Lloyd held the bell in his hand and was stunned for two or three seconds before he hurriedly said:

"Uh...... Thank you! ”

"Heehe~ No thanks, it's also because you help me finish the work every day, I don't want to owe you a favor......"

Jiu Mengzi still said in that weird tone of yin and yang, and added:

"By the way, every time you use it, you have to give it back to me, and you can't take it home! I'm the worst woman in the world, stingy. ”

"Okay."

Lloyd agreed, and said again:

"Thank you for your help, Metis Senpai."

The other party didn't say anything more, and began to pour 'tons and tons' of wine again.

Lloyd walked out of the library with the bell, and couldn't help but think of all the things that were in the wine.

Although this guy is crazy, he doesn't leave his hands, he speaks in a weird way, it's difficult to communicate, and he always talks about 'the worst woman', but he doesn't have a good figure at all, he is short, and he can't tell the front chest and back.

But when the library was attacked before, she was the first to come forward and stopped Lloyd behind her.

Wei Ya had an accident behind, she also came to visit, and checked hand by hand before leaving.

Later, she also attended her own promotion ceremony, leaving a little unpleasant congratulations.

Finally, today, lend yourself this valuable bell for free......

This is the worst woman in the world?

"You're actually a nice person, right? It's a pity that it has a long mouth......"

Lloyd commented with a smile and decided not to call anyone to drink Mengzi again.

Wait for a chance in the future, see if you can have some physical contact with her to relieve her madness.

In fact, he had asked Wei Ya about Métis before, but Wei Ya only said a few perfunctory words, didn't say much, and never saw the two of them communicate and interact on weekdays, so it was obviously not very good to deal with them.

Forget it, I don't care about women's affairs, let's concentrate on studying and work hard to become stronger.

Lloyd shook his head, and went to the quartermaster office to apply for some cheap ritual materials such as incense, candles, and potions.

Then he returned to the office and began to set up the ritual according to the memory of Williams.

[Concentration and Concentration] can become the most popular ritual at the moment, it must be very easy to use, not to mention that Lloyd also has the help of [Ritual Control], and it will be arranged with ease in three or two efforts.

Lit incense and candles are placed in corresponding directions, and a light blue ink is diluted with a potion containing trace amounts of spirituality, which is used to draw simple patterns on the floor and walls.

Then sprinkle with crumbs from the petals of the Miss Flower and place the bell in the very center of your desk.

Finally, with some reluctance, he opened the deepest compartment of the filing cabinet, and invited out the statue of the saint with only the outline of a maiden, and placed it next to the bell.

This simple set of sadhanas is complete.

Unfortunately, his understanding of this set of rituals is not yet in place, and there is no way to make it portable.

Then, Lloyd adjusted his chair so that he could maintain the most comfortable and relaxed sitting position, and then gently flicked the bell on the table and injected some spiritual power into it.

The whole ritual was set into operation, and the bell spun like a spinning top.

A slight bell rang in Lloyd's head, and his mood relaxed, but his attention became more and more concentrated, and all kinds of distracting thoughts were left behind, and only one thought remained—

Study, study hard, focus on learning!

He then took control of his consciousness, returned to his own realm of thought, and began his first encounter with the Sage

It was still the same apocalyptic scene, dim, desolate, lonely, and the spiral towers still standing, as if they were slowly rotating and writhing in the dim light.

The only thing that could be a little different at Lloyd's feet was the lush meadows, blooming with unnamed blue-and-white wildflowers and dotted with a few coral-like decorations.

Under the influence of the ritual, Lloyd was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he sat down cross-legged and looked up at the nearest double helix tower.

White and dead ash, light gauze and bandage, two colors and two textures, twisted and intertwined like DNA structure, snaking upward.

Lloyd stared at it for a few seconds, then heard two sounds in his ears.

What I heard in my left ear was a soft murmur, somewhat like a female voice, whispering softly in my ear.

What was heard in the right ear was a strange murmur, low, hoarse, indistinct, and revealing a strange smell.

The two voices drifted in his ears, met in his head, and gradually merged into a few words.

This made Lloyd feel a little tingling in his head, but he could bear it, but he didn't sleep well, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Then, the panel also began to join in the fun, and began to sound a prompt:

【Ding~Madness +1】

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】

After more than ten seconds, there was another burst:

【Ding~Madness +1】

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】

Under the interplay of these three voices, Lloyd felt his head become itchy, as if he was about to grow his brain again.

The eardrum was also itchy, as if something was gently scratching.

The skin also began to itch, like a small bug wriggling and crawling.

He began to lose track of time, and he didn't even have the idea of 'studying hard' left in his mind, just greedily accepting the influx of knowledge.

He didn't know how long it had been, until a sharp and piercing bell suddenly rang in his ears, and he opened his eyes violently and returned to reality from the [Realm of Thought].

"Whew~Whew~ It's been three hours?"

Lloyd looked first at his pocket watch, then at his surroundings.

The incense and candles had burned out, the patterns drawn on the walls had dried up and then disappeared, and the bells on the table had stopped spinning and lay there quietly.

And the statue of the sage facing him still only has the outline of a girl's body, without details such as facial features and faces, but it reveals a gentle gaze, looking at him calmly.

Lloyd's originally relaxed mood suddenly became nervous, and his mind involuntarily began to think wildly, should he say hello?

But after two seconds, that gaze was gone.

Lloyd let out a long sigh.

It seems that this time it has been noticed by the Sage again......

But she still didn't seem to notice anything, and her eyes were still so gentle.

This time it's a pass again.

Lloyd hurriedly respectfully put the statue back into the deepest part of the filing cabinet and locked it tightly.

Then he called out the panel and retraced the messy bunch of hints from before.

The madness value is not much, only a dozen points in total, and the mosquitoes are too thin.

Skill fragments have also been added by more than a dozen points, and they are put together into a skill:
