What do you mean to have the best of both worlds?

At least for Chen Duyun now, staying is the best of both worlds.

No one has to die, that's the best outcome.

Life is precious.

That's fine.

……

"Are you the god of the Star Country?" asked Chen Duyun.

"There is progress. Barto nodded approvingly, "You go black first." ”

Chen Duyun released the alpha dog without hesitation, the reason why he asked this was not because the other party seemed to be confident in Go, but because he felt the incredible magic contained in the wooden chessboard, and then he felt it carefully, and found that the chessboard and this world were integrated.

In other words, every move they make next will affect the present world...... Such an ability, if it is not an illusion, then only the possibility that the other party is a magician above the strong is left.

Although his mood was not calm, Chen Duyun's ability to use it had improved these days, and with his emperor-level skills, he sensed that this person was above the strong.

But that's not the point, the point is that the other party told him frankly that the cause of everything is himself.

"Are you trying to enlighten me? Is it really good to do this? I'm your enemy. ”

"Don't ask why, ask what you want to do. Instead of looking up, Barto watched the game intently, "Moreover, distraction is the main factor in defeat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha told Chen Duyun that he was already going to lose this game. They played "second chess", which was faster than ordinary rapid chess, and the winner was quickly decided...... Of course, this was proposed by the anxious Chen Duyun.

"It's okay, come back until you win. Barto let out a bold and provocative statement.

The chess game was opened again, and Chen Duyun decisively used all his magic power in computing, just like when Liu Tian played chess with himself, the spirit body operation reached the limit and was assisted by the human body, in short, one core is not enough, and two cores are made up!

He hadn't forgotten what he had realized when he was promoted to the emperor level by Liu Tian's suggestion, but the reality was difficult to use, or it wasn't enough magic to perform...... But in Go, it's fine.

Then, this game - Chen Duyun lost again.

"How is that possible?"

He has already used his maximum computing power, so he can't win, is the other party a magic intelligent lifeform that surpasses the Alpha Dog?!

Bato didn't say anything, he was waiting quietly, Chen Duyun quickly reacted, he was the only one who was really anxious, but the more anxious he was, the less chance he had to win.

"Let's go slower. ”

So, in the next six hours, he lost three more rounds.

"Why don't you go to the end?" asked Bato at the end of the third game, which had taken three hours to think.

"I've already lost. "Chen Duyun is not a person who likes to play tricks on Go, so he said it simply.

"Really, won't you allow me to make a mistake after this?" Barto chuckled.

Chen Duyun was speechless and silently started the chess game again. This time, after nine hours of fighting, Chen Duyun finally lost the game at noon the next day.

Of course, they made it to the end.

"Are you stalling for time?" said that the good mistake did not appear at all, and no matter how good Chen Duyun's attitude towards the victory or defeat of Go was, he couldn't help it.

"Then let's go to the next game. ”

Barto's face was not shocked, and Chen Duyun looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the troops who had been ordered to stand by had long since disappeared, so he had to devote himself to the chess game again.

With his ability, he couldn't help Bato at all, and the other party didn't kill him like an ant, and gave him the possibility of escaping - even if it was a lie, even if he couldn't win at all, he had to continue to believe and continue to fight.

Even if the heavens are teasing you, as long as you still have a breath, you must continue to fight, just for the miracle of winning the sky!

The game continues, the defeat continues, I don't know if it is the particularity of this land, Chen Duyun does not feel a trace of tiredness, but also does not have a trace of joy, and despair and sadness also disappear in the passage of time, turning into confusion.

"Commander Barto, was you like that back then?"

He asked Bartow unconsciously.

"No, I'm never confused. ”

"How is that possible?"

Chen Duyun didn't believe it.

The system of each region will record the history of the region, but as far as the "historical records" branch system of the land of China is concerned, the unknown people will not be recorded, most of the people and deeds that are not famous enough will be mentioned in a single stroke, and the unknown deeds of the famous people will also be ignored, so there are people spontaneous historians who compile detailed records that may be wild history or real history.

But the first hundred years, the hundred years when magic fought against the old era, even the oldest land of Middle-earth, there is no historical record left.

And the system, there is only one sentence left.

"The magician has won. ”

In a time when it was too difficult to leave any historical records, the lives of magicians and ordinary people were extremely miserable just by thinking about it.

Not to mention Barto's joy when he hears that magic has become widespread...... Living in that era, how could you not despair, how could you not be confused.

How could there be no regrets!

"Nothing is impossible, I'm a magician, so I'm never confused. Barto smiled confidently again.

It was precisely because he recognized that it was not a false emotion that Chen Duyun was even more confused.

"Why?"

"What do you think of us in the future, can you tell me?"

Because there was only one sentence left by the system, Chen Duyun quickly answered him.

Then, Bartow laughed.

"Wrong, wrong, it's so black, we're so black...... Listen, young man, it was not the magicians who triumphed, it was the magicians who triumphed, it was the people who believed in magic who triumphed. ”

"What's the difference?" Chen Duyun, who lived in an era where everyone was a magician, couldn't understand this for a while.

