I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 531 531. Isn’t that too disrespectful?

Although the situation of the ceremony has undergone some unexpected changes, there is a saying that goes well, you can't drive people away after they come, right?

That would be too disrespectful to Big Brother...

It's just that as a somewhat lonely social terrorist, it was obviously more difficult for Lloyd to greet these unknown guests than it was for him to face the children of the evil god, so he could only let these guests do what they wanted.

Fortunately, Big Brother's preparations in other aspects were very thoughtful. The venue was well decorated and there was no shortage of waiters. Not to mention that Big Brother was personally involved, and all kinds of drinks, drinks and pastries were already prepared. Lloyd needs to serve tea and water by himself.

So he simply found a relatively remote corner and sat alone, hoping that Wei Ya and Professor Lawrence would come over soon.

However……

Anyone who would arrive so early is naturally an extremely powerful 'social terrorist' element. Even if Lloyd didn't take the initiative to greet him, others would greet him in turn.

So after just staying quietly in the corner for a while, Lloyd collected several business cards.

Fortunately, these people seem to have misunderstood something. They may think that Big Brother is the protagonist, and Lloyd is just a junior brought to see the world, so they basically revolve around Big Brother, which does not put too much burden on Lloyd. Basically just say hello, get acquainted, and act like you're on point.

This actually made Lloyd relieved.

Otherwise, he really doesn’t know what to talk about with these people who talk about financial investment risks...

Why haven’t Wei Ya and Professor Lawrence arrived yet?

However, Lloyd couldn't be quiet for long. Soon three more people arrived one after another, and then they came straight to find Lloyd.

"He is really an S-class top student. It seems that Professor Demani did not lie to us. Nice to meet you! We are members of the Brilliant City Alumni Association. It is an honor to meet you, Lloyd."

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, noticing the graduate lapels pinned to their lapels, and then remembered that his eldest brother was also an honorary professor of Mizkatok, and the original recommendation letter also had his signature.

It's not surprising that he would invite people from the alumni association to come over today.

Lloyd's mood suddenly relaxed, and he finally had someone he could talk to.

It just so happened that he also wanted to inquire about something.

He enthusiastically invited these students to sit down, asked the waiter to bring tea, and then put out a soundproof device, and everyone started chatting with each other.

After introducing themselves to each other, Lloyd secretly used [Probe] and took a brief look at the situation of the three classmates.

Different from the situation at the Alumni Association in Quiet City, that is, Master Linde and his friends, the three students who came today are all of high rank.

And judging from their self-introductions, they all graduated from at least two courses, and they were not the kind of well-connected bastards like Lindsay.

Maybe it’s because you haven’t been able to improve your grades, or you don’t want to devote yourself to academia, so you chose to graduate?

After graduation, the three of them should be doing very well. They all have their own private associations and investigation teams, and they should be considered the best among the graduates.

Of course, the three of them still admired Lloyd's golden collar pin very highly, and had unabashed respect and reverence for Lloyd's attitude.

Especially after they heard that Royd was still from the space department, two people wanted Royd to work in their association and investigation team on the spot. They would receive a high salary and benefits every month. They didn't need to do anything but work in their organization. Just help me at a critical moment.

How could Lloyd have the time to do this? He must have politely refused.

So after some pleasantries and compliments, Lloyd gradually led the question to his curious question:

“You must have heard of ‘Dream Theater’, right?”

"Haha, I'm a regular visitor there. What's wrong? You want to go in and have fun too?"

A classmate with a simple and honest face, probably a higher rank than the fifth level, answered.

"I've been in there, and the main thing I'm curious about is the guy guarding the door. You must have seen him too, right?"

Lloyd asked further.

A rich classmate next to him who was well-dressed and seemed to have a well-off family replied:

"You are referring to... the lazy one who seems to be dozing off all the time? I have been in contact with him twice and I feel that this person is not easy to get along with, but he seems to be very strong? I am afraid he is also a high-ranking person. ?”

