Our family is in decline

But the death of the priest didn't bring him much relief. On the contrary, Lance looked at the weird tumor with a solemn expression.

What on earth is this thing?

"Sir! There is still one alive here."

Leonard's voice came. After killing the cult aberration warrior, he began to check the fallen cultists.

Years of combat experience told him that a fallen enemy was not safe. Only dead enemies could make people feel at ease.

Sure enough, he found a cultist who had been shot but was not dead. The shotgun had a low chamber pressure and was not nearly as powerful. Coupled with his fat body, the thick fat blocked part of the damage, so he did not die directly. , but kept lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Lance came over immediately when he saw this, and when he saw the man, he couldn't help blurting out.

"Jean!"

When the fat man heard someone calling his name, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Lance, only to find that he didn't know this person at all, but the words of begging for mercy had already blurted out from his mouth.

"Sir, I have money, I can give you money."

"Stop arguing, tell me now what are you doing?"

"I understand, sir. I didn't see anything. I don't know anything."

"Damn! I'm asking you, are you pretending to be stupid? Do you want to go to trial for what you said?" Lance was not polite to him at all, and kicked him directly on the gunshot wound.

"Ah!" Gene screamed in pain, struggling like a fat catfish.

He originally thought these words were asking him if he had seen them, but of course he subconsciously said he didn't know. He could only survive if he had never seen them. Who knew they were really asking?

"I said it! We are making [seeds]."

The process of the ceremony was roughly narrated through Jean's mouth. It was a twisted and cruel act that could not be accurately described in words. Several people who heard it looked indignant.

The Lord is right, these cultists deserve to die!

But Lance frowned and asked. "Isn't this a blessing ceremony?"

"No, generally we don't gather together. The blessing ceremony for new members will only involve the presence of the introducer. Today's ceremony is to create [seeds]."

"Seed?" Lance thought about the word and then looked at the sarcoma, "Is that that thing?"

"That's right~" Jean's gaze also extended, a touch of uncontrollable greed appeared in his eyes, and a look of admiration appeared on his face, "The priest said that only by merging with seeds can we get rid of the weak human body and board the way to ascension. , just like those ascended warriors who gain powerful strength and immortal bodies.”

"Then you'll be chopped to death with my sword, right?" Lance was a little dissatisfied listening to his eloquent words.

Lance's cold words instantly brought him back to reality, and he couldn't help but glance at the mud-like Ascended Warrior, only to realize that it was so ugly and deformed.

At this moment, he seemed to be awakened and realized what he was doing during this period, and panic spread across his face.

"Oh Holy Light~"

"Do you do this often?" Lance kicked him up again to calm him down, and his expression became impatient.

He doesn't have much time. If he is discovered here, countless police officers will surround him.

"No, the cultivation of seeds is very cumbersome. Sacrifice must be prepared in advance, so the number of places is limited. I heard that there are ascendants in this area who died, so new believers have to be selected to become ascendants."

Lance looked a little weird when he heard this. Could it be that he killed the police chief in the small town, and the Ascension Sect wanted to do another one, so they held this seed cultivation ceremony, but he didn't expect to accidentally attract him.

This is a closed loop.

The Sheriff probably didn't tell him the truth at the beginning. What he received from the preacher was not only a promise, but also a seed.

The only difference is that the Sheriff has just fused and is not familiar with it yet, while the two Ascended Warriors he faced just now should have completed the fusion.

"You know a lot about this guy. It seems that your status in the cult is extraordinary. Do you know who I am?"

"No, no, I'm not familiar with them at all. I just sell some food to them." As he spoke, Gene looked up at Lance, and then slowly shook his head. He had really never seen these people before.

"I am the current boss of Walter Business Group~"

Lance grinned, but this answer sounded like uncontrollable horror to Gene.

He spent a lot of money to buy out York and was waiting for good news. When the time came to annex the Walter business group, the entire city of Owendo would have no rivals that could compete with him.

But he didn't expect that the news he was waiting for was that York was missing, and his family had disappeared. At the same time, news came that Walter was alive, and the business group inexplicably received a batch of food to tide over the crisis.

And while he was still thinking about investigating, something happened in his warehouse, which directly attracted most of his attention.

Now it seems that all this makes sense. Behind Walter is...

The long sword passed by, and Jean's head flew up. Lance didn't even bother to look at it, and assigned the tasks casually.

"Search the surrounding area to find the cultists who may be hiding, and of course their treasure trove."

Disma and the others dispersed, while Lance quickly cleaned up the scene, sacrificing all those things and converting them into experience points.

The experience points reported by those Ascension Cultists who have integrated the seeds are at least five times that of ordinary believers, but their strength is more difficult to deal with than five.

Put the [seed] in a box. Although he really wanted to try it as a sacrifice, there was only one of this thing, so he felt it was better to stay and study it.

"found it!"

Disma's voice came, and several people hurried over.

Originally, Lance thought he would have to find a secret room to store those valuables, but he didn't expect it to be in a room extending back from the hall.

The door lock had been pried open by Disma. When several people pushed the door open, they saw boxes stacked neatly.

Opening those boxes will make the whole room glow with golden light under the candlelight.

There were gold coins in the whole box. This was the first time that William had seen this situation. His expression was a little dull and his breathing could not help but become rapid.

Opening other boxes, most of them contained gold coins, and there were also some exquisite small boxes containing precious jewelry.

Although he didn't count them one by one, Lance estimated that this place was worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins, which was still a conservative estimate.

Walter had never had so much cash in his account during his entire life, but it was just put away by them at will. It had to be said that these people were really pursuing ascension, and they no longer had much need for these materials.

Lance and the others have seen this too much and don't have much reaction.

After all, the cult belongs to the ancestor, and as the heir, what belongs to the ancestor belongs to him, so these are originally his.

What's so exciting about taking your own money~
