Our family is in decline

Both of them have very common names in rural areas, and they have no surnames.

It seems that they were born as ordinary people in the countryside, and there is no plot about extraordinary blood being in trouble.

But it’s hard to say. No one knows who they are a few generations back.

What's more, do princes, generals, and Xiang Ning have the guts?

It is not very strange for ordinary people to awaken extraordinary beings.

"Hello, Lord..." After her brother received treatment, Mary finally realized the identity of the man in front of her.

"You still know me? That's amazing!" Mary's voice suddenly drew Lance's attention back, and when he heard her words, he pretended to be surprised and chimed in to encourage him.

"I...have met the Lord before..."

"You don't need to call me Sir, just call me Brother Lance." A gentle smile appeared on Lance's face.

However, Mary did not cling to her. She looked a little timid and had an inferiority complex that seemed to be engraved in her blood, which made it seem like there was a thick and sad barrier between them.

"Am I scary?" Lance noticed her strangeness just now and asked in a teasing tone.

"Mom said it was the lord who saved us. There is no one better than the lord..."

"Then can you tell me what I'm afraid of?"

"My lord is my lord." Mary couldn't hide her eyes that were swollen from crying, and she glanced at Lance secretly.

Mary gave an ambiguous answer, but in fact Lance knew very well that in the eyes of these ordinary people, nobles were not the same species as them.

She must also have been told or even warned by her parents since she was a child not to offend the nobles, as this would bring disaster to the whole family.

Growing up in this environment, it was natural for her to show this state.

This kind of domestication is not even done by the nobles themselves, but they themselves domesticate the next generation.

But the world shouldn't be like this...

"I'm different from them..."

Lance muttered something to himself, but unexpectedly it was recognized by Mary.

"Those guys won't give us bread or milk. Only the lord is good to us, otherwise we will starve to death."

Mary said seriously, the only thing that could make her temporarily forget the difference in status between the two was the deeper suffering in the past.

Lance was a little emotional when he heard this. To be honest, he has a very good memory and can navigate a maze-like cave with his brain alone.

But I really don't remember these brothers and sisters, or even have any impression, because when he accepted these refugees, they were in very bad condition, especially the children who were basically skin and bones.

Not to mention the mummy, but there definitely wasn't much meat. How could that ghost look different from what it is now?

But despite her young age, they actually know everything.

If you treat them well, they will really remember it.

"So I'm different from them. I prefer you to call me brother than 'adult'."

"Brother..." Mary seemed to be thinking about this problem seriously. After being induced by Lance, she couldn't help but test it out. When she saw the gentle smile on the lord's face, she continued to shout.

"Brother Lance!"

"Oh, you're so good." Lance smiled and nodded, finally comforting her.

But his eyes immediately shifted to the strange flower in the girl's hand...

"Mary, can you tell me the story of this flower?"

After hearing what Lance said, Mary looked down at her hand and looked a little surprised, as if she didn't even realize she was holding the flower.

"My brother picked this for me, but it's obviously white. Why did it turn into this color? It feels so strange..."

Lance's eyes were also fixed on the strange blood-red flower. From the aura emerging from it, he could tell that this was a piece of extraordinary equipment.

But the bloody smell revealed was not a good thing, but seemed very strange.

"Mary, can you give me this flower?"

Regarding this strange flower, Mary hesitated for a moment before handing it out, her face seemed a little reluctant to part with it.

"Give."

Lance was not as afraid of the unknown supernatural power as other extraordinary beings, so he directly took over the blood flower.

Once he got it, Lance felt that this was a limited-edition equipment, and probably no one else could use it except Mary. However, it was difficult for him to figure out the function of this equipment without destroying it.

But Lance did a very strange move and handed the blood flower back.

"Your brother gave you white flowers, and I gave you red flowers."

Logically speaking, Lance should take advantage of the situation and seal it up. Even if he wants to return it to her, he should wait until she has mastered a certain ability, because it is difficult to imagine how a little girl can control a weird and extraordinary equipment.

