Our family is in decline

It was only after nightfall that Lance finished handling all the accumulated matters and sorting out the town's construction.

At this time, I finally had time to go back to my room and start summarizing the situation during this period.

To be honest, from the battle in the wilderness, there was no monetary gain at all, and I even suffered a lot of losses.

Whether it was logistical issues or follow-up aftermath, it was roughly estimated that this battle would cost at least several thousand gold coins.

Yes, it was gold coins. Even Lance, who was not short of money, felt a slight pain in his heart.

It’s okay to say that starting a war means burning money.

But this battle is necessary and will be fought sooner or later.

It's like the battle between bandits opened up the old road and restored business.

This battle eliminated the danger of the witch and ended the spreading corruption in the wilderness. At the same time, the witch helped him clean up a wave of monsters lurking in the wilderness. Apart from those stupid spiders, he did not need to worry about other beasts attacking the serfs.

Directly opened up the wilderness situation.

When the time comes, send people into it to cut out the isolation zone and burn the mushrooms directly, and then reclaim the fertile land purified by the flames to build new labor farms and expand the town's scope of influence.

Moreover, he can also plan a medicinal field to grow various medicinal herbs. One of the sources of money for his subsequent plan is the ascension potion, and he must control the raw materials in his own hands.

Farm +1

Lumberyard +1

Medicine field +1

there are more……

Lance did some research and found that the benefits of developing the wilderness are actually quite large, but these are not immediately effective.

It takes time, it takes development, it takes more people.

These things couldn't be rushed, so he had to put them aside temporarily and turn to study other gains.

The foxtail pendant of the old witch, the toe necklace of the corrupted giant, the cursed doll and the snake-shaped dagger of the evil woman in the forest.

Although it is not a [gift], this kind of thing is different from those of White Wolf. There are no restrictions. You can understand its function with a little research.

[Fox Tail Pendant] makes the body as agile as a fox, making it easier to dodge enemy attacks, but it also makes the body lose balance and prone to uncontrolled displacement.

[Toe Necklace] makes the body more stable and less likely to lose balance, but it will make the body heavy and slow down.

[Curse Doll] marks an enemy, causing spiritual damage that ignores armor, but will cause backlash

[Snake-shaped dagger] is extremely sharp and strong, has no increase, and also has no negative effects.

Three of these four pieces of equipment are seriously negative, and all three of them can cause spiritual agitation.

In particular, [Curse Doll] has caused the strongest backlash. It is basically a genre of perish together. I am afraid that only the evil woman in the forest who has been transformed by witchcraft can use it.

Of course, Lance can be exempted from the backlash, but he doesn't seem to have the use of this thing. If he slashes with the giant sword, whether he has armor or not, he will be cut open or smashed to death.

He can't use it, and others can't use it. It's completely useless.

Of the three pieces of garbage, only the [Snake Dagger] has no negative effects and can be used by others.

However, Lance didn't pay much attention to this. With the rarity of extraordinary items, what good things could these guys hiding in the wilderness have?

These crudely made extraordinary equipment are just ordinary white equipment. The doll may be better and can be regarded as excellent equipment, but the side effects are too great.

The real harvest is only the panel-certified [Banshee Hatchet], as well as a complete set of equipment for the witch, those materials, and manuscripts.

The cauldron and the spoon were borrowed from Greendale, but the hammer was in his hand.

[Witch's Bone Crushing Hammer] The thick square metal hammer head has some weird lines on it, both striking surfaces are covered with dense spikes, and the handle is a kind of simple black wood.

Holding it in his hand, he can feel that his strength has increased a lot, which makes his physique feel a significant increase. There is no doubt that the increase of this hammer is not comparable to that of many negative whiteboard equipment.

Only then did Lance understand that no wonder the witch in the confrontation was able to surpass him in terms of pure strength. In addition to the power brought by his huge size, he was also blessed by a set of equipment.

This weapon is good, but it shouldn't be that simple. It needs more in-depth research and testing to make sure it's harmless before it can be used by others.

Lance has seen too many stories of weapons corrupting the soul. If the weapon is tampered with, the user becomes corrupt and believes in the ancestor, causing a big rebellion for himself...

