Chapter Twenty-Six: Simulated War Games
Bewildered, Benjamin followed Grant into the castle, and in the process, the lazy system finally opened its mouth and explained the situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Seven or eight years ago, the situation on this continent was quite tense, there was another country competing with the Kingdom of Hori, and war was on the verge of breaking out. Therefore, you noble children received a lot of education in war when they were young. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the country to split itself up due to civil strife, and the war didn't start, and your war education ended. β
The system paused, and then continued:
"But you restless children, who have learned all the things to fight and are full of anticipation of fighting, but have not started fighting, feel that your war talent has been buried. So, I don't know who proposed it, there was such a regular event. A bunch of people gather in this castle for a simulated war game. Of course, none of you think it's just a game, it's really like a war, and you can't take it seriously. β
After listening to the system's words, Benjamin felt a little speechless.
"These people are really naΓ―ve. β
He wasn't interested in this kind of boring war game, wasn't it just a group fight of children, and instead of wasting time here, he would rather go back and sleep a little longer, or "meditate" for a while.
"As if you are mature, you dare to say that you didn't play a similar game in elementary school?"
β...... I've played. β
Benjamin was choked for a moment, and immediately said confidently: "But that's all in elementary school, these people can go to high school at their age, isn't it naΓ―ve?"
"That's because you have a computer. The system continued, "I have a record here, even in adulthood, you definitely spend more time on 'online war games' than these people spend on 'offline war games', and even a lot of money. β
β......β
Benjamin was speechless.
At this moment, in reality, he had followed Grant into a small, dilapidated room. There was nothing in the room, and Grant took him behind the door, hiding it and holding his breath as if he were really in an ambush.
Benjamin obediently did, but he really didn't really want to be a part of the game.
"Well, can I ......?"
"Shhh Grant immediately interrupted him and whispered to him, "You can just follow me, don't worry, you can win." β
β......β
It seems that his application for early retirement will never be delivered.
Forget it, follow them and mix them up, just dream back to your childhood. He also observed when he entered the castle, the terrain here is not too complicated, and this game should not be able to play a bladder game.
Sure enough, within two minutes, two silly hats came to the door of this room, wanting to open the door and investigate. Suddenly, Grant quickly flashed out from behind the door, holding two small balls out of nowhere, shouting, "Holy Light Bullet!" and smashed the balls at the two of them.
The two men were obviously startled, came back to their senses, glanced at Grant, touched the place where the ball had hit, and suddenly fell to the ground in a very pompous manner, and was honorably "sacrificed".
β...... What a middle two. Although he was mentally prepared, Benjamin couldn't help but vomit silently in his heart.
The use of small balls as a substitute for holy light bullets and contrived sacrifices is understandable. What is the purpose of shouting "Holy Light Bullet" before throwing the ball? After a while, the highest idea of the church will become to guard Athena, right?
Actually, this also makes sense. The system popped up again and explained, "The Holy Light Bullet is a very eye-catching magic technique. In order to simulate this effect, the war game also stipulates that when using the orb to represent the Holy Light Bullet, you must shout it out loud to reveal your position so that everyone else can hear it. β
"......" Benjamin was again speechless.
The system made another serious gesture and said, "Don't underestimate people, they are all formally trained, and they are interested in this game." β
As the system said, after "killing" two enemies, Grant immediately took Benjamin to start the transfer of positions, that action, five steps and one lying down, three steps and one turn, professional like a special forces.
However, the others are not as well-trained as Grant, and they still can't get rid of the pampered aristocratic atmosphere when they raise their hands and feet. In this way, in the process of guerrilla, Grant eliminated several pairs of enemies in a row, and the number of "corpses" wandering in the castle gradually increased.
Benjamin followed, lying all the way to win helplessly.
However, through his performance along the way, he has a more intuitive understanding of his genius brother.
"Are you sure this is the genius you are talking about? the one who was born with the sky full of lights and bells. He said this in his heart a little helplessly.
"Do you think that every genius is as invincible as the book says, looking at people with his nostrils?" the system reminded, "Don't underestimate him, if he uses a real holy light bullet, he can destroy the entire castle." And you're not going to be able to wash your hands for the entire castle with the water bomb technique. β
β......β
Ignoring the system's ridicule, Benjamin still didn't believe it: "He's really so powerful, so why did Michelle dare to kidnap him?"
The system explained: "Michelle has been dealing with the church for so long, and must have her own way of dealing with magic. Taking a step back, how could she play one-on-one with Grant? With this child's scheming and experience, ten is not enough for her to play. β
Benjamin thought about it for a while, and finally accepted this explanation:
"That's right. β
He would suddenly care about this, not that he cared much about his cheap brother, but he suddenly thought: Since Grant's magic strength is so strong, why don't he ask him for help and let him solve this curse on his body?
