Our family is in decline

"If you come to me as a friend, I will do my best to help you without even asking for payment, because your enemy is also my enemy.

But it's a pity that you don't regard me as a friend, but choose a transaction. "

"Do you think I'm short of money? Or am I short of something you can't even get your hands on? I just wanted to give you a chance after we met.

But what about you? "

Lance looked down at her, his dissatisfaction undisguised.

"You have disappointed me time and time again. You have not respected me even a little bit and taken the opportunities I gave you for granted. Have you forgotten who you are?"

Lance's words directly exposed her little thoughts. The straightforward words were so explicit that they didn't give her any face, and directly put her into a state of shame.

Tamara's overly "shrewd" character comes from the fact that she accidentally fell off the altar and then ran away and was hunted down by the Roma people.

The organization that was her backer and a sense of belonging suddenly turned into her enemy. This kind of living environment left her with no place to rely on and she had to survive on her own. For this reason, she did not hesitate to do anything, including scheming, abduction, and conspiracy. It can only be regarded as pediatrics.

Because in her mind, the organization that raised her up can "betray" her, so all feelings are fake, and only interests are real.

But in fact, her behavior of disbelieving no one is exactly a manifestation of lack of security. It is also her desire for security that makes her act so extreme.

It seems contradictory, but it is very reasonable, because only when something is lacking will we always emphasize something.

Lance's words caused her to fall into reflection.

How does this man treat himself?

And how did I treat him?

Tamara knew very well that she knew the man in front of her was a big fish when they first met.

Because every day there are ordinary people who are curious about the occult, and they only need to use some tricks and throw out a few pieces of garbage with stories to empty their wealth. For this, we should be grateful.

Not to mention that ring made her even more excited. Many of her collections were obtained this way.

She originally imagined that she would be able to get him to hand over the ring with a few words, but she did not expect that her trick would be discovered and she would suffer a big loss.

When Tamara was discovered, she was actually ready to take action, but she didn't expect that this person was not angry and instead invited her.

Naturally, she didn't believe these things, so she quickly threw out some information that everyone knew to confuse him, and then ran away.

The next encounter was already a life and death crisis. He rescued him and sent him here to recuperate. Along the way, he didn't mention what happened at that time to threaten or force him.

On the contrary, he didn't understand the current affairs and kept pestering her. Even if he didn't get angry, he was too good-tempered.

Except for the teacher, this was the first time that someone was so kind to her, but she took his kindness for granted and didn't cherish it.

What he said was right. The situation he has fallen into today is entirely his own fault.

Emotions such as regret and guilt should not appear in her heart, but at this moment they all flooded into her heart.

There was an opportunity in front of me but I didn't cherish it. I didn't realize it until I lost it...

"Okay, let's get up and talk business." Lance stretched out his hand to her.

This move made a look of surprise appear on Tamara's face, and she hurriedly stretched out her hands to grab it firmly.

"We're still friends, right?"

Lance was somewhat speechless after hearing her words, so he handed a stick and climbed up.

But he still pulled her up casually, and then corrected: "No, my friend is not so cheap, this is a deal."

As he spoke, he wanted to pull his hand away, but found that Tamara didn't want to let go at all. He looked up and saw that she was tear-stained, her eyes were red and watery, and she had a face that I felt pity for.

But Lance still opened her fingers expressionlessly, took out his hand neatly, and then moved away from her to move the things.

"I will do what I promised. I agreed to be the middleman for you and I will do it well. However, my things must not be missing. And for the deception you just made, you must pay more. In addition to the collection, the money is also mine."

I just said it, why did you take it seriously?

In the real world, brothers have to settle accounts openly, and you are not mine. How can you not give me money even if you ask me for help?

Although most of them are garbage, the three pieces of [Sunlight Ring], [Evil Buster], and [Legendary Bracers] are extraordinary equipment with real practical value and can directly enhance the strength of the team.

