Lloyd was not idle that night, first preparing the official letter to be handed over to the Order of Pleasure tomorrow as a way to prove his identity and intentions, and then continued to read the 'e-book' given by the Sage of Knowledge.

But his 'reading' behavior seemed a little strange to Evrol beside him, and he just sat on the sofa in a daze.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? What's on your mind? ”

Ephrol leaned closer to Lloyd and held out her little hand in front of his eyes, trying to call her brother back.

"Huh? I'm fine, I'm just reading a very special kind of book, sister, can you try it too? It's pretty magical. ”

Lloyd said, grabbing Everol's small hand and putting the crystal flake in his hand on it.

"Eh......"

Evrol held the slices in both hands, tilting her head slightly, looking dazed.

"Huh? Don't you see the corresponding information in front of you? ”

"No...... This should only be seen by the transcendent, right? I just think it's so light and fragile, I'd better give it back to you, I'm afraid I'll accidentally break it. ”

Ephrol said, quickly breaking Royd's hand and returning the flake to him.

It seems that this flake has also been encrypted by the Sage? Others don't show it?

It's normal......

Lloyd couldn't help but feel a little regretful, originally he also planned to recommend this new carrier to his sister, which is not much more upscale and convenient than ordinary paper magazines? How many times must this price be doubled? And it also eliminates the cost of printing and pollution in the process, which is simply a win-win.

But I just don't know if other people in the [intellectual] department can produce this kind of 'e-book'.

Lloyd continued to read, and Ephrol didn't bother him, just snuggled up to him, still holding the hammerhead shark puppet in her arms, and flipping through her magazine.

If you see what you like, the pair of smooth jade feet without socks will still sway from side to side, like two small fish swimming happily.

After shaking it like this until a pair of little feet became cold, he turned his mouth and said that he felt cold, and then changed his posture and took the initiative to stuff his feet into his brother's arms, which seemed a little cunning.

Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry either, so he had to look at the information while covering his sister's feet and kneading them gently to help her warm her up.

Anyway, on this issue, Lloyd felt that his sister and Hiltina showed a sharp contrast.

Maybe the Sage isn't afraid of the cold, right?

He can also feel that his sister really cherishes the experience in the past that he doesn't want to recall, and always finds a way to relive some of the intimate actions at that time.

It may be that in my own mind, there are many things, the world, the future, the human race, power, knowledge, rank, and so on......

But in my sister's heart, maybe it's just me, right?

An inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in Lloyd's mind, and then he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Even if it's for my sister, I must protect the world and deal with this crisis!

However, the more I read the information in my hand, the more frustrating it became.

The predecessors have really tried all possible methods, even some whimsical, such as the use of divination, and even the unpopular street witchcraft, and they are still helpless against this 0-006.

I don't even know how to disassemble it safely......

Even some crazy and almost suicidal methods have been boldly tried, such as forcibly snooping with inspiration and vision, and then sent to a mental hospital in less than two seconds.

Lloyd also had to admire this man's courage and awareness, that was the 'sage' used to resist spiritual pollution and filter forbidden knowledge, the ghost knew how dangerous things were inside, and he used inspiration and spiritual vision to forcibly snoop, even he didn't dare to fight like this.

The predecessors had tossed to this point in order to study 0-006, and there were almost no options left for future generations, so Professor Toledo thought of starting with the obviously more difficult and complex Elolo.

Although Elolo's side is obviously more difficult, at least no one has walked it, right?

Let's hope that Professor Toledo's plan will succeed, or at least find a path that works?

Lloyd could only hope in an optimistic direction.

In this way, he studied the information until it was time to go to bed, and then lay down directly on the bed, and did not [sneak] into Elolo's boudoir again.

Because we can officially meet tomorrow and we can play with our own hands, so you might as well give her a little surprise, right?

……………………

The next morning, Eloro opened his eyes groggily and looked up from a desk piled high with various documents, books, and forms.

Then at first glance she looked at the only neat and tidy area of her desk, which she had left behind, just to put her own letters and prepared small cakes on it, so that they would not get mixed up in the papers.

