Our family is in decline

Lance froze in place for a long time without making any move, but Geralt on the other side was eroded by uneasiness.

After the monster fell, he was unsure of the attitude of the man in front of him, especially when he saw the monster disappear inexplicably, which heightened his vigilance.

This method...could it be that the person in front of me is also a wizard?

At this moment, Wangcai emerged from the darkness on the side, holding a severed arm in his mouth and holding a special pendant on it.

The appearance of Wangcai made Geralt nervous. He had hunted many extraordinary creatures, and he could tell at a glance that this wolf species with its unique shape and special hair was different from ordinary wild wolves.

But soon he could see that the white wolf and the visitor seemed to be from the same group, but this only deepened his doubts.

A youthful appearance, a huge sword, a weird secret technique, a white wolf with extraordinary bloodline...

When Geralt looked at the battle scene just now, he didn't dare to say that he could beat the opponent. This kind of strength was definitely not unknown, but he didn't know anyone on the mainland who could match him.

"Very good." Lance looked at Wangcai who was asking for credit and took out the dried meat to replace the broken arm.

His attention also shifted to the broken arm, or the blood-stained pendant.

Holding the triangular pendant in your hand, you can see that the ferocious shape is somewhat evil, but the abundant spirituality on it shows that it is a good thing.

Soon Lance discovered the weird statue on the ground. He could feel that it was a bit weird, but he couldn't be affected. Instead, he picked it up and threw it into the showroom.

No matter what it is, once it goes into his pocket, it belongs to him.

With a lot of gifts, skill upgrades and extraordinary equipment, he knew that this trip was worth it.

As for the three strangers?

Lance looked back and looked at the three people. He could see that they all had traces of spirituality, that is, they were all extraordinary people with extraordinary talents and knew how to use spirituality.

You can tell from their state that they have had a fight with a monster, but you don’t know what the situation was like at that time.

"Are you guys okay?"

Lance put away his giant sword and walked towards the three of them. The expression on his face became much gentler, without the madness of fighting the monster just now.

It's just that he didn't mean to treat the three of them. He couldn't use spirituality on outsiders because he needed to use it sparingly.

Geralt is not sure whether this person is an enemy or a friend. The most feared thing among extraordinary people is hunting each other. Their current state is not good.

But Lance's gesture of taking the initiative to put away his weapon still slightly eased the atmosphere between the two.

"What do you think?" Tamara regained her breath. Although she was still very weak, her mouth was still as tough as when they first met.

Lance couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this, "Okay, it's good to be alive. By the way, how did you provoke such a monster? What's the origin of this thing?"

"Who knows what this guy signed a contract with, and he turned into this ghost after casting a spell." As she spoke, Tamara remembered that she had encountered two consecutive battles nearby, and her expression felt a little strange. She couldn't help but complain, "This ghost place It’s really evil…”

"He is a wanted criminal in Totnes. The nun and I chased him here and had a fight." Geralt saw that the two people seemed to know each other, and the pressure in his heart was relieved. He opened the topic and told the wizard's situation. .

I have to say that compared to Tamara's nonsense, the words of the man with golden eyes in front of him were more concise and clear. The two things he mentioned made Lance curious.

"Hello, I'm Lance." Lance took the initiative to extend his hand to show goodwill.

"Geralt, thank you for your help." Geralt looked cold, but he was not a fool.

The name seemed familiar to Lance, but he couldn't remember what it was. Now was not the time to talk about it. After a brief handshake, Lance glanced at the nun who was already lying down.

"There is a small town ahead. Let's settle down and talk about anything. It's a bit dangerous for you to stay here like this."

After Lance said that, he helped Tamara up and wanted to take her to the carriage, but he never thought that she would struggle to get up and scream towards the ground.

"My baby..."

Lance strangely picked up the strange-shaped torch on the ground. It was a mortal object, otherwise he would have seen it just now.

I don’t understand why Tamara is so precious.

But when Tamara got it, she found that all the spirituality on it was gone, and she instantly looked ashen.

You have to know this but... Tamara can't even cry now while holding the torch. It's simply more uncomfortable than killing her.

