"Yes, he originally wanted me to be his magic apprentice, but he didn't succeed in the end." Adeline was slightly triumphant when he talked about this. "Well, I'm not interested in memorizing any magic formula. It's disgusting to dissect the body."

She finished covering her small mouth and made a grimace. "I didn't say that on purpose."

"I won't tell your father, Miss Adeline will always be a model lady, will she?"

Adeline laughed heartily and was not ladylike at all.

The two had less than ten minutes to talk, and Compton had already put down all the cards there, and standing behind Murphy, there was still no fart in silence.

"So, I think Miss Adeline can tell me about the rules of the game of Masoka." Murphy's expression remained the same, but it was a familiar look.

The next two hours may be the two hours that made Adeline memorable for life.

Twelve years of experience in Masoka card research, as much as tens of thousands of match-ups and the confidence built by the genius' memory computing power, seemed to be a mess in the subsequent three games.

Murphy's own memory and calculation ability can only be regarded as the mean. He already has the level of the Magister. He is completely a "disability" with a solid theoretical foundation and no extra attack ability. If he is allowed to fight Adeline alone, it must be Losing couldn't find North, but the presence of Compton, the freak, made Adeline easily become a gritted teeth.

In the first game, both Murphys and Compton were adapting to the rules of the card, and Adeline didn't have the intention of hitting her face deliberately-so Murphys lost not very inhumanly.

But in the second game, Murphy began to grasp the density of the card strategy and the characteristics of Adeline's tactical style, and Compton, whose terrible computing power, would basically be too lazy to calculate memory in a few seconds. Something was answered, and in the face of this pair, Adeline found that the other party's level suddenly rose in a geometrical way, which made her feel the pressure instantly.

Adrien, who finally won the victory, opened the third game, but directly tied the game within ten minutes-this result really surprised Murphys.

"You are such a geek!"

This is Adeline’s latest comment on Murphy-she doesn’t understand the role of that stupid big man, but the layman sees the Masoka card and thinks that the winner will always be superior in memory and computing power, but the expert knows The real winner must be a military expert with a strategic vision and a tactical plan that is swift and prudent. The so-called data memory is completely "foundation". If you want to be outstanding, you must not be here.

No matter how powerful a soldier is, he is useless if he does not appear on the battlefield at the right time and in the right place.

Murphy, who finally left Earl’s Court, saw an unhappy face with his mouth pouting. He wanted to play another game and lost. He was rejected before he could make a request-apparently this is Adelin. Just see through, but this lady of nobility is in a bad mood, but the curiosity of Murphy is more vigorous.

"I will talk to you from time to time. There are too few opponents in the empire. Don't run around."

Adeline waved his fist, and it was a world away from the frost-covered girl in the winter hunting field. It seemed that it should meet the principle that certain flowers are only open to the people they like.

It is no longer a courtesy to kiss the back of your hand when you leave, but the relationship is closer than before.

Looking at the carriage with the Roland family emblem, Adeline's expression gradually recovered from the past, the old housekeeper did not know what to say next, because today the lady he saw was facing the nobles' attitude in peace It's a world apart, is this what is called "look right"?

However, the facts later told him that the Brook family had no mediocrity.

"A strategist who can use all the resources at his disposal is a good strategist. Those guys who just call what they have can only be foolish fools. He can do things that many people cannot do, so he is excellent. , This is why he became a big knight at the age of sixteen?"

Adeline asked the housekeeper calmly, and the housekeeper with the strength of a great swordsman stooped back and said: "It's just that such a person is too dangerous. Like a porcupine, no one knows if he is too close to him to be instinctive. Stabbed."

"Porcupine?" Adeline smiled, unlike the little girl-like smile before, but with a confident smile holding a card, "The man I want is not a porcupine who will fight back when attacked. If a person’s power is forced only by circumstances, then his power is meaningless."

A confident smile, a young but mature mind, the so-called genius is not only outstanding in a certain way-and this "strategist" who can rank in the top ten of the sacred Gabriel Empire Masoka card player just now In the three-set game, less than 30% of the strength was used.

"What's the reason for the fake aristocracy to go to the heretics court with all their efforts?"

Adeline took out the "Knight: Murphy" card in his hand and questioned softly.

.................................................. ........

If you ask who are the most powerful people in the sacred Gabriel empire, the answer given by most civilians will be the few earl lords and the monarch of the holy empire.

But the answer given by the nobles is by no means the same. The position of the lord at the top of the power pyramid will always be a minority. The apex is the majesty of the Pope, who is "infallible," and the second step down, then It is an imperial monarch and cardinal.

