Chapter 581 Chapter 582 The Invitation of the Redeemer Saint
After several testers colluded in a lot of nonsense and awkward praise to Lloyd, they reluctantly walked towards the departure portal, ending the test.
In other words, you cannot bring any personal belongings with you when entering the trial, otherwise Everole would definitely take out her camera and take a photo with everyone.
Because this is a trial in the real world, there is naturally no "historical scene" afterwards. After everyone entered the portal, they returned to reality.
Lloyd waited until everyone had left before closing the trial. He then checked the error caused by his sister and tried to optimize it.
As a result of this optimization, why are there more and more problems?
There was a bug in this place before, but why can't it run after it was fixed?
Also, there was no bug here originally, but after optimizing out the new bug, there is no impact?
It’s amazing…
After a lot of hassles, Lloyd weighed the pros and cons and chose to roll back the version...
It’s better not to repair it. At worst, I can ask my sister to be more careful next time and not to kill too many monsters at once.
If you can’t solve the BUG, can you solve the person who created the BUG?
After temporarily putting aside the trial at hand, Lloyd continued to open a portal, and the other side was naturally the "abyss" area of the past.
I still didn't dare open the door directly. I just put my hand on the door handle and feel the movement behind the door.
Hmm...it seems that the weird, evil, crazy, chaotic and inhuman aura from before has faded a little bit?
Not much, just a little bit, but it shouldn't be an illusion.
This means that the power created by the [Trial of Illusion] has improved the environment there. With time, it can at least be transformed into a place where a portal can be opened.
However, the trials in reality take too long. Even without the last "historical scene", it still takes more than 3 hours each time.
The academy can save time, but there aren't enough people...
Therefore, before large-scale promotion, we have to find a way to solve the problem of time difference, otherwise the trials in the two places cannot be merged together.
If conditions permit, it is naturally better to combine them all together. This way, whether it is the cost and difficulty of maintenance and management, or the degree of integration of those [illusory] forces, it is better than dispersing them.
So is it better to set the trial in the academy or in the real world?
Lloyd was faced with a new choice.
In the academy, the flow of time slows down, more trials can be conducted per unit time, more [illusion] power can be created, and more people can benefit from it.
However, when those forces pass through the barriers of different spaces and time speed difference areas and finally fall into the real world, they will inevitably be weakened and cause losses.
Moreover, the college currently cannot accommodate so many people, which causes many inconveniences.
If it is set in the real world, it will face the problem of time efficiency and communication distance.
Anyway, there is no perfect solution.
It’s still not strong enough, not perfect enough, so we have to face these drawbacks...
I hope I can receive more taboo knowledge every day and of higher quality?
Seeing that he had no idea how to solve one problem, Lloyd quickly turned his attention to another one.
Speaking of forbidden knowledge, I need to do some more research. Why is it that all the knowledge I get in the trial is low-risk junk knowledge?
As a result, this research lasted until it was dark...
It was definitely discovered, and just as he had guessed before, the power of [illusion] formed some kind of magical filter, resisting some dangerous forbidden knowledge.
At the same time, it also forms a spiritual defense that can weaken the spiritual pollution caused by forbidden knowledge.
These two functions were not designed by Lloyd, but were built into the "Book of Falsehood" and were written by the former dean.
And it wasn't the mediocre version of the former dean, but the version with chopped pepper and fish head. He hid in "The Book of Falsehood" for so many years and made many adjustments and optimizations to the book before finally handing it over to Lloyd.
So it is basically difficult for Lloyd to adjust these. It feels like the previous programmer has resigned and left a bunch of code without comments to him. It would be good enough if he can keep it running and add new features. How dare he tamper with it?
This method of weakening spiritual pollution can be regarded as one of Mizkatok's "ancestral skills", and it can even be said to be one of the foundations for the survival of the academy. Dean Hazlade and professors of other disciplines also know how to do it.
Otherwise, the forbidden systems, ancient wizard systems, and even the space system, which are not presided over by useless saints, would not have been able to continue. They would have been mentally polluted and turned into a real madhouse... Oh no, it might not even be just a madhouse, it should be said to be a crazy devil's den in another dimension.
Unfortunately, this filtering function still has some drawbacks and defects, and it still cannot completely block spiritual pollution.
Moreover, it can only target the mental pollution caused by forbidden knowledge, but it has no effect on the other major source, the mental pollution caused by various demons and monsters.
That’s why Dean Hazlade thought this was not a viable path, and finally chose to find another way and bet on the more comprehensive “Book of Madness”…
Bah! What is the Mad Book? I am who I am. I don't know what the Mad Book is!
Lloyd shook his head vigorously and stopped thinking about this question.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was almost 8 o'clock in the evening. He hadn't eaten yet, so he decided to eat something casually and then go home to be with his sister.
As a result, when I was looking for food, I noticed a gentle gaze falling on the nearby area, scanning back and forth, as if looking for something?
But after looking around for a long time, he found nothing, and his eyes inevitably revealed anxiety, just like a newly married wife who couldn't find her husband.
Lloyd was still a little confused, but then he suddenly remembered that he had set up a space loop near the apartment...
So he hurried out of the apartment and came to the corridor outside.
That gentle gaze was instantly fixed on him, instantly conveying a series of complex emotions.
"Where have you been hiding? Why can't I find you? I almost cried! I thought my man was kidnapped!"
Lloyd didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt that gaze continue to say:
'Astra replied to me, inviting you to visit him as soon as possible!'
"I have never seen Astra so anxious. Maybe his prophecy has changed again. So if you have time, go back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about your family. I will find time to go back and be with my sister."
