I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

In fact, there are still many parts that the Clown Judge cannot understand, or cannot comprehend, not just what is in front of him.

In the drawer of his desk was Lloyd's family information, including not only Lloyd and Evelor's files, but also the files of his deceased parents. They were all turned out and carefully reviewed over and over again.

But no matter how many times he checked it, the Clown Judge still couldn't understand why the Saint would issue such an order for a young man of the third level?

Even if he was willing to admit that this young man was excellent and indeed extremely talented, and that he had heard the name 'Lloyd' several times before today, was it too arbitrary for him to order the entire Holy Grace Court to obey his orders based on these facts?

Is this simply to promote this young man? Or has the Saint already lost trust in us? Or is the worst conclusion, is she planning to let the Holy Inquisition integrate the forces within the Order?

The Clown Judge's mind was full of wild thoughts, and he came up with all kinds of possibilities.

But no matter which one it was, it was difficult for him to understand.

However, no matter how confusing it was, the will of the saint could not be violated. So even though Lloyd was unhappy as soon as they met and knocked people to the ground, the clown judge had to hold his nose and said:

"I can cooperate with you in investigating those special cases, but other than that, I hope you won't interfere with our other affairs."

There were some indirect probing hints in these words, and he still wanted to try to guess the saint's deeper meaning.

Who would have thought that Lloyd on the opposite side would actually laugh happily?

Then he said modestly:

"Oh? That's great! I was afraid that you would notice my excellence and push all kinds of messy things onto me."

"........."

The Clown Judge hesitated for a moment, and was stunned for a full minute before he resisted the urge to complain and said:

"So... what kind of special case is this? It actually alarmed Her Majesty the Saint and made her issue such an order? Okay... no offense, but your rank... is it really the third rank?"

When Lloyd heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It seems that although the other party has collected my information, the timeliness is a bit delayed?

But there is nothing to blame. After all, the time he spent in the real world to advance from the third level to the sixth level was not long, so it is normal that he did not have enough time to update the information.

So he simply ignored the other party's questions about his rank, and just talked to him seriously about the ancient survivors, the strange trends among politicians, and the weirdness of Congressman Dawson.

As for Hildina's order, even through the mask, he could sense that she was embarrassed by it. But Lloyd himself didn't know what order Hildina had issued. Anyway, it must be similar to what they discussed yesterday, right? So he didn't mention it.

After he spoke for a long time in this eloquent manner, without waiting for the other party to digest what he had said, he took out the knowledge crystal that he had prepared last night from his [Thinking Field] and threw it towards the other party.

The crystal clear crystal drew a perfect parabola and fell in front of the clown judge, then hovered in the air, glowing slightly and rotating slowly.

"You can take a look at this... But just in case, I need to confirm first. Your rank is level six, right? Of course, I don't mean to offend you."

Lloyd asked again.

In fact, when the two had just met, he habitually [explored] the other party's attributes, but the result surprised him a little. The average of the four attributes was more than 200 points, and the highest [rationality] was just over 300, which was really a bit too low.

After using [Exploration] frequently, Lloyd has roughly summarized the approximate attribute distribution of each rank. Generally, for the sixth rank, it should be in the range of 200-500. The stronger ones can reach the entry standard of the seventh rank, which is around 800 points.

Because the talents, resources, and circumstances of each extraordinary person vary greatly, even if they are at the same level, their attributes, abilities, and combat effectiveness will show significant differences, resulting in huge differences even at the same level.

For example, Lloyd himself and the Clown Judge on the other side are both at level six, but their attributes differ by 20 times...

There is no need to say more about the three major levels and extraordinary abilities...

So the value of rank is certainly important, but it certainly cannot fully represent the strength and level of a transcendent. In comparison, attributes, abilities, and levels are more intuitive.

In response to Lloyd's somewhat strange question, the clown judge on the other side did not shy away from answering, and said frankly:

"I am indeed level six, level six [Veto], what's wrong?"

"Nothing, but if your rank is low, I don't recommend you to check this crystal alone... Of course, for the sake of caution, it would be a safer choice to find more people to check it together."

Lloyd explained briefly, then took out an empty lead box from his pocket, handed it over, and added:

"Activate the ritual inside, and multiple people can examine this crystal together. But be careful, this crystal may not be safe..."

This lead box was prepared by him in the academy earlier. Inside it was engraved a set of rituals from the Department of Knowledge, a relatively simple and basic one. Its function was as he mentioned before, allowing several people to share a knowledge crystal together.

