Lloyd looked at the uneasiness and depression on the face of the 'childhood sweetheart', and was very distressed, so he hurriedly hugged her, and rubbed the top of her head with his chin, wanting to express comfort.

But fortunately, Hiltina didn't need these very much, she was a saint after all, and after a small break, she quickly recovered, and continued:

"Although the future is becoming less and less optimistic, fortunately, this [always humble and awe] can be regarded as on our side for now, and at least let us know what the future crisis is......"

"Yes, it's the only good news among all the bad news, and without this contact with him, we probably wouldn't have been aware of these potentially huge threats...... So your operation this time can be said to be very successful, and it is also very crucial. ”

The dean also said, and encouraged him again:

"Don't be so depressed, we now at least know what the threat is, and we have more possibilities to change that future."

"Well, thanks to my family Lloyd...... Come, reward. ”

Hiltina laughed reluctantly, and kissed Lloyd on the cheek quickly, taking advantage of his inattention.

The dean obviously couldn't see this little intimate action between the two, and continued in a serious manner:

"And this [Brilliant Gold] wants Lloyd to give him a funeral, not only to seek relief for himself, but also to teach a vital ability to humans today - how to kill the Most High."

These words made Lloyd stunned.

If the Most High is like a god......

Isn't that ...... Killing gods?

He suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp and a feeling of excitement.

I don't know how much madness a [Brilliant Gold] will give?

However, it was still too far to think about it at the moment, so Lloyd quickly retracted his thoughts, and then thought of another question, and continued to ask:

"Can [Brilliant Gold] and the Supreme One be completely equated?"

"I don't think so."

The dean first gave his own conclusion, and Hiltina also nodded, saying her opinion:

"The Most High should be a broader concept, and [Brilliant Gold] simply refers to those who are at the pinnacle of that era, and in the category of 'Most High', not necessarily all human beings."

"Well, I see, those two things ......"

Lloyd then took back the metal book and the rusty key that Uncle had forced into his hand.

He didn't dare to take these two things without permission, this was something given by the supreme powerhouse with unknown origins, unknown intentions, and unknown positions, who would dare to look at them randomly?

So not to mention opening it, Lloyd didn't even use inspiration to touch and inspect it, and after getting it, he immediately threw it into the storage bag, and only then took it out again, and then asked Hiltina to check it for him first.

Hiltina took it, took it in her hand, looked at it repeatedly, and shook her head.

"No, I can't open it, I can't see it, there should be some kind of restriction arranged by that strong man on it, I'm afraid that except for Lloyd himself, no one else can start it."

Does that mean it's still tied to me? Not to trade?

Lloyd thought for a moment and tried to ask:

"That'...... I'll open it now and see? ”

"Wait a minute, let's talk about it first, what does that strong man think of and evaluate you?"

Lloyd recalled the exchange between himself and the big guy again, and replied truthfully:

"Well...... Shouldn't it be too bad?

He thinks that I am too good to be human, and thinks that I have a lot of room for improvement and growth, and he is also kind when he communicates with me, and at the same time recognizes me as the winner of the trial, but only criticizes my taste in dressing, and questions my artistic aesthetics and cooking skills......

I don't know why he cares, but on the whole, I should have made a good impression on him, right? ”

"Well...... Maybe it's because of some social ethos back then? You also know that in that glorious era, with advanced technology and abundant materials, human beings were much better than they are now, both in terms of life expectancy and quality of life, so when they were bored, they liked to compare at various levels......"

The dean reluctantly explained in an uncertain tone, and then continued:

"Especially for the [Brilliant Gold] at that time, 'Brilliant Gold' had the meaning of 'immaculate' and 'perfect' in the ancient language, so including the former dean, they all required themselves to be absolutely perfect in all aspects and become that kind of flawless person......

Of course, this is just my speculation based on the social climate of the time, and in fact, whether this pursuit of perfection has a deeper purpose is only known to [Brilliant Gold] itself. ”

"I know the truth, but how can human beings be perfect? In other words, if human beings are really perfect, can they still be called human beings? ”

Lloyd was puzzled by this eccentric pursuit.

"Yes, I didn't really understand the weird atmosphere at the time, so I was just a little teaching assistant who didn't like me back then."

The dean said, his tone revealing a bit of obvious bitterness, but he immediately changed his words and said:

"Fortunately, this strong man seems to have accepted the status quo and is not so picky, and finally decided to give you a legacy and have high hopes for you, even if you are not the perfect heir in his eyes......

So, open his inheritance and take a look, if he wants to harm him, there are countless means, there is no need to beat around the bush so much. ”

Lloyd also felt that the dean's statement made sense, so he asked Hiltina to watch him, and then opened the metal book.

In the next second, a large stream of spiritual pollution came to the face, and the panel suddenly began to tinkle endlessly.

But the total amount is not very high, until the panel prompt gradually subsided, Lloyd was only upgraded to three levels, or counting the ones he endured when communicating with the other party before, so it was only less than 30,000, and it didn't threaten his upper limit.

