"It's Mr. Adam. I'm sorry I can't let you in. The master just passed away, so it's not convenient to see guests." Ai stood at the door, with a polite smile, and he spoke some words that seemed terrible.

"Why do you say Alva, aren't you afraid of being fired?" Adam thought of Alva, whom he had just seen in the church, died at Light Speed?

"How about the master just got crazy?" Ai Ruo thoughtfully, nodded and asked Adam, but he just stood at the door and refused to let Adam in.

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

"I've met Teacher Alva in the church before," Adam said, "He asked me to take a painting called the Past."

"So that's it. Come in first." Ai then breathed a sigh of relief, opened the iron door and put Adam in.

Following Ai to the living room, Ai asked Adam to wait here, and then turned around to get the painting.

Adam has no habit of being frivolous in other people's homes. unnecessary exploration will only put himself in a dilemma without any benefits.

But this did not prevent Adam from observing the room.

"The obvious aristocratic decoration, this mansion should have belonged to the noble before." The last time Adam came, before he could observe carefully, he was filled with his mind by two choices thrown by Alva.

After careful observation this time, Adam found that the style here is very similar to that in the reflection tower.

"It's not surprising that the styles are similar, but some decorative symbols are almost exactly the same." Adam gradually made speculation.

"This mansion should have belonged to Anthony, but after that Anthony was trapped in the reflection tower, and the place was handed over to Alva."

Because of this, Alva calls this place not my house, but formally calls it Latu's house.

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

After some nobles lose their achievements and lose their essence, in order to commemorate their past honors, they will abandon their former surnames and instead regard their noble names as their own surnames.

If Anthony had no descendants to inherit the name of the noble, and he was in this secret state, the Latu family was in name only. Alva, who caused all this, was likely to abandon his surname and choose to inherit the name of the Latu.

"There are some paintings." Adam's subsequent attention was attracted by some paintings on the wall.

Today is different from the past. He vaguely realized that magic was applied to these paintings. If nothing unexpected happens, it would be similar to when he entered the Thousand Painting House before, and these paintings are another channel of different dimensions.

"It's similar to Teacher Anthony's opening of a reflection tower?" Adam guessed that he was not easy to tell whether Alva or Anthony is stronger.

"The reflection tower is the ritual of Teacher Anthony. Could it be that Alva's ritual is the Thousand Painting House?" Adam guessed.

Before Adam could continue to guess, Ai walked over with a painting.

The length and width of the painting are about the same as an office desk, with a layer of white cloth covering the surface, so it is impossible to see the contents inside.

Adam took the painting and looked at the content inside. It was a lake with a beautiful scenery. I don’t know whether the sunlight fell or rose. It was reflected on the lake, leaving a long ray of light.

After confirming that the painting was the painting called Past, Adam did not stay for long, but instead headed to the reflection tower in a carriage.

Before leaving, Adam vaguely heard Ai muttering to himself, and wasted two good excuses.

As expected, I met Xilin at the door again.

Silin's face was not very good, especially after Adam appeared, Silin glared at Adam's face.

"Master has been waiting for you for a while... Whose painting is that?" Silin said with a bad face, but then she seemed to find something, her tone increased a lot, and she asked Adam?

"..." Adam felt intuitively that if he said the name Alva, he might have suffered something bad.

Obviously, Silin had reached the extreme of her hatred for Alva. From Adam coming in with Alva's recommendation to some current situations, she became more and more resentful to Alva.

"Xilin..." Anthony pushed open the door and shouted softly, and Xiling's almost thunderous momentum gradually retracted.

"Come in, Adam." Anthony, who had a pale face, barely squeezed out a smile at Adam.

Adam nodded, and became more curious about what happened.

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

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

"Teacher Alva heard that you were feeling uncomfortable, so he specially asked me to bring it to you." Adam looked at Anthony's pale face and felt a little worried. Logically speaking, those who have condensed the ritual should not put themselves in a state of discomfort.

"Is it because as a monk, even if he had to hide his name and transfer his skills, he was still unwilling to choose the immortality method related to alien species, but the current immortality method is flawed?"

The guess was ultimately just speculation. Adam discovered that after Anthony got Alva's painting, he became much more energetic, and the word Adam emerged from the word "return".

He quickly threw away the idea, and Adam saw Anthony gently caressing the lake in the painting.

"Adam, this is a lake next to the seminary." Anthony said softly.

"At that time, our studies were very tight. We had to go to the morning prayer before dawn. After morning prayer, we had to go to the other side to study. There was a ten-minute break during this process, and the sunrise was mostly at that time."

"We need to climb up the wall and sit on the wall to watch the sunrise for a while." Anthony's voice was very soft, and he missed the past very much.

"Our biggest wish at that time was to graduate early, and then ride a boat on the lake to watch the sunrise, so that the warm sunlight would spread on our bodies."

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

Adam looked at that gaze and couldn't bear to speak out and disturb Anthony.

Silin, holding the tea, couldn't help but slow down. Her sapphire blue eyes were placed on Anthony, full of worry.

As if he noticed Adam and Silin's worried gaze, Anthony smiled and said to the two: "Don't worry, the reflection tower is my ritual. As long as I stay in it, I will be fine."

"Teacher, you should still be careful about your health and teach me this matter, don't be so anxious." For so long, Adam vaguely realized that Anthony was not suitable for long-term activities, and in order to teach himself, he waited for him in the library almost every day. No wonder Silin was so dissatisfied with being late today.

"This sentence is not in my interest, and I shouldn't have said it." Adam thought, but he still spoke before: "Forget it, just treat it to win the favor of Anthony and Silin, so that my future study will be smoother."

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

"In addition, Adam, as my disciple, I have something to teach you in addition to the knowledge of the profession of the artsman." Anthony said to Adam with a smile: "You may not want to hear these things."

"A person's life can be long or short. Life is a great miracle. We need to thank God for giving us the opportunity to live." Anthony said.

"However, there should be some things in this life that are more important than life."

"It does not mean that we must give up our lives for these things, but that we must make these things the driving force in our lives and support us to move forward."

"I will never forget the promise of sailing in the lake with my friends in my life. Even if I am in this reflection tower, I will remember the time I sat on the wall of the courtyard to watch the sunrise."

"Adam, this life may be to find these things. When you find them, remember not to let them down and not regret them."

Adam's lips moved, but in the end he just nodded and responded.