This operation may sound fancy, but it is considered a "basic operation" in the City of Silence. Those people in the [Intellectual] Department like to use this method to share, teach, or plot.

Lloyd only learned about this kind of "local customs and practices" after his last visit. He thought it might be useful in the future, so he found some information in the college and learned more about the process.

Because this was a very basic and common thing, he mastered it without much effort with the help of [Ritual Control]. The lead box was also made at that time.

But after Lloyd mastered the rituals and procedures, he had no use for the time being, so he didn't take it seriously and treated it as a minor episode not worth mentioning. It was not until today when he was about to go out that he suddenly remembered it and took out the lead box.

As for the suggestion to the other party to find more people to jointly examine the fragment, on the one hand, it is because this case is quite complicated, and if more people look at it together, perhaps some details that even they have missed can be discovered.

On the other hand... after all, this fragment was condensed in his own [mind field] and passed through the "hands" of the tentacle grass, so strictly speaking, it is not very safe...

I had specifically reminded her of this when we were discussing the "Everrol Development Plan" with Hiltina earlier.

Lloyd had tried this knowledge crystal before and knew its convenience, so he thought about giving a few pieces to his sister so that she could skip the process of [audience with the Saint] and directly [transcend] to the third level. This way, she could join Mizkatok earlier to accompany him.

But Hiltina warned him righteously not to do that!

"Neither you nor I belong to the [Intelligence] system. We cannot condense a sufficiently safe knowledge crystal like they do. After all, this is the unique ability of their system..."

"In fact, the knowledge crystal you shared with me last time is not very safe. It just doesn't have much impact on me, but it's hard to say for others, so don't share this thing with your sister just for the sake of convenience."

With this warning, Lloyd had no choice but to give up his plan of "forcing growth" and let his sister grow up step by step.

It was also because of this warning that he had to remind the presiding judge opposite him to be careful when checking the crystal.

However, Hiltina did not explain in detail how unsafe it was at the time, so Lloyd could not give a more detailed reminder and could only speak vaguely as before.

The clown judge on the other side was so confused that he immediately asked back:

"This is a knowledge crystal from the [Intelligence] department, right? Aren't they very safe? I touched one once when I was young, and it was like a convenient book, wasn't it?"

Lloyd scratched his head slightly embarrassedly and explained:

"Well... theoretically, that's right, but I'm not from the [Intellectual] system, and the origin of this crystal is also quite special. So I have to be careful."

"Hmm~Okay, I'll pay attention to it. I've also written down the case you mentioned earlier."

The clown judge said this while showing the notes he had written down. On it was a string of scribbles that were so sloppy that they were completely unrecognizable. They were almost the same as the butler's handwriting.

After all this time, the butler's handwriting is so creepy. Is it because he was also a "hunter" when he was young?

"It's just like you said, this case involves too many things and the situation is very complicated, so please give us some time to digest it."

The Clown Judge continued.

"No problem, but it must be done quickly. I believe you also realize the seriousness of this case, right?"

"Yes, I can understand to some extent why His Majesty the Saint issued an edict for this purpose."

The Clown Judge nodded, and his tone became particularly serious and solemn.

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

Lloyd did not stay in the 'Final Judgment' for too long. As the other party said, he had to give others some time to digest it.

Coincidentally, he had also made an appointment with Miss Desta to go to the hospital next, so he went to visit Miss Desta first.

Compared to his high-profile appearance when he came, he was much more low-key when he left. He specifically found a deserted place before leaving through the portal.

This is also to prevent those "hunters" from pulling out guns and shooting themselves in surprise.

And long after Lloyd left, the Clown Judge was still sitting there, looking at the messages he had written down. Even through the mask, one could feel the headache and difficulty on his face.

There are really too many people involved, from the Speaker and the Archbishop to the ordinary grassroots managers. If they are all to be dealt with, the Brilliant City will probably be paralyzed on the spot.

Moreover, although the Sheng'en Court has an independent status and can deal with these politicians in the name of various "involvement in organized crime" and "involvement in cults", in principle their authority is still to deal with criminals and they do not have sufficient prosecutorial power.

But the saint's decree has already been issued, and there is no possibility of disobeying it...

After having a headache for a while, the Clown Chief Judge put this difficult problem aside for the time being, rubbed his temples with his hands, and planned to wait until the Grand Judge, the one wearing the colorful clown mask, came back so that they could discuss it together.

So he turned his attention to the crystal of knowledge floating on the desk, and was somewhat curious about what the so-called "concrete evidence" contained therein was.

Just a touch of inspiration and you can check it out.

