After a while, the door opened. A black-robed man walked into the room, turned his back to the mirror, and sat down. Judging from the curves of her body, she is a woman.

After she sat down, she brought herself a glass of wine, and as she drank it, she picked up a chess piece on the chessboard and looked at it slowly.

The chess pieces are black and white, and the black ones are skeletons, undead, and demons, including skeleton soldiers in armor and sword and shield, skeleton knights riding black horses, ghosts driving chariots, living dead people wearing crowns, and banshees wearing leather clothes and carrying bat-wings on their backs.

The black horse's hooves stepping on the fire should be a legendary nightmare. The banshee is bewitching and charming, and should be the legendary succubus.

The white side were all normal humans, with eight pikemen, two knights, two chariots, two female assassins, a king, and a queen.

The black-robed woman looked at it for a moment, then took out a very small knife from inside her robe, which should be the kind used to cut paper, and slashed it lightly on her fingertips. The blood quickly seeped out, forming a small drop of blood on the fingertips. I saw her shoulders move slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and then dripped blood beads on a black chess piece.

Vicar...... Daris...... Knight ......"

Zhang Peng couldn't hear the sound originally, but this time, he seemed to hear a sound that seemed to come from a distant place, sometimes vague, sometimes clear.

Vicar...... Daris...... Knight ......"

Gradually, the surroundings dimmed, and only whispers remained.

Suddenly, Zhang Peng woke up, and the voice in his head seemed to be still remembering.

He quickly took out his phone and looked up information on the Internet.

Although he can't read, he has played a lot of games, and Darisknight is the meaning of "death knight" in the empress's Chinese language. As for the "Vicar" in front, he didn't find it for more than ten minutes.

Eventually, he realized, it was not the language of the Queen's Kingdom. After searching repeatedly, I finally figured out that the pronunciation of "Vicar" is "vocare" in ancient Latin, which means "summon", and it is connected to "summon death knights".

The chess piece held by the black-robed woman in the dream was the skeleton riding the nightmare.

Turning his head to see that the old yellow skin was dozing, Zhang Peng got up and went to the kitchen, brought a fruit knife, followed the example of a woman, cut his fingers, dripped blood on the skeleton killer, and read: "vocare Killer (empress Chinese "killer") ......"

The pieces do not react.

He tried to say again: "vocare Assassin (the empress Chinese "Assassin"......"

As soon as the words fell, the chess pieces in his hand turned into a cloud of black mist, and with a "whew", it fell to the ground. And at a speed visible to the naked eye, it condensed into a skeleton wearing a black robe and holding a sharp knife. In that case, it was exactly the same as a chess piece.

"I am here, my master......"

The skeleton assassin faced Zhang Peng, knelt on one knee, and made a low, hoarse voice, exactly the same as when he hosted the killing game, but the language was different.

Zhang Peng subconsciously raised his head and looked at the golden armor talisman above. The rune paper moved with the wind, and there was no reaction in the slightest, and it seemed that this thing was not a threat to itself.

"Turn around." Zhang Peng said.

The skeleton assassin didn't react, and didn't seem to understand.

“turn around……”

Before he could pronounce the sound, the two words just came to mind when the skeleton assassin stood up and turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees, turning his back to Zhang Peng. The action was meticulous and accurate.

"guard......"

Zhang Peng said silently, and the skeleton killer immediately walked to the door of the office, turned into a black mist, and drilled out through the crack in the door.

Damn, good thing!

Zhang Peng was excited, and commanded it to come back. The skeleton killer immediately turned into a black mist, burrowed in through the crack in the door, and then recondensed two meters in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground.

How to recycle?

“recover？”

As soon as the word popped into his mind, the Skeleton Slayer turned into a black mist and flew back into his hands, turning into a small chess piece again.

Zhang Peng looked at the skeleton assassin in his hand repeatedly, and was extremely happy. With this thing, it is equivalent to having an extra powerful assistant, but I don't know how effective it is.

For a while, he couldn't put it down.

The magic flag, or a complete set, I don't know what about the other chess pieces. The bowl in his hand was not yet hot, and he was already thinking about the pot.

In order to test the ability of the skeleton assassin, Zhang Peng quietly went out. It's four o'clock in the morning, and it's pitch black except for the faint lights in the hallway.

Zhang Peng didn't hurt his fingers again, and tried to summon it. The pawn immediately transformed, and it seemed that only the first summon needed to use his blood.

Then, Zhang Peng commanded it to cut weeds, wood blocks and other things, and it was invincible. He also commanded it to reconnoiter everywhere, and found that it was not very powerful, similar to an ordinary adult male, but it did not know it, and it came and went without a trace. Whether it's assassination or detection, it's very useful.

It didn't take long for Zhang Peng to notice that the black mist of the skeleton assassin incarnation seemed to fade a little. Although it is still very solid, it is still a little lighter than at the beginning.

Inferred from the sights seen in the dream, this chess piece has been around for a long time. It is preliminarily inferred that its actions require some kind of energy, just as a person needs to eat and a car needs to be refueled.

As for the means of replenishment, it is likely that through that killing game, absorbing the life energy of the innocent, or something else.

After the test, it was already six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Peng returned to the office, woke up Li Chunsheng and Lao Huangpi, asked them to go back to rest, and said that the matter of the skeleton killer would be postponed. Subsequently, Zhang Peng returned home, took a shower, put the chess pieces on the coffee table in the living room, and then returned to the bedroom and went to bed for a while.

