I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 317 316. Human beings are indeed creatures that fear comparison.

In fact, it was not only Lloyd and other students who were shocked by the scene in front of them, but even several lecturers present looked shocked.

It seems that such scenes are rare in archaeological activities.

Until Professor Fernand suddenly shouted:

"Quiet! Have you forgotten what you did before departure?"

Everyone then calmed down, and then heard a bald mage ask in a low voice:

"Is this the [miracle] you want to find?"

"Yes."

Professor Fernand nodded and briefly explained to the others:

"On the day when the doomsday disaster struck, the former dean activated [Miracle Magic - Time Freeze] in an attempt to control the spread of mental pollution in the academy, which is what you see in front of you...

It's a pity that the price of [Miracle] is too heavy. Even [Brilliant Gold] like the previous dean did not last long, so that the coverage of [Miracle] was far from wide enough, and it only took effect in a very local area. …

Until now, multiple research groups in our Department of History, at the risk of falling into madness, discovered this tiny [miracle] from the retrieved taboo knowledge, and that's why today's action was taken. "

When the professor said this, he suddenly raised his voice a little too high, changed to an impassioned tone, and continued:

"Everyone! [Miracles] are right in front of us! The future of mankind is right in front of us! Only by retrieving those lost miraculous magics can our civilization have real hope! So, I hope everyone can help me!"

As he spoke, he looked at the students floating in the air and added:

"I believe they are stuck in the past and hope to see us embrace a new future!"

With his words, the morale and morale of the team were barely stabilized, and at least everyone's expressions softened a lot.

"Then let's start taking action. Everything will be as planned before. We need to find the 'core' of this [miracle] and try to collect some nearby knowledge. That will be the key to our interpretation of the [miracle]...

Three people from the ancient magic department, and Toledo from the engineering department, please follow me in depth. I need your experience and knowledge to help me locate the 'core';

Lear, Randy, and the others took the students to collect knowledge and arrange rituals around here. Remember to pay attention to safety;

Lloyd from the space department, please carefully monitor the space changes in this area and be sure to inform everyone if there is any situation. "

Professor Fernand gave orders, emphasized their respective tasks, and finally reminded:

"I repeat, don't look at them, don't think about them, don't be curious, don't touch them in any way!"

After that, he was the first to step out of the elevator and bathed in the bright light of the library.

There seemed to be no obstruction between the elevator and the library, but when he took steps, there was a wave-shaped pattern in the air, which looked like he had jumped into the water.

As soon as Professor Fernand landed, his expression changed slightly, he frowned, and then reminded in a low voice:

"Spiritual pollution is very strong, so be careful."

But since they were all here, no one present wanted to back down. The three bald mages followed the professor's footsteps and walked in.

Then other lecturers, and then the students, walked out of the elevator one after another.

Uncharacteristically, Lloyd ended up at the back alone.

"Huh? Top student, don't you dare to come down?"

The second-to-last student looked back at him and asked in a funny tone.

Lloyd looked at him speechlessly and asked angrily:

"Are you stupid? Or have you never been in a car? Have you ever seen the driver get out of the car before it stops?"

"you……"

The other party was speechless by Lloyd and couldn't say a word. He could only glare at Lloyd angrily before walking out.

As soon as he landed on the ground, his feet suddenly became weak and he began to cough violently. It was obvious that he was not used to the sudden increase in mental pollution outside.

Lloyd really wanted to see how exaggerated the mental pollution outside was?

But he still dutifully adjusted the status of the elevator, keeping it connected to the space pocket watch, and anchored it nearby. After confirming that the elevator was in 'on call' status, he couldn't wait to walk out.

[Ding~Insanity value +20]

[Ding~Insanity value +20]

ah? That's it?

I thought there was another multi-time experience event, but this is the result?

Lloyd was inevitably disappointed.

However, he glanced at the upper right corner of his field of vision and found that the string of numbers was repeatedly jumping between 100 and 50.

It seems that this is not accurate, so I still believe in the data from the panel.

Lloyd said something secretly in his heart, then picked up the magic space compass, looked around, and then reminded:

"The space is relatively stable for the time being, but it may fluctuate later, so you'd better not go too far."

Professor Fernand, who was beckoning three bald mages and an engineer to go deeper, couldn't help but stop, turned back and nodded to Lloyd, and then motioned for the three mages to follow him and continued towards the library. of depth.

Lloyd has nothing to do. He just needs to keep monitoring and wait for the elevator to take everyone back.

On the other hand, the other students were enduring the discomfort caused by mental pollution, and under the guidance of the two history department lecturers, they began to arrange the rituals.

They seem to be planning to arrange several sets of rituals? Everyone was busy, but Lloyd seemed very bored.

And in this hellish place, the more boring it is, the more uncomfortable it is...

Especially those students who were floating around would always float past his sight from time to time, showing Lloyd how lifelike they were.

And those floating books and pages were even more restless, exuding some kind of alluring sweetness, which made Lloyd want to reach out and pick off a page and read the mystery inside.

He could even feel that these books and pages were more energetic than those students, and there seemed to be some kind of 'readiness to move' that was suppressed within them.

Lloyd had reason to believe that if it weren't for the effect of [Miracle Magic - Time Freeze], this knowledge would have swarmed towards the humans in front of them.

If you look at it this way, the [miracle] that Professor Fernand wants to retrieve is really important, right?

Perhaps this will become a key means for humans to resist forbidden knowledge?

Is the future and hope really just around the corner? Am I participating in an important moment in history?

