Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

However, inside the door, there was no sign of welcoming the guests.

because

The group discovered figures behind the door, all brandishing swords and assuming a fighting stance as if facing a formidable enemy.

Or, to put it more accurately, it was a display of wariness and hostility towards Victoria.

"What... is going on?"

"Is this a unique way the Grey Wolves welcome people?"

The three uncles, who were initially excited, were now so frightened that their legs went weak.

Even Sister Midori, who had previously provoked Bai Ye, hid behind him in fear.

Only Bai Ye and Victorica casually looked at the "gray wolves" in front of them, as if nothing had happened.

"Is this how your Gray Wolf Village treats its guests?"

Bai Ye's words were very forceful.

Sensing the intense malice directed at Victorique from the direction of the castle, Bai Ye would have considered simply wiping out the entire stronghold if it weren't for the girl's desire to clear her mother's name.

However, the Grey Wolves ignored Bai Ye's words and remained solely vigilant towards Victorica.

"Cordelia!"

"Is it Cordelia who's back?"

"No...it should be Cordelia's daughter!"

"But she looks exactly like her mother..."

"That's really bad luck."

Such murmurs could be heard coming from the castle.

Bai Ye glanced at Victorique beside him, who had clenched her teeth after hearing the sound, and frowned deeply.

Just as he was about to make a move, Victorica seemed to have noticed something and reached out to stop him.

"Bai Ye...can you please not intervene this time?"

The girl looked at Bai Ye, her stubborn eyes carrying a hint of pleading. Although she clenched her teeth, her small face was full of determination.

"This is a battle between me and my mother, and I want to personally seek justice for her!"

"Alright, but if they really go too far, I'll still take action!"

Seeing this, Bai Ye loosened his grip on his right hand. The small cross that had just formed in his palm vanished the instant he released his grip.

Victorique responded to White Night with a radiant smile.

Just then, the village chief on the other side came out and shouted.

"Everyone, drop your weapons!"

He was an elderly man, over fifty years old, wearing a formal robe and holding a cane.

His once-golden hair, seemingly weathered by time, had turned white along with his beard. Only his pair of emerald green eyes remained, filled with reason and wisdom, a testament to the old man's identity as a gray wolf.

Seemingly obedient to the old man's commands, the gray wolves all laid down their weapons. Then, they spontaneously formed two lines, making way for the old man.

“She is also a descendant who came after seeing our message, so we cannot drive her away.”

"Let her stay and celebrate the summer festival with us!"

"Even if...her mother Cordelia is a murderer, at least Cordelia's daughter is innocent."

It seemed that the village chief's words had an effect, and the villagers' hostility towards Victorique completely dissipated. However, when they looked at Victorique, their eyes still held a hint of fear.

Meanwhile, Victorique was standing to the side.

Upon hearing the village chief's last words, the girl's pupils inexplicably constricted.

Bai Ye frowned again.

Decision made

After Victorica clears his mother's name, he should level this entire hill before he leaves!

......

The problem of entering the Gray Wolf Village has finally been solved.

With the village elder leading the way, the villagers, who had been afraid of being attacked, breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, I listened to the old man's introduction to his village.

The village chief's name is Sergius.

He told everyone that the village had actually existed for four hundred years, but it had always been cut off from the outside world and lived a self-sufficient life.

Is it a country within a country?

Bai Ye murmured to himself. The old village chief's description reminded him that it was mentioned in the original work that the Gray Wolf Clan seemed to have been established by an ancient kingdom to escape the ravages of war.

In a Europe where even a village chief can call himself king, isn't this Gray Wolf Village operating like a small European country?

"The so-called summer festival is a ceremony to welcome the spirits of ancestors who only return to the village in the summer and to pray to them for a good harvest."

Unaware that Bai Ye had already figured out the village's structure, Sergius was still enthusiastically describing his family's festival to everyone.

"The time will begin at dawn tomorrow morning and continue until the end of the night. I hope you can stay until then before you leave."

"Is there only one day and one night?"

Victorique, standing to the side, certainly sensed the urgency of time.

The three middle-aged men at the back, however, had long since lost their previous fear and were now greedily surveying the retro buildings around them.

"Look, that rose-colored window and spire! It's just like the medieval churches I've seen in frescoes!"

The man named Aaron pointed in another direction and exclaimed in surprise as if he had never seen anything like it before.

"The wells here are amazing, they're like ancient relics!"

The village chief, who was walking in front, glanced at the last three men and waved to the blond youth who had been following him.

Then he raised his shotgun.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He pointed at the sky and fired three shots.

"What...what's going on?"

