I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 104 103. Ancient mysterious and powerful

Because she had important things to do tomorrow, Everol went to bed early holding the hammerhead shark doll, without even chatting with Lloyd.

Lloyd went back to his room and flipped through the magazine, which contained his sister's hard work.

The first story is great. It tells the story of a young man and woman living in the countryside. They heard about the legend of a 'love clover' and decided to try to find it.

After a little adventure, the two actually found the legendary 'Clover of Love' in the wild. Then, under the witness of the clover, they made an oath and got married soon after going. He had a child and lived a happy life.

But soon, the man noticed how this child looked nothing like him?

After some questioning, he didn’t even know who the child’s father was…

So he angrily ran back to the wild to find the 'love clover' and wanted an explanation. As a result, the clover had long since transformed into a monster and swallowed him up...

At the last moment of his life, the man saw the numerous bones in Clover's belly, and he no longer knew how many people he had eaten.

The first story ended here. Lloyd nodded repeatedly and gave a high evaluation:

"What a good story. It is concise and lively yet has twists and turns. It is also very educational and can remind the world that love and happiness must be achieved by oneself, rather than relying on such illusory legends..."

"Putting this story at the beginning also implicitly expresses the tone of this magazine. Many legends are dangerous. Just read them, don't believe them, don't look for them."

He continued to read the next two stories, both of which were of extremely high quality. One was a comedy and the other was a drama, which complemented the tragedy of the first one. The reading experience was excellent.

But it was only halfway through, and there were two more serials that would be the highlight. But Lloyd looked at the time, closed the magazine, and then carefully stored it away.

"She is indeed my sister. The magazine she produces is great! I will recommend it to my colleagues in the [-]th District tomorrow!"

Lloyd is also proud of his sister's achievements.

"So, I have to work hard here!"

With that said, he lay down on the bed and entered his [Thinking Realm]. Then he found the tentacle grass and opened the glass cover.

"let's start."

........................

Jenkins has not been having a good time these days. He has been locking himself in the study and leaving all the work at hand.

After the last divination failed in the basement and he fell into coma, he lay in bed until the next day before waking up. Then he quickly called his students and performed a mental evaluation on himself.

The result is quite normal, he is not crazy yet, he still remembers who he is, his memory has not deviated much, and his temperament has not changed much.

But the price is that the black and white grid of the [Chess Game] is more seriously distorted, and the originally brand-new and complete texture also shows signs of damage - there are several cracked lines on the bottom, and the corners have become rounded due to wear and tear. .

Jenkins knew that this was a terrible price that [Chess Game] had to bear for himself...

For a moment, he felt panicked and excited at the same time.

To my horror, the mysterious 'audience' was more powerful than I expected;
The excitement is that He is definitely a [Supreme One], transcending the existence of saints.

So Jenkins has been thinking about countermeasures alone for the past two days. Should he stay away?Or follow up contact?Or should we say whistle-blowing?

Before he could weigh the pros and cons, he suddenly felt a spin in his head, his eyes went dark, and he fainted in front of his desk.

The consciousness turned into the black soldier and landed in the center of the black and white chessboard.

Then, three more chess pieces appeared next to him, and then the white bishop exclaimed:
"Eh, eh? What's going on? Why did you drag me in for a meeting? You had a hard time escaping last time, but it hurts me so much!"

Except for her, everyone else remained quiet. Even if you couldn't see the expressions on their faces, you could feel the solemnity on their bodies.

The white bishop Ai Luoluo was stunned, turned his head and glanced at the edge of the chessboard.

There was an extra figure there that was not there before.

He was wearing a set of rotten and broken armor, the original shape and color could no longer be distinguished, and it seemed that it would break into a pile of powder if touched casually.

He was sitting on a dark, high-backed chair, holding his chin in one hand, lowering his head slightly, and quietly looking at the chessboard in front of him.

His position is not where the chess players are sitting, but from the perspective of the audience from the side. However, everyone on the chessboard is like a small chess piece in front of Him. He can easily move it with his hand. Hold it, and then decide the direction of the entire game.

In this chess game, there should be only two colors: black and white, but in this audience, Elolo can see the dilapidated gray, the decayed earth color, the rusty patina, and the looming dark red under the rust. .