But after much thought, Lance decided to return the piece of equipment.

The Flower Awakening Awakening is also an exclusive equipment, so if something happens that she is not clear about, her chances may be ruined.

It's better to let everything happen. Anyway, even if something happens, Lance is confident that he can suppress it.

In fact, it's not surprising that Lance made this decision, or maybe he had already made his choice from the beginning.

Because if he were dealing with an ordinary person, Lance might not treat him like this. Instead, he would take out a water-filling potion to cover it up, not to mention a direct and complete cure, leaving skin trauma.

But Mary has awakened her extraordinary power and is destined to face all this in the future. It is better to take this opportunity to guide her in the right direction instead of depriving her of her talent.

The tragedy that happened to Tamara had already taught him a lesson.

Similarly, Sister Junia was delayed by the church for so long that she is now in a daze.

"Really give it to me?" Mary looked at the flower with an expression of longing. She didn't think so at first, but when the thing was taken away, she felt empty and bored, as if she was eager to snatch it back.

Lance smiled and handed the thing into her hand, "Take it, it's yours."

But during the handover, Lance grabbed her little hand holding the flower and solemnly warned:

"You remember to be the master of power, don't succumb to power, and use your power for the right things, just like I used my power to drive away the enemy and save you, you know?"

Mary honestly didn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence, but she nodded in agreement.

"Mary got it."

After hearing this, Lance let go of his hand, and the seriousness on his face slowly faded, but he still reminded her.

"But in the future, you have to remember that this thing is very important to you. Your brother and I gave it to you. You can't give it to anyone else. Do you understand?"

"Understood! This is the agreement between Brother Lance and I." Mary took the flowers and carefully put them in her pocket. A relaxed smile finally appeared on her face, even her face that was crying like a little cat could not hide it.

"You're such a weird little guy." Lance smiled and raised his hand to rub Mary's blond hair.

But this guy Wangcai appeared out of thin air, his spiritually constructed wolf eyes facing Mary.

It doesn't like Lance touching other people's heads, that's the kind of treatment it only gets.

However, the appearance of Wangcai directly made Mary's expression fall into fear, and she shouted subconsciously.

"Wolf!"

The strong emotions seemed to inspire her strength, and she seemed to exude a strange aura.

"Don't be afraid, nothing can hurt you here." Lance reacted, immediately reached out to support the panicked Mary, and quickly explained, "Calm down first, this is not a wolf, it is a dog, it won't hurt."

As he spoke, Lance grabbed the fortune with one hand, put the dog's head under his arm and pretended to pat it a few times, making it difficult for even the spirit body to escape.

"You suddenly appeared and scared others, and are you looking for trouble for me? You can't let me worry about it after it's become like this."

What else can Wangcai do?

He could only receive a beating inexplicably. Although he felt nothing, there was still a look of grievance on his face.

After seeing this scene, Mary's excitement became slightly more stable, and the dangerous atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated.

Sure enough, he still can't control his power, and will release it when his emotions fluctuate violently.

But to be able to see prosperous wealth, the talent of awakening one's own equipment is indeed extraordinary.

Lance was also observing her situation. It would be difficult to deal with it if she was really out of control, but fortunately, this farce ended with good fortune and bad luck.

Just seeing something that looked like a wolf frightened her like this. It seemed that this incident had a very serious impact on her.

"Don't be afraid Mary, I'll show you a magic trick."

As he spoke, Lance raised his hand and performed a set of fancy moves, then touched the air, and as if by magic, a few malt candies appeared in his hand.

He was still a child after all, so this fancy move caught Mary's attention right away.

As a child of a farmer, she had never even heard of sugar, let alone seen it.

"Come on, Mary was very good today, and this is your reward." Lance fed her one directly.

Suffering is never worthy of praise, but Lance still wants to tell them that there will be sweet hope after suffering.

