"It's Mr. Adam, I'm sorry I can't let you in, the master has just passed away, and it's inconvenient to meet guests. Ai stood in the doorway, smiling with a ceremonial smile, and spat out some words that seemed terrible in a serious manner.

"What do you say Alva, aren't you afraid of being fired?" Adam thought of Alva, who he had just seen in the church, was he killed at the speed of light?

"How about the old man just went crazy?" Ai thoughtfully nodded and asked Adam, but the whole person just stood at the door and didn't let Adam in.

Apparently, Adam, like Doug, was on Alva's blacklist.

"I've seen Teacher Alva at the church before. Adam said, "He asked me to take a painting called the past." ”

"I see, you can come in first. Ai breathed a sigh of relief, opened the iron door, and let Adam in.

He followed Ai to the parlor, where Ai asked Adam to wait, and then turned to get the painting.

Adam has no habit of being in other people's homes, and unnecessary exploration will only put himself in a difficult situation, and will not bring any benefit.

But that didn't stop Adam from observing the room.

"Distinctly aristocratic decoration, this mansion was supposed to have belonged to the nobility before. The last time Adam came, before he could take a closer look, his mind was flooded with two choices thrown by Alva.

On closer inspection, Adam found that the style here was very similar to that in the Reflection Tower.

"It's not surprising that the style is similar, it's strange that some of the decorative symbols are almost identical. Adam began to have a guess.

"This mansion was supposed to belong to Anthony, but then Anthony was trapped in the Reflection Tower, and it was given to Alva. ”

Because of this, Alva does not refer to my home, but officially to call it Latour's house.

"Maybe even the name of Alva's Latour was inherited from Anthony. Adam's guess is not impossible.

After some nobles have lost their noble essence after their merits have fallen off, in order to commemorate the past honors, they will abandon their former surnames and take their noble names as their own.

Anthony had no heirs to inherit the name of the nobility, and he was in such a state of secrecy, and the Latour family existed in name only, and Alva, who caused all this, was likely to abandon his surname and choose to inherit the name of Latour.

"There are also some paintings. Adam's attention was then drawn to some of the paintings on the wall.

Now it was different from the past, he was vaguely aware that these paintings were all under spell, if nothing else, then it was similar to when he entered the Thousand Paintings House before, these paintings were all passages from another dimension.

"Is it similar to Mr. Anthony opening the Reflection Tower?" Adam guessed, and he couldn't tell who was stronger either Alva or Anthony.

"The Reflection Tower is Teacher Anthony's sadhana, could it be that Alva's sadhana is the House of a Thousand Paintings?" Adam guessed.

Before Adam could continue to speculate, Ai approached with a painting.

The length and width of the painting are about the same as that of a desk, and the surface is covered with a white cloth, making it difficult to see the contents.

Adam took the painting and looked at the contents, it was a lake, the scenery was very beautiful, the sun did not know whether it was falling or rising, reflected on the surface of the lake, leaving a long glow.

After confirming that the painting was the one called the past, Adam did not stay long, but rode to the Reflection Tower in a carriage.

Before leaving, Adam could vaguely hear Ai muttering to himself, wasting two more good excuses.

Not surprisingly, I met Celine at the door again.

Celine's face was not good, especially after Adam appeared, Celine glared at Adam even more.

"The host has been waiting for you for a while...... Whose painting is that?" Celine said with an unkind face, but then, as if she had discovered something, her tone raised a lot, and she asked Adam?

"......" Adam intuitively sensed that if he said the name Alva, something bad might happen to him.

Obviously, Celine's hatred for Alva has reached the extreme, from when Adam came in with Alva's recommendation in his hand, to now that some things have happened, she resents Alva more and more.

"Celine......" Anthony pushed open the door and shouted softly, and Celine's almost violent momentum gradually retracted.

"Come in, Adam. Anthony, whose face was a little pale, barely managed to squeeze out a smile at Adam.

Adam nodded, curious more and more about what had happened.

Judging from the current contact, Alva is obviously worried about Anthony, and he knows Anthony's current state, but he doesn't know why he hasn't been to the Reflection Tower for a long time, and even cast a curse on himself to prevent himself from telling Anthony about Alva's current situation.

Adam, carrying the painting, walked into the library and handed it to Alva.

"Teacher Alva heard that you are not feeling well, so I specially asked you to bring it to you. Adam looked at Anthony's pale face, and was a little worried in his heart, it stands to reason that a person who has condensed the sadhana should not put himself in a state of discomfort.

"Could it be because once as a monk, even if he had to go incognito and turn into a cultivator, he was still unwilling to choose the immortal method related to the different species, and now the immortal method is flawed?"

Speculation can only be speculation in the end, and Adam found that after Anthony got Alva's painting, he was in a lot of spirits, and the spirit was so good that Adam came up with the word "return to light".

Quickly throwing this thought away, Adam saw Anthony gently caressing the lake in the painting.

"Adam, this is the lake next to the seminary. Anthony whispered.

"At that time, we were very nervous about our studies, we had to go to the morning prayer before dawn, and after the morning prayer, we had to go to the other side to study, and there was a 10-minute break in the process, and the sunrise was mostly at that time. ”

"We need to climb up the fence and sit on the fence to watch the sunrise for a while. Anthony's voice is very soft, and he is very nostalgic for the past.

"Our biggest wish at that time was to graduate early and then set up a boat together on the lake to watch the sunrise and let the warm sunlight shine on our bodies. ”

"It's just a pity that I found many opportunities after that, and there were no people. Anthony was full of regret, but his gaze at the lake in the painting became softer and softer.

Adam looked at the gaze and couldn't bear to disturb Anthony.

Celine, who was holding the tea, also slowed down involuntarily, with a pair of sapphire blue eyes, but they were on Anthony's body, full of worry.

As if sensing Adam and Celine's worried gazes, Anthony smiled and said to the two, "Don't worry, the Reflection Tower is my ritual, as long as I stay inside, I'll be fine." ”

"Teacher, you still have to pay attention to your body, teach me this one thing, don't be in such a hurry. After such a long time, Adam vaguely sensed that Anthony was not suitable for long periods of time, and he waited for him in the library almost every day in order to teach himself, so it was no wonder that Celine was so dissatisfied that she was late today.

"This sentence is not in my interest, and I should not say it. Adam thought about it, but finally spoke up before that: "Forget it, let's just win the favor of Anthony and Celine, so that my future studies will be smoother." ”

"Don't really worry about me. Anthony shook his head, "I'm stronger than you think. ”

"Besides, Adam, as my disciple, I have something to teach you in addition to the knowledge of the sorcerer profession. Anthony smiled at Adam and said, "You probably don't want to hear that. ”

"This life can be very long or very short, life is a great miracle, we need to thank God for giving us the opportunity to live. Anthony said.

"However, there should be something in this life that is more important than life. ”

"It's not that we have to give up our lives for these things, but we have to let these things become the driving force in our lives and support us to move forward. ”

"I will never forget the promise of boating in the lake with my friends, even in this reflection tower, I will remember the time when I sat on the courtyard wall and watched the sunrise. ”

"Adam, this life may be the purpose of finding these things, and when you find them, remember not to let them down, and not to regret them. ”

Adam's lips moved, but he finally nodded his head in response.

"Yes. ”
