Our family is in decline

Lance would not think that such a short period of contact between the two parties could make Tamara inclined to him or die-hard, and that she would not be narcissistic to this extent. On the contrary, he had a clear understanding.

First of all, Tamara has a criminal record and a very bad personality. She had some connections before and had to rely on herself to gain leverage in the organization, but it is very likely that this will be the case after she has established a foothold in the organization.

After all, the top management of the Roma organization cannot really let Tamara lean towards outsiders and will definitely do her job. It is also possible for Tamara to give up for resources or other benefits.

Although this is a pity for Lance, it is also very profitable to exchange for Amanda. She is much more reliable than Tamara in Hamlet.

"I had a hard time reaching her."

Greendale knew something was wrong when she saw Lance being silent, and her face turned ugly when she heard this.

"If you hadn't saved her, it's not certain whether she would have survived. She would have been killed by the wizard or Amanda.

What's more, if she didn't have your support later, how could she, a traitor, be freed and return to the organization? How long has it been since this happened, and I say those Roma people can’t be trusted! "

"Sigh~ In fact, we did not give her any help after Tamara returned. It is normal for her to get internal support and alienate us. There is nothing strange.

The Roma people are not trustworthy, but Amanda is trustworthy, and she does her best for us. Don't say such things outside, as it will hurt everyone's feelings. "

Lance was very calm, because he had already entered the dungeon, and Tamara was not important at all. It was just a random arrangement at the beginning.

"In just one or two days, I will set off for the dungeon again. Boudica and Amanda will stay, let the cavalry brigade come back, let Laura lead the scouts to disperse, and bring back half of the artillery..."

Lance pointed at the map and gave orders. He had already made drafts about these, and transferred many troops from the front line of the ruins back to arrange them in the surrounding areas.

"Not all the merchants, mercenaries, and doctors have left. Most of them are in New Town. If our troops withdraw too much, I'm afraid they will cause trouble."

"Why did I choose to put New Town in this position? It's because the outpost is in our hands, and it's useless no matter how much trouble those guys make.

More importantly, the ruins do not produce food. Do you know how much supplies so many people consume in a day? As long as we cut off the supply, they will have to eat bark grass roots within three days. "

Greendale knew that she was worrying too much. There was a reason why the lord could be the lord, and everything had been considered.

"Who are you going to take?"

"Junia, Baldwin, and..."

At this moment, Lance suddenly hesitated. Junia was the one he planned to use to break the sanctuary ritual, while Baldwin wanted to die because of his lack of strength. So he quickly pulled him up before all parties responded.

But the third one made it difficult for him to say, because he planned to summon the limp, but he was worried that it would arouse the opinions of the other two. After all, many people could not accept working with the Void Demon.

In particular, both of them have church backgrounds. Although they were persuaded by themselves to separate the concepts of faith and religion,...

"How about I go?"

Greendale seemed to have noticed Lance's hesitation, and asked a question.

However, Lance shook his head, "There is no soil in the dungeon, so your abilities cannot be used."

But he quickly made a decision, "Transfer a team of ten people from the Guards. You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it."

This is not a game with a player limit, the real limit is just environmental factors.

What kind of moral principles should we talk to cultists? Come on, everyone!

Now that the first floor has been opened up, Lance is ready to increase his efforts. After all, time is life. If it weren't for the fact that the guards inside the ruins needed to perform tasks and heroes to monitor and control the situation, he really wanted to transfer them all back and rush into the dungeon.

"It just so happens that you can go and check on Boudica and Amanda for me when you have time. They are probably in a lot of pain."

Lance continued to explain, and he didn't mean to talk too much nonsense. He didn't have much energy to focus on these things. What was more important was the leftover information. He needed to find out why the dungeon was so weird now.

Only by understanding the plans of the ancestor and the cult leader can we carry out the next action.

Greendale also saw what Lance meant, agreed and turned around to leave...

As the day slowly falls into the evening, most people get off work or go home from the fields, ready to eat and sleep to end the day. Those who have some spare money can also start nightlife.

