our family is gone

Chapter 384 Tom and Mary

Both of them are very common names in rural areas, and they don't have surnames.

It seems that they were born as ordinary people in the countryside, and there is no plot of extraordinary bloodlines falling into trouble.

But it's hard to tell, no one knows who it is several generations ago.

What's more, do princes and generals have kindness?
It's not a strange thing for ordinary people to awaken extraordinary people.

"My lord, hello..." Mary finally realized the identity of the man in front of her after her brother was treated.

"You still know me? That's amazing!" Mary's voice drew Lance's attention back, and she pretended to be pleasantly surprised to echo her words to show her encouragement.

"I... have seen the lord before..."

"You don't need to call me Sir, just call me Brother Lance." A gentle smile appeared on Lance's face.

It's just that Mary didn't cling to her, and she seemed a little timid, and there was also a kind of inferiority complex that seemed to be engraved in her blood, making it seem like there was a sad and thick barrier between them.

"Am I scary?" Lance had noticed her strangeness just now, and asked in a teasing tone.

"Mom said that the lord saved us, there is no one better than the lord..."

"Then can you tell me what I'm afraid of?"

"My lord is my lord." Mary's swollen eyes couldn't be concealed, and she glanced at Lance secretly.

Mary gave an ambiguous answer, but in fact Lance knew very well that in the eyes of these ordinary people, nobles were not creatures of the same species as them.

She must also have been told and even warned by her parents since she was a child not to offend the nobles, which would bring disaster to the whole family.

Growing up in this environment, she naturally showed this state.

This kind of domestication is not even done by the nobles themselves, but they domesticate the next generation themselves.

But this world shouldn't be like this...

"I'm not like them..."

Lance muttered something to himself, but he didn't expect to get Mary's approval.

"Those guys will not give us bread or milk. Only the lord is good to us, otherwise we will starve to death."

Mary said solemnly, the only thing that could make her temporarily forget the difference in identities between the two was the more profound past of suffering.

Lance was a little emotional when he heard this. To be honest, he has a very good memory, the kind that can navigate a maze-like animal den with his brain alone.

But I really don’t remember this pair of brothers and sisters, and I don’t even have an impression, because when he received these refugees, they were in very poor condition, especially the children who were basically skinny.

Not to mention the mummy, but there is definitely not much meat. How could it be possible to recognize that ghost from the present?
But regardless of her young age, they actually know everything.

You are good to them, they really remember.

"So I'm different from them, I prefer you to call me brother than 'adult'."

"Brother..." Mary seemed to be thinking about this question seriously, but under Lance's guidance, she still couldn't help asking a question, and she continued to shout when she saw the gentle smile on the lord's face.

"Brother Lance!"

"Oh, so good." Lance nodded with a smile, finally comforting her.

It's just that his gaze shifted to the weird flower in the girl's hand...

"Can Mary tell me the story of this flower?"

Hearing Lance's words, Mary looked down at her hand, but looked a little surprised, as if she didn't even realize that she had been holding the flower.

"My brother picked it for me, but it's obviously white, why did it turn into this color? It's a strange feeling..."

Lance's eyes were also fixed on the strange blood-red flower, and this piece of extraordinary equipment could be seen from the aura emerging from it.

But the bloody aura that was revealed was not a good thing, on the contrary it seemed very strange.

"Mary can I have this flower?"

For this strange flower, Mary hesitated a little before handing it out, her face seemed to be a little bit reluctant.

"Give."

Lance wasn't afraid of unknown superpowers like other supernatural beings, so he took the blood flower directly.

Once Lance got it, he felt that it was a limited piece of equipment, and probably no one else could use it except Mary. It was just that it was difficult for him to figure out the function of this piece of equipment without destroying it.

But Lance did a very strange move and handed the blood flower back.

"Your brother gave you white flowers, and I gave you red flowers."

It stands to reason that Lance should have taken advantage of the situation and sealed it up. Even if it is to be returned to her, it should wait until she has mastered a certain ability, because it is hard to imagine how a little girl can control a strange extraordinary equipment.

But after much thought, Lance decided to return the piece of equipment.

The Awakening of Flowers is an exclusive equipment, so if there is something that I don't know, it may ruin her chance.

Let everything go as it pleases, anyway, even if something happens, Lance is confident that he can suppress it.

In fact, it is not surprising that Lance made this decision, or he had already made a choice from the beginning.

Because if it was facing an ordinary person, Lance might not treat it like this, but took out the irrigation potion to cover it up, and it would not be completely cured directly, but left a skin trauma.

But Mary has awakened extraordinary power, and she is destined to face all this in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to guide her in the right direction instead of depriving her of her talent.

The tragedy that happened to Tamara in this case had taught him a lesson.

Similar to that nun, Junia, who has been delayed by the church for so long, she is now bewildered.

"Really give it to me?" Mary looked at the longing expression on the flower. She didn't think it at first, but when the thing was taken away, she felt empty in her heart, with a feeling of boredom, as if she was eager to get it back.

Lance smiled and handed the thing to her, "Take it, it's yours."

But during the handover, Lance grabbed her little hand holding the flower, and solemnly warned:

"You remember to be the master of power, don't give in to power, use your power for the right thing, just like I used my power to drive away the enemy and save you, you know?"

To be honest, Mary couldn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence, but she nodded in agreement.

"Mary knows."

Hearing this, Lance let go of his hand, and the seriousness on his face gradually faded, but he still reminded her.

"But in the future, you have to remember that this thing is very important to you. It was given to you by your brother and me. You can't give it to others, understand?"

"Understood! This is an agreement between me and Brother Lance." Mary took the flowers and carefully put them in her pocket, finally showing a relaxed smile on her face, which could not be covered even by the crying face like a kitten.