When the sweetness hit her taste buds, the unprecedented feeling instantly cleared away Mary's remaining fear.

In this age where there is no oil, water or sugar, nothing can satisfy the senses more than fat and sugar.

"I want to leave it to my mother and brother, is that okay?" Mary held a few candies in her hand and looked at Lance with some hope.

"It's yours if I give it to you. You can give it to whoever you want." Lance added with a smile, "By the way, wait until your brother wakes up and tell him that I like his brave look very much. Nothing can knock down Hamlet." people."

"Thank you, Brother Lance!" Mary was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Greendale was standing by, looking at this scene with a strange expression.

It is hard to imagine that a noble lord of an empire would have the patience to coax a child.

What's even more outrageous is that it actually succeeded. Just a few words made the little girl burst into laughter.

Looking at the way they interacted, the barrier between the two seemed to disappear.

But there is nothing strange about what he said...

Lance briefly comforted them and left the room, allowing them to have a good rest.

Greendale heard Lance's voice as soon as she caught up.

"You are wrong. Not one, but both children have awakened extraordinary powers. It's just that the boy's injuries are too serious and his vitality has been lost too much to be seen."

Lance's inspiration is very strong, not to mention that he has personally treated the child named Tom, so he can naturally sense the situation that others are not aware of.

"It was just a momentary explosion. The situation was more critical and I ignored it..."

Greendale thought Lance was saying that he had made a mistake, so she subconsciously explained.

"No! You did a great job!" But at this moment, Lance's footsteps suddenly stopped and he turned to look at Greendale to interrupt her.

"Ah?" Greendale also didn't keep up with his rhythm.

"Why did you go back when you had the chance to leave in that chaotic situation?"

Greendale knew clearly that the wolf warrior was coming, and her fear of the wolf warrior could be seen from her reaction just now.

But at this time, he did not run away. Instead, he stopped him and held on until he arrived. This was no longer an ordinary act of courage.

"I did think about running away the moment I realized Wolf Warrior was coming. I have a carriage. If I pretend not to know and leave first with Wangcai, no one can say anything."

Greendale knew that it was best to tell the truth in front of Lance, and any attempt to deceive him was asking for trouble.

“But I know that this move is likely to arouse your dissatisfaction, and at the same time, too much loss to the farm will weaken Hamlet’s strength and affect his revenge plan.

At that time, I guessed that Wolf Warrior's target was me or Wangcai, so I wanted to use the carriage to take Wangcai away to lure Wolf Warrior away. At this time, I still didn't have the mentality to confront him head-on.

But he came too fast. By the time I drove out of the camp, the wolves had already killed them, and many people couldn't escape in time.

The wolves that were advancing for reconnaissance would not be more than a thousand yards away from the wolf warriors. I knew at that time that it was already too late. I should give up on those outside and go back to the farm to organize defenses and use flesh and blood to stop the wolf warriors from invading.

But at this time, those soldiers were going upstream to fight against the white wolves, and at the same time, waves of extraordinary awakening erupted in front of me. I knew that I couldn't just turn back like this. I had to save them, so I had no choice but to stand up. "

One key thing that Greendale didn't say was that the soldiers who went against the flow of people to meet the wolves reminded her of the tribesmen. It was the same at that time. In order to buy her time, they met the wolves, and then...

She was ready to risk her life when she rushed up with the carriage, and that was indeed the case. If Lance had come a little later, she might have been dead.

Lance pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I don't like to force others. My requirement for everyone is that they should bear the responsibilities according to the treatment they enjoy. When encountering situations beyond your ability, you just have to do your best. I won't blame anyone.

As you said, I wouldn't do anything to you if you chose to leave at that time, because I know how much pressure Wolf Warrior puts on you, and I also know that he is completely beyond your capabilities.

But there is a difference between retreat and escape, and it’s hard for me to believe either one..."
