() Indeed, the Emperor recalls that neither your king nor the remaining castle have moved since the beginning, but what's the point of that and so on -- do you want to ......

You are right, Your Majesty the Emperor showed a kind of confidence that had been hidden for a long time in Owen's smile, and the king entered the castle and Owen shouted

There is a special way to move chess: when the king and one of the castles have never moved, and the king has not been attacked, the king and the castle can be moved at the same time in one step, the king moves two squares in the direction of the castle, and then turns the castle over and places it next to the king - this special move is called the king entering the castle

(Author's note: Wang Jin Castle in chess is usually called Che King Transposition according to Chinese custom)

This...... You have been passively beaten just now, preferring to sacrifice the strongest queen rather than let the king move half a move, is it just to wait for this move, from Charlotte I's surprised expression, it can be seen that Owen's move has brought a subtle change to the situation, because the bishop who was in the way was moved away, and after the king entered the castle, Black's king was exactly in the attack path of White's castle, and White's king was now in a position where Black's piece could not attack within two moves

You were the general, and Owen said

Charlottes I was so angry that he was attacking too fiercely just now, even the king crossed the middle line, but the queen fell behind because of the greed to kill Owen's chess pieces, at this time the queen and the king happened to be in the same straight line, Owen this general actually killed the queen of the black side, so that it will form a castle against two bishops, it is likely to end in a draw, Charlotte has played countless games in his life, and has never been forced to draw by the other party, but although he is unwilling, he has no choice but to abandon the queen and watch the draw happen

However, when Charlotte removed his king, Owen did not take the opportunity to kill his queen, but made a more subtle move. The long-forgotten soldier had already reached the second line of Black's bottom line, but because Black had already had an absolute advantage just now, and Charlotte was convinced that his bottom line was completely under his control, he kept the soldier alone, but he did not expect that it was this negligence that caused irreparable consequences: the soldier who walked to the opponent's bottom line was promoted to the queen who had long since been killed, and at the same time brought the black king into the attack range

He was the general again, and His Majesty the Emperor had a playful smile on his face

Ah—at this moment Charlotte I felt nothing but the world spinning

Next, Owen used the castle to kill the queen of Charlotte I, and then used the castle to cooperate with the resurrected queen to kill the two bishops of Black one after another, and the king of Black became the commander of the single, and the defeat was assured

Lost...... Lost...... I actually lost, facing the first defeat in my life, Charlotte I involuntarily took two steps back like a drunk, he had lost his arrogance as emperor and only the shame of being a loser, and his self-proclaimed king of a country had changed from me to an ordinary person

It's called 'one son is wrong and loses all the games,' said Emperor Majesty Owen

It turns out that you set a trap for me a long time ago, so you deliberately showed weakness and led me to take the bait, Charlotte looked at Owen in puzzlement, and even the blood you vomited just now is fake

The reason why I vomited blood was because I was relieved, it was a kind of joy that I had finally succeeded after a lot of hardship, Owen said, I have to admit that my majesty is the strongest chess player I have ever seen, and if it weren't for the huge advantage in the short term, you wouldn't have been able to see my layout

Seeing that Charlotte didn't react, just looked at himself blankly, Owen continued: "I said that in fact, you have lost at the beginning, and it is precisely because you have always been a winner on the chessboard that you are extremely conceited, and you have never looked down on your opponent, and you can see from the movement of your chess pieces that you think you can master a qiē by yourself alone - this makes you sow the bane of ultimate failure

No, I am the emperor, how could I lose to a pariah like you, Charlotte shook his head, he couldn't accept such an ending

What about the emperor, you treat your subjects as pawns, but you are high up and play their lives and deaths as a game, what is the use of such an emperor, you are not worthy of being the king of a country at all, or even as a person, Owen suddenly changed his tone and rebuked angrily

Shouldn't this be the case, the reason why monarchs are monarchs is because they are better than others, and without a strong monarch to rule, the country will only be a mess, so the commoner ministers should serve the monarch and dedicate all their one to pave the way for the strong, this is an eternal truth

Alas...... You are really hopeless, Owen sighed and shook his head, and said, "Now outside this tower, you and the Holy See are going to destroy the Hansha City, and your brother Duris, as the king of this country, will not hesitate to risk his life in order to save this country, and fight desperately outside the tower, because he understands the truth that 'there is no monarch without the people';

How to be a monarch is not your turn to be judged by a pariah...... Charlotte roared at Owen, and suddenly, half of his face was already burned, and his face was covered with horror

Seeing that Charlotte is defenseless, Sophia is trying to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the tears of repentance from his hands

However, Owen stopped her: stop Sophia, he didn't have long to live

Don't, don't don't take me away just one game, give me another chance, please give me another chance, god, Charlotte howled in horror, and the tears of repentance in her hand danced in the air, as if she was holding something off

Owen, what the hell happened to him, Sophia asked

This kind of magic is from the moment the contract is made, he can't lose a game of chess, and if he loses, the so-called 'god' who gives power has to fulfill the contract, take his soul away and devour you as food, don't go over, otherwise even your soul will be implicated, Owen explained

Charlotte I slashed for about half a minute, and his movements gradually slowed down, and the howl that had been hissing and exhausted turned into a weak murmur: Don't ...... Please...... Leave me alone......

