I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 337 336. A legacy dropped from the sky?

ah? Are you really leaving now? Going in such a hurry?

Lloyd froze on the spot, watching helplessly as his beautiful and lovely 'childhood sweetheart' turned back into a shadowless [projection], leaving him alone sitting on a bench in the square at night. When the wind blew, it was inevitable that he would feel empty, lonely and cold.

Could it be that the questions he raised were too serious? Ruined the mood of the date?

Or is she really so busy and something really happened?

Obviously there are still a lot of questions I want to ask...

Maybe this is the way a saint behaves?

Lloyd had no choice but to take out his pocket watch and check the time on both sides, thinking that he might as well return to the present world as soon as possible.

He went back to the dormitory to call the little cat, and happened to see the little cat waving goodbye to the little pig at the door, and then the little pig rolled into the next dormitory like a yo-yo.

The courtyard of that house was filled with all kinds of exotic plants. It was like a dormitory like the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. At this time, some dark cold lights were also lit up. It looked particularly penetrating. I couldn’t imagine what kind of things would live inside. biology……

"Okay, let's go home."

Lloyd said, picked up the little kitten, opened a portal, returned to his office in the real world, and then quickly took out the synchronized hourglass to adjust the time difference.

It was not yet dusk outside, so it felt like we were going back in time.

After pausing for a while, Lloyd tried to reach out his hand again to see if he could open a portal.

I haven’t seen Wei Ya for many days, I miss her so much...

"Xiaoyi? Did something happen?"

I also have a very strange feeling in my heart, as if the distance between me and Lloyd has become farther inexplicably. We have just met each other in the morning, but it feels like we haven't seen him for a long time?

But Lloyd clearly remembered that when he was in the 'rescue cabin', close to the real world, 'looking back' at the storm, they were almost motionless, not as active as they are now.

There was still a bit of blush on Evelor's face that hadn't faded away in time. She looked at Lloyd eagerly and asked in confusion.

"I just completed a trivial thing..."

"Well, it's confirmed, she is indeed my sister."

The stability of space in this world is much stronger than that of the alien space where the academy is located. It is definitely unrealistic to open the portal with bare hands.

As for the 'rescue cabin' that was still under his control, he guided it to float towards his position in space, and then roughly estimated its speed.

After making these arrangements, Lloyd can enjoy the three-day holiday with peace of mind.

But Lloyd has not yet figured out how to use this half of the canteen. At present, it can only be used to hide the things under the bed to avoid being discovered by his sister...

"Eh? Xiaoyi? What happened to you today?"

And because of the time speed difference, it looks very fast.

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

After a while, the two of them reluctantly separated. Then Wei Ya lifted up her messy ear hair, revealing a slightly flushed side face, and asked again:

"How was studying there at Mizkatok? Is there anything you can tell me?"

"Eh? Lloyd? What are you doing...this is an office..."

Now Lloyd finally understood why such a strange-looking rule was set up alone...

In addition, Lloyd felt that his [Space Control] skill was greatly restricted due to the solid stability of this layer. Some fancy operations were barely possible, but the effect was definitely not as good as in a different space.

Lloyd felt unhappy for a while.

This is a cheating school rule. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must find a way to change it!

But using a space pocket watch to open the door should not be a big problem, just like using a brooch before.

Moreover, Wei Ya can't just disappear from her eyes, right?

In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, why he went home to check on his sister after meeting the Veto Saint.

Is there a 'time speed bump' between the different space where the college is located and the present world? Or 'time isolation zone'? Is the time speed difference between the two sides caused by this area?

Lloyd made a bold guess in his mind.

You may need the assistance of more equipment, or you may need to wait until your skill level is higher before you can be as casual as you are in the academy.

By tomorrow morning, it should be able to float to the space of your home. After that, if you deploy a portal, there will be half an extra space canteen in your room.

It really doesn't work...

Wei Ya said in a low voice, but her body was honest and she hugged Lloyd tightly, greedily enjoying the warmth of her lover.

Lloyd used the school rules that he still disliked as a cover to cover up his guilty conscience.

Lloyd was about to share it with Wei Ya, but the student handbook started vibrating first, reminding him not to violate school rules.

Lloyd finally said, relieved.

From time to time, I would secretly glance under the table and watch Everol's little feet wrapped in thick white stockings, like ice cream, swaying back and forth leisurely.

Lloyd simply felt the changes in the space environment, and then used the marks he had buried before to look at the static storm trapped in the three school districts.

Because there is no spatial anchor for positioning, they are still the same as before, floating aimlessly in random directions with the three school districts. The general direction is in the direction of Lloyd's guidance and interference, towards the danger zone. .

Then he suddenly thought of something. After Everol finished eating, he picked up his sister and inspected her again and again, pinching her face and feet from time to time.