"He is also a person from Mizkatok, but you don't seem to know him very well?"

Lloyd continued to ask.

The three students present shook their heads and said that they had never come into contact with this person in the alumni association.

It seems like this guy is really talkative...

"This is a bit strange. Generally speaking, those who graduate from the college will not exclude the alumni association, but this one..."

"Forget it, just leave him alone. I have another thing I want to ask about, about the abandoned city area..."

Lloyd asked again.

He had never forgotten about the abandoned city, and always felt that there seemed to be something there. As a result, Hiltina, as the owner of the place, didn't pay much attention to it, so Lloyd had to go and inquire on his own.

There is no way, the Brilliant City can be regarded as Hiltina's family property to a certain extent, and it will also be her own family property in the future, so she still has to pay attention.

As soon as Lloyd mentioned the abandoned city area, the three students next to him became a little interested and said that they had a lot of stories.

The first thing to talk about was the hunting down of the traitor...

The rich classmate was the first to speak:

"Although this incident is a shame for our alumni association, the situation at that time was really strange. Our people, together with the students from the City of Illusion, had a total of fifteen people, including a seventh-level and two sixth-level leaders, and the weakest was me, a fourth-level...

But even so, the traitor still escaped, causing everyone to lose face for a while..."

After hearing this, Lloyd felt ashamed, not to mention the person involved.

The configuration proposed by the rich classmate was luxurious. The fifteen people were at least fourth-level extraordinary people, and they were trained by Mizzkatok. If they were put into the great development, they would definitely be the main force.

As a result, they hunted down a traitor who was only fifth-level, and he escaped?

This is indeed a bit embarrassing...

But Lloyd has no room to laugh at others. That guy also slipped away from his hands. In the end, it was Professor Latio from the medical team who took action to solve it...

Although there are many coincidences in various aspects, as a fifth-level traitor, this guy's "record" is somewhat outrageous.

On the other hand, another traitor who is known as the strongest eighth-level traitor, but he couldn't get out of the Brilliant City.

"So you all went there at that time? How could he escape?"

Lloyd continued to ask.

"Alas...To be honest, I'm a little...can't remember..."

The last student with a slightly round figure and a slightly protruding belly answered.

Although this person has failed in body management, his rank is the highest among the three, the sixth rank, which seems particularly strange.

The sixth rank can definitely change the life form, there is no problem of not managing weight and body shape well, it can only be intentional.

Most likely it was caused by his [Ancient Mage] system...

Lloyd complained in his heart, but continued to ask the main question:

"What does it mean to not remember clearly?"

"It means that the memory is blurred in the literal sense, as if it has been disturbed by something, but it is not affected by [forgetfulness], because we still remember the general process, and we are not clear about the specific details."

The honest-looking classmate answered.

The rich classmate next to him also said:

"Yes, so after the operation, when we gathered together to summarize our experience, we speculated that it might not be a problem with memory, but that our perception at that time was interfered by some unknown interference. It's not that we can't remember clearly, but that what we saw at that time was such a blurry and hazy picture."

The fat classmate at the end also added:

"Yes, the students from the City of Illusion also said so. Among them, the seventh-level student even thought that we might have mistakenly entered a different space or a natural [story] and were trapped in it for a period of time. Although no one was injured in the end, the traitor escaped..."

After listening, Lloyd rubbed his chin and thought about it, revealing a thoughtful look.

He had met an elite monster that was qualified to be recorded in the "Book of Truth" in the abandoned city before, [Incomprehensible Illusion]

This thing also caused some strange suicidal symptoms among the residents there...

Then, will this thing be related to the [Illusion] system?

The depths of this abandoned city may be worth seeing in person?

Lloyd didn't rush to make a decision, but continued to listen to the three classmates talking about other stories about the abandoned city.

I don't know if it's because of the special nature of the place, it always presents a legendary color like "Arkham", and there are so many supernatural legends?

