Chapter 151: Human-Wolf Relationship

"How can I say that? It should be said that in the entire 'Land of Heavenly Wolves', the wolf clan is in an absolute dominant position, while the human race is in a subordinate position. ”

In front of Cheng Zhong's rigorous question, Li Muxian thought about it seriously, and then cautiously stated his opinion.

"Auntie, can you give us an example?" asked Cheng Zhong.

"For example, in the country's supreme ruling group, the wolf clan is the absolute majority, while the human race is only a very small minority able to participate. ”

"Are you talking about the supreme ruling group, including Starlight?"

"He can also be regarded as a member of the ruling group. ”

"That'...... Are the chess masters you mentioned earlier considered to be members of the ruling group?"

"He is also in the ruling group, specializing in culture and entertainment, etc., which is roughly equivalent to ...... It's equivalent to the country's Minister of Culture. ”

"So...... What about the status of the rest of the common people?"

"With the exception of a very small number of officers and soldiers, most of the common people are about the same status as slaves. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... Because you just have to hear what they call them.

Those who are engaged in manufacturing are called 'artisan slaves', those who are engaged in theatrical performances are called 'dancing slaves', 'singing slaves' and 'art slaves', those who do small labor and chores are called 'labor slaves', and so on. ”

"Do those people have families of their own?"

"Some have families, some don't, but even if they have families, they don't have any private property, and the whole family is slaves. ”

"Auntie, let me ask you, who is in charge of managing so many slaves?"

"The 'Land of Heavenly Wolves' is very large and complicated.

It is generally understood to be equivalent to a federation of multiple organizations, consisting of many princely states and large tribes.

There were also small states and large and small slave owners' estates under the vassal states.

And the kings and slave owners of those small countries are almost all wolf clans. ”

"Are there no exceptions?"

"Yes, as far as I know, there is only one vassal state whose monarch is a Terran. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect the wolf clan to be so powerful!

So...... What about the status of ordinary wolves in the wolf country?"

After Cheng Zhong sighed, he asked a new question.

"All the wolf clans belong to the aristocratic class of the wolf country, and they enjoy many privileges, and they can choose to join the army or stay in their own small clan relatively freely. ”

Li Muxian tried her best to express the complex situation simply and directly.

"Could it be that all the wolf clans here have good intelligence?"

Cheng Zhong asked as if puzzled.

"When it comes to intelligence, the wolf clan here is indeed not the same as the wolf clan on the earth.

They generally enter various schools of the wolf clan from birth, and can receive education and training for about twenty years.

Therefore, their intelligence is very close to that of the Terrans, and their physique is far more flexible and developed than the Terrans, and they are more adaptable to various terrains and landforms.

Without the aid of tools, an ordinary person is far from being an opponent of an ordinary wolf.

That's why they've been able to maintain their position as rulers. ”

Li Muxian analyzed carefully as much as he knew.

"I see, then, how long does the wolf clan live?"

"As far as I know, it's about 200 years old. ”

"Oh Auntie, I probably figured it out.

The situation in the 'Land of Heavenly Wolves' is really beyond my imagination, and today I have a preliminary understanding, and I will save it for later.

Now, let's go back to the original question, can you tell us how exactly you got that chess deck?"

Cheng Zhong's eyes rolled, followed the conversation, and returned to the original question.

"Hehe, you hell boy, you just want others to revolve around your train of thought.

Don't you see that your aunt is turned away by your questions?"

Li Muxian scolded with a smile on his face.

"I, please forgive my aunt for being rude, my nephew has always been thirsty for knowledge, ho ho. ”

Cheng Zhong defended himself with a flamboyant tongue.

"Alas, I really can't do anything about you, it seems that I have to be honest.

That person is the number one chess master in the 'Land of Wolves', and he once served as the chess teacher of the current Supreme Wolf King, so he was trusted by the Supreme Wolf King and entrusted with important tasks by it......"

"Good aunt, please wait a minute!

I want to ask you, can wolves also play chess?"

Li Muxian had just started to speak, but Cheng Zhong grabbed her hand and interrupted her and asked.

"Of course, the weight of chess in the wolf country is extraordinary, and it is a common way for wolves and humans to compete in intelligence.

Whether it is the court or the army, the style of chess is generally very popular, and some difficult matters will even be decided by the victory or defeat of a game of chess.

Therefore, chess masters have a special status in the wolf country, and they are often sought after by wolves and everyone. ”

"So, you deserve to be sought after, right?"

"Well, of course, I have the strength to make them follow, but that means that I will lose my freedom and serve the wolf country for the rest of my life, which is not something I am willing to do.

So, I had to hide my abilities in this area and never played against anyone. ”

Li Muxian slowly lowered his head and said.

"In that case, how can you compete with the first master?"

Cheng Zhong asked without stopping.

"He, who is an official in the same dynasty as 'Starlight', is his best friend.

Whenever Starlight came home from the army, he would come to my house as a guest.

He played chess with 'Starlight' and drank for fun, relying on his chess skills to excel, and often drunk 'Starlight'.

Once, 'Starlight' lost a few games in a row and was about to get drunk again.

I waited on the sidelines, but I couldn't stand it, so I helped him with a few moves, and even beat him by two.

He drank very little, and when he drank two large bowls, he fell unconscious until dawn.

As soon as he woke up the next day, he offered to play directly against me.

Although I am 10,000 unwilling, after all, he is an important minister of the wolf country, and he has a close relationship with the supreme wolf king, so I dare not give him face.

So on the premise that he promised to keep it a secret for me, I agreed to compete with him.

His bet was on this jade chess set. ”

Li Muxian's face was slightly red, and he said softly while recalling the scene at that time.

"I understand, you actually won the number one master of the 'Land of Heavenly Wolves', my aunt is really amazing!"

Cheng Zhong gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration.

"Alas, although I won that victory, it was really difficult, and it took a whole day and a night before I got lucky to win. ”

"Why, didn't you agree on a few sets to decide the winner?"

"The way we agreed was that no matter which side it was, a two-set win in a row would be a win. ”

"It's no wonder that it is extremely difficult for an opponent with equal chess strength to win two games in a row. ”

As soon as Cheng Zhong heard it, he understood the reason.

Because after losing a game of chess, a chess player will definitely move first in the next game, and in order not to lose the second game in a row, he will definitely make a sum early.

With both the advantage of the first move and the desire for peace, it becomes even more difficult for the opponent to win.

If the game is tied with a struggle, the opponent's previous win will be void.

Because it was agreed that a win in a row of two sets would be considered a win.

"You're quite right.

But he didn't expect it to be so difficult to beat me in two sets in a row, and at the end of the day, his physical energy was not enough, so I had a chance to win. ”

Li Muxian said emotionally.

"Is he older?"

"yes, he was over 400 years old at the time!"

"Hehe, in this way, my aunt is a little invincible!"

"It's true, he's so deep that if I had a best-of-three system, I'd be no match for him.

Since that long competition with him, I have really benefited a lot, and my understanding of chess has reached a new level, and my chess strength has increased greatly.

Since I left the wolf country, I have never met an opponent of equal strength before I met you today. ”

After Li Muxian finished speaking, he touched Cheng Zhong's face lovingly, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
