I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"Ok?"

Lloyd suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Only then did he realize that he had been standing on the top rooftop of a tall tower at some point. Only then was he able to look down from a high position and take in a panoramic view of the lifeless scene in front of him.

It turns out that the long and narrow corridor that he walked through before was already climbing this high tower? Just don't realize it at all?

So looking at it this way, considering the location of this tower, the apocalyptic scenery that I'm overlooking should be this extraordinary school district with many towers?

But why is it so similar to my [thinking field]?

At this moment, Lloyd's thinking seemed to have completely returned to normal from the previous comfortable and intoxicated state, and a lot of questions popped up in an instant.

But now is obviously not the time to consider these issues——

Not far from him, an old man with gray hair and beard appeared. He was wearing a pure white mage robe and a large round pointed hat of the same style as Professor Lawrence. He looked amiable. , looking highly respected.

Is he also a professor?

Just when Lloyd had this thought in his mind, he suddenly noticed that the figure of the old man in front of him became a little blurry and shrunk, and began to flicker continuously.

He suddenly turned into a huge eyeball with bloodshot threads and connected by strands of nerve bundles.

It suddenly turned into a pile of indescribable pieces of meat, slowly squirming.

Then it turned into a bloody mouth full of fine teeth, wide open, and human arms could be seen inside, struggling hard to leave this bottomless abyss.

The image of the other party kept changing back and forth between a respected professor and various strange and curious scenes, until he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

But then, the old man's voice continued to come over:

"It seems that my disguise is meaningless to you, so it would be better if I don't show up."

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly:

"Uh...are you the professor here?"

"Well, you can think so and call me Hazred."

The old man who was no longer visible replied.

"Well, it's an honor to meet you, Professor Hazlade, so regarding the "Book of Truth" you just mentioned, I actually..."

Lloyd originally wanted to make a few excuses and refuse to admit it.

As a result, I heard a gentle chuckle floating in the air:

"Haha~ My child, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you, and there is no need for you to deny it... In other words, I should thank you for snatching back the "Book of Truth" from that shameful traitor and thief in Eskimir."

"what?"

Lloyd couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that this matter was actually related to the lunatic consultant?

The old man was still explaining patiently:

"Eskimir is the most notorious traitor in the history of our Mizkatok. Although I feel that he is not dead yet, he has lost the "Book of Truth" and has also lost the ability to touch the 'greatness'. Maybe, I don’t care so much about his life and death...

So in recognition of your outstanding contribution to Mizkatok, I will give you ten points. "

Eh? Is there such a bargain to be found?

Lloyd was a little surprised, but he quickly thought of a not-so-good possibility——

Doesn't this require you to return the "Book of Truth" yourself?

Putting aside the question of whether to part with it or not, this thing is lingering in my mind. How can I return it? Isn't it possible to split the brain?

Lloyd suddenly became nervous and quickly covered his head. He took a few steps back and tried to defend himself:

"That...I..."

The old man quickly explained as if he was afraid of scaring him:

"Haha~ I said, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you, and I will not ask you to return the "Book of Truth"... In other words, since you can hold it now, it means that it chose you, then I Naturally, there is no reason to take it back.”

"Huh...is that so? I thought..."

Lloyd gradually relaxed, and couldn't help but feel a little more cordial and trustful towards the old man. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, he simply asked:

"Speaking of which, Professor Hazlade, what exactly is this book? Although I got it, I don't know much about it. I always feel that it is weird..."

"Huh? It seems that it hasn't been too long since you got it? You haven't had time to read it yet?"

"Yes, or rather, I don't know how to 'read' it yet..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, don't be anxious, just leave this to time and circumstances."

Professor Hazlade gave a slightly odd answer.

Leave it to time and circumstances?

Do you mean you want me to get involved in various events?

Putting it this way... the reading progress of "The Book of Truth" has increased, as if it has experienced various events and been recorded by it one picture after another, and then the progress has increased...

But where is reading here? It's more like writing a book...

Lloyd couldn't help but sneered, and then heard Professor Hazlade continue:

"After you read it completely, remember to reflect on it several times. Each time you reflect on it, it will bring you different knowledge and power."

"Is that so?"

Lloyd probably understands a little bit.

It seems that you first find a way to fill up the reading progress before you start reading, and then you will get some benefits every time you read?

It has been quite some time since I obtained the "Book of Truth", but I just found the 'Instruction Manual' now?

Unfortunately, Professor Hazlade did not have a more detailed explanation, so he changed his words and asked:

"Okay, can you tell me how you snatched the "Book of Truth" from the traitor Eskimir? With your current strength, it might be difficult to meet him, right? Even if you mastered it, The legendary [distortion]..."

"Ah? You...how do you even know this?"

Lloyd was even more surprised now.

My own [distorted] system has been well hidden by me. Even the saints didn't notice it. How come this professor saw through it at a glance?

His rational thinking told him that Professor Hazlade was very dangerous and it was best not to communicate with him anymore and find a way to get out as soon as possible.

But in my heart, I couldn't be hostile or wary towards this professor. I even subconsciously believed that he would not hurt me and I could continue to communicate with him.

This feeling is really weird...

The professor opposite seemed to be aware of Lloyd's thoughts, smiled again, and said:

"In the outside world, [Distortion] may be a quite fearful power, and is even listed as a taboo system, but in Mizkatok, everything is free, and no one will arrest you because of your system. You, so you can relax a little…

Hmm... In other words, with Hiltina's trust in you, even if you are outside, no one will attack you because of [distortion], right? "

Lloyd was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled by the unfamiliar name that suddenly appeared.

There is no one named this among my acquaintances?

"Huh? Hiltina? Who is that?"

He quickly asked:

"Oh? It seems that your relationship with her is not as good as I expected?"

The professor opposite seemed a little surprised by this, so he introduced the stranger by the way:

"Well...she was once an outstanding student of Mizkatok, as outstanding as you...but later, she chose to leave the academy to take on the responsibilities and pain that she could have avoided...

But what surprised me was that she actually shouldered such a heavy responsibility and made a contribution to the continuation of mankind that I am proud of. "

After hearing what he said, Lloyd could guess who this stranger was.

But he still waited patiently for the professor to continue:

"So, people outside began to follow her and call her -

Overrule the saint. "
