Selim walked into the manor in a hurry without saying hello to the servant guarding the door.
His head and face were covered with fine beads of sweat, and his body was trembling slightly. He almost broke into the laboratory, then put the suitcase next to him, and he collapsed as if he had lost all his strength. on a stool.
"Huhu. Uh." He breathed heavily and swallowed hard.
"I have to continue the experiment, I have to continue the experiment." His mood seemed to have calmed down a little. He climbed up from the stool with difficulty and reached out to open the suitcase on the test bench.
But at this time, the door of the laboratory opened.
"Ah!" Selim fell back involuntarily and sat on the ground as if he was frightened.
The half-opened suitcase was already open when Selim tugged hard when he fell.
Lu Silan, who was standing at the door, looked at the little boy huddled in the box and said blankly: "Master?"
"What's this?"
Selim, who fell to the ground, suddenly got up at an extremely fast speed, holding his own staff in his hand. The magic circle had appeared.
"Master!?" Lu Silan, who was still injured, was startled and quickly turned around to avoid the water magic thrown by Selim.
Then he turned around, but Selim put his elbow on his neck and pinned him to the wall.
"Why are you here? Huh?" Selim's eyes flashed red, and his arm was holding Luslan's neck very hard.
"Because I woke up, I wanted to come to the laboratory to have a look. Master, please let go. I can't breathe." Luslan used his unfractured right hand to squeeze Selim's arm with difficulty.
Selim seemed to wake up suddenly and took two steps back. Luslan fell to the ground with all his strength, coughing violently.
"Sorry, Lu Silan, I overreacted." Selim wiped the sweat from his head and quickly helped Lu Silan up.
The two of them looked at the little boy Nora Broll who was still unconscious on the test table, neither of them spoke.
"This is against the regulations of the clock tower. You should know it clearly." Lu Silan said through gritted teeth.
"I have no choice, Luslan." Selim clenched his fists, "This experiment must be completed! The time between the next batch of artificial humans from the Einzbern family is too long, so I can only do this. The next best thing."
"This is... no solution!"
"I was forced to do this!"
He murmured, not sure whether he was talking to himself or Lu Silan.
"What's your attitude? Lu Silan?" Selim looked at Lu Silan standing next to him with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"...I have no choice." Lu Silan's tone was filled with sadness.
"." Selim pondered for a while, "In that case, then you can continue to help me record it."
Selim sealed off the laboratory, and only he and Lu Silan could get close within 20 meters of the laboratory.
That night, the little boy Nora Broll, who was brought back from outside by Selim, woke up.
"What is this place?" He huddled in the corner in horror, looking at Lu Silan in front of him, "Who are you?"
Lu Silan looked at Noerla in front of him, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
He gently held Noella's hand, crying silently.
Sorry. I can't save you
Noella was stunned when she looked at Luslan who was in tears.
Lu Silan called softly and held Noerla into his arms.
"Sorry. I can't save you, kid."
Although Noerla was confused and scared, seeing the uncle in front of him sobbing, he also fell into sadness.
He patted Lu Silan's back with his small palm, as if to comfort a child.
"Why are you so sad?" Noerla asked with a trembling voice.
"I can't say, child, I can't tell you." Lu Silan hugged Noerla tightly, "Just like even if I can't save you, I will still be by your side."
Nora listened blankly.
"I will always be by your side. Even if you go to the abyss, I will be by your side forever."
"I can only tell you this."
After giving Noerla some food and water and using sleep magic to make him sleep, Selim took Luslan out.
Lu Silan followed Selim, looked at Selim's back, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Master, you have really changed a lot."
".I know." Selim's voice was full of exhaustion, "This kind of change is what I am pursuing."
Lu Silan sneered and did not continue speaking, but his eyes revealed self-deprecation and sadness.
Do I really have the qualifications to talk about other people?
"I have only one thing in mind from the beginning to the end." Selim's eyes revealed determination, "I must complete this experiment! Create the most perfect familiar, filling the gap of the Zolgen family's gem attribute magic power. The white space outside.”
"That's all I want."
"Even if this is just the price you pay, you won't have to pay it yourself?" Lu Silan asked again.
".You don't need to say anything, Luslan." Selim turned his head and glanced at Luslan, "I will not change my mind."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Go get what I asked for earlier." Selim said, quickening his pace.
He took Lu Silan to Mark's office.
"You're here, I've prepared things for you." Mark saw Selim and said with a smile.
"I knew you were reliable." Selim also breathed a sigh of relief, "Approximately how many?"
"Two relatively high-quality cursed bodies, one comes from the fifty-second floor and is the tail skeleton of an adult Hydra, and the other comes from the forty-sixth floor. According to the test, it should be the hind leg bone of a sub-dragon. The others are some ores from the 40th to 60th floors, which add up to a ton." Mark put down his pen and stood up, "Not all of them are high quality, some are uneven, and the time is too short for me. This is all I can get, and it cost me a lot of resources.”
Lu Silan followed the two men silently, his body shaking undetectably.
"That's enough. These are enough for me to use for a while." Selim grabbed Mark's hand and shook it vigorously, "Thanks."
"Let's not say thank you. I hope you can achieve your wish soon." Mark patted Selim on the back.
The two returned to the laboratory, bringing a cart full of resources with them.
"Then, the fourth phase of the experiment begins." Selim said calmly.
