55. Is there anything special about that place?
According to the brief introduction in the book, the fifth, seventh, and ninth orders are the three stages of the most qualitative change of the transcendent.
After reaching the fifth order, the life span of the transcendent can be greatly extended, and the shackles of the mortal lifespan can be freed, so it is called 'transcendence';
After reaching the seventh order, the transcendent will no longer be confined to the original life form, so it is called 'ascending';
As for the Ninth Order, it is needless to say.
"I'm sure you'll come to my point in the future, but it's better not to choose my way."
The butler continued, striking a posture with his hands on his hips, and then raised his hands upward.
His entire upper body floated like this, and the rest of his lower body sat upright, but when he looked closely, it was just an empty pair of pants.
Someone can really lift themselves?
Lloyd's eyes widened.
He didn't quite understand what it meant to be 'no longer stuck to the original life form', until he saw the 'magic' performed by the butler, and he realized something.
This is probably a high-ranking boss, right? You don't need props to perform the big saw.
Lloyd turned his head to look at his sister and Desda next to him.
The two of them were still reading fashion magazines, and they didn't care about the housekeeper's 'performance' at all, as if they had known about it for a long time.
"Scaring you?"
The butler asked with a smile, and then 'picked up' himself back, and corrected himself, and then continued:
"It's more popular in the City of Illusion, but it's actually not a very good choice, and it will bring a lot of trouble."
"City of Vanity...... Are you the embodiment of the system? So why are you here? ”
Lloyd hurriedly asked, already consciously using the honorific title.
"It's just a helpless move."
The butler shook his head and didn't explain specifically.
Lloyd naturally didn't ask, and then said:
"You're in such a state...... Reminds me of our presiding judge of the 18th district, who, like you, is a kind elder. ”
"I think you're talking about Lord Tirtus, right? Indeed, he was as kind and enthusiastic as you described, and at the same time a scholar of great repute, known for his generosity in sharing his knowledge. ”
After listening to the butler's words, Lloyd knew the real name of the presiding judge for the first time, and it was also the first time that he felt his strength, and he must also be an extremely powerful boss to be praised by the seventh-order boss like this.
I don't dare to say that he is not a human or a ghost in the future......
After that, Lloyd tried to ask the butler a few questions, all of which were about divination and rituals, which were his current shortcomings.
The other party looked like he knew everything, but he had a good grasp of the proportions, and he was talking about the knowledge that could be found in the library.
It's more like a discussion than a consultation.
Finally, the housekeeper also admonished very seriously:
"Only knowledge from the Sage is truly safe, and if I have a bad mind for you in a discussion like ours today, I am afraid that you will be unknowingly affected by all kinds of unpredictable ......"
Lloyd nodded vigorously and replied:
"Thank you for your advice, I'll always keep it in mind."
As he spoke, Miss Desda's voice suddenly came from beside her:
"Lloyd, Uncle Randolph, have you ever heard of 'Arkham Town'?"
Hiss~ This name doesn't sound like a good place, does it?
Lloyd sneered and shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of it.
But the butler's reaction was very strange, as if by magic, he took out a large handful of advertising leaflets from his coat pocket, and then asked:
"It's all about the tourism promotion of 'Arkham Town', is Miss interested in learning about it?"
Desda hurriedly approached and took a few leaflets and looked at them.
Lloyd also took one and glanced at it, and it had a whole bunch of exclamation marks written in bells and whistles:
"Amazing Sale!! Only 999!! It will allow you to experience the deepest horror and horror of human beings!! If you are a true lover of the occult, you should definitely not miss it!! ”
It's outrageous, yes, someone dares to do this kind of business?
As a hot-blooded young man full of justice, Lloyd said that he would never tolerate this kind of thing, and hurriedly glanced at the specific address, planning to go to support justice in a while-
With the anonymous letter of justice, the sanctions for this wrongdoing will be laid!
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard his sister's voice beside him:
"Uh......h Feeling horrible? ”
Ephrol didn't know when she stuck to his side, grabbed his arm with both hands, and said in a pitiful tone:
"I definitely don't dare to go ...... alone"
Lloyd looked down at the expression on his sister's face.
It sounds scary, but you look like you're eager to try, right?
What's even more terrifying is that the folklorist Daisda is also very interested, and immediately picks out a flyer.
'Looks good here?' Ingenuity to create the most authentic Arkham trip for you', shall we go now? ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Ephrol with one hand and Lloyd with the other, intending to set off immediately.
Lloyd hurriedly turned his head and gave the butler an inquiring look.
The other party had a smile on his face, as if to say:
Don't be afraid, just wave.
……………………
"Uh......h So sleepy...... I can't walk......"
When she returned downstairs to her house, Everol drooped her eyes, the dull hair on her head hung listlessly, and she spoke softly, as if she would fall asleep in the next second.
Lloyd was also sleepy, but he still bent down in his heart, put his sister's petite body on his back, and began to climb the stairs.
"Hee-hee, Xiao Yi is so good......"
Everol lay on Lloyd's back, squinting her eyes and gently rubbing her cheek against Lloyd's back.
What is the 'most real Arkham journey', in fact, is a clumsy secret room, the props and sets are completely distracted, the actors are passive and slack, and the decryption process is even more boring, and I want to sleep after not playing for long.
It should be called 'The Most Sleepy Arkham Tour'.
It's no wonder that Randolph, the butler, didn't say anything, probably because he knew it for a long time, right?
Thankfully, Miss Desda paid for it......
But then again, why are there so many 'Arkham'-themed haunted houses and secret rooms?
Is that what is it famous for? Why haven't you heard of it in the newspapers or on the radio?
Lloyd pondered a little.
Also, why do housekeepers collect these leaflets? With his status, there's no reason to do such a thing, right?
But he was too sleepy at the moment, and he didn't think much about it.
What's more, it's better not to think about the thoughts of high-ranking bosses......
