our family is gone

Chapter 298
His words gave Amanda some kind of inspiration, and her brain generally thought in this direction uncontrollably.

Indeed, Lance was right in one way or another.

When the teacher chose me, I did get the best training, but I basically lost myself.

A perfectionist represents a strong desire for control, and basically everything is arranged thoroughly.

At the same time, everything must be done according to her order, and she will not allow any mistakes, and if there is a problem, severe punishment is waiting.

Or simply lose trust in him and get rid of people. Among the people who were selected together, she was the only one who persevered. She used to regard this as some kind of honor, and unswervingly carried out the teacher's orders.

That's why after she was trapped for seven days, the first and most important thing was to regain the trust of the teacher, for fear that the failure of the task would arouse the teacher's suspicion.

But what Lance said just now reminded her that she might not really like this kind of life, or she might have been tired of this kind of control a long time ago.

Otherwise, facing the pressure just now, she would rather fight than really contact the teacher, because she knew that the teacher would not stand up for herself as a loser, and would not even admit her actions.

That's the sad thing about this secret department of theirs.

What Lance said just now planted a seed called "thinking" in her heart.

Am I really me?

Is this really what I want?
Amanda's thoughts became confused, but the sudden strangeness in her hand brought her back to her senses, and only then did she see the scar on her palm that was branded by backlash.

It hurts, it hurts hot, but she still can't stop her from thinking...

Who am I?
…………

After Lance took his things, he went directly to Tamara's car.

"You really got it! How did you do it?" Tamara looked at the pile of things with a curious look on her face.

"you guess?"

When Tamara heard this, she knew that Lance didn't intend to say anything, so she stopped asking and began to check all the materials and props in detail, for fear that there might be some trap or curse in it.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Of course you're not afraid, it's not you who performed the ceremony~" Tamara gave him a blank look, and said it easily, it's not you who will be unlucky if something happens.

"If anything happens, I'll just grab her and bury her with you." Lance echoed with a smile.

"I'm already dead, why should she be buried with me?" Tamara was speechless, but her hands didn't stop.

Soon a psychic ritual was performed by her, and the crystal ball in the center was replaced by her transparent one.

It's just that she sat before the ceremony like this, with a slightly tangled and hesitant expression.

"You don't understand, do you?"

Lance's voice woke her up, and Tamara subconsciously defended herself.

"How could I not understand, it's just...just..."

But halfway through the speech, it seemed like she was stuck. She was actually afraid, afraid of seeing her teacher.

At the beginning, I took away the sacred object without saying a word to the teacher and left the organization.

You don't need to think about it, but you know that this matter will definitely have a great negative impact on the teacher, and it is time to compete for the elder seat.

What face does she have to ask to see the teacher now?

She even doubted that the teacher would respond to her call.

"Some things are destined to be faced." How could Lance not see her thoughts.

As if she had made up her mind, Tamara took a deep breath and straightened up to perform the psychic ritual.

Lance didn't speak from the side, but focused his attention on this.

That's right, he was watching to see if he could steal a lesson.

An important reason for the limitation of territory in the feudal era was the lack of means of long-distance communication.

If mastered, it can greatly enhance the ability to control the territory, which is too important.

But Tamara obviously didn't really intend to show him. After watching for a long time, Lance didn't understand how they communicated. Anyway, the crystal ball kept emitting spiritual light.

And as time went by, Tamara's complexion became worse and worse, not to mention the consumption of maintaining the ceremony, and she couldn't get a response, her loss was almost written directly on her face.

"Persevere, we will try our best even if we fail, and at least we will not leave any regrets." Lance did not lose his patience. Instead, he poured chicken soup to encourage her to persevere.

Of course, there are still some words that Lance did not say.

I am betting on you, you will stand up if you can stand it, and you will stand up if you can't stand it.

Hearing the voice from Lance, Tamara felt the support from her side for the first time in a long time, and her expression restrained a little.

Even Tamara didn't expect the surprise to be in the blink of an eye. There was no reaction just now, but there was feedback just after the ceremony was finished.

Never forgetting must have an echo, and this moment has been interpreted.

"Come here!" Tamara was a little excited, like a child who was about to arrive home.

A distorted and illusory image was projected on the crystal ball, and then gradually became clearer.

It was a middle-aged woman with a thin face and a gentle expression. The ornaments on her body were similar to those of Tamara, with Roma characteristics, wearing gold and silver.

The woman on the opposite side looked a little weird when she saw Tamara.

"I thought you wouldn't find me~"

"Teacher~" But for Tamara, who hadn't seen her for many years, seeing the teacher again at this moment, and hearing the teacher's voice was deeply emotional for a while.

"Do you still have me as a teacher in your heart?" Gentleness does not mean lack of temper. The woman also felt a little resentful when she saw this former student.

"I'm sorry, it's my waywardness that caused trouble for the teacher..."

Tamara was not as stubborn as before, but directly admitted her mistake.

Maybe she really realized her own shortcomings in the conversation with Lance.

The woman was slightly surprised when she saw the calm expression on Tamara's face when she confessed her mistake. Obviously, she didn't expect someone like Tamara to say such a thing.

But it soon became clear, and he sighed.

"It seems that you have finally grown up, unfortunately..."

This sound reminded Tamara of the life she had suffered after leaving the teacher, and the grievances surged in her heart, and at this moment she finally couldn't help crying.

Lance watched from the side and couldn't help frowning, now is not the time for you to reminisce about the old days, there is still business to do.

"Excuse me. In the future, you will have a lot of opportunities to catch up on the past. Let's talk about what you have to say later. Now I need to talk about business."

Lance's sudden penetration broke the growing strange atmosphere, and the woman spotted the man.

"I'm Lance, Earl of the Empire. I need to talk to the one among you who can really make the decision." Before she heard the news, Lance introduced himself and brought the topic to business.

