I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 98 97. Places recommended by the Chief Judge

After Lloyd returned to the familiar library, he thought about it and ran to borrow a thick book "Advanced Materials Science" to learn more about this aspect.

He actually cared about what the Chief Judge said before and wanted to learn more about it.

He found the book quickly, and ran to borrow the bell from Metis who was sleeping soundly on the table.

Such a thick book, without the help of [Concentration], it would probably take several days to read it.

As a result, as soon as Lloyd approached, Metis sat up suddenly and threw the bell on the table.

Lloyd was about to reach out to take it, but she took the bell back first, as if she was deliberately teasing Lloyd.

"Hehe, I suddenly don't want to lend it to you."

"Uh..."

"What's wrong? A bad woman like me is so fickle."

Metis said sarcastically while playing with the bell in her hand, as if she wanted to make Lloyd angry.

But Lloyd had long been accustomed to her madness and would not get angry. He just said helplessly:

"I borrowed from you so many times, I really should give you some compensation."

"Compensation? Who wants that kind of thing? Didn't I say it a long time ago? If you help me finish my job, I will lend it to you. Although I am the worst woman in the world, I will still keep this promise."

What did you say about being fickle just now?

Lloyd was also in a state of confusion, and heard Metis continue to defend herself:

"It's just that our place seems to have become 'lively' during this period, so I decided not to ask for your help. After all... I don't want you, a fool, to go crazy too fast."

After going around in circles for a long time, it turned out to be for this kind of thing...

Lloyd probably understood her idea, that is, she also found that there were more monsters sent during this period, and she was embarrassed to slack off, so she wanted to go down and 'steal monsters' from him.

How could I let her succeed? No one can take away my madness value!

Lloyd quickly tried to dissuade her:

"It's just this amount of work, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

But Metis retorted:

"Hmph~ Stop being sentimental, do you think a bad woman like me will worry about you? I just don't want no one to help me with my work in the future."

Alas... this guy is so awkward...

Lloyd was helpless, so he had to change his way of dissuading her:

"I will come early every day and take away all the keys to the -3 floor. If you want to go down to execute, you have to come earlier than me."

These words seemed to hit Metis's soft spot at once, and she was silent instantly.

Lloyd actually discovered a long time ago that Metis came very late every day, and she would only show up after he had executed the monster, dissected its organs, cleaned the venue, and changed her clothes, and sometimes even later.

It was obviously very difficult to let her come earlier than me...

In the end, Metis could only slap the bell on the table and said angrily:

"Hmph~ Forget it, you are so stubborn, I don't care."

"Thank you."

Lloyd laughed and picked up the bell.

"Idiot..."

Metis cursed in a low voice and lay on the table to sleep again.

……………………

In the afternoon of this day, Lloyd came to the training ground an hour early, picked up a practice sword, and prepared to try out the skills he had just merged.

He did not inject spiritual power first, and tried normal chopping and stabbing. The [Swordsmanship] he had mastered was indeed still there, but there was indeed no change.

Then he opened the new [Super Swordsmanship], and immediately felt the spiritual power in his body began to flow, and then injected into the practice sword along the palm.

The wooden practice sword suddenly made a buzzing sound, and a cold light flashed on the blade, becoming like a spiritual blade.

Lloyd aimed at the target in front of him again and casually swung his sword.

Bang~

After a muffled sound, the target broke, and it was easily cut into two pieces.

But the practice sword could not withstand the damage, and it broke into several pieces, perishing together with the target.

"Hmm... can it make ordinary weapons as sharp as psychic blades? It's a bit useful, but that's all?"

Lloyd pursed his lips and shook his head in disappointment.

He carried the dagger-style psychic blade with him, and he had no shortage of tools to use. If this new skill was just like this, it would obviously be disappointing.

The key is that it can't increase the strength and durability of the weapon itself...

But this skill is currently only LV1, maybe there is a saying of "promising in the future"?

Emmmmm, let's take a look at the skill description again?

Lloyd called out the panel again and read the overly brief description again.

Using cold weapons in a way that violates the laws of reality...

Using a blunt wooden sword to cut off a solid target is obviously against the laws of reality.

Using a sword to chop out sword energy, or letting the sword cut people by itself, is obviously also against the laws of reality, but Lloyd has tried it before and couldn't do such an outrageous thing.

Maybe the skill level is a bit low?