The sudden gunshot startled everyone behind them. However, the village chief, Sergius, explained quite casually.

"Wild wolves live in the mountains around here. They are very large and dangerous, so when we hear them howling, we have to fire a shot to deter them and warn them not to come near the village!"

The three looked at each other in surprise, and then burst out laughing.

"What wild wolves? Aren't you just gray wolves?"

Upon hearing this, the blond youth who had been following him suddenly showed a look of fear and cautiously looked at the village chief beside him.

However, to the young man's surprise, the village chief did not seem to get angry; he simply frowned and seriously retorted.

"What are you talking about! We are just ordinary human beings, only different from the human race outside."

"Is that so?"

The man blinked after hearing the village chief's words.

Bai Ye simply held Victorique's hand and silently watched the three men's reckless behavior from behind.

The group continued following the village and soon came to see a huge mansion with a gray and white color scheme.

The mansion looked very old, with its brick walls covered in moss and vegetation, making it appear as if it had been abandoned for centuries.

However, after the village chief led everyone to open the door and enter, they discovered that there was actually a hidden world inside.

"This is my mansion!"

Sergius stopped and turned to look at the crowd.

"You can stay here for the time being during the summer festival!"

Inside the house was a stark contrast to the dilapidated exterior, a scene of unparalleled luxury. Ornate chandeliers, deep fur carpets covering the floors, and even the walls were shockingly covered in wallpaper.

A maid wearing a white housekeeper's hat walked towards them, and the moment she appeared, she fixed her gaze on Victorique.

Then he jogged over and carefully examined Victoria's little face.

“She looks exactly like Cordelia.”

The maid stared blankly as she spoke, her pupils constricted as if she were seeing someone she would never see again, her fear tinged with worry.

"what!"

The next moment, the maid was so frightened that she grabbed her cheek with both hands and took two steps back in terror. Her doll-like, delicate face looked broken, and her words were tinged with madness.

"Back then... I was just a little kid, but I remember it very clearly!"

"Cordelia, you sinner! She has brought this house and this village an immeasurable and indelible calamity!"

Upon hearing this, Victorique's pupils constricted again. This was the second time today that the girl had heard her mother being called a sinner.

This time, however, the girl was not saddened by hearing that her mother was disliked by people.

Rather, it was because the maid's actions seemed too exaggerated and deliberate.

"This actor's acting skills are truly top-notch!"

The words that Bai Ye deliberately read aloud seemed to be meant to help Victorique verify something.

This disrupted the atmosphere of terror that the maid had deliberately created, causing the maid who had been pretending to be afraid to tremble slightly, her pupils contracting as if they were those of Victorique.

"He Manni!"

Only then did the village chief behind them speak sternly, reprimanding the maid for her rudeness.

As if she had gained some kind of excuse, He Manni, who almost lost her temper upon hearing Bai Ye's words, quickly apologized to the village chief.

"excuse me!"

After bowing in apology, he immediately jogged away from the spot.

"That woman...is suspicious!"

This was the only thought that came to Victorique's mind when she saw He Manni running away in a panic and with a look of anxiety.

There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 48 I'll kill you after my wife finishes her deduction (Part 2)

"Excuse me, guests, it was our maid who was rude just now!"

Only then did the village chief turn around and apologize to everyone.

However, Bai Ye was not buying it this time, as the old man's apologetic tone carried a hint of arrogance.

"Your maid seems to have something wrong with her head!"

Narrowing his eyes, Bai Ye looked at the old man in front of him with some anticipation, wondering how the old man would respond to his provocative tone.

"Um..."

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye showed him no respect, and Sergius's sharp gaze met Bai Ye's.

Although he was already an old man with a white beard, Sergius was, after all, a member of the same gray wolf clan as Victorique, and even in his old age, he still habitually used wisdom to think about problems.

Although Sergius maintained an arrogant demeanor, he had actually been observing the six White Nights ever since they arrived.

The trio of middle-aged men seemed to be there for an adventure, but in reality, they were completely inexperienced. They were also cowardly and timid; they were terrified the moment they fired a gun—just three clowns.

The nun was barely noticeable throughout, as if her purpose in coming here was not to participate in the celebration at all.

Cordelia's daughter seems to want to find out about her mother's crimes, but there's nothing to worry about.

Throughout the entire process, only this young man named Bai Ye exuded unparalleled confidence and leisure from the moment he stepped into the castle.

It was as if nothing could frighten him; even seeing himself fire a warning shot did not shake the boy's emotions for a moment.

Just like the weapon in one's hand that can hunt wolves is just a toy in the eyes of the other party.