"As for that~" Lance was a little speechless, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense and just threw the person into the car.

As for the nun, after a little hesitation, she also threw her into the car.

"Ouch~"

Wangcai's howl interrupted Lance's thoughts. When he looked up, he found that it had pulled out a person from the weeds on the roadside.

Lance looked at him and saw that he was still alive, but fell into a coma. His appearance and clothing did not look like an Imperial person.

"It was with the wizard. There was an internal fight between them."

Geralt added without Lance asking.

Originally, Lance wanted to find out why there were traces of his ancestor on the wizard, so this person couldn't be left here to die.

He threw it into the car and drove away. Geralt got on his horse with difficulty and followed.

Along the way, Lance also learned about the situation from Geralt's mouth. As for Tamara, she was still holding a torch in the carriage and had not recovered.

"What happened to Totnes? Why is that wizard wanted?"

"I don't know. I came over after seeing a bounty nearby, but I heard in the guild that it was related to the recent Evil Fallen incident in Totnes."

The Evil Fallen...Lance thought for a moment, couldn't his ancestor have anything to do with this?

Now if you want to know more, you have to wait until the woman wakes up.

"We're here, there's a small town ahead."

Lance would not be stopped by the soldiers when he came forward, and Geralt only realized that the terrifying young man in front of him was the lord of this place when he heard the names of the soldiers.

Lance took Geralt to the hotel in the town, which was actually the second floor of the tavern, and arranged rooms for them. Of course, he had to pay for it himself.

"You can rest and do activities in the town, but remember, don't interfere with the lives of the locals at will. Hamlet prohibits violence, let alone death. If you encounter trouble, you can find me near the central square of the town. You can remind her when she wakes up. Hit her."

Geralt nodded in agreement. This was not a very strict rule, but it showed that the security here was good.

After all, most towns in the empire adopt a laissez-faire attitude. As long as things don't make a big deal, it doesn't matter. As for the death of a few ordinary people, it's not a big deal.

Geralt and the nun stayed at the hotel, but Tamara was unwilling to leave her carriage at all, but that was right, the space inside her carriage was much more comfortable than the hotel.

But Lance didn't feel comfortable letting her run around.

"Let's go, my house is quite big."

Leave a place for her carriage in the front yard and let Wangcai keep an eye on it. After all, he is wary of these extraordinary beings.

As for the fellow wizard, he directly lifted him out and dragged him towards the room.

"Boss, why didn't you wait for me?" Boudicca heard the noise and came out. Seeing Lance holding a person in his hand, he couldn't help but came over curiously, "Did you catch something?"

Unlike others, she has no relatives here and simply lives here.

Disma had already alerted her when she came back, but Lance had already run away by the time she came out.

"You came just in time, help me take off her clothes and change into casual clothes." Lance handed the person over.

When Boudica grabbed the woman and saw this guy's ordinary face, a hint of disgust immediately appeared, and she complained indifferently.

"Why does the boss like this? He doesn't look handsome at all."

Lance was speechless and had no choice but to explain.

"Don't talk nonsense. She is a wizard and is very dangerous. Please keep an eye on me and don't let her hide anything. If she runs away, I will settle the account with you."

Lance had a black line on his face and hurriedly walked out without saying anything.

This matter is not over so easily. The situation on Disma's side must be understood first, and the town's defense must be carefully arranged.

The monster carrying the power of the ancestors appeared near Hamlet just when he had wiped out a cult camp. If it was such a coincidence, he would not believe it.

Disma had seen the wizard's methods. Although he had absolute confidence in the lord, he also understood that the lord's words before leaving meant to be wary of luring the tiger away from the mountain, so after the report, he did not go to the tavern or brothel, but stayed in the military camp. side.

"grown ups!"

"The matter has been resolved. Don't worry. You can tell me what happened along the way first."

Disma breathed a sigh of relief, and most of the pressure in his heart was relieved, but his expression was still a little strange when he mentioned this.

"The letter was not delivered because when I rushed there, the city was captured by refugees. I asked some people who escaped and found out that most of the nobles were killed or escaped."

