our family is gone

The power of sacrifice completely wiped out that guy, who didn't even have a name left. Perhaps he himself had long forgotten what his name was.

"I'll take you back first, and I'll go see if Amanda is doing well."

Lance raised his hand and teleported Alhazred back to the city, but he did not leave directly. Instead, he took the gift from the void.

A faceless mask is like a curved piece of wax, with traces of the wax melting and solidifying on it.

[Melting wax mask], and this thing has only one function, which is to shape, and it can change into different faces.

To be honest, its effect is pretty useless, but the good thing about this thing is that it has no side effects and anyone can use it.

The second piece is a bit more interesting. It is a heart-shaped wax ball that can be held in one hand and also has traces of melted wax on the surface.

[Melted Wax Puppet], and the function of this thing is to create a wax puppet. The reason why Lance finds it interesting is that the strength of this clone depends on the resources invested, that is, this thing can grow.

If divinity is used as the material, then...

Lance didn't think too much about it because there was still one more thing.

It was a human-shaped statue the size of three fingers, but its entire body was covered in melted wax, obscuring all the details.

[Melted Wax Substitute] can bear some of the damage for the holder. Note that it is only a part, not all, and there is an upper limit.

But its real power lies in the fact that this thing can repair itself. It is not a disposable equipment. As long as it does not exceed the upper limit, it is equivalent to permanently installing a damage-reducing armor.

Lance sacrificed too many things and received many gifts. Most of them turned into spirituality, and only some who mastered special abilities would have equipment exploded. Most of these equipment were the concentration or embodiment of their power.

This guy really deserves to be an old man who has lived for who knows how many years. He dropped three pieces of equipment, and they are all very interesting.

The other two items were difficult to test, so Lance took the mask and pressed it on his face. Sure enough, the next second the melted wax began to change and fit his face, matching the skin color perfectly, as if it had grown out of his face.

Although Lance felt something on his face, the foreign body sensation was not strong and did not affect his strength.

Changing facial features is also very easy under control. Perhaps if I can take this out, my identity won't be exposed, and I can also play different roles.

Lance was like a child who had gotten a toy. He kept testing the mask. At the same time, he turned around and walked into the tomb to completely erase everything that guy had left behind.

…………

The former imperial princess Sophia is now just Hamlet’s perfumer Sophia.

After she finally gave in and stopped making trouble, Lance transferred her out of the winery and gave her a studio, where her daily job was to make perfumes.

Lance Investment asked her to do research. Besides finding something for her to do, the main purpose was to accumulate technology. After all, perfume is a huge market, but few people market their products to ordinary people.

To be honest, she was a little worried at first, but she soon adapted to the rhythm of Hamlet because no one cared about her at all. There were so many people with different stories here.

On weekdays, she only needs to stay in the studio, do what she likes, and devote her time to developing perfumes. She doesn't need to worry about anything or other things. She can just write down a list of what she needs and someone will deliver it to her.

However, the pirate incident has been a big deal recently, and there are too many criminals that need to be interrogated, so she was asked to prepare some hallucinogens, but she didn't know why the lord suddenly called her.

After all, I haven't seen him since our last conversation, and that man never contacted me once, as if he had really forgotten me.

And the place he was allowed to go was even stranger... a sanatorium.

As someone who knew some inside information, the sanatorium was not a good place. If she had any problems, she would not dare to go in. Sophia stood at the door and thought about it to make sure that there was no problem with her before she walked in with a nervous mood.

She was brought directly to a room, and greeted the lord respectfully when she saw him flipping through something.

"grown ups?"

"This matter may have something to do with you, so I asked you to come and take a look." Lance looked at the newcomer with a strange expression, but quickly closed the book he had just received and raised his hand to signal her to look aside.

Sophia looked at the white cloth covering the dissection bed, lifted a corner of it with confusion, and fell silent when she saw the face of the corpse.

Although that pale face was a little different from what I remembered, how could I forget it...

After a moment, Sophia seemed to calm down and spoke.

"How could he appear here?"

"You must have heard about someone trying to release a plague. We investigated and found a powerful necromancer who had turned this knight into a puppet.

As the investigation deepened, the knight's identity was revealed, and the truth about your attack was also mentioned. Someone did reveal the route of the convoy..."

"Needless to say, these things are in the past."

Sophia interrupted Lance before he could finish. She had finally had a few days of peace and quiet and had lost interest in the court struggles. Her gaze returned to the corpse.

"He has done enough for our family. Can I take him away and bury him?"

"His body has been modified. He looks like he just died not long ago, but he has actually been dead for a long time and is tainted with the aura of the dead. I suggest burning him to truly end his suffering. Otherwise, problems may easily arise."

Lance didn't say anything to comfort her because he could feel that Sophia was more depressed and her emotions were not too intense.

But you’re also right, there are plots in knight novels where a princess falls in love with a knight, but they are mostly just novels.

In fact, the nobles' guardian knights are meant to be consumed. There is no question of whether they are worth it or not. They are selected and trained, and their mission is to sacrifice themselves to protect the target at the critical moment.

Sophia threw the torch into the pile of firewood. The strange thing was that the frozen corpse began to melt after coming into contact with the flames, until the flames devoured the corpse.

Everyone has his own mission, but he has already completed it...

Another day passed, and crowds of people gathered in the square, but compared to the surging crowds in the past few days, they were much more restrained. It wasn't that no one was paying attention to it, but they knew they couldn't see it even if they gathered together, so it would be more interesting to wait for the storytellers and actors to put together stories.

Yes, it is impossible to talk to ordinary people about big principles and ask them to read tedious case reports, but there are some things that everyone likes.

Lance made a murderous move, which was to find someone to make up the stories of the pirates and nobles into a story and stage a drama.

