271. Remote mountain villages
Chapter 272 271
"Huh...... So that's the case? This brooch is amazing......"
Everol's small hands tugged at the edge of the dining table, looking at the brooch from Mizcattok University in front of her, her big emerald green eyes blinking.
Then he stretched out a white and tender finger curiously, and rubbed it carefully, looking like a childish child looking at a novel toy.
Lloyd watched from the side, and always felt that this curious baby-like sister had become more cute and cute......
said with some amusement:
"Sister, it's okay if you just pick it up and look at it."
"Don't, don't!"
Everol shook her head again and again, and said very resolutely:
"This is a very important thing, and my sister won't move around."
After Lloyd had gone on a date with Wei Ya, he went home separately, and then had dinner with his sister, briefly talked about the school entrance and the magic of the brooch, and explained why he suddenly appeared in the editorial office today.
Ephrol was naturally pleased and happy about this, and felt that her brother had grown up again, and he was able to enter such a legendary and well-known school-
In the field of folklore, this Mizkatok University has a high status, only slightly inferior to 'Arkham Town', but it definitely belongs to the 'Holy Land' level.
Everol's editorial office has received a lot of submissions about this university, and the excellent article published by Lloyd has also been read before, and it is said that it has also received rave reviews in the feedback from readers in the later letters.
This is probably because there is so little information about the university, and every aspect seems extremely mysterious, which naturally attracts all kinds of people to reverie.
Naturally, Ephrol was very happy about this.
But after being happy for a while, Everol couldn't help but worry again:
"But...... Although Xiao Yi said that the presiding judge recommended you to enroll, will there be any danger in that university? After all, in the submissions my sister received, they all described it as a place where all kinds of strange events could be encountered at any time......"
"This sister doesn't have to worry about it, right? The submissions you receive are stories made up by others, and if it's that dangerous, who would dare to read it? β
"Hmm...... That's the same, Xiaoyi, you have to cherish this opportunity. β
"Don't worry, sister, when did I let you worry about your studies?"
"That's the same, my Xiaoyi has loved learning since she was a child."
"Hehe, after all, knowledge is power and wealth...... Oh yes, there's nothing going on in the editorial office today, right? β
Lloyd asked suddenly.
Evrol smiled and shook her head.
"No, no, everyone was just taken aback at first, but then they became interested in this matter, discussed it for an afternoon, and wanted to invite you to the editorial office for an interview......"
"Well...... Let's talk about it when I'm officially enrolled. β
Lloyd said a little weakly.
He hadn't told Ephrol about the fact that he hadn't even found the university gate......
After all, it was a bit embarrassing to find someone else's pigsty in the door before, and I was really embarrassed to say it......
Suddenly something came to Ephrol's mind, and she proposed:
"Oh yes, Xiao Yi, if you have time one day, will you accompany your sister to go shopping? My sister wants to buy you a few sets of handsome clothes, don't always wear a uniform, no matter how handsome a boy is, you have to learn to dress yourself. β
"Okay, I just want to buy a few sets of clothes, and when I officially enter the school, let's take some time to go shopping, right?"
"Okay~ Buy me Xiaoyi a few handsome new clothes, so that after entering the academy, I should be able to meet my girlfriend, right?"
"Well...... Let's talk about it, after all, I'm there to study......"
Lloyd said, and suddenly turned to ask:
"By the way, sister, do you want to consider getting in touch with the occult and transcendent realms? I mean the more formal kind ......"
When he talked to Everol about his enrollment before, he noticed that his sister had a look of envy and longing on her face, and she was really interested in that university.
This may be because of her professional influence, or it may be that she has really developed an interest in the realm of mystery and the otherworld.
So Lloyd asked along the way, and also [investigated] his sister's state today.
[Target: Ephrol]
[Status: Normal]
[System: None]
[Rationality: 30]
[Spiritual Power: 16]
[Inspiration: 12]
[Cognition: 28]
[Threat: (^_)β]
My sister's attributes are still growing steadily, and they are already stronger than those first-order beginners who have completed [Enlightenment].
She's really talented at that......
It's a pity that Evrol still shook her head, expressed her refusal, and then explained:
"I can't...... I've heard a lot of people say that if you want to become an extraordinary person, you need to study hard, and you have to face many dangers and challenges, and I am most afraid of this. β
Since she didn't want to, Lloyd couldn't force her, so she had to divert the topic and said that she would come back late tomorrow, and asked her sister not to wait for her.