Now that Hiltina has said this, what else can Lloyd say?
We can only follow the saint's orders.
Lloyd then stretched out his hand and opened a portal, locating himself at Jenkins' home to see if he could make an introduction for him.
Not long after he left, Everole, who was eating snacks on the sofa and writing and drawing on the table, suddenly felt a gentle and comfortable gaze falling on her.
Then, she also interpreted the command contained in his gaze.
'Shall we study together tonight?'
"Okay, I also want to become stronger as soon as possible so that I can help Xiao Yi more."
Evelor nodded vigorously and waved her cute little fist.
So what Hiltina meant by companionship was [audience with the Saint]...
Then he quickly ran to the sofa, lay down on it casually, closed his eyes, and directly entered the stage of [audience with the saint].
Compared to others, including Lloyd, who had to arrange various things and make various preparations before entering this stage, Everole's process seemed a bit too casual.
As casual as looking in a mirror...
However, her [realm of thought] is not as dark as her brother's. Instead, it is very warm and nostalgic, just like the home of her childhood.
And it is a beautified version. The overall texture of various furniture looks soft and fluffy, very girlish and fairy-tale-like.
As soon as Evelor landed, she hurried over and picked up the statue of the saint that was lying on the living room floor.
It's called a saint statue, but both in appearance and feel, it looks more like a furry puppet...
The image is also a two-headed Q version of Hiltina, looking naive and cute, which is similar to the previous "cute Xiao Yi".
Because this is Evelor's [mind field], this statue of the saint must have been based on her own impression. The fact that it is so similar to the puppet designed by Lloyd can only mean that the brother and sister have highly similar aesthetic tastes.
Everole picked up the puppet saint statue, rubbed the puppet's big head with her cheek, and then asked:
"Do you know about Xiao Yi and Miss Wei Ya?"
The puppet saint statue also replied in the form of an order:
"Well, I acquiesced. Because of my physical condition, I can't fulfill my duties as a wife, so I can only give it to that playboy."
"Eh? Xiao Yi is out there... is she very unfaithful?"
"Well... if you weigh it based on his current strength and status, then it's not true, right? But I have always been a very selfish woman. It's only because Wei Ya is a nice person and she's my follower that I made an exception this time... For example, don't even think about that little goblin from the City of Joy!"
"Eh? Little goblin?"
"Yes, an old woman who doesn't know how to behave herself. She's older than me, but as young as a little girl. As soon as we met, she tried every means to seduce my man. Fortunately, I chased her away in time, otherwise she would have succeeded!"
"This...I haven't heard Xiao Yi talk about this yet?"
"That happened a long time ago. That little goblin had a special identity, and I didn't confirm my relationship with him at that time. He hadn't even met me, so I didn't know how to tell you, right?"
"Is that so... eh? That's not right! If that's the case, then Hildeena, you're... stealing my love?"
"Hmm? Why do you think so? I was the first one to come here, wasn't I? Have you forgotten the relationship between us?"
"Wow... that seems to be the case. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now and start studying today, shall we?"
"Okay, then I'll teach you how to inject more spiritual energy into the declaration to enhance its performance."
Evelor then began the learning process.
But because of the previous conversation, I was more or less distracted.
Especially when thinking of Hiltyna's wary attitude towards that 'little goblin'.
This possessiveness is really another self in the world...
Alas... I hope that by then, she can be as tolerant to "herself" as Weiya?
........................
At this moment, Lloyd was swiping the food on the plate with a little embarrassment, trying hard to maintain a normal smile on his face.
When he arrived at Jenkins' residence, the old couple was having a romantic candlelight dinner...
Although they didn't mind and enthusiastically invited Lloyd to join them, Lloyd still inevitably felt a little embarrassed.
I should have brought Wei Ya here earlier...
He was thinking about something random in his mind and stuffed the last bit of grass on the plate into his mouth.
It tastes terrible!
Fortunately, after explaining our purpose to the old couple, the dinner was not too delayed and ended relatively quickly.
Then Old James and Bishop Millie each put on a nice and respectable outfit and took Lloyd to meet the saint.
It was not yet ten o'clock. In the City of Splendor and the City of Joy, this would be the best time to enjoy the nightlife. However, in the Eternal City, there was almost no light in the entire city. Even the street lights were flickering, not as bright as the lights on the carriages.
"We can't help it. Ever since we started to independently prepare for a major development, the energy supply in the city has become unstable."
Bishop Millie sat opposite Lloyd and began to explain.
"Hmm? This shouldn't be the case, right? During the Great Development Period, there should be no shortage of monsters, right? Why is there still a shortage of electricity?"
"This... I'm not sure. I'm not from the Holy Inquisition... But I heard that the recovered monster corpses were not sent to power plants and factories as usual. It seems that they were sent to other places?"
Hiss... Why don't you use the monster corpses to generate electricity and make steel?
Does the Redemption Saint want to live a terrible life?
Lloyd suddenly became alert.
The carriage bounced along the uneven road and stopped in front of a low building after about half an hour.
Lloyd originally thought there was some kind of malfunction, but Bishop Millie said they had arrived at the sanctuary.
ah? That's it?
Lloyd looked at the three-story building in the dark. Not to mention compared with other sanctuaries, it was not even as good as his sister's editorial office?
Isn't the Redeemer's simplicity a bit too much?
But when he followed Bishop Millie in, he found that they were going down instead of up?
Under this small building, there is actually a maze-like underground fortification, which looks like a secret military base.
But it’s not big enough, far smaller than the one below the Brilliant City, so it can only be considered a command center?
