Personality V: I will save everything

After all, even if it is a small party, there will be all the necessary entertainment activities besides eating.

However, Holmes never expected that the activities of these non-human beings would be so simple and unpretentious.

.................................................. ........................

Antonio and several other non-humans sat around the table, each with a serious expression on their face, as if they were about to discuss something very important.

Antonio took a deep breath and asked Holmes directly: "Holmes, do you want to arm wrestle with us?"

Holmes stared at Antonio with wide eyes in disbelief, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

First, he was surprised that these non-humans could ask such a seemingly simple yet naive question.

Secondly, he began to wonder if he had heard it wrong, after all, arm wrestling was usually a game played by children.

Holmes could not help but secretly groan in his heart. He really wanted to howl to the sky to express his helplessness and dissatisfaction. You know, when he was five years old, he no longer played childish games like arm wrestling with Miles.

However, facing Antonio and the other non-humans' expectant gazes, Holmes decided to remain polite. He smiled slightly and replied firmly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in this activity."

His refusal was not because he thought the activity was childish, but because he was well aware of his own abilities.

As an ordinary human, how could his strength be compared with that of a group of demons, evil gods and other non-human beings? Even if he tried his best, the result would definitely be a complete defeat.

.................................................. ........................

He asked Holmes and Miles, the only other human present besides himself, to sit next to them and watch them play.

The game is very simple. There is no need to explain the rules, as all the children know them. As for the order, they draw lots to arrange it.

First, Antonio and Alva started the competition......

At the beginning, Antonio and Alva were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who would win.

Andrew was watching the fight from the sidelines, unable to hold back his excitement, and turned to Norton beside him and said, "Who do you think will win this fight?"

Norton replied expressionlessly: "I don't know."

However, in fact, the outcome of this game has nothing to do with the strength of the two sides, but depends on who is weaker.

Let’s look at Antonio first. The power of his hair is truly amazing. Even a single strand of hair can easily lift a carriage.

But therein lies the problem. Arm wrestling relies on the strength of the arms, not the hair!

Antonio has lived in the manor for a long time and has long been accustomed to using his hair to pick up objects, so much so that he uses his arms far less frequently than his hair.

Over time, it became a question whether his arm muscles still existed.

Let alone Alva, a frail researcher whose biggest daily exercise was probably hitting Lucas on the head with his cane.

How could a man like him win a competition that requires strength like arm wrestling?

.................................................. ........................

In the end, Antonio won the game with absolute advantage.

However, when he won the game and looked at Andrew, his eyes made Andrew shudder. It was a look full of oppression and deterrence, as if Antonio had seen through Andrew's inner thoughts.

Andrew suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he began to wonder if Antonio had overheard his conversation with Norton.

After all, Antonio's attention seemed to be completely focused on him in the moments leading up to the match.

Antonio's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He slowly approached Andrew and whispered, "You said I'm weak, right?" His voice was calm, but the power contained in it could not be ignored.

Andrew's face turned pale, and he swallowed nervously, wanting to explain something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.

Antonio didn't give him a chance to explain, and continued: "Don't worry, I will help you experiment in the evening."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Andrew there, his heart full of fear and uneasiness.

Andrew: Pills (╥w╥`)

.................................................. ........................

Next round!

Andrew and Norton compete!

When Norton held Andrew's hand, he couldn't help but feel a little conflicted. He wondered if he should show some mercy.

After all, with his current appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that he will appear to be weak.

Moreover, he was originally a miner, and he had to swing a pickaxe to work every day, so his arm strength was naturally quite strong. So, he began to hesitate whether to give Andrew some water?

However, just as Norton was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his right hand. This sudden pain caught him off guard, and he did not expect such a thing to happen.

At the same time, Andrew showed an overwhelming momentum. He mercilessly pressed Norton's hand on the table.

This game ended too quickly. Not only Norton, but even the audience was stunned.

Did everyone forget that Andreuke is a 1.9-meter-tall burrowing man? How could Norton have the guts to compete with him in strength?

.................................................. ........................

Next, an exciting competition is about to begin, and the protagonists of this competition are Miss Jenny and a non-human being that is unfamiliar to Holmes.

Andrew, who was standing nearby, enthusiastically introduced this mysterious opponent to Holmes. It turned out that this gentleman's name was Lucchino, a name that sounded quite special.

