Our family is in decline

After Lance finished speaking, he walked out of the place shrouded in aura. He just looked back at the camp under the protection of the sanctuary and suddenly seemed to remember something.

After killing the Chaos Horror in the game, you can get three pieces of equipment called [Zhi Zhi Talisman] from the butler when you go back. They were probably obtained from these church legends.

Otherwise, the bodies of other church members are gone, and they are the only ones who still have the bodies. You don’t need to think about it.

The importance of this equipment was briefly mentioned in the manuscript, but Lance had no intention of breaking the seal laid by the Saint and getting the thing.

Because the existence of the seal is still restricting the ancestor, Lance will break it only after he is fully prepared, and then it will be time to penetrate the depths of the dungeon.

But if you think about it this way... does it mean that the ancestor has broken the seal when he obtained the [Zhi Zhi Talisman]?

He vaguely remembered that these things were placed like this in the game, with no ritual seals, no blood mist to cover them, no sanctuaries, and no corpses.

Why is all this happening?

These messy thoughts are rolling in my mind, but I can only suppress them now. I will probably know when I go back and finish processing all the information in my hand.

Unlike Lance, who had to consider the situation, his words undoubtedly made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Boudica, who is eager to fight, is the same. The pressure they bear is too great. If Lance hadn't been at the front, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago.

Maybe they're willing to dig deeper for Lance, but that's it...

The team walked out of the red light. The majestic Gate of Oblivion still stood, no different from before entering, as if they had never entered before.

But the moment I walked out, even the salty and humid air that filled the place was countless times better than inside.

Passing through the ancient doorway, climbing up the winding stairs, and finally walking out of the room, they were completely stunned when they saw the light again above the hall of the old house.

Breathing became rapid, and the body was shaking. Everyone seemed to be suffering from a great terror, and all the accumulated stress exploded at this moment.

"We have to seal those doors or we're doomed! You hear me? It's doomed!"

Amanda roared, her words revealing strong despair, and her movements and posture seemed to be out of control.

The more she knew, the greater the pressure she endured. She was far more aware of the horror of the dungeon than the other two, and she could no longer suppress it.

"No matter how strong the wine is, it can't calm my soul..." Boudica bent down and lowered her head while wielding an axe, as if she had been drained of all her energy and spirit.

Audrey was even more exaggerated than she was. She fell to the ground immediately after walking out, muttering to herself in despair.

"Perhaps I can rest in peace in a dark, cold tomb..."

Unsurprisingly, he fell into madness and kept saying strange words, but Lance walked towards the open door as if he didn't hear him, closed his eyes and opened his hands to feel the sunshine falling on his body.

The back outlined by the light really revealed some indescribable feeling.

Of course, Lance knew their strong reaction, but there was a huge gap between coming out of those places. If nothing happened, Lance would have to wonder if the cultists were undercover lurking around him.

Just let them release, let them vent, time will heal everything.

After a few people vented their anger, the howls of ghosts and wolves gradually subsided, and then Lance turned around to comfort them.

"It's okay, everything is over."

Lance's gentle words seemed to have magic power that made people relax unconsciously. Looking at the smile on his face, the stress could not help but fade away.

Amanda was far bolder than the others, or she couldn't care less, so she came up and hugged Lance, praying for more security.

"I was really scared to death. I thought I would never come back."

The powerful pressure came over him like a mountain, and even Lance couldn't help but feel "suffocated".

But at this time, he could only pat his back and comfort him: "Okay, it's okay..."

"Boss!" Boudica came over, "What are you two doing?"

Lance directly raised his hand and pressed the head of Boudica, a curious baby, and pushed her away. After all, there was still someone here, so it was not too outrageous. He patted the shoulder to signal Amanda to let go.

But he didn't ignore Boudica. He took out a bottle of wine from his hand and handed it over, and started complaining.

"I don't know what you want to do?"

"Okay!" Boudica, who was still a little depressed, immediately shouted excitedly when she saw this.

