I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

After dealing with these trivial matters in the world, Lloyd still has one big thing to complete before he can return to the academy and continue a new round of "retreat".

So early that morning, he woke up from the big bed in his new home, completed his routine, and then carefully changed into a proper suit, wearing a tie clip, watch chain, silk hat and other accessories, so that when Everoel saw him, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wow! Xiao Yi is dressed so handsomely today. Is he going to attend some important occasion?"

"No, just a small meeting."

Lloyd smiled and combed his sister's hair as usual. After sending her to the editorial office, he told the kitten to look after the house and went to Hiltina's boudoir alone.

Hiltina was also dressed formally, putting on the dress that Lloyd liked very much, and then she put her arm around his, as if they were going to register their marriage.

But then she took out a crystal ball and placed it between the two of them, then raised her finger and flicked it gently. The crystal ball immediately began to spin, and a mysterious light flashed from it, dazzling Lloyd.

When his vision returned, he found himself in a simple meeting room, sitting in a high-backed chair at the very end.

The one sitting at the head of the group was the Redeemer Saint, who I hadn’t seen for a while. He was still wearing a hood and cloak, not wanting to scare others. He greeted them in a gentle tone:

"Welcome, Lloyd."

As for the other people present, Lloyd knew them all except for a burly and strong man.

A severely schizophrenic patient in the City of Silence, a severely autistic patient in the City of Illusion, his own shrew, and a beautiful and lovely Eloro.

"Of course, you are welcome too, another patron saint."

"Hehe, hello everyone, I'm Eloro from the City of Joy, and I'm also the fiancée of the seventh saint Lloyd. Nice to meet you all."

"How dare you! You shameless little devil! How dare you come here and snatch my man?"

Hiltina, who was beside Lloyd, jumped up on the spot.

Ai Luoluo actually jumped up and refused to admit defeat, and replied without any hesitation:

"Humph~ It was obviously me who came here first, and it was you, a vicious old witch, who stole my man!"

Lloyd had never expected that these two guys would talk about such things as soon as they met, and he was suddenly at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, the burly man stood up in time, coughed twice, and reminded:

"Ahem... Please be mindful of the occasion, saints. We are not here to arbitrate your relationship. Please resolve your emotional disputes privately."

Hiltina and Eloro sat back unconvinced, staring at each other fiercely.

Seeing this, Lloyd quickly spoke up, trying to get the topic back on track:

"I am also honored to see you all here. This is also my first time to attend a Saints' Conference. Although it may be a little early for me, the current situation requires such a meeting to exchange ideas with you all..."

Thanks to Lloyd's efforts, the atmosphere at the scene finally eased a little and they could talk about business.

The main topic of this Saints' Conference is obviously related to the [Trial of Falsehood], purifying the abyss, the expedition to redeem the Saints, and the ancient survivors.

Focusing on these four directions, the seven saints fully exchanged opinions and views, and spent a whole day coming up with a rough plan.

First of all, Lloyd will improve the [Trial of Illusion] as soon as possible to the point where it can be offered to the public, and begin to purify the outer abyss area.

Then he needs several saints to cooperate with his plan and start promoting it in their respective territories.

The Saint of Redemption, on the other hand, ignored everyone's opposition and insisted on leading an expeditionary force himself to set off first.

Moreover, it was not like an ordinary large-scale development, where they fought, built roads, and erected fortifications to mark the territory. Instead, they planned to drive straight into the abyss area, eliminate the monsters there, and forcibly open up a foothold there.

This plan was extremely reckless, and to the other saints, it seemed no different from suicide.

But Lloyd knew very well that this was the Saint of Redemption paving the way for him in advance.

Moreover, the Saint should also know through his [Prophecy] that Lloyd will support him in various ways, so this seemingly reckless move is actually on the road to the future.

He then took on the task of explaining and helped the Saint of Redemption to add some details, so that the other saints could understand the full picture of the plan.

To put it simply, it is to send the power generated by the [False Trial] to the direction of the Redeemer Saint's progress, clear some obstacles for him, and help him open up and consolidate a new foothold.

Then, starting from that foothold, he began to cast more illusory power around, in this way to purify the abyss area.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this grand goal relying solely on the efforts of Lloyd or the Redemption Saint.

If they only rely on the power of [illusion], the monsters will continue to multiply and grow in the abyss, and use their own numbers to consolidate the existence of the abyss.

If he only relies on the Redemption Saint, even if he clears out those monsters, it will not have much impact on the environment. Hordes of monsters will still continue to multiply and completely overwhelm him.

Therefore, transforming the environment and killing monsters must be carried out at the same time, otherwise the abyss will always be an indestructible wasteland on earth.

This was the conclusion Lloyd came to after conducting tests over the previous six months and gaining a deeper understanding of the abyss area.

If we ignore those places, the abyss will gradually grow and spread, encroaching on the existing living space of human beings until it completely sweeps the entire world.

No one knows how long this will take, and even the [Prophecy] of the Redeemer Saint only saw the arrival of this scene.

At the same time, this is also consistent with the speculations of other saints and Mizkaatok about the future form.

The unknown doomsday is more terrifying and despairing than the disaster that is right before our eyes...

And there are also the ancient survivors lurking in the dark, ready to make a move...

So everyone is trying different directions and paths to reverse this outcome.

And Lloyd, or "The Book of Madness", regained his self-awareness at this critical time point, stepped forward in time, and pointed out this only path.

