Chapter 448 447

"What the hell did you do last night? Why are they all on the wanted warrant? ”

Lloyd asked as he returned home with the newspaper and pointed to the 'big news' on the bulletin board.

The former dean let out a cold snort and said in a disdainful tone:

"Hmph~ Such a simple question, let the little milk cat answer you."

"Meow! Meow meow! Meow ......"

The little milk cat explained to Lloyd what happened last night very seriously.

Lloyd: "............"

Didn't understand a word......

This is simply perfunctory, right?

Lloyd was about to ask, but was preemptively interrupted by the former dean:

"Okay, okay, can I still hurt people? It's just a human observation and a look at the strength of these transcendents outside, as for the result...... Naturally, it's not satisfactory......"

Since he refused to say, Lloyd was not very easy to ask, so he could only make up for it on his own.

Someone probably noticed this pot of flying chopped pepper fish heads, which caused some kind of misunderstanding, and then had some skirmishes with some investigation teams?

There is definitely no way to hurt people, Lloyd still believes in the former dean at this point, as a [Bright Gold] in the past, even if he is a little downtrodden now, he will not bully the weak.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, and there were no casualties, but this statement of 'molesting young women' and 'near-death experience' made people a little concerned.

The former dean didn't have a girlfriend, so he wouldn't be so low-headed, right? It should also be some kind of misunderstanding?

As for what is the 'near-death experience', it may be because some investigators are using inspiration to lock it in?

If [Brilliant Gold] is regarded as the kind of god who walks in the world, then this kind of behavior of locking it with inspiration is tantamount to blasphemy, and in the end, he can pick up a life, maybe it is all the mercy of the former dean?

Lloyd was thinking wildly, when he heard the former dean urging angrily:

"Look at your expression, you're thinking nonsense again, right? Next year is not very old, why do you have so many ideas? Why is the mind so heavy? Do you want to go to this city of vanity? ”

"Those who are going are going, they are going."

Lloyd quickly retracted his thoughts, then took out a large world map from the storage bag, and then quickly calculated an approximate coordinate with the equipment of the space system, and then reached out to open a portal.

The whole process took less than five minutes.

This made the former dean couldn't help but be surprised, and he was not in a hurry to enter the portal, but asked first:

"How is it so fast?"

"Isn't that a normal speed?"

Lloyd asked rhetorically, a little confused.

Ever since the last time he participated in the False Trial, came into contact with that temporary alien space, and then was later deceived by the former dean from under his nose to save his life, Lloyd has always been shocked by the previous dean's spatial attainments, thinking that he is far above himself.

That's just a very basic operation like calculating the coordinates and opening a portal, so it shouldn't be worth his surprise, right?

Fortunately, the former dean immediately explained:

"It's a very basic technique, but you're too skilled and too fluent...... Maybe I'm better at using space at an advanced level than you, but when it comes to this basic skill, you're a little more powerful......

This shows that you have a natural sensitivity and affinity for the other space, as if you were born out of it. ”

After saying this, the pair of toy fish eyes of the former dean turned slightly, secretly observing Lloyd's facial expression.

The result is very calm, no sadness, no joy and no surprise.

Because of this statement, Professor Lawrence has said it once before......

I have been a native traveler since I was a child, and I have grown up with my sister Evrol, how can I be a creature in another space? That's just the effect of [Space Domination].

It's a pity that Lloyd couldn't explain his panel and [Space Domination] skills to others, so he could only smile indifferently and let others talk nonsense.

He didn't refute anything, just called the little milk cat, pushed open the portal first, and walked in.

The former dean floated in place, thinking briefly for a moment, as if wondering if Lloyd's calmness was expressing any intention?

But he didn't seem to figure out why, and finally just turned the head of the toy fish and floated into the portal.

……………………

"Oh~ City of Illusion, is it like this?"

Lloyd looked at the dreamy city in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

He didn't expect the City of Illusion to be like this?

The overall architectural style here looks similar to that of other cities except the Eternal City, which is in the Victorian European style on the other side of the earth.

However, the surface and surroundings of these buildings are covered with a faint layer of light, and show a constantly changing color, very colorful, looking like soap bubbles in the sun, wrapped in exquisite, beautiful, clean and new buildings.

This is incredible, although the City of Illusion is the second youngest city, only a little earlier than the City of Pleasure, but it is actually two or three hundred years old, but the streets, decoration, and buildings here are as new as a brand new city.

But good-looking is good-looking, dreamy is dreamy, but it gives Lloyd an 'unrealistic' illusion, as if these are fake, and with just a light poke, they will disappear without a trace like a soap bubble.

Lloyd then looked up at the sky, and it was blue, cloudless, and the sun was as warm and comfortable as a breeze, which was a perfect day.

However, above the canopy, there was the same faint light, as if the entire sky was packed in a soap bubble, and maybe it would be shattered in the next second.

Lloyd probably guessed something, maybe this is where the name of the city of illusion comes from?

This made him feel a little constrained, and he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that if he moved bigger, he would puncture this fragile sense of vanity.

And under this perfect blue sky and white clouds, there are several huge towers that are truly towering into the sky, distributed in multiple directions of the city, as if they are jointly supporting this canopy overhead.

"Are you opening the Book of Truth?"

Seeing this, the former dean on the side suddenly asked.

Lloyd nodded hurriedly.

"Then imagine in your head what it looks like to close it with force, and let it stop for a while, so you don't have to tremble all the time."

