Chapter 65: Magic Chess
The negotiations between Donald and Charis ended before the night officially fell, with the former leaving the door of the Talos family's villa with a bright smile on his face.
That night, Donald reconvened everyone on his team.
"I'm going to leave for Kosholman tomorrow morning, and I'll leave it to you for the rest of the day. ”
Fingertips tapped the armrests of the seat in a certain rhythm, and Donald whispered with a slight squint.
"Tomorrow morning...... In such a hurry?"
Anthony, who was helping Julia peel nuts, heard Donald's words, and subconsciously frowned and asked,
"Because of what the Chosen One told you? ”
The expressions on the faces of Stephanie and the others were not much different from Anthony's, you must know that according to Donald's previous arrangement, he was going to leave Renas after perfecting the "Frost Sorrow Plan" as much as possible, but now he chatted with a Chosen One who came out of nowhere, and actually advanced the trip so much.
"Well, this time I set off early, not just because of the wizarding convention, but because there are some things I have to verify...... It would be troublesome if what Charis told me was true, and the importance of our current plan would have to be relegated to the back burner...... In short, you can't let it go. ”
Donald didn't say anything about what he was going to do next, but Huxley and Victor were also on his team, but it was limited to sharing some ordinary inside information.
On the other hand, it's because Donald himself doesn't quite understand what the situation is at the moment, and he really doesn't know where to start.
The information given by Charis was already quite clear to her, after all, she thought that the previous conversation was based on the fact that both parties knew a certain amount of information and communicated with the other Chosen One.
However, the truth is that Donald is just a name, and most of the time he is silent and listens to the other party.
And that's why he's determined to leave behind a lot of important things and move ahead of them.
"After I'm gone, the Frost Grief plan will continue as usual, be careful not to make too much of a disturbance, the later we intervene, the better, let those strangers or others who are pursuing treasures fight first, and finally close the net, collect as many fighting talents as possible, I will hand over the key to the family warehouse to Mu Lin for safekeeping, if you have any financial or other needs, you can talk to Cecilia first, she will inform Mu Lin. ”
Donald said as he handed a bunch of keys to Lilo in front of everyone.
Why give it to Mullene, aka Lilo?
The reason is very simple, except for her and Cecilia for a period of time, the rest of the team will be very busy, there are too many things to be responsible for, and it will be troublesome to run around and rush back and forth, and Cecilia and Lilo do not have any special tasks, they will stay in the family villa as a backup.
And of the two, Cecilia is slightly weaker, and handing over the key to her is easy to cause her trouble, and the best option is obvious.
"You're not going to take Mullin with you?"
In Stephanie's impression, since returning from Red Cliffs, Lilo has been almost like Finger, and she has gone wherever Donald goes, even if there is an occasional time of separation, it will not last more than a day.
"Reynas needs a strong man to hide in the shadows, and after I'm gone, Huxley alone won't be enough...... No one knows if someone like Charis will reappear, so you have to be on guard. ”
Taking a sip of bitter coffee, Donald groaned for a moment and continued,
"Actually, I'm only going to take Finger with me this time, and you're all going to stay in Renas, it's our hard-earned base camp, and I don't want to come back and see any surprises on our path. ”
This was the result of Donald's thinking, and none of Stephanie and the others could leave Renas for a short time.
In his heart, Donald still doesn't trust Huxley and Victor, although he has absorbed them into his team, but if he really wants to completely delegate authority to them, it will also need to be weighed, not to mention that now is the most critical time, if Donald takes Anthony and them away, no one can say what these two people will think.
"I'm going to get you the car and the clothes you need for the journey. ”
Stephanie subconsciously pursed her lips when she heard Donald say that he wouldn't take anyone on the way, but she didn't say anything, took a deep breath and took the initiative to speak.