Although the [Saints' Torch] has lost most of its power, it is still possible to recover, which is also a good thing.

And who would complain that the money is too little? This is at least a thousand gold coins, not too much, but definitely a lot.

Do you want to default on your debt just because you said "friend"?

Are you kidding...

Tamara also knew that she was in the wrong, so she could only let Lance empty the things.

"By the way, tell me what's going on with the Omen Seeker organization, so I can help you talk about it." Lance picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground and got back to business.

When Tamara heard this, she did not speak directly, but seemed a little hesitant.

Her reaction was caught by Lance, who couldn't help but sneered and reminded: "They are the ones who want to kill you."

But suddenly she realized that she was no longer a member of the Omen Seekers, but a defector.

Tamara is actually a very troubled person. Her most glorious moments were obtained at that time, and people will always miss the glory of the past unconsciously.

For this reason, she poured all the hatred she had encountered into Amanda, thinking that it was this bitch who caused her to be like this and took away everything that belonged to her.

Instead of placing hatred on the Roma group, nor on the organization.

Therefore, she subconsciously still thinks that she is a member of the organization and still has feelings for the Roma people.

But Lance's words also made her understand that her fantasy was unrealistic.

"The Omen Seeker is a Roma..."

She had only mentioned it briefly before, but now she was explaining the organization in detail.

The main business of this thing is to sell information, and it also works part-time as an intermediary to communicate with all walks of life and resell extraordinary items.

The Omenseeker force, which has a solid base of Roma people, is also very powerful and can be found in every corner of the world. However, it also has the disadvantage that it is relatively conservative and has only Roma members.

However, it is precisely because of this structure that the Omen Seeker is still very stable internally. Tamara's situation is purely accidental.

"There are departments with different divisions of labor within the Omen Seeker. The top ones are several elders. Amanda's extraordinary talent is actually average. The one she belongs to specializes in strengthening combat capabilities and is responsible for solving the most difficult tasks."

Tamara can admit defeat to Lance, but she must not admit defeat to Amanda, even at this time, she does not forget to complain about her talent.

But this kind of "average" is only relative. From the moment the difference between the two's growing environments was widened, she couldn't beat Amanda. It can be seen that the talent gap between the two is not very big.

Under certain circumstances, all she could do was talk about this to save herself some face.

Lance was too lazy to expose her, but thought for a moment and asked, "Where is that sacred object? How important is it to them?"

Tamara didn't make any small moves at this moment, and took out the things honestly.

It was a palm-sized metal disc with a unique shape. The flat mirror surface was engraved with complicated patterns, and ordinary people could not understand the meaning contained in it.

"This is an astrolabe called the Astrologer. It is said that this thing was made from a piece of meteorite iron with magical power discovered by the ancestors of the Roma people from a place where meteorites fell. It is also matched with this piece. A crystal ball called the Stargazer. It is said that the combination of the two can peer into the truth of the universe."

Speaking of this, Tamara slowly exhaled and talked about the accident that year.

"My extraordinary talent is very good. For this reason, I was trained by a teacher who specializes in astrology. My studies were very smooth. Among the few people with me, no one could catch up with me. Even when I finished my studies, they still couldn't catch up with me. On the wasted theory.

Until I borrowed this set of sacred objects from the teacher, I wanted to use the power of the sacred objects to conduct a formal astrological ceremony and become a real astrologer. This also meant that I officially became a member of the Omen Seekers. A perfect ending.

The ceremony went smoothly at first, but..."

As she spoke, Tamara suddenly stopped, and there was fear in her expression.

"But what?" Lance heard it just right. How uncomfortable would it be to be stuck by you?

"I..." Tamara hesitated for a moment, but finally said it, "I saw a sphere suspended in the black void shatter, and an indescribable mass of flesh and blood emerged from the sphere..."

After hearing this description, Lance was suddenly shocked, his body felt like an electric shock, and the muscles in his limbs were numb.

Fortunately, he restrained himself from showing too obvious a reaction.