He could even vaguely feel that his path to becoming a god was contained in it.

These are also some of the details he gradually realized after killing the ancient mushroom god.

In short, if one wants to implement this plan, the efforts of one or two parties alone are definitely not enough, so Lloyd participated in this saint meeting in advance and needed to obtain the support of other saints.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to convince the saints present here.

The Redeemer Saint himself is a participant and executor, needless to say.

The same went for Hiltina and Eloro. They nodded to whatever Lloyd said.

Among the remaining three saints, the first one to nod was the Manifested Saint who had remained silent throughout the entire process and suffered from severe autism.

He even answered for the first time:

"I will send someone... to help... or to help Lloyd... locate the impact point and area of ​​influence of those forces."

This is an unexpected surprise for Lloyd, right?

Originally, he wanted to control the power of "illusion" generated from the trial and make it fall accurately on the area he wanted, but this was still a problem to be solved.

Lloyd's plan was to start working on this problem immediately after returning to the academy. He had to let the power of [Void] cover him before the Redemption Saint arrived at the outer area.

As a result, the Manifested Saint unexpectedly did this?

Lloyd was a little curious at first, wondering how he knew that he hadn't solved the problem yet. But before he could ask, the other party stuttered and took the initiative to explain:

"Actually... I noticed your research a long time ago... and have been following it... "

"I thought... you would come to me... but you... were indifferent... so I had to... study on my own..."

Uh...no, I didn't come to find you, but you can come to find me?

Besides, you can't even speak clearly, how can I come to you?

Lloyd was secretly complaining in his heart, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I can only say that his condition is really serious...

After the Manifested Saint finished stammering these words, he let out a long breath, showing an expression of relief, and then stopped talking, as if he had said everything he wanted to say for the rest of his life.

"Since even Zam'el has said so, I naturally have no objection. Besides, I originally planned to go to support Astra alone if you guys didn't cooperate. My cult is already on the way. It's better to talk about it now."

The burly man, the Law Saint Baimon, said, then looked at Lloyd and said:

"To be honest, I've always wondered why you didn't come to see me. You've visited all of them privately, right? And you seem to have helped them a lot? But why didn't you come to me?"

"Ah? This..."

"Although I look relatively normal, what you see now is not my true form. The real me is already seriously ill. If you have time, remember to come and help me. Of course, I won't let you help me in vain. I can help you convince Hiltyna and let her accept your love for humanity."

"Bah! Don't even think about it!"

"Uh... okay, then I'll change the conditions. There are still many good things in my private treasure house. You can take your pick when the time comes."

"Uh...you don't have to be so polite. I'll come over when I have time."

Lloyd waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I had never thought that a saint who abides by the [Law] and gains power by restraining his own behavior would have such a personality and temperament?

But people from the [Law] Department seem to be the more straightforward type? Judging from the few people Lloyd has come into contact with, such as Goldron from the previous seminar, the Great Knight Changshandu who he had some contact with, and the students from the [Law] Department in the academy, they generally have such personality traits.

This is also related to their power system.

The extraordinary people under the [Law] system generally use the [Law] to restrain their own "hypocrisy", "courtesy", "cunning" and other behaviors with lesser impact, and gain power while minimizing the impact on their normal personality and thinking.

Over time, as restrictions increase, personalities become more and more similar, and even the whole person may become a little bit stubborn and stupid...

It can only be said that the [Law] system, as the second supernatural system of the new era, still has many drawbacks that need to be improved, just like the [Redemption] system.

So after surviving the most dangerous period, it is inevitable that these two systems will gradually decline and become unpopular.

I just wonder if the 'fighting spirit' restored by the academy can be of any help to them?

Lloyd could only think in an optimistic direction.

Finally, the only ones who have not expressed their views are the intellectual saints.

But his attitude could actually be seen from his smiling expression, he just didn't rush to speak.

It was not until it was his turn that he spoke:

"I'm sure it's no problem. People in our [Intellectual] system are always preparing for the expedition."

In this way, with the consent of several other saints, neither Lloyd nor the Saint of Redemption would have to fight alone.

So in general, everyone reached a consensus on the general direction of this Saints Conference.

This made Xiltina smile and she concluded:

"I almost forgot how long it had been since we had reached an agreement like this, and I also forgot when it started that we always had uncompromising differences... Of course, for me, there is still an uncompromising difference today."

As she spoke, she began to stare at Ai Luoluo fiercely again, as if she was going to pounce on him and start tearing him apart on the spot.

Seeing this, Lloyd quickly spoke up to smooth things over:

"Ahem, alright, alright, since we have reached a consensus on the general direction, let's not worry about this little problem... Well, let's talk about the ancient survivors, shall we? Coincidentally, I just uncovered one of their conspiracies a while ago..."

Lloyd then started talking about the previous wave of achievements, which helped to control the atmosphere on the scene, which lasted until the end of the meeting.

"Lord Uther, I'm going back now. Remember to come visit me more often. Hehe, I've prepared some beautiful new dresses and new socks..."

Eloro waved her little hand and said goodbye to Lloyd with affection.

"Okay... oh oh oh oh... don't don't don't..."

Before Lloyd could respond, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then his vision blurred, and he returned from the conference room to Hiltina's boudoir.

Next, the real trouble comes. I have to try my best to appease Hiltina, otherwise my backyard will really be lost...
