Chapter 259 258

Therefore, the world just seems to be safe, but no one knows what will happen to their heads in the next second......

What a fucking fuck!

Lloyd cursed in his heart, indignant at the painter's misfortune.

Although the two didn't even pass the name, the other party always remembered the original promise and brought the final painting with him.

Lloyd took another look at the painter's last posthumous work, thought about it, picked up the nail and hammer, took it off, and hung it up in the nearby lounge, so as not to get dirty while studying the sadhana.

Even if the layman couldn't appreciate the painting, Lloyd wanted to preserve it properly.

After that, he went home, and he didn't really want to cook, so he went out and brought dinner for two.

Ephrol came back late today, and Lloyd collapsed on the couch, waiting for his sister while looking at the stall in his hand.

But maybe it was because it wasn't pretty, and he fell asleep groggily when he looked at it.

Then Lloyd came to an unfamiliar military camp.

Bunkers and trenches were laid out on all sides, and hundreds of soldiers were moving around and busy, as if preparing for an important battle.

The clothes they wore were styles that Lloyd had never seen before, and they looked somewhat retro; The weapon he holds is a strangely shaped spear that looks a bit like a staff that can perform physical attacks.

And in the distance of this battlefield, there are towering towers, tall and majestic, like optimus pillars, supporting the gray canopy overhead.

But the distance was too far for Lloyd to discern the specific style of the tower, only that it was not the same as the twisted spire he was familiar with, and its general outline was more like that of the Dento Sanctuary.

At that moment, Lloyd heard a majestic order from behind him, in a dialect he did not understand at all.

Looking back, a tall and mighty knight in armor was giving orders in a language he didn't understand.

This knight looks nearly three meters tall, the armor on his body is silver-white, the lines are smooth and smooth, the close-fitting design, the structure looks very sci-fi on the earth, and it looks like some kind of high-tech creation.

On the face of the armor is a 'V'-shaped crystal, dark red, and it will shone and shrink with the knight's breathing, like a breathing lamp.

But on the shoulders, elbows, knees and other positions, there are some quite classical style edges and decorations, and a badge is also worn on the chest, which makes the whole armor present a classical sci-fi style.

With the knight's order, the soldiers in the camp were also in their places, each of them found their own cover, and then, as if holding a gun, set up the spear in his hand, and aimed it into the distance.

The knight drew a two-handed heavy sword from his shoulder, stuck it in the dirt in front of him, and held the hilt of the sword in both hands, looking into the distance.

The sword struck Lloyd as familiar, like the one that the painter wanted to present to him in his last moments.

If it is more broken, with more rust and blood, it will be basically the same......

But the artist's work looks like an unrecognizable mosaic to the naked eye......

Lloyd didn't think much about it at this time, and hurriedly followed the knight's line of sight and looked into the distance.

Under the huge towers, a large number of dense, black things are converging, like a black tsunami brewing, which will sweep over at any time.

At this critical moment when the war was about to break out, Lloyd's eyes suddenly went dark, and he couldn't see anything, as if he was asleep normally.

After another unknown amount of time, he felt something fragrant and soft gently patting his cheeks, and he also smelled a familiar smell in his nose, the smell of his sister.

Lloyd slowly opened his eyes, and saw Everol's emerald green eyes, very close to him, full of anxious and worried eyes, and crystal tears brewing......

Seeing her brother open his eyes, Everol hurriedly exclaimed:

"Xiao Yi, are you awake? How are you? Is it sick? As soon as I came back, I was scared to death to see you lying motionless on the couch! ”

"Huh? No? I seem to have fallen asleep just now? ”

Lloyd was stunned, then reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, remembering the strange dream just now.

"Huh? But you never sleep at this time, do you? ”

Ephrol was still very uneasy, rubbing her hand against her brother's cheek, and then pressed her forehead against his, checking Lloyd's temperature.

"Hmm...... If there is no fever, is there any other place that is uncomfortable? ”

"No, no, it's just that I'm a little tired from work today, so I took a nap, it's okay, sister, don't worry."

Lloyd hurriedly comforted his sister, and pulled her to the table again, where she ate dinner first.

During the banquet, the two chatted with each other, but Lloyd was somewhat absent-minded, still thinking about the previous dream.

He was almost certain that the strange dream was caused by the painter's painting.