As long as he loses, his soul will be devoured, and he has paid such a heavy price for his so-called imperial cause, and this emperor is really pitiful, and at this time, looking at the tragic situation of Charlotte I, Sophia can't help but feel pity for this enemy who had wanted to kill her and her companions not long ago

Yes, Owen nodded in agreement, although he usually looks arrogant and conceited, but in fact he is cowardly, empty, and extremely insecure, and only by putting himself in the pursuit of power and power can he feel his own existence, Owen paused, and Owen said that I can no longer fight hard in my current physical state, and only by playing chess in my mind can I defeat him, and only in this way can Joyka and the others be rescued from the evil arts--this may have been arranged in the dark

By this time Charlotte had ceased his activity, he sat on the ground against the wall, his hands clutching the tears of repentance, but he did not make any more sounds, his eyes were as dull as wax, and he could no longer see in them what was called a soul

As soon as it was time to finish, Owen stepped forward and reached out to retrieve the tears of repentance that Charlotte had held in his hands

The rain was a little weaker than just now, but the temperature dropped significantly, so those who still felt their body temperature shivered involuntarily

Finally, Decid lifted the carcass of a harpy and tossed it aside

It is estimated that we have eliminated thousands of them, right, Duriss looked at the harpy corpses all over the ground and said

Yes, these monsters are all dead, let's win, Di Xide shouted excitedly

It's too early to win, Duris lost no time in pouring cold water on Dexid, the real enemy is still hiding in this tower, and now the battle has just begun, although several teenagers have rushed into the tower to fight for the fate of the kingdom, but now we can't do nothing, all the obstacles have been removed, let's fight together, and assist those teenagers to eradicate all the enemies who are trying to bring disaster to the kingdom, and end the crisis that Hansha City is now facing, and when these are completed, we are qualified to say victory

Duris's words made Dexid blush, and his ears were pale, but at this time, Duriss didn't pay attention to what the young man thought, he stood on a large rock, looked at the chaotic battlefield and his soldiers, and then Duriss asked Dexid beside him: Has the seriously injured little girl been moved to a safe place?

The minister had already arranged for her, and she should be safer with Master Fawkes for the time being, and De Cid replied

Wonderful, Duris's eyes fell on the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and ordered him to go down and leave a detachment to collect the remains of the heroes and take care of the seriously wounded, and the rest of the people who were not injured or only slightly wounded entered the tower with me

Your Majesty, you also go to the king's words, which suddenly made Di Xide panic, after such a long battle, His Majesty's body is not only very tired, but also injured, how can he continue to fight

Just don't grind like a girl, Duris, he scolded, he noticed at this time, the twelve stone beads on the entrance door of the Tower of Seven Sins have eleven lit up, and the last one is emitting a faint light, indicating that it is now less than an hour before the divine punishment comes, and the time will not wait for me

Obeying the order, Di Xide was helpless, he knew the character of this king, no one could change the decision he had made, Di Xide could only obey his orders, but he involuntarily made a decision, no matter what happened, he must stay by His Majesty's side

After a short count of the number of people and equipment, a team of about 100 people with strong combat effectiveness was assembled, lined up in a neat line, waiting for the commander or His Majesty's order, Du Lisi was very satisfied with the speed and mental state of the troops, he didn't say too much nonsense, just pointed to the Tower of Seven Sins behind him, and gave the soldiers the most concise order: go

The seventh floor of the Tower of Seven Sins is above the top of the tower, and there is a short staircase between the tower and the top

At this time, two seriously injured young men and women were supporting each other to walk up this staircase

Oh my God, you have almost no skin on your body, and this injury is worse than mine, how the hell did you hold on to this, Sophia's face turned pale, because the injuries on Owen's body were too shocking

It's okay, Owen smiled bitterly, and although the release of Mosa is really terrible, at least I'm still alive now

I thought you were ...... when you disappeared with Samosa By the way, Shamossa, you defeated him

I don't have the power to defeat him, and I believe that there is no one in the three continents of Olopa today who can defeat Shamosa, who has only attained self-fulfillment

Although I don't quite understand, I'm so happy to be born and die with you now, even if I let the two of us die together, I'm happy, Sophia said thoughtlessly--suddenly she felt that she had said the wrong thing, and a blush appeared on her face, and she unconsciously lowered her head

However, Owen didn't seem to hear the sound, he poked his finger at Sophia's head and reproached: "You are not allowed to say 'die' casually, you must survive after this mission."

Alas, it hurts, you want to poke me to death, Sophia touched the place where Owen had been poked just now, and complained in a coquettish tone, although she said so, but her heart was like eating honey

The two entered a relative silence and continued to move forward in a tacit state, but when they were about to reach the top floor, Owen's footsteps suddenly stopped

Something had happened, and Owen's reaction made Sophia wonder

I didn't know, Owen shook his head and said that he suddenly had an ominous premonition...... I also felt a sense of déjà vu coming from above

You mean that there are still enemies up there, how can it be that the Seven Sins Guards have all been defeated by us, and there should be no more enemies in this Tower of Seven Sins to be too sensitive to Owen

Hopefully, Owen retracted his mind and brought up the tears of repentance to continue his journey with Sophia

Finally, at the end of the staircase, they were still faced with two stone doors, but this one was obviously much smaller than what they had encountered on the previous floors

The stone door was unlocked, and Owen and Sophia pushed the two stone doors open with a little force, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the stone door: It is a miracle that you have been able to defeat the guards of the seven sins, gluttony, rage, greed, laziness, jealousy, and arrogance, and that you have come here, but you have come to an end, and I will not let you go any further

As the stone door was pushed open, Owen and Sophia clearly saw that it was a small circular room, and in the middle of the room stood a person, who was the speaker, but just as Sophia saw the man's face, shock was written all over her face--You...... You are......

Yes, the one nodded, and I am the eighth guard of the Tower of Seven Sins and the last obstacle you must overcome.
