Fan En was drawn by Katya's shout, turned around and saw her rushing over anxiously. He said:

"Lord Vann, my father says Lauda is long dead!"

"What?!!"

This time it was Vann's turn to be startled. His eyes widened, he grabbed Katya's shoulder, and asked:

"Is Dad sure?"

Katya nodded:

"It's confirmed, the uncles nearby all saw it! Lauda was reinforcing the gate when that werewolf ripped out his heart with a single claw and killed him!"

"Hmph! In that case, there's no need for verification at all; it's definitely that group!"

Sir Francis, standing beside the two, gave a cold snort, made his judgment, and asked:

"Tell me about your meeting with 'Lauda'."

Vann looked at Sir Francis, shook his head slightly, and said:

"The process is no longer important. The key is that the fake 'Lauda' was so well disguised that even my hunter's vision couldn't detect anything."

This person deliberately waited for me on the road; what exactly does he want to do?

Sir Francis gasped, his brow furrowing deeper as he stroked his chin in thought.

Vann sighed and looked at Katya:

"We talked about the underground cemetery in Tianjing Village while we were in the car, but what did you and the fake Lauda talk about in the local dialect before that?"

Upon hearing this question, Sir Francis immediately realized what was going on and frowned as he looked in the direction of Sweet Well Village.

Seeing the two people's reactions, Katya realized that something was definitely wrong with Sweet Well Village, so she hurriedly began to recall:

"I asked him for the names of those people one by one according to your questions, and he told me all of them, so... that's how I calculated the number of people."

Lauda… Bah! He did ask me where everyone in the village was, and when you mentioned the old silver-blooded lamp and the Lu Ting massacre, you mentioned the ancestral tombs…”

"what!"

Katya clapped her hands, then her face turned deathly pale:

"That person...that person asked me where the remaining people in the village were, and I said they were in the secret chamber of the underground tomb!"

"What?!"

"What else did you say?!"

Sir Francis turned to look at Katya and immediately roared, startling Katya into shrinking back.

Vann pressed Katya's shoulder and glanced at Frans, signaling him to be quiet.

Then he gently continued to ask:

"Katya, did you tell that person how you got into the secret passage?"

Katya said with trembling lips:

"I don't know any directions. I just followed Grandpa Tangji and you. So when that person asked me, I only told him where the entrance was, and I couldn't explain the rest."

He...he asked several more times, but it was extremely dark down there, and I couldn't tell which way was which at all. Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, he stopped asking.

"call!"

Sir Francis breathed a sigh of relief, then his brow furrowed even more, thinking to himself:

"Could it be because of Master Maria... those guys deserve to die!"

He turned to look at Van En, his eyes filled with even more admiration. Van En's earlier question clearly indicated that he had guessed this possibility.

Vann's expression became urgent, and he said to France:

"Sir, it seems I need to hurry back to Sweet Well Village. The matter we just agreed on will have to wait."

Sir Francis nodded and smiled:

"Actually, this is all part of the same thing. I brought some people with you..." Frans stopped mid-sentence, noticing the villagers emerging from the storeroom, and sighed.

"Hey! I'll send two soldiers back with you, and that one too... um..."

As he spoke, Frans looked at the person hidden beneath the pale white hooded robe and tentatively asked:

"Would you like to come along? The troupe is planning something big; they must have a grand vision."

A clear, girlish voice rang out:

"I came to Put Town to track down the theater troupe. I'll go to Sweet Well Village with the hunter. You'll need to clean up the remaining wild beasts in the castle. We'll deal with the mine matters after we return."

"Yes."

"Furthermore, once you're done, immediately take my carriage and the people to Sweet Well Village. That place is probably already destroyed. These people will all be settled in Put Town later. Before things are finished, let them stay with you."

The girl in the hooded robe was clearly giving orders to Frans.

The lord remained humble, repeatedly agreeing without uttering a single word of rebuttal.

He turned to look at Van En, a calm smile on his face:

"That's settled then. With the judge... um... that sir with you, those theater troupe scum shouldn't be worth mentioning."

Fan En looked at the short 'girl' wearing a light-colored hooded robe with a curious gaze and nodded.

"Katya!"

"Little Ni!"

An elderly voice rang out; it was Katya's parents. They hugged Katya, their faces full of smiles.

Behind Katya's parents followed a sturdy young boy who was looking at Vann with awe.

Fan En smiled at the boy, because he noticed that the boy's eyes were full of admiration and longing when he looked at him.

Vann wasn't surprised that this family was also a descendant of the original hunter Maria.

"Of course I'm going! Lord Vann's nun is gone, I have to help him! We are descendants of Maria Renster, how can we back down!"

Katya suddenly got into an argument with her parents, and when Vann saw that the two elders had noticed him looking over, his expression was both anxious and ashamed.

At that moment, Katya's brother suddenly clenched his fist and waved it, shouting:

"I support my sister! Lenster will never back down!"

"Linster will never back down! Linster will never back down!! Linster will never back down!!!"

The remaining descendants of Maria among the villagers of Sweet Well Village also joined in, raising their fists and shouting.

These people all had tears in their eyes, even though this disaster had cost them many loved ones and their homes.

But as descendants of the original hunter Maria, they did not admit defeat!

Katya's parents' expressions changed. Her mother released Katya's arm and looked down at her feet.

Katya's father looked at Vann with pleading eyes:

"Hunter... Lord Hunter, please take good care of her. This girl is a bit slow-witted. If she does something wrong, scold her severely! If that doesn't work, you can spank her!"

"Dad!" Katya blushed, covered her bottom and stomped her feet, looking at Van En with shy eyes.

"Haha!" Her good younger brother, the burly boy, burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"Definitely!" Vann nodded with a smile, glanced at Katya who was pulling her braids, and said gently:

"Actually, Katya has been taking care of me all along. She will definitely become a very good nun and live up to the glory of Madam Maria."

"hehe!"

Katya immediately put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and gestured that she was very powerful.

At this moment, the 'important' young woman had already walked up to Vann with two soldiers and began to speak with him:

"It's time to go. Although the secret passage in Sweet Well Village is cleverly designed, the troupe members can find it with a little time."

"good!"

Where is your carriage?

"Outside the garden, that fake Lauda led us in from there."

"Great, we can see who did this good deed while we're on the way."

The girl ended the conversation, uttered a few words that Van En didn't quite understand, and then led the soldiers down the path.

Vannen waited a few minutes, letting Katya say goodbye to her parents and relatives, and then he collected the blood essence of the werewolf before setting off.

They moved quickly because if they were late, the remaining women and children in Tianjing Village might suffer serious consequences.
