章節 50: Lance's IN(1)
Lance looked around and saw a pile of clothes lying in front of him. He hastily put them on feeling snug in the soft fabric. He was wearing a loose white shirt and pajamas.
The Castellan turned around and said,"Hello Lance. I am called the Castellan. I adopted this name because I take care of my castle that is IE. Initiates like you are the building blocks which keep my castle safe and prevent it from withering away. This is why I did not hesitate to use the ambrosia that I have been collecting since the last 20,000 years."
"Thank you for saving my life.", said Lance as he bowed. The man in front of him looked like he had been through the vicissitudes of time. Such an image demanded respect first and foremost.
Second, he had felt first-hand the effects of the miraculous liquid. Although he had no idea how bad his condition had been, he knew from his memories that he had been very close to never waking up again. The incredible solution had healed both his mind and body. True to its name, it seemed to be the drink of the gods, famed to be able to provide immortality or eternal longevity to the ones who partook of it.
The Castellan smiled seeing this. True gratitude was always a good thing to see in growing seeds. It meant that there was more of a chance of the seed honoring his/her debts.
"Take a seat. We can handle the matter of the ambrosia later. First, lets talk about what happened in the test.", he said gesturing behind Lance.
Lance turned around to see a sofa appear out of nowhere. He decided not to question it as to someone capable of healing him, making things appear magically should be no problem.
The man also took a seat in front of him in another plush sofa. "Tell me everything, beginning from the pre-mission planning." A glass of wine appeared in his hand as he looked at Lance with interest.
Lance thought for a bit before beginning to speak. He described each and everything in as much detail as he could. The man occasionally nodded but never talked. Only the part where they had decided the plan garnered a small smile.
When he got to the part where the bullet slowed down, the man suddenly stood up. Lance paused but he immediately sat back down and motioned him to continue.
After he was done, the Castellan sat in silence looking into space twirling his goatee.
After a minute or so, he stood up and walked to Lance. Lance stood up but the Castellan asked him to sit down and took his right hand. It looked to Lance like he was checking his pulse.
After a moment, the Castellan sat back down. Another silence ensued which Lance didn't dare break. Instead, he looked around.
The Castellan finally spoke after another minute. His face held an expression of deadly seriousness.
"If I am not wrong, you have the rarest Intrinsic Nature in all of humanity:The Wish."
