I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"..."

Because if I follow her in the future, maybe Ai Xueer will learn from her——

Cheng Rang, who was thinking like this, even subconsciously forgot Ai Xueer's ability as a sea dweller. I am afraid that the first time the three of them met, it would be Rick who would suffer.

Chapter 59 The chess game called "World" ([-])

At the same time, the mansion of the elves.

"Well, no matter who you are, it seems that you can't just leave it alone."

Sure enough, it still couldn't perceive it, and the information had indeed been leaked out, because it wasn't someone else who leaked, but [Ghost] himself.

No matter how much the elves use magic detection, they can't tell the truth into a lie.

Having said that, she sat opposite the ghost, folded her hands on her chest and asked, "So this game—judging from the chips you mentioned, is it a card game?"

"No, it's a rapid chess game. This way it's easy to understand whether the two are cheating, right?" After the ghost finished speaking, his gaze fell on the chessboard that was already on the table.

The elf said: "Okay, let's start then."

"Okay, but not until then."

The ghost said as if contemptuously: "Could you please restore the chess pieces? I'm sorry because I played the white side first."

"—Ah, I'm sorry, because I don't know much about chess."

She deliberately pretended to be stupid, but in her heart she clicked her tongue at what had been seen through, and her expression was slightly distorted.

That was probably her best effort—the deceit disguised by the eight-fold technique was seen through.

The elf called Nina thought to herself, is it really dangerous to test an opponent of unknown origin?

Then she restores the chess piece, and at the same time thinks like this...

"Then our bargaining chip is... the theoretical advocates of [Void Zero Protection] are actually..."

"It's not you, I already have this information."

Using other means (lie) to test, such an elf who was smiling secretly, his face was obviously pale after hearing the next words.

"And this is actually false information, and the information that you want to use magic to make me believe that lie, I also have it."

.....what! ?

"Okay, you should have confirmed whether the lie works for me. Are you ready to start the game?"

the ghost asked happily.Even without using magic, the ghost of the opponent's mood can be clearly understood.

Because the other person's expression seemed to say——who the hell is this guy?

see

She looks like a ghost... Rick couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To put it bluntly, the secret is actually not a big deal.

Rick is human and can't perceive magic—he can't even tell that a chess piece has been tampered with.

But Rick can guess what the most intelligent person in the contemporary era, and the elf who is also the first magician, will do when he sees a person of unknown origin handing out a chessboard that has been arranged.

Therefore, he didn't mention "which chess piece" was passive, and he didn't let her use the magic that made people believe the lie.

—just bluffing, but it didn't look that way to her.Of course it was impossible for her to see it.

As long as there is a wrong judgment in these false moves, everything will be over.

She must... can't think of the necessity to do this to such a degree that her life is hanging by a thread.

If you don't achieve this level, you can't win. For the weakest existence of human beings, she can't think of it.

Therefore, she will censor information like this——

[Ghost] Can't perceive magic like camouflage magic, and can't detect signs of lying.

The number one in the contemporary era, even in the past, she was an eightfold magician who belonged to the legendary field, and she couldn't see through such magic.

If the other party really uses that kind of magic, no matter what, she has no way to resist.In the psychological warfare, he has also taken the lead, but the other party has revealed information that cannot be ignored.

He is neither an enemy nor a companion, so now he can only believe that sentence and try to extract information.

As the ghost said, as long as you confirm whether it is true or false, it will be fine.

"The information to bet on can be set by yourself. If the information is judged to be worthless, you can also request to change it. How about that?"

Worried about being tricked out with too unfavorable information.

As if waiting for her to think this far, Rick said so.

The elves couldn't help clicking their tongues.

"That is to say—if I ask for your true face..."

"Then I will also ask, and the price is to bet on information that is extremely unfavorable to you."

That's right, the elves can think, this is the purpose of the other party.

Abandoning optimistic thinking, we must assume that the enemy can expose all our lies.

Under such circumstances, try to extract as much information as possible, because the intention and true face of the guy who claims to be a ghost should also be detected and tracked from the obtained information.

"Okay, let's start the game. Neither enemy nor companion—I'll assume you mean no harm."

Hearing that, Rick snickered inwardly—yes, you'd definitely do that.

Because she has superior intelligence, because she has great power, because that is also her pride.

Because of this, it is easy to interpret and can be easily induced.

Then Rick still showed a smile that could see through everything, and raised his palm.

"Then——let's make a [Ghost]-style announcement and start the game. Can you please repeat it after me?"

That is...

"—[Sworn to Consent]—"

The first is the information that the elves asked Rick to give.

"I request [Void Zero Protection] to disclose the process to the goblins. If possible, please provide evidence."

"That's the bargaining chip I gave away..." Rick said, taking out the call recording stone that recorded the call sent by the goblin's fallen warship: "It doesn't have to be a special bet, I will also provide it to you."

