Our family is in decline

"At that time, everyone actually didn't believe it, but there was no other way but to agree. He took out a skull from his pocket and there was a strange candle on top of the Tianling Cap.

At that time, I only heard what he was saying, and then he raised the skull candlestick towards the injured brothers, and the candle burned on its own, exerting magical power..."

With Little John's description, Lance was able to get a rough idea of ​​the situation at that time. The man used his extraordinary power to heal the soldiers who had been shot, and then followed the ship back.

Along the way, he also predicted the location of the pirates several times. Because of what happened before, the captain chose to believe him.

I don’t know if I really avoided the pirates, but it was indeed a calm journey back without any trouble.

Lance didn't feel surprised when he heard it, because he could feel the man's powerful power.

Lance has not had much contact with other strong men, but he can judge by sensing the strength of the spirit. The person's physical condition is unknown, but the spirit is probably not lower than that of the Wolf Warrior.

In other words, another [Champion]!

With such a champion-level transcendent protecting them, how could anything go wrong? Or maybe it would be weird to tell the problem.

But why did he have to come to Hamlet? And why do you want to see yourself?

Now only people who see it will know.

"I understand. You should go back to rest first and enjoy your vacation." Lance smiled and sent Little John away before getting up and heading to the living room.

As soon as the two met, Lance's eyes swept over the middle-aged man. He was not a wolf warrior who relied more on physical strength, but a spell caster.

Looking at the spiritual light on his body, it is obvious that not only is he powerful, but none of the equipment on him is simple.

The man's deep gaze fell on Lance. To be honest, he didn't even feel the fluctuations caused by the overflowing extraordinary power. On the contrary, he was just like an ordinary person, but his strong temperament showed that his strength was not simple.

Especially when he noticed what was next to Lance, he couldn't help but be surprised on his calm face.

Of course, Lance noticed his reaction. Being able to see the wealth, it was self-evident what this meant.

"I am Lance, Lord of Hamlet." Lance stepped forward directly, "Thank you very much for your help."

"I am Alhazred, a scholar who explores the mysteries."

"Then Mr. Scholar, I wonder why you came to Hamlet?"

"Destiny has led me here to recover a stolen statue filled with evil power."

Alhazred has no nonsense, or at his level, nonsense has become unnecessary, and they will not waste time on it.

"That is one of the items unearthed from an ancient ruins. The power contained in those items points to some indescribable existence in the abyss. It contains terrifying power. At the same time, this power will corrupt everything.

The emergence of these things caused a terrible disaster in the local area, and it took a lot of effort for our council to control it.

Later, according to our research, we found that this involved the worship of evil gods in an ancient kingdom, and this was probably a very important reason why the ancient kingdom died and turned into history. "

As he spoke, Alhazred looked at Lance and emphasized, "When the disaster occurred, we recovered most of the parliamentary seals, but there are still many left outside. This will be an important node for the abyss to corrupt into reality."

Lance was different from Little John. Listening to his eloquent words, he quickly extracted some key points from his words.

Destiny, parliament, Levantine people, mystical scholars, as soon as these keywords were combined, Lance immediately understood what he was talking about.

People from the Council of Destiny...a supernatural organization located in the Levant region that was mentioned by Tamara and Catherine.

From what he said, it was obvious that he came here for the weird statue that was the bald wizard's relic.

Looking at it this way, based on Catherine's experience, the bald wizard was probably forced to flee to Totnes incognito because the statue offended him or the Parliament of Destiny.

At that time, the bald wizard was forced to use the power of the statue when facing Geralt and the others, so it was natural for the Council of Destiny, which was good at prophecy, to find clues.

But what does this have to do with Hamlet?

"It's really difficult to find a statue in a place as big as Hamlet, but I'll keep an eye out for you."

Lance made a fool of himself, and it seemed that he was not afraid because of the situation described by the scholar.

It's too much to try to frighten a bold guy with the words of a mystic scholar.

He is not afraid of the ancestor, so why should he be afraid of the evil god of the abyss?

"The seal on it has been broken, and the cover of the seal has been lost. I can feel the power of that thing even though it is thousands of miles away." Alhazred had no expression, but his deep eyes looked at Lance , it’s self-evident what it means.

Lance was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. The thing was indeed in his hand, but it was in his pocket and there was no possibility of taking it out.

Unless you add money!

Lance didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he sat down, picked up the kettle on the table and poured water.

"I remember that you [Parliament of Destiny] don't seem to care much about this, right?" Lance asked naturally as he pushed the tea cup over and placed it in front of him.

As long as they are organizations, they represent their own interests. Who would run around the world to recycle an evil god statue without any benefit?

There are not three million paladins in this world, not to mention that among the Roma people, the Council of Destiny is a group of people who do anything for power and even dare to trade with the abyss.

Even the Roma people look down on these foreign wizards. It is understandable...

Lance even suspected that the bald wizard was once a member of the Council of Destiny, which was why he had difficulty controlling his desire for power and stole the statue.

"I have discovered that corruption and depravity are spreading across this land." Alhazred's warning became more intense. "That statue is very dangerous. It will tempt the holder to degenerate. Anyone who wants to gain power from it will You will pay a serious price for your actions!"

Lance found that it was better not to be too subtle when talking to these scholars. Originally, he wanted to see what price he could offer in exchange for the statue.

But listening to his words, how do you feel that he thinks he gets power from the statue, and does this lead to Hamlet's corruption?

