our family is gone

Chapter 265 Suppression
"Is it better?" Lance boarded Tamara's carriage with food in his hand.

Once born, twice acquainted, Tamara didn't show much reaction to Lance's appearance. The whole person lay lazily half-lying, and glanced at Lance who came over, but she didn't want to let go of her mouth.

"Let that wolf of yours go away, the woman next to the wizard ran out and insisted on wandering around me."

"The front yard used to be Wangcai's territory, but now you occupy his place. It's normal for him to stare at you."

Lance looked at Tamara and couldn't help teasing when he saw her like this, "It seems that you are recovering well."

This is a fact, and one can probably feel that there is definitely something good in her hand, otherwise it would be impossible to recover so quickly.

The means of these extraordinary people are hidden deeper than one, and they will not reveal any details. Lance didn't bother to inquire, so he directly put the food over, and then asked her for advice.

"Do you know ghouls?"

She was in a bad state last night. Lance just asked the key and left. Now he can finally catch her and answer many things accumulated along the way.

"You guys are haunted by ghouls?" Tamara frowned when she heard this, as if she knew that this meal was not that simple.

"The ghoul was killed by me, but I found some strange things around the ghoul, like some kind of ritual."

Lance briefly described the situation at that time, and then showed Tamara the samples of the cytoplasm and maggots.

Tamara couldn't eat either, so she picked up something and looked at it for a while, and then she couldn't help frowning as if she was sure of something.

"This is the ritual of [Mother of Worms], but it's not clear what it is."

"What is the mother of worms?"

"An evil god enshrined by a cult, believers believe that there is a worm that is bigger than the world, and they respectfully call it the mother of worms.

At the same time, they think that everything in the world will be swallowed by the mother of worms, so they have a very strange habit of devouring corpses.

They believe that they can gain power through this, even if the corpse is a companion, but there are problems with these powers, and those believers will be transformed into monsters, so they are also called the ghoul sect.

It's just that this cult has disappeared many years ago, and I haven't heard any activities on the bright side of the empire for so many years. It's really strange to appear here. "

This... the views of the organization are too outrageous. The views of the Sons of Harvest Sect and the Ascension Sect are at least in line with the public opinion, but what is this ghoul?It's a bit magical to get believers in this way.

But after thinking about it carefully, it's not so strange, there are too many people with abnormal brains.

But put the problem back on the incident itself, devouring the corpse, wouldn't this be against the people of the Ascension Sect?
Recalling that the old thing once spent money to collect mystic knowledge from all over the world, maybe there is something related to it.

Could it be that the old ancestor incorporated the ghoul sect that believed in the mother of worms and transformed it into today's Ascension Sect?
So what is the use of this ghoul-watched ritual?

Occultism is a very rigorous discipline, because the cost of making mistakes is life, and rituals are the top priority of an organization and will not be leaked casually.

I can see the general genre, but it is still difficult to know the function of the ceremony, so Tamara is not sure about the specific function of the ceremony described by Lance.

But she can offer some advice.

"You might know about this by asking that woman, because this group seems to have originated in the Levant region. She follows the wizard, and she probably has a lot of contact with this kind of thing."

Lance knew that this guy wanted to divert his attention, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he took out something seized from the witch and asked her to help identify it.

"This is a supernatural item I got from killing a witch, please help me identify it."

It may be that she has recovered a lot, but Tamara did not have the initial resistance to these things.

"Rough craftsmanship is simply a waste of these materials. Who dares to use these things?"

After the one-sentence evaluation, she obviously disliked the rags made by witches, but she changed her words, "Although it's bad, but for the sake of our relationship, I'm still willing to take it back. It's a reward for saving me. ..."

Although Tamara was disdainful, she seemed a little strange. Her eyes swept over the banshee handaxe involuntarily, her greed was full, and she couldn't wait to get this treasure into her pocket.

But the ax was picked up by Lance in the next second, "You want this?"