Lloyd could only distract himself with all kinds of random thoughts to relieve the pain and discomfort in his heart.

Hmm... I've been in the academy for a few days, and I seem to have heard many times about 'future' and 'hope'. I feel like Mizkatok is very pessimistic about the future of mankind? Everyone looks like they want to change their fate against the odds?

Is it that bad?

I think the world outside is pretty good, right? A new round of great development is in full swing, the living space of mankind can be further expanded, and the seventh saint will soon be welcomed.

Soon, there should be an eighth one - the Twisted Saint?

When Lloyd thought of this, he couldn't help but remember his humble and low-key young persona, so he shook his head and changed his mind. There is nothing wrong with exploring the future of mankind, but why do I feel that no one has a unified direction? A bit like fighting on their own?

Professor Lawrence believed that 'space' is the future; Professor Hazlade believed that a new future must be 'distorted'; today's Professor Fernand believes that the future lies in the 'past'...

But this is normal. There must be more than one direction to the future. Everyone is exploring their own paths, which is good.

Then again, the miracle magic we are looking for today is really powerful and magical, right? How could such an exaggerated effect be achieved?

I wonder what that magic is like?

Just as Lloyd was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a student floating over one meter away from him.

He was posing like he was climbing the stairs to get books, but he hit the floor of the library headfirst, and his direction shifted strangely, and he rushed towards Lloyd.

The eyes that should have been completely frozen seemed to turn around, staring directly at Lloyd, and a strange and sinister smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth.

And the posture of holding up the book with his right hand looked like he was trying to grab Lloyd.

"Alas!"

Lloyd was so frightened that he screamed, his scalp felt numb, and he quickly moved half a step to the side, narrowly missing the student.

"Careful! Come closer to us!"

Lloyd then heard the lecturer in the history department reminding him.

He didn't dare to remain aloof now, and quickly moved closer to the large army.

I wasn't in the mood to continue thinking, so I simply lowered my head and looked at the rituals these people were setting up.

Needless to say, the skills of the two lecturers were extremely skillful. In such a short period of time, they had completed at least 30% of the progress.

As for the other students, they are somewhat unsightly...

The drawn pattern is crooked, and the various components are placed skewedly. If Lloyd were to evaluate it, they would all fail.

Logically speaking, the history department certainly does not randomly select people to join the team. These people's level of ritual studies should not be so bad.

But considering that they are fighting against mental pollution while working at the same time, doesn’t it seem strange?

Among them, the 'lawless elements' of the taboo system had the lowest scores and the slowest progress. From time to time, they had to stop and hold their heads and groan a few times, or retching twice, which seriously affected the progress.

Although Mizkatok does not recommend systematic discrimination, even if Lloyd puts aside his prejudices and evaluates objectively, these people are really bad.

It can only be said that no matter how free the academic style here in Mizkatok is, these people are still lawless elements in the outside world, and the resources, channels they have access to, the foundation and accumulation before entering school, etc. are definitely not as good as the serious ones. Anyone who comes from a religious sect has to lag behind others at the starting line.

What's more, under the influence of the taboo system, their rationality is generally not high enough, and it is normal for them to behave like this.

So Lloyd's dislike of them is not entirely because of his character of a righteous young man who hates evil as much as he hates it.

In the end, the two art students who were dissed by many people performed fairly well. Not to mention, at least the patterns they drew were acceptable, and their progress was slightly faster than other students.

Maybe they are all engaged in painting?

However, these were all tasks that others were responsible for. Lloyd did not comment, he just made some comments in his mind and asked proactively:

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Well...in principle, this is not your task..."

The lecturer named Randy originally wanted to refuse, but when he looked up and saw the other students' miserable progress and worsening mental state, he quickly changed his words:

"But the current situation is special. Can you help me finish the rest? I'll help others."

"This ritual is... [suppression]?"

"Yes, but some modifications have been made. You can just arrange it according to the most conventional [suppression], and I will make the final adjustments."

"Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

Lloyd nodded, and immediately took out the spiritual ink and the classic three-piece set from his pocket as if by magic, and then began to mix the spiritual ink with skillful techniques.

When Lecturer Randy saw this, he was a little surprised and looked like he wanted to ask, 'Why are you so skilled? '

But Lloyd was already squatting on the ground and starting to fill in the rest of his progress.

Lecturer Randy ran to help the student with the worst progress, but turned his head from time to time to take a look at Lloyd's progress.

As a result, this sight made me even more surprised.

So fast? So familiar? So stable?

The lines are smooth, the composition is precise, and the basic skills are extremely solid, even as good as myself?

Is he from the space department or the occult department?

Lecturer Randy couldn't help but give a very high evaluation in his heart, and he couldn't help but continue to think:

But even third-year students on the occult side rarely see such solid basic skills.

No wonder he was snatched away directly by Professor Lawrence, who has a higher eye than his own. It seems that I really underestimated him before...

And he seems to be from our [Veto] department. It seems that there is another talented boy in the religious sect outside?

When Lecturer Randy thought that Lloyd had the same origin as himself, he couldn't help but feel a little more favorable to this talented boy.

Later, if conditions permit, you can secretly give him some sweetness, and you can treat him as a talented junior of the sect.

Of course, in terms of rating, it can definitely be higher.

Lecturer Randy made a decision secretly in his heart, then turned back and looked at the progress in front of him.

The student who was originally in charge of this area had already put his head in his hands and started crying...

Although his mental state has not deteriorated and he will not fall down on the spot, he may not be of much use.

Alas... Human beings are indeed creatures that are afraid of comparison...