"Of course it's different, what is magic, what is the nature of magic? Don't tell me that even this has changed. ”

"Change the phenomenon and go back to the source. ”

Chen Duyun gave a textbook answer.

"Wrong, very wrong, that's the principle of magic, it's the same thing as the laws of science, it's just an objective law, not the real essence!"

Bartow got angry for the first time.

"True magic is a pursuit, because I want to do it, I want to get that result, so I pursue it, and what helps me achieve what I want is magic!"

Chen Duyun was completely stunned.

"This ...... How does it sound like ideal?"

"If it were me, I would prefer to call it a dream. But that's not magic, it's more than that, to be precise. Barto raised his head and looked at the sea of stars, "I have a dream and want to turn it into reality, so I ran, keep running, keep moving forward, even if I fall, that persistence, that belief, that will, is still moving forward until the end of the dream!"

Chen Duyun couldn't understand something, and could only explain it in terms of what he could understand.

"Isn't this the phenomenon of change? Because I want to, I change the world, and the origin is 'I think'. ”

"Don't you understand? What you're talking about isn't the essence, or rather, if you want to achieve your dreams, the most important thing is how much you want to do it!"

Bartow looked into the distance.

"I've never been confused, because my eyes have always been on the end, the twists and turns on the road such as defeat and death don't matter, people who chase magic never need to be afraid of the process!"

Chen Duyun was stunned, from the day he came into contact with magic, his teacher and family told him that magic was something that did not need to focus on the process.

But are "not paying attention" and "ignoring" really the cause of magic reaching cause and effect?

Can you really ignore what really exists?

The answer is no.

Not "ignoring", but "fearless".

Magic was born to break the rules of the old era, and since the moment it was born, it has been broken by itself again and again, and it has continued to improve.

Just to get to the end.

"You're stuck here now because you can't tell what you want!"

Chen Duyun understood.

He wanted so much that he was lost about it.

But will he be confused by something, is it really what he craves?

"Go ahead. ”

Bartow sat back down, ready to play again.

Chen Duyun sat down, this time it was him who held the black, but he didn't fall immediately, but stared at Bartow tightly, for a long time-

"You are not God. ”

The first hand of Tian Yuan, and then Chen Duyun left this place.

……

I don't know when Atu's squadron was separated from other teams, and then after half a day, no one in the same squadron could be seen.

When Chen Duyun finds him, he finds Ah Tu doing laundry—the white robe that used to be the team's emblem, to be exact.

After so many spells, the conspicuous magic that had been applied before had long since dissipated, and the blood and dust of the enemy had been stained again and again, but before each battle, Chen Duyun could always see the new white robe fluttering behind his subordinates.

"Why?"

Seeing Chen Duyun, Ah Tu was naturally very happy, and of course there was no need to hide the problem of this military master.

"Because I feel very accomplished by this thing. ”

"A sense of accomplishment?"

"Yes, didn't we put it on to lure the enemy? We completed that task, how can it be regarded as a credit? Then, I want to make more contributions, as soon as I see this robe and recall the joy of the beginning, I am more motivated. ”

"Is that what everybody thinks?"

"I can't guarantee that they're all the same as me, but they must be carrying something to keep wearing them, right?"

Chen Duyun patted him on the shoulder.

"Do you think our Great Song can win?"

"Lord, it's not that you can win, but you have to win, at least that's what I hope. Ah Tu's eyes flickered slightly, "It's okay not to win, I can't leave the stigma to the next generation...... I'm sorry, Master, I shouldn't have said that. ”

"It's okay, there's no shame in craving honor. ”

Chen Duyun set off with Ah Tu, and as he said, everyone had different reasons, and maybe they could block the attack.

"Don't mention the defensive power of the robes, what about after you block it?" Chen Duyun asked.

The soldier's face suddenly turned hideous.

"I'm going to chop that bastard to pieces with my backhand!"

……

Why did it become a pawn and not be able to win?

Because you treat other chess pieces as chess pieces, you just think that you have become a chess piece, and you don't really put down your body and blend into it.

Is this the way to win the sky?

You need to be clear that without other pieces, you simply can't make it to the end.

What are the chess pieces thinking? What do they want?

There is a chess player in black and white, and no matter what you compare a chess player to, you have only one chess player, and there is only one hostile chess player.

……

"Coming out?"

Finally leaving the confines of the Star Country, Chen Duyun couldn't help but burst into deafening cheers.

Chen Duyun walked to the front of the group.

"Everyone, believe me, our Great Song Dynasty will definitely win this war, definitely!"

"Da Song will win!"

Thinking that Chen Duyun was just boosting morale, the soldiers responded one after another.

But they didn't know that it was what Chen Duyun longed for at the moment.

As for the most desired thing?

Looking at the seven thousand six hundred and thirty-four people in front of him, Chen Duyun said in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'll take you back, along with the hope of victory!"

……

Chen Duyun's army set off, and they all wanted to leave this land as soon as possible for the rest of their lives, and the idea of deterring Gu Meng by suppressing the Star Country had long been forgotten.

But Chen Duyun was not afraid, even if-

"One of the Twelve Star Generals...... Is it?"

He was not afraid, because he had the magic to win.
