Game time PM14:27
Academy City Central District, Dan Slave Military Academy [War League] match scene
Along with bursts of ghost cries and howls from all directions, two lines of powerful characters suddenly appeared on the No. 1 broadcast screen——
[Tianhui Theological Seminary] Sixth grader, Richard Lane, defeated, the combat objective was completely failed, the remaining troops under his command: 11.5%
[Dreamland Theocracy Delegation] Lamorlock, won, the combat objective Not achieved, remaining troops under his command: 18.7%
......
"Ha~"
Li Cha, who was sweating profusely, swayed, as if he had collapsed. He fell back on the chair, gasping for air, while the staff officer standing next to him slumped on the ground without any image, sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"This is just a scam..."
In the last ten minutes, the staff officer, who had almost taken on all the details for Richard and produced no less than twenty auxiliary command cards alone, gritted his teeth and hammered the floor. , said angrily: "If this kind of thing hadn't happened on the deduction stage, if it had been on a real battlefield, that guy would never have been able to deceive people so smoothly to come and kill us! Before we were beaten through the position, he had already He was torn apart by his comrades!"
Li Cha raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, then threw a handkerchief to his friend and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense. , I don’t believe you haven’t seen that the main reason why Priest Lamorlock fought like this is that this is a ‘deduction stage’ instead of a ‘real battlefield’. If it were real...heh, he wouldn’t do it. Fight like this."
"That's why I said he was cheating!"
The staff officer slapped his knees angrily and shouted: "What's the point of winning by taking advantage of loopholes? ! Damn it, did he really cheat? We tried so many tricks, but none of them worked!"
Richard pressed his knees hard, stood up amidst a sense of separation, and forced a smile despite the dizziness of his mind: "I'm not cheating. If nothing else, it's just those things that are useless to the deduction platform." I, a person who often goes to the military academy for internships, should know better than Lamorlock. Do you think I took advantage of it?"
"Haha, you are so righteous."
"Fart, I don't have the brains!"
Richard kicked his friend who was lying on the ground and tugged at the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, although I can't say that I am completely convinced, but I don’t think we lost unfairly, let’s go.”
After that, he walked towards the central area where the core components of the sand table are located.
"Okay, okay, if you say you're not unjust, you're not unjust. Alas, I feel quite aggrieved anyway... Ouch!"
Stand up, the staff officer shook his head, and followed Richard out. , but unexpectedly the other party suddenly braked hard and almost hit him.
The staff officer was about to complain, but suddenly he noticed a familiar-looking figure wearing a silver windbreaker walking briskly towards the stage, with a clean smile on his face that made people feel like bathing in spring breeze. .
Who is here?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he heard Richard in front of him murmur in a slightly trembling voice——
"Lamo... Locke?"
Lamo Locke?
Damn Lamorlock! ?
The staff officer was stunned at first, and then he was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the man who had walked to the main sand table and stood there. He had a pair of slender phoenix eyes and seemed to be smiling forever. The man reacted for a full five seconds before he finally recognized the reality.
Isn’t this Lamorlock!
No matter how you look at it, it’s Lamorlock!
But the question is, why did Lamorlock come from the direction of the player area instead of coming out of the opposite room?
For a moment, the thoughts of the staff officer fell into chaos, but under this chaos, he had actually vaguely perceived the truth, a terrifying truth that was both frightening and terrifying!
He still remembered the information he had told Richard before, that is, in the tenth minute after the start of the game, when he went out to enter the command cards, he saw the staff officer opposite holding two large stacks of command cards, dumbfounded. Standing blankly in front of the main sand table.
Neither of them paid too much attention at the time. After all, it was during the competition. They might have come out to change it just because there was something wrong with the official command card. Even if it was for other reasons, they were busy at the time. Richard and his fellow staff officers, who were reinforcing their positions, had no time to think about anything else.
However, at this moment, Lamorlock, who had obviously walked here from the player bench, had already solved the mystery with practical actions.
A mystery that makes people shudder just thinking about it.