The former dean said, and then helped himself make up for it:

"No way, this book is the first step of the same genre, I didn't think about it that much at the time, and many aspects are not convenient and mature enough......"

That's right, "The Book of Truth" is also his 'work'......

Lloyd nodded, followed the other man's advice, and made up a picture of the book closed.

Then, his gaze flickered slightly, and the city in front of him suddenly became much more normal.

Although it is still unusually clean and beautiful, at least the layer of 'soap bubble' is gone, so there is no need to worry about puncturing it.

Such a contrast between before and after made Lloyd think of something again, and hurriedly asked in a low voice:

"The city ...... Is it fake? ”

"Not quite."

The former dean gave an ambiguous and eccentric answer.

"Uh...... What does that mean? ”

"You just think it's a half-truth, right? For example, the foundations of these buildings are fake, and they are conjured with the help of illusory powers, which is a bit similar to your [projection]? But be smart and real, don't worry about breaking like a soap bubble, and as for the buildings and the people coming and going, that's of course true. ”

After the former dean gave such an explanation, he suddenly tried to divert the topic without warning:

"Look, that girl over there is pretty too?"

Lloyd obviously didn't 'look' Yaxing, but just stretched out his finger and pointed to the perfect blue sky above his head, and asked:

"And this one is fake too?"

"Huh? Now that you've figured out the spatial coordinates here, haven't you taken a few more looks? ”

The former dean asked rhetorically.

Lloyd was stunned and quickly analyzed the spatial location of the city.

This is actually a giant dungeon buried nearly 10,000 meters underground?

This depth, this scale, is really incredible, and the civil engineers of the entire earth can't dig it out when they collectively cross over, let alone the level of science and technology here.

"This place...... Is it also a legacy of the glorious era? ”

Lloyd thought of only one possibility.

After all, there are no 'civil engineering saints' in this world, and I have never heard of any system of transcendent beings who are good at digging holes.

"It should be, but to be precise, it must have been made up in the later twilight era, maybe to build an underground shelter, right? If you look at those towers, are they very similar to the architectural style of our period? ”

Lloyd listened to what the former dean said, and hurriedly turned on his spiritual vision, and carefully looked at the giant tower of Babel, which was closest to him.

It turned out to be some kind of 'elevator', serving as a passage between the dungeon and the surface.

Although the exact internal structure is not clear, it gives Lloyd a sense of familiarity, somewhat similar to the 'advanced subway' that can always +50.

"I see, this place reminds me of the Eternal City and the City of Pleasure, as if there is an Eternal City, right? All built on the foundation of the shelter of the Twilight Age. ”

Lloyd has figured out the 'ins and outs' now.

"Well, I've heard Hazleder briefly mention it, but none of these shelters are finished, especially here, and it should have been just a foundation to be laid out at the time, and then you would have built this place into a beautiful city through the 'Great Frontier'."

The former dean said, and followed Lloyd around the street casually, ready to experience the customs here, and continued to say:

"This is also quite a remarkable achievement, and the Sage named Zamuel is even more remarkable, if it weren't for his 'vanity' to support the environment here, with your current level of technology, you would not be able to build a city at such a deep depth."

He gave the embodied Sage a very high rating, much higher than Hiltina's.

"Every Sage must be amazing, right? It's just that they may not think quite the same way as we do? ”

"Oh? Do you mean to say the Sage named Astra? Hazleder had mentioned him to me, and called him 'Astra the Pessimistic,' which I don't have a good opinion of, because I didn't like things like Destiny and Prophecy, and I wasted a lot of time trying to verify it, and it ended up being in vain......"

"This ...... I've heard of it, and I'm just like you, and don't believe in it, but the Lord [Forever Humble and Fearful] seems to have a different opinion? He also taught me a craft called crisis divination. ”

"Huh? Divination and prophecy are two completely different things, and the one he taught you is only a little similar, but it's still two different things......"

Lloyd walked and chatted with the former dean like this, and then every time he passed by passers-by, he would feel that sympathy and regret in the eyes of the other party.

In fact, in the city of illusion, the base camp of the [Manifestation] department, it is not surprising that there is something strange and strange around him, and along the way, Lloyd has seen several transcendent people who have gone shopping with [Projection].

Therefore, no one will be surprised by the chopped pepper fish head floating next to him, and they will be regarded as his 'projection' by others.

It's just that no one else talks to his 'projection' like him, which is essentially the same as talking to himself.

So these passers-by are probably sympathizing with Lloyd's mental state......

This made him cry and laugh for a while.

After shopping for a while, the former dean suddenly changed his words and said with some confusion:

"It's really strange, we've been here for a while, and the sages here don't even say hello?"

He didn't deliberately hide his existence, so it stands to reason that the embodied Sage should have been able to notice him as Hiltina did.

But the other party doesn't seem to be planning to deal with it......

"Has his autism gotten to this point?"

The former dean said with some tears and laughter, and then proposed:

"Then maybe we need to find him in a different way, can you contact the alumni association here? Ask if they can do anything? ”

"I can't get in touch, but I know two influential friends here, and they should have a way."

Lloyd said, reaching through the storage bag and finally pulling out a beautiful gilded business card.

This was given to him by little Olga when he was parting with him, and it had the address of their Iskar family on it.

Calculate the coordinates according to the address and map, and you can go straight there.

But just as Lloyd was about to draw out the portal, he suddenly felt a sight cast from a distant direction.