Lord? It's just a group of war lunatics, and few people can get on the stage in the political arena.

Gregorian city.

This city is located in the center of Medici and three nearby large cities. It is the closest city with a cardinal to the Vatican, and it is here that is the bishop of Popovich who is in charge of the beliefs of several nearby cities. .

The size and height of St. Victor’s Cathedral in the center of the city are enough to marvel the world. This ancient building, which is said to have been built for more than 400 years, is the sacred and only landmark building here. It is also Cardinal Popovich Residence.

The twin-towered cathedral makes people look up and involuntarily awake, the atmosphere is suppressed, and the numerous and priceless sculptures in the church make people have the urge to confess all the time.

At the moment, Cardinal Popovich, sitting in the office area of ​​the back hall of the church, does not seem to be in a good mood.

He didn't wear the red cloak and shawl that he would wear when attending important occasions, only a dark red cloth and a warm jacket. He was low-key and restrained. He has been ten times from the unprecedented position of this countless people. One year, his 67-year-old body is still tough-and this is one of his competitive capitals. In politics, living two years longer often means solving countless troubles.

Popovich, with her silver hair and a smile on her face in the past, now sat frowning at the desk, concentrating.

Sunlight shines through the tall, colorful glass, and the old man’s book case has an envelope with a dark golden stripe border, and the cross key emblem flashes-this is a letter from the Vatican Pope’s Hall.

The content of the letter said that Popovich was mixed, and he understood that the warm-up time before the big move had come, but that things in his jurisdiction had not been completely settled-since the loss of Sulfuras' scepter, the Holy See has been extremely nervous Even in a state of neurotic sensitivity, the news of the discomfort of His Majesty the Pope suddenly came out now, and the Cardinals who had been busy looking for the scepter suddenly felt... this all seemed too coincidental.

Unpredictable, Popovich, who lived sixty-seven years old, was naturally aware of this, so recently he cleared everything that might contaminate himself-including the Viscount Harrington who was dragged into the heretical ruling. 'S pleading, and all the requests of the second ancestors who want this high-weight bishop to help wipe the ass.

The task of searching for the scepter is almost more than half the dispatch of the Cardinals’ team, and similarly, the members of the Pope’s heretical decree have recently been seriously understaffed—obviously, whoever can get the scepter first will naturally be in "Possibly" appeared in the election of the new pope, so Popovich's mood is very complicated. If the scepter is found, then all is well. If other cardinals are found, his half-life effort is estimated to be only Stop here.

Walking in various parishes to attract support from believers? It may be a useful way to put it in the past, but Popovich understands that all established rules have been completely changed by the taboo scepter.

"It seems, only desperate."

Popovich doesn't like this choice without choice, but since he wants to do it, he has to work hard.

Medici.

Murphys did not see that the missions issued by the high-level night watchmen in the mission release hall of the heresy are all about "searching the scepter of Sulfuras", otherwise he will certainly change his established strategy- — But there are not so many in the world. If www.novelmtl.com~ when he stepped on the horse-drawn carriage to the forest in the southwest of Medici to perform the mission of the heresy, he would never have thought of the upcoming political changes in the entire Vatican Holy See. The key point has been completely condensed on the seemingly dull cane in his hand.

The carriage was not luxurious, and it was not that the Murphy who went to the banquet changed into a leather armor. The wand dagger was in place. Sphinx cleverly snoozed on Murphy's leg. Murphy, who often traveled recently, did not Dare to take this horrible World of Warcraft with you. After all, your identity still has a lot of flaws, and it is absolutely stupid to show people, but in the face of dangerous tasks, Murphy will naturally try his best to arm him to the extreme .

After discussing the Masoka card with Adelin, Murphy has already begun to practice a new strategy formulation method-a data game, that is, the Masoka card likes to digitize all individuals and even collectively, and then Playing games theoretically, this kind of computationally intensive thing seems to be a piece of cake for Compton, otherwise Murphy will not use this thankless way for the average person.

In his hands, he has created "Warcraft: Sphinx", "Blood: Compton? Meeks", "Blood: Conner? Meeks" and "Murpheus" without the title The prefixed cards, densely packed data, can be countless times more detailed than Adrien's "Knight: Murphy? Rowland".

Today’s first mission, Murphy did not intend to go to the southwest of Medici to write a reconnaissance report and then routinely ended. Connor Micks has been punished by blood servants who are not powerful The pagans sent out to investigate the entire outskirts of Medici. As dark creatures, they were like fish in the forest. They gave a comprehensive result report last night.
