In the silence of the night, Blackie excitedly followed the source of the scent and eventually went around behind the shadow of a boulder. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But I didn't want a black figure to appear in the shadows.

The figure seemed to have used some special magic, it was as hazy as a black mist, and it was impossible to see the face, even though the orange fire on the edge of Xiao Hei's body slightly illuminated the corner, but the black figure was still blurry.

I don't know why, after seeing this figure, the always timid black fire didn't run away immediately, but floated in the air with some hesitation and looked at the hazy figure in front of him, his dark red mouth swallowed the air one by one, and in addition to fear and curiosity, there was a trace of longing in the dark green eyes, as if the figure had some inexplicable temptation to it.

And the hazy figure seemed to be looking at the black fire, and it could be seen that his face was facing the floating little black, and there was no other movement for a while.

After a while, the fear in Xiao Hei's heart finally overcame the curiosity, and it slowly drifted back, then turned around and flew in the direction it came from, wanting to hurry back to the boy.

But all at once, it hit a transparent wall.

It turned to look at the black figure in a panic, and was horrified to find that the figure had stretched out its arms and grabbed at it.

Xiao Hei even split himself into wisps of flames and scattered them around, but every strand of flame was blocked, and not a single ray of flame managed to escape from this cage. The flames eventually flew back and gathered into black flames, and it seemed that the movement just now was quite laborious, and its two small eyes looked a little wilted.

As the figure's arm approached, a red cube that separated the space appeared, and Xiao Hei was locked in it at once.

I don't know what this smooth black cube is like a mirror, the black fire that was locked in it suddenly weakened, his eyes were dim, and the flames around him became weaker and weaker, as if they were about to be extinguished.

The mysterious figure didn't seem to expect the red cube to make Xiao Hei like this, and after a while, the red cube disappeared, and Xiao Hei was released again, floating in the air and recovering quickly.

And the figure opened his right hand and grabbed it with five fingers, trying to grasp the black fire in his hand.

Xiao Hei, who recovered, was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and in a hurry, he directly used a half-baked [Mirror Shadow Technique], and found several black phantoms around him, and the figure seemed to have not expected Xiao Hei to use magic, and his movements paused slightly in shock.

Xiao Hei seized the opportunity, and his slender arm wrapped around the figure's wrist at once.

I saw that the black figure was like being bitten by a poisonous snake, hurriedly and violently shaking his arm, trying to break free of Xiao Hei's arm, the panicked figure seemed to be very jealous of Xiao Hei, and did not dare to use his other hand to grab it, just wanted to quickly shake it off with his strength. But for some reason, Xiao Hei's slender flame arm obviously didn't have much strength, but it could wrap around the figure's wrist to the death, and no matter how hard it struggled, it wouldn't let go at all.

The figure seemed to give up his right hand in desperation, and a silver thread flashed, and the wrist entangled by Xiao Hei fell off the figure and turned into a small gray air mass.

The gray air mass was wrapped around Xiao Hei's arm, and it was still struggling and squirming, but the black fire opened its dark red mouth wide and swallowed it in one bite.

Seeing this scene, the figure had no intention of arresting Xiao Hei again, and with a push of his left arm, he pushed the black fire far into the bushes, and he shook himself in place for a while, and then disappeared from the shadow behind the boulder.

In a daze, Blackie didn't find his way back to the Tree of Life until dawn, and by the time he got back to the boy, he had been awake for a long time, and Aeno had already gone to class. Xiao Hei hurriedly tweeted to the boy how terrible things he had encountered in the forest.

"Will spit out...... Slender animal ...... of bubbles It's supposed to be a bubble snake," Morin was wrapped in gum, tilting his head sideways to make sense of Black's gestures and various "chirps," "and ...... I want to catch him, but, it's very ...... Delicious people?...... you still eat his hands?!"

The boy was startled, and then reacted that it should be Xiao Hei playing in the forest at night, and was somehow startled by a passing student, and the timid black fire is very good-looking, so he made up a bizarre story to end with "I ate the man's right hand", I have to say, Xiao Hei's imagination is getting richer and richer.