"Mr. Lamorlock..."
Richard, whose face turned pale at some point, stiffly tugged at the corner of his mouth, took Lamorlock's right hand that he stretched out to him, and said in a voice He said dryly: "Thank you for your advice, I am convinced..."
"Haha."
Lamorlock just smiled, then turned to Kaluz Weber who looked like he had seen a ghost and asked: "I'm sorry, Mr. Referee, if it's convenient, I can borrow a few minutes to be alone with Mr. Richard." Would you like to chat?"
Obviously, Lamorlock knew that it would take at least five minutes for the two referees to complete the operations of 'erasing the command card', 'save the video', and 'reset the magic sandbox'. That's why I made such a request.
Carruz turned to look at Teresa, and after finding that the latter was looking at the command cards attentively, he immediately gave up hope on her, and then nodded on his own initiative: "Of course, Lamorlock is the officiant, but please don't delay too long. There are still players to compete later."
"Of course, thank you very much for your understanding."
Lamorlock He smiled, then nodded to Richard, who looked a little lost, and motioned for the latter to follow him to the command room opposite.
"Richard..."
The staff officer who had been glaring at Lamorlock since just now pulled Richard, obviously not wanting him to really have a 'heart-to-heart' with Lamorlock, for no other reason... If the game just now was really what he thought, then the insult contained in it was really too strong.
"It's okay."
Richard shook his head, raised his hand to stop his friend, and then followed Lamorlock in. The latter probably only stayed for ten minutes. Arrive at the command room.
……
"Then..."
After closing the door and confirming that the soundproof barrier was still operating smoothly, Lamorlock sighed softly and bowed slightly to Richard: "I'm sorry, Li His Excellency Charles Lane."
" Ah!"
Richard, who had not expected such a development, exclaimed, quickly supported Lamorlock, and said in surprise: "What are you doing..."
"I just want to apologize to you."
Lamorlock no longer stubbornly played the ninety-degree bow. He just shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I think you have guessed that I left the table as early as the tenth minute after the game started. , all subsequent developments were caused by my staff officer in accordance with my instructions and in accordance with the special It was completed by entering the command card at a high frequency."
Richard nodded and smiled a little dejectedly: "Indeed... although I only guessed it when I saw you."
“Although from my position, I am not qualified to speak Such words."
Lamorlock sat on his command seat and looked at Richard with his clear and clean black eyes: "But losing in such a way, especially in full view of the public. I was given a pre-designed instruction. It must not be something that can be easily released. "
Richard, who was really a little depressed at first, laughed with relief and sat down on the staff seat next to Lamorlock: "Yes, I am. I just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. It was really embarrassing.”
"Yes, that's why I apologize to you, Mr. Richard. You and I are both clergymen, and I have caused you such a huge loss of face. I would really feel uneasy if I didn't explain it clearly."
Ramo Locke smiled, then leaned forward slightly and patted Richard sincerely. Shoulder: "I hope you can believe that I did not do this to humiliate you. The reason why I did this was because of some unspeakable secrets..." Richard also laughed: "Although I am also curious about the reason, but Since you have already said it is 'unspeakable', It must not be something that is more convenient to reveal. By the way, I believe your explanation, Priest Lamorlock, because you don’t actually need to explain it to me.”
“ That would be great.”
Lamorlock then looked relieved, and then said briskly: "But if you are willing to keep it a secret, Mr. Richard, I don't mind telling you the specific content of the 'unspeakable secret'. After all, you can be considered a An indirect victim.”
Richard looked at Lamo Locke with some surprise. He was silent for half a minute before slowly nodding his head and saying, "I'd like to hear the details."
"The reason is very simple."
La Mo Locke Locke was also happy, and immediately said the truth: "I was just provoking the Black Vatican priest of your sect. That's all, so no matter who the opponent is in this game, I will do it, and I have absolutely no intention of targeting you."
"Hei... Hei Fan?"
Richard was. He was shocked and said in amazement: "Provoking him? Why?!"
