84. The watch must be broken
Chapter 85 84
Tens of thousands of expenses like Lloyd's today are nothing for an enterprising transcendent, and they are still at the level of 'light consumption'.
There are more places to burn money in the back, and the higher the rank, the more expensive it is, so expensive that even a strong person of the level of the chief judge is reminding young people to remember to save money.
Unless you are willing to lie down with peace of mind, have enough patience to apply and wait, and wait for the above to be slowly issued.
Lloyd didn't have the patience to wait for a year and a half, and as a progressive young man with a higher education, he naturally wanted to take the initiative into his own hands.
So he needs to make money, make a lot of money, and the White Knight's modification plan is a good opportunity.
He even thought about the specific plan, and it was definitely not as simple as selling the formula.
Of course, it is still necessary to wait for the specific verification of the effectiveness and feasibility of the new scheme before considering the follow-up.
Andrew promised to deliver to his door within three days, and he had to be patient and wait.
So Lloyd went to the library again, intending to continue studying the [Reverse Divination] that he had not learned yesterday
Métis reappeared in her favorite administrator position today, still drunk and asleep on her desk early in the morning.
Lloyd didn't want to disturb her, but just as he happened to pass by, he saw Métis's hand move, and a bell appeared on the table that could make an automatic sound.
Lloyd smiled, but still accepted the kindness of others, although he didn't plan to [meet the Sage] today, but it was also excellent to use it to read and study.
So I borrowed the books I wanted to read back to the office, and then arranged the rituals with ease, and started today's study.

【Ding~Skill Fragment +1】
【Ding~ Enough skill fragments have been obtained, skill level increase, divination LV3→LV4】
Divination has been upgraded to another level, in addition to the original [Simple Divination] and [Medium Divination] have become stronger again, and of course there is more [Reverse Divination] that I just learned
It's just that the black knight has been stuffed into an anonymous letter by him, and this new feature is not needed yet.
You can try the enhanced effect of [Media Divination] to see your sister's state.
Lloyd then took out the quaint pocket watch, wound it up for a small half-turn, and waited for the three hands to turn two or three times, and stopped.
"Hmm...... The results tend to be 'positive', 'busy', 'scrappy', and ...... Hey? ”
The three hands, which had been frozen, suddenly began to rotate irregularly, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and the speed was even faster to draw an afterimage.
It took several seconds for the three hands to stop and return to their previous positions.
Lloyd frowned, reaching out and rubbing his chin.
This is clearly some kind of omen, and this is the first time that this additional omen has been triggered when using Medium Divination.
How should this be interpreted? My sister is so busy that she can't remember the time? ”
"That's not right...... Interpreting the omen should be associated in an optimistic direction, maybe my sister is in a happy and happy state, feeling that time flies? ”
"It's not right, it doesn't seem to be right......"
Lloyd tried to interpret this omen, trying very hard to associate it in an optimistic direction, but he couldn't convince himself, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious and worried he became.
Fortunately, he quickly realized the problem, shook his head vigorously, and forced himself to calm down.
"No, I've committed two taboos in divination, I'm too impatient, and I'm too concerned about the accuracy of the results......"
"As for the omens...... It must be a broken watch! ”
As he spoke, he stood up, pinned the most handy dagger-type psionic blade to his waist, thought about it again, turned around and took off the command knife hanging on the wall as an ornament, and prepared to go to the editorial office to have a look.
Instead of believing in the occult means of divination, it is better to confirm it with your own eyes.
Lloyd hurried to Wei Ya's office and said hello, saying that he was going out to find advanced ritual materials.
"Well, stay safe."
Wei Ya reminded her, she didn't doubt him, and she didn't stop her.
The position of the executioner, as long as he has completed his daily work, or someone else has helped him to complete his job, the rest of the time is drunk like Métis and no one cares.
"Meow meow!"
The little milk cat that was rolling around and selling cuteness next to him also came to his senses, and hurriedly waved his little paw at Lloyd, signaling to bring it.
Lloyd then stuffed the kitten into his pocket and hurried to Everol's editorial office.
Relying on the help of the 'advanced subway', he soon arrived at the old Huaishu Street in Nancheng District.
This is an old street with a lot of life, and now it is time for a meal, and there are more pedestrians on the street, and there is an attractive fragrance everywhere.
Lloyd followed the sign, quickly found a small three-story building, and then found an office on the second floor, just in time to see his sister buried in the desk.
Then he suddenly raised his head and stroked the stupid hair standing on the top of his head.
