Our family is in decline

Lance had always had a very good attitude towards them and even made concessions to them in order not to affect Ancestor Qian in this matter.

But giving in in this crazy world makes them feel weak. Now that they are tough, they don't even dare to say shit.

If Amanda still had some hope, Tamara's sensitive nerves were instantly provoked.

She had been hunted by the Omen Seekers, and even almost died several times. This was a fact.

After being on the run for so many years, she was hunted down even in her sleep and dreams, but she had the most peaceful sleep since coming here.

After being separated from the organization for so many years, the authority of the elders did not have much influence on her.

Tamara didn't speak, but she sat next to Lance, and her attitude was self-evident.

The old woman couldn't hold back anymore when she saw this. One of her purposes for coming here was to take Tamara back, but now she completely pushed her to his side.

As for the other one, although he has not taken any action, the seeds of doubt have been planted. Choosing neutral at this time is already a statement.

She just felt that she had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and now she wanted to curse the man in front of her, even if it cost her life.

But what can she do?

Just like Lance said, she was sitting here because she couldn't beat him, let alone that she did it first.

You can only pay for the sins you have committed.

"This is all my fault and has nothing to do with the organization, and it has nothing to do with the Roma people."

The old woman had completely put down her pretensions as an elder and just wanted to end this matter quickly.

And Lance finally softened his attitude.

"I agree that they should go with you, but I have a request."

When Lance said this, Tamara and Amanda reacted a bit wrong. Didn't they agree not to use themselves as bargaining chips?

The old woman looked at Lance, and it seemed that she didn't have much hope. Just like she was teasing him before, what she received would be an unacceptable condition...

"I want their safety to be guaranteed, at least they will not be punished internally by you, because the two of them are just staying here for a few days. Tamara has nothing to do with you long ago, and Amanda has not betrayed you, nor has she What secrets were revealed?"

Is this a requirement? The old woman actually understood that Lance was trying to pretend to be a good person, but whether he was pretending or not, she had to agree to it.

"As an elder, I guarantee that your safety is guaranteed. I am here to rescue you. The organization has never meant to secretly execute you, not now, nor in the future."

I have to say that the identity of the elder makes these words somewhat convincing, but Tamara and her two people's attention is not on this.

Noticing something strange about the two of them, Lance had no choice but to explain to them.

"Okay, you can't stay here all your life and not go out. Just clear up the misunderstanding. There is no need to have conflicts with your family. Do you really want to fight to the death? There is no point in doing so."

Lance said this was very practical, and also explained the reason why he agreed. The two of them could not stay in Hamlet forever, and this ridiculous internal fight was completely unnecessary.

With these words and his request to ensure his safety just now, the two of them couldn't help but feel inexplicable emotions at this moment.

I shouldn't doubt him...

"The conflict between you ends here. The elders agree to this, right?"

"Yes, let bygones be bygones between you two, the fault was not yours in the first place." The old woman agreed, and she backed down after this incident anyway.

She knew that she had lost, and all her hearts had been lost to him.

But so what? Nothing can change their Roma identity.

As long as you take people back and educate them slowly, I believe they will understand you in the future.

"Although I agree, the choice is still in their hands. Whether they leave or not is their own business."

Lance used his prestige to pave the way for the two of them. As for whether to go or not, it was their business. It seemed that the choice was completely handed over to them.

"Come back, child, misunderstanding has separated us for too long. You are all the pride of the Roma people." The old woman put on a heartbroken look, believing that she could take the two away quickly due to racial justice.

"I'll give you the holy thing, but I won't leave." Tamara didn't hesitate much. She had never accepted this trick after having been in society.

She is a talkative person, so how could she not know what all this nonsense means? It is simply useless.

As for staying in Hamlet, it was not unacceptable to her. She was tired from running and just needed a rest. She was very satisfied with everything here.

What's more, everyone can see that Hamlet's strength continues to increase, and the scope of actual control will become larger and larger. She knows that according to the way of survival of the Roma people, she will not provoke a powerful force in order to kill herself, because handing over the Saint There is no extreme contradiction after the thing.

As for the racial issue, there are all kinds of strange people around the lord, including mountain barbarians and Levantine people, including himself, a Roma.

Tamara's statement was too quick, not to mention the old woman, even Lance didn't react.

This was different from what was promised before. Her importance in Lance's heart dropped rapidly after she handed over the sacred object.

However, Lance was a little surprised that she would choose him, and he felt recognized.

Amanda thought she knew Tamara very well, and knew that she was still struggling with what happened back then and wanted to prove herself very much, and getting the support of the elders when she returned this time was the opportunity she had been longing for.

But she gave up this opportunity at this time. What was she thinking?

This made Amanda a little shaken. She knew that according to her teacher's character, if she failed the mission, she would probably not be reused even if she went back. She would even suspect that she had leaked and would suppress and exclude her.

Maybe staying was a good choice for him, because he couldn't see the way back clearly, but the man's attitude was very clear.

Tamara expressed her position directly, while Amanda watched silently. Their attitudes directly gave the old woman the worst blow.

Aren't you Roma? Aren’t you people cultivated by the organization?

What about loyalty?

Why did he change into someone else's shape after just a few days here?

Originally, at the elders' meeting, he vowed that he would resolve the matter and at the same time bring back Tamara, who has a special talent.

But now it is a complete failure...

Is the organization really that bad?

It is indeed nonsense. She herself is an elder in the organization and enjoys being worshiped by the people below. But between the two of them, one has been hunted by the organization for many years, and the other is doing the most tiring and painful tasks, and is also suspected by her own people. Who can take the responsibility? Stay.