However, this skill does not limit the specific type, only cold weapons...

Lloyd suddenly had more ideas in his mind, and he directly took the bare hilt and threw it at the remaining half of the target.

The hilt of the sword actually pierced straight into the target, and then shattered into a pile of wood chips, and once again perished together.

Interesting...

It turns out that the focus is not on "violating the laws of reality", but on "cold weapons"?

Lloyd bent down again and picked up a small stone on the ground, aimed at another target, and threw it out without much force.

Bang~

The target shook, and a flat cut appeared on it, like a trace of being pierced by a sword.

So that's it!

Lloyd has grasped the key to this skill, and continued to try various things that can be picked up in the training ground, even weeds and leaves.

The final conclusion is that as long as it can be used as a cold weapon, whether it is a knife, a gun, a stick, or a stone, a brick, or a block of wood, it can be made as sharp as a psychic blade, and then leave the damage that can only be caused by a sword blade on the target.

Although I haven't tried it specifically, it should be possible to play like this with things like table knives, forks, and even needles and toothpicks.

But grass and leaves are not allowed, which can only be used as weapons in martial arts novels.

In this way, regardless of the actual combat value of this skill, it is at least quite fun.

"Then the last weapon test..."

Lloyd looked down at his empty palm and clenched it into a fist.

This is the strongest cold weapon!

Magnetic field rotation blasting fist!

He shouted in his heart, punched out, and hit the target heavily.

Bang~

The target was immediately shattered into pieces, and the halo at the cut was flat, as if it was chopped out by a sharp sword blade.

Lloyd looked at the power of his punch and nodded silently.

Then he took another deep breath, his face was ashen, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

Finally, he couldn't hold it back anymore and imitated the cat's cry:

"Ah oh oh oh roar roar roar!!!"

Then he jumped and shook his hands vigorously.

Tears came out of the pain...

From then on, in his dictionary, fists were no longer cold weapons!

……………………

“Well…it’s nothing serious, no bones hurt, just a little red and swollen, and it will recover after a night’s rest.”

Pastor Mad, the pastor of the church closest to Lloyd’s home, helped Lloyd check his right hand and came to an optimistic conclusion.

“Thank you, Pastor Mad.”

Lloyd said sincerely.

It didn’t hurt his hand for a while, but he was afraid of some hidden injuries, and he didn’t dare to go to the pastor of District 18 for face, so he could only ask Pastor Mad for help.

“You’re welcome, but I’m a psychologist, not a pastor… Oh~ Forget it, at least you didn’t call me a priest…”

Pastor Mad said helplessly.

“How can that be? Priest is an insult.”

Lloyd smiled and looked at the time again.

It’s still early, why not go to the place recommended by the presiding judge?

He took out the business card given by the presiding judge, confirmed the address, and jumped on a tram.

The address given on the business card was not too far away, so there was no need to take the "subway" and the tram was also very fast.

Of course, Lloyd still bought a ticket because he had a kitten in his pocket.

About twenty minutes later, Lloyd got off the bus and came to the civilian area.

Then he asked along the way and finally came to the door of an antique shop.

An antique shop in a civilian area?

It was just short of putting the word "suspicious" on the sign...

But there was no sign at all, nor a specific name, just a sign that said "Buying antiques and cultural relics, preferential prices", and next to it was a stick figure carrying a package, the same as the pattern printed on the business card.

Lloyd pushed the door and walked in.

There were many shelves inside, but they were all empty, and it seemed that the business was not doing well.

A clerk was lying on the counter, looking drowsy, with messy hair and simple clothes, looking very down-to-earth.

Even if he heard someone coming in, he didn't bother to pay attention and didn't even raise his head.

It was not until Lloyd came in front of him and showed the gold-plated business card that the guy barely opened half of his eyes and said weakly:

"The first room on the left on the second floor."

After that, he continued to lie down.

Lloyd nodded and walked to the stairs.

"Meow!"

The kitten that was scratching the edge of his pocket suddenly cried softly.

Lloyd stopped immediately and let out a little inspiration.

The result was no stinging or dangerous feeling...

He turned his head again, glanced at the guy, and then launched [Detection].

Wow, all four items are '? ? '

And his mental state looked so depressed, but the result showed 'normal'. Is he a rare normal person?

The place recommended by the presiding judge is indeed extraordinary...
