Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 511: Chapter 516, Invitation Letter

At noon today, Hiri had just been liberated from the torturous course of the purple-clad man.

Not long after he was liberated, Jose told Hiri a piece of good news, which was that he had come up with a new game that he hoped could be tested by Hiri.

Currently, all the games in the game partition of the Spellcaster Forum were tested by Hiri before they went online.

As a veteran game tester, and the kind that was exclusive to Joshua, Hiri did not find any game that was ‘not fun’in all of the games that Joshua had created so far!

The news of the new game was undoubtedly a surprise to Hiri.

Just as she ran to the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern and asked Joshua where the new game was, Joshua pointed to a square ‘wooden plate’on the wooden table. There were square lines drawn on it.

There were chess games in this world, but Hiri was not interested.

Just as Hiri guessed that there were some strange inscriptions carved on the wooden plate, just like the legendary arcade game of Hearthstone, the result was very regrettable.

It was really just a piece of polished wood, and there were two boxes of black and white original crystal fragments. Of course, they were also polished.

What made Hiri even more depressed was that even if Josh had explained the rules of the game, she did not even know how she lost the first half an hour.

In the second half an hour, even if Hiri had figured out how to play this ‘Go’, she was still going to be crushed by Josh.

Such a terrible game experience aroused Hiri’s competitive spirit, but she still chose to give her position to the gray-clothed man.

“It’s okay to say it just once, right?”

Hiri whispered in Joshua’s ear.

Go was not like those simple games on the magic web where you could have fun. The rules and tactics in it were as complicated as studying a new spell.

At least in the game just now, Hiri did not experience any fun at all.

“It depends on the gray-clothed man’s ability to understand.”

Joshua said this in front of the gray-clothed person. The sage was sitting opposite of Joshua, pondering over this chessboard.

The dwarves who were not playing cards around came over to take a look and left after feeling bored. Those who stayed behind to watch were all human spellcasters.

“Gray-clothed person, you go first,”said Joshua.

“According to the rules of the game that you explained, this should be the way to go.”

The grey-clothed man picked up the black chess piece and placed it on the bottom right.

“Have you mastered the trick? Hiri always played the first move of heavenly essence the last few times.”Joshua also picked up the chess piece and placed it on the other side.

“Heavenly Essence? These dots have names.”

The grey-clothed man stared at the crisscrossing chess board. Initially, he came to the Hearthstone Tavern to find Joshua to inform him of something, but when he saw the black and white chess pieces on the table, the grey-clothed man temporarily put down the task of informing him.

He watched the game between Joshua and Hiri from the side for a moment. He initially thought that it was just an extremely simple game. After all, the tools were very simple. There were only two differences between black and white.

However, after careful study, the connotation of the game was so complicated that it made the gray-clothed man’s scalp go numb.

“It’s not really a complicated name. Let’s talk about it from the side.”

Jose said after watching the gray-clothed person pick up another stone and place it down.

Hiri also found a small stool and sat down to watch the game. The game had been going on for more than an hour.

The time that the purple-clothed person gave Hiri to rest had also come to an end.

“Hiri.”

The purple-clothed person slowly walked down the stairs. She was ready to take Hiri upstairs to continue her lesson, but she noticed that a crowd had gathered at the side of the tavern.

This was a very common situation in the Hearthstone Tavern. A well-known hearthstone player, the birth of a legendary card, and even an exciting duel would attract a crowd of people to watch.

However, this time, the people who were watching were not the busybodies of the dwarves, but the spell casters in the Hearthstone Tavern.

When the purple-clothed person walked towards those spell casters, they all recognized the purple-clothed person’s identity and consciously made way for him. Meanwhile, the purple-clothed person also saw in the crowd the seated Rahiri… and the gray-clothed person.

Nolan and the two sages appeared in a tavern at the same time. If it were in the past, no one would believe it.

When the purple-clothed person shouted Hiri’s name, he noticed that Hiri was not watching a hearthstone competition, but a chess game?

“Teacher, is your body okay for you to suddenly run out?”Hiri asked.

“I’m not as weak as you think.”

After giving this answer, the purple-robed man looked at Joshua and the gray-robed man, as well as the black and white primary crystals placed between them.

These primary crystals were all ‘waste’, which meant that the primary crystals had lost their magic power. They were no different from ordinary stones.

However, the gray-robed man was staring at these ‘waste’with a serious look on his face. From time to time, a conflicted expression would flash across his face.

“What’s This?”Although it was not the first time the purple-clothed person had seen the gray-clothed person so serious, it was the first time she had been so conflicted in order to play a game.

“Go.”At this time, Hiri took on the role of a commentator. “The rules of the game are simply to surround the other party.”

“UH… Hiri, although your explanation can’t be considered completely wrong, it can’t be considered right either.”

While the gray-clothed person was thinking, Joshua took the opportunity to intervene in her conversation with the purple-clothed person.

“This chess piece should be placed here! That’s right…”the gray-clothed person suddenly raised the black piece and placed it down again. The Owl standing on the table also made a happy ‘Coo’sound on his behalf.

“Gray-clothed person, did you come here to play this?”

The purple-clothed person really couldn’t bear to see the gray-clothed person lose the dignity of the sages like this, even though the gray-clothed person had always done such things like refreshing the sages and logging off.

“No, I’m here to inform Joshua about something.”

The gray-robed man finally remembered the purpose of his visit to the Hearthstone Tavern. He took out an invitation letter from his worn-out robe and handed it to Joshua.

“What’s This?”

Joshua took the invitation letter and found that the magic power inside did not seem to belong to the gray-robed man. However, the magic that sealed the invitation letter was very complicated, and the quality of the paper was also very expensive.

“After the discussion between the Sage Council and the Nolan Patent Council, you have been listed as one of the candidates for the SKJERONA award. The award ceremony will be held in Nolan’s Crystal Palace in two months,”the gray-clothed person said.

“The Skjerona Award?”

Joshua searched his memory carefully and remembered that the purple-clothed person had mentioned this award to him.

When Jose told the yellow-robed man and the gray-robed man about the idea of the Nobel Prize, the Sage Council really approved this award and named it the SKJERONA award.

Jose did not expect that this place would one day become a Nobel Prize candidate in another world… but perhaps the invention of the magic net was really qualified to receive this award.

“Maybe I should set up a few more awards, such as Oscar, Grammy, and Jepree.”Joshua put away the invitation letter, then he picked up the white chess piece again and said, “But for now, let’s finish this duel first.”