But for Amanda, who just returned from the dungeon during the day, she had just woken up.

The sound outside the door was caused by Greendale knocking on the door to wake her up.

"You haven't rested yet, okay?" Greendale looked at Amanda who looked like she hadn't woken up. "Should we go to dinner together now?"

"No, I don't have much appetite."

Amanda was a little more awake, but her face was still a little pale, and her speech seemed weak.

Not everyone can recover as quickly as Lance. The shadow that the dungeon brought to them can even be said to have shrouded them for the rest of their lives. Now Amanda's reaction is normal.

"I won't disturb your rest. After you wake up, go take a shower, eat, and breathe fresh air." Greendale raised her hand and took out a bottle of light blue potion and handed it over, adding: "This is You should know how to use herbal medicine to soothe your nerves.”

"Oh, thank you."

Amanda didn't refuse anything anymore and reached out to take it.

Here, Greendale left Amanda and was in a daze for a while before slowly waking up from the nothingness.

Looking at the potion in his hand, I remembered what I just said, and couldn't help but look down at myself.

Although it was all about throwing and whipping, and not many melee attacks, it was inevitable that there would be some filth in such a scene, and the smell of sweat was really unpleasant.

To be honest, she was also a little germy, but she was so tired that she forgot about it, which was really uncomfortable.

Soon she came to the bathing place. As the temperature dropped, and it was promoted in Hamlet, more importantly, everyone had some spare money.

Who doesn’t like the feeling of clean and refreshing? Everyone is restricted by conditions, so now that the conditions are better, there are many more people entering and leaving the bathhouse.

There is a large bathhouse here, but with Amanda's status and personality, it is impossible to mix bathing with those people. In fact, there are always single bathhouses here.

There is no pool inside, but a large wooden barrel with shower facilities and special bathing facilities.

It is specially prepared for various medicinal bath projects. After all, various medicines are very expensive, and they are all adjusted according to the amount of water.

If a higher concentration of medicine is needed in a large bath, a higher price will be required, and no one is willing to make it cheaper for others.

This kind of special wooden barrel is suitable for one person, requires fewer medicinal bath materials, can keep the price down, and can also have a certain effect.

Of course, the price is much more expensive than ordinary bathing. Whether it is a medicated bath or an independent space, ordinary people cannot afford it.

But Amanda is a little rich woman. She is not short of money at all. Let’s not talk about Lance’s bounty. If she really had no money, she could still rip off Sierra and ruthlessly embezzle the funds of the Roma people.

She comes here often on weekdays, and the staff at the bathhouse also know that she is a big shot, and they just greet her casually and someone will help her handle various things.

I didn't even bother to take a quick shower to clean myself, and just stepped into the big bucket.

When her body was immersed in the warm water, Amanda felt inexplicably much more relaxed. The buoyancy lifted up the mountains and alleviated the tightness in her chest. This was why she liked taking a bath.

She took out the potion given by Greendale, opened it and smelled it. A fresh smell came out but was not strong. Even she had to admit that Hamlet's strongest pharmacist's mixing skills were there.

The medicinal bath materials that ordinary people use are made from raw liquids that are blended in large quantities. The effect is diluted many times. Of course, only in this way can they bear it.

The thing she has in her hand is something that Greendale specially researched and prepared for extraordinary people. The effect is better, and it can even be called hard currency, because the quantity is rare, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

The blue potion fell into the water and soon dyed the water into a light blue, and her whole body relaxed, and the pressure caused by the dungeon phobia gradually subsided.

Audrey could only hide in the hotel like a wild dog, silently suffering the torment caused by the sequelae of entering the dungeon.

The pressure may have tortured her into a human shape and completely distorted her sanity, or it may have been many days until the hotel staff came in to find her curled up, dead, or even rotting and giving off a foul smell.

After all, the weather is getting colder now, and no one really knows that she is dead within three to five days.