The plot, of course, is about the brutality of pirates, the evil of nobles, and the pity of common people. The pirates are finally defeated by the brave and fearless warriors of Hamlet. It may be a little crude, and the preparation time is still too slow, but the simple plot, distinct faces, and simple excitement still attract everyone's love.

As these things continue to develop, they will be supplemented and improved, and when the entire classic comes out, this matter will be nailed down.

While developing military force, we should also pay attention to cultural development, which is an invisible but sharper weapon.

In the past few days, Lance took time out to deal with the trouble behind the trial ceremony, but it did not escalate. On the contrary, he showed considerable restraint, and no one dared to cause trouble.

Today, Lance took time out from his busy schedule to meet some special people.

Today we are borrowing the school auditorium, and only this indoor space can accommodate the hundreds of people gathered in the hall.

Most of them are various extraordinary people, and basically they are wild. Due to various adventures or inexplicable reasons, they either awakened, obtained something, or are from the declining extraordinary families or forces.

Anyway, when they became extraordinary people and stepped into the extraordinary world, they were already defined as "evil" by some guys, and those extraordinary churches with organizations and backgrounds pretended not to know.

In fact, it has been said a long time ago that those supernatural organizations are just a means of monopolizing supernatural powers and mysticism. Either join them or become their material.

Other supernatural organizations also acquiesced and were even included, but because the empire was an area dominated by the church, the overbearing behavior stood out.

Because of the persecution by the church, the extraordinary people can only hide everywhere, like rats in the sewer.

Either they hide their identities and communicate through secret small gatherings, or they go to the black market for extraordinary people like Rat Street.

Or like Francis, the fire wizard under Count Bastia, who was forced to work for those noble bureaucrats in order to seek protection.

To put it nicely, they are consultants, but they don't have as good conditions as Hamlet. They are just dogs for their masters.

Anyway, there are two kinds of extraordinary people, one is those with powerful backgrounds, and the other is just a group of people. Do you think they don't want to join? Isn't it good to get the protection of an organization?
But the question is why should they accept you?
The supernatural power is too chaotic, there are only so many resources, and everyone’s talents are different... There are too many reasons.

Therefore, most of the individual players are of relatively low level, and may even just be guys who rely on some special equipment.

Sometimes when you are greedy for other people's interest, they want your capital.

The sudden appearance of Hamlet broke this situation. The word spread in the circle that there was no need to buy one's life, as long as one abided by the rules here, one would be protected, and there would be many benefits if one joined.

For them, it is finally good to have a safe place without having to worry about being robbed.

In fact, many extraordinary people hold a wait-and-see attitude towards Hamlet. As individual people, they are cautious and will not believe things easily. Having their own thoughts and judgments is the key to their survival.

That means only a few people come here...

When the agreed time came, Lance came out and nodded slightly to the people in the audience. For some reason, his smiling face and gentle tone made people feel naturally favorable.

The lord, who had no aura at all and looked like an ordinary person, was respected by everyone. After all, they had felt the "power" these days.

“You have been in Hamlet for some time. The fact that you have accepted the invitation is enough to show that we have the same philosophy and it is time to put an end to that chaos.

Everyone should understand the horror of supernatural powers and should also be aware of the price involved. We should have a consensus that supernatural powers should be controlled.

So we..."

Lance didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. He said that Hamlet was forbidden to use supernatural powers at will, especially in front of ordinary people and especially in crowded areas.

There are also some uncertainties in their research, and harmful research needs to be stopped...

There are many detailed conditions. In fact, the so-called rules are another way to separate the extraordinary people from ordinary people, or to "strip out" the extraordinary powers.

But the word "restriction" made the extraordinary people in the audience very uncomfortable and touched their sensitive nerves.

"My Lord, but we didn't do anything."

"That's right, this is different from what we agreed on."

Some people began to show resistance, but Lance remained calm but determined, and instead questioned those extraordinary people.

"Think for yourself why Hamlet made these rules?"

Seeing that no one answered, he continued to ask.

"What I'm fighting for is the opportunity for everyone to live safely under the sun. Isn't that protecting everyone's interests? Do I have to watch you lose control, kill you, and eat your things for freedom?"

This series of words immediately put those extraordinary people off. Of course, Lance also knew that it was only on the surface. After hitting with a big stick, he would have to throw out a carrot.

“I know that many of you here became extraordinary people inexplicably. You lack a lot of basic knowledge, and it is difficult for you to figure things out on your own. This is also the reason why extraordinary people have problems.

So I will open a place for extraordinary people. The first step is to open up the sorted basic knowledge for everyone to learn and provide everyone with a channel for learning and research.

We are all teachers, and we are all students. If you encounter problems with your research topics, you can apply for help..."

Lance did want to restrict those extraordinary people, but he also gave them a channel to rise.

Lance is preparing to take the lead in providing a new communication platform for extraordinary people. The knowledge that other forces have hidden is directly opened up. Although they are all basics, for many people this is an achievement that they will find difficult to explore in their lifetime.

At the same time, we provide assistance to those extraordinary people who want to conduct research, including venues, funds, materials...

As for those who are tired of the supernatural world and want to quit, as long as you don't use supernatural powers, no one will bother you.

Even if you have trouble, you can still contact the authorities...

“To be honest, these systems are still very rudimentary, and it will take time to discover problems and improve them, but I want to allow extraordinary people to live with more dignity, prohibit mutual killing, and let extraordinary power serve humanity.

It is your freedom to stay or leave, we will not interfere, but there are some things we must make clear first, if you stay you must abide by the rules of the extraordinary. "

Lance spoke directly and said that those who don’t want to stay can leave. (End of this chapter)
