Our family is in decline

At this time, Lance finally no longer had to hide around and could stand openly and openly on Hamlet's land.

But now he still has one thing to deal with, which is to "visit" the mayor.

"Susan, take your things back first, and then we'll go back after we've taken care of the last bit."

Lance found an excuse to send Susan away and then led all the people directly to the mayor's house.

The main body is a two-story masonry structure with yards at the front and back. This house is considered the best in the town.

But what surprised him a little was that there were two horses tied in the manger in the front yard.

Isn't this the horse that was ridden by the butler? Does appearing here mean...

Lance and the two looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had noticed something.

"My guess was indeed correct. It was the housekeeper who betrayed us and revealed our whereabouts. Otherwise, the mayor would not have known the exact time and place of our return."

Lance had another thought, and directly labeled the mayor as a traitor, so that he would have room to argue no matter what he said.

Sneaking into the house, Lance soon found the mayor who was sleeping. A fat man whose belly could bulge like a hill when he lay down, was snoring loudly.

"Fuck!" After working hard all night, Lance's resentment suddenly rose when he saw him sleeping so comfortably.

He immediately found a rope and tied him to the bed, then turned around and gave instructions to the two of them.

"Go and search other rooms for me, and kill everyone else you see."

After sending the people away, Lance focused on the mayor and patted the mayor's face with the muzzle of his gun.

"Wake up!" When there was no response, he slapped her with a big slap on the ear.

"Hey!" The mayor took a sharp breath, as if he couldn't breathe, and when he wanted to raise his head, he realized that he was tied to the bed.

"Who are you?" But soon he saw a dark figure standing aside and asked instinctively. Then he suddenly woke up from his confusion, realized the current situation and opened his mouth to shout.

"You can scream louder~" Lance directly put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, "You can also be more honest."

The mayor misfired for a moment, then nodded sharply, and then Lance pulled out the gun.

"The money is in the cabinet, please don't hurt me."

"Do you think I came to you for money?"

The mayor suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "You are the heir!"

"Are you surprised that I'm not dead?" Lance sneered.

"Oh~ I swear to God, this matter has nothing to do with me." The mayor looked very frightened, "It must be those hateful bandits who framed me."

"You did it all yourself before I even said anything." Lance shook his head and teased.

The mayor realized that he had made a mistake, but he had no intention of admitting it and continued to quibble.

"I really don't know anything."

"Do you think I will believe it? They almost killed me!" Lance could not suppress the surging emotions.

In fact, before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person, not one of those warrior kings and war gods. When he was chased by those bandits, he was really scared instead of pretending, let alone seeing the bloody scene for the first time.

The steady and strategizing lord in front of Disma and Leonard was just a character he forced himself to perform.

I can only say that reality can indeed make people grow up quickly, because those who are slow will die.

Lance calmed down and said calmly: "Even if no killers were arranged, if you made my territory what it is now, do you think I would let you go?"

"Without me, the town would have been killed by bandits long ago. Don't think that I don't know about the old lord's deal with those bandits! You just be your lord, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the town."

The mayor also realized that Lance could not let him go, and immediately issued a news threat.

It's a pity that Lance didn't show any surprise when he heard this. On the contrary, he was very calm. The next second, Lance took out the dagger and inserted it directly into his mouth, and then stirred hard.

"ah!"

The mayor obviously did not expect this. The severe pain caused the fat body to shake violently, and almost the whole bed was about to fall apart. However, it was still difficult to stop Lance's actions. A scream disappeared as soon as it rose, and his mouth was already broken. Tuck in the cloth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The mayor had completely lost the ability to speak at this time, and the wound in his mouth felt as painful as swallowing a razor blade when it touched the rough cloth.

Lance smiled with satisfaction when he saw this situation.

In fact, Lance knew the deal between his ancestor and the bandits better than the mayor, otherwise how could he have sent several people away for separate interrogation.

When the ancestor was excavating the ruins, a prophet came to the town and preached that the ancestor's behavior that violated taboos would lead to the end of the world. In a world where religious influence is quite strong, people are usually very superstitious.

This prophecy aroused public protests, and even as the rumors continued to ferment, people's panic was also mobilized. The development from demonstrations and protests to the final riots has seriously affected the ancestor's excavation of the ruins.

In order to deal with the noisy people, the ruthless ancestor directly invited a group of unscrupulous murder experts, and soon an army composed of thugs, bandits and professional killers began to massacre the town.

Yes, the original bandit invasion was actually the ancestor's method to suppress the peasant uprising.

As the manager of the town, the mayor may know something, but sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, so that’s why we ended up like this~

Lance knew that if he wanted to take over the town with a positive image, he had to eliminate all those who knew about it. The butler was dead and now only the mayor was left.

Lance turned around and left the room to join Disma and the others, but the strange thing was that there was no one else in the house except the mayor.

Lance couldn't help but frown at this.

He didn't like this situation when things were out of control, but that was all he could do now.

"Look what I found!"

Disma's excited voice interrupted his thoughts, and he walked over to find the entrance to a basement next to the fireplace.

"Beware of traps."

An ordinary person would have been eager to go in and explore, but Lance, who knew this worldview well, seemed very vigilant, as cautious as if he had lost something.

Disma calmed down under Lance's reminder, picked up the candlestick and groped into it.

"It's okay, come down."

Hearing the shouts from below, Lance walked into it. The masonry steps went all the way down, and the arched corridor made of square stones showed that the builder attached great importance to this place.

Walking along the passage, Lance soon came downstairs, looking at the basement by the light of the candlestick.