"What!" Lance showed a hint of surprise. He had thought about many situations, but this was the only one he didn't expect.

After all, it is a city. It is garrisoned by city defense troops, but even relying on the city wall can't stand it. Isn't this a bit...

"Are there any signs of a monster appearing?"

The situation was so abnormal that Lance couldn't help but think of what happened to Barton. It would be much more normal if supernatural powers were involved.

"I made some inquiries nearby, and the soldiers who captured the city said they were refugees, but I heard people who escaped from the war zone say that the refugees were well-equipped, and their weapons were even better than those of the city defense army.

And as soon as they took action, an insider seized the city gate. The whole operation was definitely not done by ordinary refugees, but more like a regular army under the banner of refugees. "

Disma's words made Lance fall into deep thought. There was an empire in front of them that allowed drought-stricken refugees to live. It was probably not that they didn't want to save them, but that they couldn't save them.

Totnes' reaction, the emergence of the Harvest Cult, and now a large number of cities have been captured and the nobles have fled...

It seems that the internal conflicts within the empire cannot be suppressed anymore. This catastrophe is just the trigger.

"Alas, troubled times are coming, how many people will die..."

Lance sighed with emotion. The situation of ordinary people during the chaotic period of the feudal dynasty was just an insignificant statement in the history books before, but now he has seen the tragic situation in the refugee camp and felt it deeply.

He dared not say anything else, but he was sure that the war zone was definitely more terrifying than the refugee camp, where human lives and weeds were trampled almost casually.

Although Hamlet is on the edge of the empire, no one knows whether the war will spread here.

Even if there is no war, the chaos caused by the fleeing refugees is still unacceptable.

Because death and chaos will increase the ancestor's strength, he will not allow this to happen.

With an urgent crisis before him, Lance quickly determined his goal and began to prepare for the impact. Hamlet must not be allowed to get into chaos.

At the same time, he speeded up the dungeon strategy. He would not be able to let go while the ancestor was still alive.

…………

Although Lance knew some things from Geralt, he still had doubts about the authenticity, so he boarded her carriage directly after returning.

Tamara was lying in the carriage, looking very weak. It seemed that she had not recovered from the battle just now. She also acted very casually towards Lance's intrusion.

She was not stupid, especially after seeing that terrifying power. Even if she had a strong temper, she would not be able to play tricks on Lance. She could only secretly feel sad for the loss of this trip.

"Drink it, it will make you feel better." Lance took out a bottle of potion, took a sip himself, and then handed it over.

Tamara knew that Lance's move was to prove that the potion was harmless, but she couldn't help but hesitate when she took the potion.

No matter how she said it, she was well-informed, and she could judge the type of ordinary medicines at a glance, but she really didn't know what the water-like medicine in front of her was.

After a moment's hesitation, I took a small sip. It tasted just like salt. What kind of potion was this?

But at this moment, an inexplicable force emerged in his body, and the severe headache was relieved a lot.

Tamara couldn't help but look at Lance with doubts, but met the smiling face.

"This is a good thing, how could I lie to you?" Lance took back the remaining half of the bottle.

This thing is actually salt water, and what acts on Tamara's body is the refreshing effect brought about by the strengthening of a small amount of [Blessing].

It was just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, because the root cause was the trauma to her body and soul, and it was impossible for Lance to cure her directly.

"Thank you..." Tamara also realized that she seemed to have missed something. She should have just drank it in one gulp.

Just thinking about it, my head started to hurt again, and I couldn't help but frown.

"We're all friends, there's no need to be like this, but I didn't expect that it would be like this when we meet again."

Lance wanted to know more from her, so his attitude towards getting to the topic was naturally gentle and he was playing the emotional card.

"Speaking of which, why did you come here? How did you end up like this?"

Some people said that the plot has been relatively dull recently, and this paragraph is actually used as a transition to connect to the next dungeon and introduce some characters and world view.

Geralt is just a request from readers. He exists as an Easter egg character and has not been integrated into the world view of the Witcher. Don't worry, everyone, it is mainly about the dungeon itself.
