our family is gone

Chapter 341 Counting the Harvest, Family Legacy

Lance said it in a high-sounding way. In fact, it is impossible to tell Grindale that he promotes sanitation construction and invests in bathhouses because he cannot accept the feces and urine flowing on the streets. .

Letting him stay in this kind of place is really giving him no throne, pure torture.

Fortunately, it has been improved now, and it is getting better step by step. Civilization must be brought to this world.

"One more thing, the white wolf is missing."

Grindel's words drew Lance's attention back, and he couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"What exactly is going on?"

"The last witness saw it run out of town into the wilderness shortly after you left, and it was never seen again."

While speaking, Grindel looked at Lance's dignified expression and couldn't help but add something.

"Do you want to send someone to look for it?"

"No, let me continue. When you encounter a white wolf, you must be more vigilant. Once you attack, you are allowed to counterattack by any means."

Lance did not forget that the last time he left Hamlet for Totnes, Wangcai killed the she-wolf and other wolf cubs.

This time I didn't take it out and ran away, who knows if it triggered some killing instinct again and turned into a mad dog?
Without him, other people might not be able to calm that guy. If it attacks ordinary people, those soldiers are likely to hesitate because of his lord, and it will be troublesome if there are casualties.

He likes Wangcai quite a bit, but it has to be made clear that once it attacks allies, it is a crazy wolf.

Lance mentioned before that the source of Wangcai was the spoils he got from killing the wolf, but he didn't say anything more in detail.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lance also told Greendale about the situation of Wangcai in detail.

Who knew that Greendale could not help but exclaim when she heard it, and her reaction was a bit too strong.

"That is to say, it has already undergone the bloodline promotion ceremony, and it is still actively awakening the bloodline!"

"What's the matter?" Lance also read the scroll left by the wolf, and he only understood the process of the ceremony, but he didn't understand why the ceremony was performed, and he didn't know its effect.

But you have to know that the Lushou tribe has made friends with the tribes in the entire mountains. As the reserve priest of the Lushou tribe, other people don't know, so can she still not know?
Immediately, he remembered the situation of the Wolf Fang Tribe, and then he talked about those bloodline promotion ceremonies and various related things.

"You are wrong. The full moon may be a condition that stimulates the awakening of its blood, but it is definitely not the core. As far as I know, not all white wolves can awaken on their own without external intervention.

Most of the white wolves of the Langya tribe were artificially interfered to allow them to devour each other in order to purify their blood and finally awaken. Only white wolves with the potential to become wolf kings can awaken on their own without intervention because their blood is concentrated enough. "

"You mean that Wangcai is special?"

"It's very special. There may be thousands of white wolves in the entire tribe, but there is only one wolf king, and it is absolutely impossible for it to flow out.

I'm afraid that your bloodline has mutated or returned to its ancestors for some reason, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to awaken by itself. "

Lance didn't know what to say when he heard this. He couldn't say that he gave them [Blessing] to strengthen, and then the whole litter woke up, and Wangcai was just the final winner.

Lance felt that Grindale might not believe it.

But Grindel didn't pay attention to Lance's reaction at all, but thought about Wangcai's behavior along this line of thought.

"These white wolves have the blood of the wolf god. I think it may be because it left suddenly and ran back to the mountains, or... there is something attracting it nearby."

Greendale looked solemn, she thought of that possibility, but still hesitated.

She worried that saying that would make Lance feel like he was provoking, pushing him.

Lance is not stupid, of course he understands the hint hidden in her words.

Isn't the "Wolf God" of the Wolf Fang tribe the only one who can attract the blood of the wolf god?

"I understand. I ordered to step up patrols recently, so everyone should be more careful."

After all, Lance was tired. With his trait of "cleanliness", it was impossible for him to lie on the ground of the beast den, so he was basically the one who kept watch at night to prevent night attacks. Even if he was resting, he just sat down and squinted for a while.

Now I don't have the energy to immediately investigate Wangcai's disappearance, so I can only put it on hold until I recover a bit.

