"Smack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A white piece fell on the chessboard, and the delicate white jade chess piece knocked on the precious fragrant wood chessboard, making a crisp impact sound.

"Robbery." Daddy McCarthy took a sip from his teacup and looked at the speaker sitting across from him with a smile.

At this moment, in the small courtyard on this holy mountain, the eye is full of spring colors.

Sitting in the grass pavilion, Daddy McCarthy was dressed in rough cloth, and his shoes were even stained with mud, and he knew that he had just returned from the vegetable field by looking at the hoe next to him.

Unlike McCarthy's father's leisure, the speaker sitting across from him was dressed in a very formal white robe of a congressman's standard, sitting with a stern face and a slight hesitation with a black jade chess piece in his hand.

"Luke, after all these years, your chess skills have not improved at all......" Daddy McCarthy smiled, as if he had no heart.

"......" Speaker glanced at him, his gaze returning to the chessboard.

Daddy McCarthy didn't care, humming a little song happily, almost shaking his head.

After a long time......

“…… Your chess skills are really good, much better than mine. Speaker Luke finally sighed and threw the sunspot in his hand onto the chessboard.

"Is this a towel?" McCarthy's father said badly, "Actually, you still have a chance, why don't I let you have a son and let you struggle?" You just admit defeat like this, so I don't feel a lot of pleasure, why don't you let me kill this big dragon again...... Angry roar roar ......"

"Your mouth is still so annoying." Luke looked at McCarthy with a straight face, "But these little tricks are just small tricks, and everyone hasn't opened their hole cards first, so the real victory and defeat will have to wait until ......."

"Huh? Cards? Do I have that kind of thing? "Daddy McCarthy put the teacup on the table, took off his shoes and rubbed his feet with his fingers," said Shar...... It's so cool...... I just felt itchy......"

“…… Hum. Luke was dismissive, with a "You think I'm going to believe" look on his face.

"You're suspicious. Sometimes it's a good thing, and sometimes it's a fatal mistake. ”

"Maybe." Luke gave McCarthy a deep look, then turned back and beckoned.

Several high-ranking priests walked in from outside the courtyard pushing a wheelchair, put Speaker Luke on the wheelchair one by one, and then pushed him slowly out of the place along the path.

When the people dispersed, Daddy McCarthy smiled brightly, then retracted his expression and redivided the black and white chess pieces into the wooden box. After finishing his work, he made himself a new pot of tea, and sat there to taste it.

After a long time, when the sun was about to set, the gaze that had been staring at Daddy McCarthy disappeared, and the comfort on Daddy McCarthy's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a solemnity that had never been seen before.

“…… This empty city calculation is laid out...... But all I can do is buy you some time, kids......"

Daddy McCarthy sighed deeply, suddenly a little annoyed.

"Damn it! If it weren't for Joshua's soft-heartedness...... How did things come to this! ”

……

“…… He didn't say anything? Elder Luke questioned the young man carefully.

The young man shook his head, "No, Speaker. The old guy...... Yes, I'm sorry! ”

When the young man mentioned "old fellow", Luke's gaze suddenly became so cold that the young man was almost speechless.

"Humph! Go on. ”

"Yes...... Be! But...... No, he just sat there all afternoon, drank two pots of tea, and didn't go to the toilet......" seemed to be frightened by Elder Luke, and the originally organized youth became flustered.

"Let's go down." Luke waved his hand.

"Yes...... Be...... I'm sorry. The young man went down with a look of trepidation.

Luke watched the young man's back disappear out the door before closing his eyes.

After a long time......

"Silently, I took control of the source of water...... Sure enough, it's McCarthy, but it's still so difficult to deal with...... But who doesn't have hole cards? It's not just you who are in the layout. ”

Speaker Luke seemed to have made up his mind, opened his eyes and pressed the button, and in a few moments, a man shrouded in a black cloak appeared on the screen.

"Your Excellency."

"It's ready to start." Luke said lightly.

"Yes!" With that, the man in the black cloak turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Luke stopped the cloaked man.

"Your Excellency." The man in the cloak turned respectfully and bowed his head to listen.

"Tell Tajiks to slaughter a few orc tribes." Speaker Luke said lightly. 、

"Yes...... The time for the Millennium War has not yet come......" The man in the cloak hesitated slightly.

"Execute the order!"

"Yes!" The man in the cloak saluted and disappeared from the screen.

Speaker Luke crossed his hands and stared at the screen in silence, his fingers tapping slightly anxiously on his knees, which he was no longer feeling.

“…… Time...... Not much......"

……

Two months later.

East Continent, Kaimani Town.

This town with a hint of extraterritorial flavor may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually one of the few trading towns in the entire barren Eastern Continent.

The reason why Kaimani Town has become one of the best trading centers in the entire Eastern Continent is not because it has any resources, nor because it has anything else special, even Bai Ding, who knows nothing about the economy, will say when he hears the name of Kayimani Town: "A bunch of shit luck guys." ”

Yes, the town of Kaimani has only been able to grow because of its good fortune.

The town of Kaimani is located in the southwest corner of the Eastern Continent, bordered by the sea to the south and the Orc Plateau to the north, as well as a nice deep-water port.

However, for a town like Kaimani, located on the edge of the Orc Plateau, the harbor is not a good terrain - because the gray orc raiders who are ready to roam here will turn all the harbor to ashes.

However, the town of Kayimani has stood in the southwest of the Eastern Continent for more than 2,000 years, and did not suffer any losses in the last Millennium War, and resumed trade immediately after the war, which has deep historical reasons, but in the final analysis, it is due to the luck of the first mayor of Kayimani.

