I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

So... why do humans need bodyguards?

Can't you learn to protect yourself?

Lloyd looked at the increasingly noisy meeting place and couldn't help but feel a headache.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have bothered with this...

While he was daydreaming, he saw the fat classmate who was in charge of the investigation team walk up to the two uninvited sons of officials and whisper something in their ears.

The two guys, who had originally looked so arrogant and at ease in social situations, suddenly changed their expressions, and then they began to sweat profusely and began to nod and bow continuously, as if they were apologizing.

They each took out two things from their pockets and handed them respectfully to the fat classmate, then pulled their female companions and staggered out of the venue.

As a result, just after he took a few steps, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell flat on his face. He couldn't even stand up. His whole body turned into a puddle of mud, and his clothes were all soaked with sweat, as if he had just come out of the water.

This immediately caused a small commotion on the scene, causing many people to shout and scream.

But it was basically the uninvited politicians who were making a fuss later on, while the businessmen and extraordinary people who arrived first were very calm, and no one even offered to help.

Everyone should have noticed that this was the method used by a sixth-level strongman, so naturally few people were qualified to meddle in other people's business, not to mention that it was completely unnecessary.

Finally, several waiters came with a stretcher and carried the two men out. At that time, the two men were already foaming at the mouth, and their limbs were twitching constantly, as if they were having an epileptic seizure.

Lloyd was stunned as he watched from the side. Could this be some special ancient magic?

This won’t cause any loss of life, right?

As for the two sons of officials at the other table, they wanted to go forward to help, but were blocked by Fu Ge and Lao Shi Ren.

There was no direct conflict here, but a quarrel broke out between the two sides.

Lloyd didn't know what they talked about. He only saw that after the two sons of officials quarreled for a few words, their faces began to change from gloomy to bright, and changed faster than turning the pages of a book. Finally, his face froze into a dark look. He took something out of his pocket, handed it over, and then ran out of the venue with his head down.

Uh... could it be that you two also know some amazing ancient magic?

Lloyd was wondering when the three classmates quickly came back to him and threw the things they had just received on the table.

A car key, a room key, a jewelry box, and a card with a lipstick mark on it.

"What is this? What did you do?"

Lloyd asked quickly.

"Nothing, just a little trick from ancient times. Since those two outspoken guys want to hire extraordinary people as bodyguards, then I simply demonstrated my skills. This must be reasonable, right?"

The fat classmate said happily, and explained:

"Of course, this is not a direct fright or intimidation, but it makes them see something they shouldn't look at directly... Of course, these are just some very superficial things. They are nothing to extraordinary people, and they are not fatal to ordinary people. They just need to lie in bed for a while and they will recover."

"Ah, this... is truly a miraculous ancient magic."

Lloyd nodded, probably understanding what he meant. What he meant was to release something that was too unbearable to look at directly for those two guys to see.

For a sixth-rank warrior who is also a warrior from the mysterious [Ancient Mage] system, simply "sharing" some magic formulas and secrets with ordinary people and demonstrating the working principles of magic is enough to create such an effect.

It was a relatively sophisticated and fancy routine. It was neither a sorcery nor physical harm. It was just a demonstration of ability to the two men.

If you want to hire a bodyguard, you have to consider his ability, right? This is of course reasonable!

Moreover, he held back in the end, so no one was killed and there was no big noise, making it difficult for the other party to pursue the matter later, and it also helped Lloyd vent his anger.

The fat classmate is really a talented person!

As for the other two students, the measures they adopted were much milder.

Just a few quarrels and the mention of two names made the two sons of officials give up.

"The specific content of the conversation is rather vulgar, so I won't go into details. Anyway, the fathers of these two people should come to apologize in person soon. You can decide how to forgive them when the time comes."

Brother Fu said lightly.

But Lloyd asked again:

"Ah this... Even though you said it was vulgar, could you at least reveal a little bit?"

"Haha... Actually, I just talked about our relationship and then gave my father's name. I don't like giving my family members' names, but I couldn't help it. He was the first to say who his father was, so I had to introduce myself out of politeness."

Brother Fu still answered in a very general way, and it seemed that he didn't like talking about topics like comparing family backgrounds.

And that honest classmate probably didn't have a very powerful father, so he could only join in the discussion.

"I didn't say much, I just introduced myself and told them the name of my society."

These... just two names, could make two unruly sons of officials give up and make their father come to apologize?

"It seems that what you have learned is very remarkable, huh?"

"You flatter me. I'm just doing some research on life forms."

The honest student smiled shyly and expressed himself very subtly.

But Lloyd could still understand.

There are many folk societies that are interested in studying life forms, but not many can sustain themselves.

Because the cost is too high, and there are too few scholars who can do it…

As Mr. Honest Man mentioned briefly before, his society has a history of more than ten years, but it has not achieved much and cannot be compared with that of the college.

But just being able to maintain this society is already a remarkable achievement.

As for the importance of this kind of learning, it may not have much impact on extraordinary people, but for ordinary people, it often means a life-saving straw -

If you want to prolong your life and stay young without getting involved in the mysterious and supernatural, you must rely on this technology.

So the name this classmate gave to the society is very interesting. It is obviously about studying life forms, but it is named "Keep Time".

And 'time', or 'lifespan', may not mean anything to extraordinary people, but to those powerful politicians, it is simply the most precious thing in the world.

One can imagine what level of people the honest classmate interacts with in his society.

So it is possible that the two sons of officials were not afraid of the family background of classmate Fu Ge, but were in awe of the society of their classmate Laoren.

It seems that my classmates are still very good!

"By the way, what are these?"