Now he finally understood how terrifying the talent that Tamara had always boasted about was, because the sphere she saw was the planet under her feet, and the mass of flesh and blood was the sleeping ancient god.

That is, the person that the ancestor coveted, and he did not hesitate to commit so many crimes for this reason, and always wanted to replace him.

The shattering of the planet is the ending scene that must appear in the game.

It made it clear that no matter whether he killed the ancestor or stopped his actions, the ancient god was destined to wake up when the stars returned.

This planet will eventually fall into destruction. No matter how it resists, it will eventually fall into deep and dark despair.

She actually predicted this.

I don’t know why Lance subconsciously thought of a sentence: So she came to Hamlet!

And this sentence echoed in my mind uncontrollably.

Yes, she comes to Hamlet because she sees it.

A certain fatalism appeared in Lance's mind, and he felt that it was fate that Tamara came here.

Lance suppressed his messy thoughts. Things like the stars returning to the world and destroying the world were still too far away. It might be tomorrow, or it might be millions of years later.

Likewise, fate, fate, and mission are too illusory.

Now Lance only understands one thing, that Tamara is a talent and a key to salvation.

After realizing the importance of Tamara, he originally just wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at her collection, but now Lance wants to include her in his big plan.

"...The scene just flashed by, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I learned from them that I was out of control. Several elders were also present to control the situation, but soon I stopped When I received the news, I was..."

While Lance was brainstorming, she was still talking about what happened at that time, but Tamara soon noticed something strange about him.

"Any questions?"

"You can't return the sacred object!" Lance came back to his senses, looked at Tamara again with determination in his eyes, and spoke out.

"Huh?" Tamara was a little off guard.

If you don't return the sacred object, how can you make the Omen Seeker give up chasing him without this prerequisite?

This is a request you have been emphasizing just now. Why are you denying it so soon?

Tamara's ability must be related to those two sacred objects. If he really wants to return them, there will be no chance of contact with them again, unless he really leads troops to kill the Roma and take them back.

But this is very unrealistic for wandering peoples all over the world. There are even many branches. How do you find the exact location on the opposite side?

So you have to keep part of it in hand to have a chance to pursue the other part.

Moreover, he must protect Tamara. No one knows what role she will play.

Damn it, Lance suddenly realized that what he just said was too full, and instead took the initiative to cut off the relationship between the two. He didn't know how to explain the excuse for not cutting in.

"Hmm... I'm thinking about something." Lance paused for a moment before explaining, "I underestimated the power of the Omen Seekers before. If they are really as powerful as you said, when you return the sacred object It's your day of death. Even if I don't kill you directly, I can kill you with a curse from the air. Even I won't be able to save you by then.

On the contrary, only when the thing is in your hands will they be wary, because they don't know the exact situation of the sacred object, and your death means that the clues are completely lost. "

When the relationship between the two is estranged and there is no way to bring them closer, the easiest way is to establish a common enemy.

It's obvious that this is what Lance is doing, putting all the blame on the Omen Seeker, even if the reality is not that simple.

Tamara, who originally distrusted Amanda, agreed after hearing this.

"Yes, I feel the same way, but wouldn't there be no possibility of relaxation between me and them..."

Tamara was really tired. She had defected in order to steal the sacred objects in one go, and then after so many years of pursuit, she wanted to stop, but this was not something she could decide.

"Have you ever killed anyone from the Omen Seeker? Or a Roma?" Lance looked at her and reminded: "Don't tell lies to me~"

"No!" Tamara hurriedly denied, "In any case, I am familiar with their methods, and they are covered by sacred objects. Only Amanda who is performing tasks outside can catch up with me."

"That means that essentially there is no serious conflict between you and the organization." Lance finally understood why Amanda's attitude towards Tamara was so nonchalant.

Because maybe to the Omen Seeker, Tamara is just a little mouse that escaped, and no one even internally remembers this former genius.