But neither the letter nor the cake ever touched it.

"Woo......"

Eloro inexplicably felt a sour nose, and tears began to roll uncontrollably.

She knew that her Lord Uther hadn't come last night......

I didn't fall asleep because of his arrival, but I was simply busy for a day and a night, and I was so tired that I fell asleep on the table.

If his own Lord Uther had come, he would have gently carried himself to bed, taken off his clothes and shoes, and then gently rubbed his feet so that he could sleep more comfortably and warmly.

But...... He didn't come last night......

He didn't come when he wanted to see him the most......

Is he also disgusted with my incompetence?

A thought of inferiority popped up in Elolo's head.

He knew something strange was going on on our side, and there was nothing I could do about it, I could only wait for help......

No one likes an incompetent, stupid, crying girl like me, and neither does he......

He's so good-looking, there must be a lot of other girls around him, right? Sure every one of them is better and prettier than me......

Elo thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and the tears finally couldn't hold back, and they poured out, just like the heavy rain outside the window, which had been raining all day.

Then, she curled up in the chair again, hugged her legs tightly, and hid her cute pretty face deep behind her legs, as if she didn't want people to see her crying secretly.

If it were a normal day, Eloro might not be so vulnerable, and he would certainly not have thought so much because of Lord Uther's one-night no-show.

But today, or rather yesterday, the situation is a little different -

Although the Pleasure Order believes in the creed of 'enjoying the moment and having fun in time' from top to bottom, there are still some reliable people who have discovered the abnormal phenomenon of the mental pollution suffered during the execution of monsters.

Many of the executors and executioners of the Joy Order were sent to psychiatric hospitals as a result......

However, being able to identify problems in time does not mean that they can solve them.

With the current strength of the Pleasure Order, there is no way to deal with this kind of thing, but to arrange for those with strength in the Order to temporarily fill the vacancy of executioners and executors.

However, the chain reaction caused by this caused several resource points on the outskirts of the city to be attacked by monsters because the garrisons were withdrawn, causing some casualties.

And some people found that it seemed that it was some kind of effect caused by this heavy rain, which made the surrounding monsters suddenly become active, and began to attack humans more frequently, and there was a faint tendency to converge into a tide of monsters.

This makes the already small number of strong people in the order even more lacking in skills, and they must deal with and deal with the possible tide of monsters.

But these are not the worst, what is really terrible is the panic that spreads rapidly through the city like a plague, it rains all day and the dark clouds that weigh down all day, making people feel as if the end is coming again.

In this place where there is a good time, people are more afraid of death.

As a result, the whole happy city suddenly became a mess......

The weather, monsters, and people's hearts are all in one day, and the whole city is gradually moving towards the abyss of losing control.

If a person is out of control, it can be solved by sending him to a psychiatric hospital or prison cell; But if a city gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable......

The Joy Order is already short of manpower and insufficient foundation, although it has been trying very hard to save the situation, but it seems to be powerless, and can only barely maintain it now, so that the city will not collapse in an instant.

But this is only a hard work, after all, it was only a day before the situation deteriorated to such a point, if it were two more days......

They also tried to ask for help from other cities, but they didn't know if it was due to bad weather, so the day passed without receiving any response.

Even if someone knew about it, they planned to come over for reinforcements, but it would be a few days later.

Until then, the City of Pleasure will have to survive on its own......

These are the things that have accumulated on Elolo's desk, and people hope that she, as the Sage here, can do something.

But her memory is only sixteen years old, although she knows what she should do and wants to do something, but she doesn't know what she can do?

Elolo already regretted his pampering and eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and if he could use the time to pick clothes, eat desserts, and watch the opera, he would not be so powerless.

I'm really useless, I'm not worthy of being a saint at all......

So under the double blow of the imminent form of the outside and the self-denial in the heart, Elolo broke through a big defense, and his emotions had collapsed.

If it weren't for a thought in her head reminding her to 'be strong', I'm afraid even reason would have collapsed......

