Chapter 5: A Man's Chessboard

People are born lonely, but there is no one to accompany them, at least you still have a chessboard, because with a chessboard, you can, but all the people who are playing chess have never realized that the world is vast, and the so-called chess players may be just chess pieces on the chessboard of heaven and earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the night was deep, the silent woods were bustling with people coming. Tang Meng and Eric chatted about the continent in the camp.

In fact, Cecia had already passed on all the knowledge of this continent to Tang Meng. But he was there to verify something.

For example, what is the meaning of this continent, which is called the blessing of the gods? It is recognized in the Gaubriz scholarly community that the gods created this world and gave protection and strength to the various races to survive and thrive. Tang Meng learned from Eric that the so-called gods here are exactly the same as the Greek gods in the other world, but at the same time there are other gods. And the demons also have gods of faith, Hades, the king of Hades, and Satan, the demon king.

This made Tang Meng very emotional: Did the origin of each world start from the same theology? Do the divine realm and the demon realm exist in each world?

"Brother Tang Meng, why did you ask so much about the gods?" Eric couldn't help but ask when he saw Tang Meng lost his thoughts.

"It's okay, I'm just interested in the gods of this continent. Besides, I don't know what gods you believe in?" Tang Meng asked rhetorically.

"We are the Wood family, pronounced from wood, which means wood, wood. Therefore, we have always believed in the great god of the forest, Satyros, who was half man and half beast, but he was indeed a great musician. He can stop the flow of the river in the forest, listen to his music!" Eric said, his face a little proud, then darkened again, and said in a low voice, "But the blessings of the gods are a thing of the past. The folk are crazy and spread that the gods no longer protect us. In the war of rebellion of the Raging Legion, as you know, the gods did not come to their aid, let alone send down the oracle of instructions. ”

After Tang Meng heard Eric's words, his eyes lit up, and then he retracted his edge, pretending to be joking: "Maybe the gods are in some trouble?"

Eric whispered, "Actually, by now, many people say that the gods have died. ”

His voice was so low and his expression was very sad. Tang Meng thought to himself: Maybe for a continent where all people have faith, the most terrible thing is that the things of faith do not exist, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Shall we go get something to eat?" said Eric, his stomach growling at the right time.

Tang Meng answered, and watched Eric change positions with another young scout, and they walked towards a fire together.

"Yo, Eric, you're coming to dinner and bringing a strange face?"

"Damn, why do I think the kid next to you is weird?"

It seems that these people are acquaintances with Eric, and they greet Eric warmly, and a young-faced mercenary feels that he has a meal for Eric and Tang Meng, and it seems that Eric, a veteran, still has a certain reputation here.

Tang Meng served the meal that was already a little cold, in fact, this was the best treatment for mercenaries. It is impossible for every mercenary to carry a large amount of rice on the road, and the caravan naturally does not. This is because the caravan has only been on the road for a few days, so there is still rice to eat. Usually they are accustomed to cold buckwheat steamed buns with jerky. I have to say that the merchant Kreel is still very generous in raising people.

"What is your name, young man?" asked a mercenary, who was not tall but stocky, with a hairy hair and a beard. This is the question that all those around the fire want to ask, and for this person to ask it proves that his authority is not low.

Tang Meng knew that he had to spend some time with them next, so he had to have a good interpersonal relationship with them, at least not too stiff.

"My name is Tang Meng, and I am from the Huaxia tribe in the Eastern Continent. Tang Meng said.

"Oh, you're a young man from the Eastern Continent. My name is Carol Ferry. Look at you, although you look thin, your eyes are good. He is a man who can cross the sea!" Carol gave Tang Meng a thumbs up.

"Well, thanks for the compliment. Tang Meng said perfunctorily, he didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, because he really couldn't cross the sea, he couldn't even swim.

"Why did you think to come to the Western Continent?" asked Carroll again.

Regarding this issue, Tang Meng also thought about it for a long time, he felt that it was naturally very suspicious to come here to enjoy the scenery of the West, and it was not long before the war was temporarily over, and this was obviously not a good time to travel.

Tang Meng said slowly in a sad and deep voice: "Clash of Tribes, I escaped, I have nowhere to go, I came here. ”

After speaking, he stopped speaking, and the concise and sad words made the atmosphere a little heavy. Tang Meng's arrogant and just the right amount of faint sadness made these words accepted by the mercenaries, because everyone's expressions still changed significantly.

