Black Scepter Chapter 15: Hooked up
As of today, red tickets are optional.
............................................
Adeline no longer speaks. Although she has a temper of some noble ladies because of her pampering, she won't do anything quibbleful.
My elder brothers have spoiled themselves since childhood, and no one has ever bullied themselves. The three are all first-class braves. Adeline never believed that his three elder brothers would die in battle one day, but listen Suddenly, my father said this, she suddenly found that the world was far cruel than she thought.
"I am really reluctant to be a puppet, which is more desperate than the destruction of my Masoka card"
In the end, she was still unwilling to compromise.
"My daughter, do you think I look like a free person?"
Count Bolton suddenly looked into Adeline’s eyes and said softly: "My daughter, think about it carefully. Do nobles have more happiness than civilians? More freedom?"
Adeline is silent.
"We are all in a cage, and like a scalper, we can't stop because we are tired, because when you slow down, the people behind will step on you without mercy, no one cares. Your life and death, all we have to do is to move forward and move faster than others."
Count Bolton sighed softly.
The 18-year-old Adeline knows more naturally than her peers because of her family background. She has also seen noble scandals that the civilians may not have heard of in this life. The so-called noble life, except for the surface A complicated etiquette, inner fatigue is the real reason for negative will.
"Alive, either work hard or die, this is the family motto of the Brook family, Adeline, I think you should understand that the end of a person’s struggle should not be the so-called marriage, our Brook family, until lying down The moment before the coffin should be fighting for himself."
Either work hard or die. The choices left by people in reality are always cruel. The nobles of the lords are faced with the suppression of the Cardinal and the heretical referee. A lord may not Put Cardinal in the eyes, but now the situation is long gone.
"Harrington is not the best choice. He is cunning, cruel, and greedy. For nobles, these are excellent qualities, but for women, I admit that this is a disaster."
"Father..."
Adeline didn’t seem to want to hear the name, got up to protest, wanted to say something, but finally sighed and turned and left the room.
Looking at the daughter who didn't say a word, Count Bolton's face looked a bit old.
"If there are other options..."
......
As a standard lady of nobility, Adeline is impeccable in all aspects from senior cultivation to body and face. She has an egg face, blonde hair, and no **** with exaggerated scales, but it is a perfect ratio. Legs, but there is a fact behind the appearance that makes the nobles of the Medici secretly obsessed with countless times secretly. This girl who is usually arrogant and has a little stubborn temper is the "Masoka" Game lovers and collectors.
Or, it’s more appropriate to add the word “crazy” in front of the two – “Masoka” is a game that is simply not accessible to civilians, but for most people who study it It is said that such a complicated thing as a headache for magicians is definitely not a pleasant "game".
"Masoka" was originally a game invented by a group of idle and panic theoretical magicians. The original purpose was to show off and test a person’s memory and computing power. The rules are not complicated, but the card Cards are cumbersome and ordinary people are discouraged. The simplest game usually follows a principle of de-simplification. For example, "chariots" in civilianized war chess can eat "infantry" at will, but in Masoka cards, "Chariot" and "Infantry" are no longer a simple symbol, but have become a specific unit that is detailed to the limit-the type of "Infantry" can be "Byzantine heavy armor infantry" or "Fu" Ding Chongjian", "Gilman Mercenary", and even "Caslandi Light Infantry", etc., each category has its own attributes, including "mobile", "defensive ability", "offensive ability", " "Physical recovery ability", "maximum explosive power", "minimum combat strength", but this is not a single value, "infantry" in the Maso card is to calculate the final attribute according to the number of different, the calculation criteria are different There is a difference. The combat effectiveness of the three hundred Byzantine infantry is not simply multiplied by ten times when the number becomes three thousand, but is calculated by attenuation or increase in a specific area according to specific attribute values.
Without a brain that is different from ordinary people in terms of computing power and memory ability, the "Masoka Card" is simply a heavenly book that you can’t learn-you can’t learn it-a total of twenty-four arms, thirty-six buildings, and these basic cards are eliminated There are also new cards with more than five digits and corresponding calculation methods for different abilities over hundreds of years.
