Our family is in decline

The power of sacrifice completely wiped out the guy who didn't even have a name left. Perhaps he himself had long forgotten what his name was.

"I'll send you back first, and I'll go see if Amanda is doing well."

Lance raised his hand to teleport Alhazred back to the city, but he didn't leave directly, but took the gift from the void.

A faceless mask, like a curved wax sheet, with traces of wax liquid melting and solidifying on it.

[Melting wax mask], and this thing has only one function, that is, shaping, and can change into different faces.

To be honest, the function is very useless, but the good thing about this thing is that there are no side effects, and anyone can use it.

The second one is a bit interesting, a heart-shaped wax ball that can be grasped by one hand, and there are also traces of melting wax on the surface.

[Melting wax puppet], and the function of this thing is to create a wax puppet. The reason why Lance finds it interesting is that the strength of this clone depends on the resources invested, that is, this thing can grow.

If divinity is used as the material, then...

Lance didn't dwell on it too much, because there was another one.

It was a human-shaped statue the size of three fingers, but the whole body was covered with melted wax, covering up the details.

[Melted wax substitute], can bear some damage for the holder, note that it is a part, not all, and there is an upper limit.

But the real power lies in that this thing can repair itself, not those disposable equipment, as long as it does not exceed the upper limit, it is equivalent to a permanent damage reduction armor.

Lance has sacrificed too many things, and has received many gifts. Generally, they are transformed into spirituality. Only some people who have mastered special abilities will be exploded with equipment, and most of these equipment are the condensation or embodiment of their power.

And this guy is really worthy of being an old thing who has lived for who knows how many years. He exploded three pieces of equipment, and they are all very interesting things.

The other two are difficult to test. Lance took the mask and pressed it on his face. Sure enough, the next second, the melted wax began to change and fit on the face, and the skin color matched perfectly, as if it grew out of the face.

Although Lance felt something on his face, the foreign body sensation was not severe and did not affect his strength.

And changing his face was also easy under control. Perhaps he could take this out without exposing his identity, and he could also play different roles.

Lance was like a child who got a toy, constantly testing the mask, and at the same time turned around and walked into the tomb to completely erase the things left by that guy.

The former imperial princess Sophia is now just Hamlet's perfumer Sophia.

After she finally gave in and stopped making trouble, Lance transferred her out of the winery and gave her a studio, and her daily job was to make perfume.

Lance invested in her to do research. In addition to finding something for her to do, it was mainly for technical reserves. After all, perfume is a huge market, but few people sell their products to ordinary people.

To be honest, she was a little worried at first, but soon she adapted to Hamlet's rhythm, because no one cared about her at all, and there were too many people with stories here.

On weekdays, she just stayed in the studio to do what she liked and invested her time in developing perfume. She didn't need to worry or worry about other things. She just needed to write down a list and someone would deliver it.

However, the pirate incident was very serious recently, and there were too many criminals to be interrogated, so she was asked to mix some psychedelic drugs, but she didn't know why the lord suddenly called her.

After all, she really hadn't seen him since the last conversation. The man had never looked for her once, as if he had really forgotten.

And the place he asked her to go was even more strange... the sanatorium.

As someone who knew some inside information, the sanatorium was not a good place. If she had any problems, she would not dare to go in. Sophia stood at the door and thought about it to make sure that she had no problems before she walked in with a nervous mood.

She was taken directly to a room and saw the lord who was flipping through something and greeted him respectfully.

"My lord?"

"This matter may have something to do with you, so I asked you to come and see it." Lance looked at the visitor with a strange expression, but quickly closed the book he had just received and raised his hand to signal her to look aside.

Sophia looked at the white cloth covering the dissection bed, lifted a corner with doubt, and fell silent when she saw the face of the corpse.

Although the pale face was a little different from the impression, how could she forget it...

After a while, Sophia seemed to calm down and spoke.

"How could it appear here?"

"You should have heard that someone wanted to release the plague. We investigated and finally found a powerful necromancer, and this knight was made into a puppet by him.

As the investigation deepened, the knight's identity was revealed, and the truth about your attack was also mentioned. Someone did reveal the route of the convoy..."

"No need to say, these things are in the past."

Sophia interrupted Lance before he finished speaking. She had finally lived a few days of peace and had lost interest in those court struggles. Her eyes returned to the corpse.

"He has paid enough for our family. Can I take him away and bury him?"

"His body has been transformed. He looks like he just died, but he has been dead for a long time. He is stained with the breath of the dead. I suggest burning him to truly end his pain. Otherwise, problems will easily arise."

Lance did not say anything to comfort her, because he could feel that Sophia was more depressed, not too emotional.

But it is true. There are plots in knight novels where princesses fall in love with knights, but they are mostly just novels.

In fact, the nobles' guardian knights are used for consumption. There is no such thing as worth it. They are selected and trained, and their mission is to sacrifice themselves at the critical moment to protect the target.

Sophia threw the torch into the pile of firewood. The strange thing was that the frozen corpse began to melt after contacting the flames, until the flames devoured the corpse.

Everyone has his own mission, but he has already completed it...

Another day, the crowd gathered on the square, but compared with the turbulence of the previous few days, it was much more restrained. It was not that no one paid attention, but they knew that they could not see it even if they gathered together. It would be more interesting to wait for those storytellers and actors to put the story together.

That's right, it's impossible to talk to ordinary people about big principles and let them read tedious case reports, but there are some things that everyone likes.

Lance made a murderous move, that is, to find someone to make up the stories of those pirates and nobles into a story and arrange a drama.

