In his letter, Valdés outlines the causes and consequences of the family heirloom.

To put it simply, at the beginning of the establishment of the quiet city, his great-great-grandfather relied on this heirloom to establish his family's workshop, and it was thriving, with various "tracks", "pain points", "blue oceans", "verticals", "blocks" and "brands".

Then, in his great-grandfather's generation, the ancestral workshop reached its peak, and when it was about to achieve a class leap, the heirloom glasses were confiscated by the Order on the grounds of 'illegal possession of high-risk contraband'.

It is naturally difficult to discuss, but since then, the ancestral workshop has rapidly declined, and finally degenerated into what Lloyd saw.

Valdés' ancestors insisted that their family had suffered injustice, and that the so-called 'high-risk contraband' was just an excuse, and that people with ulterior motives must have deliberately acted in the dark against their family's wealth.

Their family had also tried to retrieve the family heirloom, and they had made a lot of efforts to do so, and all kinds of appeals and arbitrations had been made to no avail, and in the end, they only received a cold reply that 'something was in the hands of the Sage', signaling them to go to the Sage.

So 'recovering treasures and finding justice' has become their family's obsession and ancestral teaching.

In Valdés' generation, he decisively became a transcendent being, hoping to find the opportunity to meet the Sage.

However, the Sage was never able to cast his gaze on him from beginning to end......

He also inquired around through some of his connections, especially his 'brother Lindsay' who helped him the most, helping him to find out that the family heirloom was sealed in the treasure house of the saint.

Since he couldn't see the Sage, and tried all other methods, Valdés started to think crookedly, and tried to win Lloyd into the gang.

Although what happened to their family is indeed quite miserable, and it is indeed possible that they have really been 'shady', but this is only a one-sided word after all, and it is also a one-sided word passed down from Valdés's ancestors.

Lloyd naturally didn't believe it all, and even found two things that didn't make sense-

If someone really looks down on their family heirloom, why not take it for themselves and give it to the Holy One?

If someone really covets their property, then why doesn't anyone buy their workshop when the dust settles? Instead, let it decline?

And their family has been complaining and visiting everywhere for this, seeking arbitration, tossing and turning for so many years, but they have not met a single person who helped them uphold justice? Society isn't that dark, is it?

These irrationalities made Lloyd more inclined to think that their family heirloom might be a bit problematic......

In other words, the heirloom is very important to the intellectual sage, and it was personally taken by the sage and 'snatched by skill'.

But whatever the possibility, running to steal the Sage's stuff is a self-defeating act.

Lloyd even felt that Valdés himself was more or less aware of this, but he was trapped by the ancestral teachings instilled by his father since childhood, so that even if he didn't want to believe in reality, he still stubbornly wanted to persevere.

So Lloyd's reply begins with a stern rejection of Valdés' 'invitation' and a reminder not to try to offend the majesty of a saint.

But he immediately changed his words and said that he had a way to communicate with the Sage of Knowledge, and he could solve the matter through dialogue, instead of stealing.

Finally, he stressed that Valdés should not act rashly and wait for his own news first.

After writing the reply, Lloyd thought about finding a stamp to glue and send it.

But when you think about it, don't you happen to have a 'messenger' by your side?

So he took out a map of the Quiet City, found the address left by Valdés, and calculated the spatial coordinates.

Then he called out his [projection], controlled it to change its claws and head, and then picked up the letter, passed through the portal, and went to Valdés's workshop.

Lloyd himself will not go, otherwise it will seem as if he is personally delivering the letter, which is very undeserving.

As a progressive youth who aspires to become a saint, of course, he has also learned to use messengers to deliver letters.

Of course, this is not strictly the correct use of the word 'courier', whether it is the letter sent by the housekeeper to Lloyd or the letter of acceptance from Mizkatok, it is the kind of courier who can act independently, not a 'marionette' like Lloyd.

So Lloyd's behavior is actually just a messenger in the 'cosplay' butler.

But it didn't matter, Valdés couldn't tell the difference, and was startled by the 'monster' that suddenly appeared in his workshop.

"Wow!! Ghost...... What the hell!! ”

He yelled and quickly took out a revolver and emptied the drum at the 'monster'.

As a result, the 'monster' didn't move, just stretched out its claws very casually, gently twisted a bullet that might hit itself, and with a little force, the hard bullet was neatly cut in two.

Valdés' face turned pale......

Lloyd, who was hiding behind the portal, couldn't help but snicker, but he didn't continue to scare Valdés, just put the reply on the table, and then let [Projection] return to the portal without saying a word.

It seems that after [Projection] has undergone [Synchronous Enhancement], various attributes are stronger than my body, and with my current reaction and speed, I really can't grab bullets with my bare hands.

Lloyd nodded, feeling the power of his [projection] from the details.

I feel more and more that this thing is a bit like the 'natal flying sword' in Xianxia, the 'natal magic weapon' or something.

It's a pity that it doesn't have the slightest intelligence at all, and it can't even execute the simplest and most basic commands, and every move must be controlled frame by frame, otherwise it can only be stupid to stick in place.

It's not as good as a small milk cat......

I don't know if I can make it a little smarter in the future, at least learn the daily chores of laundry, cooking, and sending letters, right?

Lloyd looked forward to it in his heart.

Then I looked at the time again, it was already late in the academy, and it was time to go to bed.

As a result, he had just laid down, and before he fell asleep, he felt a soft and fragrant body in his arms, exuding a feel and smell that he was extremely familiar with.

Hiltina came to him again.

It should be that he is worried that he will inexplicably enter the state of [Thinking Deep Dive] like last time.

It's just that this Hiltina is invisible and can't speak yet......

Lloyd didn't mind, if a normal Hiltina threw a hug like this, she wouldn't be able to hold it and cook the raw rice......

