Our family is in decline

At this point, Greendale stopped, and a look of disgust and even hatred appeared on her face unconsciously, but she could not hide the fear.

"Elaborate." After talking for so long, he finally met the key character in the story, and Lance's attention couldn't help but be mobilized.

Greendale didn't seem to want to recall too much about the huge figure wearing wolf skin, but she continued after a slight pause.

"We haven't seen each other since the last time we met. In the past few years, Wolf Warrior has become even crazier. Of course, his power has also become terrifying..."

As the Wolf God's personal choice, War Wolf showed his due strength in this massacre, and the soldiers of the Lushou Tribe could not even stop him.

After receiving the blessing of the Wolf God, he became very resistant to various negative conditions. In the end, those secret techniques passed down by the tribe were not very lethal and had little effect on him.

Not to mention that the Lushou Tribe has always been a small tribe, with less than a thousand members. It has no resistance at all against the long-dormant Langya Tribe.

Originally, we could buy some time for the old and the weak to evacuate, but under the crazy slaughter of the wolf warriors, the defense line collapsed.

The Yalang tribe has completed the encirclement, and judging from their appearance, it is obvious that they do not intend to let anyone go.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the tribal priest immediately told Greendale to escape and avenge the tribe.

The priest himself activated the forbidden technique, and the power of the forbidden technique tore through the encirclement, and the priest also used this to entangle the wolf.

However, the cost of performing this forbidden technique is huge, that is, the tendency of the body to become a plant is inevitable, but the priest did not hesitate and continued to use his life to block the enemy and open a way...

Greendale did not go into details and seemed to be in a daze.

But even guys like Boudica who were expelled from the tribe and wandered around knew the news that the Wolf Warriors had won and the Deer Head Tribe was destroyed. As for the priest, she was probably gone, and the entire tribe escaped by herself.

Greendale escaped, but her soul remained on that tragic battlefield forever. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the bloody, cruel and despair-filled scenes, and she couldn't help but hold the staff tightly in her hand until her knuckles turned white.

"Thorns? Just like you did before?" Lance remembered that she seemed to be holding out thorns from her hands.

"This is a piece of equipment made by combining the secret techniques of our tribe. It can grow controlled bloodthirsty thorns. When the thorns catch prey, they will drain the blood and feed it back to nourish the body; but if it is consumed too much and no supplies are obtained, it will absorb the blood. Own blood.”

Isn't it just that the enemy's blood will be sucked if it hits, but the blood will be deducted if it misses? Looking at the thing, Lance only felt an evil nature. Sure enough, extraordinary power is not simple, and it usually has various sequelae.

While speaking, Greendale took the initiative to stretch out her right hand to roll up her sleeve.

Lance's eyes followed the pulled up cuffs, but a bloody and strange scene appeared just at the wrist.

A bracelet made of thorns was worn on the wrist, but the spikes on it penetrated directly into the skin, leaving many scars on it.

When Lance saw this, he remembered why he had taken away so much spiritual energy when he rescued her. It turned out that his body was seriously deficient.

At that time, the situation was so urgent that I couldn't even care about it, so I didn't react.

But it stands to reason that he had already cured her physical injuries before, so why would she still have them?

Lance thought for a moment and realized that these injuries should be the scars caused by the backlash of the thorns during this period of time when she had no prey to feed, and could only feed with her own blood.

"Didn't I tell you if you need anything? You treated me for the plague, do I need you to feed the flesh and blood of thorns?" As he spoke, Lance reached out and gently held Greendale's right hand, and activated his skills to eliminate the injuries on it. .

Greendale didn't resist, or she was still in a trance. Her hand was grabbed before she could react, and the scars on it were healed just between breaths.

"We are companions. If you have anything to say, you must speak out. Even if I can't help solve it, I can at least share the burden." Lance didn't act too presumptuously. After completing the treatment, he let go of her hand, but he didn't forget to warn her.

"Well..." Greendale withdrew her hand without saying anything, feeling the pain in her wrist being eliminated, leaving only the warm residual warmth.

