The reason why the Chaturan family military chess can sweep the entire epic continent is that every game it plays effectively reflects the situation of the real battlefield, just like a real combat exercise.

The invincibility of the cavalry, the siege of the infantry, the destruction of the mage, the indestructibility of the chariot, and the treacherous and changeable of the flying soldiers, the chess pieces of the five arms can conjure up a variety of offensive and defensive tactics.

Mountains, rivers, forests, valleys, and cities, the five terrain chess pieces, plus the choice of blank chess pieces and mage tower chess pieces, the combined complexity of the battle makes all military enthusiasts and conspiracy planners indulge in it and cannot extricate themselves. It is also based on this that all military academies on the mainland have listed Chaturan's military chess as one of the compulsory subjects.

Old Terry gently flipped over his last pawn, and it turned out to be a flying soldier.

Oss knew that he had lost, even if the remaining five cavalry had formed an attack formation, although there was a smooth road between his own cavalry formation and the opponent's throne, all his mage chess pieces had been eaten by Old Terry, and there was no way to stop the opponent's flying soldiers from killing his own throne first.

Oss had no choice but to throw in the towel.

"Little Os, aren't you a little unconvinced? Old Terry quipped as he packed up his chess pieces and saw that Oss was still staring at the board.

"Ahh "No, no, I lost convincingly, I was recalling the great chess skills of the Archon. ”

"In the whole hall, there are only three people who can play the military chess of the Chaturan family, Karl that kid, I can't win against him every time, so I can only bully you, a novice, where do you come from superb chess skills, you can shoot the wrong place. ”

The first consul Old Terry said words of resignation, but that old face was full of smugness, it was true that he had been oppressed by Karl in the chess game for too long, and now he finally found an opponent who could teach him a lesson at will, that kind of physical and mental pleasure, too comfortable.

"I didn't pat you on the back, I mean it sincerely. That is to say, there are too few people in our Holy Punishment Hall who understand the military chess of the Chaturan family, otherwise there will be many people who come to admire your chess game every day. ”

Oss was sincere in his words, without any weakness in his heart, and while slapping his ass, he completely ignored Karl's many negative comments about the First Archon, such as "stinky chess basket" and "no chess products".

"Hahaha, it's over, it's over. Do you want another game?" the Archon was in a happier mood.

"Next time, Lord Archon. I'll have to help the Third Archon as an experimental assistant later, and I don't have enough time left for the next game. "Oss is looking for quite good reasons.

"The old witch is not very good-tempered, and you will be scolded if you go late, so we will continue tomorrow. Also, don't call me Archon in the future, it's too raw, just call me Old Terry, our Holy Punishment Hall doesn't have so many hierarchical rules, isn't your name Xiaoqing just called Second Master Qing, how kind it is. ”

"Then I'll call you Uncle Terry from now on. ”

"Hey, that's good, that's good. The old man laughed and agreed.

"Uncle Terry, I would like to ask you, what is the name of the Third Archon? Oss thought of the old witch's name, and felt that he could not call her to her face.

"She had always called the old witch, and she wouldn't be angry if she called her that, she said that the name was just a code name, and she had forgotten it for too long. So, we don't know her exact name. Old Terry said naturally, it seems that this is the consensus of the Holy Punishment Hall.

"Uncle Terry, it doesn't matter if I bring Ares to the Punishment Hall, right?" Oss was directly brought to the Punishment Hall by a teleportation array from Second Master Qing at that time, and Ares followed Margaret and them on a long journey to pray for a month, and it was not until the day before yesterday that they found Oss.

"It's okay, it's okay, we don't prohibit the entourage in the Holy Punishment Hall. Moreover, that Ares is a little special, and I was going to tell you that I wanted to take him as an apprentice. Old Terry spoke amazingly.

"Special, what's special?" Oss was a little puzzled, Ares was the kind of person who was extremely ordinary, not that he was bad, but according to his own contact and understanding, Ares was a very ordinary person regardless of his talent and behavior.

"Yes, it's special. He has a half-human, half-god physique, and it is not currently reflected in his talent because he has not yet awakened. Old Terry said solemnly.

"Then how do you wake up?" Oss was still very concerned about Ares, after all, he was now his own person.

"Wait until he's bloodthirsty. I suggest you place him in the Colosseum of Caesar, so that he can get used to the blood. Don't worry, I'll let Xiaoqing arrange this matter, he has a good relationship with the owner of the Colosseum, and can guarantee that Ares won't die inside. "It turns out that old Terry has already thought out all the arrangements for Ares.

"Again, I have to ask for his own opinion. Oss thought for a moment and said.

"He is the one who is destined to become the god of war. ”

Old Terry nodded.

"What about me?"

"You really want to know?" said old Terry with a meaningful smile.

