our family is gone

No wonder Amanda and the others reacted this way. After all, who would have thought that gold coins or even gems could be found among those piles of bones?

But Lance was not surprised. He explained to them while counting the gold coins in his hand.

"There are not only ordinary people and cultists among these corpses. Over a long period of time, adventurers must have discovered and explored this place, and gained a lot from it."

Lance told them about the corpse remains found under the collapsed passage last time, in which a lot of gold coins were also found.

“These adventurers won’t break into this place alone, they usually have a small team to cooperate with them.

And when one appears, there is a possibility that a second or third adventurer will appear here. "

Only then did Amanda and the others realize that Lance was not doing it randomly, but that he had guessed that there were things that humans needed among the junk abandoned by the pigs, so he put it into practice.

They thought it was like this, but they actually didn't think about why the adventurers who explored the beast's cave and died here would have so much money.

You must know that those mercenaries use copper coins as units for each mission, and when these money bags are opened, they contain gold coins and gems.

I'm afraid only Lance knows the detailed reason, but he certainly won't take the initiative to say it.

After Lance accepted Hamlet, he roughly understood that Hamlet had had many lords before, and there had also been short-lived prosperity through questioning the survivors.

But after all, it was short-lived, and it wasn't until the situation of almost collapse that I waited for myself.

After the "air-distance" battle with his ancestor in the early stage, Lance understood the reason why his ancestor let Hamlet go.

He needed an heir, even in name only.

At the same time, he needs the heir to constantly provoke wars to maintain Hamlet's chaos, so that he can cause more deaths and recharge energy for his rituals.

One of the simplest ways for the ancestor to control Hamlet is to throw out money, lots of gold coins.

And the person who implements this is the steward.

The butler wakes up the heir with the letter, and after receiving it, he can use the "legacy" to drive the heir to complete the task of saving Hamlet.

Here, a lot of gold coins, various heirlooms, and precious extraordinary equipment are used as rewards for tasks.

Which heir can resist the temptation of these "legacies"?It is also about reviving Hamlet.

But if you have a life to take this money, you have to have a life to spend it!

These so-called revival missions and regaining Hamlet's territory are all driving the heirs to fight. What kind of monsters and monsters are they facing?
And what do they have here?

Want to rely on those mercenaries who work only for money?
It's a complete joke. The money will eventually come back to the ancestors.

Until a freak appears among these heirs!

Lance killed the housekeeper directly at the beginning, so he naturally had no tasks to reward with rich inheritances, no funds to start with, and no one even helped him manage the town.

But he was free!

The environment in which he grew up destined him to be a born rebel in this world.

No money?

Then go make money.

Just raid the home of the farmer with the most money, and kill the mayor with the most land deeds.

This is how our players work.

After getting the first pot of gold, he didn't rush to recruit people to start a war. He focused on operations all the way, focusing on farming, training troops, and slowly developing and hoarding strength.

Even if there is a large-scale battle, it is usually a passive counterattack or a specifically targeted action.

Although this has been achieved, it is still very difficult when faced with bandit invasions, plague events, wolf warrior invasions, cult riots... these things.

Without his personal strength as the basis to turn the tide several times, Hamlet would have been destroyed by the ancestor's conspiracy.

In contrast.

An heir who has no operational thinking at all, doesn't understand trivial development, is dazzled by generous task rewards, and dreams of solving all problems with money is doomed to fail.

And the killings they bring will become nourishment for the ancestors.

As for the mercenaries who were recruited, the weak ones couldn't even defeat the bandits and could only bully ordinary people. Lance came in and killed them all that night.

As for the strong ones, those who dare to touch monsters under the impetus of money... aren't they here?

Lance looked at the pile of dead bones in front of him and couldn't help but joke, "Maybe there are not many adventurers left in the past."

No one knew what Lance was thinking, but the inability to express things made him look a little melancholy.

"Boss, look what I found!"

Boudica's voice woke him up, and when he looked up, he saw her walking towards her as if asking for credit, handing over what she had in her hand.

Lance looked at the jewelry. It was made of the paw of some kind of animal. It had been specially treated and the end bones were covered with silver. You could still feel the plush feel when you hold it in your hand. Not to mention the shape was quite exquisite.

But what's even more concerning is that this thing is actually an extraordinary piece of equipment!

“This is the [Lucky Talisman], which is a piece of equipment popular among tomb robbers. It is made from the claws of a night cat with extraordinary bloodline that only hunts at night.

It allows them to be as flexible as a night cat, and can also obtain a weak dark vision, just like a night cat, with a stronger perception of darkness, making it easier to move at night. "

Amanda is relatively professional about these things, and she can tell the status of this thing just by looking at it.

Lance smiled and threw the things into the showroom with his backhand.

It seems that a certain heir paid a tomb robber to come here.

Not to mention, this is somewhat thoughtful, after all, the tomb robbers can be considered a professional team.

It's a pity that he fell here.

After finding the gold coins and extraordinary equipment, even Amanda couldn't help it. The Roma instinct was somewhat at work, and she also joined in the rummaging.

Only Alhazred did not join in this little game. He took out the materials and started preparing some rituals.

The battle just now used a lot of spells and consumed a lot of prepared rituals. He needed to replenish them to deal with the enemies behind him.

It can be seen that the scrolls on his body also have a lot of background. I am afraid that the rituals are stored in them in advance and released when needed.

The methods of these extraordinary beings are all kinds of strange. Although Lance is a little curious, he will not intervene rashly.On the other side, Lance and the others quickly found some fragmentary belongings among those things, but unfortunately they did not find more extraordinary equipment.

"Come on, come on, everyone who meets you will get a share." Lance took out the money and divided it among everyone.

Don't think that spellcasters can cast spells out of thin air. Every battle is a drain on them.

