Chapter 209: The Smartest Man at the Table
"Your face doesn't seem to be very good???? ?? ? ? en'org "When the man came back, Claire was making tea in the white space, her expression was very leisurely, although she was a prisoner, she was treated very well, not only did the other party not torture her, but also emptied a supply point for her, prepared daily necessities, and even included some things that should not appear in the desert at all, such as the pear blossom wood tea table in front of Claire, and the full set of tea sets on the table.
In order to ensure that the old man will not be bored these days, the man even brought a chessboard, as long as Claire wants to play chess, he will accompany him to play, and sometimes in order to take care of the mood of the elderly, he will deliberately lose a few games.
However, he didn't seem to be in the mood to play chess tonight, and he didn't say a word when he returned to White Space.
"Looks like the situation outside isn't going well?" the old man raised his eyebrows, took out another cup, and poured a cup of tea slowly.
The man nodded in thanks, took a sip of tea, and suddenly laughed, "Is it necessary for seniors to be so childish, what's the point of doing this except to disgust me?"
"You should be glad you don't have enough material here, otherwise you wouldn't have drunk poison instead of dust. Claire said lightly.
The man shook his head, not angry, silently poured out the remaining tea in the cup, and boiled the pot again, "How could I make such a low-level mistake against you, senior. ”
"yes, you've been making mistakes since you caught me here."
"We've talked about this many times. The man sighed, "Whether it's the Inquisition, the Magician Guild, or these nobles in the south, they have tried almost all methods in the past few hundred years, but without exception, they have been tricked by that person every time, so I can only try my own way, you are the closest person to him in the world today, I think even the most ruthless person can not watch his closest people die." ”
"You've talked a lot, and it looks like you're in some trouble today. The old man's reaction was as flat as ever.
Xavier didn't hide it either, and said frankly, "Things are a bit out of my control, that monster is growing at an amazing rate, and what's worse is that someone told it all the information from our side, which greatly shortened the time for it to learn and adapt to this new world, which is something I didn't expect, I didn't pay attention to it earlier, but it has been quietly infiltrated into the inner city, fortunately it was discovered by a student, otherwise those people by the city gate may be more auspicious tonight." ”
"Don't you care if they live or die?" said Claire sarcastically.
"I don't care about their lives or deaths, but I don't want them to die so quickly, it is in my best interest for the people here to die one by one, they are the same chips in my hands as you, although they are not as valuable as you, but I don't want to squander them so much, the man patiently explained, paused and said, " And it's not good news for you, it means you have a lot less time left than expected, and I mean I don't want to hurt you, as long as I get what I want, I'll make sure you get out of here unscathed. The man said sincerely.
"You overestimate me too much, what do you think I can do to get in touch with the outside world in this situation?" The old man looked around at the white space, which seemed to be a small isolated world, and even the wind and sand outside could not blow in, so naturally it was impossible to send any news to the outside world.
"I never underestimate anyone, especially the greatest magician in the history of mankind, even if you can't contact him, I'm sure he will find a way to contact you, or he will find out that you have disappeared from the bakery, and ordinary people may not be able to find your whereabouts, but he can, he will have a way to contact you, and be sure to communicate my request to him then. The man said firmly.
Claire sighed, instead of fear in her eyes, a flash of fleeting compassion flashed, the old man's eyes seemed to be looking at a lost imp, "You haven't thought about a question, since the heresy knows about my existence, and there are people in the Wizards Guild who know about my existence, then after so many years, why don't they want to try your method when they know that there is no way out?"
The man was stunned, "Are you intimidating me?"
"I'm not trying to intimidate you, I'm just trying to give you a piece of advice, when you decide to sit down at the table, make sure you're the smartest guy at the table. ”

"Hey, what do you think those five holy weapons will be?" The team hurried in the direction of the inner city, the atmosphere was a little gloomy along the way, Gage suddenly asked, he slept last night when he got into a lot of sand in his clothes, but he got up late in the morning, and he didn't have time to tease, so he put on that armor in a panic, but now when he walked, the skin of the sand grinded was itchy, but his hand couldn't reach into the armor.
"Huh?"
"Aren't you curious when Principal Foreman announced the rules of the competition before, saying that there are five artifacts in the freshman competition arena?" The fat man tried various postures but couldn't get to that itchy meat, and finally had to give up and divert his attention by chatting instead.
The rules of this year's freshman competition have indeed changed a lot compared to previous years, especially the appearance of the five holy artifacts that can bring a lot of points, which obviously did not exist in previous freshman competitions.
But except for the name, everyone can't get any other relevant information, which makes these five holy weapons seem more and more mysterious, originally at the beginning of the game, everyone's attention was also focused on this, but then the teleportation array failed, the disappearance of the referee committee, and the appearance of the monster made everyone focus back on what was happening in the dungeon at the moment, and naturally forgot about those so-called holy weapons, until Gage brought it up again.
Anyway, being idle is idle, Rob said, "The term "holy weapons first came out of the church, when they preached, they claimed that those holy weapons were weapons left by the gods in the world to deter evil, but in fact, the holy weapons were cast by the high-ranking priests of the archbishop level of the early temples themselves, and their nature is somewhat similar to the enchanted weapons made by magicians, but the holy weapons are indeed very effective against monsters, especially monsters from the abyss, and the most famous nine holy weapons have killed countless evil creatures." ”
"Then do you think that the five holy weapons in the dungeon also have such power?" the fat man suddenly became interested when he heard this, "If we can find one, will we be able to deal with that monster?"
Luo Luo thought for a moment and said, "How could it be such a coincidence, a monster appeared here, and as a result, a holy weapon that can deal with monsters happened to appear in this freshman competition, so doesn't this mean that the person who held this freshman competition knew about the existence of this monster in advance?"