"You little guy is weird." Lance smiled and raised his hand to rub Mary's blond hair.

But this guy Wangcai appeared out of thin air, his wolf eyes of spiritual structure were facing Mary.

It doesn't like Lance touching other people's heads, that's the only way it can be treated.

But the appearance of Wangcai directly plunged that Mary's expression into panic, and subconsciously shouted.

"Wolf!"

Strong emotions seemed to inspire her strength, and she seemed to exude a strange aura.

"Don't be afraid, I have nothing here to hurt you." Lance reacted, and immediately reached out to support the panicked Mary, and quickly explained, "Calm down first, this is not a wolf, it is a dog, it will not hurt."

Speaking of which, Lance snatched Wangcai with one hand, put the dog's head under his armpit and pretended to pat it a few times, even the spirit body couldn't escape.

"It suddenly appeared to scare others, so you're looking for trouble for me again? It's all like this, so I can't save myself."

What else can Wangcai do?

He could only get a beating inexplicably. Although he didn't feel it, there was still a look of grievance on his face.

It was only after seeing this scene that Mary's excitement stabilized a little bit, and the dangerous atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated.

Sure enough, he still can't control his own power, and will release his power when his emotions fluctuate violently.

But to be able to see Wangcai unexpectedly, this awakening talent with its own equipment is really extraordinary.

Lance is also observing her situation. If it is really out of control, it will be difficult, but fortunately, this farce ended in prosperity and bad luck.

Just seeing something that looked like a wolf frightened her into such a state. It seemed that this incident had a very serious impact on her.

"Don't be afraid, Mary, I will show you a magic trick."

Speaking of which, Lance raised his hand and made a set of fancy movements, and then touched the air, and there were a few more maltose in his hand like magic.

After all, she was still a child, and this fancy movement really caught Mary's attention right away.

As a farmer's child, she had never even heard of such a thing as sugar, let alone seen it.

"Come on, Mary is very good today, this is to reward you." Lance directly fed her one.

Suffering is never worth singing about, but Lance still wants to tell them that there is sweet hope after suffering.

When the sweetness hit the taste buds, the unprecedented feeling instantly cleared Mary's remaining fear.

In this age of no oil, no water, no sugar, nothing can satisfy the senses more than fat and sugar.

"I want to leave it to my mother and my brother?" Mary held a few candies in her hands and looked at Lance with some hope.

"If you give it to you, it's yours. You can give it to whoever you want." Lance added with a smile, "By the way, when your brother wakes up, tell him that I like his bravery very much. Nothing can knock Hamlet down." people."

"Thank you Brother Lance!" Mary was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Greendale was on the side, watching this scene with a weird expression.

It is hard to imagine that a noble lord of an empire would have the patience to coax a child.

And what's even more outrageous is that it really succeeded, and just a few words made the little girl burst into tears.

Looking at the way they interact, the barrier that straddles the two of them seems to dissipate.

But what he said is not surprising...

After reassuring them briefly, Lance left the room so that they could have a good rest.

As soon as Greendale followed, she heard Lance's voice.

"You read it wrong. It's not one, but the two children have awakened extraordinary powers. It's just that the boy's injury is too serious, and the loss of vitality is too much to be seen."

Lance's inspiration is very strong, not to mention that he personally rescued the child named Tom, so he can naturally feel the situation that others have not noticed.

"At that time, it was just a momentary outbreak. The situation was more critical and I ignored it..."

Greendale thought that Lance was saying that he made a mistake, and explained subconsciously.

"No! You've done a good job!" But at this moment, Lance's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he turned to look at Grindel and interrupted her.

"Huh?" Grindel did not keep up with his rhythm.

"Why go back when you had a chance to go in that chaotic situation?"

Greendale knew clearly that Wolf Warrior was coming, and her fear of Wolf Warrior could be seen from her reaction just now.

But at this time, instead of running away, he went up to stop him and lasted until his arrival. This is no ordinary courage.

"The moment I realized the arrival of Wolf Warriors, I did think about running away. I have a carriage. If I pretend I don't know and leave with Wangcai first, no one will be able to say anything."

Grindale knew it was best to tell the truth in front of Lance, and any attempt to deceive him was asking for trouble.

"But I know that this move is likely to cause your dissatisfaction, and at the same time, too much loss of the farm will weaken Hamlet's strength and affect the revenge plan.

At that time, I guessed that Wolf Warrior's target was me or Wangcai, so I wanted to use the carriage to take away Wangcai to lure Wolf Warrior away. At this time, I still didn't have the mentality to confront him head-on.

But he came too fast. By the time I drove out of the camp, the wolves had already killed in, and many people still failed to escape in time.

The wolves advancing for reconnaissance would not be more than a thousand yards away from the war wolves. At that time, I realized that it was too late. I should give up those people outside and go back to the farm to organize defenses and use flesh and blood to stop the invasion of the war wolves.

But at this time, those soldiers were going upstream to face those white wolves, and at the same time there was a wave of extraordinary awakening in front of them. I knew that I couldn't just turn back like this, I had to save them, so I could only stand up. "

One key point that Greendale didn't mention was that those soldiers who went against the flow of people to meet the wolves at that time reminded her of the tribe's clansmen, and it was the same at that time, in order to buy her time to meet the wolves, and then...

She was ready to risk her life when she rushed up in the carriage, and the fact is that, if Lance came later, she might be gone.

Lance pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I don't like to force others. What I ask of everyone is to enjoy the treatment and to bear the responsibility. When encountering a situation beyond your ability, you only need to do your best. I will not blame anyone.

As you said, when you chose to leave, I would not do anything to you, because I know how much pressure Wolf Warrior puts on you, and I also know that he is completely beyond your ability.

But there's a difference between retreating and running away, and it's hard for me to trust one..."
