Chapter 1518 (1/2)

There are many ways to win. Many times, we subconsciously define winning as a complete victory of one side, but this is extremely one-sided, and the reason is likely to come from the game logic we accept.

In fact, the earlier games were not like this. One side won everything after winning, and the loser lost nothing. It was not a game, it was a duel or gambling. In earlier times, the winning or losing of the game was actually a less important thing by default by the people participating in the game. The reason is very simple. Once there is absolute winning and absolute losing, the game will end.

That sounds clear, but what happens when it's over? Will there be new games? Or is the game over?

The game is not an act of pursuing results, otherwise it can not be called a game.

Therefore, people who really understand the game will expand the limited game of winning and losing into an infinite game. In the infinite game, losing and winning are only phased, just like the rotation of the four seasons. Therefore, no spring has ever defeated winter, and summer has defeated spring, because strength is only a temporary appearance, and there is a larger context under the appearance.

Cheese knows this very well, because he experienced this situation when he was in the valley. He knows that many times the temporary victory or defeat is not to end the game, but to let the game continue, just like now.

Is the duel between cheese and the old man a game? Of course not, at least not here in the grey robe. But obviously, in the eyes of the other party, this big probability is a game. Otherwise, he would not deliberately reduce the impact of mural soldiers on the two people, and take the initiative to stop instead of directly adding weight when there are other means.

If the current situation is regarded as a card game, it's time for the old man to play again.

”Yes, before we continue, can you tell me how you detect it? Do you also study death magic? But if so, your black magic will never be so loose.”

The old man's voice was somewhat pleasant. He was not joking about the dark magic attainments of cheese, because for the casters of their level, the just corrupt magic was really too rough to use.

”Reasoning. Your means are really exquisite. My magic vision can't see through the appearance of these people. I can't imagine that their internal structure will be so pure before my companion knocks them down. Therefore, I can only find another way to speculate through what I see and know. Since the corruption magic is effective for them, I began to guess the energy of life in these creatures Origin. Finally, my conclusion is that they all come from the casters in this city. Your school is responsible for burying the dead mages here. Of course, they can also take the opportunity to collect the last ray of vitality from these dead. That ray of vitality is the core of these even people. ”

”Oh? Reasoning. Yes, that's good. But in terms of implementation, it's much more difficult to infer by logic than to see and feel directly by magic. How do you know the concept of the last ray of anger without saying anything else?”

Qi Si raised his eyebrows. He understood why the old man asked. Generally speaking, no mage will carefully study the process of death, because death is an irreversible process. Even if you know how it brings living creatures to the destination of silence, you can't interrupt or reverse it.