It's just that this story is too outrageous, and he uses the act of "eating other people's right hands" to show his bravery, it seems that he can educate Xiao Hei well when he has time, and as an elemental creature, he must form a correct concept.

He patted Blackie's body to show that he believed what it said, and motioned for it to bring the package from the corner.

After waking up this morning, the boy found that his arm, which was not wrapped in gum, was already able to move, and now he had nothing to do lying here, just tidying up his package.

Xiao Hei floated to the big brown wrapper, pulled it with his slender arm, felt that the wrapping did not move at all, and used a [levitation technique] to move the package to Merlin's side.

"Hey, Xiao Hei, how do you feel that your levitation technique has become more powerful?" The young man was taken aback, in the past, Xiao Hei still needed to make a gesture when he cast the [Levitation Technique], but now he didn't have any casting action at all, and the huge package was moved to his side, which was quite a feeling of lifting weight.

"Chirp...... Chirp......" explained Black.

"Okay, okay, I know, you ate someone else's hand so it became powerful, I believe it, can't I~" The boy said and flipped through his package, thinking about the materials and gestures he needed to cast his own magic, and couldn't help but think angrily, when he would also find something like "bear paw" to eat.

"Hmm...... The musket that my grandfather left me hadn't used in a long time," the boy looked at the package, "and this is it...... The stone that Xiao Hei hid was no wonder it was so heavy, and there were spare clothes, hey, this is ......"

Merlin pulled out a boxy, silver-gray metal box with several raised keys on the surface, and gold ornaments and the coat of arms of the Callander family engraved on the side: a dark blue violent bear.

The boy remembered that this was a gift from Daddy Pike when he left home to go to school, saying that it was called "War Chess Cards" or something, and that he would only open the box when he had enough mental strength.

He pressed the button, and when he saw that the card box didn't respond, he probed a trace of spiritual power into it, and sure enough, he found a special keyhole that could only be opened by spiritual power.

"Click. The lid popped up, revealing a neat, thick stack of strange cards inside the metal box.

The material of this card is similar to that of magic cards, and it is also a thin crystal piece, but those spell models on the surface have become all kinds of pictures, and the boy randomly pulled out one, and saw that the picture on the card was a human soldier, holding a spear, wearing armor, and was doing a stabbing motion diagonally upward, majestic, with a distant and majestic fortress in the background, and a golden-blue griffin flag fluttering in the wind over the fortress's corner fort.

The name of this card is [Spearman], and there is no text on the card other than pictures, but as Merlin touches it, more information floods into his mind:

Card Name: [Spearman], Card Type: [Soldier Card], Combat Ability: [Ten]

Race: [Human], Class Level: [First Sequence], Class Perk: [Piercing] [Phalanx]......

In addition to the introduction of the items, there is also a specific introduction:

Spearmen, belonging to the first sequence of the human national army (the average individual ability of soldiers is equivalent to a first-order warrior) troops, are more common, characterized by phalanx combat, have an advantage against cavalry units, are not good at fighting long-range troops, suffer large losses when encountering long-distance strikes, have ordinary movement speed, and are often combined with [Shield Guard] and [Archer]......

As if it seemed interesting, Merlin drew a few more cards and looked at the names, [Elven Archer], [Life Sacrifice], and [Defense Enchantment: Basic].

It seems that this "war chess card" is used to simulate war, and the names of the cards are all troops of various races, as well as some magic and enchantments, and even some cards called [Ice Magic Tower], which seem to include common defensive and offensive facilities and machinery, in addition, there are many resources and supply cards.

It seems to be all-encompassing, and in addition to the endless entries and attributes of each card, there are also large paragraphs of text descriptions, and sometimes some historical allusions and battle examples, which is complicated but interesting to read.

Morin read them one by one as a storybook, Xiao Hei was not interested in it, and he didn't sleep all night, and when he became sleepy, he turned into wisps of flame and went back to sleep in the ring mark.

"Morin, so you also play chess cards?" Tilna's voice came.

During the day, several of the other members of the group had lessons, and Vesdemonic came to accompany Merlin, who happened to see him fiddling with the cards.

