Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Novel - Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Finding the Clansmen

“Barry, Adam, why are you all here?” Karl shouted at the people in the house. Everything that had just happened had surprised Karl.

He really could not understand why the old uncle could still sense this group of people on the mountain despite being so far away. Could it be that he had supernatural eyes and ears?

Herbert was in the house, excitedly hugging Norton and talking about some things from their childhood. He could hear Karl’s confusion and felt a little dazed.

Norton patted Karl on the shoulder in approval and glanced at Charles. Charles immediately understood and quickly said, “Karl, thank you very much for leading the way for us. There’s nothing more for you to do. You can go back and report to your boss.”

As he spoke, Charles took out a bag which contained a lot of money and handed it to Karl. After Karl took the bag, he did not think about anything else. “Thank you, thank you. I’ll be leaving now. Come and find me if there’s anything.”

Looking at Karl’s receding back view, Herbert sighed and said, “I have actually stumbled upon you guys. In the beginning, I thought it was a smokescreen scattered by our enemy.”

When Norton heard this, he could roughly guess what was going on. However, he also felt a lot more sorrowful. “Brother, let’s go back to the village first. We’ll talk later.”

Herbert quickly agreed. After all, the size of the wooden house was too small. In the wooden house, apart from Herbert and the others, there were ten others. They were all from the Nicholas family. It appeared very crowded with the few of them standing here.

Immediately, the group returned to the village. Along the journey back, Norton was very happy. He had found so many people all of a sudden. The Old Ancestor would definitely be very happy.

As expected, Romo was also very surprised when he saw their progress through the Visitation Talisman. He did not expect to find them so smoothly.

Norton and Herbert had been discussing the recent developments in the Nicholas family and many other topics on the way back to the village. They discussed this for a long time.

Norton had also learned from the conversation what had happened to Herbert in the past 50 years since he left the Nicholas family.

Fifty years ago, during the process of the family clan’s relocation, bandits had suddenly attacked them midway. This caused Herbert and the others to be separated from the family clan. At the same time, they were pursued by bandits. They had no choice but to flee for a day and a night. Eventually, they were able to shake off those bandits, but they discovered they had lost their way.

Worried that they would run into the bandits again, they had no choice but to flee from the pursuit while searching for the route they had come from. In the end, they actually came to this remote small village.

Coincidentally, Herbert’s father had been seriously injured at that time, so the few of them had decided to stay in this small village for a while.

However, after a period of time, Herbert’s father still had not fully recovered from his injuries. At the same time, there seemed to be pursuers and bandits outside looking for the Nicholas family.

Fortunately, the villagers here were relatively friendly. They would cover for their family. As such, they were lucky enough to survive.

Later on, Herbert discovered that the situation then was really too dangerous. It was really not suitable for him to go out and search for his family clan. He had no choice but to change his surname and live here.

The Herbert family had never revealed their cultivation identities here. At the same time, they had changed their surname to Jones.

Unfortunately, Herbert’s father passed away because of his serious injuries, leaving only Herbert,who was 16 years old at that time, and his mother. At the same time, there was also a 16th generation descendant of the Nicholas family, Bori.

As such, the three of them gradually integrated into the village and lived here. As the village was too remote, and information was very scarce, there was no way to obtain any information. Coupled with the pursuit by his enemies, Herbert gradually abandoned the thought of returning to his family.

It was not a bad choice to stay here peacefully. Hence, Herbert got married here and had children. Now, he already had grandchildren.

Although the Nicholas family clan had become famous because of their feud with the four large family clans, this small village, which had no access to information, still did not know anything

Herbert did not even know that the Nicholas family had already moved to Winterfrost. After all, moving to Winterfrost had been a last-minute decision made enroute.

Herbert had long determined that he would spend the rest of his life in this small village. Unexpectedly, some time ago, Karl suddenly came to ask if they were from the Nicholas family clan and said that the Nicholas family was looking for them.

When Herbert heard the news, he could not believe it. The village was so remote. How could the Nicholas family have come knocking on his door? The only possibility was that their enemy was coming. So Herbert quickly denied it.

Moreover, when Norton came over, he was discovered by the villagers, so Herbert and the others ran here at the last minute to hide.

Norton had not expected the Herbert family to go through so much in fifty years. However, from what Herbert had told him, what Norton did not understand was that the bandits, who had been pursuing them relentlessly, did not seem to be ordinary bandits at all.

In fact, the Nicholas family had already guessed this. Those might be the assassins hired by the four large family clans. After they had settled down in Winterfrost, the Nicholas family clan had investigated this matter, but they did not have any leads, so they dropped the matter. Norton also told Herbert about the situation of the Nicholas family for the past 50 years. He emphasized that the Nicholas family clan was no longer the same as before.

When Herbert learned that the Nicholas family was already so powerful, he was also very happy for the family.

However, Norton had not mentioned anything about the Old Ancestor, so in Herbert’s opinion, the rise of the Nicholas family clan was simply unbelievable.

“Alright, Brother, I’ve said what needs to be said. We’re here to fetch you home today,” Norton said quickly. When Herbert heard this, he was very excited. “Alright, let’s go home!”

“You guys quickly pack up. We’ll be home in a while,” said Herbert to his grandchildren behind him.

His other children, nieces, and grandchildren, and so on, had listened to the conversation between the two of them, and they were simply baffled. However, they had understood that they would be returning to their original family clan.

The few of them quickly went back to pack up. They then left the small village together. Apart from Herbert, the clansmen that had been found this time included his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. There were also his nephew, Bori, and his wife, and their children. There were a total of 11 people.