Although Holmes knew nothing about Lucchino, his eyes were always on him. However, to his surprise, from his perspective, Lucchino seemed no different from an ordinary human being.

Perhaps it was because the other party was also disguised as a human, Holmes thought to himself.

Not long after, this fierce competition came to an end. As expected, even in this non-human world, men are still much stronger than women.

This seems to be a universal phenomenon, whether in human society or other races, men tend to have greater physical strength and power.

.................................................. ........................

By the way, there is a non-human being here that Holmes has never met.

It was a woman whose appearance caught Holmes' attention. Through Andrew's introduction, Holmes learned her name - Valletta.

However, it is curious why Miss Valletta did not participate in arm wrestling competitions like everyone else?

Maybe it was because, if she went on the field, the only one who could compete with her would probably be the kid named Robbie.

In this case, the outcome of this game is no longer a foregone conclusion, so it would be better not to make any comparisons.

.................................................. ........................

Then, among the three winners, Antonio and Lucchino had another competition. As expected, Antonio might be stronger than Alva, but he was definitely no match for Lucchino.

Then it’s the competition between Luchino and Andrew~

But in the end, Luchino still won.

.................................................. ........................

(Let me say here that the winners and losers of the competition were actually agreed upon in advance.

First of all, Antonio and Alva both belong to the magic category. So in comparison, Antonio, who wields a bow to hit people, must have more strength than Alva, who wields a staff to cast spells.

As for Norton and Andrew, although Norton underestimated his opponent, everyone discussed it carefully at the time. Elves belong to the light system and should be more effective against evil gods like Norton, so they decided to let Andrew win.

Then came the competition between Lucino and Jack. Everyone deliberately wanted to create a non-human worldview in which women are just vases, but in reality there was a strong sense of contrast, so Jack didn't put in any effort at all and let Lucino win.

As for the later competition between Antonio and Lucchino, it was obvious that Lucchino won. One was good at magic and the other was good at physical skills, so it was obvious who would win.

Finally, it was Luchino and Andrew. Everyone thought about it and decided that Andrew was one of the few people who were pro-human, so he shouldn't be too eccentric.

Because if it's too obvious, it will be troublesome, and the first thing to be affected is that humans will think they are good again, so it's best to pretend to be strong but not the strongest, so Luchino won.)

.................................................. ........................

In the end, Holmes found that apart from the arm wrestling activity from which he could obtain some useful information, everything else was extremely boring!

All they did next was play Gobang, and then jump around aimlessly to the blaring music.

However, it is this seemingly boring activity that gives Holmes a new understanding of these "non-humans". Although their appearance is very different from that of humans, they are surprisingly similar to humans in terms of character and behavior.

They also have their own joys and sorrows, they will be happy because of some small things, and they will be upset because of some unsatisfactory things. They will be silly, play weird, and sometimes even be willful like children.

This made Holmes sigh that these "non-humans" might not be so difficult to understand, and they had the same emotions and needs as humans.

.................................................. ........................

Then.........

Then it was the next morning......

Holmes had no idea how he fell asleep yesterday. It seemed that at the invitation of Miss Jenny, Miss Violetta and the children, he told them stories about his previous work of reasoning and solving cases.

Holmes had no memory of what happened next, but judging from the results, he seemed to have fallen asleep in the reception room of the Golden Rose Theatre.

The two young ladies and the children slept on the sofa next to Holmes. They snuggled up to each other and looked like ordinary parents and children.

.................................................. ........................

"Well, Mr. Holmes, are you awake yet?"

As Holmes tiptoed out of the drawing-room like a cat and carefully closed the door, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

He turned around suddenly and was surprised to find that Andrew was also standing there. He looked energetic and did not look like he had just woken up at all.

“Oh, good morning, Andrew,” said Holmes, smiling, and trying to keep his voice calm. “I am very sorry that I have stayed up so late in conversation with the ladies.”

He did not ask Andrew why he also got up so early, because he knew very well that as an elf, Andrew lived a life completely different from that of humans.

The elves follow the laws of nature, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, so he must have fallen asleep very early last night.

Holmes looked past Andrew and glanced at the lobby of the Golden Rose Theatre.

Sure enough, as he expected, there were many non-humans lying in all directions in the hall. Some of them were leaning on the sofa, some were curled up on the floor, and some were even lying directly on the stage.

"It seems that everyone really played very late last night."
