Chapter 227 The Villainous Jin Suffers Repeated Defeats (28)
The Dream Doll is quite good-natured.
They were given ample time to read the rules.
After reading, the group regrouped.
Ace adjusted his glasses and said, "Because we don't know how long the game will take, or whether it will interfere with our exams."
"Since games also have winners and losers, how about we use our exam points as a bet?"
Leo frowned and looked at him, asking, "How does the bet work?"
"Everyone here is among the best of the freshmen, so they should all have at least 10,000 points, right?" Ace asked.
Everyone checked their points and confirmed that they did indeed have them.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ace said, "Since everyone has 10,000 points, then no one will put up 10,000 points as a wager, and the 60,000 points will be split equally among the winners, how about that?"
Faced with such a request, everyone thought about it carefully and realized that Ace's words made sense.
After Angelina agreed first, everyone else expressed their approval of the idea.
The Dream Doll then spoke up: "Everyone still has points? That's great! Games with prizes are more taken seriously!"
"Let me see... Alright! I've already included your bets in the rules of the game!"
"Let's start the game now!"
After a bout of dizziness, Yi Yi found herself alone in a somewhat desolate-looking manor.
I quickly tried to open the rules panel provided by the doll and found that it was still accessible.
However, the content remained unchanged, and surprisingly, no maps or anything were provided to the players!
Yi frowned and summoned her magic wand.
After chanting several incantations, a large swarm of light butterflies poured out.
They flew off in all directions.
Yi Yi stood still, a light butterfly resting between her fingers, watching the other light butterflies flutter and fly away.
Explore the map of the manor inch by inch and record it on the light butterfly in your hand.
Sensing the slightest movement, Yi Yi quickly chanted the incantation.
A light shield quickly enveloped her.
She turned sharply toward the source of the sound and demanded, "Who!?"
Mikael appeared from around the corner, wand in one hand and touching the wall with the other.
Upon seeing Yi Yi, his first reaction was one of delight: "Lily!"
Yi Yi, reacting with wariness, quickly froze on the spot.
Seeing that although Yi Yi was pointing her wand at him, she quickly used defensive magic to protect herself.
Mikal remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
Then she spoke up, "I'm a commoner too! Lily, you're a commoner too, right?"
Seeing that Yi Yi hesitated and tilted her head, neither putting away her wand nor making any move to attack.
Mikal became even more certain of his judgment.
He held up his wand and chanted a basic earth elemental attack spell to one side.
The spikes of earth that had solidified in front of the staff transformed into a shower of flowers the moment they were shot out.
It failed to send at all.
Yi Yi could sense that he hadn't intentionally tampered with the magic.
That leaves only one possibility...
After demonstrating, Mikael explained the current situation: "It seems to be able to determine whether magic is offensive, thus banning offensive magic used by civilians. I suppose you've tried it, Lily, so this should prove my civilian status, right?"
Yi Yi slowly put down her wand and casually deactivated her protective light shield.
The light butterfly in his hand turned into a map at that moment.
Looking at the completed map, Yi Yi thought for a moment and then copied it into six copies.
Yi nodded and tossed one of the maps to Mikael.
I realized she used magic to discover the map.
Mikal's gaze followed the approaching map. He raised both hands to catch it, and said without any hesitation, "Speaking of which, I've tried it. The terrain here cannot be destroyed or modified; it's fixed..."
I couldn't say anything more.
Because Mikal's chest was pierced by the light bullet, he quickly turned into a corpse lying on the ground.
The map traced a graceful arc across his face.
Then it unfolded to cover his face.
Yi walked to his corpse and raised her wand: "Very useful hidden information, thank you very much."
The light bullets hit him, but had no effect whatsoever.
In an attempt to destroy the evidence, Yiyi crouched down and carefully examined Mikar's condition.
They discovered that the marks from the hole in his chest had disappeared.
Only a completely unharmed corpse remained, lying stiffly.
If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't breathing, she would have looked as if she were just asleep.
Yi Yi took the map off his face.
I learned that murdered people become corpses without any wounds but that cannot be destroyed.
They tried to move Mikael's body, but the body had clearly crushed a patch of grass.
Yi Yi, however, could not touch it.
Yi stood up thoughtfully, considering whether she should try reporting the body to see what would happen.
A bell rang out, its sound echoing throughout the manor.
A line of text flashed before my eyes: We need to talk!
Then Yi Yi found herself sitting in front of a long table.
In the main seat was Ace, who looked somewhat surprised.
Ace quickly realized what was happening and coughed twice to indicate, "It was I who activated the forced summoning ability of civilians."
He paused and then said, "I was thinking that since every civilian has one chance to summon, then we should let each civilian use it once, and then vote out those who cannot use their summoning opportunity."
After he finished speaking, he looked around.
To their surprise, they discovered, "Where is Prince Mikal?!"
Yi Yi hummed twice, realizing that there didn't seem to be any such thing as a speaking order.
So he said, "I don't know, but judging from the rules, I'm probably eliminated."
Ace seemed to have his train of thought disrupted by Mikael's early elimination, and fell into a state of confusion: "Then... what should we do?"
Ii watched as Ace, who had proposed launching the rally, descended into chaos.
Trying to get the rhythm, he said, "I tried it before, and civilians can't use offensive magic. Maybe we can use this method to identify civilians during the meeting."
Ace looked up at Yi Yi.
Under Il's unwavering gaze, he attempted to summon his wand.
But the wand did not react.
Yi blinked and realized that the magic wand she had been holding had also disappeared.
After trying it out, they could only helplessly say, "Okay, this method won't work. We can't even use magic during the meeting."
Surprisingly, Yi Yi still had the map in her hand.
Is it a lenient approach by lowering the difficulty, or is it a loophole in the rules that allow magical creations to be brought into the meeting?
Regardless, Yi Yi took the initiative to try and control the pace: "Since we're in a meeting, let me first state that I'm a commoner."
"You should all have seen my light butterfly, right? I've drawn six rough maps. Everyone, take the maps."
After some thought, everyone decided that having a map wouldn't be a bad thing.
They all took the map and unfolded it to look at it.
Fischl glanced at the map and then put it away.
He timidly asked, "So what do we do now? Do we need to vote?"
Faced with this problem, Ace, sitting in the main seat, murmured, "My original plan was to determine the civilians' identities by forcibly summoning them, so that whether the knights acted or voted, there would be a basis for it. But now, if someone has already been eliminated after only fifteen minutes..."
The slight deviation from expectations left Ace, who had only just managed to grasp the rules, confused about his next steps.
I thought I had come up with a foolproof plan.
Unexpectedly, the 15-minute gap was still too large, and some people were eliminated quietly.
The feasibility of my plan seems to be not as high as I thought.