According to this theory, it is really possible. After all, most of these weapons will cause spiritual agitation in the air, which means that they will affect people's souls. Just because he is immune does not mean that other people are immune.

An inexplicable sense of crisis arose. Lance knew that these extraordinary equipment could be used, but strict usage procedures must be formulated and controlled.

Putting these things down, Lance began to take out the heavyweight harvest of this trip - human skin books.

If a witch can set a trap, it goes without saying that there must be some dark secret inside.

The curiosity to explore secrets is everyone's instinct, and he is no exception.

Lance rubbed the human skin cover with a strange touch. The rough sewing and preservation made it wrinkle slightly, and there were also holes on it that were corroded.

Open the first page carefully...

Lance flipped through the books and frowned at the strange words scrawled on them.

This is not a diary, but the witch's research notes. Her origins are not mentioned, but the various crazy essays mixed in it can roughly piece together the purpose of her experiments.

She learned about the Ancient God of Flesh and Blood from her ancestor’s bedside. At that time, her ancestor had just begun to study the dungeon and trusted this confidante, so she shared this secret.

But not everyone is as ruthless as the ancestor. Even before she saw the ancient god, she was already crazy to a certain extent after seeing the door.

The ancestor couldn't resist her going crazy, so he drove her away from Hamlet and drove her into the wilderness.

Abandoned by the scumbag Old Ancestor, and having seen the power of the Ancient God, she knew that when the Ancient God awakened, the world would fall into the end of the world.

But the fear of the ancient gods made her have no idea of ​​saving the world, and only thought about how to save herself.

The ancestor studied the ancient gods to find ways to replace them. After seeing the power of the ancient gods, she began to study how to survive the doomsday.

Since you are the ancient god of flesh and blood and are in charge of flesh and blood, then I will get rid of flesh and blood and survive.

The witch is also a person with great execution ability, and she actually takes root in the wilderness to conduct research...

Lance didn't know what she thought. He could only say that under certain circumstances, her idea was interesting and it succeeded.

Just look at those fungal parasites and you will know that they "survive" without flesh and blood.

Of course Lance doesn't approve of this way of living.

Being transformed into that, it would be better to die.

But it is undeniable that the witch is an out-and-out genius. She did this alone in an environment like the wilderness and without more support.

What he said about it was a mad genius.

The short stories are just the least valuable part of this book. What is really valuable is the research recorded on the notes.

The witch's idea is how to survive the doomsday when the ancient god awakens, and to resist the minions of the evil god. In addition to transforming the human body into a vegetative state, the witch also engages in any research that can enhance the human body.

For example, when the human body becomes gigantic, those corrupt giants and witches themselves are not of this size, but are cultivated.

The huge size does bring great strength and strong vitality. Perhaps he can continue to improve this project and then join the Ultramarine Training Program.

There are a lot of giants over two meters tall with gnarled muscles. They are equipped with heavy armor and carry heavy weapons. Their moves are all "trunk slamming".

What can stop it?

I, Hamlet, am invincible!

Just thinking about it makes people feel excited.

And that's not the end of it, the Witch's legacy goes far beyond that.

In her huge research, she not only conducts research on human bodies, but also tries to figure out how to avoid the disaster caused by the awakening of the ancient gods, and how to fight against those flesh and blood monsters.

To this end, she developed a germ that specifically targets flesh and blood.

One is the blight fungus that devours flesh and turns people into mushroom heads, which is the root cause of the blight disease today. This is of no use to Lance. At most, it is only an auxiliary treatment.

But another type of fungus is very special. It is a terrifying fungus developed by witches specifically for the characteristics of flesh and blood monsters that continue to heal after being injured - necrotic fungus.

That is to say, during the war, the evil woman in the forest used corpses to spawn large mushrooms. The spores would dissolve the flesh and blood, causing erosion and infection, and inhibiting the healing of the flesh and blood.

It seems that the witch still has a sense of resentment towards the ancestor's betrayal, and has been on the front line against the ancestor.

And this will also become Lance's valuable asset against the evil god.

It's a pity that there are not many records about traditional herbalism in the notes. You must know that the witch is a person who can convince the ancestors. She must know many interesting formulas. It is a pity that they have been lost with her death.

