Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 227 Unlucky?
"I originally thought that I could steadily advance to the top [-], and then I would be able to survive to the end by fishing. Unexpectedly, just last month, the bottom three in the standings were no longer tied. As the only last place, I also It is unavoidable to be chosen as the target of the assassination by the Faceless Men." The captive's tone was full of frustration.

"." Nima?It means that you are still not satisfied when you get the 21st place, right?
The prisoner noticed Ian's increasingly unfriendly eyes, and seemed to realize that what he said just now was a little bit of a beating, so he quickly added: "But this kind of lingering is meaningless, isn't it? Although I have persisted until now and have not been eliminated, but My strength has not improved in any way, and once I am chosen by the Faceless, I can only leave my fate in the hands of others as I am doing now."

"This is another point I'm curious about. How did you manage to be so good in the first half a year?" Ian asked strangely.

"Oh, this is a sad story," said the captive with a mask of pain on his face, "When creating characters, because the strength of the initial characters was very unbalanced and did not conform to the rules of normal competitions or games, so I Just guessing if you choose a really bad career, you're going to be compensated in other ways."

Like luck? "And you really chose one?"

"I am a rigorous person. When I have a conjecture, I am more inclined to obtain the answer through experiments." The prisoner paused, seemingly regretting, "So I chose a bankrupt blacksmith at that time.

You also know the mechanism of this game. Players can't get any resources in the system at the beginning. Relying on this garbage profession, it took me four months to complete the main task.

When I finally saved a little money and wanted to use the information of the original book to seek development, I suddenly found that whether it is Westeros or Essos, the entire plot line has been developed by you The player was completely destroyed, and I couldn't find a suitable entry point at all. "

That's such a sad story, Ian chuckled, "But even if you keep zero points for 4 months, you have never been picked by an assassin you can't kill. Good luck to you?"

"No," the prisoner shook his head, "Compared to this, I prefer the possibility that the leaderboard assassination mechanism is not randomly selected. I suspect that the player's initial role has an evaluation point.

Every time the scoreboard is settled, the players tied at the bottom will be re-ranked through the initial score. The higher the initial score, the lower the ranking. Only in this way can I explain why I have not been ranked until the last place without a tie. The reason for the assassin's choice. "

"Excluding the conjecture of coincidence, this is indeed a very likely conclusion. Although it is useless, your spirit of exploration is admirable," Ian couldn't help laughing, "But how dare you? Don't you know that we are risking our lives?"

"Originally, my division of labor in the alliance was only responsible for industrial development. No matter what career I choose, it will not affect my work."

"Responsible for industrial development?" Ian's eyes lit up. He and Celia are both half-baked on this issue. They know a lot, but when it comes to implementing the project, they are completely ignorant of those details, " What did you do before you entered the game?"

"I am a doctoral supervisor at RWTH Aachen University."

"Lie!" Ian's experience told him that the person in front of him was telling the truth, but he still slammed the table, "What reason does a successful person like you have to come here to die?"

Hearing this question, the prisoner's expression darkened a little, as if he recalled a very bad memory.

"A sad thing," shrugged Ian. "I'm sorry to remind you of this, but it was necessary to answer my question anyway."

"Yes, my lord," the Ph.D. supervisor took a deep breath, calmed down and nodded, "Before I signed up for the competition, I was leading a project in a country in Continental F. Unexpectedly, an armed rebellion broke out in that country, and the rebels occupied of our laboratory.

They took my wife and other co-workers, they forced me to join their men in this game, they need the prize money to buy weapons."

"The dangerous truth." Ian looked at the Ph.D. supervisor with some surprise, "I was surprised by your honesty. You should know that you admit that your goal is the full bonus of 100 billion knives, which means that the contradiction between us cannot be resolved. Reconciliation, this also cuts off the possibility of me forming an alliance with you."

"But I dare not lie, I am afraid of your eyes, it makes me feel that you can see through people's hearts." After finishing the doctoral supervisor, he immediately added, "I have given up getting the bonus now, I just want to live. I don't I wish I could form an alliance with you, you can let people watch me 24 hours a day, and if I have any changes, you can kill me without restraint. Let me work for you, as long as you keep my life."

"Deal," Ian snapped his fingers, "I'll play with the faceless man who was after you. In return, you will serve me throughout the game." After finishing speaking, Ian He added, "Don't rush to get discouraged, as long as people are alive, everything will turn around."

"Don't test me, I know that if I betray you, I will get nothing." The doctoral tutor said, "My name is Adam, and I am honored to serve you."

"Now, let's continue the conversation we just started." Ian waved his hand to let the Unsullied untie Adam, but let the water dancer Yada stand behind him, "Where are your allies?"

"I didn't get to see them," Adam shook his head. "We made an appointment to start the game in the river, and then go to the Crossroads Inn to meet. I rushed there as soon as I started, but after I stayed in the inn for half a day It seemed that some players had set a trap there, so I left in a hurry. I guess none of my allies survived."

Good guy!Are you still a fish that slipped through the net?Ian was a little dumbfounded, but thinking about it, his hunting targets at the time were hired knights, traveling merchants, mercenaries, and Brotherhood hunters. Who the hell would notice a poor blacksmith passing by?
"Okay, one last question, why are you in Astapor?"

"I received an optional mission in Volantis to help a certain Volantis noble come to Yunkai to order a batch of bed slaves, and then I rushed to Yunkai. It was there that I received my faceless The email notification that was targeted by the attacker, so I hesitated and decided to come to you for help."

Then you saved Mard again, are you really sure that garbage career will not increase luck?Ian thought absurdly.
