I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd then chatted with the former dean and listened to him talk about the "Book of Illusion" and the specific circumstances of this trial.

"How should I put it... This so-called trial was originally intended to provide students with a convenient place to assess and test their own strength. Students who perform well can get some rewards from me, and also It’s the so-called precious knowledge and power…”

"But then the situation changed. I felt the curse coming, discovered the changes in knowledge, and foresaw the end of the world. After sealing that part of my consciousness into the book, the purpose of the trial also changed. I hope that when future generations come in, they can wake me up.”

"But then the situation changed again. The environment deteriorated too fast, far beyond my expectation. My desperate miraculous magic failed to fully take effect, which caused my consciousness in the book to fall into a deep state. coma……"

"So after the students at the back came in, although I could barely wake up and feel their presence and behavior, I couldn't communicate with them like this. It wasn't until you came in with the beacon of my old friend that I I'm truly awakened."

"Okay, that's about it. If you have any other questions, we can wait until we get out. I've been sleeping for so long, so it's time to go out and see this new world."

After the former dean rambled on for a long time, he stood up again and began to do warm-up exercises on the spot, looking eager to try.

Lloyd was keenly aware that the temporary space he was in was beginning to be shaky and unstable, and it might collapse soon...

"Eh? The trial is over?"

he asked quickly.

"Of course, the trial is over the moment you see me. All that's left is just a chat between a dean and a student."

The former dean said, still continuing to do warm-up exercises——

It seemed like ordinary movements such as expanding the chest and raising the legs, but every time he moved, Lloyd could feel the temporary space shaking, as if something was trying to break free from the shackles.

Is this really okay?

Lloyd couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he asked:

"That...reward for the trial?"

"Huh? Didn't I just give it to you?"

"Doesn't it mean that there will be any valuable knowledge and power?"

"Well... don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's all yours..."

The former dean was talking, and then he urged:

"Oh, by the way, you have to find a new container for this part of my consciousness. It must be low-key. I don't like to be noticed, and I don't want to interfere with your affairs as an ancient dead person. I'm just pure I want to go out and have a look.”

With the warm-up exercise in front of him, the entire space was shaking violently, and his own figure was gradually fading and becoming transparent, looking more and more like a ghost or other spirit body. .

Lloyd didn't have time to think too much. He quickly reached out and rummaged through his storage bag and asked again:

"Container...in addition to being low-key, can it be more specific?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can hold things, it would be better if it could be a little more beautiful and personalized."

This standard was too arbitrary. On the contrary, it made it difficult for Lloyd to make a choice. He had to take out something he grabbed and asked:

"Is this ok?"

What he took out was a small decompression toy that Professor Toledo had given him before, which could hold things.

At this time, the former dean's figure was almost completely transparent, which seemed to have affected his vision, so he said nonchalantly:

"I can't see now, but it doesn't matter. If you can get recognition from my old friend, your aesthetic taste shouldn't be a big problem, right? I'm willing to believe in your choice."

After saying that, like a wisp of smoke, he got into the small decompression toy that Lloyd took out and commented again:

"Huh? This place is nice. It seems to be some kind of wonderful engineering creation?"

"Uh...as long as you're satisfied."

Lloyd replied somewhat dumbfounded.

He didn't know whether he should tell the other party that the thing his cheap uncle disliked most about him was his artistic aesthetic...

As a result, the former dean was still shouting enthusiastically:

"That's no problem, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lloyd felt his vision blur, followed by a feeling of dizziness.

........................

At this time, the outside of the Mage Tower was completely shrouded in night, and Lloyd had been in for more than ten hours.

The mood of the onlookers outside has been going through several rounds of ups and downs, and now they have become somewhat numb.

Earlier, when Lloyd persisted for half an hour, they admired, they praised, and they recognized the gold content of the Outstanding Contribution Medal.

When Lloyd persisted for an hour, they were shocked, surprised, and unbelievable.

And when Lloyd persisted for three hours and broke Hiltina's record, they suspected, they questioned, and they speculated that there was something wrong with the trial.

As for the later time, they were bored and looking forward to it. They just wanted to know how long Lloyd could stay in there?

"Professor? There seems to be some movement!"

"Huh? What's going on? The ground is shaking?"

"No! It's the Tower of Illusion! The Tower of Illusion is shaking and is about to collapse! Everyone, run!"

"Professor? Where is the professor? Think of a way to save him!"

Accompanied by a commotion, the mage tower containing the "Book of Illusion" swayed for a while, then collapsed, stirring up billowing smoke and dust, making the entire school district tremble slightly.

Professor Armitage was actually at the scene. He also had the ability to change the situation, but he did not take action. Instead, he froze on the spot, letting himself be enveloped in smoke and dust, and being hit by broken bricks and rubble. He still stood there. at every turn.

He seemed to be frightened, or he seemed to have noticed something...

Fortunately, for this group of strong mages, the collapse of a mere building did not cause any casualties. Soon, people began to shout one after another:

"Ahem! What happened? What happened?"

"Are the people from the engineering department causing trouble again? Or is the space department doing some experiments again?"

"Did anyone get hurt? Did they make a noise? Hmm... It doesn't seem like there was one... Then did anyone die? Say something in response? Hmm... It doesn't look like there was one."

"Look, you guys! There are living people there!"

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Lloyd's figure emerged from the pile of ruins, coughing and fanning the dust around him, and then said as if talking to himself:

"This is none of my business. I can't afford to pay for it... Oh? You don't need to pay for it? That's fine..."

Professor Armitage, who was standing not far away, came to his senses when he saw Lloyd. He quickly dusted himself off and hurried forward to greet him. He was about to ask questions when he noticed that Lloyd was holding a baby in his arms. That little decompression toy.