This shows that the 'uncle' really didn't want to harm Lloyd, but he himself was full of mental pollution, and it was inevitable that a little bit would stick to the things he took out.

And the most hints on the panel are actually some messy pieces.

Most of them were fragments of knowledge, and Lloyd didn't bother to deal with them for the time being, instead focusing on the two fragments he first encountered.

【Ding~Enhancement Fragment +2】

【Ding~Attribute Fragment +3】

[Ding~ Enough enhancement fragments have been obtained, and the twisted skills have been fully strengthened]

[Ding~ Enough attribute fragments have been obtained, converted into all attributes +50]

These few lines of prompts made Lloyd directly stunned.

What is this? Daigo empowerment? The old man passed on the gong?

After twenty years of traveling through another world, you finally met this kind of protagonist plot?

Lloyd was suddenly excited, first evenly distributed the 15 points obtained from the previous upgrade to his water tank body, and then gave an overview of his current attributes:

【Ding~Add points to complete】

[User: Lloyd]

[Status: Normal]

[Madness Value: 0/10000, Upper Limit: 50000]

[Rationality: 500]

[Spiritual Power: 500]

[Inspiration: 255]

[Cognition: 500]

[System: Distort LV4, Reject LV3, Embody LV1]

What a full, how balanced, what a wonderful tank!

In addition to this wave of attribute value expansion, Lloyd's two twisted skills, [Distorted Realm] and [Gift Distortion], also showed obvious changes.

In fact, the level of this skill level has not been intuitively improved, it is still an 8 level, a 7 level, and the function has not increased, it is still the same as before.

But Lloyd could clearly feel that the foundation, or nature, of these two skills had been sublimated, or refined.

It's like in a kryptonite mobile game, the character has an extra constellation.

The effect of twisting the fireball into a rose that Lloyd had dreamed of before should be able to reproduce it now, but it still needs to be a little familiar.

And this is not only to be handsome, but also to help him open the door to the micro level, or the level of existence of things, and there is a feeling that it will lead Lloyd to a whole new realm.

Although it is only to open this door, how to go deeper in the future depends on Lloyd himself, but this wave of changes from 0 to 1 is obviously much more important than the previous pile of attribute points.

If we could continue to go deeper in this direction, to reach a state where we could distort the form of existence of all things, wouldn't that mean ......

Domination of all things?

Thinking of this, Lloyd vaguely sensed something, so he quickly shook his head and didn't continue to think about it.

He could roughly feel that this should be a path beyond the Sage and ascend to the highest.

But it must also be an extremely difficult and thorny road accompanied by countless dangers and difficulties......

Let's not think that far ahead......

Lloyd continued to look at the changes behind the panel.

And a windfall was discovered?

[Books Read: "The Book of Truth, Volume 1", current reading progress 132%]

Well, all of a sudden, there was a lot of progress, and it should have been the impact of contact with the Supreme.

But why hasn't any substantial change been felt?

Lloyd felt a little puzzled, and quickly tried to poke the Book of Truth in his brain

Originally, it wouldn't have reacted to this.

But today, when I tried again, "The Book of Truth" began to turn the pages for the first time, revealing pictures that had been recorded on it before.

There's Lloyd's old friend, the giant stickman, and the information on those holy relics and monsters, as well as descriptions of those special materials.

At the same time, a new prompt came from my ears:

【Ding~Cognitive Level Improvement】

This is good, this is good!

Lloyd was overjoyed when he heard this prompt.

When he entered Mizkatok and came into contact with those spatial knowledge, he obviously felt that it was a little difficult, it was very inefficient to learn, and his cognition was not enough.

That's not just a numerical insufficiency, it's more of a cognitive level of inadequacy.

And now that this wave of level has been raised, Lloyd believes that it should be much easier to continue reading those large volumes of the space department.

And in the future, if you want to continue to explore the path of microcosm and the existence of things, you will naturally rely more on the cognitive level.

So this seemingly inconspicuous 'little surprise', this is the real substantial improvement!

Is that the benefit of the Book of Truth?

Loved, loved!

Lloyd hasn't gone through the extra knowledge fragments in his brain for the time being, and the current gains alone are already worth the price of the ticket, which can be said to be in vain.

The point is that this is still not all, the metal book in his hand has not disappeared, but has become thinner and lighter.

Lloyd tried to flip through it again, but nothing happened.

But he checked it with inspiration, and found that there was actually a lot more in the book, but it was locked and in a state where it could not be opened.

Maybe I'm not strong enough at the moment, so I can't get in touch with these?

It means that this book is like the level benefits in the krypton gold mobile game, and you have to upgrade to the corresponding level yourself in order to receive the reward?

Perhaps the content behind this is the real key point, and the way to kill a Supreme One should be in the back of this.

Yes, yes, the power to upgrade and become stronger is more abundant now.

Lloyd was satisfied, and he put the metal book back in his pouch and picked up the key to examine it again.

Belch...... Isn't this just an ordinary key?

'Uncle' gave the wrong one?

Or is it because it is worn out so badly that it fails? Need I find a way to fix it back before I can use it?

If the metal book is considered an upgrade benefit, then this key may be some kind of upgrade assessment?