The weight of this moment, slamming on her delicate shoulders, was obviously too much for her.

But even so, Elolo did not give up completely, and still carefully looked through every report and document, trying his best to understand the current state of affairs, and trying to think about what he should do.

But she was alone, and there was no one to help......

The Joy Order obviously knew that she had a few pounds and taels, so they didn't dare to let her participate in the decision-making, just like a routine notice, smashing the bad news on the desk in front of her.

So Elolo wished there was someone by his side, even if it was just to help comfort him.

So she took some time out of her busy schedule to leave a long, long letter to Lloyd, describing the crisis that the City of Pleasure was suffering from at this time, hoping to get Lloyd's help.

It's also because her mind was so chaotic and anxious when she wrote the letter that when she wrote it, she began to talk nonsense-

"If you help me save this city, even if you don't like me in the future, you can hate me!"

She even wrote such incoherent words......

But it also shows the weight of Lloyd in her heart, and she sees 'don't like me anymore' as an extremely terrible thing.

But she was still willing to take this as a price and begged Lloyd to help......

It's a pity that Lloyd didn't come last night, so naturally he can't see the letter......

Suddenly, without knocking on the door, he rushed into Elolo's office.

"Oh no! Sage! There is a situation in several abandoned research institutes in the city, and it is suspected that it is 'Miss Xie Bellida' who was abandoned before, but has not yet had time to be demolished, and they do not know what kind of impact they have been affected, and they are active again......"

A female secretary hurriedly spoke about the latest bad news with a page in her hand, only to notice that Eloro was curled up pitifully in her chair.

"Sorry...... Sage...... What are you...... Crying? ”

"Scare ......"

Eloro came back to his senses at this time, quickly shook his head vigorously, wiped his tears casually, and pretended to be calm and said:

"No, I just slept too late last night and my eyes are dry."

"Is that so? Would you like to take a break? I can put the news together for you. ”

"No need, I'm fine, I've been secretly sleeping for a while."

Elolo struggled to squeeze out a smile on his face, took the initiative to stand up again, took the bad news from the secretary's hand, and read it carefully.

The secretary reminded in a low voice beside him:

"Please take care of yourself, if anything happens to you, then our City of Pleasure will be doomed...... Would you like me to have some sweets for you? ”

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently saw the small untouched cake on the table.

"This ......"

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm fine, I don't need the cake, I still have what I didn't finish yesterday, you go and do your own business first."

Eloro sat back in his chair and held up the page in his hand, as if reading it word for word, but there were not many words on it, just trying to cover his face with a document.

The female secretary was about to leave, but a little hesitation and struggle suddenly appeared on her face, so she stopped and didn't dare to look back and asked:

"By the way, Sage...... I don't know if I can ...... Away for a while? I'm really worried about my kids and my husband ......"

"Well, it's okay, you go, I can take care of myself."

Eloro replied calmly.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that if the other party left, she might not come back, but find a way to escape to a safe place, right?

"Sure enough...... In the end, I was the only one left......"

After the secretary walked away, Elolo put down the document he was holding aloft and said in a choked voice.

"Lord Uther...... I miss you so much......"

She continued, her head hanging weakly, even the delicate little top hat on her head lowered, and tears once again occupied the delicate and lovely face.

Then, there was an auditory hallucination in her ears, and the voice that she had been thinking about day and night floated from behind:

"Well, I'd love to do that too."

"Woo...... I'm sorry, I'm so useless......"

"Huh? Why do you say this all of a sudden? Wait a minute! Why are you crying? ”

Eloro couldn't help but be stunned, and turned back sharply.

Then he saw Lord Uther, who had been haunted by his dreams, coming out of a dark crack, still looking at him in amazement.

"Uh......h Wow!!! ”

Elolo burst into tears like a child, and in a few steps she sprang over, and crashed headlong into Lloyd's arms, her hands clutching the hem of his clothes, and she would not let go of her hands so tightly.

Lloyd was clearly unaware of the terrible state of affairs in the City of Pleasure, and was a little confused.

