our family is gone

Chapter 5 Sacrifice
But those corruption and void monsters are real, so are the evil gods, and it's also true that they will destroy the world when they wake up. The only difference is that the culprit of all this is actually the old thing, the ancestor.

To fight against them you have to know something about these things, and sooner or later you have to tell them.

And the heroic stories they built will give them enough spiritual support, at least they will not have a mental breakdown and run away when they encounter monsters.

The story just now is just a screening, and what follows is the real core.

"Don't be so pessimistic. In fact, my family still left me with some strength to fight against evil."

Lance set his eyes on a corpse, then raised his hand to touch it.

[Sacrifice] was activated, and the dead body was swallowed by the darkness as if it had collapsed, leaving only clothes and bits and pieces in place.

As the caster, Lance could see the light spots floating on him from the void.

At this moment, he felt that his body was like a bottle, and there were some light spots floating irregularly in it.

Originally, Lance didn't understand what the so-called gift in the skill description meant, until now he finally understood the changes brought about by the sacrifice.

Gifts, that is, those light spots can be understood as experience points or energy bars.

And [Blessing] can strengthen the body by consuming [Gift], which is actually an upgrade, and it can even strengthen objects.

What's more important is that the blessing is not only to strengthen himself, but can also be used on people other than him, that is to say, as long as the gift is enough, he can build a powerful army.

Lance keenly felt that this was the key to his foothold in this world.

After consuming all the gifts, as the light spots on the body disappeared, a warm current appeared out of thin air and circulated in the body. The fatigue accumulated from running around just now was directly swept away, and the anxiety that was mentally exhausted was dispelled by the continuously emerging power.

He intuitively felt that his body was getting stronger, but that feeling disappeared in an instant, and Lance knew that he needed more gifts.

Both Disma and Leonard were very surprised to see this scene, which has gone beyond their understanding.

If they hadn't been vaccinated just now, I'm afraid they would have hacked Lance as a monster now.

Noticing the reactions of the two, he waited until Lance had sacrificed the other two corpses before explaining.

"That evil god is the god of flesh and blood. He corrupts and attracts monsters to make them fight. The flesh and blood of every creature that dies in this area will provide him with strength, so it is not enough to just kill the enemy, and the remaining ones need to be cleared. corpse.

The ancestor obtained mysterious and powerful abilities from the divine enlightenment. During the long-term confrontation, the family members were able to rely on the power of blood to perform. The ancestor left behind an ancient ritual to completely purify the flesh and blood of the enemy, so as to prevent the power of evil gods Become stronger and break free from the seal. "

Of course, it is impossible for Lance to say that he sacrificed the corpse, and it is obviously more acceptable to change it to purification.

In fact, the ancestor was indeed planning to become a god relying on the power of flesh and blood, and his sacrifice of the corpse was really weakening the strength of the ancestor to some extent.

Fortunately, the previous story had an effect. Although the two had never seen such a weird ceremony, they still chose to believe it.

"Don't be surprised, there are still many miraculous things in this cursed land, and you will see more incredible things in the future."

Lance didn't go on talking, but picked up the clothes on the ground to wipe off the blood on the gun, and tied the gunpowder pouch of a strong man to his belt. The temperament of a bachelor suddenly became a little more hostile.

Returning to the carriage, Lance sacrificed the gunman's body, feeling the increased light spots in his body. He was like a miser watching the gold coins come into his account, feeling a sense of substantial security.

It's just that he didn't use these gifts right away, and the weak strengthening didn't have much effect, but accumulating them was equivalent to insurance.

Those scattered boxes are basically filled with sundries from his predecessor, which are not of much use to Lance. The really important inheritance certificate that can prove his identity is on him.

Pick some out and stuff them in your suitcase, toss the long-barreled flintlock to Disma, he's the only one of them who can use it.

After that, all the rest will be piled up in the bushes of the dense forest, and the best one can be found at that time, and it doesn't matter if you can't find it.

He set it on fire neatly, watching Xiongxiong's burning flames engulf the carriage with the family emblem, Lance didn't miss it, then turned around with the suitcase and greeted the two of them.

"Go! Take Hamlet."

I don't know how far I walked along the old road. When the morning sun rose from the sky, the sun tore through the thick clouds and dispelled the darkness from the land. At this time, Lance vaguely saw the human buildings in the distance.

finally reached.

The experience along the way made Lance understand why there is a limit to the backpack in the game, and he would feel tired after walking for a while with this thing. Tired, I'm afraid he's still dawdling now.

But this also consumed a small [Gift], and now he only wanted to find the butler who was running away, and then shot him down.

Dare to steal my horse!
Before continuing to move forward, Lance stopped the two of them, took out two small leather bags from his pocket, and handed them to them respectively.

Their mission for this trip was to send themselves to the town. The total reward was [-] copper coins, [-] per person. The money was paid by Lance's teacher, that is, the old professor who raised him.

According to the conversion of this world currency system, 1 gold coin = 20 silver coins = 240 copper coins.

One thousand is 4 gold coins plus 40 copper coins.

Don't make it look like money actually has a lot of purchasing power in this unproductive world.

In Lance's memory, the salary of an ordinary handicraft worker in the city is only 3 copper coins for a day of hard work, and only some technical positions have a better salary of 5 copper coins per day.

And Lance's teacher who is a professor at the university has a monthly salary of 5 gold coins, which is also a high-paying class in big cities.

As for the serfs, they might not even have the chance to see the coins. They were exploited by the farmers just like slaves. As long as they could not starve to death, it would be good.

It's just that neither of them took it, but looked at Lance with some puzzlement.

"Take it, this is your task reward." Lance emphasized.

"Lord, what does this mean?" Desma was a little annoyed and felt humiliated, "I swore allegiance to you to kill evil."

"But as long as you are human, you have to eat, right? Your equipment also needs to be maintained? I can't let you fight evil with me with tattered weapons on an empty stomach~" Lance smiled and comforted: "Since you are with me If you leave me, then I will be responsible for you, this is my responsibility and there is no conflict with our goals."

As he spoke, he stuffed the money bag into their hands.

Now is the time to buy people's hearts. It is impossible for Lance to save money and cause a rift between the two.

Under Lance's persuasion, the two accepted the commission, and then came to the small town of Hamlet.