Tamara's expression froze for a moment, she realized that her small movements were exposed, and her expression was a little awkward.

This reaction drew a burst of laughter from Lance.

"Hahaha! You really can't believe a word you say."

The witch cauldron and the soup spoon are in the hands of Grindel. Most of them are broken, but the hand ax is not simple, and the products produced by the system must be high-quality goods.

This guy Tamara didn't learn his lesson from the last time he suffered a loss, but she actually put her careful thoughts on herself again. This guy really doesn't change his mind.

She seemed to know that Lance needed a consultant in mysticism. Even after she was exposed, Tamara did not break her defenses. She pretended to be stupid, and her skin was unusually thick.

"I kind of know why you were chased." Lance couldn't help but tease, as long as she was like this, it was good that she wasn't beaten to death.

When talking about this, Tamara's face was a little ugly, and she asked immediately.

"Is there any city near here?"

"My place is the largest human gathering place nearby. If you want to escape, you probably have to go all the way north and leave the empire through the wilderness."

Speaking of which, Lance laughed and added: "As long as you pass through Hamlet, you can go west to the misty mountains, north to the permafrost, and east to the yellow sand desert. I guarantee that no one will be able to go to that kind of place." find you."

Lance said this simply because watching the excitement is not a big deal. The old road has long been destroyed by nature, and there is only a short section left, and the end is here.

What's more, with her attitude just now, even with him, she wouldn't say anything.

Tamara's face became more and more ugly as she heard it, and she even felt a little desperate here, and she was on a dead end.

But she quickly looked at Lance, this guy is so powerful, if he can help her...

The guy looked at Lance and knew what she was thinking.

"Is it an individual or an organization that is chasing you? What is the grievance between you, why are they chasing you?"

"Only one person, as long as you help me..."

Tamara blurted out, but was interrupted by Lance before she could finish.

"I will not participate in the grievances between you!"

When he said this, Lance's attitude was no longer as casual as before, but a little cold.

This guy was avoiding his own question as soon as he opened his mouth, and he still wanted to hide it at this time. Needless to say, he knew that the person she provoked was definitely not an ordinary individual, and there was a high probability that it was an organization.

Moreover, her strength is not bad. If she can be disabled with all the equipment, there is a high probability that it is some extraordinary organization.

Lance doesn't have the heart to provoke an organization for her now. Simply put, her value is out of balance in Lance's heart.

"After you leave Hamlet and run southwest along the old road for two or three days, you can reach a city, and then walk up to the imperial capital. No one dares to mess around there. A big city with a population of one million is enough for you to hide.

I need to warn you though, there's a cult going on around here, and you better hope you don't get caught, because those guys aren't as talkative as I am. "

Lance's words were equivalent to an expulsion order. Tamara originally maintained her identity, but now her face was pale, and the injury that had been suppressed was immediately affected by emotions.

He kept coughing, instinctively raised his hands and cupped his heart, looked weak, and looked at Lance with pitiful eyes.

Lance smiled and said nothing when he saw this, pretending to be pitiful was useless in front of him, what he valued was Tamara's knowledge of mysticism, and now that Catherine also had a good reserve of knowledge, her importance would be reduced.

The benefits and costs of sheltering her were out of balance.

And this guy is disobedient and can't tell his current situation, so Lance doesn't mind hitting her.

"I'm going to find Catherine. As for you, please take care of yourself. Remember to pack up when you leave."

After that, Lance packed up his things and turned to leave, as if he really didn't care at all.

"You said..." I couldn't help calling at the back, but Lance had already walked out.

Instead, Tamara fell into anxiety...

Lance didn't look for Catherine the first time he came out. He just mentioned that he just wanted to praise her to belittle her importance, making her feel that she didn't seem to be so important, and giving her some strength to find a sense of crisis.

But Lance really has one very important thing, he seems to have forgotten it for a long time, and he only remembered it when he saw Tamara just now.

I bought three cursed things with my own money at the bookstore on Rat Street in Totnes.