Evelor looked at her brother who was acting weird in front of her and asked in confusion, but she didn't resist. She let Lloyd hug her and turn around, as if he was checking whether he had been tricked.

After a brief date with Weiya for a while, Lloyd returned home in time and brought dinner to his sister. However, he definitely couldn't eat it himself, so he could only sit at the dining table and watch his sister take small bites. Eat carefully, like a cute little squirrel.

"It's nothing, I just encountered something special today, but I can't tell you due to school rules. It's not important anyway."

But this kind of question is destined to be nothing more than a mere distraction. [Time] is obviously a more profound and obscure field than [Space]. There is not even a corresponding subject in Mizkatok.

He immediately ran to find Wei Ya, and when they met, they gave her a tight hug.

So Lloyd didn't think too much, just kept this discovery in mind, and then continued to let the 'Storm School District' float towards the danger zone according to the original route, so as not to cause some unnecessary disaster when he was not in the academy. Secondary injury'.

Then the student handbook began to vibrate more violently, reminding him not to violate the last article of the school rules-it is prohibited to modify the school rules.

"Is that so? As long as it's okay... By the way, sister has some news for you."

Everol said, without even bothering to put on her shoes, she let her white silk jade feet step on the floor, thumped and ran to get her bag, and then took out a letter from it.

"Xiaoyi, do you remember Uncle Yule when you were a child? The one who used to give us oysters."

"I remember, but this person..."

Lloyd was hesitant to speak, then considered his words, and said as implicitly as possible:

"The impression is a bit blurry. He hasn't had any contact with us for a long time, right?"

In fact, Lloyd's mind is more 'precocious' than Eve's, so he still has a clear impression of his childhood relatives and so on.

His father's name in another world is Rons, and his mother's name is Evelina. Both sides have many relatives and sisters, but they are not here in the Brilliant City, but live in other cities.

They don’t have any great family backgrounds, they are all ordinary beings. Even his father, Rons, came to the Brilliant City to look for opportunities because he didn’t do well in his hometown. That’s how he met his mother. , settled here successfully. Later, a time traveler son was conceived, and an Everol was picked up again, thus forming a harmonious and happy family of four.

But the family's financial situation at that time was actually quite average. Both parents were ordinary working-class people. In order to buy the home they lived in at the time, they were burdened with a heavy mortgage loan. They had to work hard and had little contact with relatives who lived in different places.

Later, after the two people were killed, the family was unable to repay the loan, and the house was brutally confiscated by the bank. This led to Lloyd and Everoll being sent to an orphanage.

In fact, the orphanage tried to contact other relatives to come and adopt the two children, but all the letters they sent came to nothing and did not receive any response.

Among them was Uncle Yule, who used to visit often.

He was the cousin of his father, Rons. In Lloyd's eyes, he had always been a loser. He made a living by cutting oysters for people on the dock, so he often came to the house for meals and received a lot of support from his family.

Later, I don’t know if I offended someone or owed a gambling debt, but suddenly I thought about running a ship and becoming a sailor, saying that I could make a lot of money. Then I borrowed some money from my parents and disappeared.

Now, so many years have passed, and the Lloyd siblings have gone through the most difficult time, and have never received any contact from relatives, nor have they taken the initiative to contact those relatives. There is nothing wrong with everyone forgetting each other.

Anyway, a time traveler, someone picked up...

So Lloyd couldn't say he resented the indifference of those relatives. After all, his parents didn't have much contact when they were still alive. It was obviously too much to expect others to take over.

But he was very unhappy with Uncle Yule, who liked to come to his house for dinner. He didn't even say a word of greeting to himself and his sister. How could he still have the nerve to write a letter now?

Moreover, where did he get his current contact address?

Lloyd was a little confused, so he asked Everol what the letter was about.

"This was sent directly to our editorial office."

Everol said, returned to the sofa, handed the letter to Lloyd, and leaned next to Lloyd, holding a magazine and flipping through it.

Although the expression on her face looked quite calm, her little white feet hanging on the armrest of the sofa were still swaying from side to side, revealing that she was actually in a good mood.

Are you so happy to receive such a letter from a relative who should have been forgotten?

Alas...my sister is still too kind and too emotional...

Lloyd cursed a few words in his heart, opened the letter and read it, and then he understood why his sister was happy——

The handwriting on the letter is beautiful, the writing is smooth, and the words are elegant and precise. Even the letter paper is of a good hand feel. It doesn't look like it could be written by Uncle Jules, the oyster seller.

In the content, he first apologized for the sudden interruption by the letter, and then said that he was eager to find the orphan of his cousin's family. He saw Yverol's name in a magazine, so he took the liberty to write to inquire.

