Soon the next day, Lloyd got up earlier than usual, looking full of ambition and extra excited.

After all, it's a big cargo with a danger level of 6, but it's rare to see.

Before leaving, he also called out the panel and took one last look.

My hard work and efforts for many days have come to the time of inspection!

I have passed through 20 years of attributes, I don't know if the demon can catch it?

Lloyd clenched his fists and went out with the kitten.

When he got off the 'subway' and just 'got out of the station', he saw Wei Ya waiting for him at the door, her beautiful face was full of seriousness, and she looked colder than usual, which made the temperature of the early morning a little cooler.

Lloyd wanted to say hello to warm up the scene, but Wei Ya preemptively said:

"Follow me."

Then she took Lloyd to Tower Eight next to Tower Nine—

But it is said to be a 'high tower', in fact, it is only 5 stories high, and the volume is several times smaller, compared with the No. 9 tower next to it, it is like a bean sprout, but on weekdays, the door is always closed, mysterious and mysterious, I don't know what it is for?

Wei Ya led Lloyd to the elevator and went directly to the highest fifth floor, and when she walked out, she saw that it was actually a simple chapel again.

But instead of a statue of a girl with a blurred face, there is a sculpture of a shield?

The very high and heavy tower shield style, with sharp shield thorns inlaid on the surface, looks like a hedgehog, and looks like a battle-hardened and nailed by arrows.

An elderly priest with gray hair and beard walked out of the side, wearing a white robe of a very different style, and waved for Lloyd to come closer to Weiya.

The two of them approached and stood side by side in front of the old priest.

"In the name of protection, may the two of you move forward hand in hand, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of hardships, and never give up......"

The old priest muttered in a low voice, and then took out a small toy shield the size of a palm from his bosom, and handed it to the two opposites.

"If it shatters, retreat immediately, but don't abandon the other party, or you will suffer a backlash."

Lloyd reached out and took the small tower shield, looked at it carefully, and felt that it was exuding a reassuring power, as if it could protect himself at a critical moment.

It doesn't feel like the power of the [veto] system, it should be the [protection] from the City of Pleasure, right? So this is supposed to be a blessing ceremony?

Now that humanity is in the context of unity, it is normal for the transcendents of the City of Pleasure to come here to help.

It's just that......

I always feel like there's something wrong with this atmosphere? Especially the prayers that the old pastor recited, always felt weird?

Lloyd was suspicious in his heart, scratched his head again, and secretly glanced at Wei Ya beside him.

She looked as usual, but she still didn't say a word, didn't even say thank you, turned around and left, looking very rude.

It was Lloyd who said thank you.

The old priest nodded, and replied:

"You're welcome, but please remember my advice and never abandon the other person, no matter what the situation."

Belch...... Can you stop using this kind of language that sounds misleading? It's going to give people a false impression!

Lloyd sneered in his heart, and hurriedly left, chasing Weiya.

Then he found that Wei Ya really didn't wait for him at all, and actually went down the elevator alone?

If you say yes, you can't abandon each other?

Lloyd had to wait for another lift......

When he walked out of the No. 8 tower, he found Wei Ya waiting outside, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she explained:

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else."

As he spoke, he returned to his old seriousness and explained:

"The execution of high-risk monsters needs to rely on the blessing of [Protection] to ensure safety, but the shelter system is a bit special, and the more people who receive the blessing, the stronger the effect will be...... But it is also necessary to bear the corresponding responsibility, and must not abandon and betray the comrades-in-arms, otherwise they will suffer serious backlash. ”

Lloyd nodded and replied:

"Don't worry, I won't leave you."

Wei Ya was stunned for a moment, a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.

But in the end, he chose to remain silent and didn't say anything.

……………………

To get to the -6th floor, you need to take a special elevator, which is set up in a corner where no idlers are allowed to approach.

Lloyd asked the little milk cat to wait for him on the first floor, and then followed Wei Ya into the elevator.

She still didn't say a word, still uneasy, and only the click of gears could be heard in the narrow elevator room, spreading a layer of solemn tension.

Lloyd thought for a moment and broke the silence with a hard head:

"It's just a suppressed monster, we're sure we'll win!"

Wei Ya was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, with the suppression of the ritual and the blessing of [Protection], you only need to assist me to strip out its vital organs as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she picked up the toy tower shield in her hand again and continued to add:

"If you suddenly have symptoms such as dizziness and confusion, you can use the shield spur above to create pain to keep you awake; If something worse happens, plunge the shield into your skin, and the potion stored inside will automatically inject into you. ”

It turns out that this thing looks like a toy, and there is another mystery? No wonder the shield spikes on the surface are so piercing......

Lloyd nodded, wrote down Wei Ya's words, and then said in a ghostly manner:

"May your path ahead be starry."

This is a greeting he learned in the manual, and it is said that it should only be used on very serious occasions.

When Wei Ya heard this, her eyes were slightly stunned, and she looked speechless.

It wasn't until the elevator stopped that she held back a sentence:

"Don't use this greeting indiscriminately in the future!"

Belch...... Doesn't it turn out to be suitable for this kind of occasion?

Lloyd stepped out of the elevator with an embarrassed expression.

-The layout and style of the 6th floor are somewhat unexpected, even though it is deep underground, it is brighter and more spacious than the ground, clean and tidy, and does not have the appearance of a prison cell.

It's just that on the walls, on the ground, and in the corners, you can see all kinds of patterns and imprints, which together form a set of large-scale rituals.

Lloyd could clearly feel that there was an invisible, slimy layer in the air that was enveloping him, making him feel slightly uncomfortable and frowning slightly.

Wei Ya was the same, her breathing began to rapid, so that Lloyd could hear it clearly.

They didn't get far from the elevator before they came to the outside of the target cell.

"Gear up."

Wei Ya reminded in a low voice, pulling out the long, narrow straight knife from her waist, the same one she used to save Lloyd last time, and her other hand tightly grasped the toy tower shield.

Lloyd drew his short sword and nodded at her.

Wei Ya took a deep breath and pushed open the cell door in front of her.

In an instant, the two of them felt an invisible force rushing towards them.

Lloyd suddenly heard a muffled 'buzzing' sound in his ears, and a tingling sensation came from his eardrum and skin at the same time, making his brain dizzy slightly.

At the same time, I felt that the hand holding the toy tower shield suddenly became slimy?

He looked down.

The entire toy shield had been shattered into pieces, and the pale blue potion hidden inside was sticking to his hands.
