Chapter 462 461.You are promoted to the fifth rank first

By the time Lloyd came to the Sanctuary again, it was almost 6 p.m.

Outside the door, the old priest was still in charge of the reception, but Lloyd lost his interest in touring and hurried straight to the strange corridor.

It's a pity that when I go in again this time, there is not such a strong spiritual pollution, and Lloyd walked to the end safely, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.

As a result, when I opened the door, the scene inside was even more messy than the last time I came, not to mention all kinds of semi-finished products on the floor, and there was a lot of scratch paper, on which were a lot of line drawings and blueprints that Lloyd couldn't understand.

The chopped pepper fish head and the embodied sage were still together, fiddling with a piece of something, and when they saw Lloyd coming in, they hurriedly beckoned:

"Coming? Then come and try this. ”

“…………”

The embodied Sage said, handing Lloyd a strange lump of metal in his hand.

Lloyd took it and took a look, and found that this thing was silver and white, so smooth that it could reflect his face, almost no weight, and could automatically float in his palm, slowly rotate, and then randomly change into all kinds of geometric shapes, triangles, cubes, cylinders, etc., etc.

It looks very magical, quite sci-fi and dreamy.

And at the moment of getting his hands on this piece of metal, Lloyd felt an itch in his head, thinking that the "Book of Truth" was flipping, and then he 'took a closer look', but it was the "Book of Illusion" that was cushioned underneath that was reacting.

It was flipping on its own, and then it automatically emerged a complex three-dimensional design drawing, as if a mysterious three-dimensional scene had been built on paper.

I don't understand it......

"How? Is there any movement in "The Book of Illusion"? ”

The former dean asked.

Lloyd nodded, truthfully explaining the changes in the Book of Illusions, and truthfully admitting that he couldn't understand what those three-dimensional scenes represented.

"It's okay, don't worry, you go to the fifth rank first, and then you should be able to gradually understand."

The former dean comforted with a slight smile.

"So what the hell is this ......"

Lloyd hurriedly asked.

As a result, the former dean gave a very irresponsible answer:

"A kind of [vanity] that the two of us have managed to embody, have you ever understood [vanity]? No? It's not easy to explain, it's a very esoteric course, and it will take a long time to explain it to you, so don't talk about it at all, and feel the taste and understanding for yourself. ”

"Uh...... Isn't that good? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, for this level of knowledge, there's no point in relying on someone else's teaching, you can understand that what each of us can see and touch is different......

Especially for you, who hold the Book of Truth, what I and he can reach, you may not be able to understand, and in the same way, what you see may also be beyond our reach...... In short, just listen to me, put this close to the body, don't lose it. ”

The former dean only gave an ambiguous answer in the end, which made Lloyd a little helpless.

You can't expect this sage who speaks all with ellipses to explain to himself, can he?

"Okay, okay, we should go back too, I've been tired enough these days."

The former dean hurriedly urged again.

But Lloyd was still a little unwilling, and asked again:

"Huh? Let's go? But what about my projection? ”

This time, it was the embodied sage who replied:

“…………”

The former dean hurriedly spoke to help translate:

"He said don't worry, Ling's [projection] is very powerful, there is nothing wrong with it except that it is ugly, and as you deepen your understanding of [Illusion], it will become more powerful, and of course it may become more ugly......"

"It's not...... Is His Majesty the Sage really expressing this? ”

Lloyd asked in surprise, only to see the embodied sage nodding......

Outrageous! Are you psychology or mind reading?

"Okay, okay, let's go out first, he's tired from tossing this thing, let him rest for a while."

The former dean continued to urge, and floated out first.

Lloyd had no choice but to say goodbye to the saint politely, and then hurriedly chased after him.

Because portals are not allowed in the city, Lloyd had to follow the former dean to the nearest tower, preparing to take the high-speed elevator there to leave the city buried underground first, go to the surface and then go through the portal.

Along the way, Lloyd couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and made all kinds of inquiries and inquiries:

"Has the mental state of His Majesty improved?"

"Huh? Didn't you notice? After some enlightenment from me, he is much more cheerful than the last time we met. ”

Do you call this cheerful?

