Chapter 149 148

Lloyd put down the pen, and the last thing he wrote down on the paper was the part of the recognition of the [veto] system, and did not write down the thoughts and associations that followed.

"So be it."

He nodded and put his notebook away.

Just then, he heard a knock at the door.

When I opened the door, there was a dark crack in the space, and a cardboard-like arm stretched out from inside, and a letter was handed over to it, on which was the familiar ghostly handwriting of the butler.

"Thank you."

Lloyd took the letter and said it politely.

The cardboard arm raised three fingers and made an 'OK' gesture at him before retracting into the spatial rift.

Lloyd returned to his office, scratching his head as he struggled to decipher the contents of the letter.

Presumably that now that she is safe, Lloyd can go home, and the same is true for Ephrol, who is safe and doesn't have to worry.

It's just that when Ms. Landis picked her up two days ago, she used the excuse that Lloyd was away on business, so she sent a special letter to string up a confession.

The letter did not mention the adviser and the encirclement and suppression operation that followed, so I wonder if the housekeeper knew about it?

Finally, the housekeeper also left his current contact information-

Draw a specific pattern with spiritual ink of any quality, and then mobilize spiritual power, tap lightly at a specific frequency, the pattern will change, and then hand the letter to the outstretched arm.

Feeling like it's fun?

But Lloyd was more interested in the cardboard arm, which was supposed to be some kind of unique creature? I don't know if it's the housekeeper [manifested]?

When will I be able to learn this kind of 'bigwig' way of sending and receiving letters?

Lloyd smiled, got up and went to the library to borrow a book.

Although the presiding judge arranged for him to have a good rest today, how could he rest in peace after seeing last night's battle?

The transcendent way, no slack!

In the afternoon, however, Lloyd left a little early.

Then I took the 'subway' to the department store near my home.

I haven't seen my sister for two days, and it's the first time I've been separated for so long since I crossed, so I have to prepare a little gift for my sister.

So he first bought some of his sister's favorite desserts, and then under the recommendation of the shopping guide, he bought a jade hairpin worth hundreds of general coins, the style of the leaves, emerald green, although the materials are average, but the workmanship is quite good, very artistic.

After wrapping the gifts, Lloyd came home from the department store, and on the way to the club, he made a trip and asked the manager about the University of Mitzkatok.

"Oh? The information about that place is of the same value as the 'Dream Theater', so do you want to inquire about it? ”

"Keep an eye on me."

"No problem, I'd be happy to serve a valued member like you."

After leaving the club, Lloyd happened to pass by the second-hand book market opposite, and saw the young painter who had sold his own paintings, painting portraits of a couple.

It seems that his paintings are selling again, which is good.

Lloyd had not intended to disturb the business, but the painter had discovered him first, so he asked the guest to wait a moment, and then quickly chased after him, and stopped Lloyd.

"Hello, do you remember me?"

"Of course, the previous painting has been hung in my office."

Lloyd nodded.

"That's great, thank you for recognizing my work!"

The young painter immediately laughed excitedly, and continued:

"Thanks to your generosity, I got through the most difficult two days, and I've sold a few more paintings these days, which are much better than before, so if you don't dislike it, I'd like to give you a free painting, but I don't know what theme you want?"

Lloyd was not hypocritical, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Knives, swords, cold weapons and the like, right? It doesn't need to be complicated, just be simple and realistic. ”

The command knife in his office that was hung on the wall as a decoration was taken away by the 'Big Brother' Grand Judge, causing the wall to be empty, just in need of something to hang.

If you want to buy a knife with the same craftsmanship and quality, and with the effect of the Psionic Blade, starting with six figures, where is Lloyd willing to spend this unjust money, hang the painting.

"Okay, no problem, but I don't have a similar work on my hands, can you wait for me for two days? I'll draw it for you as soon as I can. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just don't delay your serious creation."

The two chatted like this, the painter went back to continue painting, Lloyd continued to go home, and when he passed by the vegetable market near his home, he bought some fresh ingredients and prepared to cook them himself tonight.

After making a tinkling in the kitchen, like the sound of a blacksmith's shop, he brought out four dishes of ingenuity—

Spicy fish head baked cake, crab stew with onion and sour bamboo shoots, stir-fried potatoes with cucumber, braised vermicelli with eggplant broccoli.

Two meat and two vegetables, balanced nutrition, complement each other.

As for the little milk cat's dinner, it is also rich, cucumber skin, potato skin, eggplant skin mixed with yogurt, I hope it will get strong as soon as possible.

