I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 191 190. A strange disease?

Lloyd hesitated for a while before finally speaking:
"You guy... I want to have a serious discussion with you!"

"Ouch, ouch? Are you angry? Hehe, I'm really sorry. A bad woman like me just likes to make people angry... Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, no matter what you want to discuss, it's all here It’s not a suitable place, so aren’t you worried about being seen by Wei Ya?”

Metis was still so sinister, and then motioned for Lloyd to follow, then opened his legs and walked towards the outside of Tower No. [-].

My Wei Ya is not such a stingy woman!

Lloyd shouted in his heart, and for the sake of borrowing the bell on weekdays, he still bit the bullet and followed Metis' footsteps.

But then again, this guy wears a dirty white coat every day, and his figure is not noticeable at all, but when he walks, his slender waist twists beautifully, like a beautiful poisonous snake twisting and dancing. That feeling.

It's a pity that this guy gets himself drunk most of the time and rarely walks normally like this.

Soon, the two found a bench in a deserted place outside Tower No. [-].

As a result, Metis took the lead and sat down in the middle of the bench with her petite and exquisite body, occupying the entire chair and not allowing Lloyd to sit next to her.

This is indeed in line with the style of a 'bad woman'...

Then, she took a few more sips, and then asked:

"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Lloyd had no choice but to stand on the edge of the bench and talk about the failure of the ritual, as well as the "experience words" of the quartermaster Andrew before, and finally asked:

"Have you ever encountered a failure these days? Have you encountered any danger? How did you deal with it at that time?"

"Oh my, you really have a lot of problems? I really don't know how Wei Ya tolerates you on weekdays, but... humph~ Are you caring about me? Then let me just be a little touched. , after all, I am a bad woman..."

Metis still had the same cynical tone, took a few more sips of wine, and then said:
"I did encounter two failures, but they were not serious. They could be solved with just a few quick moves, huh? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you think that it's just a -3rd floor monster? Can you really trouble me? I'm just afraid of trouble..."

"However, I agree with the priest's view. The existence of high-ranking powerful men is not just as simple as providing combat power... Hehe, don't remember it, this is all content that is not in the books."

Metis's eyes and appearance were always covered by her seaweed-like messy hair, making it impossible for others to see. However, she seemed to have a pair of sharp "drunken eyes". Even though she was a little dizzy after drinking, she could still catch them. Lloyd's expression changed.

So every time you are stared at by her, you will feel a little uncomfortable, as if you are being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Why isn't this in the book?"

Lloyd asked with some confusion.

"Who knows? Maybe I don't think it's important, maybe I wrote it but I didn't see it. After all, I am just a bad woman who is ignorant and illiterate, but I don't work as hard as you to make progress."

Metis said while shaking his head.

But despite what she said, according to Lloyd's previous [exploration] results, her numerical value actually expanded again:
[Target: Métis]

[Status: Mild Madness]

[Rationality: 70]

【Spiritual Power: 69】

【Inspiration: 42】

[Cognition: 55]

This increase is at the same level as that of his sister Evelor.

Lloyd felt that the two of them were really outrageous. One was writing magazines every day, and the other was drinking every day. As a result, the increase in attributes was faster than that of Wei Ya who worked hard to learn and practice swords every day.

Is it because they are both short and have flat chests?
Lloyd thought about it in his mind, but continued the previous topic:
"Then since you see it this way, it means that the departure of the presiding judge has indeed had some impact on us. It seems that we have to be more careful when executing people in the future, especially when I am not around. You have to be more careful."

"Hehe, you guys really like to care about others, don't you? Even a bad woman like me is not spared? Oops, do you suddenly feel cute?"

Metis still said in a sinister tone, raised his head slightly, a pointed chin was inadvertently exposed from the middle of the hair, and continued:

"But don't underestimate me. I am the baddest woman in the world. I am not the kind of little girl who only talks harshly."

No... With your height and figure, and this mouth, wouldn't you just be a 'little girl with a tough mouth'?

Lloyd sneered, and said the real theme of finding Metis this time:

"Anyway, I may leave for a period of time in the future. The period shouldn't be very long. It will be similar to this time, right? Anyway, when I'm not here, I may have to rely on you... To be honest, I'm quite worried. What happened here?"

