I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 366 365. Hot thanks

"Sigh... Sometimes I really don't know whether to 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."

"Yeah, okay."

Lloyd nodded repeatedly.

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.

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

"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?"

"have no idea."

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 as direct as this time...

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.

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. "

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

"Yeah, I understand."

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."

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

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

……………………

After leaving the Veto Sanctuary, Lloyd found a deserted place, opened a portal, and prepared for his final trip to the 'Dream Theater'.

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...

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.

As for the equipment, needless to say, I have so many credits, wouldn’t I trade them with the engineering department for a giant robot?

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

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

"Have you mastered space to this extent?"

"Slightly successful."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Huh? Do you know Professor Lawrence too?"

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

"Uh...that..."

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

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:

"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. ”

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.

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 been bothering 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 Reality" 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's 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 resist it for the time being, there is nothing we can do about it, 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:

"Of course the cost is 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 these people are needed to deal with an evil god's offspring?

Maybe it's not just the evil god's offspring?

Fortunately, I haven't come here many times and haven't been deeply tied to them, otherwise it might be my turn to go against them.

And they urgently need the recognition of some great man, in fact, they just want to find a powerful backer, right?

Sure enough, no one in this world will be good 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 extraordinary people or those messy things."

"Of course, even in the glorious era of the past, according to our records, in the past, in order to compete for our control and ownership, those top [Brilliant Gold] had at least 300 conflicts, with varying scales and intensities."

The waiter said with a little pride.

Why does this sound so tea?

Lloyd couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, from a rational point of view, this place is so attractive to [Brilliant Gold], which means that its value is definitely not as simple as the exchange materials on the surface...

This made Lloyd fall into deep thought for a while, weighing whether to cut ties with this place.

Through this conversation, the waiter basically made it clear that there was no real worship, but a very direct exchange of interests. This place provides resources to players, and players need to protect the safety of this place.

Of course, there must be some details that the waiter did not say. Lloyd has reason to suspect that what they can get from players or great people is definitely not just simple security guarantees, but also involves other things.

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

It's just that the waiter will definitely not be honest about the reason behind this...

Lloyd did not ask any more questions, anyway, the other party has already made a very clear gesture of exchanging interests.

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

Considering that the fire stick is indeed extraordinary; considering the strong interest of [Brilliant Gold] and the descendants of the evil god in this place, it proves that the true value of this place is indeed not cheap; and the two sides are tentatively on the same front against the descendants of the evil god...

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

The waiter saw this and immediately showed joy on his face. He was about to say something, but Lloyd clarified first:

"Accepting does not mean that I will come often. After all, the things on your exchange list..."

There is no need to make the words too clear. The waiter can also understand what Lloyd means. He smiled and explained:

"I understand, but please rest assured that we can not only provide those things on the list... After you are promoted to the fifth level, you may as well come back and take a look. We will definitely prove our value to you."

This statement is considered a concession from the other party, indicating that Lloyd does not need to come often during this period, but must come back to take a look.

"Okay, I accept it."

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

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

After getting the thing, Lloyd didn't want to continue playing games. He decisively rejected the waiter's invitation, said goodbye and left, and ran to the first floor to pick up the kitten.

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

"Haha! Success! It succeeded in one go! Your talent is really great, much better than your rookie master. You follow him around every day, which is really a waste of your talent. You might as well follow me..."

Huh? This guy actually wants to seduce his kitten?

Then this schoolmate is probably done!

Lloyd quickly jumped down the stairs in a few steps, trying to get the kitten back.

But immediately, the kitten cried out in obvious displeasure:

"Meow! Meow!"

"Oh... OK, OK, OK, I know, I won't say bad things about him, but... Really, why can't I pick up such a cute and well-behaved kitten like you?"

The kitten is so reliable?

It's worth my usual kindness to it.

Lloyd felt relieved, so he slowed down his pace again and walked to the counter complacently.

Then he looked down and found that his kitten had turned into a piece of cake.

Strictly speaking, there was an extra layer of cake-like crust on the surface, and then a hole was exposed, and a furry head poked out from it, waving its little paws at him.

"Why did it become like this?"

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

It would definitely be even worse to eat, and it would be hard to bite.

This made Lloyd feel a little regretful.

The guy next to him was equally complacent and said:

"Hehe, ancient magic, isn't it amazing? Although it's just a simple self-defense trick, it learns very quickly and learned it after two teachings."

"But it's just a little kitten? It hasn't even been [enlightened] or anything, so how can it learn ancient magic?"

Lloyd asked curiously while rubbing the kitten'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. Tricks like this can be mastered without enlightenment.

But you don't teach it these things at all. You only know how to teach it to exercise? Do you want to train it into a bald and reckless man? Do you still have any elegance and pride in the space system?"

Lloyd was inexplicably rebuked, and immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, asking:

"Do you have it?"

As he said, he looked at the other party's dress again, and then looked around the empty counter, suggesting that the other party was just a doorman.

Unexpectedly, the lethality of this move was much greater than he expected, and it broke the guy's defense in an instant, and he shouted excitedly:

"You...what do you know? I just want to prove myself!"

Lloyd saw that the other party's face suddenly turned red, and considering that they were all alumni, he quickly apologized:

"Okay, okay, I know, sorry, I was joking."

It was definitely not because he might not be able to beat the other party that he said this...

But he originally planned to ask him more about the situation of the Dream Theater.

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

"Alas...Forget it, you don't understand, a guy like you who was an excellent student when you entered school, you don't know anything."

Lloyd didn't expect that this guy who looked quite powerful would break his defense because of his words?

It feels like this guy has a story too?

It's a pity that the conversation can't continue...

But it doesn't matter, there are only so many people in the Space Department, can't I go back and ask Professor Lawrence?

Lloyd made up his mind and prepared to take the kitten away.

A puff of smoke rose from the kitten's body, and it returned to its original appearance with a bang. Then it came to the side of the clerk, meowing as if to comfort him.

The clerk smiled reluctantly and waved his hand:

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

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