But fortunately, he still remembered Lloyd's previous warning and did not act rashly.

Let's wait for the Chief Judge to come back. She went to the suburbs yesterday to deal with a difficult cult gang and should be back today.

Just at this moment, one of his confidants knocked on the door and came over to report the situation to him.

"All the brothers who were asleep have woken up and are undergoing mental assessments, but they should be fine. Some of them are even sleeping soundly. They said they saw their first love in their dreams and were very unhappy to be woken up..."

When the Clown Judge heard this, he immediately became furious and asked in a bad mood:

"There were more than 30 people present at the time, right? They even used guns, but they were all knocked down by a level 3 warrior? And they even felt very comfortable being knocked down?"

"Uh... this... the brothers who were present at the time explained that it was because the incident happened suddenly and they were not fully prepared; or they did not rest well recently, so they were not in good condition..."

"Excuses! They're all excuses! Is it so hard to admit that you're not as skilled as others?"

"This isn't difficult. We all think that we are the weakest among the three courts, but we also have the worst reputation in the outside world..."

"Alright, alright! Stop talking! Take me to see those useless guys. I want to know what's going on."

The Clown Judge said unhappily, standing up from the table.

Then he came to the infirmary. Before he entered the door, he heard a lot of chatter coming from inside:

"I told you guys a long time ago, when you pointed your guns at him, I know this guy, he's not an enemy, don't shoot, but no one listened to me! Now you're embarrassed, right? "

"The situation was so sudden, who knows where he came from? It's not the only time he disguised himself as a reckless man to sneak in and cause trouble."

"Yes, after all, we are a big tree that attracts the wind. There are enough evil forces that want to target and retaliate against us. Disguised criminals have sneaked in here several times. The most dangerous one almost endangered the Chief Judge. So it's no wonder that we are sensitive."

"And speaking of which, wasn't that guy unharmed? Well... we seem to be unharmed too? And I have to admit that that guy is really quite powerful. This is the first time I've seen such a scene. Tell me, how come the bullet turned into a rose when it flew in the air? What kind of power is this?"

"I don't know. None of the systems I've learned about can do this... Honestly, I was a little stunned at the time. All the bullets we fired were slowed down, stopped in mid-air, and then shattered and bloomed into bright roses. I actually thought this was elegant and romantic? It felt like a dream?"

"I guess that guy should be from the [Intelligence] department, and has some ability to interfere with thoughts and perceptions. We were already dreaming when we fired the gun. The bullet turned into a rose? This kind of thing can only happen in a dream, right?"

"Yeah, I think so too. After all, weren't all the roses gone when we woke up?"

"That's not right? I've had several encounters with him. He really is the Executioner from District 18. He must also be from the [Veto] department. How could he have gone to the [Intellect] department?"

"【Veto】 and 【Intelligence】 are complementary to each other, and they are a popular combination that has been proven in actual combat. So isn't it normal for him to be involved in both systems at the same time? And didn't you also say before that he is a super star with extraordinary talent and is the one that the group of reckless people are trying to support?"

"This... I only came into contact with him a few times while on missions, and I'm not very familiar with him."

"Your mission? I remember it was the outrageous one, right? Asking you to track down clues about the [Distortion] department? It ruined your annual vacation?"

"Not only did my annual leave, but my wife's vacation was almost ruined. Fortunately, the higher-ups no longer ask about this matter, so I can stay in the headquarters and enjoy my retirement."

The clown judge outside couldn't help but hear this and went into the infirmary.

The hunters who had been staying here were sitting around a few beds, chatting comfortably. They had taken off the masks on their faces and casually hung them on their heads or necks. Some of them were even huddled in a corner, smoking secretly.

She looked very relaxed, without any sense of shame for just being taken care of by someone.

It was not until they saw their superior coming that everyone quickly stood up, put their masks back on, and stood at attention in unison.

"Okay, okay, don't pretend with me. I heard everything outside just now."

The presiding judge waved his hand with a helpless look and asked everyone to sit down again.

But he never dared to take off the mask on his face again.

Then, the chief judge looked at the hunter wearing the cartoon fox mask and asked:

"You seem to know that Lloyd?"

"Yes! I had some brief contact with him and drank several cups of coffee with him."

Captain Fox responded quickly.

"Well, that's good. Your team can temporarily put aside the task of tracking down [Distortion]. Here is a new task for you. It is also related to that kid. This is exactly why he came here today."

The presiding judge continued speaking and asked another question:

"By the way, what about the bullet turning into a rose you just mentioned? Who can tell me in detail?"