"I discovered that you have made a mistake. This is not a confrontational matter. Choosing one does not mean rejecting the other.

You are my friend here, will you not be when you go back? We can still be friends, and Hamlet still welcomes you.

The elder is right. No matter what, you are all Roma. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why are you struggling with such a simple matter? You can go back freely and do what you like. "

As he spoke, Lance turned to look at the old woman and said with a smile, "Presumably the organization will not prevent your return, right elder~"

Lance's words broke the weird atmosphere on the field, and everyone reacted.

Dual opposition and black-and-white thinking have trapped their vision, but they have forgotten that there is not only confrontation in the world, but also cooperation and normal communication.

Now even the old woman couldn't help but realize that she had always treated him as an enemy in confrontational exchanges, but in fact was it possible that there was no need for confrontation between the two parties?

This reminded her of the first time the two parties communicated. His attitude was indeed very good. He neither threatened the two of them nor made a fuss about his strong personal strength.

On the contrary, I thought I looked down on him and changed his attitude from a show of kindness to a warning. If it weren't for my stupid attack, I'm afraid it wouldn't have caused such serious losses to the organization.

Until just now, the old woman had felt that the two of them were being coerced into making this choice, but now it seems that this is not the case, but rather due to pure personality charm.

Because now even I am convinced.

I didn’t lose unfairly...

If the previous admissions of defeat were just due to strength, then this time it was simply a matter of heartfelt submission.

In front of this man, it seemed that all conspiracies and tricks were useless. He was standing here, upright.

But don't forget that Tamara had discussed with Lance before that she wanted to get something when she returned. Since it was mentioned, she showed it.

"It's very simple to want me to go back. You have to make up for my missing resources, and there is another sacred object for me to use. I will definitely prove that I am not wrong!"

After hearing these requests, the old woman couldn't help but turn to look at Lance, because these were mentioned in the first communication before, and she thought it was a provocation to herself.

But what are her options now?

"Okay, I promise you..."

Soon, the whereabouts of the two people were decided, and the old woman agreed simply. She originally thought that she would pay a certain price to bring them back, but now the price is almost nothing.

Because the two of them are Roma, it is equivalent to the investment returning to their own pockets.

But she was still confused, this man couldn't just ask for nothing, right?

Otherwise, why would you have made those three requests at the beginning?

"You go back and prepare. The elder and I still have some things to discuss."

Tamara and the two left quickly, and the room became quiet again.

Lance can't be a bad person. Everything he does has a purpose, which has not been revealed until now.

Sending the two back is to create two more bridges between himself and the Roma people. As the two grow in the organization, this relationship will become stronger.

He does not value immediate benefits, but values ​​long-term benefits.

That's why Lance had to use his power to help them clear the way.

So what if the old woman knew about their relationship?

If she attacks both of them after she returns, she will completely push them towards her, and Lance will accept it all.

If it was really secretly eliminated, then Lance would have an excuse. Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living.

In other words, no matter what, when the old woman showed up here to choose peace talks, she had already lost and entered the trap that had been designed long ago.

"what do you want?"

"It's very simple. You Roma are going to withdraw from the empire. I will take what you can't take away. I also want a detailed map of the empire."

"How did you know we were leaving?"

The old woman was a little surprised. She had only told the person in charge about this situation, and it had just been decided. It couldn't be...

Fortunately, Lance then explained the reason and did not make her doubt any longer.

"Now that the situation in the empire is getting more and more chaotic, I don't think you will stay."

Everyone knows the Roma's ability to run away, and their style doesn't even need to be guessed. If they don't run, how can they stay and join the war? This is not their habit.

So everything they can't take away, whether it's materials or channels, will be of great help to Lance.

"Of course I'll give you the money."

Lance was not trying to oppress and exploit them, but was using trading methods. After all, they would still have to cooperate in the future.

The gold coins opened the way for the old woman to feel the kindness released by Lance. She could exchange money for something she had to give up, which was nothing to refuse.

Then the two discussed this matter in detail and soon reached a cooperation.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. I hope there won't be any misunderstandings in our first cooperation." Lance stretched out his hand to the old woman.

The old woman stretched out her hand, "Of course, we attach great importance to this cooperation, which is why I am here."

Lance definitely didn't believe her nonsense, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll leave. You can do whatever you want, but don't disrupt Hamlet's order. I'll only say this once."

But just when Lance stood up to leave, the old woman frowned and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Why?"

"Why?" Lance hesitated for a moment, and soon understood what she was saying, "Are you talking about why I chose to settle this matter?"

"Your strength should not bear this kind of... grievance." The old woman looked strange, but she still said the word.

"Otherwise? Kill you because of this? Then start a war with the Roma?" Lance smiled, looking nonchalant.

"Yes, I can indeed do this, I have the strength, and I am not afraid of war, but what's the point?

The internal fighting between humans is meaningless, just like the current war in the empire. No matter who wins or loses, all the costs are passed on to those ordinary people.

If I go to war with you because of this trivial matter, the last person on the battlefield will not be you or me, but the townspeople, ordinary Roma people. They may still be laughing with their families today, but tomorrow they will Maybe he died on the battlefield because of your so-called 'grievance'? "

The old woman fell into silence thinking about Lance's words. She had already seen the cruelty of war along the way.

"Whether you believe it or not, I said that my enemies are not human beings, but if someone insists on standing against me, Hamlet has never been afraid of war."
