Chapter 177 Lost Clansmen
Romo had not expected there to really be clues. He was very surprised. If he could find another batch of descendants and expand the strength of the family, he would have more Faith Points in the future.
However, this news had not been confirmed. After a discussion with a few family members, they decided to let Norton and Charles check out the situation.
Their destination was north of Winterfrost, not far away. It was a day’s journey.
It was already evening when Norton received the news. The two of them decided to set off the next morning.
However, Romo was disappointed that after the news had appeared, the System did not generate a new clansmen search mission. Perhaps, a new clansmen search mission could only be generated when the Lost Descendant Search Talisman was used, or perhaps the information was fundamentally false.
If this information was false, then wouldn’t everyone in the family be happy for nothing? Thinking about it, it might be a complete conspiracy.
Just in case, Romo had given Norton a dream the night before and asked him to bring Karuman along when he was leaving.
Norton would naturally obey the Old Ancestor’s decision fully. The next morning, he called Karuman over, and the latter also obeyed his master’s instructions completely.
Moreover, he had nothing to do. It was just fetching someone, nothing difficult.
After some preparations, Norton, Charles, and Karuman set off.
After they had left Winterfrost, the three of them hurried on their journey and arrived at their destination in just a day. This was a place called Wode City. There were no people with magical powers in the city, and they were all ordinary citizens.
By the time the three of them reached Wode City, someone had already been waiting here for a long time. This person was a businessman from Wode City, one of the distributors of the Nicholas family’s soap business. The Nicholas family had spread the news through people related to their family businesses. They had wanted to get more leads through more people. However, they did not expect to really get some leads.
This businessman was somewhat famous locally. According to him, a subordinate of his had provided a lead. He said that there were two families in a village outside Wode City who might be from the Nicholas family.
Regarding this kind of news, one would rather believe it to be true than not. Moreover, what the businessman had said was only a possibility and not completely confirmed. To know if it was true or false, a few people would have to go and take a look personally.
Then, Norton followed that subordinate to a small village outside Wode City, Talin Village.
This subordinate’s name was Karl. On the way, Karl said that a few foreigners had come to this village 50 years ago. He had heard that they had fled here after being pursued by bandits, and then they settled down in Talin Village.
However, those people’s surname was not Nicholas, but Jones. Previously, they were neighbors with this subordinate and they had been very familiar with each other since they were young. A neighbor with the surname Jones had often guided him in his martial arts. It was because of this that he was able to become the merchant’s subordinate.
Coincidentally, the merchant was in contact with the Nicholas family through the soap business a while ago and had also learned that the Nicholas family was searching for the missing clansmen. The merchant did not care much and only passed the news to his subordinates.
When Karl heard this, he immediately thought of the group of people with the surname Jones. He found them very suspicious. Although their surname was not Nicholas, Karl still went to investigate. He increasingly felt that they were from the Nicholas family.
However, when Karl went to ask, the family members all denied it. This also made Karl feel very strange, so he told the merchant. The merchant naturally informed the Nicholas family.
Norton had already seen this news when he was in the Nicholas family. From the looks of it, it was likely someone from the Nicholas family.
The few of them arrived at Talin Village and were led by Karl to a small house. “This is the place.” Karl pointed at the small house and said, “Why is there no one here?”
The door to the house Karl was pointing at was tightly closed. It looked like there was no one in the house.
“Uncle, Big Brother, are you guys at home? Is there anyone at home?” Karl shouted a few times into the house, but still, no one responded.
“That’s impossible. It’s impossible for there to be no one in the house. This is too strange,” said Karl, puzzled. “I’m sorry, I’ll go to another house later to ask. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for there to be no one.”
Karuman, who had been silent, suddenly said, “There’s no need. They are not in this village at all.”
When he said this, whether it was Karl, Charles, or Norton, they all looked at Karuman strangely. “Everyone is on the mountain.” Karuman pointed to the mountain behind and smiled.
The few of them quickly ran up the mountain and they actually found a small wooden house at the top of the mountain. Karl said that usually, this wooden house was a temporary resting place for hunters from the village.
Karl was baffled by what Karuman had said. He did not understand that humans could sense such things. Norton and Charles naturally believed Karuman’s intuition.
They had just reached the door when they heard a swoosh. An iron fork had actually appeared. Norton seemed to have known all this would happen. He calmly took the fork and opened the door at the same time.
Immediately after, a very tall figure charged at Norton. Norton was very surprised to see this move because it was one of the techniques of the Nicholas family clan.
However, according to Norton’s senses, the other party was only at level-3 of the Physical Body Realm and could not perform this move completely. Therefore, Norton blocked it with a casual wave of his hand, and the other party fell to the ground.
Then, Norton swept his gaze across the entire house. When he saw someone, his gaze became filled with surprise. “Brother Herbert! Is that you? Brother Herbert, it’s Norton.”
The old man, who was almost 60 years old, was also very surprised to see Norton. “Norton, is this you, Norton?” “It’s me. I’m Norton. I’m Norton, Brother Herbert.”
Although more than 50 years had passed, Norton could still recognize at a glance that this was his older brother, who had often played with him when he was young. His name was Herbert.
The few of them chatted briefly about their childhood and it was confirmed that the other party was from the Nicholas family. Their conversation surprised everyone, and Charles was also very surprised. This meant that the family was really from the Nicholas family.
They had not expected the information to be so accurate. The three of them had found their lost family member so smoothly. Everything had gone smoothly beyond everyone’s imagination.