Then he revealed his identity, mentioned Royd's parents, Rons and Evelina, and said that after many years of boating career and experiencing various dangers and hardships, he had accumulated a fortune, but But he has no relatives around him, so he desperately wants to find his cousin's orphan.

Finally, he explained that he had become sick from overwork when he was a sailor and his health was already very poor, so he could not come to the door in person. If the person who received the letter was really the relative he was looking for, he would invite him to his luxurious manor for a reunion, and Preferably within three days.

Even this letter was not written by himself, but ghostwritten by his butler.

Anyway, after reading this letter, Lloyd couldn't help but think of the scenario of 'a lonely rich man eager to find an heir to his inheritance'.

Although the letter did not directly say, "If you are critically ill, come and collect your inheritance as soon as possible," the various explicit hints inside and outside the words can make people think of this kind of plot.

Lloyd couldn't help but glance at the magazine in Everol's hand. It was actually about financial management...

Considering her always cheerful and active imagination, she has probably already planned how to spend her inheritance, right?

It's just that it's a legacy after all, so it's not convenient to show too much excitement, right?

Noticing that after Lloyd read the letter, Everol raised her head slightly and asked:

"Xiaoyi, do you think we should go take a look? After all, Uncle Yule may be the only relative we can find."

"Well..."

Lloyd was a little hesitant and didn't answer in a hurry.

According to his true thoughts, he would definitely not go. The location of the manor is quite far away. It is at the junction of the Eternal City and the City of Order. If you go there by airship, you will waste several days going back and forth.

However, Lloyd was able to open the portal. It happened that after dating Wei Ya earlier, he took three days off from her. The plan was to take a good rest and spend time with his sister, so there was no problem in terms of time and schedule.

But the problem is, am I not short of money now?

My whole life, I have been walking on thin ice. The achievements I have today are all due to my own hard work and hard work. I have always been an upright young man who regards money as something external to me. I have never succumbed to those yellow and white things!

What's more, I also have a prospective girlfriend who is a rich little girl who kills pigs at home, a childhood sweetheart who controls a city, and a girlfriend who has just completed a class jump.

Do I, Lloyd, seem to be short of money?

It's just... I don't seem to have set up any image of a handsome young man who doesn't want to work hard, right?

Then why not go take a look? Just think of it as a way to see if this relative who was cheating on you at the time has really become successful?

No matter what the inheritance says, just think of it as taking your sister out for a trip to relax, which is pretty good.

Lloyd was originally going to nod and agree, but when he glanced at the letter again, he felt that something was not quite right?

If this happened on Earth, he would definitely have jumped on the plane, but in today's era, one has to be more careful about such a good thing like pie-in-the-sky...

Lloyd had not yet made a decision in a hurry, but Everol noticed his hesitation, quickly shook his arm, and said in a coquettish tone:

"Xiao Yi, let's go take a look? If there is really any inheritance, you won't have to worry about getting married and buying a house in the future."

Uh... Even if I really have some inheritance, if I want to marry the three people around me, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a set or a house, right? Then the inheritance must be very, very, very rich, right?

Lloyd thought wildly in his mind. He originally wanted to weigh the pros and cons with his sister, but when he saw the expectation that was about to overflow in those emerald green eyes, he couldn't say anything.

He couldn't help but think that wasn't it because he and his sister were living on the streets because they couldn't repay the mortgage?

Maybe even though my sister doesn't mention it much, she still thinks real estate is very important in her heart, so she often talks about 'saving money to buy a house'...

So there was no way Lloyd could refuse, so he could only nodded and said:

"Well, even if there is no inheritance, it would be nice for us to go over and have some fun."

"Okay! I knew Xiaoyi was the best!"

Only then did Everol release the joy in her heart and laughed happily.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Lloyd hurried over to answer the door, thinking it was a neighbor, but it turned out that standing outside the door was a young man in his thirties, whose facial features looked vaguely familiar.

He is dressed in a standard gentleman's attire. Judging from the details such as his clothes, bracelet, monocle, etc., he is probably worth a lot of money, and he has a vague aristocratic temperament. He also exudes some power fluctuations, and he is obviously an extraordinary person. .

"Hello, Lord Lloyd, I am Olga from the City of Illusion, or you can call me little Olga."

The other party took the initiative to introduce himself, and then extended his right hand.

Lloyd shook hands with the other party politely, and then asked:

"I don't know if the Olga you are familiar with is..."

"That is my father, and it is for the agreement between you and him that I came here."

Only then did Lloyd remember that he had not yet replied to the two seventh-level bosses of the [Embodiment] system, just to help them attend the next [Transcendence] ceremony.

"Sorry, there are a lot of things going on at this time, so I didn't have time to reply... Please come in first, and we'll sit down and talk."