But Amanda is able to get the care of her companions and has various means to relieve the pressure caused by it.

Who can be blamed for the gap?

They should be doing things, decompressing things. Lance was not very clear about the specific situation. After he came back, he had been working on those documents in the room. Even when he was eating, he would just pick them up a few times, which can be regarded as a waste of sleep and food.

Lance can't be said to be very smart. He doesn't have the genius-like ideas of his ancestors. However, having experienced the modern information explosion, he has a natural advantage in information processing. His understanding ability is not comparable to that of people in this era who are bound by their thoughts. .

He didn't know how the ancestor gave orders to those cult leaders, but he could deduce it from the information the leader gave to the people below.

It doesn’t need to be very detailed, just a general idea, and piece together more information bit by bit.

There is no doubt that the ancestor planned to sacrifice millions of people to Hamlet, and then use this power to parasitize the ancient god Shena, but this foolproof plan went wrong.

Originally, Lance thought the failure was caused by the church saints leading people into the dungeon, but in fact the real reason turned out to be that millions of lives failed to allow the ancestor to complete the ritual.

It's equivalent to insufficient sacrifices, and he is immediately stuck, unable to move up or down. It is impossible for you to ask him to give up, so he is trapped by himself.

The people in the church still don't know if the seal is useful. Anyway, the ancestor did not give up after being trapped, but actively sought a solution.

Supporting the Ascension Sect and constantly provoking wars within the scope of the ritual, the lives that died will be absorbed by the ritual and become the power of his parasitic ancient god.

It is equivalent to a cancer cell, which needs to continuously devour and corrupt other normal cells to obtain strength and nutrients, so that it can finally infect the entire life.

Ascension sects, pigmen, and invisible flesh and blood are probably also the ancestor's meals. The [Heart of Flesh and Blood] was probably cultivated by the ancestor who wanted to break away from the shackles of rituals.

It's just that these things have gone in another direction because of the arrival of Lance, because white blood cells can also eat them, and it depends on who eats whom first.

But why is the butler in the game so active in pushing players to eliminate all parties and then enter the dungeon?

Lance was lost in his thoughts. His mind was filled with messy thoughts, but he soon caught a clue and the messy information was sorted out.

"I understand... I understand... So that's how it is..."

Lance suddenly laughed, the innocence in his expression uncontrollable.

suspect? Enlightenment!

To put it simply, the ancestor is now trapped deep in the dungeon and can only corrupt the outside world through some special means, and his impact on the outside world is limited.

If he wants to keep the ritual, but also to break away, he needs to create a perfect clone to replace himself.

That’s why the butler gave players various props to encourage them to enter the dungeon, and then used the [Hand of Praise] left by the church to seal the ritual. This actually helped the ancestors suspend the ritual.

This allowed him to use [Heart of Flesh] to clone himself, replace the body trapped in the ritual, and free the body.

When the time comes when the main body breaks free from the shackles, wouldn't it be a joke to teach those who sealed it in front of the ancestors? And if he can appear in the real world outside, the corruption will make the world turbulent.

If a population of one million is not enough, then the ancestor will sacrifice all the lives in the world to become a god.

I understand everything!

After Lance figured it out, he calmed down and couldn't help but sigh - the ancestor is so calculating!

No wonder they had to use so many things, including legendary equipment, limp people, and a large number of priests, just to break the saint's power and take away the items.

But now he was the one who had the initiative. Lance took out the [Heart of Flesh and Blood], felt the power in it, and couldn't help but twist his mouth.

The reason why he returned was because he was worried that there would be trouble if the church's ritual was broken, and he wanted to investigate before making a decision. But now that he understood it, Lance became bolder.

I originally planned to rest for a few days, but now I am taking a break and hurry up.

"Quickly, call Baldwin over, and have someone go to New Town to inform them that I want Junia and a bodyguard on standby."

Lance walked out quickly, called Susan, and ordered her to go down.

As if sensing the urgency, he immediately responded and turned around to exit.

"yes!"
