Chapter 38: Research Institute
Nossa stepped out of the shadows and looked at the departing man in the stands, "Isn't he exactly the one you need right now?"
"I don't need my territory to be strong, as long as I can build a full territory. ”
The reason why Lance chose the territory was more to give Lancy a calm and peaceful childhood, which was too dazzling and would cause some people's malice and jealousy.
"Let's leave at dawn, Grandpa Nosa, there is something waiting for us in the village of Sit. ”
Nossa knew that Lance had chosen the village of Sit as his territory for a reason, which was why he had helped him get the land in front of Viren.
"What's that?"
"Sri stuff. ”
....................................................................................
The gray and gloomy sky, with a hazy drizzle, tried to wash away this blackened land little by little.
The ruins left behind by the burning of houses, the bare and hard ground that could not even take root and grow even the toughest grass, this is the village of Sit, and it is also a dead land.
Glancing over, the picture in my memory did not match the current Sit Village at all, and more than two months was enough time to make it unrecognizable.
The only thing that still fits is the half-dilapidated church that is left behind, where Lance lived for the longest time.
The past flashed through his mind like a series of comic books, like closing a heavy photo album, and Lance chose to seal these memories, not to forget, but to treasure.
Those past days will eventually be drowned in the long river of time.
Two tall mechanics appeared, "Clean up here." ”
Soon, the broken stones were moved aside, clearing a path into which they could enter.
Several rooms of the church collapsed and mixed together, and Lance managed to find the room that belonged to Sri.
"Lan Xi, can you use the things I gave you for storage first?"
"Hmm. ”
The old pattern, this is the Holy Cross medal of the Sri Army.
"Grandpa Nosa, please inject your magic. ”
"Good. ”
With the rich magic power injected into it, an illusory magic array appeared at the feet, and the dense magic power graphics and texts reflected this complex function, under the traction of the magic power, the medal was inlaid in the center of the magic array, completing the entire magic power line.
A large gate came into view, and the vague fluctuating pattern seemed to disappear at any moment.
Nosa's pupils shrank slightly, and Sri actually got a separate space!
"Let's go. ”
Lance pushed open the door, and inside was a bright space, divided into laboratories with different functions, transparent to each other, separated only by a thin barrier of space, this was Sri Academy.
"Wow, what's in this room? There's a lot of complicated stuff!"
"These are used to check the blood. ”
"Do you need so many things to check your blood?
Nossa smiled, and only Lance knew that what she said was true.
With so many novelties that she had never seen before, she was soon attracted to something else.
"Why is there only one glittering magic circle in this room?"
"This one is used to extract the power of life. ”
"What about this?"
........................................................................
The deeper he followed Lance, the lower Nosa's gaze became, this research institute was very complete, and it was conceivable that Sri had put a lot of effort into this place.
But in the end, he did not break free from the curse of fate, which was his responsibility as a mentor, and he should have faced it with him.
Familiar with the road to the place that has been divided into rest areas.
There are two enclosed rooms here, one for Sri and one for his.
"Grandpa Nosa, let's take a look separately. ”
"Hmm. ”
....................................
Gently pushed the door open, the dim candle flame illuminated the small room, the books everywhere were messy, the quilts and clothes were littered everywhere, and the walls were graffiti with all kinds of pictures, most of which were pictures of brave men fighting demons, and it could be seen that the owner of this room was not only sloppy, but also a child full of blood.
"It's a mess. The little guy covered his nose, and there was a faint smell of stinky feet.
"If Lancey is willing to help me clean up, I'll give you this room, okay?"
"No, I don't want this stinky, windowless room. ”
An embarrassed smile appeared on his face, this was his own room, "And what room do you want?"
"I wanted Grandpa Nossa's big, nice room. ”
"If you clean it for me, I'll make you that big, beautiful room outside, okay?"
"Really?"
"Really. ”
"Then leave it to me. The little guy patted his flat chest, made sure to complete the task, picked up the broom that was taller than her, and the cleaning that belonged to little Lancey began.
Lance looked at the box hidden under the bed, and he remembered that he had gone without them.
On the other side, Sri is in a tidy room.
Nossa looked at the notes left on the desk, all of which were small everyday things.
As if thinking of something, Nossa looked under the desk, where there was a light on the corner of the desk that could reach the place, but it was shrouded in shadows.
"You're still used to it. ”
The magic was attached to his hand, Nosa stretched out his hand and inserted it into this shadow, as if reaching into a pocket, and took out a thick notebook, on the yellowed and old cover was an even older portrait, and the eyes that fell on it trembled slightly, these were four people, the years blurred the faces above, but they could not erase the deep memories that remained in the depths of his mind.
It was him and his three proudest apprentices, and now only Viren was left alive.
Flipping through the heavy note, the opening text made Nosa stunned, "Dear Mentor, when you read this notebook, I think I was gone. ”
"You once said that I was your proudest apprentice, and I'm sorry I let you down. ”
"I hope you can forgive me for my selfishness and forgive me for leaving. ”
"Whatever you see, don't give this notebook to Lance, and don't tell this kid anything. ”
"Tell him everything when you feel he's mature enough to take it on. ”
"And, if you can, I want you to take care of this child for me, just as you did for me. ”
"Goodbye, Mentor, may the light of life guide you on your path. ”

The box is much heavier than it looks, and the fine grain and bandaging style look more like a gift box.
Inside was a sword, a book, and a note.
It had the handwriting that Lance was most familiar with, "A birthday present for Lance." ”
The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and he took out the Holy Cross medal from his pocket, and his calm eyes reflected the old patterns on it, and brought it to his mouth, as if whispering in someone's ear, "I received the gift, thank you, Sri Si." ”