After all, Grant is only a teenager, and Benjamin should be able to trick him into helping by trying to fool him with a reason. Although it may be a little guilty of cheating such a secondary school boy, it is with his own life, of course, life is more important.
Besides, as soon as the curse is lifted, Benjamin will not be able to fly in the sky and the sea will be wide and the fish will leap. As for Michelle and the church, how they love to fight and how they fight, it's his business.
Wonderful!
Thinking like this, Benjamin suddenly felt that his future was bright again.
Michelle is really smart, and she may not have dreamed of it, right? She must not have imagined that Benjamin, a genius brother, would be able to take advantage of him at a critical moment.
Eh......
Wait a minute!
Michelle...... Is it really impossible to think of this?
Benjamin's mood was like riding a roller coaster, and he suddenly woke up from the excitement. It may be that Michelle has caused too much psychological shadow on him, and he always feels that Michelle is not like a person who will miss this.
Sure enough, after asking about the system, he got this answer:
"I don't know. Maybe the curse she set was too far away, and Grant couldn't lift it. But the more likely reason is that she is taking advantage of the church's rules for magic. β
Benjamin felt that hope had been extinguished again, but he still asked, "What rules?"
"Probationary priests are not allowed to use magic at will. "Although Grant is already more powerful than many official priests, he has not officially graduated from the church, and therefore, he does not have the right to use magic outside of the church's permission." And under the nose of the church...... The church people shouldn't let him help you, and you've experienced it yourself. Michelle must know this, that's why she is so fearless. β
Damn it......
Benjamin felt like he was being played with again.
But fortunately, after experiencing the battle of wits and courage with Michelle, his mentality can be regarded as exercised. He didn't expect anyone else in the first place, and asking for Grant's help was just a hot-headed idea, and it was a surprise if it worked, and it was normal if it didn't work. It wasn't the first time he had felt the malice of the god of fate towards him.
It just so happened that he didn't have to have a headache about how to fool Grant, and he still relied on himself to do it briskly.
In this way, while thinking in his heart, Benjamin followed Grant "God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha", and witnessed Grant's series of military professional actions from ambush, sneak attack to frontal combat, and few opponents he has encountered can last more than a minute.
This was a bit of a surprise to Benjamin - though he still didn't take the game very seriously.
However, he could also see that those defeated noble children were obviously not as serious as Grant. Grant really treats this game as a war, and those people play with a heavier feeling.
Benjamin couldn't help but wonder if the person who originally proposed to do this war simulation couldn't be Grant, right?
In modern times, he must be the most avid game fan, the kind that will cosplay himself.
Under the leadership of the "veteran", Benjamin, a newcomer, also passed all the way and experienced a long hour for him. Finally, as the number of "corpses" increases, the game also comes to its near end.
After checking the number of people with the system, Benjamin determined that there were only two enemies left in the castle that had not been "killed".
"It's finally coming to an end. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"You have to enjoy the game, you have to see how focused people are, you have fun in the game, and you have to exercise your skills. What a great experience it is, to be a good player that Yang Yongxin can't bear to start. "The system can say this paragraph with emotion, which is also very impressive.
"I can't say that, I want to take this opportunity to relax, but I can't help it. Benjamin said quietly, "It's like a guy who is used to playing 3D real-time games, and you ask him to play 2D turn-based emotional games, he can't play them." That's the case with me, and you can't blame me. β
The system was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you know that when this passage is spoken, there will be a lot of 2D turn-based people who love you to spray you, and you are very bad like this." β
When Benjamin heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then replied: "I know, but this is not writing a novel, and you can delete and rewrite it if you make a mistake." The words are all spoken, and it is useless for me to regret it. β
The system stopped talking, and Benjamin lost his voice. After a period of silence, Benjamin suddenly shook and hiccuped as if he had been possessed.
Then, he looked at the system and asked, "Did we just say something strange?" β
The system replied blankly, "We didn't say anything just now." β
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded with a serious expression:
"I think so too. β
Soon, their attention returned to reality. In reality, the game has reached the late stage, and Grant is still looking for the remaining two people, and Benjamin can only yawn boredly when he sees this, patiently waiting for the end of this game.
However, he suddenly seemed to think of something, a spirit, and a look of something was wrong.
"Hey, among those people who were killed just now, is there that kid from the Fur family?" he asked the system after a lot of thought.
The system replied, "No." β
Benjamin: "Are you sure?"
System: "Are you questioning my abilities? No is no, I'm 800 percent sure." β
Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He looked at the end of the corridor in front of him, the only room that had not yet been explored, and suddenly a very bad premonition rose in his heart.
