190. A strange disease?
Chapter 191 190.A Strange Disease?
Lloyd stopped talking for a while, and finally held back a sentence:
"You guy...... I want to have a serious discussion with you! ”
"Oooo Angry? Hee-hee, I'm really sorry, a bad woman like me just likes to people off...... Okay, okay, I won't tease you, no matter what you want to discuss, this is not a suitable place, so you don't worry about being seen by Wei Ya? ”
Métis was still so weird, and then motioned for Lloyd to follow, then opened his legs and walked outside Tower Nine.
My Wei Ya is not such a stingy woman!
Lloyd shouted in his heart, and for the sake of borrowing the bell on weekdays, he still stubbornly followed Metis's footsteps.
But then again, this guy wears a dirty white coat every day, and his figure can't be seen at all, but when he walks, his slender waist is twisted and looks good, like a beautiful poisonous snake writhing and dancing.
It's just a pity that this guy gets himself drunk most of the time and rarely walks normally like this.
Soon, the two found a bench outside Tower Nine where no one was around.
As a result, Métis took the lead, and his petite and delicate body sat in the middle of the bench, directly occupying the entire chair, not letting Lloyd sit beside him.
This is indeed in line with the style of a 'bad woman'......
Then, she poured a few sips of 'ton~ton~ton~', and then asked:
"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Lloyd had no choice but to stand on the edge of the bench, talk about the failure of the ritual, and the previous 'talk of experience' from Quartermaster Andrew, and finally ask:
"Have you ever been in a situation where it fails these days? Is there any danger? How was it handled at that time? ”
"Oh, you really have a lot of questions? I really don't know how that guy Wei Ya puts up with you on weekdays, but ...... Hmph~ Are you caring about me? Then I'll be a little moved, after all, I'm a bad woman......"
Métis was still cynical, poured a few more sips of wine, and then said:
"I've had two failures, but it's not serious, and it can be solved with a bit of agility, huh? Why are you looking at me like that? You don't think that a monster on the 3rd floor can really stump me, right? I'm just afraid of trouble......"
"However, I also agree with the priest's opinion, the existence of high-ranking powerhouses is not just as simple as providing combat power...... Hee-hee, don't reminisce, it's all not in the books. ”
Métis's eyes and face have always been covered by the seaweed-like messy hair, which others can't see at all, but she seems to have a pair of keen 'drunk eyes', even if she is already a little dizzy from drinking, she can still catch the change in Lloyd's expression.
So every time she stares at her, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable, as if they have been targeted by poisonous snakes.
"Why don't you write that in the book?"
Lloyd asked, a little confused.
"Who knows? Maybe I don't think it's important, maybe I wrote it but I didn't see it, after all, I'm just a bad woman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, but I don't work as hard as you. ”
Métis shook her head and said.
But don't look at what she said, but according to Lloyd's previous [probe] results, her stats actually swelled again:
[Target: Metis]
[Status: Mild insane]
[Rationality: 70]
[Spiritual Power: 69]
[Inspiration: 42]
[Cognitive: 55]
This increase is at the same level as his sister Evral.
Lloyd felt that the two of them were really outrageous, one ran a magazine every day, and the other drank every day, and as a result, this attribute increased faster than Wei Ya, who worked hard to learn and practice swords every day.
Is it because they are all short and have flat chests?
Lloyd pondered in his heart, but continued the previous topic:
"Then since you also see it this way, it means that the departure of the presiding judge has indeed had some impact on us here, and it seems that you have to be more careful when executing in the future, especially when I am not there, you should be more careful."
"Hehe, you guy, you really like to care about others? Don't even let a bad woman like me go? Oops, do you suddenly feel like you're cute? ”
Métis still said in a weird manner, tilted her head slightly, and a sharp chin inadvertently peeked out of the middle of her hair, and continued:
"But don't underestimate me, I'm the worst woman in the world, not the kind of little girl who only has a hard mouth."
No...... With your height and figure, plus this mouth, isn't it a 'hard-mouthed little girl'?
Lloyd sneered, saying that this time he found the real subject of Métis:
"Anyway, I'll probably be away from time to time in the future, and the period shouldn't be very long, it's all like this time, right? Anyway, when I'm not here, it's probably up to you...... Seriously, I'm worried about something going wrong here. ”
District 18 is his home, but as an aspiring young man with a vision and pattern, it is impossible to stay at home every day.
