158. Cruel refusal without hesitation
Lu Haoyue pulled her chin with her fingers, stared thoughtfully at her hand, and muttered, "This is the car, right? ”
"Sister Yue, isn't this good, if my brother comes back later......"
Lu Haoyue stared at the anxious Lin Yue and smiled, and said: "Don't worry, your brother has to face, but there are more than thirty magicians, how can these people be so easy to convince, even I am not sure to deal with them, he can't come back for a while, he may have to return in vain today." ”
As Lu Haoyue spoke, she stuffed the chess pieces in her hand into Lin Jue's hand.
In the Governor's Office of Phoenix City, Lu Haoyue and Lin Yue were sitting around a small square table, on the square table, there was a chessboard, this was a pair of chess, if according to Lu Haoyue, this was a pair of Western chess, and the two were bored playing chess here, passing the time.
Lu Haoyue has been in the Eastern Continent for a long time, and in her opinion, the Eastern Continent is a wild land, after all, she grew up in the splendid city full of flowers, even if Dawn City is just a slightly prosperous town in her eyes.
In such a deserted place, she really couldn't afford to hang out, whether it was in Dawn City or Phoenix, there really wasn't anything worth hanging out in these two cities, except for the docks were the magic material store, and the only place that could catch her attention was the Sycamore Tree Bar opposite the Governor's Mansion in Phoenix.
When she was eating in the Sycamore Tree Bar last night, she accidentally found someone playing chess, and she couldn't help but look at it twice, thinking it was quite interesting, so today she also went to get a pair, and took advantage of Lin Jue's absence, pulled Lin Yue and began to study it.
When she was in Splendid City before, Lu Haoyue had learned Go for a few years, and her chess skills were also well-known in the entire Splendid City.
It is true that she has confidence in her chess skills, but this is limited to Go, and she doesn't know much about chess, she has lived in Fairview City for many years, and she doesn't know that there are other chess in this world besides Go and chess?
Even if Splendid City is an important town of trade between the East and the West, chess is not uncommon, but there are too many dazzling and strange things in Splendid City, and she naturally didn't notice such things as chess before. It's only now that she is in a remote place like Phoenix, and she notices it when she is bored.
Like Go, the chessboard is also divided into squares by criss-crossing lines, but these squares are dyed in different colors, and the chess pieces are not black and white round chess pieces, each of which has a distinctive and unique shape, compared with Go and Xiangqi, it does have another attractive charm.
It's just that the two didn't fiddle for long, maybe they just unfolded the chessboard and were still studying what the chess pieces of each shape represented, and Lin Jue had already returned.
When Lin Jue came back, the movement of her footsteps on the wooden board startled Lin Yue, only to see her stand up in a panic, stand aside, and make a look like I didn't play chess during working hours, while Lu Haoyue was indifferent, still holding on to the chess pieces, frowning, scratching her ears and cheeks, and wondering what these chess pieces with different shapes represented.
"This chess is also real, why can't you write on it like chess?"
Lin Jue had just stepped into the office at this time, he didn't pay attention to Lin Yue's strange appearance, and saw Lu Haoyue fiddling with chess pieces one by one, and sat directly in the position where Lin Yue was sitting, grabbed the black chess pieces and began to place them on the chessboard.
Lu Haoyue stared at this scene in amazement, seeing that the black chess pieces had been placed neatly, wasn't this exactly how the chess pieces were placed in the plane tree bar last night?
Lin Jue was puzzled: "Hey, Lord Lu, don't you want to play chess?"
After Lin Jue's reminder, Lu Haoyue came to her senses, she stared at Lin Jue, and asked in surprise: "You actually know how to play chess?"
"Western chess?" Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that he was used to the title of chess.
"Well, I've only played it a few times before. ”
After Lu Haoyue said it, Lin Jue realized that Lu Haoyue was still a beginner, so she shook her head helplessly, and placed her chess pieces in a fixed position.
"Hey, didn't you go to recruit those magicians, why did you come back so soon?" Lu Haoyue looked at Lin Jue suspiciously.
Lin Jue shrugged his shoulders, and while placing the chess pieces, he said, "It's done, so I'll come back." ”
Lu Haoyue was surprised: "So fast?"
Lin Jue looked out the window at the sun still hanging in mid-air, the current time, it is estimated that it is about ten o'clock in the morning, right?
Lin Jue said indifferently: "Well, it's really faster, it is estimated that it will not take an hour." ”
"How did you do that?" Lu Haoyue wondered.
Lin Jue stared at her with a strange look on his face and asked, "You really want to know?"
"Of course I want to know, an hour is too fast, and I even doubt that you put a knife on their necks and coerce them into agreeing to you. ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Of course not, don't talk about you, I feel a little ...... myself Alas, forget it, I'll tell you what happened and you'll know. ”
It turned out that early this morning, Lin Jue had just learned that these magicians had arrived in Phoenix City, and he had a plan in his heart, and he didn't even go to the Governor's Palace, so he ran to the dock as soon as he got up.
After all, they only came to Phoenix City in the middle of the night, and it was impossible to arrange a place for them to stay at that time, so they could only be wronged to stay on the Ice and Snow for another night.
In fact, at that time, these scholars were still sleeping, and Gloria didn't want to disturb them sleeping, after all, they were also tired, and they had been sleeping on an isolated island for almost three months in the winter, if it wasn't for the Ice and Snow to find them in time, it is estimated that they would have become savages, so let them sleep on the dock for one night.
Until this morning, when Lin Jue came to the deck, they didn't react, they couldn't believe it at all, they just slept and woke up and arrived at the port, which made them wonder if they were dreaming?
Lin Jue naturally told these fifteen or sixteen-year-old children the rhetoric he had already thought of before, it was nothing more than the identification of the magician level, which could also be carried out in the Eastern Continent, and there was no need to go back to the Brandon Federation or something, once the identification was completed, he could also give them a good salary, build a manor for them, and let them stay in Phoenix City to serve him.
What made Lin Jue stunned was that the attitude of these scholars was very unified, and none of them were willing to accept this generous condition, almost without thinking about it, and they all shouted to return to China.
Lin Jue's original plan was to use force to threaten them when they heard these generous treatments and their hearts were still shaken, and immediately let them decide to stay, and then call it a day.
But he didn't expect that with such generous conditions, these guys didn't even hesitate at all, and immediately refused.
"And then?" Lu Haoyue wondered: "They didn't agree, and then you came back? Could it be that you ran for nothing in this hour?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Of course it's not that simple, you listen to me first." ”
