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.


    Unless it is a doctor who needs to avoid responsibility, he will teach apprentices the signs of death and tell them not to try to cure them regardless of the other party''s wealth and benefits. To say that it is possible to touch the mystery, I am afraid it is only the mages of the school of life. After all, the mourners should at least find out whether the person they buried is really dead.


    "Unfortunately, what your school studies is really beyond my usual scope, so my sources should be different from what you guessed. The one who told me this truth is another fisherman from a distant place. He told me that in his hometown, the dead will be parked in a place for a long time with a piece of white paper on his face. This is to ensure death He said that after death, the body will not die immediately, and there will be a little vitality left in the body. The purpose of stopping soul is to wait for the vitality to dissipate. "


    "Haha, I didn''t expect that it was the funeral custom that let you find the reason to crack my soldiers. Should you be lucky? No, we all know that luck is just an excuse to push out changes we can''t understand. You did a good job. You kept curious about the world and absorbed and understood the things behind the knowledge. In this way, maybe I should add college pie The proportion of expatriate scholars may be a loss by keeping them here. "


    Funeral customs? The corner of the cheese''s mouth showed a touch of playfulness. What the fisherman told him was not as simple as custom in his opinion. It represented another way to look at the world.


    However, this is not something that needs to be corrected, because he is not very clear about the world from that perspective. He only had a preliminary experience when he first used Qi, and then broke this feeling after he used all his Qi to stabilize Yuni''s injury.


    This is the end of the conversation. It''s as subtle as the teacher''s assessment of a project for the students. The mural soldiers in the room did not return to the wall. They were still entrenched on the far side of the room, always posing a threat.


    Strictly speaking, cheese didn''t really win this round. As just said, the so-called win or lose is only a small part of the contest. He and keiras found a way to save lives among the soldiers, but they can''t destroy all the soldiers here by Requiem alone. So it''s not that the threat is eliminated, but that the threat is suppressed and becomes less deadly for the time being, that''s all.


    After taking a few deep breaths, Kairas finally breathed well when two mages, one old and one young, were talking. He even thanked the old man a little. If the other party hadn''t stopped, the cat goblin would have fainted because of lack of oxygen.


    But this is not a real game after all. Although it is disguised as a game, its content is fatal. After the original mural soldiers could not effectively kill the two people, the other party would naturally use more lethal means.


    "Since we have just mentioned the problem of black magic, you might as well come and learn the missing part. Black magic is always related to death. In other words, it is also related to life."


    The old man said and breathed out a little. The breath pushed the water head like an entity on the surface of the pool, leaving arrow shaped ripples towards the two. After it disappeared at the boundary of the pool, there was a brief silence.


    "Sand." Kairas''s goblin eye clearly caught the magical breath and disappeared there. It was the yellow sand left by the mural soldiers who had been knocked down by them before.


    The next moment, the yellow sand rolled up like a big hand and came straight to them.
