Chapter 36: The Judgment of Charon

Although the Thousand Worlds Tree family is a "defeated dog" - that is, a large family of various magician families that have declined or are about to decline to seek change and development, but because of the loose structure and the head of the family, Danick himself, the family maintains a lot of pride or stubbornness of traditional magicians. Specifically, it is manifested in the strict secrecy of each secret art, and the vigilance against technology and new things.

Of course, the Thousand Worlds Tree is a rebellious family after all, and the pedantic and conservative atmosphere is not as serious as that of the clock tower, and the younger generation of the family has also begun to seek new development opportunities. Among them, there are two people who have done the best work.

First, Sagara leopard horse. He fused the Eastern spells of the Sagara family and the black magic of the Eskol family, and forged a path of his own, and if he continued, he might not be able to stand on his own and forge new glories. It's a pity that he was unlucky, and finally ended up in a different place.

The second is Cowles. He didn't have much success in magic, but he was the first person in the entire Thousand Worlds Tree family to access and use the Internet. As a child, Corres was exposed to the Internet and saw it as the most important channel for gathering information and intelligence in the future.

Since then, Kalles has become addicted to the Internet, in a positive sense of the word—through self-education, Kaules's cyber skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has been able to compete with hackers in intelligence gathering. In the process of surfing the Internet, he also came into contact with computer games, and when he had nothing to do, he would play two games, although the technology was not first-class, but it was not a problem to crush ordinary players.

In his opinion, no matter how great a hero is, he cannot be his opponent when it comes to computer games.

And yet—

"Fight with me, you're still tender. How's that, Cowles, are you convinced?"

Shinjiyi pushed the mouse and stood up from his seat. On the computer screen in front of him, the army of red tanks was unstoppable, directly destroying the blue main base.

"How can this be ......"

Cowles, who was sitting across from Shinji, slapped the keyboard and slumped into his seat.

At this time, it was already close to noon, and after Corres offered to compete with Shinji in a computer game, the group moved from Fiore's room to Corres's room.

Corres's room was similar to Fiore's, with fewer things because it was a boy—except for the three computers placed in an arc. Seeing this, Shinji knew that this kid's game strength was definitely not weak. However, this did not shake Shinji's confidence.

Although he didn't know what game Cowles would choose to fight, with Shen II and his combined more than thirty years of game experience, he was not afraid of any game, even if he had never played it.

A game involving operations, the attributes of the Servant's Body are enough to complete Corres. If it's a strategy game, then Corres is even more useless, Shinji was a handicap in his previous life, so he is particularly keen on strategy games, and it is a difficult strategy game, the kind of painstaking work, the thrill of finally breaking through the level step by step, is enough for him to reminisce for a long time.

So, the Cowles tragedy.

The game he chose was Red Alert, a real-time strategy game that was popular in the 90s and the game that Shinji played the most as a child in his previous life.

The rules of the game are that if you win two out of three games, you will win one game.

In the first game, Shinji had to be familiar with the operation and production system, and lost to Corres without any suspense.

In the second game, Shinji began to try to attack, but due to the unfamiliarity of the map and the unskillfulness of all aspects of operation, Shinji was still defeated.

In the third game, Shinji learned the lessons of the first two games, relying on a steady and steady strategy, and a micro-manipulation supported by terrible hand speed (no skill, just fast hands, I can press five keys when you press one key), and finally succeeded in bulldozing Kaures's main base and won the final victory.

Shinji, who had won, began to taunt, and Corres looked annoyed.

"No, let's do one more game, just another game. ”

In the last game, Corres should have been able to win, but he only made a strategic mistake, which led to the loss to Shinji, and if he played another game, he would definitely not lose.

"Okay, come on. ”

Shinji, who has regained his senses, is on the rise, don't say one game, just a few more rounds. Unfortunately, the fourth game between the two did not start after all, because Fiore:

"That's it, Corles, a loss is a loss. ”

"But, sister—"

"Don't forget what time it is. ”

This sentence is like a basin of cold water poured on the head, this is the time of the Holy Grail War, not the time to play.

