Chapter 583 584. The Saint’s Way of Redemption

"Can I interpret your prophecy?"

Lloyd asked boldly.

The saint opposite made a gesture of pressing down with his hands, signaling him not to rush.

"It's not the time yet. Your thoughts are very confused right now. Please settle down first."

Lloyd's mind was indeed a little confused at this time, so he did not refute and asked instead:

"Then...can you tell me, is the path I'm taking now the right one?"

However, the Redeemer Saint still answered like a riddle:

"The future that everyone can see, accept, and understand is different. It depends on how you interpret it...and your future is not clear enough yet, so I cannot answer your question. ,but……"

"If you think it is right, then continue. No matter whether it is the real path or not, at least it can clear the fog and add some variables to tomorrow, rather than the predetermined ending."

"this……"

Lloyd heard the saying 'predetermined ending' again, which he had heard from Hildina many times before.

"Is the future of this world really so pessimistic?"

"Strictly speaking, the word pessimism is not accurate enough. A more appropriate term would be 'chaos'. In the end, everything will return to nothingness and chaos, so there is no such thing as pessimism and optimism."

"Ah... isn't this the destruction of the world?"

The Saint of Redemption shook his head and looked at the only photo frame on the wall. The old photo had not been included in the previous knowledge crystal and became the last exhibit in the empty showroom.

"We are creatures that exist based on order. The disappearance of order means destruction for us, but... the world still exists, whether in chaos or order, we are just tiny ants attached to it. That’s all.”

"This...your words are getting more and more difficult to understand..."

"Then switch to the simplest way, continue what you want to do, and then explore the reality and essence of the world. Only in this way can you get the future you really want."

The saint's answer was still so obscure and difficult to understand, and the whole painting style became more and more cunning. Lloyd couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't even know how to ask questions.

I just heard the other party continue to say:

"I will help you, including the large-scale development I am preparing. It is an incomprehensible folly to them, but you should be able to understand it, right?"

As he spoke, the saint magically took out a large map from the sleeves of his black robe. It looked a little old and yellow, with many damages and defects at the corners.

But the content above was completely different from the darkness everywhere that Lloyd had seen. It clearly marked the cities and mountains and rivers in the past. It was a serious map.

"I want to go there, that's the direction I see in the prophecy."

The Redeemer tapped the map with his bandaged finger.

The area he pointed out was naturally the 'abyss' area divided by Lloyd, and it was very, very deep, even deeper than the location that Lloyd was trying to influence and transform.

This means it is more dangerous...

"Isn't this... too risky?"

Lloyd quickly spoke to try to dissuade him.

In the end, the saint just nodded calmly.

"I know."

Lloyd suddenly became a little anxious.

"It's not disrespectful, but I have simply evaluated those places using some kind of space system method. They are already places that humans cannot set foot in! Not even you!"

"I know."

"Then why..."

"Because someone has to do something to change our future, just like they did back then, just like you guys do now."

"You will perish there!"

"I know."

Lloyd was choked up and speechless by his attitude...

After being silent for a long time, he changed his perspective and tried to dissuade:

"What about your followers? What about your city? What will they do?"

"Everything is voluntary. I will clearly tell you the dangers and hardships that will follow. Everyone has the right to quit... As for this city, if you like it, how about giving it to you? Just treat it like this. A wedding gift to you and Hiltina."

The Saint of Redemption is still so stubborn, resolute and stubborn.

Lloyd shook his head repeatedly.

"I don't want it! I want to build a new one myself!"

"That's okay, there will be many people staying, and Baimon will also help me look after the city."

"A Saint of Order? Then maybe...but...why do you insist on knowing that you will die?"

Lloyd was getting more and more anxious, and his words became more and more arrogant.

"Do you think I am going to die? No, no, no, my young friend, you are wrong. Although it seems crazy and dangerous, it is definitely not a meaningless sacrifice. Please don't forget that I can see better than you. further away."

The Saint of Redemption said, stretched out his hand again, drew on the ancient map, and then asked a seemingly unrelated topic:

"My young friend, what do you call these areas?"

"I call them 'the abyss'."

"'Abyss'? It's a good name. It's both the past and chaos. It's an abyss that no one can reach. It's very appropriate."

The Redeemer Saint first endorsed this unofficial name, and then continued:

"Then if I'm not mistaken, you are also working in this direction now, right?"

"Uh... this is true. Did you see it in the prophecy?"

Lloyd admitted truthfully.

The saint on the other side did not answer directly, but instead said:

"Since you and I have seen the future direction there, how can we let you fight alone? After all, you are not a saint yet, and I should not sit back and enjoy the success."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Lloyd on the shoulder, and finally said:

"So please allow me to take the first step and create a clearer path for you, just like I have been doing all my life."

……………………

"My dear, don't be so silent, okay? You're ignoring me... Then do you want... let me play with your feet?"

Hiltina hugged Lloyd, who had been silent, and whispered in his ear.

Ever since he came back from the Eternal City, Lloyd had approached Hildina, but he didn't say anything. He just slumped down on the sofa and frowned, no matter how much Hildina kissed him or teased him. What a reaction, like a sudden depression.

This made Hiltina start to worry, with a worried look on her face.

As a result, Lloyd still didn't respond. It wasn't until he was silent for a while that he finally came to his senses. He stretched out his arms and hugged his lover's delicate body tightly, and let out a sigh:

"Alas...I couldn't stop him. I don't even know what to say to stop him."

