I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 366 365. Hot thanks

"Sigh... Sometimes I really don't know whether I should call you smart or stupid..."

Hiltina said helplessly, pinched Lloyd hard, seemed a little unhappy for no reason, and pouted and said:
"You yourself don't want my reward, so forget it..."

Lloyd noticed that she was a little unhappy. He quickly recalled the warm man's quotes in his mind and comforted her:

"It doesn't matter, you have already paid a lot for me, so even if you don't want a reward...ahhhhhh!"

Before the warm man could finish his words, his shoulder was bitten angrily by Hiltina, which made it hurt all the time.

Why are you even more angry?
Hiltina suddenly became fierce and threatened fiercely:
"I never want to talk to you again, unless you kiss me right away."

Lloyd also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly held her face and moved closer...

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it..."

Hiltina's anger seemed to have subsided a little, so she stood up from the sofa, stretched greatly, and then turned back and said:
"Remember to take time to see me after you return to the academy tomorrow. You should break through to the fifth level as soon as possible."

When Lloyd came to the door of the antique shop through the portal, the lazy guy inside suddenly raised his head, stared at him in surprise, and then asked:

"Did Professor Lawrence give you all the antiques he had at the bottom of the box?"

"By the way, what exactly will the drastic changes brought about by the fall of the evil god's descendant you mentioned earlier be like?"

After the dean and his childhood sweetheart promised to fully support him to advance as soon as possible, the materials here no longer have much value to him...

He also thought to himself that his childhood sweetheart was indeed better for him, unlike others who were always rushing to get married and have children.

After saying that, Hiltina stood up and prepared to disappear.

So Lloyd planned to make it clear to the waiter that he might not come often in the future.

After leaving the Veto Sanctuary, Lloyd found a deserted place, opened a portal, and prepared to go to the 'Dream Theater' for the last time.

As for the equipment, it goes without saying. With so many credits, wouldn’t it be better to go to the engineering department and exchange them for giant robots?

"Huh? Do you know Professor Lawrence too?"

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

Lloyd said, opened another portal, went back home first, called the little milk cat, and then returned to the clerk.

As a result, as soon as he entered the Dream Theater, he saw the familiar waiter waiting respectfully at the entrance, bowing slightly towards him.

He then asked a question that he had not had time to say before:

"OK, all right."

The waiter listened quietly, showing neither surprise nor regret. It seemed that he had already guessed the intention of Royd's visit, so he unhurriedly arranged the tea table, tea and refreshments in front of Royd, indicating that he should first He sat down and then said with a smile:

"Uh...wait a moment..."

"Uh... that..."

The same applies to all kinds of knowledge. If I need taboo knowledge, wouldn't it be better to continue archeology with the history department? There is still such a large dangerous area waiting for you to explore.

Lloyd nodded repeatedly.

Hiltina answered decisively, and then briefly explained:
"Even in that glorious era, it was difficult for humans to fight against existences of this level. Although they had repelled their invasions or destroyed their plots, they had also indirectly led to the fall of the three-headed evil god's descendants. , but none of them are as direct as this time...

"I can understand. After all, you are getting closer and closer to greatness now, especially after you have done this feat today, killing a descendant of the evil god. This is a great move that no one has been able to do in the past. .”

Hiltina said, slightly raising her naked feet and giving Lloyd a farewell kiss.

But just the past few times have brought many changes to the world, such as the sudden madness of monsters, the emergence of a large number of abnormal events, the loss of control of sacred objects, the activation of forbidden knowledge, etc. It is difficult to generalize.

"Yeah, I understand."

"Okay, okay, it seems that I really underestimated you before..."

Lloyd was not so obsessed with Gentleness, but had a greater sense of urgency than Hildina. He nodded vigorously, stood up, and said:
"I will definitely work harder to help you share these things as soon as possible."

"do not know."

"Well...I'll look forward to that day."

The guy said, and spread his hand from Lloyd, motioning to hand over the little milk cat.

Looking at the other party's expression again, it turns out that the previous surprise turned into shock.

The waiter said angrily, and then immediately changed to a cheerful smile, holding the little milk cat that Lloyd took over with both hands, and hurriedly took out the dried fish and canned cat, acting more like a master than Lloyd.

Obviously, Dream Theater continued to need no notification from others, and also learned about the death of a descendant of the evil god through some means.

"Have you mastered space to this extent?"

But he was distracted by this and did not continue to ask why Lloyd was so skilled.

Lloyd thought about his words and expressed his intention in a rather subtle way.

"Dear newbies, we have been waiting for a long time and can't wait to recommend our latest gameplay to you."

Lloyd, who never talked to the senior, quietly went to the second floor.

"Otherwise? How do you think I fished out the big truck last time?"

"Slightly successful."

We need to continue to observe what will change specifically, so I originally planned to spend more time with you today, but there are some things that I still need to perform. "

Lloyd was not surprised that they were well-informed, but he quickly explained modestly:

"No, no, these are all functions of Mizkatok. Although I played a key role in it, the power is contributed by everyone."