"I happened to go with me to a nursing home. We found a lot of monsters in the beast den this time."

Lance did not stop his busy pace, but brought Grindel to the nursing home.

Everyone in the town knew that the nursing home was not a good place, because people who went into the nursing home basically couldn't get out.

I also know that this doctor is not easy to mess with, and I can understand it from the screams that come from the nursing home from time to time.

Paracelsus is still busy doing research, if there is nothing to disturb her, it may cause trouble.

Even Lance had brought enough "gifts" before he dared to interrupt her research.

When the corpses of the Pig Slayer, Pig Hooker, Pig Cripple, Pig Drummer, and Scavenger Devourer were laid out neatly, Paracelsus was as excited as a child who found a new toy , quickly put down the work in hand and check forward.

"The corpses are all intact, and most of them were pierced through the heart with a sword. It was this deformed dwarf who was blown to pieces, but the preservation is still good."

Paracelsus inspected the corpses, most of them were undoubtedly obtained by Lance on purpose, and the purpose of killing them with a sword was to preserve the corpses, only the crippled pig man was killed by Disma.

It's just that Paracelsus doesn't care about this at all, but has already started to do it.

"Is it a fusion of pigs and humans? This kind of transformation technology... this kind of structure... this kind of..."

Seeing her devotion, Lance had to smile helplessly. This is a researcher, and once he meets someone who is interested, he will not care about other things.

He has been right about these pigmen for a few days, and now he feels sick to his stomach when he sees them, and he doesn't bother to look here, but Grindel seems quite interested, after all, this is a novelty.

Turning to look at Greendale and nodding, he left the nursing home.

With these corpses for her to study, those "guinea pigs" in the nursing home are estimated to be able to live in peace for a few days.

After returning, Lance finally had time to count the gains of this trip.

All kinds of things that are not of much value and can only be regarded as scrap iron have long been excluded by him.

It can be said that the pig man is really a poor ghost. If he went in and picked up a corpse in the middle, I am afraid that he would not get any money at all.

The gold coins had already been distributed, but those crystal agates went into his pocket.

After in-depth communication with Tamara, Lance actually understood that the real use of these things is not a luxury, but a ritual material, which will be used in many rituals, and this is the real value.

Things can be handed over to Amanda through the channels of the Roma, or they can be sold in Totnes through their own channels. Anyway, it is very easy to exchange, but there is no shortage of money now, so resources should be left first.

In addition, only those things found in the secret room behind the secret door have certain value.

Before time was short and he didn't bother to check carefully, Lance took out those scattered scrolls to check again.

The writing paper is not made of leather, but some relatively simple papyrus. The writing on it is messy, and it may take a lot of time to distinguish it.

At the same time, the content is also very scattered, some are text, and some are pictures. Lance even found a lot of simple maps in it, which are obviously the topography of the beast den. Unfortunately, there are only a small part of it, and it is difficult to see the whole picture.

But the value of these scrolls is self-evident, and it is definitely related to the Ascension Sect's actions in the beast den.

As for those books, Lance flipped through them casually, and he could only say that there are interesting things even in the garbage. Some mystical knowledge that is difficult to distinguish between true and false is described in the books, as well as various messy rituals. Corresponding to those scrolls?
Lance didn't struggle with it either. He was just going through a rough review now, and then he will study it slowly when the time comes.

Until the moment he took a copy, he felt something was wrong, and a look of disgust appeared on his face just by simply flipping through it.

This is a book of Ascension Sect's teachings, mentally retarded and ignorant, with no logic at all.

But this didn't attract Lance's attention at all. What really made him react was that he could feel that these things seemed to be contaminated with some kind of supernatural power.

Without thinking about it, you can probably guess that being held and chanted by those fanatical believers every day is just like the torch in Junia's hand. As long as it takes a long time, it will definitely be contaminated with some extraordinary power.

If ordinary people touch these books, the power above may erode his will.