"Brother, I see. Your story seems to be very deep. Forgive my brother for asking you this sad question. Eric said apologetically and motioned for Carol to say something.

"Well, I'm sorry I didn't know that was the case, and don't be too sad. I'm your friend here, so let's eat first. Carol's eyes flashed with tears, comforting Tang Meng.

It seems that this man should be a lover of personality. Tang Meng thought while eating the rice and the pork in the pot. A large group of mercenaries looked at Tang Meng with sad eyes, which made him have to speed up his meal, and then felt that he had found an excuse to say goodbye to these mercenaries, so that Tang Meng was slightly relieved, after all, it was not good to deceive people. Eric didn't come with him because he hadn't finished eating.

"Hey, has the master learned to deceive people?" Lisi said in Tang Meng's mind.

Tang Meng looked embarrassed and had nothing to say.

"I'm going to rest again, I'm not with my master, I hope my master won't learn badly, yawn. Lisy spoke in a lower voice, and then, as if sleepy, stopped talking.

Tang Meng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he stroked the contract ring, and the light emitted by the angel wings slowly dissipated at this moment, but Tang Meng found that he didn't know where to go.

There were a few people around, but Tang Meng found a small figure squatting in the open area, fiddling with something by the moonlight. Tang Meng wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly remembered something and quietly stepped forward to look. Because this figure posture is very similar to the posture of Cecia at the beginning.

Tang Meng leaned up to take a look, and couldn't help but wonder. Because this little girl is playing chess, it's tic-tac-toe. It is very much in line with the simple chess played by children, but the appearance on this continent made Tang Meng a little surprised.

The little girl felt that there was someone behind her, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Tang Meng. Tang Meng greeted the moonlight and saw the little girl's face covered with mud, and even her fingernails were muddy. But while the mud covered most of her face, it couldn't cover her fair complexion, and her blonde hair no longer shone because she hadn't washed it for too long, but a pair of big eyes looked at Tang Meng calmly and majestically, and it turned out to be purple pupils, and there was a deep feeling in her eyes, like a purple vortex about to suck people in!

In short, from a distance, people might think she was a little beggar or something, and would not want to go near her. But when Tang Meng really approached her, he would find that she had a kind of beauty. Even if she was covered in dirt, she couldn't hide it. Maybe Tang Meng's eyes were too good, and this little girl's little disguise was easily seen through by him.

"Who are you, why do you have to dress like this?" Tang Meng asked calmly, he always exposed other people's disguises so mercilessly.

"It doesn't matter what my name is. Sometimes people are too smart, but they don't need to be sharp. She used a childish voice, but she spoke calmly, like a scholar. But the eyes are very scattered.

"Then can you at least ask what you're doing?" Tang Meng said, and at the same time secretly felt that he was a little out of shape, perhaps because this little girl felt too unusual for him.

"As you can see, I'm playing chess. The little girl's tone was still calm.

Tang Meng found out about this tic-tac-toe chess, so he played three hands, and the oblique order was two circles sandwiched by a fork. But the strange thing is that this board is a bit big for tic-tac-toe.

"My name is Tang Meng, and I'm sorry to interrupt me. Don't you know where to go? Do you want me to teach you? Tang Meng said his name as a gesture of friendship. But he was curious, this little girl should have been squatting here for some time, and this simple tic-tac-toe should not be so difficult to play.

The little girl's scattered eyes condensed into one place, staring at Tang Meng, and suddenly she turned around and lowered her head, pointed to the fork and circle of the chessboard in turn, and asked Tang Meng: "This fork represents the desperate land de Spilt, the big circle on the top represents the Raging Legion, and the small circle on the bottom represents our Gobris." The cross box represents the battle line, may I ask Mr. Tang Meng, how do you play this game of chess?"

The little girl's cold voice was like a cold wind, which made Tang Meng feel cold. He gasped and carefully looked at this person's chessboard, and found that there were some dense unknown symbols, coiled next to the two circles.

"Or Mr. Tang Meng, please tell me, when will this game of chess end?" the little girl stood up, looked up at Tang Meng with a small face and asked softly.