Everol, on the other hand, said "with the current":
"Look, Xiao Yi, you work so hard every day in order to become an excellent transcendent, I don't want to be like you."
The siblings chatted like this until it was almost time to go to bed, and Lloyd went back to his room, and then entered the [Mind Realm] with some eagerness, and then [sneaked] to Elolo's side.
As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to use the newly mastered spiritual power release technique to let himself 'grow' an invisible big hand.
But there is only a slap, no arm......
This is more economical in spiritual power......
If you attach the inspiration to it, you can basically create a touch similar to that of your hand.
If it is inconvenient to hold it with your hands, such as a red-hot soldering iron, full of corrosive strong acids, you can remove the inspiration, and you are not afraid of being burned.
All in all, this special trick is really handy.
Lloyd couldn't wait to try his hand at Elolo.
Elolo seemed to be studying, with a book on occultism spread out on his desk, a pen in his hand, and falling asleep on the notebook where he was taking notes.
There was a letter and two small cakes next to her, one of which she had eaten a few bites herself, and the other one was good.
Lloyd reached over and rubbed the soft cheeks of Elolo, and stroked the curvy and curly hair on the top of his head.
Eloro didn't wake up, still lying on the table, looking like he was picking.
It's a pity that the feet are still wearing those delicate little leather boots, so that Lloyd can't play with those delicate and cute jade feet......
I had to look at the letter I wrote to myself next to it.
In addition to expressing her thoughts, she also shared with Lloyd some of what she saw today-
I went to the museum in the city in the morning, went to an opera in the afternoon, and went home in the evening to think about studying, and asked Lloyd if he was working hard.
and said that he would continue to work hard and strive to become strong as soon as possible, so that he would not worry about hurting Lloyd, and the two would always be together.
Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.
And so, after 'accompaniing' Elolo for half an hour, Lloyd ended the day.
As soon as he woke up the next day, he would first go to the [Thinking Domain] to sign in.
The giant bud was sent to the first level, and the madness value of the unknown fragment plus the one absorbed from Elolo last night added up to another level one.
The 10 attributes obtained by upgrading were respectively pointed by him to [Spiritual Power] and [Cognition], and they all reached 235 points, which was on par with [Rationality].
[User: Lloyd]
[Status: Normal]
[Madness Value: 2000/10000, Upper Limit: 23500]
[Rationality: 235]
[Spiritual Power: 235]
[Inspiration: 140]
[Cognition: 235]
[System: Distort LV4, Reject LV3]
What a neat attribute, sure enough, the beauty of the bucket is an effective cure for obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Lloyd nodded contentedly.
So he completed the morning's daily work step by step, executed the monsters, met the sage, and then said to Wei Ya, and prepared to go to that remote town.
Wei Ya was busy sorting out the documents, but she didn't ask much, just mentioned:
"Remember not to make arrangements tomorrow night, I have made an appointment with those two scholars for you, and I will accompany you when the time comes, and ask them to help you stabilize the results of [detachment]."
"Got it, thank you Wei Ya, I'll invite you to a big meal when I go back."
"I'd rather try your craft than a big meal, and you often show off your cooking skills to me?"
"Want to eat what I made? No problem, find a time to arrange it when the time comes. β
Lloyd said confidently, and then left the 18th arrondissement, took the advanced subway, and went to a place called Yorktown.
It was the closest town to the village where the incident occurred.
γDing~Madness +50γ
Lloyd got out of the subway and came to a large church in Yorktown.
This Yorktown is the largest and most important agricultural and pastoral area in the city, with various farms, pastures, and lumberyards, supplying about forty percent of the city's meat, eggs and milk.
And this whole town, with a population of more than 30,000, is very lively and well-developed with people coming and going, and has all kinds of facilities, looking newer than the south of the city where Lloyd is busy every day, and already has the scale of a satellite city.
It's just that the village he was going to was more than an hour away from the town, and he had to squeeze a long-distance bus to get there.
Lloyd bought two long-distance tickets, one for himself and one for a little milk cat, and then swayed along the country road with the long-distance bus, and slowly arrived at the destination, a small place called Shanquan Village.
