from the Nicholas family. This is the Holy Light City.”

He paused for a moment and asked, “Who are you?”

“The Nicholas family? Holy Light City?”
