Chapter 286 Frustrated Connor

Connor's life returned to peace again

The atmosphere at Hogwarts in February is cheerful, and at this time in the past, the hot topics in the school usually revolve around the February Quidditch match.

But this year is very different from the past, because there is one thing that distracts the little wizards this year, and that is-the Monster Cup.

The first round of auditions for the [Yōkai Cup] is from January 15th to Easter.

During the Christmas vacation, almost every little wizard signed up for the competition, which turned Hogwarts into a monster card duel castle after returning to school. The atmosphere was very hot and the castle was full of little wizards. The smell of passionate fighting.

Because there are basically no restrictions in the preliminary round, this stage is mainly about hurting each other to gain points, so the little wizards fight whenever they want, for reasons such as ["What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at!"] The resulting battles were countless.

Especially the little lions of Gryffindor, who come to fight with their Slytherin enemies every day. The battlefield between the Lion Court and the Snake Court has been moved to a small chessboard.

In this regard, Connor, who is the guardian of order behind the school, is very pleased that these stupid young people have finally learned to solve problems without fists.

As for the behavior of brushing points during the game, this is actually irrelevant. Because if you are really capable, you can just brush up the points. It just occupies a qualifying spot. There are still a lot of qualifying spots in the first round of auditions. One more and one less will have little impact.

And if you don't have that strength, you will be embarrassed when the second round of the competition is broadcast live around the world. The monster card cannot be played without a certain level of strength (so Connor wisely did not sign up).

Therefore, the results of the first round of auditions will not affect the final competition at all. As long as you are really capable, you will definitely make it to the end, and it will not affect the fairness of the competition.

The more competitions the little wizards have with each other, the deeper they will understand monster cards. The deeper they understand the game, the more flexible they will learn to match decks and adjust lineups...

And if you want to flexibly change the deck... you must have a resource-rich card library...

The final result is that the Lake family's cards have been sold like crazy recently. (manual funny)

Lao Devine has been laughing so hard recently, and his joy can be felt in the daily letters he writes to Connor. He praises Connor, the hands-off shopkeeper who comes up with ideas, to the sky. To sum it up, he probably says: [I Sun Kangna has the qualifications of a great emperor].

Connor was not interested in his grandfather's praises. He failed to experience the joy of his grandfather making a lot of money because Connor didn't like money. He was not interested in money. The only thing that interested Connor was the paper man. and fresh magical knowledge.

And this man who caused a stir in the wizarding world has been depressed recently. There are many reasons. First, Connor's decryption operation failed again. This is really sad news, because it means that there will be a few more chapters ( crossed out).

Connor could no longer extract any useful information from the useless Helena.

Helena was only willing to tell Connor some irrelevant information, but refused to tell the truth about her own story.

Connor was very interested in the story of her love-hate relationship with Bloody Barrow, but when asked about it, she would just use the same excuses she used to lie to children.

[Being impulsively killed by someone who loved him very much] This kind of thing is as ridiculous as [hiding the crown in a hollow tree in the forest].

Bloody Barro doesn't look like a yandere, does he? Hahahaha, male yandere, you want to laugh me to death... Well, as for Slytherin... I guess... I don't have the attributes of a yandere... I guess I don't... (scratches his head)

In short, Connor's treasure hunting journey has come full circle and returned to the starting point again, which means that fresh magical knowledge will not be available in a short time.

The second thing is the Paper Man recently. Bah, it’s because Artoria doesn’t play with Connor very much recently. Although she didn’t play with Connor before, at least she is still a conscientious “servant”. Generally, she doesn’t play with Connor. Will leave Connor's earrings, is always available, and has a great service attitude.

But recently, Artoria has had some very special behaviors. For example, she started saying she was busy, started criticizing Connor, started not contacting Connor, started not caring about festivals, and started not being with Connor.

Connor always couldn't call Artoria. It wasn't that he couldn't call, but that there was no response. Connor hadn't enjoyed the king's lap pillow for a long time, and Artoria's complaints from time to time were no longer in his ears. Not yet. I received thoughtful bed-warming service (never available).

This has caused Connor's recent sleep quality to plummet and his life satisfaction to drop by several percentage points.

But Connor doesn't blame Artoria. It must be because he has been obsessed with treasure hunting recently and ignored Artoria's feelings. Artoria is having a little temper with him! Yes, that must be the case! As long as I play games with her more, it will be fine! It is absolutely impossible for me, Connor, who has the talent of an emperor, to be nt—

"Hahahaha, this is so interesting. Is there more? I still want to hear it."

When Connor walked to the door of the round table conference room in the Room of Requirement, he suddenly heard Artoria's hearty laughter. Connor's eyes widened instantly. He had never heard this from Artoria. A hearty laugh! who is it! Who has done such a thing!

Connor stared angrily and pushed open the door, but what he saw in front of him stunned him.

I saw Arturia wearing a blue and white men's dress, sitting on the conference table in a very chic posture, with a hearty smile that Connor had never seen before, talking and laughing with another person, and this The other person is Alice, whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Ah, no, it’s not that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. It’s because Connor didn’t pay much attention to her (because he was busy hunting for treasure recently). In fact, we still see her every day. Alice showed excellent work ability in the last school monster card competition, so After that, Connor handed over all the tasks that should have belonged to him as the president to Alice. Now she is equivalent to the vice president of the fraternity, and she handles the daily work.

Now Alice is also dealing with the work of the fraternity, which can be seen from the information piled up on her desktop, but what stunned Connor was not this, but that Alice actually had a double ponytail, ah, no , the twin ponytails are nothing. She seems to have changed her hair style for a long time, but she just didn't notice it before. It wasn't this that made Connor stunned. Well, Connor didn't know why he was stunned, probably because he saw it. Two exceptionally bright smiling faces?

That's not right. What's going on with the sense of déjà vu that the noble man in white is teasing the cute little princess? Ah, aren't you two enemies? When did the relationship become so good? Is there something wrong with this?

"Connor!" "Master." The two of them greeted Connor at the same time.

"Ah, hello." Connor came back to his senses, walked over as usual, and said calmly: "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"Haha, I was just telling Leah the story of Merlin. Leah is very interested in this."

"Lilia?" Connor was dumbfounded. I...I have never called him that.

"Hehe, Leah and I resolved a little misunderstanding, and now we are good sisters~" Alice smiled and threw herself into Artoria's arms, rubbing her face against hers.

"Sisters?" Connor's eyes were wide open. I...I have never done this before.

"Don't move!" Arturia helplessly hugged Alice who was moving in her arms, patted Alice's head lovingly, and scolded her softly, then turned to look at Connor, her tone But it was as calm as ever: "Master, why did you come to see us?"

"Me, us?" Connor's eyes were like mosquito-repellent incense, me. Who am I? where am I? What am I going to do?

"It's okay, I...I'm going to play games." Connor left in a daze.

Alice and Artoria looked at each other.

"What's wrong with Connor? Looking at his sloppy steps, is he sick?" Alice asked worriedly.

"I don't know. The master has been busy solving puzzles recently. I deliberately didn't disturb him, so I don't know much about his situation." Artoria shook her head: "But the master is in good health and shouldn't be sick. ."

"Oh, that's good, but Connor still doesn't seem to notice that I changed my hairstyle. What should I do, Leah?"

"Emmmm, I don't understand this very well. I've already been carefully asking for information for you. Take your time, there's no need to rush."

"Okay. By the way, Leah, let me tell you a few more interesting things about the British royal family."

"Okay, okay, I like hearing this."
