Our family is in decline

At night, there are only a few people on the street, and among them one person and one dog look very unique.

Another day passed, and William suddenly stopped, feeling an indescribable complex emotion.

Tired, confused, and finding nothing...

During this period of time, he and Griffith visited almost the entire city of Owendo, whether it was the wealthy area or the civilian area, the commercial area of ​​the port, or the bottom floor of the pier where the fishermen and porters lived, the worst place. Everyone who can walk has walked through it.

But he still didn't notice the smell of the red candle that the lord gave him.

He seemed to remember that the police chief asked him to do something meaningless, and a trace of distrust arose again.

He had no choice but to push the door open and see that the police chief was also a member of the cult. The shock was still vivid in his memory to this day.

Every time I think about that police badge and the police chief’s ferocious smile.

"Uuuu~" As if feeling his master's confusion, Figes whined in a low voice, and then licked the back of his hand.

Griffith's concern brought him back to his senses. Looking at the dog's spiritually concerned eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he knelt down and stroked it.

Dogs are different from people. If you treat a dog well, it will really give you feedback. His actions made Griffith active, licking more vigorously, and his little tail kept wagging, as if he would never get tired of it.

"Hahaha~ Okay, okay." William hugged Gouzi, and the accumulated pressure in his heart seemed to dissipate. Compared to the indifferent world, only Gouzi could give him a little comfort.

Calmness and reason returned to his brain.

He knew that he was impatient, eager to perform deeds in front of the lord, and wanted to prove his strength.

However, no one was found after these days of searching, which directly put a lot of pressure on him, and it was at this time that he began to doubt his own abilities, and also doubted the Lord's instructions, unconsciously thinking of the Sheriff.

But I had seen this special candle at the sacrifice site that day. Since the lord said so, there must be a reason.

"We will never stop and we will never compromise."

Soon William cheered up, stroked the dog's head and looked forward seriously.

Reason returned to his brain, and he immediately realized that he had entered a dead end. Why did he give up the clues he had found before and waste time on this?

The red candle must be used at the ceremony site, and it is too difficult to find it without knowing the specific time and location.

But you can start with the more widely used incense and let the cultists lead them to the ritual place.

After reacting, William took out a piece of incense and placed it in front of Figs.

"Smell carefully, we can always track the target!"

The squatting Griffith suddenly reacted, turned around and ran out. Seeing this, William quickly pulled the dog leash to follow.

With Figes' ability, William quickly identified the target and followed it all the way, but this time it gave him some difficulties because the target was in a building that was brightly lit at night.

Guards can be seen outside the door, and the sounds of warblers and swallows can be heard from inside.

Brothels were a very common place. Although he had never been there, he knew that it was impossible for him to go in and investigate.

Now I can only go back and report to the Lord to ask him to save people~

At this moment, a luxurious carriage with complicated decorations drove out from the side.

He didn't pay attention at first, but Figus pricked up his ears alertly and became restless.

Gouzi's reaction reminded him that the target was in the car!

At this time, he knew very well what target the incense was used on, which meant that there must be a sacrifice in the car, and the car was heading towards the target he had been looking for for a long time - the ritual site.

Should he let the carriage move and take him to the ceremony place...or save others?

According to what the lord said, if you find the ritual place and destroy it, you can save more victims, and you can also prove your ability.

But do you really want to watch someone die?

Can this really be considered justice?

The inner struggle almost drove him crazy, but the rolling wheel would not stop because of his struggle, and kept getting further and further away.

Griffith felt that the target was moving away. In the past, he would go up to the target when he found it, but why was there no order this time?

It began to become restless, pacing back and forth, frequently turning back to look at its owner, its eyes going back and forth between the two.

Looking at Gouzi, William made a decision at this moment.

My consciousness is clear! I fight for justice!

Looking at the carriage that had left, he ran directly to follow it, and did not take action until he was in a place where no one was around.

"Kill them, girl!"

The moment he untied the dog's leash, Figes jumped out. His strong and fast running posture was like a cheetah's, instantly locking onto the enemy and swooping up to bite the driver.

"Oh! Where did the mad dog come from!"

The coachman did not expect this to be the case. In panic, he could only stop the carriage and try to drive the mad dog away.

At this time when Fergus was entangled, William ran over, rushed out of the darkness and came up with a sap.

William didn't want to kill anyone, so the stick was aimed at the back instead of the head. But to his surprise, the coachman did not fall down. Instead, he drew out the dagger from his waist and screamed.

"Damn robber, you don't know who you've messed with!"

But he forgot that he was not dealing with someone alone. Figgus took the opportunity to rush up and bite the wrist holding the sword.

At the same time, William was worried about provoking someone, and this time he hit him directly on the head.

The coachman felt as if his brain had disappeared, dizziness took away control of his body, and he staggered to the ground.

William opened the carriage immediately, and sure enough, he found a girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old inside. Looking at the simple clothes, she looked like a child from an ordinary family.

Fortunately, he was still alive. After he was sure that the child was okay, his heart finally relaxed, a simple and pure smile appeared on his face, and he rubbed his head.

"Justice does not necessarily require sacrifice!"

But what about afterwards?

William looked at the coachman on the ground.

He is not a peace officer now, and his opponent is not a gangster.

He knew he was in trouble, but he didn't panic. Instead, he checked around to make sure there were no witnesses, then quickly loaded the coachman into the carriage, then changed a route and disappeared into the darkness.

After arranging things at the camp, Lance went to find Tiffany.

"Are things arranged?"

"The goods have been loaded onto the ship, and one hundred and fifty slaves have been sent over. The traitors and their families have also been sent out among the slaves."

"Go ahead and inform us that we will set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning. You will go to Totnes with me. As for your mother and brother, they will follow the caravan to Hamlet.
