336. An inheritance fell from the sky?

Yes? Is this really gone? Gone in such a hurry?

Lloyd froze in place, watching his beautiful and lovely 'childhood sweetheart' turn back into a shadowless and invisible [projection], leaving himself alone to sit on a bench in the square at night, and when the wind blows, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of emptiness and loneliness.

Could it be that the questions you ask are too serious? Spoiling the mood for a date?

Or is she really so busy, something is really going on?

There's a lot of more questions to ask......

Maybe that's the way the Sage behaves, right?

Lloyd was also helpless, so he could only take out his pocket watch and time on both sides, thinking that it would be better to go back to the world as soon as possible.

He went back to the dormitory to call the little milk cat, and just saw the little milk cat and the little fragrant pig waving their paws at the door to say goodbye, and then the little fragrant pig rolled into a dormitory next to him like a yo-yo.

And the courtyard is full of all kinds of hunting plants, like a dormitory like a cave of ten thousand demons, at this time also lit up a little dim cold light, it looks particularly permeable, I really can't imagine what kind of creatures will live in it......

"Alright, go home."

Lloyd said, picking up the kitten, pulling open a portal, returning to his office in the present world, and then quickly took out the synchronized hourglass to adjust for the jet lag.

At this time, it was not yet dusk in the present world outside, and it really felt like a time lapse.

After a moment's pause, Lloyd tried to reach out again, trying to see if he could open a portal.

Sure enough, no......

The spatial stability of the current world is much stronger than that of the different space where the academy is located, and it is definitely unrealistic to open the portal with bare hands.

But with the help of a space pocket watch to open the door, it should not be a big problem, as it was with a brooch before.

In addition, Lloyd felt that his [Space Domination] skill was also limited to a great extent because of this solid stability, and some fancy operations could barely be played, but the effect was definitely not as good as in the other dimension.

You may also need to be supported by more gear, or you may need to wait for a higher skill level to be as casual as you would in the Academy.

Lloyd simply felt the changes in the spatial environment, and then with the help of the imprint he had planted before, he looked at the static storm trapped in the three school districts.

Because there was no spatial anchor to locate them, they were still floating aimlessly in a random direction with three school districts as before, and the general direction was in the direction of Lloyd's guidance, drifting towards the danger zone.

And because of the time difference, it looks very fast.

But Lloyd clearly remembered that when he was in the 'rescue pod', close to this side of the world, he 'looked back' at the storm, and they were almost stationary, not as active as they are now.

Could it be that there is a 'time speed bump' between the different space where the academy is located and the present world? Or 'time barrier'? Is the time difference between the two sides caused by this area?

Lloyd made a bold guess in his head.

But this kind of problem is destined to be just 'mediocrity', and [time] is obviously a more esoteric and obscure field than [space], and there is not even a special corresponding discipline in Mizkatok.

So Lloyd didn't think much about it, just kept this discovery in mind, and then continued to let the 'Storm School District' float towards the danger zone according to the original route, so as not to cause some unnecessary 'secondary injury' when he was not in the academy.

As for the 'rescue pod' that was still under his control, he guided it to float towards the space he was in, and then roughly estimated its speed.

It should be able to float to the space of its own house by tomorrow morning, and then deploy a portal, and there will be half an extra space store in its room.

But Lloyd didn't think about what to do with this half of the commissary for the time being, and could only use it to hide the things under the bed, so as not to be discovered by his sister......

With these arrangements in place, Lloyd will be able to enjoy the three-day vacation with peace of mind.

He ran to find Wei Ya, and then they met with a tight hug.

I haven't seen Wei Ya for many days, and I miss her very much......

Moreover, Wei Ya can't just disappear from her eyes casually, right?

"Huh? Lloyd? How did you...... This is the office......"

Wei Ya whispered, but her body was very honest and hugged Lloyd tightly, greedily enjoying the warmth of her lover.

I also have a very strange feeling in my heart, as if the distance between myself and Lloyd has inexplicably become farther away, I only met in the morning, but I feel that I haven't seen him for a long time?

After a while, the two of them reluctantly parted, and then Wei Ya stroked her somewhat messy ear hair, revealing a side face with a little blush, and asked:

"How was studying at Mitzkatok? Is there anything you can tell me? ”

"I just finished a trivial little thing......"

Lloyd was about to share it with Wei Ya when the student handbook began to vibrate first, reminding him not to break the school rules.

Lloyd's heart was unhappy for a while,

This cheating school rule, you must find a way to change it if you have the opportunity in the future!

Then the student handbook began to vibrate even more violently, reminding him not to violate the last rule of the school rules - prohibiting the modification of the school rules.

Lloyd now knows why there is such a separate rule that looks strange......

