Chapter 215: Sinners
One thing was happily decided by Lanaya and Grint, and both of them became the new alchemy apprentices of the Hidden Sanctuary. Of course, Lanaya's apprentice is false, and the recipes she stole in the archives before add up, which is definitely enough for her to get the rank of an intermediate alchemist, but unfortunately now it is a loss, a forget, and everything has to start from scratch.
While the two of them were quietly familiarizing themselves with the books, the silence was broken by the light of an amethyst ring.
"Zovet, what's the matter?" asked Lanaya.
"It's sad. Zovet's tone was very low: "This afternoon, there is a memorial service. All members of the Hidden Sanctuary are required to participate. There's one of them, and I have a pretty good relationship with him...... That's when I heard the news......"
"What's going on?"
Grint put down the book in his hand, got up from his chair and walked over with a frown.
"The Hidden Sanctuary has lost fourteen Silver Class 1 elites. Remember the 'death squads' that caused a stir in the Hidden Sanctuary last year, and only two of them came back alive. ”
"You mean...... Those ...... who went to the Demon Realm"
"Yes. ”
Lanaya was speechless for a while. Fourteen silver-level first-class elites! According to the realm, they are generally above the realm of entry, and they are almost all wiped out!
And what about herself? She once dared to join them, she really didn't know the truth of being a foot taller! She also thought that it was just a convenient thing to let them bring witch spirit grass to her......
At this time, Ranaya felt that she was a heinous sinner, and it was not only the killing that would make people feel guilty, but also the guilt of being guilty of others. How many people has she lost? Especially, even Madeleine, the dignified alchemy master, is among them!
"Hey...... Death is an inevitable thing......"
"Especially here, who knows how long we can live......" Zovet suddenly sighed to himself: "I used to want to go out and see the world more, it was because I was young and ignorant, but now I want to stay quietly in the safest place, and don't care about anything, but I don't have this privilege anymore......"
"Are you listening to me?"
"Ah, there is ......" Lanaya pulled her thoughts back, what Zovet said was not the truth?The Hidden Sanctuary was originally a place that mainly cultivated combat elites, and the entire force combined was even comparable to the military strength of the entire country. Why?
Because no one will know when war will break out in times of peace. And in war, it must be the weak who suffer!
In this world, everyone has fantasized about dominating the world, but it is precisely because of these people that there are some people with strong personal heroism, who eventually become kings or become the pinnacle of the dominant party, they have selfishness and endless expansion of pride, so the world can never be twisted into a rope, so the Meka Mountains will so easily cut the Violet Continent into two sections!
At the memorial service, the mourning echoed throughout the hall. Lanaya didn't have the courage to look ahead, although the main cause of this tragedy was not her, she should still reflect on herself, the principle of self-interest should have been put aside in front of the alliance a long time ago. She was always vaguely aware that these people died because of her selfish request.
If Ranaya hadn't made a commission to these people, she wouldn't have felt what their deaths meant. Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sinking boat, a row of people fell, and a team of Hao Haoran came up, new forces are endless, things always perish in development, and reborn from extinction. Immutable conservation, people do not need to refute anything, and they are powerless to refute it.
"Enoch, isn't it......" Lanaya found the name of a man in her memory, and when this place was over, she must apologize to this person. She can't escape what she should face.
It was only at this moment that Lanaya suddenly felt that someone behind her had been watching her. Her mental power and perception had been refined before she came to this world, and as long as she concentrated a little bit of her spirit, she could easily feel it.
But in such a solemn and solemn scene as the memorial service, Ranaya couldn't make a gesture to turn back, so she couldn't know who that person really was.
She could only be sure that it was someone she knew, and she was a certain age, because under the gaze of such a gaze, she felt her own insignificance.
Finish. Lanaya couldn't wait to find the person who was looking at her just now, but everyone was wearing the same formal clothes, looking at their backs, and it was difficult to tell who was who.
"Who are you looking for?" a hand landed on Lanaya's shoulder.
Lanaya was startled and looked back. She saw Tony squinting and smiling at her, the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes like a knife cut. She didn't dare to slack off, and bowed her head slightly: "Uncle Tony." ”
"That's not going to work, keep your head up!" Tony patted Lanaya on the shoulder.
Lanaya could only raise her head slowly, her expression very unnatural. She felt a little uncomfortable stopping in this crowded place and standing face to face with someone.
