...... you don't have any more apprentices because of the four? What the hell is going on in this matter, I always feel a little concerned......

After returning to the room, Zheng Jiuye was still lying on the bed thinking about this question.

Suddenly I want to curse. Because of the deletion of memories during the previous exam, Zheng Jiuye is now lying on the bed in the room with his eyes open, and he can't sleep anyway......

In the previous exam, I had to review because there was content that needed to be reviewed, so I had to review it in order to pass the written exam safely, although it was not important; Now Zheng Jiuye's body is extremely tired and he can't train, so now Zheng Jiuye doesn't know what to do.

And there are no mobile phones in this world......

"Why don't you just go get a book and read—"

As soon as Zheng Jiuye stood up, the door of the room was directly pushed open.

"Come and play backgammon with me," the girl with an eye patch and a cat on her shoulder placed the chessboard directly on the table in front of Zheng Jiuye, "Do you hold red or black?" ”

Zheng Jiuye: "......"

Although I knew that this would be the case for a long time, I didn't expect this kind of thing to be so fast...... After all, Zheng Jiuye, as a traverser rather than an aborigine, still has a lot of things beyond his power.

For example, at the end of the day...... What the hell is the so-called backgammon?!

"I admit defeat, I haven't played backgaku at all," Zheng Jiuye sighed, raising his hands in a form of surrender, "You can go and tell Yan Hassan...... Just say that you have overcome me. ”

After all, if this situation happens, it is already beyond Zheng Jiuye's ability...... Yan Hassan shouldn't be able to do anything if he knows about it, right?

"No...... I'll tell you the rules. ”

The girl had no intention of listening to Zheng Jiuye's words at all...... Said to himself.

“……”

If you only know the rules, you can't play, right?

But seeing that the girl had no intention of stopping, Zheng Jiuye had no choice but to continue to listen to the girl talk about the basic points of the so-called "land chess".

This kind of game is better than calling it backgammon, but rather "road chess" - because the roads in the chessboard are not in all directions, and the roads taken by the chess pieces can even be opened, blocked or even dismantled, which leads to a considerable degree of uncertainty in the layout of the chessboard.

In addition, the type of chess pieces is very similar to chess, and there is no military chess, and there is absolutely a relationship between the lower grams; The chess pieces are divided into seven professions, two pieces for each and a "king", a total of fifteen pieces.

"Well, that's probably it, and then it's red first, and black can put a terrain before the start."

After the girl set up all the chessboards in front of her, she said this to Zheng Jiuye.

"That's right...... Then I'll stick to the black and put a 'bridge' here. ”

Zheng Jiuye placed the small card representing the bridge on a canyon on the chessboard, and then observed the girl's next move.

Because of what happened before...... In fact, Zheng Jiuye is quite concerned about the specific situation of this guy.

"Then I'll go 'Swordsman'."

Specifically, I can't see anything unusual at the moment...... When the girl was playing chess, she couldn't tell that she was wearing a opaque blindfold all the time, as if even with one blindfold, everything could be seen normally.

"Berserker, pan five squares."

Well, Zheng Jiuye is still quite interested in this so-called backchess. Because of the special situation of the terrain, there are quite a lot of combinations of chess pieces that are not very many, which does look quite interesting......

About fifteen minutes later.

"Pawn ...... Phew, when the head archer, the canyon is invalid; Add to that the cavalry on the right and you are checkmated. ”

Zheng Jiuye was speechless and put down the chess pieces in his hand.

In the end, it's just used to simulate tactics and guidelines...... And it has a little in common with chess, and the "checkmate" method in chess can also be used after a slight modification.

But anyway, Zheng Jiuye is only the first time to play this game called backgammon...... How did you checkmate the girl who took the initiative to challenge the other side?

Shouldn't you be confident in this game before you come to take on the challenge......

“…… Again! ”

After the girl was stunned for a long time, she rearranged the chessboard and stared at Zheng Jiuye with an unconvinced expression.

Wouldn't it be nice to accept me admitting defeat obediently? The result has to tell me the rules; Tell me the rules, forget it, why are you still playing so badly......

Zheng Jiuye sighed, and left the assassin first with a helpless expression.

I was too obsessed with playing because I was exposed to new things just now, why don't you just walk around this time and let her win......?

"Nine Nights...... What are you doing with the lights on so late? ”

Zheng Jiuye was thinking about whether to simply release the water, when Sophia suddenly asked outside.

"Playing Chess ......"

Anyway, I can't sleep anyway, so I just play it as an entertainment project. After all, it's better than staying in the house......

The next day, almost all of the students gathered in the square of the Imperial Noble Academy—that is, under the forbidden spell orb that Zheng Jiuye had complained about as a nuclear bomb.

The reason why almost all of them are said is because there is indeed one person who is still missing.

Zheng Jiuye did not show up.

"That...... I'm sorry, because I want to ask you guys who are more familiar with it, why hasn't that guy come yet......"

The third prince standing in it turned his head and whispered to ask Wei Wei, who was behind the third prince.

"I don't know. It's such an important time, and that guy really dares to be absent like this......" Wei Wei sighed, "Sophia may know, but Sophia was called to the rostrum." ”

At this time, standing on the rostrum was the head of the academy, Avril Lavigne among the Seven Sages, and Sophia, the only full-career person.

"Ahem, today is the first ...... of our Imperial Noble Academy. Wait, why hasn't anyone arrived? ”

If it's an ordinary student, you won't notice; It's just that Yan Jin deliberately said that he wanted to take care of Zheng Jiuye, and Avril could still find that this person did not come.

"Nine Nights...... I remember that he had been playing backgammon all night last night, and he probably fell asleep because he was too tired, right? ”

Sophia said in the back - of course, because it was the influence range of amplification magic, Sophia's words were also completely transmitted to the entire campus.

Although Sophia's intentions were good, it was true that Zheng Jiuye had not slept for more than forty-eight hours and was too tired to arrive, but Sophia's statement was ......

In short, Sophia's words really reached the ears of every student present through the magic of amplification.

"Like, it's a little bad......"

The smile on Yan Jin's face, who was sitting behind the rostrum and waiting to appear, was about to disappear......