The power of a spellcaster among extraordinary beings is very strange and difficult to control, but it also requires preparation of various materials and time. Maybe the ritual scroll he just completed is worth hundreds of gold coins.

No one wants to mess with a well-prepared spellcaster, but the effort behind it is quite a lot.

Alhazred has a solid background as a [Champion]. It can be seen that he doesn't care much about the money, so he took it and put it into the leather bag on his waist.

But for Amanda, who had left the organization, getting these gold coins made her feel more secure than any words of comfort.

Although the money was not much, it represented an attitude. She had paid so much and finally got some rewards.

"Boss, hold it for me." Boudica threw the money bag into Lance's hands with a look of disgust. She didn't like the money bag, which would restrict her ability to fight.

Anyway, she basically lacks nothing, and someone will help her with everything, she just needs to fight.

This scene is somewhat beyond the general nature of employment. Amanda does not understand Boudica, or they do not understand Hamlet.

But before she could think too much, Alhazred on the side suddenly looked up as if he had discovered something, and murmured solemnly:

"No...why is there still the power of corruption, and it's stronger..."

Originally, he thought that the corrupting and evil power he just felt came from the power of the pig priest's sacrificial ritual.

But now he feels a more powerful evil, and that feeling is unmistakable!

Alhazred's reaction immediately caused everyone who had just finished the battle to fall under the pressure of war again.

"Are you a cultist?"

Lance mentioned something, and Alhazred reacted but did not answer directly. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Not sure, because the power of corruption is very unstable."

But this did not make Lance embarrassed, and he made a decision very simply.
"In that case, go and take a look. No matter what it is, we must not allow corruption to spread."

No matter what it is, as long as the corruption is definitely related to the ancestor, attacking the pigs is to attack the ancestor's power. It is better to attack the corruption directly, so that there is no middleman to make the difference.

Lance's words were righteous, but they sounded a little strange to the two extraordinary people, Alhazred and Amanda...

Isn't this too reckless?
If other people dare to say this, they will definitely disagree, so just go ahead and do it?Everyone knows what the corrupting power of the abyss represents, how can it be like this?
Normally speaking, when encountering something uncertain, you should not prepare first, then investigate clearly, and then run away depending on the situation.

But if the man in front of them said this, they would understand.

Without him, he is strong.

The team quickly regrouped and moved forward quickly under Alhazred's perception.

…………

A battle that broke out in the beast's cave was entering a fever pitch.

The screams of the pigs in the darkness almost shattered the eardrums, and at the same time, the fierce shouts of humans also sounded.

But listening to those words and the wild laughter mixed with them, you can tell that he is definitely not a normal person.

Yes, it's a battle between cultists and pigs.

The Pigman Slaughterer wielded a serrated butcher knife and slashed at a cultist. However, the cultist refused to dodge and resisted the knife with his body. The sawtooth stabbed into his chest, and with the violence, the flesh was cut open. You can even see the wounds of the broken heart.

But even this did not seem to affect the movements of the cultist. While laughing wildly, he inserted the sharp claws of his staggering hands into the pigman's chest, pulled out the tumbling flesh with force, and even There was a large spurt of blood.

Similar injuries, even more serious for cultists, but no matter how strong the pig's vitality is, it can't withstand the puncture of the heart and the slit of the lungs. The last pig's cry is filled with the blood rushing up from the lungs, making it difficult to make a sound. He had no choice but to struggle and fall down. The wound on his chest was still bleeding with blood.

On the contrary, the wounds on the cultists began to heal. After pleasing God last time, the cultists received God's blessing and became stronger.

And this self-healing ability became even more obvious after killing the pig man.

The flesh and blood healed between movements...

But this is a melee, and the Pigman will not wait for you to recover. Two sharp knives suddenly appeared and cut open the heels of his legs and severed the hamstrings, making him unsteady and staggered to his knees.

He couldn't even see the attacker clearly, and then a white light suddenly appeared and slit his throat, and blood spurted out instantly.

The cultist wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, there was only blood spurting out, blood foam blowing like bubbles, and weird sounds.

"Ah...ah..."

This kind of vital point is fatal to ordinary people, but the cultist has no fear at all. Even if the blood almost drains his life force, he still stabs out with his claws and forces the hidden pig man out.

But that was all. The pig hider seemed to have fought against these cultists and knew that they could not be killed, so he distanced himself with one hit.

The appearance did not affect the swift pace of the pig hider. Before the enemy's leg injury had recovered, he rushed forward with the knife again. The target was obviously the neck, and he wanted to cut off the head.

From these details, it can be seen that the pigs know how to kill the cultists.

But cultists are not stupid either. How could it be so easy if they were prepared?
No matter how insidious the pig hider is, the damage caused by the knife cannot kill the cultist at all.

The two fought, and the cultist suffered many stab wounds, and blood almost covered his body, but he finally seized the opportunity and inserted it into the head of the pig-man hider.

He lifted up the body of the pig hider and let the pig blood flow out and drink freely. Even the wounds in his throat were not healed and blood continued to flow out, but the injuries on his body were visibly restored.

After killing two pigmen one after another, he felt God's gaze and couldn't help shouting.

"Hahaha! Who can kill me..."

But at this moment, there was a roar. Before he could react, the black iron helmet was completely unable to withstand such a violent blunt blow. The entire helmet was dented and the decorative iron bars on it were crooked.

And under this force, the whole person shook his head and fell over, and the pig man who had been lifted up just now fell on top of him.

The cultist's tenacious self-healing ability can no longer work, but his last consciousness is left.

"Although I am dead, I still..."

The figure of the pig thug appeared among them, and the figure violently wielding the bone hammer inspired all the pigs.

The cult's killing of pigs can only be repaid by death.
