our family is gone

Chapter 4 Family Evil God and the End Times

Seeing the man approaching suddenly, Lance panicked and instinctively controlled his body to retreat.

Seeing that he was about to grab himself, a long sword pierced from the side and directly penetrated the strong man's chest.

As Leonard drew out the long sword, the strong man fell to the ground as if he had lost his support, and the light in his eyes also dissipated with the passage of time.

Lance also reacted and stabilized his body. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he couldn't help feeling afraid. If he really wanted to be caught by him, things might be troublesome.

"It's the blood that soaked the gunpowder." Disma saw what was wrong with the gun and explained.

Raising the gun in his hand, Lance realized that his knowledge of firearms was so lacking that he forgot that he was holding a flintlock.

At the same time, he also made a big mistake, that is, the weapons he took from others were not checked.

And with the death of the last person, the temporary team of three entered into a weird atmosphere, apparently the two were waiting for Lance's explanation.

"I know you have a lot of doubts, but my next words may break your perception of this world, so are you sure you want to understand the truth of this world?"

"Tell me quickly." Disma was filled with curiosity, and he couldn't wait to know.

"Alright then." Lance spoke slowly after adjusting his mentality a little.

"I come from a very old family, whose history can be traced back thousands of years ago, and my ancestors as heirs enjoyed a luxurious and corrupt aristocratic life.

Until one day he got divine revelation, and in his dream, he knew a sealed ancient evil god. Once he woke up, the world would be destroyed.

The ancestor thought that this was the responsibility he had to shoulder, so he gave up his depraved life and spent money on forming an expedition team. After a lot of hard work, he finally found the place where the evil god was sealed in the dream.

The ancestor led the family knights to eliminate monsters and opened up this barren territory, but soon he discovered that this is a cursed place, and the power of the evil god is too powerful, even if it is in the seal, it will corrupt everything.

Animals, plants, and even dead things are corrupted into monsters in this accursed place, while the power of the evil god bends reality to attract the attention of those void monsters.

Those monsters are like weeds, one batch will die soon and another batch will be born. The ancestors knew that this is an endless road, but in order to protect the seal, he has been fighting against evil all his life, and the sworn family members must defend it with their lives. Break the seal until the last man fighting the evil.

After many years, family members basically fell into the confrontation with monsters in order to protect the seal, and my parents did the same, so that I was fostered in other people's homes since I was a child, and I never saw my parents until I was an adult. "

Having said that, Lance stopped to observe the reaction of the two.

Although they are all ruthless people, they still seem a bit incomprehensible in the face of information such as divine revelation, evil gods, and the destruction of the world, or they can't believe it, so they can only digest it in silence.

Lance noticed their attitude, smiled and comforted:
"I didn't believe it at first, because the news of the seal cannot be leaked out, and only the heirs are qualified to know it. Until the last lord disappeared, as the only one left in the family, the mission of the family finally fell with the passing of blood. It came to me, and I also received divine revelation and knew everything."

"Why are you telling us this? I'm just an ordinary mercenary." Disma flinched.

"Because I need your help." Lance said sincerely, "You have also seen that the corruption has begun to spread and the seal is in jeopardy, and even if I have the determination to clear the evil protection seal, I am still alone. died."

"Why don't you turn to the kingdom or the church?" Leonard asked.

"Because there are only monsters and no gold coins in my territory."

Lance's words directly silenced Leonard.

Disma regretted hearing that this was not what he should have known. He just wanted to finish this task quickly, and then take the money to go to a tavern or a brothel to numb himself with alcohol and body, so that he would forget about it when he woke up the next day. All this, until the end of the world comes...

I don't want to die here! (Selfish)

Feeling the repulsion of the two, he could only sigh.

"I know it's hard, and I might even lose my life because of it, and I thought about running away when I first learned about the family mission.

But there are some things that have to be done by someone. Instead of waiting all day long for the end of the world when the evil god descends, it’s better to fight, so that even if we fail, we can at least try our best without leaving regrets, and we won’t live in panic. "

Disma hesitated. Listening to the words in Lance's mouth, whether it was the family that fought bloody battles for thousands of years to protect the seal, or Lance, an ordinary scholar who dared to bear the suffocating pressure at this time, he couldn't help feeling admiration .

He is thin and thin, but standing in front of him is as majestic and inviolable as a mountain, while he is like a mouse in the ditch in comparison.

Complicated emotions are tormenting Desma's heart, and he also wants to live like Lance.

Leonard stood aside, no one knew what the man under the armor was thinking.

"Even if you don't join, it doesn't matter, I can understand it, just like my parents didn't want me to participate in it when they sent me away.

I tell you this in the hope that someone will know the story of our family after my death. At least I have fulfilled the oath of my ancestors and protected the seal to the last person. I, Lance, have not shamed the name of Hamlet! "

Lance's words were like a sharp knife piercing Desma's fragile heart. After the disguise was broken, he only felt a strong sense of guilt filling him.

Why do I always run away?Why?
I can do it, I will find my own salvation!

Another stronger emotion began to emerge during the self-exploration, and I seemed to see a flash of light in a trance.

"Hmph!" Disma became emotional, waving the spear and sword in his hand, "There is no way out, let's do it."

"The Holy Light is extremely firm, and so am I." Leonard held up his long sword, "Even if I die with that unclean evil!"

Hearing the words of the two, Lance couldn't help laughing. He knew that he had made the right bet. Both of them had a strong tendency of self-salvation.

Immediately made an oath with the two to guard this secret, anyway, it filled the sense of ceremony and made them feel the feeling of carrying a mission.

In fact, most of these criticisms were made up by Lance. He knew that if he wanted to gain support, he had to assume the identity of a tall man, or even a savior. They are all dead and no one can break through his words.
