our family is gone

Chapter 33
White bread, stew, roast chicken, vegetable medley, berry platter.

Even so, in fact, for Lance, who is used to eating all kinds of modern food, these dishes taste like nothing.

The way they cook is actually stewing in a pot, there is no such thing as cooking, because spices that are almost equivalent to gold are not affordable for them, not even the farmers.

As for the salt, it is also coarse salt, which does not taste salty, but has a certain bitter taste, and if you eat too much, your throat will get stuck.

But these are actually good enough for other people to eat. Anyway, Walter, who has been hungry for so many days, is very satisfied.

Walter is in charge here. With his own ability and experience in this area, Lance felt relieved and rushed back to town that evening.

The seriousness of this morning was completely absent from the carriage. On the contrary, it was a little relaxed. The wooden boards of the windows were opened, and the green wheat fields on both sides of the road could be seen.

When the evening wind blows, there are slight waves floating, and a unique smell mixed with plants and soil exudes a strong country style.

Seeing this scene, Lance's eager heart finally calmed down a little, and he stopped thinking about the small town to relax for a while.

"My lord, have you forgotten something~"

Barristan's words immediately pulled Lance's attention back, and his brain quickly realized what he said. If he hadn't reminded himself, he would have forgotten it.

But as a shrewd lord (at least the character design is like this), he must not admit it~
"I haven't forgotten, I'm just protecting you." Lance put on a very deep face, "Because you don't know what we are going to face, and you don't know what price we will pay~"

There is a saying that Lance is still good at playing the magic stick, but just one sentence pushed the atmosphere to a dignified state. Disma, who was driving the car in front of him, couldn't help but become serious. Thinking of his appearance when he heard this, he couldn't help admonishing him.

"Brother, knowing too much about some things is not necessarily a good thing~"

Barristan didn't flinch from what the two of them said, on the contrary, he became more curious.

Whether it is the secret technique to save oneself from serious injuries or the magical power to make corpses disappear, plus the two riddlemen...

"Are you sure you want to know?" Lance confirmed again and again, and then slowly spoke after seeing him nodding.

"This story is very long, starting from..."

Compared with the first temporary arrangement before, Lance has experience this time, and his speech is full of tragedy and sacrifice like a heroic epic.

Lance knows that what he said is wrong, and the story is only limited to the macro level, and does not involve details.

In fact, he did this to create an identity for himself, and at the same time remove himself, so that even if he encounters any problems left by his ancestors in the future, he can hand them over to the cult and the housekeeper.

Anyway, he is the pure and innocent savior.

Barristan was also moved when it was mentioned that the entire family was filled in, and then Lance was inspired by God and resolutely took the responsibility.

"My lord, please allow me to express my highest respect to you."

"Someone has to stand up for some things." Lance smiled slightly, looking very open-minded, and did not forget to mention the other two.

"What's more, I'm not alone. Disma and Leonard didn't hesitate to join after knowing it. Without their help, I would be powerless."

Speaking of this Disma also felt inexplicably moved, and couldn't wait to speak.

"It is the adults who let me find the meaning of life, otherwise I would still be wasting my life like a useless person."

"Hahaha~" Lance laughed loudly, "I was also afraid at first, but I thought I was going to die anyway, so I have to show that evil god the courage of our humans, and give him a hand before I die. One shot and tell him we're not to be messed with."

"That's right! Let that guy taste my strength." Disma was in high spirits, and seemed very energetic even after a busy day.

"My lord, your courage makes the Holy Light even more dazzling!" Leonard, who was sitting with his sword in his arms, also joined the topic, "Every step we take is purifying this unclean curse."

"..."

Barristan thought he was used to seeing life and death, but while watching them laughing and chatting, he also felt the heaviness of seeing death as home behind them.

"My lord, please allow me to join." Barristan interrupted Lance's bragging with a very serious attitude.

Hearing this, Lance shook his head,

"I saved you because you saved my people. You don't have to have any psychological burden on this. Besides, you helped me save the town from those people this time. I am very grateful. There is no need to say these words. "

"Does your lord dislike me for being too old?"

"No, really, I won't let you fight the mercenary leader, I know you are a powerful soldier.

It's just that the existence of evil gods cannot be known to more people, so our actions have no honor or praise, and some only sacrifice and death. "

"I have carried enough, and only death can set me free."

There was a firm tone in Barristan's words. He chose to come here in the first place to seek to fight the bandits, because the phantoms in his brain that wandered between life and death would not come again if he kept himself busy. he.

For this reason, he chose to embark on the bloodiest and cruelest battlefields around the world. Now it seems that there is nothing more interesting than dying against evil.

"I respect the choice of a soldier." Lance put on a very serious expression, "Disma stops."

The carriage stopped on the road, and just above this country field, under the witness of several people, Barristan swore the oath to Lance.

In fact, the lord knight oath is no longer popular in this world. The wave of modernization has appeared in big cities and spread to the surrounding areas.

In fact, Lance doesn't like those things either, so this oath is more about their common goal - to overthrow the ancestor.

Not many people know about this secret oath, but a team of volunteers to challenge the evil god is expanding.

The straight-line distance from the farm to the town is about five kilometers, and the horse-drawn cart will arrive soon.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, go to rest."

Lance took out three pieces of money from his pocket and gave them to them. Barristan still hadn't realized it at this moment.

"Take it, I can't let you and me work hard for nothing." Lance patted the veteran with a smile, "Not to mention how can a man have no money on him."

Disma was used to Lance's behavior, and immediately pulled Barristan and Leonard.

"Come on, I'll buy you a drink."
