The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

On the one hand, it is to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it is to set the appearance period of this kind of card in the period when the Mebrian Kingdom has not yet been born, and the demons are dancing wildly on the mainland.

Therefore, the positions in the church in ancient times were the ones set in the array cards, and adventurers did have a ninth rank at that time!

Dissatisfied?

The back of the array card is printed with the family crest of the Caprete family with a long history. If you have the ability, find someone who understands history better.

Even if there are really hard stubbles to hit the field, Riber can still come up with rogue-like logic.

"It's just a leisure sport, so why do you take it seriously?"

In short, Riber is definitely invincible.

In addition to the localized card names, Riber also made some improvements to the gameplay.

Of course, Ribel will not change the core gameplay that has undergone thousands of years of changes and has been fully verified, and he thinks it is unnecessary.

It's just that he felt at the time that even if the name of the card was changed to be taller.The four nobles gathered around a small narrow table to rub cards, somewhat out of place.

So, he used the simplest method.

The trump card became bigger, almost half the size of a human.

Then, drawing and cutting cards is all physical work, no one should say that this is not exercise, right?

Although, even if it really becomes a movement, the nobles will not move.Probably, let the followers do these physical tasks, and drink tea in the distance like a commander.

However, after reaching this step, Riber found another problem.

That is, when the cards are big, the fluency of this "sport" becomes slower and takes up more space.Therefore, it is estimated that four nobles can play a round of mahjong there for a day, and the unknown restaurant can provide up to two venues.

This is obviously not conducive to circulation, publicity, etc.

So, after thinking hard for a while, Riber came up with a plan that he thought he was a ghost.

Split the sports that only four people can participate in into 16 people.

In other words, each of the four forces is composed of four people.

There are thirteen starting cards, one participant is only qualified to control three cards, and the remaining one card is a fixed card that cannot be moved from beginning to end.Moreover, the steps of drawing cards are four people taking turns in one party.

In the end, the aristocratic game of mahjong, the "array" card, which became more cumbersome, was revealed at a banquet held by Riber.

At present, at least the regular customers of the unnamed restaurant are quite fond of this sport.

Even, before Riber knew it, new additional rules had been derived from this array of cards.

That is, each noble who participates in the array card can only bring up to four followers.

The four attendants also have their own duties.

A staff-like role.

A diplomat-like role, mainly negotiating with the other three in the same camp, to facilitate the winning of cards.

A mighty general-like character who is responsible for the announcements when other people's cards are collected, such as "eat", "peng", and "kong".

The last one is simply doing physical work.

Of course, Riber has also made localized modifications to these nouns such as eating and drinking.And because a participant actually controls only three cards, when he makes the act of calling the cards, it is basically equivalent to hanging up at this point.However, whenever the cards are called, even if they fail to win the last round, the nobles who call the cards will show a proud attitude and sit in their seats very proudly.

If you ask whether the array card is fun, Riber thinks it should be fun... At least, for these nobles, before the novelty period has passed, they may be addicted to it like a dream.

Under the cumbersome rules, the more stringent the conditions for victory, the greater the joy after one success.

Moreover, this array of cards is particularly lively.

After all, counting the entourage, no more than eighty people can't start a game.Then, it is basically a situation in which 20 people gather together to discuss a card, and [-] people are shocked by throwing a card.

Counting the onlookers, just from the atmosphere created by the number of people, it may really feel like scolding Fang Qiu on the battlefield.

However, for Riber who knows what real mahjong is like.He watched a game of array cards that couldn't end for a few hours, and felt that his blood pressure was about to go up.

He is not a ghost, he is simply a treasure...

Just when Riber sat in the VIP room for more than half an hour, and the array of cards had only gone through a few rounds, the guests he was waiting for finally entered the VIP room.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency. We encountered some trouble when we were looking for the location of the restaurant."

Walking into the VIP room, it was a woman dressed in black who spoke apologetically.

Not only the long skirt and gloves, but also the woman wearing a black veil on her head. Judging from her posture and voice, she is quite young.

But actually...

"It's okay, Professor Aymo. It's still early, and we have enough time to discuss."

After standing up and making a slight gesture, Riber sat down with the woman named Aimo.

Although, can't see clearly.But if you look closely, you can see that this woman has black hair and... pointed ears that are clearly different from humans.

Professor Aimo is the last of the four professors of the Four Corners Society.

At the same time, he is also the vice president of a chamber of commerce named Yaojin.

...

...

In the VIP room, Riber was drinking tea while talking with Professor Aimo.

Although, both sides seem to be deliberately avoiding the topic of this day.However, some anecdotes about the Four Corners Society also filled the conversation between them with a rather pleasant atmosphere.

Before he knew it, Riber already had a lot of friendship with the Four Corners Society.

At the top, Moby, who is like a "queen mother", is an accomplice and a cooperative relationship with Riber.

Among the four professors at the bottom, Professor Moran is the most familiar to Riber, and he exchanged several letters with Professor Hagu, and for some reason, Professor Ferro came to apply for the chef of the unnamed restaurant a few days ago. Bell also passed.Finally, there is Professor Aimo in front of him.

Looking further down, Melueita is now also a formal student of the Four Corners Society.

I have to say, although the acquaintance time is still very short.But in the Scourge Church, the Four Corners Society is more intimate to Ribel than the "home" of the White Witch Council.

However, it is true that the professors in the Four Corners Society are not doing their jobs properly.

