Chapter 61 61. The story of embodiment

After dealing with the 'sister' in front of him with his own hands, Lloyd felt a sense of 'awakening' well up in his mind, and the last bit of confusion in his mind also dissipated.

Without anyone else's explanation, he quickly figured out the cause and effect, then closed his eyes again and tried to open the panel in his mind.

Unsurprisingly, the panel did not appear, which meant that although his mind had recovered, his body was still in a state similar to coma or confusion. At this time, the panel could not be opened.

Lloyd felt like he was in that kind of 'ghost on the bed' state right now. His mind had woken up, but his body was still sleeping.

He shook his head, with a helpless feeling on his body, and said in the calmest tone possible, neither humble nor arrogant:

"Is this the power of [Embodiment]? Thank you for letting me learn more, but...that's about it, right?"

"Mr. Randolph..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his closed eyes felt blurry. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still sitting in the high-end black steam car, and in the driver's seat next to him was the 'initiator' of everything before. Steward Randolph.

The seats in the back row were empty, and there was no sister or Desita at all.

Lloyd calmed down and called the panel in his mind.

This time it was finally normal. The panel opened normally, displaying his attributes and status, allowing Lloyd to confirm that he was really awake this time.

He turned to look at Randolph next to him. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, there was only a helpless wry smile on his face.

He really doesn't mind others making fun of his sister.

Although what he had experienced previously did not cause him any harm, and he did not gain any [Insanity Points] at all, he still felt very unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was old, Miss Desda's housekeeper, and a seventh-level powerhouse, Lloyd would have given him some strength.

The butler Randolph still had a calm expression on his face, closed the pocket watch in his hand, and suggested:
"How about a drink?"

Lloyd looked out the window. The steam train was parked in front of a very atmospheric tavern, not far from his residence.

He hesitated for a second, then nodded and accepted the other party's invitation, but snorted in his heart:
snort!For Miss Desita's sake, I won't be as knowledgeable as you. After all, I am also a moral young man who respects the elderly and loves the young.

The two then went to the private room on the second floor of the tavern and ordered two glasses of light fruit wine. The butler said sincerely:

"First of all, please allow me to apologize to you and hope you can forgive me for my previous offense."

"Okay, I don't mind anymore, but I want to know why?"

Lloyd replied.

A seventh-level powerhouse has such a low profile, what else can he say?
"I want to hire you as my assistant to help me complete a ritual in about 60 days... and what you have experienced before is to confirm whether you can protect yourself during the process."

The butler stated the purpose directly, opened the pocket watch in his hand, and commented:
"Your previous outstanding performance far exceeded my expectations and gave me a big surprise."

Lloyd quickly replied modestly:
"Uh... You're flattered. I've always been good at surprising people."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking for a few seconds before he changed his words:

"I will provide you with a generous reward - after the work is completed, I will reward you with a core material of the fifth [Transcendence] of the [Veto] system, or something equivalent to it."

As he spoke, he placed a notebook on the table between the two of them and briefly introduced:
"This is the initial deposit, and it contains some superficial summaries of my experience."

The boss’s notes?This is good stuff!

Lloyd's heart skipped a beat.

Through the notebook of the previous presiding judge, he knew very well that the experiences and insights of these high-ranking men were precious things, which could help newcomers avoid many detours and avoid many dangers and troubles.

Using this as a deposit can be said to be full of sincerity, and as for the bulk of the follow-up, it is even more heavyweight.Each transcendental person's "transcendence" requires the help of specific rituals. The materials required to arrange the rituals are becoming more and more expensive and troublesome. We often encounter situations where even money can't buy them.

What's more, the fifth level is an important dividing line between high and low levels, and the core materials required must be priceless.

The butler's remuneration was indeed generous, but the more it was like this, the more hesitant it made Lloyd.

The help that the seventh-level boss wants me to help may not be that simple, but the reward is really too tempting...

Even if you can't use it for the time being, it would be great to exchange it for other items of equal value.

After thinking for a while, Lloyd asked:
"Of course I am willing to help you, but...this ceremony you mentioned..."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to fight people or monsters, you are just assisting me as an assistant... More specifically, you will know when the time comes."

After the butler said this, he began to quietly taste the low-alcohol fruit wine in his hand, without further explanation, and patiently waited for Lloyd to think about it.

But Lloyd only hesitated for 2 minutes before reaching out and picking up the notes on the table.

Anyway, he is not asked to take action tomorrow. Isn’t there still two months left?If you work hard yourself and let the panel work hard together, you may not be able to take over this job.

It happens to be able to turn pressure into power. If you don't push yourself, you won't know where the limits of the panel are.

"very good!"

The butler nodded with satisfaction and praised again:

"As the lady said, you never disappoint."

Lloyd first put the notes close to his body and then asked:

"What I experienced just now... was some kind of illusion? A dream?"

"No, that is a [story] that I [revealed], but it is not a specific [story], but a story that everyone who enters it will subconsciously believe..."

"For example, a diligent young man will believe in an inspirational story; and a desperado who licks blood from his knife will believe in a story about being on the run."

The butler gave a simple explanation.

Lloyd nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it, so it was like I was dreaming at the time. I encountered so many abnormal and illogical things, but I didn't realize it at all... It's because I really like the adventure stories of those two reporters and I want to believe them. .”

"You can understand it this way. It is indeed an excellent story. I have also read it and it left a deep impression on me."

The butler said and commented on Lloyd's performance:

"What I really value about you is that you can realize that you are in the [story] in a very short period of time, and try to crack it. Even the two ladies I embodied were seen through by you. Now, he doesn’t behave like a first-time observer who has just completed [Enlightenment]..."

"You know, even many high-ranking extraordinary people will be trapped in the [story] that I personally created."

"No wonder His Excellency Tiltus values ​​you so much. You do have amazing talents in the mysterious and extraordinary aspects."

Lloyd scratched his head shyly and replied truly humbly:

"Thank you, but you really gave me the award this time, and my situation was not easy at that time."

　Thanks to Benares No. 114 for the 100 points.