……………………

"Huh? Xiao Yi? What's wrong with you today? ”

Ephrol looked at her strange brother in front of her, and asked suspiciously, but she didn't do anything to resist, and let Lloyd put her arms around her and look at her over and over again, as if she was checking whether she had been dropped.

After a brief date with Wei Ya, Lloyd returned home in time and brought dinner to his sister, but he definitely couldn't eat it himself, so he could only sit at the table and watch his sister eat it in small bites, like a cute little squirrel.

From time to time, I would sneak a glance under the table and watch Everol's little feet, wrapped in thick white stockings like ice cream, swaying back and forth leisurely.

Then he suddenly thought of something, and when Evrol had finished eating, he picked up his sister and checked it repeatedly, pinching her face and little feet from time to time.

"Well, it's confirmed, it's indeed my sister."

Lloyd finally said, relieved.

"Xiao Yi? Did something happen? ”

Ephrol still had a little bit of a blush on her face that hadn't had time to fade, and she looked at Lloyd with a blank look and asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that I met something special today, but I can't tell you because of the school rules, and it doesn't matter anyway."

Lloyd pulled out the school rules that he still hated before as a cover to cover up his weakness.

In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, why he would go home to check on his sister after seeing the Sage of Rejection.

"Is that so? It's okay...... By the way, my sister also has a message for you here. ”

Everol said, not bothering to put on her shoes, so she let a pair of white silk jade feet step on the floor, and ran to get her bag, and then took out a letter from it.

"Xiao Yi, do you remember Uncle Hule when you were a child? He used to give us oysters a lot. ”

"I remember, I remember, but this man ......"

Lloyd was a little reluctant to speak, and after considering his wording, he said as implicitly as possible:

"The impression is a little vague, he hasn't been in contact with us for a long time, right?"

In fact, Lloyd's mind is more 'precocious' than Everol', so he still has a clear impression of his relatives when he was a child.

His father's name in another world is Rons, and his mother's name is Evelinea, and both of them have many relatives and sisters, but they are not on this side of the Bright City, but live separately in other cities.

There is no great family background, they are all very ordinary people, and even his father Ron came to the bright city to find an opportunity because he didn't mix well in his hometown, and that's how he met his mother and successfully settled here.

Later, a traverser's son was born, and then an Ephrol was picked up, and a harmonious family of four was formed.

But at that time, the family's economic situation was actually quite ordinary, and both parents were ordinary wage earners, and in order to buy the home they lived in at that time, they had to work hard with heavy mortgages, and they had little contact with relatives living in different places.

Later, after the two were killed, the family was unable to repay the loan, and the house was cruelly confiscated by the bank, which led to Lloyd and Ephrol being sent to an orphanage.

In fact, the orphanage tried to contact other relatives to adopt the two children, but all the letters sent out were in vain, and there was no response.

Among them was Uncle Hule, who used to come to the door often.

He was the cousin of his father, Rons, and in Lloyd's opinion, he had always been a, cutting oysters for people at the docks to make a living, so he often came to the door to eat, and received a lot of help from the family.

Later, I didn't know if I had offended people or owed gambling debts, but I suddenly thought that I wanted to run a boat and become a sailor, saying that I could make a fortune, and then I borrowed a sum of money from my parents and disappeared.

Now that so many years have passed, the Lloyd siblings have survived the hardest time, and they have never received any contact from their relatives, nor have they taken the initiative to contact those relatives, and there is nothing wrong with everyone forgetting each other.

Anyway, a traverser, a retrieved ......

So Lloyd can't say that he hates the indifference of those relatives, after all, his parents didn't have much contact when they were alive, and it was obviously too much to expect others to take over the pot.

But only for this Uncle Yule, who liked to come to the door to eat, he was very unhappy, and he didn't say a word of greeting to himself and his sister, how can he still have the face to write letters now?

And, where did he get his current contact address?

Lloyd was a little confused, so he asked Ephrol what was going on with the letter.

"This was sent directly to our editorial office."

Ephrol said, returning to the couch and handing the letter to Lloyd, leaning over Lloyd's side and flipping through a magazine.

Although the expression on her face looked quite calm, the little white silk feet on the armrests of the sofa were still swaying from side to side, revealing that she was actually in a good mood.

As for being so happy to receive such a letter from a relative who should have been forgotten?

Alas...... My sister is still too kind and emotional......

Lloyd sneered in his heart, opened the letter and read it, and then understood why his sister was happy-

The handwriting on the letter is beautiful, the writing is smooth, the words are elegant and accurate, and even the letterhead is very good-touched, and it does not look like Uncle Hule, who sells oysters, can write.

The content first apologized for the sudden interruption of the letter, and then said that he was in a hurry to find the orphan of his cousin's family, and he saw Ephrol's name in a magazine, so he took the liberty of writing to ask.

