Chapter 146: A Message from Cummins
No, no, no matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than a nuclear bomb! Besides, I'm actually still a half-ass......
Having said that, in the face of the girl's pleading gaze, Richard failed to say a negative word.
He then thought about it, wasn't the other party just because he was uneasy about the powerful force that fell from the sky, and he didn't know how to adjust his mentality? That's no problem, Richard has indeed accumulated quite a lot of experience in this regard.
Moreover, it is not only the academic performance, but also the responsibility of the teacher to take care of the mental health of the students.
So, Richard nodded slightly.
The witch suddenly smiled pleasantly, and she didn't know where she had left her with her deep worries.
"It's a good day."
As the morning ticks by, Edward has officially inherited the power of the Sparkling Furnace, and his only student is gradually progressing from being a witch to a humanoid nuke.
Shortly after that, Richard received a communication from the elven knight Cummins Morningstar.
……
At noon that day, he was sitting on the throne bored, intending to have some fun to pass the time.
Richard began to understand why wizards were so paranoid in certain places, such as their fanatical pursuit of knowledge and power.
After all, in the Mayan world of the Middle Ages, entertainment projects are quite scarce, except for the ethereal so-called "pursuit of truth" spiritual realm, there are only **, appetite, the desire to control the power of others and other primitive jade hopes.
So, once they have mastered great power, they will behave in an extreme way: instead of becoming hermits who are completely immersed in the path of magic and isolated from the outside world; It is to become a careerist who spends his days plotting to realize a terrible conspiracy.
But Richard's soul was still "modern," and he quickly focused his attention on certain activities that outsiders thought were a waste of time, without being able to rely on ordinary methods to upgrade his practice.
In the process, Richard discovered that his "guardian spirit" Spell Lord could do more than just that: it was not just a fighting machine with legendary abilities, but a good assistant who could realize some of his clever ideas.
Although he did not find any entertainment products belonging to a human civilization in the Guardian's data repository: such as music, movies, or video games. Presumably lost in the long history, or not loaded from the beginning.
This made Richard a little regretful, but he still wanted to feel how wonderful the future of entertainment is.
However, the entertainment paraphernalia that he knew the rules could be perfectly replicated after giving instructions: mainly board games, including chess, Go, chess, backgammon, and poker.
The history of this world has not appeared in the form of objects; There are similar games, but the rules are not the same.
This reminds Richard of what he has seen before, in which the protagonist, who is a time-traveler, makes a lot of money in a different world with backward spiritual civilization by copying the entertainment products of the earth, and spreads the culture of the earth.
In fact, now he can do the same: with the magic tower on his back and the name of a legendary wizard on his head, what else can't he do?
But he quickly threw the funny idea out of the clouds.
Richard had no worries about survival, and he didn't care about money.
And if all these games are to be replicated in the Mayan world, if there are records of a certain place, a certain person, a certain group of people in the world, he will undoubtedly be targeted.
Richard believed that this was not unfounded, even though he had been in the isolated Black Tower since he came to this era.
The Mayan world has left its mark everywhere from the sake era, from the name of a tree, a game, a book...... He also remembers that the world's largest and most dangerous criminal association, the "Reverse Cross", used the symbol of the tarot card. Richard had searched afterwards, and there was no record of this kind of culture in any other country on the main continent.
This shows that some parts of human culture 10,000 years ago are still secretly continuing; How much it can last, how it can be continued, and what exactly that continuation means, is another matter.
So, Richard can only choose to entertain himself now
In fact, he is playing chess with his real name.
By the way, this was proposed by the other party after seeing his boring appearance.
As long as the brain is quite normal, it can understand that playing chess against an opponent whose computing power far exceeds that of the human brain is by no means an easy and pleasant thing.
In the era in which Richard lived, even the world's top chess players could no longer beat artificial intelligence, not to mention that his stinky chess basket was against a real super AI.
However, Miss Real Name said to Richard in a serious manner, "I will suppress my thinking ability to a level similar to you, sir", in order to make someone with a very average level also enjoy the fun of board games.
To be honest, this kind of talk is very scathing. He's only seen it in manga before.,Some characters will be forced by issuing a declaration to the protagonist "I'm going to suppress my strength to the point of being equal to you".,I've never heard of thinking ability can be suppressed...... Isn't that just pure acting?
But since it's her, it's not surprising that she can do it.
And after that, as Miss Real Name said, Richard soon found the feeling of meeting an opponent in chess, completely immersed in the thrill of fierce battle with her on the chessboard.
It wasn't until the magic communication that had not moved for a long time that the voice of the elven knight was heard.
"Allow me, Lord Rasputchin, to report to you: I have conveyed to the king the conditions you have requested."
Richard's hand holding the chess piece stayed in mid-air before slowly putting it down.
"The result?"
He took the mask from the hand of the real lady, and the cold voice belonging to "Raspuchin" crossed thousands of miles and reached Cummins's ears.
......
At this time, the elven knight was standing in front of a dusty loess castle.
It was a garrison three kilometers away from the royal capital, with a post station inside; It is also the closest transport hub from the city of Saint-Michel to Silent Hills.
Cummins wore a hood, his sword hidden beneath a broad robe, leaning against a small mound of earth. Covered in dust, he looks like an ordinary traveler.
He exhaled softly and said silently:
"His Majesty has agreed, and Queen Mary is on the road now. But this operation is extraordinary, Lord Rasputin, because the team sent this time includes not only the royal palace guards, but also ......"
"People from the Holy See."
