Seeing Aaron’s expression change from that of suspicion to calm to excitement and then to calm again, Norton waited for him to calm down before he continued to ask questions. Norton had wanted to learn more clues about the Nicholas family from Aaron. Aaron might be able to help him find more
members of the Nicholas family.

“Do you have any distant relatives? Or do you know how you ended up here?” Norton continued to ask for more clues.
However, Aaron did not have many clues himself. He only knew that for some reason, the ancestors had ended up in this place. He could not even remember the names of the ancestors.

However, as Aaron recalled some of his memories, he told Norton and the rest that their family had not lived here previously but in a minority tribe deep in the mountains. However, a strange disease suddenly broke out in that tribe, and people kept dying. Moreover, the disease was extremely infectious,
so they had no choice but to move here.

However, luck did not favor them. In the process of moving, they actually encountered a group of bandits who had robbed them. After they plundered them of the money they had, they even cruelly killed their family, including the old man’s wife, and Lily’s parents.
Only Aaron managed to flee with Lily. They survived only after they managed to escape from the bandits. The whole journey had been extremely arduous before they finally arrived at this place and settled down here.

Aaron was the only person in his generation, but his father had many siblings in his generation. Back then, there were at least a hundred people in the entire family, but almost all of them had lost their lives under the knives of the bandits.

Even if they had been lucky enough to escape, they had also got separated from Aaron and the rest. There had not been any contact at all. From Aaron’s understanding, there was no one from the Nicholas family clan in this small town they were presently in.

Aaron suddenly recalled from his memory that he had met a relative half a year ago from a previous village. The other party seemed to have said that they were living in Robert Town, which was more than a hundred kilometers away. He wondered if anyone still lived there.

This was all that Aaron could remember. Their family had experienced too many life and death situations. Now, Aaron was just glad that Lily could survive.

After listening to Aaron’s recollection, Norton and Zoro looked at each other. They could see the endless joy in each other’s eyes, and they could not wait to get to Robert Town immediately.

They also concurrently felt some pity. They had not expected their own clansmen to have been so tragically harmed. Poor Lily had lost her parents at such a young age and could only depend on her grandfather for survival.

However, more clansmen might be found in the Robert Town which Aaron had mentioned, and some more in that minority tribe too.

The Old Ancestor had given the order to find more clansmen, so Norton could not let go of any clues.

Currently, only five days of the 15-day deadline had elapsed. Even if they factored in another five days as the time required for them to return, they still had five days left. They could search for more clansmen.

“Can you take us to that tribe previously to take a look? We would like to see if there would be more clansmen there.” Aaron hesitated for a moment when he heard this request. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes, but he looked at everyone’s expectant expressions and reluctantly agreed.
“L.. Ican bring you guys there.” The old man’s voice became softer.

Norton and the others could tell that the old man was very reluctant. After all, Aaron had lived at the bottom of his life for a long time and was already used to not daring to refuse. He could only agree with others.

However, Lily was unhappy. “Grandpa is already so old, and his health is not good. It is a long walk up the mountain. Grandpa can’t go.”

After all, Lily clearly remembered that back then, in order to escape from the pursuit of the bandits, Aaron had carried Lily and rolled down a cliff to shake off the bandits. Aaron had also fractured a leg because of this incident. With the delay and the lack of medical help, it was still difficult for Aaron to
move about now.

“I’s okay, I can do it.” Afraid that Lily’s words would make Norton and the others unhappy, Aaron quickly stopped her.
Zoro understood their difficulties. “It’s okay, Grandpa. You can just show us the way. I can carry you.”

However, Lily remained very determined. “Can you not torture my grandfather? He’s not in good health to begin with. How about this, I’l bring you there. I know the way too, so let Grandpa stay at home.”

Upon hearing Lily’s words, they all looked at her in disbelief. “You know the way? Really? You should have been very young then, and you actually still remember?”

At this point, Lily suddenly raised her chin and said proudly, “Yes, I could remember the way since I was three years old. I have a good memory.”

“Really? You wouldn’t let us all get lost, would you?” The few of them still could not believe that the little child in front of them had such a good memory.

“That’s true. Lily has had this photographic memory since she was young. Her memory is very good,” Aaron said.

Although such a skill was not a special skill in the eyes of those who cultivated magical power, for someone like Lily, who had never come into contact with magical power, to have such an ability meant that her aptitude must be very high.

“But I think I’d better take you there.” Aaron was still worried about leaving Lily alone to walk the mountain path with a group of people he had only known for a few hours.

However, Lily was also worried about Aaron. “Grandpa is already so old. He might remember wrongly. I definitely won’t.”

Aaron did not know what to say for a moment, so he looked at Lily with a bitter smile.

Speaking of which, Aaron’s current memory had not been as good as before. He might really remember the wrong path.

Seeing that both of them were in a deadlock, Norton came up with a good idea. “How about this? We’ll split up into two groups. One group will follow Lily to the tribe to find people, and the other will follow Aaron to Robert Town to find people.”
This would save time, and everyone would have something to do.

But Aaron suddenly became excited. “Tl take you to the tribe. Lily will take you to Robert Town. She knows the way too.”

Aaron’s reaction was within Norton’s expectations. He smiled and said, “Are you afraid of running into bandits again on the way?”

Once Norton spoke, Aaron and Lily’s thoughts seemed to have been seen through. Their expressions suddenly changed, afraid that the other party would be angry.

“Just treat us like family. As for the bandits, we can deal with them.” In order to reassure Aaron, Norton even showed him a bit of magical power.

“Actually, our family clan all cultivates magical power. We’re a magical family clan. We’re not afraid of those puny bandits at all..”