The plot is of course to reflect the cruelty of pirates, the evil of nobles, and the pity of civilians. The pirates were finally defeated by the brave and fearless Hamlet warriors.

Maybe it's a bit rough, and the preparation time is still too slow, but the simple plot, clear faces, and the simplest sense of pleasure still attracted everyone's love.

These things will be supplemented and improved as long as they develop. When the whole classic comes out, it will nail this matter.

The development of military force should also pay attention to the development of culture. This is an invisible but sharper weapon.

These days, Lance took time to deal with the troubles behind the trial ceremony, but it didn't expand. On the contrary, it showed considerable restraint, but no one dared to make trouble.

Today, Lance took time out of his busy schedule to meet some special people.

Today we are using the school auditorium, and only this indoor space can accommodate hundreds of people gathered in the hall.

Most of them are various superhumans, and basically they are wild. They are awakened, or get something, or are from declining superhuman families or forces due to various adventures or inexplicable reasons.

Anyway, when they become superhumans and step into the superhuman world, they are defined as "evil" by some guys, and those superhuman churches with organizations and backgrounds pretend not to know.

In fact, it was said a long time ago that it is just that those superhuman organizations monopolize the means of superhuman power and mysticism. Either join them or become their material.

Other superhuman organizations also acquiesce, and even are among them, but because the empire is a region dominated by the church, the overbearing behavior is particularly prominent.

Because of the persecution of the church, the superhumans can only hide everywhere, like rats in the sewer.

Either hide your identity and communicate through secret small gatherings, or go to the superhuman black market like Rat Street.

Or they are like Francis, the fire wizard under Count Bastia, who was forced to work for those noble bureaucrats in order to seek protection.

To put it nicely, they are consultants, but they don’t have such good conditions as Hamlet. They are just dogs for the master.

Anyway, there are two types of extraordinary people, one is those with powerful backgrounds, and the other is individual people. Do you think they don’t want to join? Isn’t it good to get the protection of the organization?

But the problem is why do they accept you?

The extraordinary power is too chaotic, there are only so many resources, and everyone’s talents are different... There are too many reasons.

So most of the individual people are relatively low-level, and they may even just rely on their equipment.

Sometimes you are greedy for other people’s interests, and others want your capital.

And Hamlet suddenly appeared and broke this situation. Anyway, it has spread in the circle that you don’t need to buy your life, as long as you abide by the rules here, you will be protected, and there are many benefits if you join.

For them, they finally don’t have to worry about being robbed by the black, and it’s good to have a stable place.

In fact, many extraordinary people hold a wait-and-see attitude towards Hamlet. As individual people, they are cautious and will not believe in anything easily. Having their own thoughts and judgments is the key to their survival.

In other words, only a few people come here...

After the agreed time, Lance came out and nodded slightly to the audience. His smiling face and gentle tone made people naturally like him for some reason.

Without any breath, the lord who is the same as ordinary people is respected by everyone. After all, they have felt the "power" these days.

"You should have come to Hamlet for a while. The fact that you can accept the invitation is enough to show that we have the same concept and should end that chaos.

Everyone should understand the horror of extraordinary power and the price involved. We should have a consensus that extraordinary power should be controlled.

So we..."

Lance didn't waste any words and said directly that Hamlet forbids the use of extraordinary power at will, especially in front of ordinary people, especially in crowded areas.

There are also some uncertainties in their research, and harmful research needs to be stopped...

There are many detailed conditions. In fact, the so-called rules are another way to separate extraordinary people from ordinary people, or to "strip" extraordinary power out.

But the word "restriction" made the extraordinary people in the audience very uncomfortable, touching their sensitive nerves.

"Lord, but we didn't do anything."

"That's right, this is different from what we agreed."

Some people began to show resistance, but Lance was still calm but determined, and asked those extraordinary people a question.

"Think about why Hamlet made these rules?"

Seeing that no one answered, he asked again.

"What I want to fight for is the opportunity for everyone to live safely under the sun. Isn't it protecting everyone's interests? Do I have to watch you lose control, then kill you and eat your things? Is this freedom?"

This series of words directly turned off the fire of those extraordinary people. Of course, Lance also knew that it was just on the surface, and he had to throw carrots after hitting the stick.

"I know that many people here have become extraordinary people for no apparent reason. They lack a lot of basic knowledge and it is difficult for them to explore on their own. This is also the reason why extraordinary people have problems.

So I will open a place for extraordinary people. The first step is to open up the sorted basic knowledge for everyone to learn and provide everyone with a channel for learning and research.

Everyone is a teacher, everyone is also a student. At the same time, if you encounter problems in your research topics, you can apply for help..."

Lance does want to restrict those extraordinary people, but he also gives them a channel for advancement.

He is ready to take the lead in providing a new communication platform for extraordinary people. Lance will directly open up the knowledge that other forces have hidden. Although it is all basic, this is already a result that many people will find difficult to explore in their lifetime.

At the same time, he will provide help for the research that those extraordinary people want to do, including venues, funds, materials...

As for those who are tired of the extraordinary world and want to quit, as long as you don't use extraordinary power, no one will bother you.

You can even go to the authorities if you have any troubles...

"To be honest, these systems are still very rudimentary. It will take time to find problems and improve them, but I want to make the extraordinary people live with more dignity, prohibit mutual killing, and let the extraordinary power serve mankind.

It is your freedom to stay or leave. We will not interfere, but there are some things we must make clear first. If you stay, you must abide by the rules of the extraordinary people."

Lance spoke directly and said that those who don't want to stay can get out. (End of this chapter)