District [-] is his home, but as an ambitious young man with vision and structure, he cannot stay at home every day.

After that, whether it was the agreement with the housekeeper or the Mizkatok University mentioned by the presiding judge, I always had to leave for a while.

Because of this, Lloyd was particularly concerned about the safety of District [-] and Tower [-], and arranged to have his house taken care of when he came back one day.

But Lloyd's hard work was rewarded with a burst of sarcasm:
"Hmph~ I really don't understand why guys like you always have to worry about everything, as if you want to save the world." It can be heard that her tone is no longer the same as before, just jokingly bad, but With some obvious anger.

After all, she didn't want to continue chatting with Lloyd at all, so she kept drinking and staggered away.

His steps were no longer as enchanting as before, and became staggering and embarrassing.

The thin back made him look particularly helpless and lonely.

Did I...did I say something wrong?Why are you inexplicably angry again?
Is this also a symptom of [mild mania]?

Lloyd froze on the spot and scratched his head helplessly.

Today, I seem to have some kind of strange disease that can easily make girls angry?

In this world, I'm afraid my sister and Wei Ya are the only ones who won't be angry with me, right?

Lloyd showed a wry smile and turned around and walked towards Tower [-].

But having said that, he always felt that something had happened between Wei Ya and Metis?
But the two of them said nothing...

On the contrary, it made Lloyd more and more curious.

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

Because he offended Metis inexplicably, Lloyd didn't have a bell to use today, so he could only hold on to the books he borrowed from the library and chew on them.

Although with the help of high cognition and [focused learning], the efficiency is not much slower, but there is always an imperfect and uncomfortable feeling, as if the holy relics in the krypton gold mobile game are dozens of points less than others. Critical damage is uncomfortable.

It seems that I still need to prepare a music box for myself...

When Lloyd thought of the music box, he also thought of Valdez. He simply put down the book, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Valdez to establish contact.

After some weighing, he decided not to use his real name. Instead, he gave himself a pen name that would make Valdez feel familiar and friendly and prove his identity - 'Black Knight'.

At the beginning of the letter, Valdez was directly called the 'White Knight'.

In this way, there is no need to mention words such as 'Supreme One' and 'Beloved One', and the other party can also know his origin.

After briefly introducing himself, Lloyd continued to write:
"I have learned about your accomplishments in ritual studies and engineering, and would like to have a brief discussion with you..."

Then, he described his concept of miniaturization and portability of rituals, but he did not rush into the plan of 'making big money'. Instead, he took it step by step, first established exchanges and discussions with the other party, and then slowly figured out how to make money. He joins the gang.

During this period, he found a suitable entry point and mentioned the revolver, asking if it was still in stock and whether he would accept customization.

Finally, there are some polite words, plus a conclusion that deepens the other party’s trust:

"I sincerely hope that our exchanges can point to a future free from shackles."

That should be fine.

The letter is anonymous and will be sent to any mailbox later without requiring a reply from the other party.

Because Lloyd had already made an appointment with Valdez in the letter, and they would meet at the "Bullseye" game area in the 'Dream Theater' at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It is definitely a place suitable for anonymous communication.

After preparing the letter, Lloyd planned to continue reading, but Wei Ya suddenly came to the door with two strange inquisitors.

"Hello, Executioner Lloyd, I am Riggs from District [-], he is my partner, Jin."

"We're here for a theft of materials."

As soon as the two judges entered the door, they each said.

The fact that they could see Lloyd wearing a small vest showed that his [inspiration] was not low.

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, remembering that Wei Ya had mentioned this 'Second Area' to him.

"Second District? I remember that was in charge of internal affairs picketing..."

His heart suddenly twitched. Could it be that he had picked up some scraps and was found out?
Judge Jin nodded and continued:
"Yes, so please cooperate with our inquiry, because you are the witness who has the most contact with the stolen goods."

"The only witness?"

Lloyd seemed to have thought of something, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The other party did not say that he was a suspect, but an eyewitness, and added the word 'only'...

Lloyd suddenly thought of something:
"Could it be that... the cargo on the airship I returned to is missing?"