In many cases, only chess players and chess pieces must respect the rules, and the audience can be more casual.

Behind the high-backed chair, there was an extra layer of gray fog, in which two spiral towers could be vaguely seen, winding and climbing, seemingly reaching the sky.

Ai Luoluo only looked at it for about two seconds, and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head, and his ears began to buzz.

"do not look!"

Black Chariot Goldron quickly reminded.His voice sounded obviously panicked, not as calm as before.

"What should we do? Should we say something?"

White Knight Valdez asked in a low voice, his voice sounded a little weak, without the confident feeling before.

At this time, only Jenkins can stand up.

"Let me negotiate with Him..."

After saying that, he turned around cautiously, lowered his head, and could only look at the chessboard under his feet, and then said hello in a neither humble nor condescending manner:

"Hello, mysterious [Supreme One], it is an honor to meet you here."

The Most High?
The remaining three people were shocked when they heard this address.

Is this actually real?

Although they joined Jenkins' society, they did not fully agree with all of his ideas. For example, existences such as the Supreme Being were often heard as stories.

Only Jenkins believed it.

But in this situation, they had no choice but to believe it.

The three of them knew very well that this [chess game] was mysterious and powerful. It had been running steadily for several years without any accidents. Except for the owner, the black soldier, not even the saints could interfere with or affect this ancient relic. .

So now even the owner here is helpless about this mysterious audience, which is enough to prove the black soldier's statement.

The [Supreme One] really exists, and there really is a way to surpass the Saint!

This discovery slightly eased the fears of the three of them.

Lloyd, who was outside the screen, was also surprised by this title.

What does [Supreme One] mean?
It was the first time he had heard the term.

After all, he has been reading things in the library, and of course it will not contain such conjectures at the level of street fiction.

So how should I respond?
Lloyd thought for a while and sent an ambiguous 'barrage':
"Interesting title."

The four people in the chess game looked at the line of words floating in front of them, and wanted to close their eyes, but it was useless. The line of words was still slowly floating in front of their eyes, and finally disappeared to the left side of the field of vision.

But compared to before, they didn't feel uncomfortable, their brains didn't hurt, and there were no weird murmurs in their ears.

It seems that the 'audience' has shown mercy...

Jenkins chewed on this sentence carefully, and thought about it with all his strength.

The other party did not deny the definition of [Supreme One], but it seemed to be the first time he heard this title. This shows that His existence is very ancient, and is probably isolated from the world, and does not even exist in the world under the general definition... …

While pondering, Jenkins mustered up the courage to raise his head and secretly glance at the other party's image, and then quickly looked away.

But that ancient and decaying image confirmed his guess.

He may be an existence as old as [Chess Game], and he may have just woken up?
No wonder He said before that he had no ill intentions and just wanted to get to know us. Maybe he wanted to understand the world through us?
Jenkins made some bold assumptions, and then began to carefully verify:
"This is what humans today call a being like you. It is not offensive, because in our eyes, a being like you is ancient, mysterious, and powerful."

Uh... This guy seems to have some strange misunderstanding about me?
Outside the screen, Lloyd scratched his head, feeling that the situation seemed to have deviated from the expected trajectory.

He never wanted to show off in front of others, he just wanted to communicate normally, build trust, and make a lot of money together.

How did things develop like this?How did it become 'ancient, mysterious and powerful'?
But after Lloyd thought about it, this seemed to be a good idea. If he could really establish an image of the [Supreme One] in their eyes, his successors would save a lot of trouble.

So he thought about his words and sent an old-fashioned barrage:
"You guys are very interesting. I enjoy listening to your discussions."

When the four people on the chessboard saw these words floating in front of their eyes, part of their nervousness suddenly disappeared.

This [Supreme One] did not show any malice, but showed interest, and his methods were relatively mild, so his life should not be in danger for the time being.

As for why the other party likes to listen in, maybe it’s like adults occasionally listening in on children’s chats and finding them fun and interesting?

The four people present did not dare to speculate too much on each other's thoughts, but since the other party said that he liked to listen, then...

Jenkins cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Ahem, let's start today's seminar."