"Huh, can you play with this?" Morin shook his head: "This is what my dad gave me, I haven't opened it before, can I play with this thing?"

"You don't know yet, it's okay, then I'll teach you!" said Tierna, with a rare look of excitement on her face, as she seemed to like the thing called "War Chess Cards".

"The battle chess card was actually originally a kind of magic item used by the command academy to teach, through some special magic enchantment venues, it can very realistically simulate the big and small battles and wars, as small as the conflict of a few small teams, and the duel of tens of thousands of legions, can be simulated with war chess cards. ”

Tierna introduced: "The students of the Command Academy used this card to simulate war duels to compete against the level of command, and then it slowly spread and became a popular game, but usually we don't have such a complicated enchantment field, we can only choose a small level of the army, and the rules are relatively simple." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the boy's card box and skillfully pressed a few buttons, and the card box was actually spread out and flattened, turning into a large metal plate, on which some magic paths were also depicted. Then the Vesdemonic Spirit found a similar card box out of nowhere, spread it out and spliced it with the previous metal plate, turning it into a large metal plate.

Then she inserted a magic crystal card, and the metal plate lit up, and a large mountain area appeared, as majestic as a volley overlooking the earth.

Noticing that the young man's gaze was full of sluggishness when he looked at him, Tilna showed an embarrassed expression: "I haven't been able to touch the Sea of Magic for several years before, and I have passed all the other courses in the first grade, so I don't have much to do. ”

"Why don't we have a game first, you first put your stack of war chess cards in the groove on your side, and we'll show you the rules while we play......"

……

Before I knew it, a whole day had passed, not to mention, this war chess card was really interesting to play, Morin thought, playing as if he was a commander on the battlefield, trying to win the war with his opponents, summoning soldiers on the field through those cards, and then directing them to fight with mental connection.

But it's not a good experience to lose all the time......

Although the boy learned very quickly, he basically understood the rules in less than half a morning, and in order to follow Morin, a novice, Tilna's choice of battle was not large, but Morin just couldn't win.

Obviously, a team of [spearmen] with the same combat ability value, under the command of Morin, could not defeat the team under the command of Tilna, and not only could not be defeated, it was simply a massacre, and somehow the young man was scattered in formation and then annihilated.

At first, the Vesdemonic Spirit took care of the boy's feelings, and basically chose the same combat ability value of the unit to fight with the boy, but then probably felt that it was not interesting, and the size of the unit chosen by Tilna became smaller and smaller, but it was still able to win the battle every time.

After being annihilated by Tilna again with less and more fights, the resurrected spear soldiers actually began to accuse the young man of having a problem with his command, and said that he had been invincible under the command of Baron Pike before, and that all the other summoned soldiers fled without a fight, and when they reached the hands of Morin, they were so weak that they were simply corrupted, but they made the boy angry enough.

Merlin thought depressedly, Tilna was usually quite gentle, and when she played this war chess, it was like a different person, and the troops under her command collided with her command, like sheep hitting wolves, and they were wiped out in a short time.

And she still uses the cards she borrowed from herself.

Morin had also looked at Tilna's own war chess cards before, most of the troops were biased towards various mechanical golems, and there were also many military units of the dwarven race, and the set of cards that the boy himself obtained from Baron Callander was mostly human and elven troops.

Presumably, Tilna commanded the puppet forces she used to be much more powerful.

"You've learned so fast. Seeing that Mo Lin was a little frustrated, Vis Demon Spirit hurriedly comforted: "Simulated war chess is a very complex 'game', and it can even be said to be a very esoteric knowledge, but it is not something that can be familiar overnight, don't be frustrated." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Although you didn't notice it yourself, I can feel that your progress in the past half a day is actually very great, I don't believe that if you play with Marcus at night, he should also play war chess cards." ”

"What are you playing?" came Marcas's voice.

It was late in the evening, and he, Barron, and Aeno had just finished their basic combat lessons, when they came to visit the boy with a few bulging bags.

"Hey, so you're playing simulated chess!" Marcas said excitedly.
