61. Embodied stories

After dealing with the 'sister' in front of him with his own hands, Lloyd felt a feeling of 'awakening' welling up in his brain, and the last bit of confusion in his brain also dissipated.

Without the need for explanations, he quickly figured out the cause and effect himself, and then closed his eyes again and tried to open the panel in his mind.

Unsurprisingly, the panel did not appear, indicating that although his mind had recovered, his body was still in a state similar to a coma or confusion, and the panel could not be opened at this time.

Lloyd felt like he was in that 'ghost press' state right now, his brain had awakened, but his body was still asleep.

He shook his head, revealing that feeling of helplessness, and said in as calm a tone as possible, neither humble nor arrogant:

"Is this the power of manifestation? Thank you for letting me see for a long time, but ...... It's almost okay, right? ”

"Mr. Randolph......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and felt his vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself still sitting in the high-end black steam car, and in the driver's seat next to him was the 'initiator' of everything before, Randolph the butler.

The seats in the back row were empty, and there were no sisters and sisters Desda.

Lloyd froze, calling out to the panel in his heart.

This time it was finally normal, the panel opened normally, and his attributes and status were listed, allowing Lloyd to confirm that this time he had really woken up.

He turned his head to look at Randolph beside him, and even though he had a thousand words in his heart, there was only a helpless wry smile on his face.

He really minded people making fun of his sister.

Although what he experienced before didn't hurt him in any way, and he didn't catch any [madness value], he was still very unhappy in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was old, he was still Miss Daisda's housekeeper, and he was a seventh-order powerhouse, Lloyd would have given him some strength.

Randolph, the butler, still had that calm expression on his face, closed the pocket watch in his hand, and proposed:

"How about a drink?"

Lloyd looked out the window, and the steam car was parked in front of a very atmospheric tavern, not far from his lodgings.

He hesitated for a second, but nodded and accepted the other party's invitation, just snorting coldly in his heart:

Hum! For Miss Desda's sake, I won't be as knowledgeable as you, after all, I am also a moral young man who respects the old and loves the young.

The two of them went to the box on the second floor of the tavern and asked for two glasses of light fruit wine, and the butler said very sincerely:

"First of all, allow me to apologize to you and hope you will forgive me for my previous offense."

"Okay, I don't mind, but I wonder why?"

Lloyd replied.

The seventh-order powerhouses are all in such a low profile, what else can he say?

"I want to hire you as my assistant to assist me with a ritual that will be in about 60 days...... And what you've been through before is to see if you can protect yourself in the process. ”

The housekeeper directly stated the purpose, opened the pocket watch in his hand, and commented:

"Your previous excellent performance far exceeded my expectations, which was a big surprise for me."

Lloyd hurriedly replied modestly:

"Uh...... You've won a prize, and I've always been good at surprising people. ”

The housekeeper was stunned, and stopped talking for a few seconds before he turned around and said:

"I will provide you with a good reward - when this is done, I will be paid with a core material for the fifth [detachment] of the [veto] system, or something else of its equivalent."

As he spoke, he put a notebook on the table between the two of them, and briefly introduced:

"This is the deposit in the early stage, and it is a summary of some of my superficial experience."

The big guy's notes? That's good stuff!

Lloyd's heart skipped a beat.

Through the notebook of the previous presiding judge, he knew very well that the experience and experience of these high-ranking and powerful people were precious things, which could save newcomers from many detours and avoid many dangers and troubles.

Using this as a deposit, it can be said that it is full of sincerity, and as for the follow-up part, it is even more heavyweight.

Every time a transcendent person [transcends], he needs the help of a specific ritual, and the materials required to arrange the rituals are becoming more and more expensive and troublesome, and they often encounter situations where money cannot buy them.

What's more, the fifth order is an important watershed between the high and low positions, and the core materials required must be invaluable.

The butler's remuneration was indeed rich, but the more this happened, the more Lloyd hesitated.

I'm afraid it's not so simple for the seventh-order boss to let himself help, but this reward is really too tempting......

Even if you don't need it for the time being, it's a good idea to exchange it for something of other equivalent value.

After some thought, Lloyd asked:

"Of course I'm willing to help you, just ...... This ceremony you are talking about ......"

"Don't worry, it's not for you to fight people or monsters, just to assist me as an assistant...... More specifically, you'll know when the time comes. ”

After saying this, the butler began to quietly taste the low-alcohol fruit wine in his hand, and did not explain more, waiting patiently for Lloyd to consider it himself.

But Lloyd only hesitated for two minutes before reaching out and picking up the notes on the table.

Anyway, it's not for him to act tomorrow, isn't there still two months left? Work hard by yourself and let the panel work together, this single job may not be able to be accepted.

It just so happens that you can turn pressure into motivation, and if you don't push yourself, you don't know where the limit of the panel is.

"Good!"

The butler nodded with satisfaction, and praised again:

"As Miss said, you never disappoint."

Lloyd put the notebook close to his body first, and then asked:

"What I just went through...... Is it some kind of illusion? Dreamland? ”

"No, it's a [story] that I [embodied], but it's not a specific [story], but a story that everyone who enters into it will subconsciously believe......"

"For example, a diligent young man will believe in an inspirational story; And an outlaw who licks blood from the knife will believe in a story of the end of the world. ”

The housekeeper gave a brief explanation.

Lloyd nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, so I was in a dream, and I didn't realize it when I encountered so many abnormal and illogical things...... It's because I love the adventures of those two reporters and I'm willing to believe it. ”

"You can understand it this way, it's a really good story, and I've seen it, and I've been very impressed."

The butler said, and commented on Lloyd's performance:

"What you really value to me is that I can realize that I am in the [story] in a very short period of time, and try to start cracking it, and even the two young ladies I have manifested have been recognized by you, and they don't act like the first glimpse who has just completed the [enlightenment]......"

"You know, the [story] that I embodied with my own hands, even many high-ranking transcendents will be trapped in it."

"No wonder Your Excellency Tirtus thinks so highly of you, you are truly gifted with mystery and transcendence."

Lloyd scratched his head a little shyly, and replied with a real humility:

"Thank you, but you really won the award this time, and my situation at that time was not easy."
