Our family is in decline

After sending Boudica away, Lance also noticed Joan of Arc who was at a loss.

At the age of twelve, he is already a little adult in this era. He looked down and out and haggard after being tortured during the escape, and his whole body was as thin as a bamboo pole, but his delicate face and smart eyes still left a deep impression on Lance. , otherwise you won’t be targeted by those gangsters.

And after coming to Hamlet, whether it was because of her mother's status as principal or Lance's intentional training, she received excellent resources, and she had not even received this kind of treatment in the city before.

After being raised for a period of time, her whole body has grown. She stands tall and slim. Although her arms and legs are still thin, the long and hard training makes her look not weak, but rather heroic.

And those eyes are still bright, and there seems to be hope in them.

"Yeah~ Not bad." Lance nodded towards her, looking very satisfied.

Of course, what Lance was satisfied with was not her appearance, but the spirit she revealed, which had not been worn away by suffering, but had become brighter after all the hard work.

"Come on, let's take a rest after training for so long." Lance sat on the steps and waved to her, intending to take care of the talents he cultivated and make sure they don't grow crooked.

Joan's admiration for the lord began from the first time they met, and she could never forget the man who reached out to her.

She couldn't afford to come here for training so early, but she chose this place because she wanted to be closer to him.

It's just that the lord is busy, and most of the time I can only see the adults in a hurry.

At this time, facing the lord's invitation, she did not hesitate to approach her faith, and even seemed a little nervous, fearing that she was not good enough.

Lance also noticed her nervousness, and chatted with her about daily life in a gentle tone. Soon, under Lance's guidance, Joan also relaxed. He was still the big brother before.

Lance had only known from his mother that she was a quiet little girl who loved to study and suddenly fell in love with exercise and longed for strength, but the detailed reason was not clear.

And this time, Lance also understood from her words that the original suffering still changed Joan's concept.

"Do you like studying or training?"

Joan of Arc didn't want to deceive the adults. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment before talking to herself.

"I like reading, and I also want to be a teacher like my mother, but reading cannot protect the people I care about."

After knowing this, Lance couldn't help but fall into silence. After a few seconds, he sighed.

"Yeah~ It's useless to hold a pen in your hand in this world. You can only speak with your fists."

Lance raised his hand and clenched it into a fist in front of Joan of Arc, but then he let it go. He raised his hand and patted her head gently, smiling and comforting: "But don't worry, I will protect you, you can go. Do what you want to do.”

The situation outside was more troublesome than she imagined, but he didn't want the child to have too much pressure.

But Joan of Arc didn't think so. Because she trained with Boudicca, she had come into contact with some secrets that ordinary townspeople didn't know. The lord had been fighting all the time, so how could she fall behind?

"I know there are enemies watching Hamlet, how can I let myself go?"

Lance didn't expect that she would have such a concept at a young age. In fact, he had seen her training for a long time, and she was probably under this kind of pressure.

Since she has this intention, Lance doesn't mind investing more resources.

"Boudica is good at fighting, but she doesn't understand military affairs. I will tell Leonard then that you can go to the training camp in the evening.

Remember, one person's power is limited. If you want to bring peace to Hamlet and the world, there is only one way, and that is to unite everyone's power.

In reality, it is a powerful and invincible army. However, this road is destined to be difficult and hard. Do you choose to go on it? "

"I want everyone to live in peace." Joan of Arc's thin body revealed a stubbornness.

Lance didn't say anything when he heard this.

Because you have been caught in the rain, should you hold an umbrella for others?

This is destined to be a thankless task. Anyway, Lance is not stupid enough to do this. Everything he does is for himself.

But he doesn't mind having more idealists. Only the more idealists there are, the more he can live his life with peace of mind.

Because it has never been selfish people like him who hold up the world.

"Just stride forward, don't worry about everything behind you, because I'm standing right behind you."

Lance raised his hand and patted her shoulder, looking at the rising sun in the distance, full of hope!

…………

"No need to wait, he won't come over." Tamara leaned on the counter of the carriage and looked at Amanda standing aside, with a radiant look on her face with a hint of pride.

She had already guessed that Amanda would take this opportunity to meet Lance, and then cut into the topic and seduce the man.

So she simply tried her best to dissuade Lance from coming over. Anyway, all the things that needed to be delivered were delivered last night.

Are you the little bitch trying to create a chance encounter? impossible!

"I gave it to you." Amanda was not affected at all, but calmly choked out.

This sentence emphasizes that you are the one who is leaving, and I am the one who is staying.

Tamara would have been furious before, but now she didn't care at all, lying on the counter looking a little lazy.

The old woman didn't care. Giving it away meant being polite. It didn't matter if she didn't. Anyway, everything that should be discussed has been discussed.

However, according to the old woman's straightforward character towards Lance, she really wouldn't waste time on such politeness.

"We're leaving, and I'll leave the affairs here to you." The old woman held Amanda's hand and warned her, and then left with Tamara and the others.

Amanda watched the carriage drive away, but stood there thinking for a while.

I have to say that Tamara guessed it right. Amanda did want to take this opportunity to get close to Lance, but Tamara's reaction at this moment made her feel abnormal.

Shouldn't she be the one who's unhappy when the lord doesn't come to see her off? After all, he is here to stay. Even if he can't see her today, he can still see her tomorrow.

Why does Tamara have this inexplicable sense of superiority?

Moreover, the previous attitude was very dissatisfied and even resisted going back. Why did it change after just one night?

Did the elder agree to her conditions, or the lord promised her something...

The old woman guessed right, Lance was too lazy to be polite, and he had no intention of sending it off regardless of Tamara's persuasion or not.

First of all, he has no good impression of the Roma people, and his cooperation is only for the sake of the overall situation.