Lloyd had a rough guess about his uncle's intentions, but he didn't have a clue, so he took the key back and didn't dwell on it any further.

Anyway, this wave of harvest is already enough.

Is the 'uncle' just giving a greeting gift, so generous and bold?

It shows that he is indeed as generous as the legend says, and likes to promote his younger generations.

It's a pity that he underestimated himself a little, and he tried his best to restrain the mental pollution on his body, so that he didn't earn much madness......

But this proves that he really has no intention of harming himself, and he still approves of his heir.

He's really, I'm crying to death!

Lloyd felt that from today on, he would be his own uncle.

De, drifting for half a life, not meeting the master, now, if the public does not give up, I am willing to worship as an uncle!

I will also work hard to become stronger, repay your love, and give you a funeral as soon as possible......

Belch...... How do you look like an ungrateful and rebellious young man?

Lloyd chuckled and complained to himself, and then hurried to look at the extra pieces of knowledge in his mind.

But after looking at it for a while, a strong question welled up in his heart-

Why weren't these debris swept into the 'recycling bin' as garbage?

Lloyd thought that these fragments of knowledge would involve ancient technologies, ancient secrets, and even ancient history.

The result is something that seems useless about the aesthetics of the ancients, the grammar of the ancient language, and the ancient painting techniques.

Alas...... My cheap uncle, these things of yours have long been outdated, they can't keep up with the current times, women generally like to wear short skirts and stockings, and men generally choose simple styles, who would be like you back then, eager to hang jewelry all over your body?

Lloyd was a little speechless at these embarrassing knowledge, feeling that although Uncle Cheap was forced to accept the status quo, he did not give up completely, and still wanted to train his cheap nephew in the perfect direction.

Forget it, he has been tormented by mental pollution and severe madness for I don't know how long, and it is understandable that his brain is not very good.

Lloyd secretly felt sorry for his cheap uncle, and made a final summary of this wave of inventory.

Then, he shook his head again, and felt as if something fragrant and soft was pillow on his head.

Only then did he notice that when he was busy arranging various things before, his body involuntarily lay down on the sofa, and his head was inexplicably resting on Hiltina's delicate and smooth thighs......

Lloyd couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly tried to struggle to get up, but was forcibly pressed to his chest by a pair of soft thorns, preventing him from leaving.

Then, Hiltina lowered her head slightly, smiled wickedly at Lloyd, and kept kneading his cheek with her hand, as if she had found some interesting new toy.

And the dean's voice continued to come from the candle flame:

"What's going on? Why is there no movement? It's been a long time, right? Could it be that something is wrong? ”

"I didn't ...... No, I'm fine, those inheritances are not dangerous, and they have benefited me a lot. ”

"That's good, that's good, then you should hurry up and digest the gains."

The dean said, and said earnestly and encouragedly:

"Lloyd, you must fulfill the last wish of this [Brilliant Gold] as soon as possible, you must redouble your efforts!"

Lloyd also replied with an oath:

"Please rest assured, although I don't have many shortcomings, my biggest advantage is hard work!"

Dean: "............"

After some thought, he finally reminded:

"Okay, you have a good rest today, and remember to go back to the academy on time."

With that, the candle flame flickered a few times and went out.

"Sleep for a while, you've worked hard this time, just sleep next to me for a while."

Hiltina also said very gently.

Although Lloyd also felt a little sleepy, he still did not close his eyes in a hurry, but reached out and grabbed Hiltina's hand, and said:

"Actually, I can help you share more mental pollution, like now."

"Well, I know, but I can't, and I can't hurt you all the time."

Hiltina said in that affectionate tone, then changed her position, got into Lloyd's arms, pressed her face to his chest like a kitten, and continued:

"It's all said that we want to move forward together, don't always think about taking on everything by yourself, with you by my side, I am much better than before, both mentally and humanly......

Well, don't think about it anymore and go to sleep. ”

Hiltina's words were incomparably gentle, as if there was a unique magic, causing Lloyd to close his eyes and slowly fall asleep.

……………………

When Lloyd opened his eyes again, he found that he had only one head left in his body, and he couldn't feel his body and limbs at all.

And his own head is being held in someone's hands, walking through a silver-white corridor.

Worst!

Could it be...... Hiltina mistook me for a scumbag and took me to a firewood knife while I was asleep, right?

Lloyd panicked, but he couldn't struggle, so he could only let others hold his head, and walked through the silver corridor to a laboratory with a very sci-fi atmosphere.

From Lloyd's limited perspective, he could only see light curtains flying around, somewhat similar to the laboratory of the space department.

Then, his eyes revealed a handsome and extraordinarily handsome young face that was only slightly inferior to his own.

He looked at himself with interest, and then smiled wickedly, and said:

"Interesting ideas, your ideas are always like the stars in the sky, there are countless of them."

This man was speaking an ancient language that Lloyd didn't understand at all?

And he didn't seem to have the translation of the "Book of Truth" in his head, so he could only barely understand the general meaning by relying on the fragments of knowledge related to the ancient language that he had obtained earlier......
