Our family is in decline

"What did you say?"

"Why did you tell me now?"

"Where is he?"

Somewhere in the Shipwreck Bay, the broker was telling the pirate leader above him about what happened yesterday.

However, the information about Black Jack's treasure immediately excited him, and he asked questions one after another, but the broker didn't know what to say. However, it was obviously impossible for him to say that he had fallen asleep, so he could only say some good things.

"There have been too many news about Black Jack's treasure in recent years. I am not sure whether this news is true or not. I thought that person was a liar, so I wanted to investigate the truth, but he disappeared today.

When he told me, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense. After all, who knew that the three things were not treasure maps but shells, and he dared to make that thing public. I think I still have to tell you, sir."

The pirate also acquiesced when he heard this. After all, there were too many false news. It was normal not to dare to say anything without confirmation, but he was unwilling.

"Can you find that person?"

"No, when I wanted to find them today, I found that they had already gone out to sea." The broker answered perfectly, because the first thing he did when he woke up was to try to find someone to investigate, but unfortunately he got nothing.

"Don't tell anyone else about this. You will know the result in ten days."

After all, he is a big pirate who has been in business for many years. He did not lose his mind because of this news. It is best to suppress it now. When the time comes, just catch the man directly.

Yes, they do things in such a simple and rough way.

But the broker seemed a little embarrassed and denied it.

"It's unlikely..."

"Why?"

"Because he is not looking for me alone. Now the news has probably spread."

At this time, a person suddenly ran in from outside, reporting with a little excitement and excitement.

"Captain, there is a situation. Now there are all news about Black Jack's treasure outside. A guy said..."

"Okay! I knew about this a long time ago." The pirate frowned and interrupted his subordinates and drove them away, and then he looked at the broker.

"You are smart, what do you think he wants to do?"

This really stumped the broker. Not to mention that he didn't know, even if he knew, he didn't dare to say it, so he could only perfunctorily.

"He said that he couldn't find the other two pieces, so he might as well take them out to see if he could find anything. Maybe he could lead to the other two pieces and crack the secret."

Will the big pirate believe it? It doesn't matter to the broker. He just needs to know that he finally got away.

Going outside, you can really feel that the whole town is excited about this matter. People are discussing this matter on the streets and alleys, and even the prostitute is talking about it.

There is no way. Even though so many years have passed, Black Jack, who once established the Shipwreck Bay and is the only pirate king in this area, is so famous that everyone wants to become the next pirate king, and the treasure left by that guy naturally becomes the object of competition.

Even if these things happened before, it would not be their turn. It must be a confrontation between the big pirates at the top.

But now that person actually revealed relevant information, looking for the other two pieces, and at the same time actually made that thing public to see who can crack the secret.

Now they couldn't help but fantasize. I am the man who wants to be the Pirate King! What if I am the son of destiny and discover the secret?

If the topic of Hamlet dominated before, now the topic of [Black Jack's Treasure] swept instantly and even spread out.

The pirates didn't want to leave, so they squatted here waiting for the news. The pirates outside who were originally provoked to attack Hamlet's route also hurried back after receiving the news, fearing that they would miss this grand event.

After all, looting can be done at any time, but this kind of thing will be gone if you miss it.

Lance's simple plan disrupted the situation, and I don't know what those people behind them think?

What else can I think? Of course, join in!

Did anyone think that there might be any problems here?

Of course.

But who can resist the clues of a pirate king's treasure? Even for them, as for Hamlet, just put it aside for ten days anyway.

At this time, Lance and his team finally returned to Hamlet by boat. Wilson and his team needed to prepare for the next battle, while Lance was found by William and his team to report a strange stone circle found in the northwest of the wilderness.

The barren land, strange woods, and huge stones with various rune patterns were arranged in a strange shape. Looking inside, the ruins of buildings were vaguely visible in the dead silence. It was no wonder that they chose to turn back.

Hearing this, Lance took out the map of the ancestor and compared it with them. He found that this place had been developed before. It should be that the wilderness swallowed this area.

As for the appearance of extraordinary rituals, Lance was not surprised. After all, the ancestor had been here for more than ten years, and the beast cave ruins were inevitable.

If there were no pirates, Lance would not mind exploring. After all, if this place was to be developed later, it would be solved sooner or later.

But the problem was that the pirate issue was imminent, and he did not have so much energy to focus on other things. He hesitated for a moment and could only suppress it temporarily.

"Since there is no outward manifestation, let's put it aside for now and have people pay attention to the situation over there. It is really inconvenient to mobilize too many people in winter."

Lance would not reveal too much information about the pirates casually, not because he didn't believe them, but because it was unnecessary. After all, the naval officers who were brought out were under direct closed management, and it was actually wartime now.

This matter is put aside for the time being, but it also reminds Lance that who knows how many mines the ancestor has buried in this land, and a detailed investigation is still necessary if necessary.

It was Hamlet's rule to take money from Boudica's account to pay bonuses to several other people. There would be subsidies for missions, and they had no intention of shirking it.

But after the others dispersed, Boudica seemed a little depressed. It wasn't that she cared about money, she really had no idea about this thing, but she was unhappy that she didn't catch the escaping mad dog this time. This was something she couldn't do. Accept it, after all, you promised the boss that you would catch the dog back, but now you come back empty-handed.

"Boss..."

"Okay, it's just a dog. Since it runs into the depths of the wilderness, just make sure it won't hurt anyone."

Lance knew what she was thinking without even saying a word, and smiled gently to comfort her.

It was okay if she didn't say it, but as soon as she said it, she felt embarrassed, and the little grievances emerged even more.

"I wonder if it hadn't snowed, I would have caught it..."