"No, my current identity, it's hard to guarantee that no one will worry about it, the Talos family's vehicle is eye-catching, there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble, as for food and clothing, I have ...... in the ring Don't worry, you should all know what I'm capable of, no problem, what you need to care about is our plan. ”
Stopping Olivia's movements, Donald's thumb subconsciously rubbed against the carnivorous doctor's face and whispered,
"In the coming days, a lot of unexpected things will happen, and before that, we have to be able to control all the accidents!"
Some heavy words fell, and everyone in the study was silent.
Or thoughtful, or frowning.
......
Three days later, in the middle of the vast verdant wilderness, a horse-drawn carriage had just left the boundaries of East Germany.
Driving the carriage was still Barlow, one of Charis' followers, wearing only a loose beige shirt, a bowler hat on his head, and a reins in both hands, controlling the direction of the three horses in front of him.
In the carriage at the back, Donald and Charis sat opposite each other, and in the middle of the two were placed a chessboard, a dozen pieces divided into black and white, and different shapes were staggered.
"We're going to pass through the Rock Castle first, then the Usangar Mountains, the Ember Mine...... Finally, the industrial heart of the Ryan Empire - Ense City!"
Charis's gaze leaned against the pillow beside her, her mouth was talking, her fingers were lightly raised, and a knight-like chess piece on the chessboard rode up as if it had come to life, and the spear in her hand pierced the soldier holding the sword in front of her.
"Why Enser...... The black-robed sage didn't give me much revelation, and even if he occasionally sent down oracles, they were mostly mysterious, and the holy words that mortals couldn't fathom, I wanted to hear more straightforward from you. ”
Donald held Finger in his arms, grabbed its little paw with one hand and pressed forward, and there was a black mist rising on the right side of the chessboard, and after a while, it was surging on the chessboard, and an illusory rainstorm followed, and the magic was that the white chess pieces, whether they were knights or guards, or anything else, all put on a dejected look, such as the knight who was still speared before, and now he can only obediently dismount and move forward with difficulty.
"You don't believe me, I know that I know that I brought you to Ense to let you and the being behind you know the seriousness of the matter...... There should still be time. ”
With a light exhale, the black fog on the chessboard dissipated in an instant, and then the wind swept up, and two ears of wheat in the hands of the peasants in the Black pieces immediately withered.
"What will happen to Enser?"
"I don't know, so far, I just feel like something is going to happen there...... That's something that can change the world, the stars are falling, the dark canopy is about to descend in the next moment, and the creatures in the mortal world ...... Will there be a change?"
Xia Ruisi's words were suddenly a little hurried, and even the chess pieces on the chessboard were advancing, rendering most of the black and white chessboard into pure white, Donald looked at her in surprise, they had played magic chess a lot along the way, and he had never seen Xia Ruisi so angry and corrupt.
Of course, it was only surprise.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and a black mist instantly filled the entire chessboard......
"Don't you think you're very unruly, and you have to cheat every time to win me?"
Xia Ruisi bit her lower lip, and her coquettish appearance could make most men instantly captured by her.
"Why do you think it's cheating?"
It's a pity that Donald is one of the very few men, who has seen the other side of Charis, and he is on mental alert almost always when getting along with the former, for fear of being seduced by a look or smile.
"You should know that if you don't have that talent, you can't beat me. ”
She has played magic chess I don't know how many times, in terms of routines and experience, there is no doubt that she has won over Donald, who has only been in contact for less than two days, but who made Donald have the talent for agile thinking.
As long as he is willing, there are not many people in this world who can play chess and win against him.
"Hahaha~ This is not an exam, everyone can only blame them for bringing one or two pens into the venue...... Not to mention that some people are born with a good memory, and can always remember more than others, do you want to tell him not to think?"
Talent is talent, and since Donald has it, there is no reason not to use it.
"It's just that there are too many unruly people like you that things will become so troublesome!"
Donald's words seemed to have pierced Charis's heart somewhere, and her face immediately sank, and she waved her hand back to withdraw her magic chess, turned her head to look out the window, and stopped talking to Donald.