So what should I be called? Talkative?

Lloyd sneered in his heart.

As a result, the former dean noticed the change in the expression on his face, and immediately asked:

"What's that look on your face? Am I wrong? For a person with severe autism like him, how can it take him a few days to recover? It's all gradual. ”

"I understand everything, it's just ...... The intellectual sage who suffered from severe schizophrenia before, I think he is recovering quite well? ”

"How do you compare these two types of patients? It seems that you really don't understand psychology and mental health...... Since you've said he's severely schizophrenic, how do you know if he's going to suddenly change the next time you meet him? ”

"This ...... Probably not, right? I did the Sage of Wisdom a small favor before, so I should have cured his symptoms, right? ”

"Oh? I think I've heard Hazleder say this, you helped him capture a gangster of the Forgetfulness system, right? This is useful, but unfortunately it does not cure the root cause......

The Sage named Bair, his method of dividing consciousness is somewhat similar to that of our Mizkatok, but it is more superficial, and as a result, he uses this method to fight against mental pollution, and he is destined to not escape the effects of schizophrenia...... Forget it, let's not talk about this. ”

The former dean shook his head and took the initiative to divert the topic:

"This time, Zamel and I worked hard to make this metal that represents [Void], just to see if it could become a new path, as a new direction to explore the future path, so I handed it over to you, who hold both the Book of Truth and the Book of Falsehood.

But you don't have to have any psychological burden, even if you fail, it's not a big deal, just treat it as a road that doesn't work, anyway, for the current situation of human civilization, it's always good to try anything. ”

After hearing this, Lloyd nodded, and then asked:

"Understood...... Is there anything I need to do about it? ”

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

"Didn't I say it's a new direction? Of course, it's a step by step, you can first promote to the fifth rank, and then see if you can get something through it. ”

In this way, the two chatted with each other, and it didn't take long to arrive at the nearest tower.

As a result, as soon as he walked in, Lloyd immediately felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

The interior here is quite similar to the advanced subway that can always +50, and it is the kind of pod-shaped cockpit that is used by tapping out a fixed frequency.

It seems that this 'advanced elevator' and 'advanced subway' should be products of the same period?

"It's like the subway in our bright city?"

Lloyd couldn't help but say.

"That's natural, it's all transformed from the legacy of the Twilight Age, but in comparison, it's more advanced than yours, and this one can only go straight up and down, and you can't even do the designated position."

The former dean explained to Lloyd the origin of the 'advanced subway' he discovered.

As a result, before he could finish speaking, the two of them crossed a depth of 10,000 meters through this set of 'advanced elevators' and came to the surface.

【Ding~Madness +30】

Lloyd couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard the hint in his ear.

It seems that the Bright City is more advanced, and it gives a little more madness value.

Once you leave the dungeon and come to the outer area of the Void City, the dreamy cleanliness and tidiness of the previous city will naturally disappear, and only a dirty town will be left in front of you.

But it was bustling with people coming and going, and there were plenty of steam trucks carrying all kinds of supplies, much like the Yorktown that Lloyd had been to before.

And not far away from where the two of them were, there were many people queuing, pulling the old elder, who should want to go to the dungeon below through the 'advanced elevator'.

But the speed of the team was very slow, everyone had to undergo strict cross-examination before they were released, and some friction broke out in the process, and all kinds of swear words came one after another.

Some of them also noticed Lloyd coming up from below, and even though they didn't know anything about it, they kept nodding at him, waving his hand in a friendly way, or showing all kinds of flattering smiles, as if they thought Lloyd was some kind of superior person coming up from below.

Lloyd didn't know much about them, but from their eyes, he felt that yearning and longing.

It seems that the people who live in this small town want to move to the clean and beautiful city below.

Although the town above is dirty, it is real and objective; The city below is beautiful, but it's not all real......

What people pursue and aspire to must be true?

Lloyd felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, feeling as if he had grasped something, but he was ethereal and could not grasp it.

The former dean just floated silently beside him, quietly observing, and didn't say anything.