You can't gamble with information that will expose the leaker, which is why Rick is giving it away.

"Compared to that, the information I want to provide is..."

Bring more luscious hooks and baits to your lips:

"After learning about [Void Zero Protection], the goblins still judge that it is not a problem, so I will bet on the basis of that judgment."

"You, what did you say!"

The zeroth protection of the void is considered "not a problem"? !

That means only three things.

If it is not too underestimated, it means that there are already defensive means, or, should it not...

"That's the one, 'Shouldn't'."

Like this, Rick said as if waiting for the result of the elf called Nina's thinking.

This is to deepen the illusion of her thinking being read.

"...Are you saying that you have the information?"

Avoiding the specificity of "shouldn't it" and responding with bluff, Rick smiled and said: "I have mastered it. The [Weapon] judged by goblins to be equal to or higher than [Void Zero Protection]."

That's right, Rick guessed it, that was exactly the answer she thought of "shouldn't be", and the elves gritted their teeth in hatred.

She has self-confidence, it is impossible to have a defensive method, and if she asks if there is any specific information, it can be known by the method of elimination that "probably" is the existence of more powerful weapons.

She was indignant that her thoughts had been read somehow.

As the number one magician in the contemporary era, and known as a wise man, he was unilaterally manipulated in the battle of wits.

This fact hurt her self-esteem and gradually robbed her of her ability to think calmly.

For that kind of her, Rick's idea is - half-baked.

If it is an absolute strong person, it is enough to kill him without saying anything the moment he encounters himself.

Just like when Cheng first met Shubi...

For Cheng Rang, who was entrusted to protect his own life, when he met other races, that is,

When the Ex-Machina is at its height, its first thought is to kill instantly - this is the courage and confidence possessed by an absolutely strong person.

Shubi later revealed to himself that after analysis, Cheng Rang's only sword skill used that time - a sword skill named "Secret Slashing Style", which contains the "high-ranking sword skill" that can't touch the fur at all when analyzed. strength".

Only relying on Shubi's machine, after a few minutes of analysis, it is even impossible to restore the original power of more than 5.00%.

Although Hubby didn't know why he was "unscathed" at that time.It has become the only unsolved mystery for more than a year.

.......

Back to the topic, if she has half-strength to test the enemy with her cleverness even for things like possibility or not, then don't boast of her intelligence.

Rick sneered inwardly.

Stupidity and weakness can't be boasted of course, but when that half power is sealed, if you want to compete with human beings only by "intellect"...

It is impossible to become an opponent at all.

Chapter 60 A chess game named "World" ([-])

"The magic system that was lost because of the Flügel—you re-weave a new system from it, and you are more arrogant than before. I respect your pride. As long as you beat me, I will explain it in detail. Then you have to bet what?"

Speaking of the information collected by the ghosts, Rick still stands in the dominant position.

I saw the elf called Nina biting her nails and racking her brains.

"......[Void Zero Protection] The possible number of current use, the information of the aircraft that can be carried, how about this?"

"Your understanding speed really helped a lot. You are indeed the smartest elf."

The weapon that transcends the zeroth protection of the void itself is unimaginable information.

Disclose the detailed information about the weapon——if there is no considerable price, the other party will not accept it, and she understands this very well.

Rick can imagine what a dangerous bet that is, but...using the advantages he has so far can also have the effect of shaking the other party, Rick asked deliberately: "Let me ask, what if the information leaks out?" , what will happen to you?"

"Leaking the top secret will cause the crime of treason, even the court sentence will be omitted, and it will be sentenced directly."

She thought it was a question that the other party asked knowingly in order to take away her concentration on the game, and the elf stared at Rick——

However, Rick was surprised by the consequences beyond imagination.

In fact, he didn't have any detailed information about the zeroth protection of the void.

Names and developers...the reaction to goblins bragging about weapons of super-scale destruction.

Then from this guy's reaction, Rick finally saw the outline of the whole thing.

But the elves are still determined to hand over the precious information.

"Even so, the zeroth protection of the void is an elf—the strongest spirit-destroying spell that put all my energy into it. If a mere goblin can create a weapon that surpasses that, then even if I sacrifice my life, I will die." To get that information..."

So it turns out that the zeroth protection of the void seems to be called a spirit damage technique.

Rick snickered inwardly, and then said, "Well - let the game begin."

......

When Cheng Rang returned to the secret base from the cave, he could only see Shubi who was fidgeting at the table.

"Where's Shubi... Rick?!" Cheng Rang showed a surprised expression, because half an hour had passed by the agreed time.

He thought he could see Rick and Shuby when he came back...

"...haven't come back yet..." Seeing Cheng Rang who came back, Shubi seemed to have found the backbone, stood up from the chair at once, ran to Cheng Rang, and said in a hurry:

"After calculation...Rick's body can only last for an hour...but now is the time!"