These words made the waiter, who had always had a very dog-like attitude, stop talking...

After being embarrassed for two or three seconds, he forced himself to say:
"But no matter what, every step you take is proving your potential and our vision. So even if you have already expressed your stance, please allow me to try to retain you, because you, or the future, You are very important to us.”

Lloyd smiled helplessly and replied:

"This... thank you for your compliment, but to be honest, I don't know what the 'greatness' in your mouth specifically refers to. A saint? Or a supreme being? But no matter which one it is, I am far from being fashionable now. Morning, so you don’t have to do this to me at this stage.”

"'Great' is a very complex word that does not have a standard interpretation. Just like an ordinary mother, her children can also be called great, and you, even at this stage, are The same is true for us...

Although we cannot disclose our intentions to you in detail yet, you may wish to understand that from the beginning, we are here to serve the great being. This is our responsibility and value. We urgently need the recognition and recognition from the great being. accept.

So as you can see, we are always eager to help human beings become stronger, hoping to reborn the so-called saints, or supreme beings, or even truly great people. "

Although the waiter's statement omitted some details, it was more or less a 'showdown' with Lloyd and answered the doubts that had troubled him for a long time.

But it also leads to another question:
"But whether I am the person you need or not, if you want me to recognize you, you don't need to keep playing games, right?"

But the waiter answered the question very well with some rhetorical questions:

"Why do you think so? Isn't the greatest recognition for a game a mobile game?"

What he said makes sense, I don’t even know how to refute it...

Lloyd couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

Seeing that the other party was silent for a while, the waiter struck while the iron was hot, took out a box like magic, handed it to Lloyd, and then opened the box for him.

Lying in the box was a dark, seemingly nothing special stick, like a fire stick picked up from somewhere.

But the "Book of Truth" in Lloyd's mind actually reacted, began to turn slowly, and then presented a brand new page.

It records the appearance of the stick, and then adds a text description:
[Code name:? ? ? ? Its name is: The Broken Scepter]

[Description: An ancient relic that has been damaged and ineffective. It once had a glorious past and supreme power. Now it has been renamed [The Almighty Spin Stick]. It may become completely silent, or there may be a slight possibility of being reshaped. It’s brilliant, but even in its current state, it’s enough to be used as a weapon]

Lloyd also didn't expect that the "Book of Truth" would actually give such an 'identification result'.

Is this considered high or low?

But no matter what, this is far from Lloyd's ideal [Almighty Spin Stick].

"I accidentally noticed that you have a special interest in this thing, so my colleagues suggested that I give it to you as a thank you gift."

The waiter explained with a smile and specially added:
"Of course, this is not in exchange for your promise, but just to thank you for helping us get rid of that dangerous existence. He has been secretly coveting us for a long time, and has attempted several attacks...

Although we can still resist for the time being, there is nothing we can do about Him, and your feat today has eliminated a key hidden danger for us. "Lloyd didn't expect that there was such a story behind it, so he quickly asked:

"Ah? Have you also been attacked by the descendant of the evil god here?"

"Of course, in fact, even in that glorious era, there were many strong people who were very interested in us. The one you killed today was one of them. It was just because we had been recognized by several great beings in the past. He was Didn't succeed...

And when the world changed dramatically, He, who had completely fallen into madness, still refused to let us go. We paid a heavy price in order to deal with Him. "

As the waiter spoke, he showed a regretful expression and added:

"The cost is of course not only material, but also includes many outstanding players."

After hearing this explanation, Lloyd finally understood why this ghost place was so generous, allowing people to play games in exchange for various transcendental materials.

So it turns out that these people are needed to deal with a descendant of the evil god?

Maybe it’s not just a descendant of the evil god?

It's also a credit to the fact that I haven't come often enough and haven't tied up with them in depth, otherwise I might not know when it will be my turn to fight in the lane.

And they urgently need the recognition of some great person. In fact, they just want to find a strong backer, right?

Sure enough, no one in this world would be nice to me for no reason, except for my sister...

After Lloyd gradually figured out the intention of this place, he asked the last question:
"Your place... seems very tempting? Whether it's for ordinary transcendents or those messy things."

"Of course, it was the same even in the glorious past. According to our records, the top [Brilliant Gold] have had at least 300 conflicts in the past in order to compete for our control and ownership. , varying in scale and intensity.”

The waiter said with a bit of pride.

Why does this sound so teasing?

Lloyd couldn't help but cursed.

However, from a rational point of view, this place has such a strong attraction to [Bright Gold], which shows that its value is definitely not as simple as this exchange material on the surface...

This made Lloyd think deeply for a while, weighing whether to cut off from this place.

Through this chat, the waiter basically made it clear that there is no real worship, it is a very direct exchange of interests. The player is provided with resources, and the player needs to protect the safety of the place.

Of course, there must be some details that the waiter did not tell. Lloyd has reason to suspect that what they can get from players or great people must not only be simple security, but also involve other things.

Otherwise, what is the need to attract ordinary players on the first floor?

It's just that the waiter will definitely not explain the reason behind this honestly...