"Because I'm worried...I'm worried that Heifan won't try his best when facing me."
Lamorlock sighed and shrugged: "That's why I will use his best attack. I want to compete with you, hoping to make him a little more serious."
Richard's eyes were about to pop out at this moment: "Hei Fan's best fighting style... Mr. Lamorlock, you. What are you talking about..."
"Huh?"
Lamorlock also widened his eyes and said curiously: "You don't know the actual commander of the battle in Sumir some time ago. Is it Hei Fan? ”
Richard: (O_O)
Lamorlock continued to be curious: "Aren't you all from the Dawn Sect?"
Richard continued: (O_O)
"Uh , well, it seems that you really don’t know.”
Lamorlock touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile: “In short, the only reason why I will participate in the [War League] is to compete with Black. Pastor Vatican had a discussion, but he seemed... No, if you don't know about it, Mr. Richard, it doesn't seem like it. It should be said that he is too low-key, and always gives me a kind of "even if we can match each other." There is absolutely no illusion of a good fight."
"This...I...you..."
Richard opened his mouth, and after organizing his words for a while, he stuttered and said: "Priest Lamorlock, do you think that Pastor Heifan is with you?" Commanders of the same level? "
"Haha, the same level or something is a bit too general."
Lamorlock waved his hand and smiled briskly. Said: "But I personally think that Pastor Hei Fan can arouse my desire to have a little game with him. This fact itself can speak for itself."
Richard trembled unnoticeably. After a while, he then looked down at his clasped hands and murmured: "So, Priest Lamorlock, in your opinion, the gap between me and Priest Black Van..."
"In order for him to fight me seriously, I decided to use his good style in the second round, and you, Mr. Richard, are my opponent in the second round."
Lamorlock is lazy Rubbing the handrail, he said calmly: "And I didn't change my decision for this."
"..."
Richard was silent, although he knew that Lamorlock had already It was putting it mildly, but it still stung him.
And in this stinging pain, there is an inexplicable hint of relief.
"But I hope you won't belittle yourself, Mr. Richard."
Lamorlock stood up, patted Richard on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "I will apologize to you for my reckless behavior. , but it does not mean that I I will also apologize to others for this matter."
Richard looked up at the other person in confusion: "I don't understand..."
"Let me explain it clearly. So I would like to come over and have a chat with you, yes Because I think you are an excellent conductor and an excellent chess player, I will feel sorry for offending you, and among all players, I, Lamoureux, will never be able to evaluate me like this. More than five."
Lamorlock smiled reservedly and smiled: "To tell you the truth, Richard, you have done a good job in defense. In this regard, what you lack is not something that cannot be made up for through hard work. Got it? ”
"Then can I understand that..."
Richard also laughed, stood up and shrugged at Lamorlock: "I have won your respect with my strength?"
"Of course, you don't need to doubt this at all."
Lamorlock laughed, and then suddenly fell silent. After a while, he softly said: "I have the liberty to ask, Mr. Richard... …"
"But it doesn't matter."
"If, I mean if, you want to achieve higher achievements in this field, or want to avoid some detours, would you consider coming to the Dream Kingdom and letting me give you some guidance or help?"< br>
“What did you say!?”
“Please don’t get me wrong, I didn’t ask you to leave the Dawn Sect, I just thought...I might be able to provide an outstanding young man like you with a... …A good internship platform?”
“I don’t understand.”
“The southwest continent where the Theocracy is located will soon be in chaos, and I can provide you with an internship position. Among them, the highest is...the general and the deputy chief of staff."
"..."
"Mr. Richard?"
"Are you kidding, Priest Lamorlock?"
"Haha, otherwise, of course I am You're kidding~"
"Ha...haha...you are so funny"
"People often say this, so goodbye, let's discuss it again when we have the opportunity, Mr. Richard."
"Thank you, Priest Lamorlock, I have benefited a lot."
......< br>
【I have benefited a lot, but... I really want to... compete with you a second time...】