Lance also sensed something was wrong, so he didn't want to cool down the situation, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Aren't you friends with many tribes? Why didn't you seek their help instead of coming to the empire?"

"If our tribe faces an attack but still holds on, as long as a word gets out, countless tribes will come to help us fight against the Yalang tribe.

If our tribe falls in the face of an attack by the Yalang tribe, but some tribesmen survive, there will still be many tribes willing to accept and protect us.

But it's a pity that the Yalang tribe also knew these things, so they had no intention of leaving us alive when they started the attack.

And when I was the only one left to go to those tribes for help, there was a high probability that no tribe would be willing to protect me, because after escaping, I was still facing the pursuit of the Yalang tribe, and the Wolf Warriors would not let me go.

No tribe would be willing to start a war with the Yalang Tribe just because of one person, especially when the Yalang Tribe gets the heritage of our tribe and its strength greatly increases.

After losing the protection of the tribe, it was no longer safe to stay in the mountains. The only way to get rid of the mad dog was to flee to the empire. "

Lance understood, and couldn't help but sigh. Greendale was worthy of being trained as the next generation of priests, and she could calmly analyze the situation under such circumstances.

The meaning of this is very simple. If the Lushou tribe defends, then they will be happy to help the Lushou tribe against the enemy, whether it is for past favors or future investments.

If you fail to defend but partially escape, you will still have the power to come back. As long as you provide shelter, you can provide your tribe with precious herbs and medical capabilities. Many tribes are willing to do this.

But it is a pity that the Yalang tribe also knew this situation, so the war was a massacre, and there was no intention to leave any survivors from the beginning.

Greendale's escape was entirely the result of other people's desperate cover, environmental advantages, and unreplicable luck.

Then when she is the only one left, other tribes will have to weigh the benefits of protecting her and the risk of offending the Yalang tribe.

After all, the relationship between tribes all depends on interests, or the basis of all relationships is interests. When the interests are far from making up for the risks, why should other tribes help you?

friendship?

Don't be kidding, friendship can't be used as food?

What's more, having a background is called friendship, but without a background, it's called a burden.

If she blindly found other tribes at that time, it might be better to send her away from her own territory. If she encountered some bad tribes, she would probably be captured to collect the reward.

In the process of escaping, Greendale knew that it was impossible to count on the barbarian tribes in the mountains.

So to a certain extent, the clearer her thinking is, the more she understands that her hope of revenge is slim, and the more desperate she feels. The pressure brought by the mixed emotions almost crushes her.

Lance understood what she had suffered, but she was not defeated. Now that she was in front of him, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

"So the empire you came to found a witch. What is your relationship with her?"

"She used to be the witch of our tribe. When I chose the substitute priest, I actually took her place."

In Greendale's description, the witch was also a genius before. She was selected and started to train, but later she chose to stay in the empire and did not go back when she went through the wandering medical process.

People from the tribe also looked for her, but they didn't know what happened, so they left it alone and the matter was never mentioned again.

She knew more about Grendel as a preparatory priest, and she also knew that the witch's position was in Hamlet.

After escaping to the empire, she naturally sought out witches with whom she was related by blood, seeking a chance for revenge or respite.

It's just that although she has been to the Empire, she has never been to Hamlet. She didn't know that this place had fallen into this place in the past ten years, and one of the people of her race who was one of her hopes had also turned into a witch, and she didn't even care about her fellow race's feelings. To hurt her.

Lance didn't have any obvious reaction to this. He had read the notes left by the witch and probably guessed a little bit.

The witch and the ancestor got together. I can only say that the old guy is really good at picking up girls, and even the barbarian witches can win.

But there's something wrong with what she said.

"What does the witch want from you?"

Sure enough, Greendale fell into silence after hearing this question.

Lance had fought against witches before. With her strength, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill Greendale, but looking at the traces left on the ground, it was obvious that she wanted to consume her and capture her alive.

In other words, the witch definitely wanted to get something from her, but it couldn't kill her.

