Our family is in decline

But those corruptions and void monsters are real, the evil gods are also real, and it is also real that they will destroy the world when they wake up. The only difference is that the culprit of all this is actually the old man, the ancestor.

If you want to fight against it, you must have a certain understanding of these things, and these things will have to be told to them sooner or later.

And the heroic stories they constructed will give them enough spiritual support, at least they won't break down and run away when they encounter monsters.

The story just now will be just a screening, and what follows is the real core.

"Don't be so pessimistic. In fact, my family still left some strength for me to fight against evil."

Lance set his sights on a corpse, then raised his hand to touch it.

[Sacrifice] was activated, and the newly dead body seemed to collapse and was swallowed by the darkness, leaving only clothes and fragments in place.

As a caster, Lance could see light points floating from the void and drilling into himself.

At this moment, he felt that his body was like a bottle, with some light spots floating irregularly inside.

Originally, Lance didn't understand what the so-called gift in the skill description meant, but now he finally understood the changes that sacrifice brought to him.

Gifts, that is, those light points can be understood as experience points or energy bars.

[Blessing] can strengthen the body by consuming [Gift], which is actually an upgrade, and can even strengthen objects.

What's more important is that the blessing not only strengthens himself, but can also be used on people other than himself. In other words, as long as the gift is enough, he can build a powerful army.

Lance keenly felt that this was the key to his foothold in this world.

After consuming all the gifts, as the light spots in the body disappeared, a warm current appeared out of thin air and circulated in the body. The fatigue accumulated from running just now was directly swept away, and the anxiety that was haggard was dispelled by a steady stream of power.

He intuitively felt that his body was getting stronger, but that feeling disappeared in an instant. Lance knew that he needed more gifts.

Disma and Leonard looked very surprised when they saw this scene, which was beyond their understanding.

If they hadn't been vaccinated just now, I'm afraid they would have killed Lance as a monster now.

Noticing the reactions of the two, Lance waited until the other two corpses were sacrificed before explaining.

"That evil god is the god of flesh and blood. He corrupts and attracts monsters in order for them to fight. The flesh and blood of every creature that dies in this area will provide him with strength, so just killing the enemies is not enough. You also need to clear out the ones left behind. corpse.

The ancestor gained mysterious and powerful abilities in the divine revelation. During the long-term confrontation, family members were able to rely on the power of blood to perform. The ancestor left behind ancient rituals to completely purify the flesh and blood of the enemy, so as to prevent the power of the evil god. Become stronger and break free of the seal. "

Of course, Lance couldn't say that he sacrificed the corpse. It was obviously more acceptable to change it to purification.

In fact, the ancestor was indeed relying on the power of flesh and blood to plan to become a god. His sacrifice of the corpse really weakened the ancestor's power to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the previous story had an effect. Although the two of them had never seen such a weird ritual, they still chose to believe it.

"Don't be surprised. There are many magical things in this cursed land. You will see more incredible things in the future."

Lance did not say any more, but picked up the clothes on the ground and wiped the blood off the gun, and tied the strong man's gun bag to his belt. The temperament of a bachelor suddenly became a bit more aggressive.

Returning to the carriage, Lance sacrificed the gunman's body and felt the increasing light spots in his body. He was like a miser watching the gold coins coming in, feeling a sense of substantial security.

It's just that he didn't use these gifts immediately. The weak enhancements didn't have much effect. On the contrary, the accumulation was equivalent to insurance.

Those scattered boxes were basically filled with sundries from the previous life, which were of little use to Lance. What was really important was the inheritance certificate that could prove his identity.

Select some and stuff them into the suitcase, and throw the long-barreled flintlock to Disma, the only one among them who can use it.

After that, he piled all the rest into the bushes of the dense forest. It doesn't matter if he can find the best ones when the time comes.

He simply burned it to the ground. Seeing the burning flames engulfing the carriage with the family emblem, Lance didn't miss it. He then turned around to greet the two of them with his suitcase in hand.

"Let's go! Come on Hamlet."

He didn't know how far he had walked along the old road. When the morning sun rose from the sky, the sunlight tore through the thick clouds and dispersed the darkness from the land. Only then did Lance vaguely see the human buildings in the distance.

finally reached.

The experience along the way made Lance understand why there are restrictions on the backpack in the game. Just walking for a while with this little thing would make him feel tired. If it were not for the side effects of continuously strengthening the body through blessings, it would dispel it. Tired, I'm afraid he's still dawdling now.

But this also consumed the few [gifts]. Now he just wants to find the escaped butler and kill him with one shot.

You dare to steal my horse!

Lance stopped the two of them before they could move on, took out two small leather bags from his pocket and handed them to them respectively.

Their mission was to send themselves to the town. The total reward was one thousand copper coins, five hundred per person. The money was paid by Lance's teacher, the old professor who raised him.

According to the conversion of this world's currency system, 1 gold coin = 20 silver coins = 240 copper coins.

One thousand is 4 gold coins plus 40 copper coins.

Don't look like little. Money's purchasing power is actually very strong in this low-productivity world.

In Lance's memory, the salary of an ordinary craftsman in the city for a hard day's work was only 3 copper coins. Only some technical positions were better paid, with a daily salary of 5 copper coins.

The teacher in Lance who is a professor at the university has a monthly salary of 5 gold coins, which is also a high-income earner in a big city.

As for the serfs, they may not even have a chance to see money. They are exploited by farmers just like slaves. As long as they can survive starvation, it is already good.

But neither of them took it, but looked at Lance with some confusion.

"Take it, this is your mission reward." Lance emphasized.

"Lord, what does this mean?" Disma was a little angry and felt that he had been humiliated. "I swore allegiance to you in order to kill evil."

"But as long as we are human, we have to eat, right? We also need to maintain our equipment, right? I can't let you go hungry and carry tattered weapons to fight evil with me~" Lance smiled and comforted: "Since you are following If you kill me, then I will be responsible for you. This is my responsibility and there is no conflict with our goals."

As he spoke, he put the money bag into their hands.

Now is the time to win people's hearts. Lance can't save money to cause rift between the two. It would be ridiculous to save money at this time and end up dead later.

Under Lance's persuasion, the two accepted the commission and then entered the town of Hamlet.
