our family is gone

"At that time, everyone actually didn't believe it, but they had no choice but to agree. I saw him take out a skull from his pocket, and on the top of the Tianling cover was a strange candle.

At that time, I only heard what he was saying, and then he raised the skull candlestick towards the injured brothers, and the candle burned on its own, exerting magical power..."

With Little John's description, Lance also got a general understanding of the situation at that time. The man used his extraordinary power to heal the soldiers who were shot, and then returned with the boat.

Along the way, he also predicted the location of the pirates several times, because of the previous incident, the captain chose to believe him.

I don't know if I really avoided the pirates, but the way back was uneventful and I didn't encounter any trouble.

Lance didn't find it strange when he heard it, because he could feel the man's powerful strength.

Lance hadn't had much contact with other strong men, but he could tell by sensing the strength of his spirituality. He didn't know his physique, but his spirituality might not be lower than that of Wolf Warrior.

In other words, another [champion]!
With such a champion-level transcendent protecting them, how could anything go wrong?Or maybe it would be weird to tell the problem.

But why did he have to come to Hamlet?And why do you want to see yourself?

Now only people who see it will know.

"I see, you go back to rest first, and enjoy your vacation." Lance sent Little John away with a smile, and then got up and went to the living room.

As soon as the two met, Lance's eyes swept over the middle-aged man. It was not the strength of the war wolf that relied more on physical strength, but a spell caster.

Looking at the spiritual light on his body, it is obvious that not only is he powerful, but also there is not a single piece of equipment on his body that is simple.

The man's deep eyes fell on Lance. To be honest, he didn't feel the fluctuations caused by the overflowing extraordinary power. On the contrary, he was like an ordinary person, but it was not easy to show his strength with a strong temperament.

Especially when he noticed something beside Lance, he couldn't help but be amazed on that calm face.

Of course, Lance noticed his reaction. Being able to see Wangcai was self-evident.

"I am Lance, Lord of Hamlet." Lance stepped forward directly, "Thank you very much for your help."

"I am Alhazred, a scholar who explores the mysteries."

"Mr. Scholar, I wonder why you came to Hamlet?"

"Destiny has led me here to recover a stolen statue filled with evil power."

Alhazred doesn't talk nonsense, or at his level, nonsense has become unnecessary, and they won't waste time on it.

"That is one of the items unearthed from an ancient ruins. The power contained in those items points to some indescribable existence in the abyss. It contains terrifying power. At the same time, this power will corrupt everything.

The emergence of these things caused a terrible disaster in the local area, and it took a lot of effort for our council to control it.

Later, according to our research, we found that this involved the worship of evil gods in an ancient kingdom, and this was probably a very important reason why the ancient kingdom died and turned into history. "

As he spoke, Alhazred looked at Lance and emphasized, "When the disaster occurred, we recovered most of the parliamentary seals, but there are still many left outside. This will be an important node for the abyss to corrupt into reality."

Lance was different from Little John. Listening to his eloquent words, he quickly extracted some key points from his words.

Fate, parliament, Levantine, occultist, when these keywords were combined, Lance understood something in an instant.

People from the Council of Fate... a transcendent organization located in the Levant region mentioned by both Tamara and Catherine.

From what he said, it was obvious that he came here for the weird statue that was the bald wizard's relic.

Looking at it this way, based on Catherine's experience, the bald wizard was probably forced to flee to Totnes incognito because the statue offended him or the Parliament of Destiny.

And when the bald wizard was forced to use the power of the statue when facing Geralt and the others, it was natural that the Fate Council, which was good at prophecy, found a clue.

But what does this have to do with Hamlet?
"In a place as big as Hamlet, it's really hard to find a statue, but I'll keep an eye out for you."

Lance made a fool of himself, it seemed that he didn't feel afraid because of the situation described by the scholar.

It's too much to try to frighten a bold guy with the words of a mystic scholar.

He is not afraid of the ancestor, what evil god of the abyss would he be afraid of?
"The seal on it has been broken, and the cover of the seal has been lost. I can feel the power of that thing even if it is thousands of miles away." Alhazred didn't have any expression, but his deep eyes looked at Lance , what it means is self-evident.

Lance didn't have the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, the things were indeed in his hands, but once they were in his pockets, there was no possibility of taking them out.

Unless you add money!

Lance didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he sat down and picked up the kettle on the table to pour water.

"I remember that you [Parliament of Destiny] don't seem to care much about this, right?" Lance asked naturally as he pushed the tea cup over and placed it in front of him.

As long as they are organizations, they represent their own interests. Who would run around the world to recycle an evil god statue without any benefit?
There are not 300 million paladins in this world, not to mention that among the Roma people, the Council of Destiny is a group of people who do whatever it takes to gain power, and even dare to trade with the abyss.

Even the Roma look down on these alien wizards, one can imagine...

Lance even suspected that the bald wizard was once a member of the Council of Destiny, which made it difficult for him to control his desire for power and steal the statue.

"I have discovered that corruption and depravity are spreading across this land." Alhazred's warning became more and more intense, "That statue is very dangerous, it will tempt the holder to degenerate, anyone who wants to gain power from it You will pay a heavy price for your actions!"

Lance found that he should not be too cryptic when talking to these scholars. He wanted to see what price he could offer in exchange for the statue.

But listening to his words, how does it feel that he thinks that he gets power from the statue, which caused Hamlet's corruption?