After a moment of silence, Greendale seemed to believe Lance and slowly revealed a hidden situation.

"Our tribe has transactions with major tribes in the mountains and even the empire, and we often act as intermediaries to make profits. Even I don't know how much wealth we have accumulated over the years.

These things were not placed in the camp, but in the treasure house, a location that only the priests knew, and only the priests knew how to enter the treasure house.

As a former witch, she probably knew something about it and wanted to get the tribe's inheritance. "

"If it is true, it is indeed a coveted treasure. As long as you get it, you will be instantly rich, but you are lying to me~"

Lance suddenly said something, and with a playful expression on his face, he added a sentence to explain the doubt.

"You and I both know that the witch doesn't care about money, because it means nothing to her."

If Lance hadn't read the witch's notes, he would have been deceived by her.

After seeing the power of the ancient god, the witch went crazy. Her mind was filled with thoughts on how to survive in the doomsday. Money was as meaningless to her as the leaves on the ground.

"She is indeed coveting the tribe's heritage." Greendale's expression was particularly calm and even a little deliberate, and she did not show any obvious reaction because of these words.

"The witch may indeed want to get the tribe's inheritance, but it is definitely not the treasure." Lance's eyes swept over Greendale, and finally stopped on the antlered staff, "If I guessed correctly, the witch wants to It should be this staff."

"Then why didn't she just kill me and take the staff?"

"Hahaha! Did you forget that I killed the wolf and got the equipment of the wolf tribe from him?" Lance couldn't help laughing and pointed out the key point.

"Everyone knows that there are restrictions on this important equipment. She is naturally not qualified to use it after leaving the tribe. That's why she kept you and wanted to force you to obey the method of handing over the staff."

As he spoke, Lance thought about it for a moment and then directly stated the ability of the staff.

"If I'm not wrong, this staff should be able to accelerate the growth of plants, help the witch expand corruption, and cultivate more germs. That's why she is so interested in it."

When Greendale said this, she couldn't pretend anymore, and her eyes trembled slightly when she looked at Lance.

Greendale chose to take the initiative to reveal the treasure trove because she wanted to use the tribal heritage to stimulate Lance and let him send troops as soon as possible.

She couldn't wait for five days, not to mention five years.

But now it was obvious that Lance was not fooled, and he almost pulled her panties out after just a few words.

She could only emphasize one more thing about the current situation.

"The treasure house does exist. It contains everything our tribe has accumulated. No one except me knows how to find it. Even if I find it, only I can open it. As long as you can kill the War Wolf and wipe out the Yalang tribe, everything will be your."

"It seems you still don't believe me..." Lance knew from her reaction when she changed the subject that he had probably guessed it right.

The reason why she said this is also very simple. She probably wants to use the treasure in the treasure house to tempt her to send troops.

If there was no ancestor, he might really be fooled, but as long as the old thing is still there, he can't waste time on other things.

Because once the ancestor successfully awakens the ancient god, everything in the world will lose its meaning.

Not to mention that he is not short of money now. No matter what era, the most precious thing is always people, and the people he trains can only be used first to fight against the ancestors.

"I can understand your current mood, but I can tell you clearly that I will destroy the Yalang tribe regardless of whether there is the treasure house you mentioned, because our agreement will take effect from the moment you join.

But before that, I need to solve the trouble in the territory first, otherwise everything will be meaningless. "

Lance didn't force her to tell everything because it was unrealistic.

You must understand that the two parties have only known each other for a few days, and they only came together because of the same interests. Moreover, she is not a brainless person like Boudica. On the contrary, she has a very smart mind, and she was only blinded by revenge before.

"That's it for these things. Everyone has his own secrets, and so do I. I know you have many questions about Hamlet, and I will answer them for you.

Let's start with what the witch told you. What did she tell you? "

Lance's words took the initiative to change the topic, and Greendale's nervous mood eased slightly, but her expression was a little unnatural when talking about this.

"She told me that underneath Hamlet was..."
