I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Lloyd's first words caused the remaining people around him to fall into an awkward silence...

Fortunately, no one would interrupt him this way, so Lloyd could tell the truth about the incident.

From the traitor who killed his classmates, to being hunted down by the alumni association, to Mrs. Inessa's "best friend" Meyer shielding the murderer, to a series of sinister and despicable acts that followed, and finally to being "eradicated of the hidden disease" by Dr. Latio of the medical team.

After hearing the whole story, the other players at the scene first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"If that's the case, then this guy deserves what he got. I don't think there's anything wrong with Mizzi Katok's actions. If it were me, I would definitely avenge my dead classmates."

"Well, Mitzkatok's reaction is completely reasonable. It is intolerable to simply shield the murderer, not to mention all the things that happened later."

"I see. No wonder that lady was so angry. From what I understand, people in the [Manifestation] department seem to place special emphasis on 'friends' of the same level, right? It is said that this is related to whether they can be promoted to the eighth level. This is a clear conflict of interest."

"After hearing this story, I really yearn for Mitzikatok even more. Who wouldn't want to join such a united organization?"

Their reaction was exactly what Lloyd wanted. The most powerful counterattack against Mrs. Inessa's out-of-context and one-sided remarks was to restore the truth of the incident. This was also the best way to maintain the reputation of the academy, rather than arguing with her.

Arguing with a woman is doomed to fail...

What surprised Lloyd was that although the academy was very low-key and mysterious to the outside world, its reputation and fame were not low at all? People like these who had only had limited contact with the academy all had a very good impression of it, making them more willing to believe their own statements rather than the accusations of others.

At this time, one of Lloyd's former teammates suddenly asked:

"By the way, Mr. Newcomer, why do you know this matter so clearly? It's as if you have experienced it yourself?"

Lloyd did not intend to answer this question directly. At this time, all he needed to do was smile and say nothing.

The man seemed to have guessed something from this attitude, and immediately changed the subject and asked:

"It seems that you have a deep connection with Mitzkatok? Could you be from there?"

Lloyd didn't even need to answer this question. Someone immediately answered it for him:

"Please wait a moment. Even if you ask this, he won't answer. They have some weird rules there. It seems that they can't have too much involvement with the real world?"

"Yes, I have had contact with their people before, and they have a clear rule that nothing about the academy can be revealed, so you don't have to ask any more questions. It will only embarrass the newcomer."

"At times like this, the right thing to do is to do what I did."

A former opponent said, pulling a business card from his pocket and handing it to Lloyd.

When I took it and looked at it, I saw the address and title of a private organization on it.

The rest of the people followed suit and gave Lloyd their business cards.

I took them and looked at them. They either held important positions in religious groups in other cities, or were leaders in non-governmental organizations. In any case, they looked quite impressive on the business cards.

Unfortunately, Lloyd had never prepared anything like this, and he didn't have any prominent position to brag about, so he could only smile and simply say:

"I am Lloyd from the Radiant Order. If there is a chance in the future, let's work together."

After saying that, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was almost time, so he stood up, politely said goodbye to everyone, then found his waiter, took the next ingredients prepared for his sister, and left the 'Dream Theater'.

After he left for a long time, the remaining four players began to discuss:

"Lloyd? This name sounds familiar? He seems to be a super star of the Radiant Order?"

"Yes, there is indeed such a person. I have heard of this name in the City of Silence. It seems that he is highly valued and loved by Master Elfreddy... But it should not be this person. The two of them just happen to have the same name. After all, 'Lloyd' is just an ordinary name."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Because the first time I heard of that 'Bright Star' Lloyd was not long ago. He was a very promising third-rank master, and this guy today is already an unfathomable sixth-rank master. There was only such a short time between them, so they are definitely not the same person."

"I see... But compared to some powerful newcomer, I am more optimistic about this sixth-level expert. Although I can feel that he is also very young, he is unexpectedly calm and honest, and he is also related to the mysterious Mizzkatok."

"Yes, Lloyd's position and achievements are definitely beyond the reach of that young newcomer... After all, no one knows when a newcomer will truly grow up. Moreover, the more outstanding a person is, the higher the chance of premature death..."

"That's right. So in comparison, the more low-key Lord Lloyd is more eye-catching. Although he is at the sixth level, the oppressive feeling he gives me is like that of a seventh or even eighth level. I dare not imagine how terrifying his strength is."

"Speaking of which, I have met level 6 and even level 8 in the game before, but none of them left as deep an impression as Sir Lloyd. His spiritual power and inspiration... how should I put it? It's not simply powerful, but there are some more special attributes in his power?"

"I noticed this, too. Maybe that's why his chess pieces performed so exaggeratedly, but the waiters said it was okay? But he didn't seem to want to show off his strength. Is this also related to Mitzkatok's bizarre rules?"

"That should be it. His strength comes from Mizzkatok, so it is inconvenient to show it to the public. In the end, the game ended in a hurry."

"Yes! That must be the case. It makes perfect sense logically, but it also shows that Mr. Lloyd has a noble character and does not rely on his powerful strength in the game to put on airs. This is very rare!"

"Perhaps this is the strong man cultivated by Mizkatok. Low-key, mysterious, powerful, yet noble, decent, and humble. It really makes people yearn for it. How great it would be if I could join them?"

