I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 298 297. Try your magic talent

After packing the storage bag, Lloyd looked at the collar clip and hourglass he had received.

This collar is not a sacred object, but a very high-end space equipment that can teleport yourself back to a set safe zone the moment you encounter fatal danger.

This is undoubtedly a good thing and can save lives at critical moments.

As for the last synchronized hourglass that Dandy praised so much, Lloyd held it in his hand and played with it for a long time, but he didn't find out what the specific use of it was. Don’t have any corresponding knowledge in your mind?

But Dandy has no reason to lie to himself, right?

Lloyd thought for a while, and finally decided not to think too much about it, but to trust the advice of other seniors and keep the hourglass close to his body.

At this point, he finally finished taking stock of all the new things he had acquired, and he also had a basic impression of Mizkatok in his mind.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was still early at six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was nothing to do at the moment. Lloyd simply took the little cat with him and prepared to walk around to deepen his understanding of this place.

He left his dormitory and wandered around the dormitory area again.

The remaining luxurious dormitories here seem to be occupied by people, and you can see some atmosphere of life. Some of them even have some flowers and plants in the garden.

For example, the person who lives next door to Lloyd has a lot of various plants in the front garden.

But this flower...why does it have a bloody mouth? It looks so vicious...

This thing looks like a sapling, but how come every branch is as sharp as a spear?

And the fruit on this tree, why do I always feel like it is looking at me?

And as Lloyd approached, the plants suddenly began to slowly squirm, and they all turned to look at him.

Lloyd's scalp felt numb for a while, and he felt like his neighbor was raising monsters?

But he still remembered the "Survival Advice" in the freshman handbook, so he wasn't too surprised. He just shook his head and backed away.

Just don’t mess with it...

Then, Lloyd wandered to the door of another neighbor across the road from him.

This villa looks very deserted.

But it's not the kind of desolation without people, but the kind of desolation that sends out a bone-chilling chill...

The overall atmosphere is also very weird, giving people the feeling that there is some kind of ruthless activity hidden inside.

Although on the surface, the style of painting here is similar to the place where he lives, Lloyd always feels that this place does not look like a place where living people live...

On the contrary, it feels very much like the soul-eating haunted houses and cannibal villas described in those horror movies and thriller novels.

Why do the two neighbors who live next to me both look like they have special skills?

I was obviously quite satisfied with this dormitory before, but why were the 'neighbors' next to me like this?

Lloyd couldn't help but complain in his heart. He felt that as a normal young man with mental health, he was incompatible with their painting style, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, I am a day student and will not live here permanently.

Let's go shopping elsewhere...

In the end, Lloyd didn't finish visiting this luxurious dormitory area. He was somewhat afraid of meeting even weirder and more dangerous 'neighbors'.

He touched the beginner's manual in his pocket with inspiration, turned on the [Map] function, and a complete and detailed map of the school appeared in front of him.

But something strange is that this map is not integrated into a whole set like a normal map, but is divided into hundreds of areas. Each area is an independent map, completely different from other areas. There are no roads connecting them.

For example, the area where Lloyd is currently located is marked on the map as the 'honor student dormitory area'. The roads in it are completely closed and there is no way out.

There is only one place marked as an 'entrance' for outsiders to enter and exit.

This... are all these areas independent and different spaces?

Lloyd was slightly surprised by this discovery.

No wonder the Space Department seems to have a detached status here. Is it because the entire academy uses a large number of various space technologies?

Let's go shopping...

Lloyd then found the place marked as the entrance and exit based on the guidance and navigation of the 'mini map' in front of him.

It looks like a street newsstand, but instead of newspapers and books, there is a palm-sized crystal ball on the shelves.

Use inspiration to touch the crystal ball, and a lot of maps will pop up in front of your eyes for Lloyd to choose where to go.

It's amazing, almost like playing a game.

Lloyd sighed in his heart again, and then randomly selected an 'extraordinary school district'.

His vision immediately blurred, the scenery around him changed rapidly, and he soon came to a new area.

After thinking about the style of this place, Lloyd thought that the word 'ivory tower' was the most appropriate way to describe it.

The area here is very vast, with prototype towers standing one after another. Each tower corresponds to a discipline, or a transcendent system.

This kind of tower-style building complex always reminds Lloyd of the 18th District where he is located. It seems that the 18th District over there seems to be deliberately imitating this style? Instead of opting for a more common school building style.

Even the 'autonomous learning' model is just following the trend?

Considering that Tiltus, the presiding judge of District 18, is also an honorary professor of Mizkatok, is it normal for there to be such a similarity?

It's just that the towers here are much taller and more numerous than those in the 18th District, and the surface color is not the brand-new white of the 18th District, but a slightly primitive gray.

This couldn't help but remind Lloyd of his own [thinking field]...

If you put a filter on the picture in front of you and add a little distortion...

No, no! How could I have this unwarranted association?

Lloyd quickly shook his head vigorously and explained to himself in his mind:

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant here, the greening is very good, the environment is elegant and quiet, and you can see a lot of people walking around. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it is dead and panicked.

Well, that’s it!

He forced himself to stop his random thoughts and began to wander around here again, planning to visit the 'Reality' and 'Ancient Magic' departments that he was interested in.

Although I have joined the space department, it won’t violate the school rules, right?

Not long after we left, we met two bright bald heads...

Two bald brothers who had met in a duel before?

"Huh? Aren't you the freshman just now?"