What corridors can never be walked out, what life restricted areas are not allowed to be set foot in, what underground world edge.

Of course, as a person of Mizkatok, there are naturally all kinds of monsters that eat people...

It's just that the victims have changed from their roommates to the elderly and children living there, but in short, they want to eat people, then turn into someone else's appearance, and then continue to eat people.

Don't let this kind of nonsense story become a stereotyped tradition of our Mizkatok!

Why do so many people believe this kind of fake story? Do you guys just brush student handbooks when you have nothing to do in the college?

Lloyd shouted in his heart and tried to explain:

"Okay, okay, why are you going back to the academy? There is really no monster in the academy that will eat roommates and then become roommates. I can guarantee that no one will be eaten by such monsters!"

"Ahaha, I have always missed the various stories in the student handbook. If the school rules did not allow it, I really want to publish them into a book. Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least the story itself is very thrilling."

The rich classmate replied with a smirk.

Lloyd was about to ask more about the situation in the abandoned city to pave the way for his subsequent actions, but at this time some other guests arrived, and as soon as they came in, they made a noisy sound:

"So this is the most upscale banquet hall in the legendary Brilliant City? There will be an occasion where the saint will personally attend? This is really an honor..."

"Well, but it looks more rustic than I thought, and it is far less gorgeous than the several large banquet halls in the new city. The things provided also seem to be more...cost-saving?"

"Okay, okay, we are here to see the world, so don't worry about these details... Speaking of which, have you heard about today's protagonist? Who is that Everol? Who is that Lloyd? Why? Will the Lord Knight Commander come forward to perform the ceremony for them?"

"I don't know. I'll ask someone later."

This wave of people came in, including four young people with female companions. They seemed to be from richer families than the previous classmates.

Of course, they didn't have a rude and loud discussion. The previous words were just private exchanges in a low voice. However, they did not prepare corresponding soundproofing equipment, so these words would definitely be heard by Lloyd.

Although Lloyd is equipped with soundproofing equipment, it is a high-end product produced by the engineering department and has a magical one-way soundproofing function. Others cannot hear what he is talking about, but he can hear other movements in the field.

On the other hand, the other guests who came before all had soundproofing equipment. No matter how good it was, at least they would not appear to be making any noise. ’

"Who are these three guys?"

Lloyd couldn't help but ask.

The fat classmate looked back and looked twice, then shook his head.

"I don't know him, he's a junior from a wealthy businessman, right? Wait... you don't know him either?"

"Actually... never mind, this is normal, isn't it?"

Lloyd smiled helplessly and didn't pay much attention to these intruders.

Anyway, other than speaking a little too loudly, the others didn't do anything rude. He went to harass Big Brother. Lloyd didn't pay much attention and continued chatting with his classmates.

But these people didn't intend to let Lloyd go. After greeting Big Brother for a few words, they actually walked straight towards the corner where Lloyd and others were.

"Since we are all guests here, we should deal with it."

Brother Fu suggested in a low voice.

Lloyd nodded, stood up on his own initiative, and said hello:

"Welcome, the formal ceremony will begin in the afternoon, please feel free to do so."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lloyd."

A young man with gold-rimmed glasses on the opposite side responded, and then immediately asked:

"No offense, but I'm a little curious. You are the protagonist of today's banquet, right? Why are you sitting here?"

"I am a low-key person and don't like too lively occasions."

Lloyd answered truthfully and frowned slightly.

What is your identity and why are you here to teach me how to do things?

"But these guests who are coming so far are all famous people. Maybe you are not familiar with them? Then do you want us to walk around together?"

"No need, I'm here to accompany my classmates."

Lloyd shook his head, trying to remain polite as possible.

"Well, that's a real shame then."

The leading young man smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, and turned around to leave.

Lloyd didn't know how Big Brother introduced himself to these idle people, but it felt like they might have gotten it wrong?

So after turning around and leaving, he was still saying some strange words:

"Isn't this kid too disrespectful to us?"