Somehow, he actually got in touch with one of the gray orc shamans, and ran the town of Kaimani as the only place where you could buy Orc Highland specialties. As the only treaty port in the entire Orc Plateau, Kaimani Town can't develop, so it's a joke!

Of course, although on the surface the sign of "the only treaty port of the gray orcs" seems to be very loud, in fact, the gray orcs can basically be self-sufficient, and even when they are not in supply, they will choose to loot more than trade to obtain food and other necessities.

However, even if the trade rate is very small, when it is expanded to the entire orc plateau, which is huge, this less than one percent of the trade volume alone is enough to feed everyone in this town, and it also attracts a large number of merchants who are not afraid of life and death to come here to do business.

As winter had begun on the Orc Plateau, the town of Kaimani was at its busiest of the year, and all the big merchants who had business here began to stock up on food, fuel, iron, and spices.

At this moment, almost every few days, a merchant ship carrying supplies arrives in the small port outside the town of Kaimani, unloads grain and other supplies on the docks, and then pulls away with the herbs, animal skins, soul crystals, and all sorts of strange minerals that were harvested last year.

At this time of year, the town is at its busiest in Kaimani, and the town's residents can earn enough for a whole year to live on for just a few months, and even the lowest dock workers have two spare dollars to go to the bar and get drunk.

"Squeak......

The door to the bar opened from within, and two sailors staggered out of it. He didn't take two steps and began to throw up while hugging the doorpost. The doorman of the bar, not angry, grinned and helped the two drunks up, touched their hands skillfully in their pockets, and then threw the drunken sailors into the excrement-filled alley.

"Hahahaha......"

Several anti-contract workers at the wharf couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, these sailors usually looked down on the poor anti-contractors at all, and they naturally felt that the bed was extremely fast when they ended up now.

However, the two older contractors were not younger, and were talking quietly with their pipes in their mouths.

“…… I heard, you have a grandchild? The bearded old man spat out a faint white cigarette and said with a little envy.

The old man with a flushed face laughed and said proudly: "Why did you know about last night's events this morning?" Don't you have anything to do with going to our house to listen to the root of the wall? ”

"Cut! What's so nice about your ugly mother-in-law's wall? It's your little daughter-in-law, hehehe......" The bearded old man laughed obscenely.

"Phew! Old and unserious thing! Dare to hit my daughter-in-law's idea, be careful that I break your legs! The red-faced old man said with fake anger.

"Hey, hey, hey...... How dare you? Your eldest son is not allowed to kill me, huh? Early this morning, I saw him shouting 'I have a son' and 'I have a son' and hurriedly ran away with the caravan...... Looks like he's going to have to make a few more money this time. ”

The bearded old man shoved his pipe into his mouth and took a puff with taste.

“…… This stinky boy! When he comes back to see me, I won't clean him up! The fat old man of the red lotus said happily, but he didn't wait for the bearded old man's answer, he looked at him strangely, and the bearded old man held a pipe in his mouth, and looked in the direction of the open sea with wide eyes.

"What's wrong? Where is what...... Oh hell! What the hell is that!? ”

I saw a "house" made of thick black wood floating on the sea, and the style of the house was like an ordinary two-story building, except that it was built on a "wooden row" composed of countless ebony wood.

Overall, it looks like some kind of improvised bamboo raft or something, except that it's bigger and more elaborate. This kind of thing that even the children of the fishermen can make is naturally not a novelty, and it is not enough silver to make the well-informed bearded old man stunned, but ......

…… It's a shame to pull this "wooden row"!

Twelve huge unicorns raced across the water, tightening the locks so fast that the seemingly bulky water house approached at a rapid pace.

As the two old men fell silent, some of the dock workers who noticed them also looked in the direction of the sea.

Then, the silence spread like a virus through the crowd, and soon all that was left of the street was the sound of breathing and the distant clamours coming from the tavern.

It seemed that the silence outside made the people in the bar feel that something was wrong, and some of the sailors who were still relatively conscious came out of the bar one after another, and then fell silent.

In the eyes of everyone, the huge black wood "house boat" approached the dock, and faintly, a plainly dressed teenager appeared on the balcony of the "house boat" and waved his hand, and then the huge unicorns suddenly became transparent, and then instantly collapsed, turning into sea water and the sea as one.

"Hiss......"

The people who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp - so many servants were actually summoned by one person!? Oh my God, what a lot of control it takes!? Could it be ......

“…… Could it be that a legend? The blonde boy who had just come out of the bar muttered to himself.

"Yes, young master, you guessed right." A chubby businessman next to the boy whispered, but the gleam in the eyes of this tastefully dressed businessman from time to time made him seem not simple.

"Than you?" The boy looked at the chubby merchant curiously.

"Hey, hey, hey...... There's no comparison. The merchant laughed, "That's just a little guy, compared to an old player like us, the depth of the card pool alone can't be compared, plus experience...... Hey. ”

The businessman-looking guy chuckled and said no more, with a "you know" expression.

"Oh, that's it......" said the boy's eyes.

On the "house boat", a girl with black hair and a black skirt and a ponytail had just come down.

"I didn't expect such a small place to have such a stunning ......" The young man had a smile on his face, quite condescending. However, when he saw another silver-haired girl in white clothes getting off the "house boat", he was shocked, and his originally clear eyes gradually became dyed with a layer of fanaticism.

The white dress, white dress, short silver hair, and golden belt made the girl look particularly holy and beautiful.

But the beauty of his appearance could not shock the well-informed boy, and what fascinated him most was the smile on the perfect face of the silver-haired girl.

The smile is faint, if there is nothing, sometimes I wonder if she is really smiling, but when I look closely, I find that it is my own delusion.

If the teenager understands the civilization of the earth, he will use it

"Mona Lisa's smile."