That painting is actually a [beacon] that transmits knowledge, which can also be called a [lighthouse]......

To put it simply, if forbidden knowledge is a moth with poison in the dark, then the painting is a candle in the darkness that will attract these deadly moths to the fire.

Of course, not everyone can light this 'candle', like the two investigators who can't read the painting, they will be very safe, and they don't even feel that there is anything wrong with this 'candle', it's just ugly and curious.

But I can see it, on the one hand, because my inspiration is high enough; On the other hand, it may also be because he has always been a literary and artistic young man with great artistic attainments.

It may even be because I happened to need a little forbidden knowledge to complete the [detachment] on the other side of the [Distortion] system during this time, and I subconsciously developed a certain craving for this thing......

Lloyd summed it up in his mind.

And his understanding of the [Knowledge Beacon] did not come from textbooks or anyone's notes, but from the forbidden knowledge he received in his mind when he dreamed before......

It's a bit of a feeling when I wake up from sleep and suddenly find that I have a brain.

However, this knowledge is relatively fragmented and fragmented, and only part of it roughly describes the concept and purpose of [Knowledge Beacon], which is very brief, more in-depth and more detailed, and has not yet grown out of my head.

As for the rest of the parts, it is even more fragmentary, and there is no way to interpret it for the time being, but it has not been swept into the 'recycle bin' in the brain, just like a cloze on a test paper, waiting to be filled in later.

And Lloyd also used these fragmentary knowledge that can be interpreted to roughly figure out what happened to the painter.

First of all, it is certain that the painter did not deliberately harm himself.

Because most of the time, the [Knowledge Beacon] thing is the product of a 'flash of inspiration' and a 'clever hand', if you really want to make it artificially, the process is quite complicated and troublesome, and it is very dangerous.

With that painter's ability, he would definitely not be able to do it.

That's what Lloyd's crippled knowledge told him.

Therefore, the painter should have had an idea about the sword by chance, typed out a sketch, and unfortunately constituted a [knowledge beacon], and then was tragically invaded by forbidden knowledge, and gradually lost his rationality, and he could only scribble in the coloring stage.

Until the end, he died at home......

Alas...... I knew that I wouldn't ask you to draw any swords, so I should have followed my heart and asked you to draw some young barefoot beautiful girls......

Lloyd thought clearly about the cause and effect of this incident, and he couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.

But he didn't care about blaming himself too much, and couldn't help but think back to the situation at that time, realizing that this situation where he was instilled with forbidden knowledge when he fell asleep was really dangerous and abnormal.

After falling asleep, the panel cannot function normally, and the mental pollution brought by forbidden knowledge can only be supported by physical fitness.

This made Lloyd scared in his heart.

Fortunately, he opened the panel to look at his status, and then used [Enhanced Exploration] to look at his sister's condition, and nothing happened.

And he didn't receive a hint of mental pollution, only received a hint of obtaining those scattered pieces of knowledge, and it was only after he woke up that he started a series of [ding~ding~ding~].

But Lloyd could roughly feel that he was mentally polluted at that time, but before they could drive themselves crazy, they flowed into the distance.

If nothing else, it was the direction of Elolo, who had his heart in mind.

The mental pollution he suffered while he was asleep was borne by the immature sage Elolo.

It's like helping her share the mental pollution while she's asleep.

For a while, Lloyd was also full of emotion in his heart, if he hadn't rescued Elolo in the first place, he would have really been admitted to a mental hospital.

Thank you, it's still my Elolo......

Lloyd gave Elolo a thumbs up in his heart, but his hand was looking at the stories about the weird derivatives that his sister had collected for him.

Well...... If you look fake, there is no need to use [Identification and Divination].

And it's still ugly to write, so it should be a waste manuscript that won't be included......

So Lloyd excused himself to go back to his room to read, but in fact, he entered the [Thinking Realm] a little earlier and went to visit Elolo.

Don't let that happen!

With a whispered prayer from Lloyd, his vision blurred for a while, and he crossed thousands of miles to [sneak] to Elolo's side.

Fortunately, Elolo's state looks okay, and he will fall asleep on the sofa with a fashion magazine in front of him, and it seems that he fell asleep while reading.

This made Lloyd breathe a sigh of relief.

Happy New Year to all!

Please also ask me to be a little lazy today, and take a break, and I can only add two chapters.