The most important thing about the rules of the Maso cards is that during the game, every time a card is played, a decision must be made within a minute, otherwise the loser will be considered.
This threshold has been raised to a level that is more horrible than the memory requirements of the mid-level magisters.
Under such terrible rules, Adeline, as a player who may be able to rank in the top ten in the entire sacred Gabriel empire but does not have any magic in itself, is absolutely a geek.
So for her suitors in the beautiful city of Medici, this young lady who has never shown her dew has a set of judgment methods in her boudoir.
Home-made Maso cards, with each suitor as a prototype and a custom-made card made with the other party’s occupation as a template-the above includes all suitors of nearly the entire Medici and nearby city-states, including Of course, Viscount Harrington is the most prominent, but apparently Adelin returned to the bedroom today to find a new thing to do.
Make "Morpheus? Roland" card, knight template.
Usually, this means that Morpheus has become the official suitor in Adeline’s eyes, but it is slightly different from the dozens of basic attributes on other cards. This card has one more Adeline Newly added content.
"Personal favorability."
.................................................. .................................
The Viscount Harrington has frequently traveled between the central church of the Medici city and his residence these days, and he returned to the mansion today to look in a very good mood, holding a copy of the Cardinal Waxing the letter, he waved his servant to secretly send it to the branch of the Medici city where the heretical verdict was located.
"Foreigners, always pay for their inadvertent recklessness."
The nobleman who was rated as "cunning", "cruel", and "greedy" by Earl Bolton narrowed his eyes slightly at the moment, with a sneer on his lips.
At the same time in the West Side of Medici, Morpheus was looking at the letter from Earl Bolton. Although there was no smile on his lips, his slightly raised eyebrows revealed that he was in a good mood.
This may be the first time Morpheus has been in the mood for the first time since he was shrouded in haze, because the letter brought by Earl Bolton expressed his clear opinion-although the words still have aristocratic corners, but Morpheus's actions in the hunting ground have been very successful in getting him into the sight of the lord and reaching the point of "emphasis".
Morpheus, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, looked away from the letter and suddenly asked, "How far is the branch of the heretical judgment from here?"
Compton behind Morpheus answered without delay: "The straight line is 1,472 meters away. If you take the nearest route, you need 1,788 meters."
"How far is the residence of the Viscount Harrington to the heretical ruling?"
"Straight line distance is 870 meters, no obstacles."
"What about his mansion to Jacob Cathedral?"
"Straight line distance is 3,517 meters~IndoMTL.com~The nearest route is 4,210 meters."
Morpheus was silent for a moment, reached out and took out the quill pen and parchment that had been on the table, and reached out to the silly big man: "More intuitive."
Compton reached for it and immediately began to paint the streets of Medici with a quill with incredible accuracy.
Morpheus silently looked at this blood family that seemed to be more and more mysterious in front of him, and he lamented the accuracy of the other party’s painting. If it was used to draw a magic circle, let alone Della’s perverted precision and depiction speed. , But one-tenth of the skill is definitely not bad.
In just five minutes, a city planning map that can only be seen in the city hall planning plan file is displayed in front of Morpheus, and because the paper area is not large, the above is exactly the same on the scale. The streets only highlight Compton's terrifying computing power and memory.
The Viscount Harrington, the Cathedral of Jacob, the branch of the heretical tribunal, the Earl’s House of Lord Count Bolton, and the current residence of Morpheus are all marked.
Morpheus only then realized how important a nobleman’s so-called “right and left” is. The distance between the Viscount Harrington and the Cardinal family of Jacob Cathedral is very far, but belongs to the Cardinal family. The place is absolutely not hostile, and the proximity of the residence is definitely not as simple as it is on the surface.
While observing this parchment that has not been completely dried with ink, Connor Meeks came to report to Morpheus an interesting piece of news-members of the heretical tribunal are moving towards here, three An ordinary administrative official is not a combat team.
"Sure enough, you're hooked."
Morpheus's mouth twitched slightly and got up and said: "Get a carriage, go to Earl's Court."