"Got it, sister. Kaures hung his head and lay on the computer desk.

"Remember going with Archer to check the Assassin's report, and we'll report to Uncle Darnick together in the evening. ”

After saying that, Fiore glanced at Shinji, Shinji understood, and pushed Fiorei's wheelchair away - from the moment he was summoned, as long as Shinji was by Fiore's side, he would take on the task of pushing the wheelchair, which was a way to build master-slave trust and strengthen communication.

Fiore in the hallway still looked like a sister until she walked around a corner, and then asked in a low voice, "Did they come along?"

"Nope. Shinji shook his head.

Fiore stuck out her tongue, her tense body relaxed, "Assassin, I won't let you continue to play with Corres, you won't be angry." ”

"Why, Fiore, you're not right at all, now is not the time to play. Shinji smiled, "Besides, if you continue to play, Kaures won't be able to win against me." ”

"Really?" Fioret turned her head, her eyes shining.

"Really. But why do you have this expression?"Isn't Corres your own brother?

"Hey, because Cowles always says I'm a computer idiot. I thought he was so good, but he was just bragging, and he couldn't even compare to you, a newbie. ”

Fiore's smile was very beautiful, and it was so brilliant that Shinji thought of the rainbow after the rain. He swallowed the words that had come to his lips about Corles's true assessment—if nothing else, just that she could keep that smile a little longer.

Only at this time will she step down from the position of the head of the Flvegi family, remove the position of the heir of the Thousand Worlds Tree clan, and become an ordinary girl.

The burden on her shoulders was too heavy.

Shinji and Fiore talk about Corles, but it's not Corres and Charon who are talking about them.

After Shinji closed the door, Corres got up from the computer desk, the laziness on his face quickly faded, he looked in the direction his sister left, and asked pointedly, "Archer, what do you think?"

"I'd like to hear what you think of Corres. ”

Keron said as he put down the document in his hand, he didn't have much interest in the game battle in the morning, and after only reading it for a while, he shifted his attention to Shinji's report.

"I can't say the specifics, but I think there's something wrong with this assassin, and he definitely won't forget his real name and related things like he said. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"I can't tell, but I always felt that something was wrong - archer, what did you find?"

Corres knew that his sister was clumsy except for magic, and he was worried that she would be deceived by a bad-hearted servant, so he brought Charon into contact with Shinji today, and also planned to use Charon's discerning eyes to see through Shinji's true face.

"You're right, the Assassin didn't tell the truth, at least he was hiding it. Born in the nameless, died in the nameless?self-sealing?It's not impossible, but he behaves too calmly, and accepts it too easily, almost without any doubt, I don't think he's that open-minded. ”

"It's true that open-minded people don't compete with me. Kaures nodded, "I have to find a chance to remind my sister." ”

"No, don't be in a hurry to remind Miss Fiore. ”

"Why?"

"Concealment doesn't mean it's bad, everyone has secrets they don't want others to know. I don't know why he hid it, but a person with real bad intentions won't be as high-profile as he is, and he won't be bored enough to play games with you. And I could tell that he genuinely regarded Miss Fiore as his master, and treated Miss Fiore wholeheartedly—and that was enough. ”

"I'm relieved to have your words. ”

Caron's eyes Corres had no doubts.

"By the way, Archer, can you tell what era and region he is?"

"This ...... I can't be sure. ”

It's hard to imagine that the famously wise Caron would have such a difficult time.

"He gave me conflicted feelings. His performance when playing computer games makes me think that the era in which he was active is not far from the modern era. However, his aura made me feel a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. ”

"Do you feel familiar, is it the hero of ancient Greece?"

"It's hard to say. ”

The more Charon said this, the more interested Corres became.

"Well, it's a mystery, so let's unravel it slowly - starting with this report. ”

ps: Not only will you feel familiar, but the other side will also feel familiar, the second master has eaten a golden apple.