"Don't drink so much. I won't care about you if you throw up on the boat."

Lance smiled and warned her that the mission was over, so there was no need to restrict her anymore. It was still necessary to relax appropriately in a high-pressure environment.

"I know...Boss, you are really annoying." Boudica replied nonchalantly, turned around and took a sip. The spiciness and excitement diverted her attention, and the alcohol numbed the tense nerves.

The interaction between the three of them made Audrey seem out of place. I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car.

This made her start to think about why she became like this?

"How are you?"

A greeting brought Audrey's thoughts back to reality. She looked up at the man and couldn't help but sigh. How long had it been since she had felt that pure concern?

"Um?"

Lance's soft questioning made Audrey react, and she could only signal with a wry smile.

"fine."

But he didn't react until he finished speaking, and quickly asked Lance.

"That... where is my antidote?"

That posture was completely gone from the arrogance and madness of before, but rather timid. It was Hamlet who transformed a human being.

"Didn't I give it to you?" Lance was a little surprised when he heard her words, and then added, "It's the bottle I gave you when I came in."

Audrey was stunned when she heard these words, her expression was indescribably strange.

What! That bottle of potion is actually the real antidote?

Then what are you going to do?

Why were you beaten?

What the hell am I doing?

The complex mixture of emotions made her look a little crazy, her eyes filled with tears unconsciously, and she murmured some words that were difficult to understand.

"Did you lose it?" Lance couldn't help but ask when he saw this, which made Audrey no longer think about anything else. She quickly rummaged through the package on her waist and took out the ordinary bottle of potion.

She was like someone who suddenly saw water in the desert after being thirsty for many days. She took out the lid and drank it without hesitation.

After all, she made it out alive, and Lance was not willing to embarrass her.

As if he knew her character, he immediately used his ability a little. In an instant, Audrey felt a spasm in her stomach, and was driven by a strong sense of vomiting and vomited it out.

When Audrey was dizzy from vomiting, Lance used a trick to pick out a non-existent seed from among the filth with a dagger and signal it.

"it's here."

As he said that, he immediately crushed it with the tip of his sword, completely ending this lie.

Now Audrey couldn't hold it in any longer and cried directly.

This made it a bit difficult for Lance to understand. Shouldn't it be a good thing to solve it? Why did you cry when you were doing so well?

It's just that it's okay to cry. It's better if you cry. What's accumulated in your heart is the pressure. If you cry, it will be gone.

Lance is still very tolerant.

At this time, the soldiers stationed outside seemed to hear the noise coming from here, and they could see in directly when the door was opened.

"Lord Lord!"

Seeing this, Lance didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly approached him and asked.

"How long have we been in there?"

"Report! Five days."

Lance couldn't help but frown when he heard the soldier's words. The environment in the extremely dark dungeon blurred the concept of time, and who would care about this during a fight.

Five days plus the two days of cleaning the old house, seven days passed immediately. Time passed like a fast horse. Why don't you think he was in a hurry?

However, Lance still suppressed his emotions and calmly picked up the topic and asked about the surrounding situation during the time he disappeared.

The answer is no, the cultists have been killed before, and as for the skeletons in the ruins, they cannot spread to this remote place.

Lance was both surprised and not surprised by this situation.

The surprise is that even after reaching the dark dungeon, the ancestors haven't moved yet. Could it be that he is just like the rotten fish of the Ascension Sect?

It was not surprising because he knew that the Ascension Sect had changed its name. There were not many people left here, and it would take a while even if they wanted to come.

"Guard here, no entry or exit is allowed without my order."

"yes!"

Lance knew that he had to seize this window period to do things as soon as possible.

A fast boat returned the team, along with a rotating group of soldiers, back to Hamlet.

They did not disembark at the port pier, but at the navy pier on the other side, so few outsiders could know about his actions, and the same was true for the troop movements.

These rotating soldiers have to go to the ruins front line to replace the fighting ones.