When I woke up again, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was two hours before dinner. Zhang Peng turned on the computer and looked up information about "Magic Chess".

There were hundreds of thousands of search results, and Zhang Peng was first taken aback, knowing that there were so many people who were talking about magic chess. But he must have figured it out, it is a Citigroup movie of the same name, about a little boy who plays magic chess with his companions, is sucked into the world of the chessboard, and only when he grows up does he get out by chance, and finally marries a little beauty and lives a happy life.

Obviously, it is completely different from the magic chess he is in contact with now.

He changed the search criteria and entered "Magic Chess + Skeleton Assassin", which is actually a movie of Magic Chess, because there are also Skeleton Assassins in the story. So Zhang Peng changed again, such as "Magic Chess + Skeleton Chariot", "Magic Chess + Skeleton Guard", "Magic chess (Magic Chess) + Skeleton arrior", "Magic chess + Death Knight (Death Knight)", and finally searched for an auction website of the Imperial Kingdom in the last group of entries.

Zhang Peng used his broken Empress Chinese, plus Du Niang's translator, and finally barely understood the general meaning.

This is the auction information half a year ago, the "Karaman Auction" in the Empress's Kingdom sold a magic chess piece "Death Knight". A mysterious wealthy businessman bids for £3.5 million.

The Karaman auction house explained the relevant bidding information, to the effect that this chess piece was one of the Rita magic chess pieces that Count Nelson ordered the court craftsmen to build three hundred years ago and gave to his granddaughter Rita as a coming-of-age gift. It is said to have magical powers, and can transform into entities for the owner to drive. However, due to its age, the method of use has been lost, and it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of the rumors.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng was completely relieved, the gift that the earl gave to his granddaughter must be safe, at least for the owner.

Harm your granddaughter? That must be in the brain.

Then, Zhang Peng summoned the skeleton assassin and asked it to go down to see what Ma Jinglei was doing. After the morning's testing, he became more and more comfortable with the command of the Skeleton Assassins. Although the other party is a foreign product who does not understand Chinese, as the number of contacts increases, it gradually changes from the language of consciousness to the direct transmission of pictures and will.

In short, Zhang Peng will do whatever he wants, like an arm and a finger, and he will be handy.

At his command, the skeleton assassin turned into a puff of black mist and flew down from the balcony. But just as it was approaching the commissary, it suddenly sent Zhang Peng a great sense of fear, and his actions involuntarily stalled. It was as if there was a wild beast lurking in front of him, and he didn't dare to approach an inch. Zhang Peng felt the same way, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and he hurriedly summoned it back.

The feeling that the skeleton assassin conveyed back to Zhang Peng was that once he got close, he would be wiped out. However, Zhang Peng is not surprising that the person who can give birth to two sisters is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp. This skeleton assassin is probably just a matter of Xiao Yunuo's glance.

When recycling, Zhang Peng clearly felt that the skeleton assassin had weakened a lot, as if he had experienced a huge attrition.

He couldn't help frowning, did he want to organize a killing game to recharge it. This is absolutely impossible, he is not a murderer who cares about human life.

So, he went to Baidu again, such as "How to charge the magic weapon?" "How do you nourish the artifact?" "If you don't have psionic energy, how can you make up for the loss of the magic weapon?" Wait a minute.

After two hours of searching, screening, and comparing, he found a relatively reliable statement: burying the magic weapon in a place where the yin qi is thicker can achieve a nourishing effect. However, due to the impurity of the composition of yin qi, it carries a large number of consciousness imprints, which will cause varying degrees of infection to the magic weapon. In the long run, it is easy to breed evil spirits within the body.

At that time, the artifact will have autonomous consciousness, which will not only infringe on the user's sanity, but will even cause backlash, causing the owner of the artifact to die. Even worse, it can continue to grow and be a disaster.

However, some magic weapons have a certain purification ability, or their composition tends to be dark and chaotic, and they are highly resistant to yin energy.

The former is like a Ferrari engine with multiple filters, which can isolate impurities independently, while the latter is like a rough and simple Jetta engine, which does not have high requirements for the label of gasoline, even if it is mixed with a little water, it can run happily.

Zhang Peng also found that the magic weapons that tend to be black in color are mostly made of black obsidian, or doped with a large amount of black black iron and black crystal powder, and their attributes are biased towards chaos, and they have a strong tolerance for yin qi. In general, it is difficult to be directly infected by yin qi.

Zhang Peng took out the chess pieces and put them in the sun to watch, and the inside of them showed a translucent black. If you look closely, a faint layer of gold emerges on the surface. It is very close to the description of Ugin obsidian on Du Niang Encyclopedia. So he made up his mind to go to Huangniu Mountain tomorrow to see if it worked.

Seeing that the sun was setting and it was almost dinner time, Zhang Peng put away the chess pieces and went downstairs to find Ma Jinglei.

As soon as he entered the commissary, he saw Ma Jinglei stretching her neck and looking out of the window.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Just now...... It looks like someone is peeking outside. Ma Jinglei frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"Maybe it's a delusion." The initiator said lightly.

"Hmm......" Ma Jinglei nodded and said, "I guess I didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little confused." She has always believed in Zhang Peng's judgment.

"Auntie is tired, I'll press the meridians for you later." Zhang Peng said intimately.

As if remembering something bad, Ma Jinglei's face turned red, glared at Zhang Peng, and turned around to go into the kitchen to make dinner.