And Ephrol came back early tonight, as expected.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her brother who had come to greet her, and the food that had been laid on the table, and immediately choked up, and twitched her cute little nose vigorously.

Then he threw himself into Lloyd's arms and rubbed his cheek against his chest.

With the height difference between the two, she had to stand on tiptoe in white stockings to let her heels break free from the shackles of her leather shoes, revealing a touch of roundness wrapped in stockings and pink flesh inside.

"Woo...... Xiao Yi ......"

It seems that Ephrol is even more uncomfortable with the separation of the two days than Lloyd.

After all, it was the first time that I had been separated for so long since I was a child......

After rubbing for a while, Everol raised her head again, her lovely face still stained with tears, but she showed a sweet smile of relief, and then stretched out her little hand, held Lloyd's face, and dragged it in front of her.

Lloyd had no choice but to bend down, getting closer and closer to his sister's childish and cute face.

Ephrol narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, revealing a particularly charming expression, and she was getting closer and closer to her brother's handsome face.

Then, she pressed her forehead hard against Lloyd's forehead and rubbed it again, reliving the intimacy of her childhood.

But that's all there is to it, and the siblings soon separate again, laughing separately.

After a warm dinner, the siblings huddled together on the sofa, each holding a pair of boxes in their hands.

In the box in Evrol's hand contained Lloyd's newly bought jade hairpin; In the box in Lloyd's hand was the delicate lavalier that Everol had bought for him.

The sister and brother thought of a piece very tacitly, and they both prepared small gifts for each other.

Everol couldn't help but play with the jade hairpin, maintaining a duck sitting posture, her legs in white stockings exposed outside the skirt, and the milky white and delicate texture always inadvertently attracted Lloyd's attention.

"It's so beautiful, thank you Xiaoyi, can you help my sister put it on?"

She suddenly begged again.

"Okay."

Lloyd took the hairpin from his sister and pinned it to her forehead in the upper right.

"Hehe, is my sister good-looking?"

Ephrol asked in a whisper, narrowing her eyes again, revealing that mature and charming smile, which formed a unique contrast with her childish appearance.

"It's good-looking, my sister is the best-looking."

Lloyd nodded vigorously.

Everol suddenly became triumphant again, and replied:

"Uh-huh~ My Xiaoyi is also the most handsome, so when you go out on business this time, do any girls come over to talk to you?"

Lloyd felt that his sister seemed to be very concerned about this issue, and always asked if he knew the girl, whether he had talked to the girl or anything, probably hoping that he could get married and start a family earlier, right?

But Lloyd chose to deny it most of the time, and this time was no exception.

"It's all trivial official business, and I ask for secrecy or something...... By the way, sister, how are your magazines? ”

Ephrol furrowed her slender eyebrows, and the childishness on her body disappeared in an instant, and she suddenly switched to the form of 'editor-in-chief', looking a little worried.

"It's still the same as before, and the sales are not bad, right? Readers' feedback was also encouraged, but they still didn't dare to print too much, and there were no more bookstores and newsstands willing to order, so it was difficult to increase sales......

I also mentioned this to Miss Desda two days ago, and she just said that she would increase the investment, increase the publicity, and prepare to sign the check as she spoke, but I still refused, I didn't want to owe her any more, and I still wanted to settle it on my own. ”

Lloyd also nodded and replied:

"Indeed, Miss Desda has helped us a lot...... By the way, how is she doing? ”

"She is now a tourism consultant and wants to follow the trend of big development and expand some tourism business."

Ephrol replied with a smile in her eyes.

"Tourism Real Estate...... Forget it, it doesn't matter, she won't be able to do it for long anyway. ”

Lloyd said, then re-proposing:

"Sister, if you need money over there, I'll support you first?"

"Huh? No, no, no! ”

Everol waved her hand quickly, and she was about to wave out the afterimage.

"I've heard Ms. Lantis mention that the extraordinaries are short of money, aren't they? I've seen her worrying about bills in the past two days, so I should be here to support Xiaoyi, but the magazine is just getting started, and the profit it can make is not enough......"

"It's okay sister, don't worry about me, I can make money."

"Hehe, then Xiaoyi doesn't have to worry about me, I will work hard to make money."

The siblings talked together and laughed together.

"By the way, Xiao Yi, I have a few new stories here that are ready to be published next month, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay."

Ephrol took some manuscript paper from her satchel and handed it to Lloyd.

As a result, I didn't expect the title of the first article alone to instantly attract Lloyd.

"Two or Three Things I Happened at Mizkatok University"