The woman was a little strange about this man who suddenly appeared and called the Earl of the Empire. She knew a lot of imperial nobles from the information she had, but she had never heard of this name.

But she didn't break it down, but nodded.

"You saved Tamara? What do you want?"

"No! I met you not because I want to get something, but whether you want to live or not."

Lance could feel the arrogance of the other party, which was shown unintentionally, even though the other party had done enough superficial effort to appear friendly.

Thinking about it is also true, I am afraid that the people who know themselves in this world have not walked out of Hamlet at all, and as a high-level executive of an extraordinary organization, they naturally look down on an inexplicable guy.

But... are you crazy?I'm fucking crazier than you!
"Hurry up, your status is not enough to decide these things, I want to see your elders."

Sure enough, the woman was also stunned when she heard this, for a moment she didn't even understand why this person had the guts to say this to her?

Tamara, whose gaze subconsciously shifted to one side, was self-evidently puzzled.

But what good is Tamara when Lance has the full rhythm?
"It seems that the battle between you has caused your competitors to conceal information about me, but it doesn't matter, you don't need to know too much, you just need to know that I hold the key to the survival of your organization."

Speaking of Lance, afraid that she might misunderstand something, he added, "It's not that sacred object, I'm not interested in that thing."

The woman became alarmed when she heard this, because the man seemed to know too much about the organization.

And the mention of competitors also made her realize that she knew that those people were chasing Tamara, and even this was the task on the surface, just to beat herself.

But after so many years, there is no movement, and Tamara, who has been cut off for many years, suddenly got the props for the psychic ceremony?
She is not a fool, and the sudden emergence of so many clues makes her look a little dazed.

"I must get more accurate information, otherwise it would be impossible to introduce the elders for you."

"I said that your identity is not qualified to access this kind of information. As for your doubts about my strength, you can try it yourself with your divination and prophecy."

"Teacher, don't do it!" Tamara immediately reminded, regardless of other things, that she had suffered a disadvantage in this matter. At that time, just a little contact would cause backlash. If the teacher really pointed the divination target at Lance Big problem.

For a moment, both Lance and the woman looked at Tamara, and both looked a little strange.

Lance was surprised that she was so nervous to defend the teacher. It seems that the relationship between the two parties should be very good before.

The woman wondered why Tamara said that?
Is it worried that divination will reveal the true face of this person?Or is there really a problem here?

She was suspecting that the two were singing double reeds. After all, no matter what happened at the time, they had been separated for so many years, and both of them were a little strange.

Seemingly feeling the teacher's distrustful attitude, Tamara understood that now that she had spoken, she didn't bother with those things anymore, and instead stood up to Lance.

"Teacher, I ask to see the elder, no matter what the result is, I will return the sacred object."

Lance didn't expect that she would have such courage to take responsibility. It seems that she has indeed grown up.

The woman was also a little surprised. If the sacred object can be brought back, there will indeed be an explanation.

After pondering for a moment, he solemnly agreed.

"Okay, this is the last thing I can do for you, I hope you don't let me down again."

Naturally, Tamara was so moved that she burst into tears. After all these years, the teacher was still willing to shield her from the wind and rain, and how naive she was back then.

Sure enough, it was only after suffering that I realized how precious the security under the protection of the teacher was.

Lance watched all this calmly, but he was also somewhat worried.

This woman's acting skills are better than hers, and she has a strong emotional foundation, so Tamara is subdued with just a few words.

With her around, it might be a bit difficult for me to control Tamara...

However, if Tamara wants to play a role, she must become an astrologer, that is, she needs the help of this teacher.

But in fact, he acquiesced to Tamara's behavior towards the teacher just now.

If even one person can't be accommodated, wouldn't it be a joke for the ancestors if the alliance engages in infighting before it even starts?

Heroes are those who have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambition to swallow the world.

Lance doesn't think he is a hero, but he is also tolerant.

It is not easy to meet the so-called elders, but Lance feels that they are more investigating his background.

But they didn't feel the feeling of being spied on at the beginning, and they didn't know whether they really obeyed Tamara's words or got the information from Amanda.

Finally, the screen trembled for a while, and an old woman with a skinny face appeared in the screen.

Seeing this, Tamara greeted quickly.

"Elder."

"Oh~ it's the child Tamara, who has grown up a lot."

The old woman spoke very casually, with a kind smile on her face, and there was no malice at all because of Tamara's status as a fugitive.

The whole person looks more like a kind and friendly old lady than one of the highest echelons in charge of the Extraordinary Organization.

But if you really thought it was so simple, you would be wrong, but those eyes were extremely bright, not cloudy like the old man at all.

When she looked over, Lance felt the faint pressure.

Lance waved his hand to Tamara with a serious expression.

"You go out first."

Tamara was also taken aback when she heard this, but only hesitated for a second before retreating.

Seeing this scene, the teacher on the opposite side was a little surprised that Tamara was so obedient.

But Lance then signaled to the teacher, "Please leave too. Knowing too much about some things is not a good thing."

No matter what you say, a woman is a high-level organization, but she is not even qualified to know when she is said such a thing.

But she didn't show too strong emotions, but asked the elders for instructions.

"You all go out." The old woman raised her hand and waved, and smiled at Lance after everyone left, "I hope you don't let my old man down."

"Tamara's accident back then was not fake, what she saw was the truth of this world!"

Lance understands that using words with these people is unlikely to be effective. They eat more salt than you, so he just throws a "bomb".

It's just that his "bomb" didn't surprise the old woman too much, on the contrary, he still looked like watching you perform.

Lance couldn't help but feel the pressure, so he had to frown and change his words.

"Do you know the truth about the destruction of Hamlet, the city in the north of the empire?"
