The next three days passed peacefully for Lloyd. He continued his usual routine, making steady progress.
During that time, he attempted to interpret the fragment of unknown composition again. The progress increased by 0.5%, earning him 2000 Madness Value.
'It's like a daily check-in bonus...'
Combined with the rewards from executing a Demon, he leveled up again. He put all 5 points into [Rationality], which had now surpassed the 70-point mark.
'It feels so steady and reliable.'
After that, he borrowed the bell from Meditis again and conducted his second [Audience with the Saint].
The result was a complete bust. He wasted several hours, only earned a dozen or so points of Madness Value, and didn't get a single skill fragment. He would have been better off riding the 'subway'.
But Lloyd wasn't surprised. The Chief Judge had already given him a heads-up in his notes.