The bald brother with a vicissitudes of life greeted him quickly, and his younger brother also asked:

"Didn't you follow Professor Lawrence? Why are you here again?"

"Is such that……"

Lloyd smiled and briefly explained to the two of them, omitting some details.

Although they did not mention the matter of opening the door, the two bald heads still widened their eyes and asked in unison:

"What? You actually joined the space department?"

Lloyd nodded and replied: "Well, Professor Lawrence said I have a talent in this area."

"This... you are still a freshman. Isn't it against the rules to join the space department directly? Wait, could it be that the aura of fighting just now was Professor Lawrence helping you convince the dean?"

"It seems that's right...I really didn't expect that the legendary Professor Lawrence would actually have a new student who values ​​​​so much? You are really enviable..."

The two bald seniors spoke to each other and looked at Lloyd in different ways.

But they were not so surprised that their cognitive system was shaken. Maybe it was because they were not from the space system, right?

"So you've completed the admissions process now?"

"Yeah, I just walked around and got familiar with it. I just happened to come here. I won't offend anyone, right?"

"That's not the case. Our place is a public area and every student can come and go freely. So since you are here, we will take you around."

The bald brother took the initiative and looked particularly enthusiastic.

His younger brother also quickly followed and said:

"You seem to be from the [veto] system, right? Then why don't you take a look at the [veto] we have here? It may be different from what you encounter outside."

"I'm more interested in your system."

"Haha, is that right? That's right. After all, [ancient magic] is inaccessible from the outside, so let's take you to the place where we usually study and research."

"[Ancient Magic] is relatively rare outside. In Mizkatok, it is a very common subject with a very large number of people. In comparison, your space department is more enviable. Like us two brothers, neither of us had the courage to apply for the exam..."

The bald brother chatted with Lloyd while taking him to the 'Ancient Magic Tower', where the two of them usually hung out.

As soon as Lloyd entered, he felt a large chaotic aura coming towards his face, as if many people were using extraordinary abilities, making the supposedly quiet atmosphere "noisy".

From time to time, I can hear someone shouting:

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Give me power! Gaia!"

"Earth! Fire! Wind! Listen to my orders!"

"Jigujigu, Waibu Waibu!"

"My magic will tear you apart!"

"Free yourself!"

Uh...is this some kind of shame play?

Although Lloyd hasn't seen anyone yet, he feels that this place is particularly popular, which is very different from the space system where everyone is silent.

The two bald heads couldn't help but look embarrassed, and each explained:

"Ahem... It's the holiday now, and everyone is taking the time to practice, hoping to pass the exam or improve their rating before the new school year, so everyone is working hard!"

"Well...those incantations...don't take them seriously. There are actually no fixed incantations for releasing magic. These people are just yelling to help themselves concentrate and mobilize their spiritual power. Well...we won't need to recite them after we become proficient. What a spell."

In order to ease the embarrassment, the bald brother continued to suggest:

"By the way, are you interested in trying your magic talent? It's free. Maybe your talent is outstanding. After graduating from the space department, you can continue your studies in ancient magic?"

"It doesn't matter even if you fail. You are already a member of the space department anyway. Just play around and let you know more about us."

"Okay, just think of it as a long experience."

Lloyd nodded repeatedly.

Two bald heads immediately led Lloyd through a corridor.

Along the way, I also met several students wearing stereotypical mage robes, who greeted the two bald brothers and Lloyd politely and friendly.

However...the hairstyles they chose were all shiny bald heads...

And in terms of body shape, almost all of them are strong men with broad shoulders and round waists.

Just when Lloyd felt something strange, he was led by the two bald brothers to a place that looked like a school infirmary.

The place looks spacious and has a lot of equipment. It has prepared various instruments with a slightly sci-fi style, all of which Lloyd has never seen outside.

There were two people who looked like teachers on duty inside. They wore the same mage robe, the same bald head, the same sturdy figure, and the muscles all over their bodies were almost torn by the mage's robe.

what happened? Is this hairstyle popular here?

Obviously even a skeleton knows how to choose a lush and rich wig for himself!

And why do they all have such a muscular figure? Do you use the full power of the mage?

Is this a mage tower or a monk temple?

Lloyd couldn't help but cursed, and then heard the bald brother negotiating with the two teachers.

"Oh? A new student in the space department? This is a rare creature, let me check it carefully!"

"But he looks so thin, he doesn't have much meat on his body..."

"That's what the space department is like, a bunch of thin dogs and nerds..."

Lloyd could only pretend not to hear, and followed the instructions of the two teachers and came to sit down at a long table.

"Classmate, don't be nervous. I can use my hair to guarantee that you won't be harmed in any way during the process, so you can relax a little, um... take a deep breath, yes, that's it..."

"Please put your hand on this crystal ball, empty your mind as much as possible, and then recite the word 'magic' silently in your heart. We need to see your subconscious understanding of the concept of 'magic', which is very useful for subsequent detection. important……"

"Remember not to make associations and try to clear your mind, otherwise the results will be inaccurate."

The two teachers made some strange requests, and Lloyd had no choice but to pause for a moment, try his best to clear his mind, then silently recited the word "magic" and reached out to touch the crystal ball.

The crystal ball suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light.

"Oh? You have a good talent, right?"

A bald teacher praised quickly.

As a result, the next second, the blue light on the crystal ball suddenly turned into ashes, and then several octopus-like tentacles suddenly emerged from it, twisting and waving rapidly in the air.

　Thanks to the name guy who couldn’t think of a name and tipped Eve Luol 100 points to buy candies.