Outflow these to screen potential believers?The naked power worship and flesh and blood power and ascension concept above can indeed attract some specific groups, not to mention the weird power left on it.

So never stay!
Lance got up and lit a fire in the water boiler, and threw it into the fire.

It's just that he didn't expect that Lance could vaguely hear a void wailing under the engulfment of the flames. When he looked back, a cloud of black mist rose above the book and hit him.

Lance could clearly feel that this power was no less than that of the cult witch's dying eruption, and the malice contained in it was even stronger.

The black mist contains the remnant thoughts of a fanatic believer. If ordinary people are tricked, they may be tortured by the vicious power and have a mental breakdown.

Now Lance understands why Tamara is always so wary of items in the extraordinary world, especially books and other carriers, which are directly presupposed as a trap.

It's just that this thing is a joke to Lance.

"Hmph!" Lance turned his head back, not caring about the black mist that swept over him at all.

Without even waiting for him to make a move, feeling strong malice, the wolf spirit that had been silent on him for a long time broke away, opened its mouth wide and began to bite the black mist.

How could a wave of remnants be the opponent of the wolf spirit? It was torn apart and swallowed in a few strokes, and completely dissipated in the air.

And Lance also returned to his seat, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the battle situation during the period, only the wolf spirit returned silently.

But these were just appetizers, and the only thing that really caught Lance's attention was the quaint box.

The thing was taken out of the showroom, and Lance studied it carefully. The main body was made of hard wood, painted with a layer of maroon lacquer, the corners and gaps were covered with brass, and exquisite pattern.

No need to think about it, you know that this kind of box must have nothing to do with ordinary people, and it must be used by someone with a certain status.

And appearing here, there is no doubt that it can only flow from the Hamlet family.

It's not that Lance randomly guessed that "this thing is related to me", because it bears the imprint of the family.

It's locked, but it's not a problem for Lance, he opened it in a few strokes with the lockpicking skill he learned from Disma.

Soon Lance understood why the box was so heavy, because it was filled with gold coins and some crystal gems.

Lance picked up one and played with it in his hand, but when he noticed something strange, a smile appeared on his face.

It's not that he hasn't seen gold coins before, but they were all made in the imperial style, and the style of this gold coin is obviously different now, and it has the style of Hamlet.

Needless to say, it is probably the gold coin minted by Hamlet himself in his heyday.

Although the value of gold coins lies in the gold itself, it is not difficult to circulate between different gold coins, but the symbolic meaning is obvious.

There is actually the right to mint coins, which definitely touches the foundation of the empire's rule. One can imagine how arrogant Hamlet was back then.

But that's not why Lance was happy, he was laughing because these family inheritances finally fell into his hands.

Lance inserted his hand into those gold coins and grabbed a handful, then let go, watching the gleaming gold coins slip from his fingers, and then made a crisp and pleasant collision sound, like the sound of heaven.

"Hahaha, the old thing has finally burst into gold coins!"

It was only more than 1000 gold coins, and Lance soon lost interest, because after he pacified Hamlet, he would definitely have to re-mint coins, and these things could no longer be circulated.

As Hamlet's heir, Lance wants to erase the traces of Hamlet's family in any way.

After emptying out all the gold coins inside, facing an empty box, Lance was extremely serious.

Because in the game, the treasure chests left by this family usually have interlayer hidden compartments, and they will also have traps.

This kind of thing can only scare the unsuspecting people. As long as you are prepared, it is not difficult to dismantle the mechanism.

Soon a small box was pulled out, and the ingenious little mechanism was connected together.

There is a strange powder in the box, and once it is opened forcibly, the mechanism will be triggered to spray out the poisonous powder.

And now it was finally possible to open the interlayer, but the contents inside surprised Lance a little.

The first thing that catches the eye is a painting, which is clearly a portrait of a stranger, but it gives people a sense of familiarity.

Lance picked up the portrait and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't feel any strange and extraordinary power on it. It looked like an old painting with traces of history.

Although I don't know why this portrait appeared here, I finally resisted the urge to throw it into the fire.