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't stand it. If it was really that simple, he would be thankful. Unfortunately, the power of the statue was nothing to Hamlet. He had to sit at the children's table to eat.

"I feel like you have misunderstood something. The power on the statue has not leaked, and no one is trying to gain power through the statue."

When Lance said this, he seemed to think of something and paused for a while, "Well... I can't say that, I can only say that the last one who tried to exchange statues for power has been hacked to death by me. As for the corruption on our side, that's another matter. There is a reason."

After saying that, Lance directly raised his hand, and the statue fell into his hand out of thin air, "I spent a lot of money to get this thing by killing a fallen wizard. What price can you offer?"

The wooden box that was originally used to seal the statue had been damaged in the previous war. Without the protection of the seal, if this statue fell into the hands of other people, something might have happened long ago.

But Lance doesn't accept this at all, and all corrupt powers are vain in front of [Asylum].

Anyway, after Lance got it, he threw it directly into the showroom, and he didn't find anything unusual after so long.

But his reckless action directly frightened Alhazred, and he didn't even pay much attention to Lance's words. The moment the statue was taken out, his eyes were fixed on the statue, and he stood up abruptly. Put distance.

It seems that even the fear on the character's face is carved out, and the exaggerated postures of the hands and feet seem to depict a person wearing an exquisite dress falling into a tentacle trap.

But when I looked closely, I found that the expression on the man's face did not seem to be frightened, but ecstasy, and the exaggerated posture did not seem to be struggling, but dancing.

The contrast between the two is a bit strange.

That's right!It's that evil force...

The expression on Alhazred's face was no longer as calm as before, but revealed a trace of imperceptible uneasiness.

He can feel the strange aura emanating from the statue, which is his special ability, but it is also a curse...

It's just that he soon noticed something was wrong, and his eyes couldn't help but shift from the statue to the hand holding the statue, and then met the gentle smile on the lord's face, which made him feel confused again.

But any Transcendent with some common sense wouldn't deal with an evil thing so casually?Not to mention that I just told him about the danger of this statue.

But...but...why...how dare he just hold it like this?

A strong man who can easily resist the power of the statue. No wonder I didn't feel the extraordinary power in him before. It turned out that it was because he controlled the power so exquisitely that his breath did not leak out.

Alhazred seemed to have a judgment on Lance, and then he turned around to think about what he said just now.

Is this a trade?

If the statue is basically doomed in the hands of ordinary people, seal things up before they cause more trouble.

If it falls into the hands of an extraordinary person, the statue will definitely have an impact on the holder. When he takes the statue away, those people will have to thank him.

If he has fallen, he will do it directly. It can be said that he has no intention of using normal means to get things back.

but now……

and many more!

Alhazred seemed to suddenly realize something, and the point now was not at all.

If the statue has always been controlled, what about the corruption on this land?

There was a sudden silence... Alhazred seemed to be in some strange state.

He no longer focused on the statue or Lance, but kept looking around, but his eyes didn't seem to focus on the real world at all, but he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see thing.

Unintelligible strange words were murmured in his mouth, and his body movements seemed a little indescribably weird.

Alhazred originally felt the evil atmosphere here when he was on the ship. He originally thought it was just the power of the statue that caused it here, but just now he realized that his guess was wrong.

It wasn't the power of the statue that caused the corruption here, so what kind of power could cause such a terrifying corruption?

At this moment, he seemed to feel an inexplicable presence spying on him, and countless black eyes grew in the void.

I knew...you must be the one who attracts the same kind...

Damn it!It's a trap and I'm being targeted.

Get out!I'm not one of those stupid mortals...

No! ...I sensed it, it's coming! ...

It's not real...it's an illusion of the brain!

Alhazred stood there, his chaotic thoughts almost making him lose control, and the unknown existence hidden in his consciousness kept swallowing his sanity...

Lance watched him gradually start to become strange and even a little crazy, and the smile on his face could not help but restrain himself.

If you want to control extraordinary power with a human body, you have to pay a price.

But want to make trouble in Hamlet?
Have you ever asked me!
"wake up!"

Lance let out a low snort, and directly activated the effect of [Blessing] to refresh his state, pulling him back from the hallucination.

Alhazred's soul seemed to have escaped from the real space, and at this moment, a cry exploded in his ears like thunder, and a force suddenly surged in his body, and his brain, which was shocked by the weirdness, gained a moment of tranquility, as if Even the existence of the abyss is in awe of that person's power.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough for him. Reason seized this opportunity, and the continuously constructed spiritual defense blocked the endless corruption.

When he came back to his senses, the scene in his eyes quickly collapsed. The purple-black starry curtain was torn open, and reality appeared in front of him.

However, his calm expression was gone forever, and all that was left was a tired look, and the breathing in his mouth hadn't recovered yet, and he seemed a little short.

Only he himself knows how dangerous it was just now, and he will release it if he is a little careless.

"Are you OK."

When Yoyo's voice came, Alhazred couldn't help but look at Lance, and couldn't help asking questions.

"Why... why did it appear in this place?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Then..." Alhazred just opened his mouth to say something but suddenly stopped, fell into a momentary pause, and then changed his words directly: "What happened on this land? Why is the boundary with the abyss so big? Vulnerable? Never seen such a terrifying place..."

Lance looked at the scholar and seemed to have discovered something.

You must know that even Lance, who can see the terrifying inspiration of spirituality with the naked eye, is difficult to spy, but he can actually see the erosion of Hamlet by his ancestors. (end of this chapter)