No matter how strong the army is, it cannot withstand the pressure of the battlefield for a long time. It takes time to relieve the accumulated pressure, and effective rotation can maintain combat effectiveness and balance the combat experience of different teams.

Just use an elite team to fight every day, and if the rest don't go to the battlefield, they will soon fall into decline.

Someone was naturally responsible for the mobilization of the army, and Lance and the team returned to loyal Hamlet.

Everything is normal here, and there are no problems because of his departure. It even attracts a large number of people because of the ruins.

Those who are brave enough can go up to the ruins, but there are many who are not brave enough and have derived some services based on this matter.

For example, brothels, casinos and taverns are monopolized by lords. The water here is so deep that even the big powers have touched it, let alone ordinary people.

As for fishing, gathering, hunting, or other work, everything here belongs to the lord, and unless you have an official license, it is illegal.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to obtain a license. First, you must be a local or have applied to join Hamlet.

This condition has blocked a large number of immigrants, but prosperity requires a lot of labor to maintain, and there are many job opportunities.

Among them, carrying goods with human flesh has become a good way out. The route from the city to the frontline new town is very busy.

The reason is that transportation capacity and resources are concentrated and invested in construction, so the missing part needs manpower to fill it.

Everyone knows that shipping goods is more profitable, but Lance is not a businessman, he needs to consider the operation of the territory.

In order to complete as much construction as possible before the onset of winter snow season, otherwise the progress of the project will be stalled when heavy snow comes.

What's even more troublesome is that there are not enough buildings to shelter from the wind and snow, and many people will freeze to death. This is not an adjective, but a fact.

Therefore, a part of the basic transportation capacity is reserved to ensure the supply of materials to control prices, and a small price difference is given to make it profitable for those who transport goods by force, which can be regarded as indirectly stabilizing them.

But there is also a saying here that if there are vehicles, or animals such as cattle and horses, then corresponding permits are required to transport them.

This is a rule formulated by Lance after many considerations. The artificial price difference is a way for ordinary people to survive. The rule is to restrict organized businessmen from taking advantage of Hamlet's wool.

The lord's will is against the invisible hand, and in Hamlet he has the final say.

After returning, the team dispersed and left. Boudica and Lance returned home, but Boudica immediately fell asleep and didn't even care about the various filth on her body, which showed how tired she was.

Lance was tired too, but he had to take a shower before going to bed anyway.

At this time, Greendale knew that he was back and gave a brief report on the recent situation, as well as the list of suspicious persons.

Lance didn't pay much attention to the appearance of some extraordinary beings here. Since he said that rules are greater than the church, there must be some.

But the legion caught his attention.

"Did we spread the rumor about the empire's treasure?"

Lance was soaking in the bucket. The bathhouse was not open during the day, not to mention that he fell asleep when the water in the pool was heated.

"No, we have also traced it, but it is probably just the fantasy of those adventurers, and no traces of other organizations have been found in it."

Lance couldn't help but smile when he heard it, "No matter who it is, whether it is intentional or unintentional, this news is good for us anyway."

The purpose of the ruins is to attract more people, and now it doesn't matter if there is one more rumor.

"What about the legion? Is there any news now?"

“They should still be inside the ruins, but the specific situation is not clear yet, because they went deep too fast, and they were not seen coming out to replenish supplies.

However, they are very active in killing those evil spirits and are powerful. Our people found a lot of traces of killing. "

Seeing Lance ask about this, Greendale also talked about the situation at that time.

"We feel that the Legion does not look like humans, but they have not actively harmed anyone, and they are heading directly towards the ruins with a very obvious purpose."

"Amanda might know something. Let's ask her then. She should go back to sleep now."

Lance couldn't hide his tiredness when he said this. He simply cleaned up and then went back to lie down. He smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and couldn't help but empty his mind. He was too lazy to think about anything.

Greendale was helping him wipe his hair, but soon discovered that Lance had fallen asleep...