Lance held the human-skin book in his hands, without the previous disgust at all. On the contrary, it was like holding a treasure.

Until Wangcai, who was lying in the kennel, suddenly opened his wolf eyes and looked out the door, looking at it with obvious hostility.

Wangcai's strange behavior interrupted his research, but he guessed something. There was only one person in Hamlet who could make him hold a grudge.

"Come in." Lance closed his note and gestured.

Seeing Greendale pushing open the door alone, Lance did not forget to ask: "How are the conditions of those patients?"

"It's not that simple. It will take some time to completely eliminate the plague, but the patient's condition will not worsen after it stabilizes."

"Thank you very much." Lance did not act condescending. Instead, he stood up and guided her to another guest room.

"I understand what you want to know. I will tell you about the situation of [White Wolf's Claw]. Before I took over as lord, a group of bandits robbed the town..."

Lance was talking about the situation while fiddling with the fire and boiling water.

Greendale was also surprised when she saw this scene. In any case, he was the lord of the land, but she didn't expect that he was the only one in the whole room, without even a maid to serve him.

But soon she no longer cared about this and was completely attracted by the story.

When she heard that the tiger was being driven to devour the wolf, the tiger was instead eaten by the wolves, and the alpha wolf was about to win. Unstable spiritual agitation appeared all over Greendale's body. It seemed that her emotions were very depressed, and the pressure was rising crazily.

Fortunately, Lance didn't mean to whet her appetite. Soon he led the team to cut in, first attacked the barbarian gunmen, killed the leader of the wolf after a fierce battle, and finally used fire to completely wipe out the wolf group and survive. There are only a few white wolves.

"I have to say that the White Wolf Claw mercenary group led by the alpha wolf is very powerful. They are all elites. With more than thirty people and the wolves working closely together, they can rely on tactics and terrain to counterattack the artillery group.

Without us, I'm afraid he will annex the bandits and continue to grow, eventually destroying the town. "

Lance couldn't help but sigh, and drew the attention of Greendale who was enjoying listening to it. She noticed some flaws.

She knew the strength of the warriors of the Yalang Tribe, not to mention that the leader, Alpha Wolf, was definitely a [Champion] strong man, so how could he be defeated by these people?

Some things cannot be accomplished with just a few words. It is not that simple to kill a strong champion.

Of course, Lance noticed her questioning attitude, so he took out a few trophies without any nonsense.

The head wolf pendant, the wolf head statue, and the scroll were devoured by the wolf spirit and were scrapped.

"There is also a big wolf shield and a complete set of equipment over there in the exhibition hall. You can take a look for yourself. Facts don't lie."

Indeed, the facts will not lie. Greendale is no stranger to that disgusting power.

Lance took the kettle in a hurry, and the boiling hot water hit the delicate teapot. The tea leaves stretched out in the warmth, and a special tea fragrance came out.

Tea has appeared in this world, but it has always been a luxury product like spices. These were taken by him when he robbed the rich and gave to the poor in Totnes.

"Please~" Lance made tea and pushed the teacup over.

Greendale hesitated for a moment before taking off the mask, revealing her true face hidden under the mask.

To be honest, Lance was indeed a little curious about what he looked like under the mask, but he was just curious and was stunned until this moment.

Although they are both barbarians, Greendale is different from Boudica, the idiot with a ruthless face and a brain full of muscles.

Greendale's face looks gentle and soft, with a pair of emerald green eyes full of wisdom. Her long green hair falls loose when the mask is removed, full of vitality and vitality.

It seems to have some kind of magic power. Just one glance makes the whole person relax, giving people an inexplicable good feeling.

This is not witchcraft. He is completely immune to those things. What is special is his unique personal temperament.

"You are beautiful~" Lance praised sincerely, but then came back to his senses and said: "I know you are from the Lushou Tribe, and I also know some things about the Yalang Tribe."

This sentence caught Greendale off guard, but she quickly reacted.

"Did that barbarian warrior tell you?"

"You and I are both smart people. There is no need to test anything. If you have anything, just say it directly. I want you to stay and help me."