"Good night, Hiltina."

Lloyd whispered, rubbed Hiltina's head again, and put his arms around her, gradually falling asleep.

He was not in a hurry to tell Hiltina about Valdés, he planned to wait until tomorrow morning.

……………………

Valdés, on his side, waited until the previous 'monster' had disappeared for a while, and then approached in horror and picked up the letter that the 'monster' had placed on the table.

He thought it would be some kind of threatening letter, threatening that he would have to join some illegal organization.

As a result, I opened it and took a look......

How did Lloyd send it?

It turns out that the monster just now is Lloyd's messenger?

Damn it, how did you choose such a curious messenger?

Can it be a little aesthetic? A bit of taste?

Valdés let out a long sigh and cursed inwardly.

Then I opened the letter and looked at it.

When he saw Lloyd refuse the invitation and remind him not to mess around, Valdés chuckled in his heart, and a strong sense of disappointment and frustration arose.

But immediately looking at the back, he suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"How can he contact the Sage of Wisdom? And be able to communicate with each other? ”

"This ......"

This news can be said to be extremely shocking for Valdés.

In his eyes, even if the Sage of Wisdom occupies the heirloom, it is an existence that can only be looked up to.

In order to meet the Sage, he had thought of countless ways before, but the other party was still unattainable and difficult to reach......

But how could Lloyd communicate with the Sage?

And it's 'liaison', not 'audience'?

This...... Could he already be on an equal footing with the Sage?

But doesn't he look like he's only a third-order?

Could it be the influence of His Holiness behind it?

Valdés made up for it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

It had been a long time since Jenkins had been in trouble, and he hadn't seen His Holiness for a long time.

I wonder how much strength he has regained now?

But since it can be noticed by the Sage of Knowledge, it must have recovered a lot, right?

So much so that the Holy One had to maintain respect for Him and let one of His dependents make contact.

Isn't it okay, the Holy One can't contact the Venerable One directly, so he has to tell him like this, right?

After some cranky thinking, Valdés felt that his family heirloom should be stable!

If someone can speak and get back the heirloom through legal means, then he definitely doesn't want to take risks, and even affect his friends for it.

"It seems that the most correct decision I have ever made in my life was to join the Symposium on the Future of Humanity and have been fortunate enough to have His Holiness watch."

Valdés first sighed with relief, and then muttered in a low voice:

"If only I could be a dependent......

But it was clear that it was impossible, and he knew it himself, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, and ran to the cupboard to dig out a bottle of wine.

He poured himself a glass and another cup for an empty glass.

"Father, I can finally fulfill my grandfather's last wish!"

Valdés poured the extra glass of wine on the ground and drank his own again.

Then he rubbed his face vigorously and began to think about the next more important question in his mind-

What should I take to thank Lloyd for his help?

What should I show to thank the Holy One for his generosity?

……………………

Early the next morning after the academy time, Lloyd first helped Hiltina share the mental pollution in the [Thinking Domain] according to the usual practice, and thus upgraded by one level, and then added 5 attributes to [Rationality] and [Rationality] to 665 points.

Then he said in that scumbag-like meaty tone:

"Dear Hiltina, there's something I want to ask you for help with."

Hiltina tilted her head slightly, looked at him with some confusion, then stretched out her hand and gestured, motioning for him to go outside and speak.

So Lloyd's curious [projection] turned into a pretty and lovely Hiltina again, and then listened to him talk about Valdés.

It should have been a simple trifle, but Hiltina was a little inexplicably unhappy after listening to it.

"Hmph~ I know, no wonder they will take the initiative to call me dear, sure enough, it is for someone else's business......"

Lloyd hurriedly launched the scumbag speech and explained:

"How so? I like Hiltina the most, but I'm afraid you'll dislike me, so I'm not going to keep calling me like this......"

"Humph! You idiot...... I just like meat, and the more meaty you call, the better. ”

So Lloyd hurriedly made up a few 'babies', 'darlings' and 'sweethearts', and then combined with the sweet words in the scumbag's words, he was ruthlessly numb.

Until Hiltina couldn't stand it anymore, she blushed and waved her hand.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, you can write a letter to Bair about it, and I'll bring it to you."

Lloyd hurriedly took out a pen and paper and asked one more question:

"It shouldn't embarrass you, right?"

"No, it's just a little thing, just give it back to your friend, Baier is very optimistic about you."

Hiltina said indifferently, and while Lloyd was writing the letter, she put her arms around his back from behind, and gently bit him on the shoulder, one bite at a time, as if she wanted to taste him, and like a child biting a toy.

She tickled Lloyd for a while, and the letter could not be written, so she had to find a way to get Hiltina to 'loosen her mouth' first, so she discussed with her:

"By the way, is this eyeglass heirloom really precious? How could it be put into the treasure house by the Sage of Wisdom? ”

"You said it was in the treasury, so how precious can it be? If it's something really important, don't you always have it with you? ”

"It seems to be the same...... And Hiltina do you have such a treasure trove? ”

Hiltina didn't answer directly, but hugged Lloyd's waist tightly from behind, and said with a smile:

"Hee-hee, my treasure trove is being held tightly in my arms."

These words tickled Lloyd's heart, and he quickly changed the topic:

"Then is there really something wrong with their family heirloom?"

"It's probably some ancient creature that spreads forbidden knowledge, and it's with the help of your friend's ancestors that the workshop is thriving......

What's more, as far as I know, Bayer was trapped in severe schizophrenia before, where will there be any treasure trove? There is a dangerous warehouse for all kinds of forbidden things, and I don't know what terrible things are stored in it......

Specifically, ask him in the letter. ”

"So that's it? Phew~ Fortunately, I didn't say yes to Valdés' invitation. ”

Lloyd couldn't help but say with some trepidation.