Moran...

I won't mention it.

Riber didn't know exactly what she did.

Professor Hagu, who seems to have some choice difficulties, is a pure historian.After the Four Corners Society reached some cooperation with the True King Church, it is said that it is now buried in the library of the True King Church.

The words of Professor Philo, said to be a poet.

She used to be a receptionist in the adventure guild for no reason, and now she came to work as a chef, maybe she was looking for inspiration for her new work?

The only reliable one is Professor Aimo in front of Riber.

Although the Four Corners Society has declined, it is still an organization with more than three-digit members.Moreover, the society will often collect and purchase expensive academic materials, magic books, holy objects, magic tools, etc.

Under the circumstance that the Church of Scourge is so disgusted that it does not provide much activity funds, and most people in the society have no intention of making money, the person who maintains the expenses of the society is the actual leader of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, Aimo.

"If you don't mind, may I ask if there is any connection between you and Ms. Moby?"

After another exchange of pleasantries, Riber asked such a question.

At first, Riber thought the name "Aimo" was nothing.Until I saw Aymo's sharp ears, I felt that everything was wrong.

"Well...my mother is of the same family as Mr. Moby, and they have a good relationship. Therefore, Mr. Moby also took my name."

After deliberating for a while, Aymo said as if to stop.

"I see."

Thinking "Sure enough", Riber sighed secretly.

Obviously, whether it is the atmosphere between gestures, voice, tone, and the skin texture seen through the black veil, they all look very young.But Aimo, who is Moby's niece, must be too old to be mentioned...

Gee.

Speaking of it, unlike Mobina's body shape which is obviously different from ordinary people, Aimo has no obvious characteristics of being a goblin except for pointed ears.And she deliberately only said that her mother was a goblin.So, does that mean she's a half-goblin...er, a half-goblin?

Judging from the fact that she has to cover up her body like this, does it mean that the situation of this kind of demihuman race is not very good in this kingdom?

Just when Riber's thoughts began to diverge, Aimo's voice sounded again.

"Excuse me, according to the rules, is Professor Moby's side able to win with a third-tier adventurer card?"

"Yes."

Riber replied after a rough glance.

Although, the cards are not big.However, as long as the array cards of 80 people compete in the same field can be played, it is already a remarkable thing.

...

No, didn't the previous position belong to a noble lady named Brenda?This Moran and Alice, when did they get involved?

"Ugh..."

Can't help sighing, Riber watched the scene in the arena.

I saw Moran adopting a strange posture as always, with his back turned to the follower who was going to draw cards, and laughed three times in a very blunt and embarrassing manner.

"The power of the demon god residing in my blood is boiling, and I have seen the future of that card!"

what--

Looking at Moran from a distance, Riber just wanted to dig something out with his toes on the ground for her, and then seized the time to drag this embarrassing guy with a loud voice back.

And then, after the cards brought back by the entourage were reversed upwards, something that really made the field boil happened.

That card was the last card that Moran's camp lacked.

In other words, they won.

Immediately, hundreds of people on the sidelines cheered deafeningly.

Moran, on the other hand, couldn't maintain the shameful posture before, and just stared blankly at the card representing her victory, falling into a state of bewilderment.

It wasn't until the participants from her camp swarmed up and threw her high that a presumptuous smile appeared on her face, and she kept shouting, "I said what I saw! I said what I saw!"

Looking at the stadium full of cheers, although Riber was shaking his head, he was obviously infected by the atmosphere of celebration.

Although Professor Moran is not doing his job properly, so what?

She is happy.

Besides, it's not a professor in his academy anyway...

Thinking about it, Riber turned his attention to the field where the "Victory Celebration" is still going on.Then, Moran was seen stepping on the shoulders of a tall man, making a victory declaration in the center of the arena.

And this one who was stepped on, blushed, and proud...

It turned out to be Sebastian.

"..."

Really have you, Sebastian.

Just when Riber didn't know how many times, he was thinking about the time to dismiss the housekeeper who was not doing his job, and after Aimo finished admiring the scenery outside the window, he faced Riber again.

"No wonder the Herald praised 'Array' as an aristocratic sport across the ages. Just seeing the scene after one side's victory, I can feel the enthusiasm of the participants for the sport itself. In just one day, there will be In such a scenario, I can hardly imagine what kind of grand scene the sport will be after it spreads.”

Aymo said with deep emotion.

And although he didn't know what the Herald was, and didn't know if Sebastian invited someone to brag about it, he just nodded silently and accepted Aimo's appreciation.

"May I ask, 'Array' will also be the unique feature of this unnamed restaurant?"

"Ah."

Riber nodded again,

"However, unlike the demon card, the 'Array' is easy to imitate. Even if it is specially engraved with Campret's family crest, it is only a matter of time before it is imitated."

As Riber said.

Even if the counterfeiters took into account the family crest of the Campret family, they changed the name of the "array" and changed all its colors beyond recognition.But as long as the rules remain the same, other things don't affect the core of its gameplay.

Even, if Riber doesn't hurry up, the "Mahjong" that is really close to his previous life may be imitated by profit-seeking businessmen before he releases it.

"It seems that I need to re-evaluate the value of the nameless restaurant."

Aymo said in a slightly contemplative tone, and then asked another question,

"So, is your Excellency the Earl really sure that you want to hand over all the industries related to the nameless restaurant to the Four Corners Society?"
