Although the Qianjieshu family is a "loser" family, that is, a large family that has united various declining or soon-to-be-declining magician families to seek reform and development, due to its loose structure and the head of the family, Danic, the family has retained a lot of pride or stubbornness of traditional magicians. Specifically, it strictly keeps the secrets of each family's secrets secret and is wary of technology and new things.
Of course, Qianjieshu is a rebellious family after all, and the pedantic and conservative atmosphere is not as serious as that of the Clock Tower. The younger generation of the family has also begun to seek new opportunities for development. Among them, there are two people who have done the best.
First, Sagara Baoma. He combined the oriental magic of the Sagara family and the black magic of the Eskel family, and walked out a path that belonged to him. If he continued, he might not be able to form his own school and create new glory. It was a pity that he was unlucky and ended up with his head and body separated.
The second one is Corles. He didn't make much progress in magic, but he was the first person in the Thousand World Tree Family to come into contact with and use the Internet. When he was still a child, Corles came into contact with the Internet and regarded it as the most important channel for collecting information and intelligence in the future.
From then on, Colles became addicted to the Internet, in a positive sense. Through self-study, Colles's Internet skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he could even compete with hackers in intelligence gathering. While surfing the Internet, he also came into contact with computer games, and would play a few games when he had nothing to do. Although his skills were not top-notch, it was no problem for him to crush ordinary players.
In his opinion, no matter how great a hero is, he can never be his match in computer games.
However-
"You are too young to fight me. How about it, Coles, do you accept it?"
Shinji pushed the mouse and stood up from his seat. On the computer screen in front of him, the red tank army was unstoppable and directly destroyed the blue main base.
"how so... "
Coles, who was sitting opposite Shinji, slammed his keyboard and collapsed in his seat.
At this time, it was almost noon. After Colles proposed to compete with Shinji in computer games, the group moved from Fiore's room to Colles' room.
Colles' room is very similar to Fiore's, but because he is a boy, there are fewer things in it - except for three computers placed in an arc. Seeing this, Shinji knew that this boy's gaming skills were definitely not weak. However, this did not shake Shinji's confidence.
Although he didn't know what game Colles would choose to play, with more than 30 years of gaming experience in Shinji's two lives combined, he was not afraid of any game, even one he had never played before.
In games involving control, the attributes of the Servant's body are enough to completely beat Colles. If it is a strategy game, then Colles has no chance at all. Shinji was a clumsy player in his previous life, so he is particularly keen on strategy games, and they are high-difficulty strategy games. The pleasure of finally breaking through the level after spending so much effort and planning step by step is enough for him to linger for a long time.
So, Coles was in tragedy.
The game he chose was "Red Alert", a real-time strategy game that was popular in the 1990s and was also the game that Shinji played the most when he was a child in his previous life.
The rules of the game are that if Shinji wins one game out of three, he wins.
In the first game, Shinji had to familiarize himself with the operation and production system, and he lost to Colles without any suspense.
In the second game, Shinji began to try to attack, but due to his unfamiliarity with the map and lack of proficiency in various operations, Shinji still lost.
In the third game, Shinji learned from the lessons of the first two games. Relying on a steady strategy and micro-management supported by terrifying hand speed (no skills, just fast hands. I can press five keys in the time you press one key), he finally succeeded in flattening the main base of Corless and won the final victory.
Shinji, who had won, began to taunt, while Coles looked annoyed.
"No, let's play one more round, just one more round."
In the last game, Coles should have won, but he made a strategic mistake and lost to Shinji. If he had another game, he would definitely not lose.
"Okay, come on."
Shinji, who has regained his feeling, is in high spirits. He is willing to play several more games, not just one. Unfortunately, the fourth game between the two of them never started because of Fiore:
"That's it, Coles. Lost is lost."
"But, sister—"
"Don't forget what time period it is."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over one's head. Now was the Holy Grail War, not the time to play.
"I got it, sister." Coles hung his head and lay on the computer desk.
"Remember to go check the assassin's report with Archer. We will report to Uncle Danic together in the evening."
After saying that, Fiore winked at Shinji, who understood and pushed Fiore's wheelchair away. From the moment he was summoned, as long as Shinji was with Fiore, he would take on the task of pushing the wheelchair. This was a way to build trust between master and servant and strengthen communication.
Fiore was still acting like a sister in the corridor until she turned a corner, then she asked quietly, "Did they follow us?"
"No." Shinji shook his head.
Fiore stuck out her tongue and relaxed her tense body. "Assassin, you won't be angry if I don't let you and Corless continue playing."
"How could that be? Fiore, you are absolutely right. Now is not the time to play." Shinji laughed, "Besides, if we continue to play, Corles can't beat me."
"Really?" Fiore turned her head, her eyes sparkling.
"Really. But why do you look like that?" "Isn't Colles your biological brother? Could he have been adopted?"
"Hehe, because Coles always says I'm a computer idiot. I thought he was so great, but it turns out he was just bragging. He can't even compare to a newbie like you."
Fiore's smile was very beautiful, and that radiance reminded Shinji of a rainbow after the rain. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue about the true evaluation of Colles - not for anything else, just so that she could keep this smile for a little longer.
Only at this time would she give up the position of head of the Fulvegi family, the position of heir to the Thousand Worlds Tree clan, and become an ordinary girl.
The burden on her shoulders is really too heavy.
Shinji and Fiore were talking about Corless, but Corless and Chiron were also talking about them.
After Shinji closed the door, Colles climbed up from the computer desk, the laziness on his face quickly faded away, he looked in the direction where his sister left, and asked meaningfully: "Archer, what do you think?"
"I want to hear your opinion first, Colles."
Chiron said as he put down the documents in his hand. He didn't have much interest in the game battle in the morning. He only looked at it for a while before turning his attention to Shinji's report.
"I can't say for sure, but I think there's something wrong with this assassin. He definitely wouldn't forget his real name and related things like he said."
"Why do you say that?"
"I can't really put my finger on it, but I feel like something's not right - Archer, what do you see?"
Colles knew that his sister was clumsy except in magic, and he was worried that she would be deceived by a servant with bad intentions. Today, he brought Chiron to contact Shinji, and he also planned to use Chiron's wise eyes to see through Shinji's true face.
"You're right. Assassin didn't tell the truth, or at least he concealed something. Born in obscurity, died in obscurity? Self-sealed? It's not impossible, but he acted too calm and accepted it too easily, with almost no doubts. I don't think he is such an open-minded person."
"Indeed, open-minded people won't compete with me in games." Coles nodded, "I must find a chance to remind my sister."
"No, don't rush to alert Miss Fiore."
"Why?"
"Hiding something is not a bad thing. Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know. I don't know why he hid it, but someone who really has bad intentions wouldn't be so high-profile as him, nor would he be so bored as to play games with you. And I can see that he truly regards Miss Fiore as his Master and treats Miss Fiore wholeheartedly - that's enough."
"I feel relieved when you say this."
There was no doubt in Chiron's eyes.
"By the way, Archer, can you tell which era and region he is from?"
"That... I'm not sure."
It is hard to imagine that Chiron, who is known for his wisdom, would be in such a difficult situation.
"He gave me a very contradictory feeling. His performance while playing computer games made me feel that he was active in an era not far from modern times. However, his aura made me feel a little familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before."
"You feel familiar, could it be a hero from ancient Greece?"
"It's hard to say."
The more Chiron said this, the more interested Corles became.
"I see. He is truly a mysterious figure. Let us slowly unravel this mystery - starting with this report."
PS: Not only will you feel familiar with it, but the other side will also feel familiar with it, because Erye ate the golden apple.