Then he identified himself, mentioning Lloyd's parents, Ron and Eveline, and saying that after many years of running boats, after experiencing all kinds of dangers and hardships, he had saved a fortune, but he had no relatives around him, so he was eager to find his cousin's orphan.

Finally, he explained that he had become ill from work as a sailor, and that he was already in poor health, so he could not come to the house in person, and that if the person who received the letter was really the relative he was looking for, he would invite him to his luxurious manor, preferably within three days.

Even the letter was not written by himself, but by his butler.

Anyway, after reading this letter, Lloyd couldn't help but think of the story of 'a lonely rich man desperate to find an heir to his inheritance'.

Although the letter does not directly say that "I will come to receive the inheritance as soon as I am critically ill", the explicit hints in and out of various words can be reminiscent of this kind of plot.

Lloyd couldn't help but glance at the magazine in Everol's hand, which was actually a financial ......

Considering her always cheerful and active imagination, she probably has already planned how to spend the inheritance, right?

It's just that after all, it's a legacy, so it's inconvenient to be too excited, right?

After noticing that after reading the letter, Evrol raised her head slightly and asked:

"Xiao Yi, do you think we should go and see? After all, Uncle Hule may be the only relative we can find. ”

"Well...... this"

Lloyd hesitated a little and did not rush to answer.

According to his true thoughts, he would definitely not go, the location of the manor was quite far away, and in the border area between the Eternal City and the City of Order, if he took an airship to go there, it would be a waste of days to go back and forth.

However, Lloyd was able to open the portal, and just after dating Wei Ya before, he asked her for three days off, and the plan was to take a good rest and accompany his sister, so there was no problem with the time and itinerary.

But the problem is, I'm not short of money now, right?

In my life, I am walking on thin ice, and I can have today's achievements, all by my own efforts and hard work, I have always been a young man with integrity who regards money as something outside his body, and has never succumbed to such yellow and white things!

What's more, I also have a little rich woman's prospective girlfriend who kills pigs at home, a childhood sweetheart who controls a city at hand, and a little girlfriend who has just completed the class jump.

Does my Lloyd seem to be a man who will be short of money?

Merely...... I don't think I've ever erected a young man for myself who doesn't want to work hard, right?

Why don't you check it out? Just to see if this relative who rubbed rice at the beginning really mixed up?

No matter what the inheritance says, it's good to take my sister out for a trip and relax.

Lloyd was going to nod his head in agreement, but when he glanced at the letter again, he always felt that something was wrong.

If this happened on Earth, he would definitely have jumped on the plane, but in the context of such an era, this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing should be more careful......

Lloyd was not in a hurry to make a decision, but Evrol noticed his hesitation, quickly shook his arm, and said in a coquettish tone:

"Xiao Yi, shall we go and have a look? If you really have any inheritance, you don't have to worry about getting married and buying a house in the future. ”

Belch...... Even if you really have any inheritance, if you want to marry the three people around me, I'm afraid it's not a matter of one set or one house, right? That has to be very, very, very rich, to be possible, right?

Lloyd thought about it in his mind, and he wanted to weigh the pros and cons with his sister, but when he saw the anticipation in his emerald green eyes, he couldn't say anything.

He couldn't help but think that he and his sister would live on the streets in the first place, wasn't it because they couldn't pay the mortgage?

Maybe my sister doesn't mention it much, but she still regards real estate as very important in her heart, so she often talks about 'saving money to buy a house'......

So Lloyd couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and say:

"Well, even if we don't have a legacy, it's good for us to have fun."

"Okay! I knew that Xiao Yi was the best! ”

Only then did Everol release the joy in her heart and laugh happily.

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Lloyd hurriedly answered the door, thinking it was a neighbor, but it turned out that standing outside the door was a young man in his thirties, with a vague sense of familiarity in his facial features.

Dressed as a standard gentleman, judging from the details such as clothing, bracelets, monocles, etc., I am afraid that he is worth a lot of money, and faintly carries that kind of 'aristocratic temperament', and his body is also exuding a little power fluctuation, obviously he is still an extraordinary person.

"Hello, Lord Lloyd, I'm Olga from the City of Illusion, or you can call me Little Olga."

The other party took the initiative to introduce himself, and then stretched out his right hand.

Lloyd politely shook his hand, then asked:

"I don't know if you and the Lord Olga I know are ......"

"That's my father, and I'm here for the promise you made with him."

Only then did Lloyd remember that he still hadn't replied to the two seventh-order bosses of the [Manifestation] Department, just to help them attend the next [Transcendence] ceremony.

"Sorry, there were a lot of things going on during this time, and I didn't have time to reply...... Come in first, and we'll sit down and talk. ”