"Okay, this is over. Now you should go see your wolf cub, otherwise it won't recognize you. I'll take you to kill people later."

"Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you? It's so cool."

Boudica was always satisfied so easily. After Lance promised to take her to play, he quickly got rid of the negative emotions and became full of energy and expectation again.

After comforting Boudica, Lance began to deal with those affairs. He said that he would finish the pirates in ten days.

But this time Tamara came.

Lance thought she was trying to cause trouble, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her now, but he didn't expect Tamara to come over and directly explain the attitude of the Roma organization.

"The news that Amanda became the champion caused a reaction from the organization. They seemed to realize that there was something wrong with their previous decision, and they are expected to contact Amanda soon."

Sure enough, the capriciousness and shamelessness of the Roma people are clearly demonstrated. There are not many strong world champions, let alone spell casters. Only those who have embarked on the path of the Omen Seeker will know how difficult it is to practice both magic and martial arts.

Before, when Amanda was stuck on the master threshold, they simply kicked her out. Now that they knew she was promoted to champion, they came over to build a relationship. Everyone knew what was behind this.

But Lance has always been indifferent.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you afraid that Amanda will leave Hamlet and go back to the organization?"

"That is her freedom, not to mention that Hamlet is not a place that can only be entered and cannot be exited. I will respect her choice."

"The organization is not interested in Amanda herself, but the secret of her promotion. Aren't you afraid that she will leak it?"

Tamara said directly that there are very complicated conditions for the improvement of extraordinary people's strength, and these are the core secrets that no one is willing to reveal. Many talented people are wasting their time in the groping stage, in vain. Waste of time.

The fact that Amanda was able to break through the bottleneck so quickly after leaving the organization, and then be promoted to the championship without any follow-up path, is enough to show that she has mastered a new method, which is what the organization longs for.

Do you think Lance is in a hurry?

The key to this thing is on yourself. No matter how many Roma people check it, it will be useless. If a few prophecies and divination people come, Lance will be waiting to receive gifts.

"Then just ask, Amanda will tell them later."

Lance wouldn't blame Amanda for something that hadn't happened yet, let alone doubt her because of a few words.

"Are you really not afraid of leaking at all?" Tamara was speechless when she saw Lance. Should I say you are confident or stupid?

"There is nothing to reveal. Amanda's improvement in strength is entirely due to her own talent and hard work."

Tamara looked at Lance with a "do you think I believe it?" look and asked, "She is really so powerful that she won't be stuck at the bottleneck for so long and be considered to have exhausted her potential by the superiors?"

"That's because your organization used her as a tool, which caused her psychological problems. I just need to help her with it."

"So many people in the organization don't know that you are the only one who knows?"

"Because I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovery. Didn't you also get discovered by me?"

Tamara was also stunned for a moment, as if it was okay to think this way, after all, she could not question her talent.

"What the hell is this!" Tamara also realized that what she said was nonsense, and asked in turn, "You still don't believe me."

"How could it be?"

Lance smiled, but the more this happened, the more Tamara felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, it felt like a punch on cotton.

Knowing that Lance didn't want to believe it, or that he had too many entanglements with her, Tamara felt inexplicably aggrieved, as if she had lost something important.

Not to mention the favoritism and trust shown to Amanda, which made her even more jealous.

Sometimes people are like this. They don’t cherish what they get easily, and they only regret it when they lose it.

Lance was busy and had no time to care about her mental activities. On the surface, Hamlet was hibernating in the winter, but in fact, many people were mobilized in the name of exercise escort, including more than a thousand navy and more than 30 modified ships. Ships were active at the military dock far away from the port.

However, at this time, just as Tamara said, the Roma came.

It may be to save time, so it is not a big shot, but to let Sera come from Totnes.

Of course, it may also be considered that Sera is more familiar with Amanda, or the faction behind her wants to win over Amanda first. Anyway, she came to Hamlet as quickly as possible.

But she is not qualified to see Lance, and this trip is not for business anyway.

"You hide it from me so hard!"

When Sera saw Amanda, she teased like crying, "If you had told me earlier that you were also a champion, I would have sunk her ship directly, and I would not have to serve her?"

Amanda knew that Sera was talking about Tamara, but she didn't believe a word of it. She just knew that she had a conflict with Tamara, and she was deliberately trying to please herself.

"Tell me, what's the matter that made you come here so quickly?"

"Big news! I came here as soon as I received the news. I don't know how many years it has been since the sea was so lively."

"Could it be about Black Jack?"

"How do you know?"

"Hamlet also has a dock port. Although it is not as close to pirates as Totnes, so many merchants still bring back a lot of news."

Amanda naturally knew that she didn't come here for this, and she said this just to show her goodwill and open up the topic.

But everyone is smart, so don't talk nonsense. She dared to show her strength in front of Tamara, and she had guessed the attitude of the higher-ups.

"Uh..." After Sera hesitated for a while, she realized that her methods were useless against this cunning guy, so she just said it directly, "Well! I'll be frank. After knowing that you have been promoted to champion, the higher-ups want to ask about your attitude."

"No."

Amanda's answer was too straightforward, and the smile on her face seemed very satisfied, as if she was deliberately waiting for Sera to ask these questions.

"This is not a good idea, after all, we are all Roma." Sera actually knew the answer, but she had to ask since her superiors asked her to. Seeing such a decision, she felt helpless.

"Let's not talk about how they kicked me away at that time. If I agree to go back, they will definitely let me be the head of the empire. Are you willing to do that?

And once I leave, the lord will most likely cancel the deal. Even if he doesn't cancel it, do you think the person who will replace me can cover for you?"
