A heavy voice echoed through the empty church, and Nosa's solemn expression gradually relaxed, and the incomprehensible look made it difficult for Lance to determine whether he knew it or not.

The faint moonlight reflected the Holy Cross pattern on the medal through the skylight, surrounding the hazy light and enveloping the two of them at the same time.

I thought about it for a long time.

"Is he important to you?"

"It's important. Without hesitation, the words blurted out.

"Really?"

The deep gaze rests on this medal again, like a new pattern evoking a long memory, and the past seems to be yesterday.

Nossa stood up with his staff, and Lance could clearly feel that unlike the previous majesty, at this time his body revealed a trace of death, not a prestigious imperial mentor, nor a high-ranking magician, just an old and dying ordinary person.

"If you're wondering, let's talk in my room late at night. ”

Pushing open the door of the church, Nossa returned to his role as the Imperial Mentor, "I'm sorry, everyone, but not a single child has passed the test. ”

The hidden ripples of magic dissipated, and the noise of children resounded in Lance's ears.

Level 10 Two-Star Magic: Mirror Space.

Super Magician!

Sri who the hell would you be?

The members of the Imperial Family, the children of Nosa, don't look like that.

"Lance, are you alright?" interrupted Ascot's thoughts.

"What are you thinking?"

Looking at Yashi's somewhat puzzled gaze, he habitually squeezed out a smile, "I'm annoyed that I answered all the questions from this imperial mentor, but I didn't let me be selected because I didn't have magic power." ”

"Naturally, they don't understand the supreme importance of knowledge, and the Imperial Academy is full of people who exalt magical talents and devalue knowledge. ”

His voice became softer, "It's not like our church. ”

Lance nodded approvingly, "That's true. ”

Ascot is satisfied, now all he needs to do is improve Lance's sense of belonging, this is a top seedling, but unfortunately he doesn't have a magical talent.

"Speaking of magical talents, Priest Ashi, can I ask you to help me find those books?"

"It's still a work in progress, and I'll ask you again when this adult leaves. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

"Whereever, it doesn't necessarily depend on you in the future. ”

"Maybe, was the steak I made the first few times good?"

"It's pretty good, and to be honest, I haven't seen you roast well. ”

"Master Ascot likes it. ”

..................................................................

Self-aware people don't actually have much hope, if they can go to the Imperial Academy so easily, then the Imperial Academy is not the Imperial Academy.

As for the others, under the gaze of the lord, they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

As the night wore on, the town of Lear returned to its daily peace, but there was an additional story of the Imperial Mentor in the daily discussion in the future.

"Lanxi, sleep well when you're full. ”

The little guy seemed to notice Lance's somewhat tightly locked expression, put down the alchemy doll in his hand, and lay down into the quilt obediently, with his hands crossed on his flat chest, and slept straight, just like the kind of dead man buried in a coffin, which looked awkward to Lance.

"You can't sleep like this, you have to sleep like this. ”

Lance helped her put her hands down and loosened her stiff waist a few times, not even noticing that she had gained weight lately, and it seemed that she still had to adjust her diet.

"Sleep well, I'll be back in a while. ”

The little head came out of the quilt, and the bright and pure red pupils reflected Lance's departing figure, and the small voice said, "I want to hear the story." ”

"Hmm.................." After a slight pause, Lance returned to the bed, "what story do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear the story of our hometown. ”

Lance was slightly stunned, his red pupils dilated, and he said slowly, "It's the most beautiful place in the world, the most beautiful place I've ever seen." ”

"There's the amiable Uncle Locke, there's the always straight-faced Granny Essie, there's the crying and laughing Uncle Merry, there's a lot of people, and they're all very welcoming, and there's Sri there. ”

"It was a quiet and peaceful village, every day was full of life, every morning there was Grandpa Sob's morning wine, the cold was warm, Aunt Noi would be there to help, Uncle Sidon would invite everyone to eat and drink with many of the prey he had hunted, and his cooking skills were great. ”

"There is also a church there, not as big as here, but more intimate than here, and we stayed there at the back of the village. ”

"Everyone attends the evening prayer every day, but the church is too small to fit so many people, so everyone brings their own stools. ”

"Vespers were very lively, and they talked about interesting things that had happened, and Uncle Jack always told a lot of jokes, and Uncle Pease always told very cold jokes. ”

"The days go by quickly, and every day is full of joy. ”

"Sri grows some fruits, he has a magical power, even the most difficult fruits can bear fruit in his hands, and there are fresh fruits to share with everyone every season. ”

"Sri used to take me to collect medicines, and for a month, I crossed many bare hills, walked through old old roads, and came to a forest with no end in sight, with broken islands floating in the sky, and talking old trees, and big crocodiles in the swamp riding us, and it was beautiful. ”

"Sorry, I seem to be wrong. ”

Coming back from those memories, little Lancey had fallen asleep on his arm, and the smile on the corner of her little mouth seemed to have dreamed of that beautiful place in Lance's words.

Gently pulling out her arms, she stroked her long hair, and quietly walked out of the room.

Late at night, when everyone in the church was asleep, and as little as possible the sound of stepping on the boards, Lance went to Nosa's room, the best room in the church, which had once been the room of another administrator of the church, and was later transferred to Ascot.

Nossa had apparently been waiting at the door for a while.

"You're here. ”

"I'm coming. ”

Lance walked into the room, and there was another man inside, carrying a rusty sword and a thin notebook in his hand, and he seemed to notice Lance's arrival, removing the notebook that covered his face, revealing a simple smile.

"Hello, I haven't seen each other for a few days, officially introduce myself, my name is Anno, and Sivi is my other name. ”

Lance looked at him, "I think you should have died at the hands of Ashi. ”

"Almost, but I paid the price. ”

Anno shook his other empty sleeve, and saw that Lance seemed a little disappointed.

Turning to look at Lord Nosa, Lance's face was a little dark, "Can you guarantee Rancy's safety in the future?"

The sudden strange question made Nosa a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"You are to expose Ashi and Lear, in their present status, especially one of whom is still a knight, and above them there must be greater lords and members of the Holy Cross. ”

"If it is revealed, it will touch the rights of the various lords and the church, which will require my identity as the Dark Cross Church, and I will sacrifice myself to allow you to successfully verify their identity, provided that you can guarantee Lancey's safety and tell me who Sri is. ”

Such crazy words successfully suppressed the two of them.