"Boundary of Dreams", "Spiritual Vision" and a copy sealed in a metal cylinder.

He had read the first two books, but the last one was left in the showroom and forgotten.

He probably remembered that the bookstore owner said that this thing would explode, so it was not suitable for indoor use.

Lance rushed to the beach far away from the town, and then took out the things.

A leather manuscript with a strange pattern drawn on it, as simple as a child's graffiti, it looks meaningless.

I didn't feel anything strange after studying it for a while, and I didn't understand where the so-called explosion was?Lance felt as if he had been cheated.

When Lance opened his eyes again, the power of [Spiritual Vision] revealed and peeped into the secrets hidden under the surface.

Those lines outline a simple pattern that looks like a map pointing somewhere.

No, it should be a sea chart. Unfortunately, Lance has no relevant knowledge, so it is difficult to identify the location indicated by this map, let alone what the place marked on it means.

Could it be a treasure map?

It was a scene that every boy had imagined, even Lance couldn't help but get excited.

It's a pity that there is no reference for this sea chart, no one knows which part of the vast sea, and now that the ancestor is watching, how can he put everything down to find the illusory treasure?So it is destined to be put on hold for now.

"Fucking patriarch, why can't you just die!" Lance gritted his teeth, feeling unhappy if he didn't scold the old man a few times a day.

…………

"...He is about to find me... I will pay... Let you pick one of my collections..."

Catherine, who had been investigating outside for a day, just returned here. She wanted to find the lord, but when she got closer, she heard excited noises in the room.

Feeling that the situation is not right and it is not easy to go in, I can only stay outside the door for a while, but I can't hear too much.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and an angry woman walked out from inside. The two exchanged a brief glance, but then Tamara snorted coldly, turned her head and walked away.

Isn't she that Roma?
Just why do you have such strong hostility towards yourself?
Catherine didn't know what offended her, but the battle that night did separate herself from those people, which naturally contained some kind of original sin.

"come in."

The appearance of a voice from the room interrupted Catherine's thoughts, and she just walked in, and she could see the lord sitting in a relaxed posture.

Although I don't know what the two are talking about, the man in front of me doesn't seem to be affected by the situation just now.

"Sit down, you have also seen the situation of Hamlet, what do you want to say?"

Lance is very confident that in this chaotic era of feudal ignorance, Hamlet under his rule is very special.

Catherine is good at figuring out the mood of the leader, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay by the emotionally twisted wizard for such a long time.

Immediately, he began to tout in a serious manner, and even dared to step on Totnes's foot to hold Hamlet high.

Lance knows better than anyone else how the place he built by himself is. Of course it's cool to listen to the flattery, but this kind of bottomless flattery has aroused his disgust, and he always feels that the person in front of him has been corrupted by his ancestors.

"Okay, I don't like people who only have mouths. I like people who have ability and do practical things."

Catherine stopped her words, observed carefully with her eyes, and found that the man was really not shaken by the words just now.

She had also inquired about this man, who was not like an imperial noble at all, but more like an ascetic.

Don't be stingy with money, reward every achievement, and spend a lot of money to maintain the current situation.

Those who experience it personally do not need to be served, not even a maid.

Not greedy for money, not lustful, and now even flattering shows disgust, this kind of person makes it difficult for Catherine to understand.

If Lance knew it, he would die laughing. He is greedy for money, lustful, and famous.

Wealth is nothing in front of power. It seems to be throwing away money now, but it is actually investing to consolidate his rule. At the same time, he has a long-term view and these infrastructures will bring him a steady stream of benefits.

What man doesn't like a woman?But here are all village girls, working all year round and exposed to the wind and sun are not good-looking. As for those who can see past, most of them don't take a bath. For him with a slight cleanliness, he has no desire at all.

As for fame, it is something he has been doing all along, but what he is looking for is not a false name, but a real name, and it is the popular support based on the masses, not the flattery of a few guys.