"But then again, such a mysterious and powerful organization, which has trained so many outstanding strong people, why is it always unwilling to get involved in the real world?"

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

Lloyd certainly couldn't hear what these people were talking about, and naturally he couldn't imagine that they would turn their actions of tampering with the game's appearance, which ultimately caused the entire game to collapse, into something 'noble, decent and humble'.

Most people really can't keep up with this line of thinking...

As for the question that these people were struggling with, why the academy was unwilling to get involved in the real world, Lloyd had been very curious before and had specifically asked the two previous and current deans.

The statements given were surprisingly consistent. They all stated that the college had established such rules since its inception. It wanted to maintain the purity of an academic institution and was unwilling to get involved in the grievances and disputes of the world. It hoped to always maintain this detached state and not be contaminated by some things in the world.

What's more, the forces in this world are quite wary of the academy, as if they are afraid that they will come out to conquer the world.

There is nothing wrong with this statement, and being in a state of detachment from the world must be extremely good.

And although it is said to be detached from the world, in fact, whether it is the operation of the alumni association, the various academic researches, the witch hunting that was in full swing at that time, the heroic battle against the doomsday, and even the training of an outstanding saint, all these show that the academy still does a lot of things in the world.

It's not that he's really isolated from the world, he just doesn't spread his name very often and is unwilling to reveal what's going on in the academy.

This was fine, since Lloyd had no objection anyway. After all, the academy was still conducting some less than fair and ethical research, such as various taboo systems, various dangerous engineering creations, and various potions with terrifying effects.

But then again, if I really become a saint and want to build my own city, I wonder if the academy can provide help?

If we can get the support of the college, without saying much, just the efficiency of the Civil Engineering Department in building a large villa in three days is unimaginable to outsiders.

But Hiltina said that the establishment of the Brilliant City received almost no support from the academy, and she herself did not even participate in it. Instead, she waited until the city was almost built and then took office directly.

Hmm... maybe it can't be said that she took office? Judging from her current pitiful state, it's more like she went to jail...

So from a general rational point of view, it is a bit too much to ask the "prisoners" to build their own prisons...

From the perspective of the academy, especially Dean Hazlade, it would be somewhat reluctant to sacrifice an outstanding and well-behaved and lovable student to go to jail, right?

But if it were me, it should be okay, right?

When others become saints they go to jail, but for me, at most I am just in a training room?

So we can try to get the academy to help out when the time comes, right?

Lloyd smiled and did not delve into this issue. Instead, he was more concerned about the "walking alone" in the Eternal City.

I hope that saint who believes in "fate" and "prophecy" doesn't really do anything cruel, right?

This reminded Lloyd that there seemed to be a hidden danger that had not been eliminated.

That was the last time Jenkins was kidnapped, and then it involved an ancient powerful man who was not completely dead.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Eternal City’s rash action?

But in the last incident, Hiltina clearly told Lloyd not to meddle in other people's business and to have full faith in the ability of a saint.

Then maybe after the Eternal Saint dealt with the ancient strong man who was not completely dead, he received some kind of [revelation] from him, so he suddenly made such a strange decision?

I'm not sure. Should I discuss it with Xildina or...

Although she is busy thinking about something now, it would be better to disturb her a little for safety reasons.

So after returning home, Lloyd let the kitten go to sleep first, and then waited until his sister fell asleep before he opened the portal and secretly ran to his girlfriend's bedroom.

At this moment, Hiltina fell into a state of contemplation again. She was definitely not asleep. After waiting for two minutes, her beautiful figure appeared in front of Lloyd.

She appeared directly from the big bed, sitting in a duck position, with her beautiful eyes half closed, as if she was woken up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and said in a daze:

"Eh? You came to my room at this hour... Lloyd, are you... lonely?"

"But... we haven't gotten married yet... and my body can't help you... otherwise... let's try what the book says, that kind... that kind..."

Xildina said this shyly, but I don't know what kind of "that" she was talking about...

Lloyd reached out and pinched her cheek, interrupting her fantasy, and then got down to business:

"I'm definitely not that kind of person. I came to see you because I just heard a piece of news."

He described what had happened as concisely as possible, and finally added:

"Although you said that we shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but we are all on the same side, it still makes me feel uneasy..."

When Hiltina first heard that Lloyd came to talk to her about serious matters, she was a little disappointed and unwilling, but fortunately she quickly returned to normal. Finally, she smiled and comforted him:

"Hehe, it's okay. What attracts me most about you is your kindness and justice that cares about the world."

Then I turned to analyze:

"As you know, all of Astra's actions are in compliance with his [Prophecy]. If he suddenly behaves abnormally, there must be something that affects the outcome of the [Prophecy]..."

"This is indeed worth noting, because Astra has made many efforts before to try to get a different [prophecy], but all ended in failure. Now it seems that he should have got the answer he wanted? Or has he seen a different path?"

"But no matter what, this matter is indeed worth paying attention to. Please wait a moment, I will go ask him."

As Xiltina spoke, her figure disappeared for a while, and reappeared a few minutes later, and then she said in surprise:

"As expected, Astra was very excited, saying that he had finally found a fork in the road outside the prophecy. However, there was no conclusion as to where this fork in the road would lead to, so he was eager to verify it..."

"But speaking of which, has anything happened recently that could shake his prophecy?"