It's true that I haven't seen each other in a while, but it's not like crying, right?

He felt that the shirt on his chest was soaked in an instant, and the temperature of tears passed through his skin into his heart, making him feel distressed for a while.

So he hurriedly hugged Elolo tightly, caressed her back, and kept rubbing her forehead with his cheek, trying to comfort her.

Fortunately, Elo didn't cry for too long, the tears dried up, and a pair of heterochromatic pupils became red, and he quickly rubbed them vigorously, and then sobbed and said:

"Lord Uther...... Town...... Dangerous...... Please...... Help me! ”

"Huh? What's going on here? ”

Lloyd asked, surprised.

Before opening the door, he also made up a picture of his reunion with Elolo, there are all kinds of plots, what crying with joy, hugging and kissing, or bouncing, startled, even Eloro hasn't woken up yet, and he has considered what method he should use to wake her up.

even went to a newsstand on the side of the road, bought a love and emotional magazine, and carefully read one of the experiences -

"Scumbag Commonly Used Words Award, after learning it, you will never be deceived again"

After jotting down those words, Lloyd opened the portal.

As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as the two met, the 'little girlfriend' actually said this......

And after being hugged by Lloyd, Elolo quickly 'came back to life', and he didn't care about me at all, so he pulled him to his desk and told him about the crisis in the City of Pleasure.

As Lloyd listened, he watched all kinds of bad news and couldn't help but feel a big head......

This Joy Order, no matter how new and unsubstantiated it is, it won't be like this, right?

It's obviously just a not-so-serious mutation, right? It only took one day to turn into a storm?

Your butterfly's wings are a little big......

Although the situation here is indeed a little more severe and complicated than other places, and it is strange weather and monster movements, it is not so chaotic, right?

What about your Holy One?

Oh yes, your Sage is feeding me a little cake......

Lloyd was now guilty of a very awkward question.

I'm here mainly to do academic research......

And with his own ability, he can't handle this kind of thing at all, right?

Although there are some strong teammates around him, what can he do if he is full of ten people?

Are your teammates willing to get involved in this kind of trouble?

Lloyd couldn't help but feel embarrassed and frowned slightly.

And Elolo, who had been looking at him all the time, also noticed the change in the expression on his face, and hurriedly put his arm around him and asked:

"Lord Uther? Do you have any good ideas? Or...... Is there any good way for His Holiness? ”

Obviously, Eloro had not yet linked 'Lord Uther' with 'His Holiness', and thought that Lloyd was a 'minion' sent by the Most High.

Although Lloyd didn't have much to do about this situation, he couldn't say 'no' in the face of Elolo's eyes full of hope and expectation, which were still flickering.

So he said:

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it."

"Great! I knew Lord Uther had a way! ”

Elolo jumped for joy.

"However, the situation is somewhat unexpected and beyond my previous preparations, so I need to leave for ten minutes temporarily, and in the meantime, you can see if you can hand over this official letter to the management of your Order."

Lloyd said, pulling out the official letter he had prepared the night before, and it was still hot with Mizkatok's fire paint.

Although Eloro did not know the origin of the fire paint, he could also realize the importance of this matter, so he accepted the letter and asked cautiously:

"That'...... Lord Uther, you'll be back soon, right? ”

"Definitely, don't worry, I won't leave you behind no matter what."

Lloyd inadvertently used the fresh vocabulary he had learned from magazines.

"Uh-huh! Then I'll go and help you deliver this letter first. ”

Elo nodded vigorously, and saw that there was still a small bite of the cake left on the left, so she picked it up again, smiled sweetly, and fed it to Lloyd's mouth.

"But wait until you've finished the last bite of cake."

Lloyd, in line with the principle of not wasting food, swallowed the cake in one bite, and then prepared to turn around and open the door to go back to the academy.

But Elolo tugged at his sleeve and said softly:

"Wait a minute, there's some cream on the corner of your mouth."

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe slightly, and used his pink little tongue to clean up the cream for Lloyd.
