56. Sadhana control

When they got home, the siblings washed up and went to sleep.

As for the little milk cat who is in charge of guarding the house tonight, he has already curled up on the side of Lloyd's pillow and slept soundly.

Until they got up for breakfast the next morning, the siblings were still complaining about the bad experience they had last night.

"It's so boring, what a waste of precious sleep time!"

Everol said angrily, reached out and rubbed her delicate cheeks, and said with a slightly sad sigh:

"If a girl doesn't get enough sleep, she will grow old easily!"

Lloyd almost burst out laughing.

He would rather his sister be a little older......

But not too much, just a little.

But it's normal to ask:

"That Arkham Town, is it a famous place? I see that the flyers that Mr. Butler took out last night were all themed there, and they should be a place with a bad reputation, right? But this is the first time I've heard of it last night......"

As he spoke, he spread chili sauce on the fluffy white bread.

Everol, on the other hand, spread the bread with black pepper sauce and explained:

"It's just that it's very famous in the field of folklore, but folklore is very unpopular and niche, Xiaoyi, you have been concentrating on learning, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Then, she gave Lloyd a brief introduction to the gold content of this town in folklore-

Thirty percent of the submissions she received were Arkham themes.

There are all kinds of stories of men and women crying every day, destroying themselves three times a day on average, destroying the world five times, and getting involved in various conspiracies, disasters, and mysterious events more than ten times.

The inhabitants of the town are dying every day, and the whole town is like a leek field......

But even so, folklore lovers still talk about it, and the topic of whether Arkham is real or not is enduring is even more enduring for a long time.

"Anyway, Mr. Randolph's leaflets, which he collected to help me with some of the work; As for Miss Desda, it was only when she saw the latest occult dress in a magazine that she had the idea to see what Arkham was like......"

In the end, she was disappointed, and she should soon give up her job as a folklorist, right? But I'm going to continue, after all, I'm helping Mr. Randolph. ”

Ephrol added a bit of antecedents and consequences, which can be regarded as the completion of the logical closed loop, and then turned around and asked:

"Xiaoyi, if you are interested there, I have included a few high-quality stories here, do you want to take a look?"

Lloyd originally wanted to refuse, he was a member of the Holy Court, and he was responsible for subduing demons and eliminating demons, and he had nothing to do with any abnormal cases and strange events, it was the matter of the Holy Court.

But after thinking about it, it was not bad to be a pastime to pass the time, and by the way, I also supported my sister's work, so I nodded and agreed.

……………………

As soon as Lloyd arrived at the 18th arrondissement by the 'subway', he heard a violent gasp:

"Ahem, ahem!! cough cough !! ”

Turning her head, Wei Ya was holding on to the wall, coughing and trembling, looking at Chu Chu pitifully.

He hurriedly went over to help, reaching out and stroking Wei Ya's back non-stop.

【Ding~Madness +1】

【Ding~Madness +1】

It wasn't until more than a minute later, after Lloyd couldn't hear the prompt in his ear, that Wei Ya got better, and hurriedly said:

"I'm sorry to show you my gaffe."

"This thing, you should sit less in the future, our rank, there is a special dormitory here, right?"

Out of kindness, Lloyd earnestly persuaded and handed over another tissue.

He has always felt that this subway is really weird, with his current attributes, even the monsters on the -3rd floor can only use their lives to transmit spiritual pollution, and as a result, they are still +50 when they take the subway.

I'm afraid that if the Sage comes, he can +50?

With Wei Ya's original physical fitness, +50 doesn't matter, but she's a little crazy now, so it's best not to come into contact with this strange mental pollution, otherwise I'll have to help her 'clean up' every once in a while.

I can help her by touching her back this time, but where should I touch it next time?

"Thanks, I'll think about it."

Wei Ya took the tissue, wiped the tears coughed up from the corners of her eyes, raised her head again, looked at Lloyd seriously, and then asked:

"You didn't sleep well last night?"

"Yes, it's all because of ......"

Lloyd nodded solemnly, lowered his voice again, and explained:

"I was so captivated by the story that I lost track of time."

As he spoke, he pulled out a few pages of manuscript paper from his pocket, on which was printed a novella about the town of Arkham, and continued:

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"This ...... It seems a little out of order......"

Wei Ya said hesitantly, but still reached out and took the pages of manuscript paper.

This story Lloyd took a general look at on the way to work, and it was quite well written, not a thriller and horror theme, but a positive story describing a pair of male and female colleagues who fought wits and courage with a group of underworld forces in a small town, and finally successfully thwarted each other's conspiracy.

Ephrol has loved this kind of theme since she was a child, and so did Lloyd, so she wanted to share it with Via.

"Well, I'll watch it at my leisure."

Wei Ya finally ate this wave of Amway.

The two went to Tower Nine together, and Lloyd finished his work as usual, then went to the library to borrow books and continue his research on the ritual.

In the afternoon, he finally finished reading the book "Ritual Studies (Introduction)" that he had been reading for three days.

Then came a hint in my ears:

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】

[Obtained enough skill fragments to unlock the skill - Ritual Mastery, LV1]

[Ritual Control (LV1) - Through the knowledge of ritual science that has been mastered, arrange the ritual with corresponding effects; The ritual can be miniaturized without destroying the operating principle; Remote control can be realized by retaining imprints and other methods; Continue your studies to increase your skill level]

There is a line of small print below to add a note:

"There's something wrong here, but why does it work? There is no error here, why can't it be run? ”

Lloyd didn't rush to read the instructions, but first turned his head to stare at the filing cabinet next to him.

After a long while, after confirming that the Sage was still not interested in him today, he whispered:

"It seems that whether it is adding points or gaining skills, it will not be noticed by the sage, it seems that although I don't work hard enough to help me become stronger, it is still quite good in terms of concealment."

After saying that, he began to study this new skill.