I went to find Tamara last night because she was valuable and worthy of investment, but Lance didn't expect to invest himself in it.

Secondly, why do you want the Earl of the Empire to send you as a gift?

You have to give this thing away to you just to run a small business. Where do I get so much time?

At this time, Lance was having a meeting. The Beast Cave and his party had to select personnel, and they also had to be wary of the Ancestor guy, so they needed to make some arrangements and set up a plan.

Those who can be here are the core of Hamlet. People like Geralt, Junia, and Tardif whose identities are unknown, or who have their own organizations, or who are mercenaries cannot even enter.

Accepting refugees is a difficult problem. He cannot take away too many people. William needs to maintain order, screen refugees, and guard against cultists sneaking in.

The conscription has been decided, Leonard is now in charge of military affairs, Barristan needs to train new recruits, and Patton needs to supervise the artillery casting and ordnance replacement.

As for Paracelsus, who was busy doing research, she was too lazy to do anything unless there was a subject that interested her, not to mention that she was not good at fighting in the first place.

Because of Lance's entrustment, Grendel needed to stay behind whether it was for government affairs, research, or as a transcendent.

At the same time, after he left, the town's high-end supernatural combat power was lacking, leaving Geralt and Junia to cooperate with Greendale to suppress possible extraordinary beings, such as the ancestor's cult priests.

Therefore, there were not many people who could move, and those who participated in the action soon came out.

Disma, Boudica, Tardif, plus him.

"Well, the matter has been decided. I hope that during my absence we can work together for Hamlet."

"For Hamlet!"

Leonard and others echoed, and looking at their state, Lance understood that the team was still very united.

Because most of them did not unite around him for profit, but for some mysterious and mysterious hope that even Lance himself did not believe in.

As long as he is here, this hope will not disappear, at least for now.

"Leonard stays, let the others get busy."

The reason why Lance left Leonard alone was not to keep him from spying on others and engaging in infighting.

But to enhance his strength and strengthen Hamlet's high-end combat power.

"This is an extraordinary piece of equipment with an ancient heritage. It contains powerful power and can transform the power of sunlight into its own power. The stronger the power of the sun, the stronger the power of transformation." Lance will [Sunlight Ring] ] took it out and introduced the situation to him.

It's not like Leonard has never seen extraordinary items. He has handled many during the war, but most of them have gone into the pockets of the church.

Just by listening to the description, you can tell that this is no ordinary extraordinary item, because the side effects are extremely low.

"But remember, extraordinary power can easily make people get lost and fall. You must beware of the temptation of power and never fall into it."

They knew about the management regulations of extraordinary equipment. Everything belonged to Hamlet, and they only had the right to use it during the mission. They had to release it and return it after the mission was over.

"yes!"

After taking the ring and putting it on, Leonard, as a warrior who has fought hundreds of battles, definitely has strong control over his body. He did feel that the power was coming continuously, but it was not obvious.

"Go and do your work, and help me call Junia in."

Leonard exited smoothly. As he walked out of the room and came into contact with the sun, the weak power from the ring became stronger.

Leonard knew that this was a task assigned by the lord before he left, and he must use this power to guard Hamlet.

"Lord, when will we set off?" Junia didn't know the arrangements for the meeting just now, but when she came, she saw someone going to notify Geralt and Tardif, and knew that she would definitely take action against those monsters, so she thought she was called over. It's about getting ready to go.

Seeing her honest and positive look, Lance fell silent.

Geralt is a demon hunter who takes on tasks for a living, and his professionalism is very professional, so for this matter, you only need to tell him, let him rest after completing the above task, and explain it to you.

With his character, it would be impossible for him not to take action if something happened to Hamlet.

But Junia is an unstable person. The young man is full of passion and wants to do something. If he didn't choose her this time, he would probably be emotional. If he really wants to keep her, just in case she can't think of using the church's tricks to cause trouble. what to do?

The key is to find something to do for her and comfort her at the same time.

Thinking of this, Lance immediately stood up and asked her to sit down with a smile, "You are not on the mission list this time."

"Why?" Sure enough, after hearing the news, Junia stood up directly and asked with a serious face.

"Don't worry, because there are more important things." Lance smiled and took out the steel torch he took from Tamara and put it in front of her, "Do you remember this?"

"Remember."

She was naturally very clear about this thing. Without this, their group would never have been able to survive the lord's rescue.

"I heard that this torch was used by the saints of your church, so it has strong divine power, but it lost its effect after the previous battle.

But I have already studied it. As long as it is constantly irrigated with holy power, it will recover one day. This thing was broken in your hands. You don’t want the holy relic to become garbage, right? "

Lance grabbed the torch and put it in her hand, "So your task now is to use your power to wash it and see if it can be restored."

Junia quickly left holding the steel torch. As for how she could restore the torch, that was not what Lance needed to worry about.

To be honest, Lance didn't have much hope, he just wanted to find something for her to do.

No matter how much you pray inside the room, they will ignore you. Just don’t pray outside.

Junia's abilities are very practical, so Lance wants to use her, but how to use her is very particular.

With Junia leaving, Lance has completed the arrangements for Hamlet, and he must destroy the den this time out!

But before he could set out, an unexpected but reasonable person came to his door.

"Sir, Amanda wants to see you." Susan came up to report.

Lance frowned and couldn't help but think of what Tamara said to him.

Amanda is eyeing herself. Is it herself, or is she taking over the task of the organization?

"Let her in."

Amanda walked in. She lost to Tamara last time. This time she didn't plan to wait any longer, so she came directly to her.

But when the two met, Lance said something simply.

"Tamara, who wanted to stay, left, but you, who wanted to leave, stayed. Tell me, how do you plan to monitor me~"