Tony seemed to see Lanaya's embarrassment, pointed his gaze forward, and said, "I want to talk to you." Let's change places. ”
Lanaya nodded stiffly and walked out with Tony. The person who had been looking at her just now could be sure that it was Tony, but when did he come to his back?
The place Tony was referring to was naturally the hall master's outer hall that was difficult for ordinary people to approach half a step. It would be a waste for the three of them to use a place comparable to the Imperial Palace......
However, there seems to be one more person today.
"Coming?" the door opened, and he saw Kurori standing in the hall from afar, standing with his hands in his hands, and next to him stood another person, the two of them presented two completely different styles, Kurori was towering like an upright gentleman, but the one next to him exuded an unapproachable coldness, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the night.
So it seemed that his face was a little pale, as pale as a blade under the moon.
Lanaya looked at the battle and wondered if she should bow something, but was gently pushed by Tony.
It wasn't until we got closer that the snow melted. When Lanaya's gaze fell on Adrian, the corners of Adrian's mouth moved slightly.
Lanaya had to respond, but before her smile could form, she pursed her lips and rubbed her right eye a little uncomfortably.
"Didn't wake up?" Kuroli's tone was exactly the same as joking.
"I'm sorry. Lanaya whispered.
"I'm going to get straight to the point. Kurori gave Tony a look, and Tony nodded. Kurori continued, "Adrian, you have accepted my assessment. I have made it very clear to you the content of the assessment. The next thing you have to do is execute it. Once you've done that, you'll be able to become the Glory Hunter of the Hidden Sanctuary, with the same power as the Elders. Lanaya. ”
"In. ”
"You go and supervise him. ”
Lanaya was stunned for a moment, looking at Kuroli as if stunned.
Kurori didn't speak, still looking at Lanaya, as if waiting for an answer.
Lanaya looked like a robot, her index finger slowly pointing at her nose.
Kurori nodded.
"Why...... Is it?" Lanaya grinned, a little embarrassed. Superintendent Adrian?So what can she do herself?
"Because only you meet all the requirements. Kurori said lightly: "In other words, because it can only be you." ”
"Hall Master, I ......" Lanaya glanced at Adrian, thought for a while, and finally said: "I used the power of 'it' again, I can't do anything now, can I ......"
Although he couldn't think of a reason to explain this fact, since Adrien even knew that Lanaya was a Templar Assassin, there was no need to hide any secrets of the Holy Spirit Armor in front of him.
"And what do you want to do?"
Do you want to tell the truth?, Lanaya struggled in her mind, and told Kurori that she wanted to stay in the Hidden Sanctuary to study alchemy. On the one hand, it is for research, and on the other hand, it is to restore one's own realm.
"That's all you have left?" Kurori smiled a little in surprise, and continued, "Don't worry, it's not a dangerous thing I gave him, and if you fail the assessment, I won't have any punishment for you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Adrian, you tell her when you get back. In addition, it's time for your stealth department to find someone to temporarily replace you, and go back and arrange it. ”
Adrian nodded.
Lanaya was shocked again, she was fooled again! I didn't expect that a single question could cause trouble, and Kurori took it as her acquiescence! But in front of such a high-status hall master, she didn't dare to quibble anymore, so she could only swallow a mouthful of resentment in her stomach.
......
Defend the army, and the stealth department assembles the hall.
The style of the stealth department is pure black, with occasional star-like spots of light flickering. Where there is light, there is a shadow, and everyone here is like a shadow, wrapped in a black cloak, and if each person adds a long-handled scythe in his hand, it will be the Grim Reaper.
The duty of the stealth department is to go around the enemy's rear line and traumatize the defense. So the styles of the people here are all similar, even the breath is also very similar, and Lanaya is standing in the middle of this group, and she suddenly feels that she is back in the assassination unit.
Adrian stood in front of the group, and he spoke slowly, and a slightly hoarse voice echoed in the hall: "Because of something, I'm going to leave here temporarily. Do any of you think you can take on the responsibility of managing this team?"
"I wonder if the Minister can trust me?" a beautiful voice sounded, and one of the dark figures in the group walked forward, took off his hood, and his black hair like silk fell down.
"Four, this thing is no joke, have you thought about it?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely serious......"
"Hush. ”
Before Four's words could be finished, a voice of disdain familiar to Lanaya rang out.