"When I didn't ask. He still has this self-knowledge.

Saying goodbye and leaving, Oss walked to the stone house that belonged to the old witch. In addition to copying classics and reading books, he now has to do three things every day, that is, to help the ascetic Paimo sort out the literature, to accompany old Terry to play the Chatulan military chess, and to be an assistant to the old witch who does magic experiments all day and all night.

Arriving at the door, Oss knocked on the door, and when he heard the sound of permission to enter, Oss pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

The old witch didn't lift her head, holding a bottle of red reagent in her right hand, and pointed to a cabinet of magic materials behind her side with her left hand.

Oss understood, stepped forward, and first observed several materials in front of the old witch. Two-headed blood wolf liver powder, Twilight Viper liquid, Nibelon and grass.

It turned out to be a preparation of Nibelon and reagents, but there was still a lack of cobalt blue flowers and the dried skin of the Parvich poison dart frog. Oss hurriedly took it, first extracted a certain amount according to the proportion in his impression, and waited for the old witch to use it.

To be an old witch's assistant, the magic knowledge involved is too complicated, and the extraction of magical materials also requires precise techniques.

In the first few days, Oss was very uncomfortable, and was sneered at by the old witch, but as he gradually became familiar with it, and his original great ability to adapt, he studied hard, and now he finally became a qualified assistant, and the number of taunts changed from always to occasional.

After getting everything ready for the old witch, Oss carefully observed her proportions and concoctions.

Nibelon and reagents are difficult to blend types, the scarcity of raw materials, the secret of the formula, and the difficulty of proportional techniques, all of which determine its difficulties, but at the same time, it also reflects the preciousness of this reagent from another aspect.

It is indeed precious, because the well-known use of the Nibelon and the reagent is to depict forbidden circles above the twentieth order. Another lesser-known use is for drawing seal-like circles. This is what Oss saw from a book called "Ten Uses of Rare Magical Materials".

The old witch was very skillful, and it can be seen that she often concocted these difficult reagents and materials. The preparation went smoothly, and after twenty prayers, a bottle of black-green nibelon and reagent was made.

"There is progress" The old witch complimented Oss once, but before Oss could be happy, she said: "You still have a delay in getting the last two materials, and when you handed the fifth test tube, you took the decontamination test tube at the beginning, right? Sure enough, your memory is as sparse and ordinary as your talent." ”

"I'll pay attention next time and try not to make any mistakes again. Oss smiled wryly.

"Don't feel aggrieved, this time I debugged the Nibelon and reagents are all made for you. ”

Oss asked with a puzzled look, and the old witch asked.

"The magic circle blueprint you handed over to Xiaoqing has something to do with the disappearance of the energy in your body, right?"

"Yes," Oss had no intention of hiding at all.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the old witch nodded. "At the beginning, Xiaoqing and I had the same idea, and we both thought that it was a sealing circle, but later we found that the directivity of many blocks of the circle was not sealing, but balancing, so we thought of an extended sealing circle that had been lost for thousands of years, balancing the sealing circle. ”

The old witch said a little, and then said, "Have you heard of this person Bukharin?"

Oss shook his head, saying no.

Thus, the old witch explained: "According to Bukharin, equilibrium is the essence of the world, the cause of existence, the law of all things, the beginning, process, end, order, and state of things. ”

"It's true, lakes, mountains, forests, animals, etc., everything in the world, will eventually tend to be balanced. Oss agrees with Bukharin's point of view. "This theory can be said to show people a state of origin of the world in a certain aspect, and Bukharin is really a very powerful person. ”

"Bukharin was a Dharma god more than 3,000 years ago, and he and St. Peter were the pinnacle of the same era. When the old witch finished speaking, she glanced at Oss with some inexplicable meaning.

But Oss apparently did not appreciate her deep meaning, but was only amazed by the strength of Bukharin. But even if Oss realized it, what could he do? Many things, for him now, are still a bit foggy. Or to put it another way, being in the game, the deep meaning is too complicated, so it should be more appropriate.

"Then what does he have to do with the disappearance of the energy in my body?" Oss was still more concerned about his own cultivation.

On this basis, Bukharin invented a magic circle, which is similar to the sealing circle, but more advanced than the sealing circle, he has achieved a perfect balance of the three world origin energy, the energy of force, the elemental energy, and the spiritual energy, coexisting with each other, and the lack of one will cause the rest of the energy to cease to exist, and reduce to zero, so as to achieve the sealing effect. In order to break the seal, it is necessary to reach a certain amount of the three source energies in the body and maintain a balance. ”

Oss understood that this was the culprit for all the energy in his body now disappearing and becoming an ordinary person.

"The name of this circle is Bukharin's Balance Sealing Circle!"
