I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd's speculation made Valdes also start to think about it, and then asked in a low voice full of awe:

"Is there an existence like the venerable one behind us? But such an existence has surpassed a saint. Why would he still want to become a saint?"

"He clearly has no match for respect..."

Lloyd first suppressed his embarrassment and boasted to himself, and then quickly continued to speculate:

"So maybe he wants to complete the recovery by becoming a saint? Or maybe he wants to return to today's civilized society and seize a piece of territory? That's why he is interested in the Eternal City? After all, the decline of this city has you I also saw it, and..."

He originally wanted to say that the 'elm-headed' Saint of Redemption had never given him a good impression, and the [Redemption] system he was in charge of was not strong enough. The key was that his mentality was extremely pessimistic and depressing...

But now that he was staying on someone else's territory, he didn't dare to really say bad things about others, so he finally changed his mind and said:

"And the Saint of Redemption, as the oldest one, may have some connections with those ancient powerful men?"

What he actually wanted to say was that this saint had a stubborn admiration and reverence for the glory of the past. This was something Hildina had complained to him personally, along with the dean... but he still couldn't say it. It was too direct, so I changed to a relatively tactful wording.

As it turned out, Valdez was very good at restraining his curiosity, and in turn advised:

"But... let's not talk about this for now? Whether it's an ancient strong man or a saint, you and I shouldn't discuss it too much..."

"That's true. Then hurry up and collect the information here."

Lloyd nodded, and then he and Valdes searched around, and finally made a simple summary of all the information, and finally figured out the plot of the Secret Order——

First of all, they still need to find an ancient ruins and obtain the heritage therein to help their bandit leader gain strength.

Considering that the bandit leader himself is probably an ancient person who is not dead, the real purpose of this step is probably to 'release' this guy, but he didn't reveal the truth to this group of criminals?

It seems that this ancient ruins is still difficult to find, so Jenkins, who is somewhat related to it, must be used. This is consistent with Lloyd's previous speculation.

Then after completing this wave of archeology, a large-scale ritual with unknown functions was deployed in the Eternal City. It was said to help the bandit leader complete his promotion, but Lloyd felt that this was more like attacking the Eternal Saint?

In order to make this step go smoothly, this group of criminals needs to cooperate inside and outside to distract attention. For this, they also need a large number of manpower and materials, and they have to go to other cities to cause chaos to prevent reinforcements.

Maybe the changes in the City of Joy are related to this plan?

Finally, when the bandit leader was successfully promoted to a saint, it was time to fulfill various promises to his subordinates, such as power, wealth, status, and women. But these things were not conjured out of thin air, but needed to be plundered elsewhere.

For example, the rich and dazzling city, the weak city of joy, and even the mysterious dream theater have become 'fat sheep' on their list.

In this way, they conquered the whole world, and finally established an utopia and a paradise on earth...

How should I put it... After understanding the whole plan, Lloyd was more certain of his previous speculation. There is a high probability that this group of criminals has been affected in their thinking and judgment.

Otherwise, would anyone in their right mind believe this stuff?

Then you might as well believe that I can become a saint...

Lloyd cursed in his heart, and finally figured out why this criminal dared to be so rampant.

Their thinking may have been abnormal for a long time.

Even Valdes complained:

"These people are really crazy..."

"It's almost time. Hand over these things to the Eternal Order. It's up to them to deal with it themselves."

Lloyd also said a little disappointed.

He originally thought there would be something good in that ancient tomb, but it turned out to be a rice dumpling that wanted to rule the world...

Then leave it to others to slay the demons, and continue to complete your promotion as planned.

However, although he didn't want to deal with the follow-up matters, he still paid more attention and wrote down several possible tomb locations marked on the map, plus some information and materials about the ceremony they prepared. Just in case something happens later.

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

"Let me go! You rude idiots! I'm not crazy! I'm going to find the greatest discovery in human archeology! Do you know what this means? I want to go down in history! I don't want to be in a mental hospital!"

Lloyd and his group watched silently as several priests held down an archaeologist who kept roaring and cursing, tied him up, and threw him into a carriage.

This man was one of the archaeologists who was deceived by the Secret Order. After Lloyd removed the influence of the [Distortion Realm] and handed it over to the people of the Eternal Order, he suddenly went crazy on the spot. It seemed that Really very ill...

Another archaeologist who was deceived like him was much calmer. He just kept holding his head and thinking deeply, as if he had encountered some difficult puzzle, but at least he could still go to the mental hospital to pick people up. carriage.

Then the remaining members of the Secret Order were taken into custody one after another and put on the carriage leading to the Court of Holy Grace.

These people seemed to have quite strong bones. They neither cried for mercy nor tried to resist. Instead, they looked generous and fearless. Maybe they thought the bandit leader behind them could fish them out, right?

Already like a cult fanatic...

In the end, the people from the Eternal Order cleaned up the scene hastily, took over the information collected by Lloyd and Valdez, and said a few polite words of thanks, and the matter was considered over.

After the people from the cult had gone away, Lindsay, who had been silent before, couldn't help but say:

"Why are these people like this? Are they completely unconcerned about such a big thing? Do they have any basic sense of responsibility?"

He was not the only one who felt this way, the other three people in the team could also feel that the Eternal Order was perfunctory, and they really didn't even bother to pretend.

Lloyd shook his head and didn't say anything more. He just suggested:

"Forget it, we just do what we should do and what we can do. It's time to go back."

Bald Bartolo pursed his lips, raised his bald brows, and added in a low voice:

"Your Excellency Astra's mentality has affected the state of the entire city. I wonder if it is possible for him to cheer up? Forget it..."

After that, he was the first to walk into the portal opened by Lloyd, and the rest of the people filed in and returned to Lindsay's workshop.

Although the attitude of the Eternal Order is indeed disappointing, the main purpose of Lloyd's trip was achieved. Jenkins was successfully rescued and the Eternal City was reminded of a conspiracy. This temporary team should be disbanded on the spot. .

At this time, it was still a while before the agreed 6 p.m., and Lloyd returned to the luxurious guest room arranged by Lindsay and took out the gift box that Bishop Milly had given him.