"Huh? How weird? ”
Ephrol tilted her head slightly, revealing a cute look of confusion, and then turned her head to look again.
"Xiao Yi? What are you doing here? ”
"I miss you suddenly, so I came over to have a look, and I just wanted to visit your editorial office."
Lloyd said, walking into the slightly cramped office.
In fact, the area here was originally quite wide, but there were too many things to pile up, and there were bookshelves and filing cabinets plus a few storage cabinets, and in the end only five workstations were left.
And except for Everol's workstation, which was neatly tied, the remaining workstations were piled with disorganized pages, which made people feel upset when they looked at it.
In addition to this, I smelled incense, and I saw common ritual components such as wooden boxes, small mirrors, and lit candles in the corners.
The exact function is unknown, but the results of the Inspiration Expedition indicate that there is no danger and a defensive tendency, which appears to be the work of the new security advisor, Ms. Landis.
"Why is my sister alone here?"
Lloyd asked again, and then activated [Probe]
Ephrol's stats have not changed much.
It seems that the previous omen is really just a broken watch?
However, this kind of thing should be forward-looking and predictable......
"They've all gone to eat."
Ephrol said, laughing happily again, and leaned closer to Lloyd.
"Well, let's go to dinner too, shall we? There are several great shops in the area. ”
The two went to a nearby restaurant, and when the food was served, Ephrol hesitated a little, and then asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Yi, are you over there...... Bullied? ”
Lloyd didn't expect her to ask this at all, and quickly explained:
"Huh? How can it be? I'm just worried about people complaining that I'm bullying them. ”
"But...... Xiao Yi, you suddenly came to me......"
"Sister, don't think too much, I really just came to take a look, I just don't have any work today, I'm relatively idle."
"Hmmm......"
Evrol nodded, not asking any further questions.
It was only those big emerald green eyes that noticed Lloyd's command knife leaning against the wall.
After the meal, Lloyd said that he wanted to know more about his sister's work, and Evrol took him back to the editorial office.
As a result, as soon as they reached the staircase on the first floor, the sister and brother suddenly stopped.
"Huh? The atmosphere here seems to be a little ......."
Everol furrowed her slender eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to go upstairs.
But Lloyd's movements were one step faster, stopping in front of her.
"Leave it to me, sister, you go to the Holy Inquisition Church on the west corner, and ask the priest and priest there to come as soon as possible."
Everol didn't entangle or drag her feet, nodded decisively, and just reminded:
"Okay, Xiaoyi, you must be careful, if you see the candle in the corner of the wall extinguished, don't stay long, you must leave immediately!"
With that, he staggered and ran in the direction of the church.
Lloyd carried a short sword and a command knife, slightly exuding a little inspiration, lingering around him, and then step by step, cautiously went upstairs.
At the same time, he also called out the panel, always paying attention to the prompts.
Even the kitten got out of his pocket and crawled all the way over his head, helping to keep an eye on his surroundings.
It was now afternoon, which should have been the most abundant time period, and the doors and windows of this small building were also open, and the lighting was excellent, but the light seemed to be blocked by something invisible, making the whole building dark.
Lloyd's inspiration kept tingling slightly, like a chili pepper on his skin, representing an unsettling atmosphere in the air.
As he walked up the stairs, the spiciness grew heavier.
But his naked eye didn't find anything, and there was no hint from the panel, indicating that there was at least no strong mental pollution in the air.
Lloyd went to his sister's editorial office first, stood outside the door, and observed.
On the four already messy workstations inside, there were four young people, two men and two women, who seemed to be taking a lunch break.
Lloyd knocked the door with the handle of his knife.
No response......
He glanced again at the white candle in the corner.
Unsurprisingly, it has been extinguished.
Lloyd didn't go in, and he didn't plan to wake up his sister's four subordinates.
He didn't know what it would be to wake up......
Lloyd turned to look at the other offices in the hallway.
This small building is full of small corporate institutions, many industries, accounting firms, logistics companies, cosmetics agents, etc.
The door of every office is open, and there are people sleeping on their stomachs, as if everyone has a good habit of taking a lunch break.
After looking at the second floor, Lloyd still didn't notice anything unusual, so he continued to the third floor.
It wasn't until his inspiration suddenly showed a noticeable sting that he stopped.
When I looked up, it was an 'antique' shop, with various tools and a batch of unfinished 'antiques' scattered inside.
The first chapter will be updated, and the second will be sent a little later