Although Hiltina did not listen to the conversation between Lloyd and the Saint of Redemption, she must have known something, so she quickly comforted:

"It's okay. Don't think too badly about the problem, and don't underestimate him. He is the oldest among us. Regardless of his strength or wisdom, he will never do anything like death rashly."

"Although...it's too hard for him to do this, isn't it? He created the first extraordinary system and the first city of mankind in the apocalyptic era. Now so many years have passed, but he still has to be at the forefront and do the first city. A sacrifice..."

"Yes, this is Astra, this is his [salvation], and it makes people admire him from the bottom of his heart."

Hiltina said, nuzzling Lloyd's chest like a kitten, and then added:

"But precisely because of this, we should believe in him more and respect his choice."

"Yes, but trust and respect alone are not enough. I have to find a way to help him."

Lloyd said very firmly.

"Well, we can help him together."

"Yes, I can use the portal to help him maintain logistical supplies, help him maintain a good mental state, and pass the [Trial of Illusion] to influence the environment there."

"Hmm~ If you need any help from me, just tell me."

Lloyd nodded and then noticed that it was already early in the morning. If he didn't sleep, he would no longer be a perfect human being.

He was about to get up and go home, but Hildina pushed him back.

"Don't go back, just rest here. Everol is already asleep, don't worry about her."

"That's fine..."

Lloyd simply closed his eyes and fell asleep in a second.

Hiltina lay on his chest, closing her eyes together, her beautiful face full of tenderness.

……………………

When Lloyd woke up from the big bed in Hiltina's boudoir the next day, he could no longer see his lover beside him, and could only feel the faint warmth and fragrance remaining around him.

Alas ~ Gentle Township...

Lloyd took a deep breath, shook his head vigorously, and threw all these messy things out of his mind before returning to the [Thinking Realm] to complete today's daily tasks.

Naturally, Hiltina didn't have much insanity points to gain, but the palace foundation was surprisingly generous and actually sent five pieces of forbidden knowledge to directly help him level up.

I grabbed some monsters from the warehouse and chewed them, as well as some bits and pieces of mosquito legs harvested in various ways, and finally managed to get 35 more attributes.

Including the big head taken from the Redemption Saint, a total of 1035 attribute points are waiting to be expanded.

300 points [Rationality], 300 points [Spiritual Power], 300 points [Cognition], and all the rest are added to Inspiration.

[Ding~Add points to complete]

[User: Royd]

【state:? ? ? 】

[Rationality: 5450]

[Spiritual power: 5440]

【Inspiration: 3000】

[Cognition: 5440]

[System: Distort LV6, reject LV6, falsehood]

Phew~ Is this the satisfaction of achieving something after hard work?

Sure enough, we should communicate more with saints!

However... it's not enough!

If you want to get rid of those abyss in the past, let alone the current attributes, even doubling them several times may not be enough.

So, it’s time to go back to college and keep working hard!

Lloyd sat up from the bed, put on a new set of clothes, packed them up casually, and went home first.

Because she got up a little late today, Everol had already gone out, but the little kitten was still guarding the house. When she saw Lloyd coming back, she jumped up on him.

"Come on, follow me back to the academy."

Lloyd grabbed the kitten and returned to the academy without stopping.

Then he chose the dean's office as his destination.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

A question came from behind the empty desk.

"Nothing, just stay here for a while."

Lloyd said, took the kitten out of his pocket and put it down somewhere.

It was the first time for the kitten to see such an office that looked like a duel field. It immediately opened its eyes wide and looked around curiously.

Until it was caught by a pair of invisible big hands and picked up.

"This little thing is getting cuter and cuter by you, but why doesn't it grow up? What do you feed it every day?"

Dean Hazlade pinched the kitten's furry paws and chatted casually.

As a result, Lloyd did not respond, but leaned on a chair, twisting his chin with his hand, and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about dangerous questions about chaos, falsehood, and [history].

By the way, let's review the forbidden knowledge I got this morning.

After getting some inspiration from the Redeemer Saint yesterday, he had a lot of inspiration and ideas, but he didn't have time to sort them out carefully, so he came to the dean's office.

As for why he chose this place, it was the advice of the Redeemer Saint.

Although this saint didn't understand Mizkatok at all, his advice was very effective.

Thinking about such dangerous problems here with the dean will not trigger a riot of inspiration and weird intuition, nor will it attract the threat of that sight.

It can only be said that the prophecy of the Redeemer Saint is really not that simple, and it is definitely not limited to the metaphysical level.

It feels to Lloyd more like a unique way of understanding and interpreting the world.

It may involve what he said, 'the reality of the world'.

Although it's very mysterious, it may be true...

In short, Lloyd pondered in the dean's office for quite a long time, until he sorted out the mess in his mind, threw away all the useless threads, and digested the new forbidden knowledge, and then gradually came back to his senses.

Looking at the time again, how come it's already evening?

Lloyd remembered that when he returned to the academy, it was about 11 o'clock in the morning of the academy time. As a result, half a day was gone in this meditation?

No wonder every time Xildina fell into deep thought, she would become dull and not talk to people...

At this time, the invisible Dean Hazlade suddenly asked:

"You seem to be thinking about a very complicated problem?"

"Well, because I went to see the Redeemer Saint last night, he talked to me a lot and gave me a lot of inspiration."

Lloyd said, and then talked to the dean about what happened last night.