Lloyd didn't ask further questions. Anyway, the other party had already made a clear exchange of interests.

He doesn't hate it, it's simple, direct and pure, and it's much better than those beautiful words.

Considering that the fire stick is indeed extraordinary; considering the [Brilliant Gold] and the strong interest of the Evil God's descendants in this place, it proves that the real value of this place is indeed high; and both sides can be regarded as the same front against the Evil God's descendants...

After weighing it, Lloyd first reached out and grabbed the black fire stick in front of him.

When the waiter saw this, his face suddenly lit up and he was about to say something, but Lloyd clarified first:

"Accepting it doesn't mean I will come often. After all, the things on your redemption list..."

There was no need to speak too clearly, the waiter could understand what Lloyd meant, so he smiled and explained:
"I understand, but please rest assured that we can't only provide those things on the list... After you advance to the fifth level, you may wish to come back and have a look. We will definitely prove our worth to you."

These words were regarded as some kind of concession by the other party, saying that Lloyd did not need to come often during this period, but he must come back to see him.

"Okay, I accept it."

Only then did Lloyd put the hot fire stick into his pocket.

This thing is said to be a thank you gift, but in fact it is not that easy to get. If it were not for the appraisal made by the "Book of Truth", Lloyd would definitely not want it.

After getting the things, Lloyd had no intention of continuing to play games, so he decisively rejected the waiter's invitation, said goodbye and left, then ran to the first floor to pick up the kitten.

Before I even finished walking up the stairs, I heard the guy at the front desk cheering happily:

"Haha! It worked! It happened in one go! Your talent is really great, much better than your rookie master. You fool around with him every day. It's a waste of your talent. You might as well follow me..."

Um? This guy actually wants to abduct his own little kitten?

Then I’m afraid this schoolmate will have nothing to do!

Lloyd quickly jumped down the stairs, trying to snatch the little milk cat back.

But immediately I heard the little milk cat’s obviously unhappy cry:

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!"

"Oh...Okay, okay, I know, I know, if I don't say bad things about him...really, why can't I pick up such a cute and well-behaved kitten like you?"

How can a little kitten be so reliable?

It’s really worth it that I’m usually so nice to it.

Lloyd felt relieved and slowed down his pace again, walking to the counter proudly.

Then he looked down and saw that his little kitten had turned into a piece of cake.
Strictly speaking, there is an extra layer of cake-like shell on the surface, and then a hole is exposed, and a furry head pokes out from inside, waving its little paws from itself.

"How did it become like this?"

Lloyd curiously reached out and touched the surface of the cake shell. Although it felt very soft, like a mixture of cream and strawberry jam, it seemed to be extremely tough and would be difficult to cut with a knife.

It's definitely hard to eat, I keep biting.

This made Lloyd feel a little regretful.

The waiter on the side said equally proudly:
"Humph, ancient magic is amazing, isn't it? Although it's just a simple self-defense trick, it can be learned very quickly. It was learned after being taught it twice."

"But it's obviously just a little kitten? It doesn't have [Enlightenment] or anything, so why can it learn ancient magic?"

Lloyd asked curiously as he stretched out his hand to rub the little cat's exposed head.

"Haha, it seems that you don't understand at all. Putting aside the ability to accept and understand knowledge, cats are obviously more talented in magic than humans. Little tricks like this can be mastered without enlightenment.

It's just that you don't teach it these things at all, but you only know how to teach it to exercise? Do you want to train him to become that kind of bald and reckless man? Do you still have a little space elegance and pride? "

Lloyd was inexplicably scolded, and he immediately fought back unceremoniously and asked:
"Do you have one?"

As he said that, he took another look at the other party's clothing, and then looked around at the empty counter, implying that the other party was just a janitor.

Unexpectedly, the lethality of this move was much greater than he expected. The man was so frightened that he immediately shouted excitedly:
"You...what do you know? I just want to prove myself!"

Lloyd suddenly became warm-hearted when he saw the other party, and seeing that everyone was an alumnus, he quickly apologized:

"Okay, okay, I understand, I'm sorry, I was joking."

I definitely didn’t say that because I might not be able to beat the opponent...

But I originally planned to ask him more about the Dream Theater.

But the guy became weak like a frustrated rubber ball, and just shook his head helplessly.

"Oh... forget it, you don't understand. A guy like you who was a top student as soon as he entered school doesn't understand anything."

Lloyd also didn't expect that this guy who looked quite powerful would actually break through his defense just because of his words?
It feels like this guy also has a story, right?

It's a pity that the conversation can no longer go on...

But it doesn’t matter. There are only so many people in the space department. Just go back and ask Professor Lawrence.

Lloyd thought about it in his mind and prepared to leave with the little milk cat.

The little cat let out a puff of smoke and returned to its original appearance with a 'pop' sound. Then it came close to the man and meowed, as if to comfort him.

The waiter smiled reluctantly and waved his hand:

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm just a frustrated loser. I'm not as high-spirited as your master... Let's go. Just remember to practice the few tricks I taught you when you have time."

The little cat nodded obediently, then followed Lloyd's arm and got into his pocket.
