Our family is in decline

Lance panicked when he saw the person suddenly approaching, and instinctively controlled his body to retreat.

Just as he was about to catch him, a long sword thrust out from the side and penetrated directly through the strong man's chest.

As Leonard drew out his sword, the strong man fell to the ground as if he had lost his support, and the light in his eyes dissipated as time went by.

Lance also reacted and stabilized his body. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but feel scared. If he really wanted to catch him, he might be in trouble.

"The blood soaked the gunpowder." Disma explained after seeing the problem with the gun.

Raising the gun in his hand, Lance found that he had so little knowledge about firearms that he forgot that he was holding a flintlock gun.

At the same time, he also made a big mistake, that is, the weapons he took from others were not inspected.

As the last person died, the temporary team of three entered a strange atmosphere. It was obvious that the two of them were waiting for Lance's explanation.

"I know you have a lot of doubts, but what I say next may break your understanding of this world, so are you sure you want to know the truth about this world?"

"Tell me quickly." Disma was filled with curiosity, and he couldn't wait to know.

"Okay then." Lance spoke slowly after adjusting his mentality a little.

"I come from a very old family, whose history can be traced back thousands of years. As heirs, my ancestors enjoyed a luxurious and decadent aristocratic life.

Until one day he received divine enlightenment and knew in his dream a sealed ancient evil god. Once he wakes up, the world will be destroyed.

The ancestor believed that this was a responsibility he must shoulder, so he gave up his depraved life and spent his money on setting up an expedition team. After all the hard work, he finally found the location where the evil god was sealed in the dream.

The ancestor led the family knights to eliminate monsters and open up this desolate territory, but he soon discovered that this was a cursed place. The power of the evil god was too powerful, and it would corrupt everything even if it was sealed.

Whether they are animals, plants, or even dead things, they have been corrupted into monsters in this cursed place. At the same time, the power of the evil god will distort reality to attract the attention of those void monsters.

Those monsters are like weeds. If one group dies, another group will soon appear. The ancestor knows that this is an endless road, but in order to protect the seal, he has been fighting against evil all his life. The people who swore to the family must defend it with their lives. Break the seal and fight evil until the last person.

Over the years, family members have basically fallen into the fight against monsters in order to protect the seal. My parents were also the same, so that I was fostered in other people's homes since I was a child, and I never saw my parents until I became an adult. "

At this point, Lance stopped to observe the two people's reactions.

Although they are all ruthless people, when faced with information such as divine enlightenment, evil gods, and world destruction, it is still difficult to understand, or they cannot believe it, and can only digest it in silence.

Lance noticed their attitude, smiled and comforted:

"I didn't believe it at first, because the news of the seal cannot be leaked, and only the heirs are qualified to know. Until the last lord disappeared, as the only person left in the family, the family's mission finally came to an end as the blood was passed on. It came to me, and I also received divine enlightenment and knew everything.”

"Why are you telling us this? I'm just an ordinary mercenary." Disma seemed a little flinched.

"Because I need your help." Lance's attitude was sincere. "As you can see, the corruption has begun to spread and the seal is in danger. Even if I have the determination to remove the evil protection seal, I am only alone. I may be inexplicable as soon as I inherit the territory. died."

"Why not turn to the Kingdom or the Church for help?" Leonard asked.

"Because there are only monsters and no gold coins in my territory."

Lance's words immediately silenced Leonard.

Disma regretted what he heard. This was not what he should know. Now he just wanted to end this task quickly, then take the money and go to a pub or brothel to numb himself with alcohol and body, so that he would forget it when he woke up the next day. All this, until the end of the world...

I don't want to die here! (Selfish)

Feeling the rejection from the two, he could only sigh.

"I know it's very difficult and may even cost me my life. I thought about escaping when I first learned about my family's mission.

But some things have to be done by someone. Instead of waiting in panic all day for the evil god to come and the end of the world, we might as well give it a try. That way, even if we fail, we can at least work hard without leaving any regrets and not live in panic. "

Disma hesitated, listening to the words in Lance's mouth. Whether it was the family that had fought bloody battles for thousands of years to protect the seal, or Lance, an ordinary scholar who dared to bear the suffocating pressure at this time, he couldn't help but feel admiration. .

He was thin, but standing in front of him was as majestic and inviolable as a mountain. In comparison, he was like a rat in the ditch.

The complicated emotions are torturing Disma's heart, and he also wants to live like Lance.

Leonard stood aside, no one knew what the man under the armor was thinking.

"It doesn't matter if you don't join, I can understand it, just like my parents didn't want me to get involved when they sent me away.

I tell you this in the hope that someone will still know the story of our family after my death. At least I have fulfilled the oath of my ancestors and protected the seal to the last person. I, Lance, have not brought shame to the name of Hamlet! "

Lance's words were like a sharp knife piercing Disma's fragile heart. After the disguise was broken, he only felt a strong sense of guilt filling it.

Why am I always escaping? Why?

I can do it, I will find my own salvation!

During the self-exploration, another stronger emotion began to emerge, and it seemed as if I saw an arc of light.

"Hmph!" Disma became excited and waved the gun and sword in his hand, "There is no retreat, let's get started."

"The Holy Light is extremely firm, and so am I." Leonard raised his sword high, "Even if I die together with that unclean evil!"

Lance couldn't help but laugh when he heard the two people's words. He knew that he had made the right bet. Both of them had a strong tendency towards self-redemption.

He immediately swore an oath with the two of them to protect this secret. Anyway, it filled the sense of ceremony and made them feel like they were carrying a mission.

In fact, most of these criticisms were made up by Lance. He knew that if he wanted to gain support, he had to assume a high status, even the identity of a savior, and awaken the two people's desire to redeem themselves with dedication and sacrifice. Anyway, the ancestor Even though they were all dead, no one could expose his words.