Lloyd pointed to the four 'trophies' on the table and asked.

"This should be the latest limited edition sports car that was recently released. I booked it half a year ago during the preview stage, but I still haven't been able to pick up the car... It seems that these people must have snatched it away, and used it as a bet?"

Brother Fu said angrily, and then pointed at the remaining items:

"This key should be to a luxury apartment. The location should not be bad, right? Anyway, the value is probably about the same as a limited edition sports car. His father will come to handle the relevant procedures later;"

"As for this piece of jewelry, it seems to be the highlight of a previous auction? But auctions are what I hate most in my life, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but it must be expensive..."

"As for the last one... it's the address of the most famous female singer in the city..."

After a brief introduction, he smiled again and continued:

"They first took these things out for gambling, and then took them out to apologize to Lloyd. Take them and consider them as gifts from them."

But Lloyd waved his hands repeatedly and said generously:

"I don't want the gifts from these people. There are four of us, so let's split it up."

Lloyd has always maintained the image of a generous and open-minded young man, so he really doesn't care about this little thing. It would be better to share it and build good relationships with these three classmates who are obviously the best among them. Isn't it much better than this little profit?

"Well... that's true. For you who have a gold collar clip, if you want these little toys, there are many people lining up to deliver them to your door. I won't be polite, but Lloyd, you can choose first?"

The fat classmate said with a wry smile, lowered his voice, and whispered a reminder:

"That female celebrity is actually pretty good. She's not a cheap woman, otherwise she wouldn't be put together with these things."

"No, no, no! I'm not interested in her even if she's made of gold."

Lloyd said as he reached out and picked up the key to the luxurious apartment.

Of all the things on the table, this is the most useful.

The rest look like sports cars. I am too lazy to walk on the road now. I even have to open a portal to go to the toilet. What’s the use of having a car?

Not to mention jewelry, I definitely wouldn't wear such things, and this is a single piece, I don't know whether to give it to Xildina, Weiya or Ai Luoluo...

As for the female star, forget it...Hiltina's bite is very painful!

This luxurious apartment is the most useful. It can be used as a secret base for yourself.

If Eloro comes to the Brilliant City again someday, won’t there be a place to hide his beauty?

Hehehehehehehe…hehehehehe…

After Lloyd made his choice, the second person to make a move was not the fat classmate with the highest rank, but the honest classmate who didn't talk much?

Although he looked honest, he chose the small card with the lipstick mark on it...

After he had made his choice, the fat classmate took the sports car key and left the last piece of jewelry to the rich classmate.

This order also roughly reflects the status of the three people.

The honest student who can run a rare society and has no unlearned contacts is the one with the highest position among the three.

On the contrary, the rich classmate who has a rich family but has not built his own business and has the lowest rank has the lowest position...

But he was quite happy, and laughed, saying:

"As expected, you two understand me the best. This is the only thing I can take out of all these things."

After dividing the spoils, Lloyd was about to tell the three of them about some major events in the academy, but he heard a discordant voice coming from the table next to him:

"Does this mean a refusal? But I am here on behalf of the congressman. I hope you understand what this means."

"roll!"

"Haha, I will remember your courtesy today..."

The two seemingly respectable people quarreled for a few words and then parted unhappily. The guy who claimed to be the "parliamentary representative" walked to another table and continued his lobbying.

The content of the lobbying was still to recruit bodyguards, but Lloyd pricked up his ears and listened carefully, only to find that the conditions offered by this guy were a bit wrong?

It's not like normal people, promising high salary and good benefits, nor bearing the subsequent [transcendence] expenses, but instead giving people chicken soup?

He keeps talking about "the future of mankind", "the destiny of the world", and "finding your own position". He even makes hidden threats, "don't regret it".

Is this too naive or too stupid?

The HR of a certain company?

Lloyd was complaining in his heart, which meant that he immediately had another unpleasant incident with someone in the other seat and was kicked out without any courtesy.

Now even the rich classmate next to him couldn't stand it anymore and asked in confusion:

"The congressman he mentioned is just a marginal figure in the parliament. It would be fine if he just hired a bodyguard like others, but he actually put on such a high profile? Why does it feel a little strange?"

After hearing what he said, Lloyd casually threw a [Probe] over and took a look at the representative's mental state.

It’s actually [normal]???

Even a realistic person like me is in a mental state of [??? ??? ??? ], how can this guy be normal?

Lloyd was complaining in his heart when he saw the man say the same harsh words as before after being rejected. He then took out a small notebook and wrote down a few names on it, as if he was going to settle accounts with them in the future.

Then, he continued to walk towards his table with his head held high and his back held high.

"I'll chase him away."

Seeing this, the fat classmate volunteered again.

But Lloyd waved his hand, as if he had thought of something, and motioned the three students to go to the side so that he could meet this guy alone.

Although the three students felt a little strange, they didn't say much and moved to the next table.

Lloyd first activated a more advanced soundproofing equipment to ensure that even a powerful person in a high position could not eavesdrop, and then waited for the representative to come up to him.

"Hello, please allow me to..."

Before he could finish his words, Lloyd waved his hand and asked directly:

"Is the councilman you serve involved with some ancient people?"

The representative's originally arrogant expression froze for a moment, and his prepared opening remarks were choked.

He paused for a few seconds, looked around, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"You, too? Want to become an honorary citizen of the tribe?"

Tribe?

Sure enough...

Lloyd had an idea in his mind, but he smiled and nodded repeatedly, and replied:

"Haha, yes, come sit down, come sit down, and tell me about that important person you are in contact with?"

"That's fine, as long as you can make sure no one is eavesdropping..."