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't stand it. If it was really that simple, he would be thankful. Unfortunately, the power of the statue was nothing to Hamlet. He had to sit at the children's table to eat.

"I feel like you have misunderstood something. The power on the statue has not leaked, and no one is trying to gain power through the statue."

Lance paused for a moment as if he remembered something, "Well... I can't say that. I can only say that the last person who tried to use the statue in exchange for power was hacked to death by me. As for the corruption on our side, that's another matter. There is a reason.”

After saying that, Lance directly raised his hand, and the statue fell into his hand out of thin air, "I spent a lot of money to get this thing by killing a fallen wizard. What price can you offer?"

The wooden box originally used to seal the statue had been damaged in the previous war. Without the protection of the seal, if the statue had fallen into the hands of others, something would have happened.

But Lance doesn't accept this trick at all, and all corrupting power is vain in front of [Asylum].

Anyway, after Lance got it, he threw it directly into the showroom, and he didn't find anything unusual after so long.

But his reckless action frightened Alhazred directly, and he didn't even pay much attention to Lance's words. The moment the statue was taken out, his eyes were firmly fixed on the statue, and he suddenly stood up. Create distance.

It seems that even the fear on the character's face is carved out, and the exaggerated postures of the hands and feet seem to depict a person wearing an exquisite dress falling into a tentacle trap.

But when I looked closer, I found that the expression on the man's face didn't look like panic, but ecstasy, and his exaggerated posture didn't look like struggling, but dancing.

The contrast between the two is a bit strange.

That's right! It's that kind of evil power...

The expression on Alhazred's face was no longer as calm as before, but revealed a trace of imperceptible uneasiness.

He can feel the strange aura emanating from the statue. This is his special ability, but it is also a curse...

But soon he noticed something was wrong, and his eyes couldn't help but move from the statue to the hand holding the statue, and then met the gentle smile on the lord's face, which made him feel confused again.

Wouldn't any extraordinary person with some common sense deal with an evil object so casually? Not to mention that I just told him about the dangers of this statue.

But...but...why...how dare he hold it like this?

A strong man who can easily resist the power of the statue. No wonder I didn't feel the extraordinary power in him before. It turned out that it was because he controlled the power so exquisitely that his breath did not leak out.

Alhazred seemed to have made a judgment about Lance, and then looked back and thought about what he just said.

Do you want to trade?

If the statue is basically hopeless in the hands of ordinary people, seal the thing away before it causes more trouble.

If it falls into the hands of a transcendent, the statue will definitely have an impact on the holder. When he takes the statue away, those people will have to thank him.

If he has fallen, he will do it directly. It can be said that he has no intention of using normal means to get things back.

but now……

etc!

Alhazred seemed to suddenly realize something, and the point now was not at all.

If the statue has always been controlled, what about the corruption in this land?

The sudden silence... Alhazred seemed to be in some strange state.

He no longer focused on the statue or Lance, but kept looking around, but his eyes didn't seem to be focused on the real world at all, but he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see. thing.

There were strange words that could not be heard in his mouth, and his body movements seemed to be a little strange and indescribable.

Alhazred originally felt the evil atmosphere here when he was on the ship. He originally thought it was just the power of the statue that caused it here, but just now he realized that his guess was wrong.

It was not the power of the statue that caused the corruption here, so what kind of power could cause such horrific corruption?

At this moment, he seemed to feel an inexplicable presence spying on him, and countless black eyes grew in the void.

I knew...you must be attracting the same kind...

Damn it! It was a trap and I was being followed.

Get out of here! I'm not one of those stupid mortals...

No! ...I noticed it, it's coming! …

This isn't real...it's a brain illusion!

Alhazred stood there, his chaotic thoughts almost making him lose control, and the unknown existence hidden in his consciousness kept swallowing his sanity...

Lance watched from the side as he gradually started to look strange and even a little crazy, and the smile on his face couldn't help but shrink.

If you want to control extraordinary power as a human being, you have to pay a price.

But want to get into trouble in Hamlet?

Have you ever asked me!

"wake up!"

Lance shouted, and the effect of [Blessing] directly refreshed his status and pulled him back from the hallucination.

Alhazred's soul seemed to have left the real space, and at this moment, a cry was like thunder exploding in his ears, and a sudden surge of power appeared in his body. His brain, which was shocked by the strangeness, got a moment of tranquility, as if Even the beings in the abyss were in awe of that man's power.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough for him. He rationally seized this opportunity and continuously built a spiritual defense line to block the endless corruption.

When he came back to his senses, the scene in his eyes quickly collapsed. The purple-black starry curtain was torn open, and reality appeared in front of him.

However, his calm expression was gone forever, leaving only a look of exhaustion, and his breathing was a little hurried before he had recovered.

Only he knows how dangerous it was just now, and he will release it if he is not careful.

"Are you OK."

Yuyou's voice came, and Alhazred couldn't help but focus on Lance and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Why...why does it appear in this place?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Then..." Alhazred opened his mouth to say something but suddenly stopped, fell into a moment of pause, and then directly changed his words: "What happened on this land? Why is the boundary with the abyss like this? Fragile? I have never seen such a terrible place..."

Lance looked at the scholar and seemed to find something.

You must know that even Lance, who can see the terrifying inspiration of spirituality with the naked eye, is difficult to spy, but he can actually see the erosion of Hamlet by his ancestors. (End of chapter)