After that, whether it was the agreement with the butler or the Mizcatok University mentioned by the presiding judge, he always had to leave for a while from time to time.
Because of this, Lloyd was particularly concerned about the safety of the 18th district and the 9th tower, and arranged for him to be served home as soon as he returned one day.
But Lloyd's hard work was exchanged for a burst of ridicule:
"Hmph~ I really don't understand why guys like you always have to worry about everything, as if you want to save the world."
I could hear that her tone was no longer as bad as before, just joking, but with a bit of obvious anger.
Anyway, she didn't want to continue talking to Lloyd at all, so she kept pouring wine and staggered away.
The pace was no longer as enchanting as before, and it became staggering and embarrassed.
The thin back is even more powerless and lonely.
I...... Am I saying something wrong? Why are you inexplicably angry?
Could this also be a symptom of mild madness?
Lloyd froze in place, scratching his head helplessly.
Today, I seem to have some kind of strange disease that is easy to make girls angry?
In this world, I'm afraid only my sister and Wei Ya won't be angry with themselves, right?
With a wry smile, Lloyd turned and walked towards Tower Nine.
But then again, he always felt as if something had happened between Wei Ya and Metis?
But the two of them didn't say anything......
On the contrary, it made Lloyd more and more curious.
……………………
Because he inexplicably offended Métis, Lloyd didn't have a bell today, and the books he borrowed from the library could only be chewed on.
Although with the help of high cognition and [focused learning], the efficiency is not much slower, but there is always a feeling of imperfection and discomfort, as if the holy relics in the krypton gold mobile game have dozens of points less critical damage than others.
It seems that the music box still has to prepare a ...... for yourself
As soon as Lloyd thought of the music box, he even thought of Valdés, so he simply put down the book, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to send a letter to Valdés to establish contact.
After weighing it up a bit, he decided that instead of writing his real name, he would give himself a pen name that would make Valdés feel familiar and familiar, and would prove his identity - 'Black Knight'.
At the beginning of the letter, Valdés was directly referred to as the 'White Knight'.
In this way, there is no need to mention the words 'supreme' or 'dependent', and the other party can know where he comes from.
After a brief introduction of himself, Lloyd continued:
"I am aware of your attainments in rituals and engineering, and would like to have a brief discussion with you......
He then described his concept of miniaturization and portability of the ritual, but he did not rush to the 'make a lot of money' plan, but gradually established a discussion with the other party, and then slowly tried to earn him into the group.
In the meantime, he found a suitable entry point, mentioned the revolver, asked if it was still in stock, and whether it would accept customization.
Finally, there are polite words, plus an epilogue that deepens the trust of the other party:
"I sincerely hope that the communication between us can point to a future that is free from shackles."
That should be fine.
The letter is anonymous, and it will be sent to a random mailbox after that, and there is no need for the other party to reply.
Because Lloyd had already made an appointment with Valdés in the letter, tomorrow at 3 p.m., we will meet in the "Bullseye" game area of the 'Theater of Dreams', which is definitely a good place to communicate anonymously.
With the letter ready, Lloyd was going to continue reading, but Wei Ya suddenly came to the door with two strange inquisitors.
"Hello, Executioner Lloyd, I'm Riggs from District 2 and he's my partner, Kim."
"We're here for a case of material theft."
As soon as the two inquisitors entered, they each spoke.
They could see Lloyd in a small vest at a glance, which showed that [inspiration] was not low.
Lloyd was stunned, remembering that Wei Ya had mentioned this 'second district' to him.
"Second district? I remember it was the ...... in charge of housekeeping"
He suddenly twitched in his heart, could it be that he had picked up some leftovers and was found by someone, right?
Inquisitor Kim nodded and continued:
"Yes, so please cooperate with our inquiries, because you are the witness who has the most contact with the stolen goods."
"The only witness?"
Lloyd seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The other party did not say that he was a suspect, but an eyewitness, and added the statement 'only'......
Lloyd thought of something at once:
"Could it be...... The cargo on the airship on my return trip is missing? ”
