"I'm sorry, I hope you understand what I mean, I don't think it's a game to talk loudly while competing for a drink," Magellan was not ignorant of the gods, including Brahmin games, "if that's what kind of ...... you're good at"

Su Mo laughed: "In this asceticism, the content of the game is chosen by me. ”

Magellan smiled back: "If I win, will you get out of the way?"

"If you win, you can enter the Gate of Heaven. ”

"Then let the game begin. ”

The giant god waved his arm, and the cold wind subsided.

......

"Asceticism is only one part of the Brahmin practice," said the wind god Vayu, who sat cross-legged on the ground, but nevertheless he was still far taller than the standing countess, "and the Brahmin practice, which has only one, is to try to get close to the Dharma." ”

The countess stepped forward and watched as the giant god leaned over, his palms brushing across the snow, leaving a flat surface of ice.

"There are many assuras who have attained great power through asceticism, but they have never had a good death, and that is because they have deviated from the Dharma. I took the serpent with me just to remind myself. ”

The serpent roamed around Vayu's body, occasionally highlighting Nobuko, its gaze fixed on a bead on the giant god's forehead.

The countess smiled and said nothing.

Between the two, the wind flowed between the snow and ice, and soon, small ice sculptures rose on the ice.

"All people in the world have their own position, their own abilities, and everything is arranged by the Fa-rectification, and conforming to their destiny is the basis of wisdom. ”

The ice on the ground is divided into black and white squares, and the ice sculptures placed on them are also of different shapes, as if representing different groups of people.

And only those who know these things can win. ”

Finally finished carving, he held out his hand to the countess: "This is a fair game, only wisdom determines the victory. ”

The Countess smiled, "I've seen a game that looks very similar to it, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

"This game doesn't exist outside of poison. ”

"That's true. ”

......

Magellan looked at the chessboard in front of him and smiled at Su Mo in front of him.

"I've seen something like this before. ”

"But you haven't seen this game. ”

The god smiled and raised his hand, a piece that was too small for him, but just right for Magellan, and slowly floated up.

"The rules, in many cases, are very similar to the Fa-rectification, just as only the Fa-rectification can determine the success of your austerities, and the outcome of this game depends on the rules. ”

"You're not going to tell me that rule, are you?"

Magellan didn't want to get an answer from the gods at all, he reached out and lifted a chess piece and placed it two squares ahead.

"If a mortal walks on the right path, he can take one more step, right?"

Su Mo smiled but said nothing.

It is a square chessboard, divided into sixty-four black and white squares, with sixteen pieces on each side of black and white, corresponding to each other, and the two sides are completely equal.

This is the same classic aristocratic chess that was once popular in Brittania, but Magellan knew that the two must be different.

"If you guess wrong and break the rules, you'll be judged a loss. ”

Magellan smiled and nodded: "Of course." ”

He didn't look worried.

"Now, it's your turn. ”

The giant god waved his hand slightly, and then a piece advanced two squares.

Next, it was Magellan's turn.

He took a square to the right of the piece he had just advanced and advanced a piece by two squares.

"Why are you jumping over the pieces next to you?"

Magellan laughed.

"Perhaps, one day, the rules represent the interaction between mortals, so I chose a piece farther away, originally I was not sure, but since you said so, it means that the rule I just avoided does exist. ”

The giant god smiled and pushed the pieces again, one square apart from the two pieces, just like Magellan.

Next, Magellan and Sumo did the same thing, pushing all the pieces that could move forward two squares.

Then, there is Magellan's round.

Su Mo laughed, he raised his wine glass, and drank it dry in one gulp.

Magellan then pushed the piece, which had already advanced two squares, forward one more square.

The smile on the titan's face vanished.

Magellan smiled and raised the index finger of his right hand: "When I know that there is a trap, the threat of the trap has been reduced to a minimum, so ......"

Su Mo didn't say anything, he raised his left hand, and a chess piece that remained in place advanced one square.

"What does this symbolize in the right path?"

The giant god was silent for a moment, but finally did not answer.

"It should mean that if mortals are too close, they will inevitably hinder each other. ”

Magellan said, copying Su Mo's way of doing it.

Then the two sides once again completed a mirror advance, but one of Magellan's pawns went deep alone and had already encountered Sumo's pawn.

Su Mo raised his hand, and a chess piece that had always been quietly left at the back walked diagonally through three squares, replacing the piece belonging to Magellan that was alone in the depths.

"It's scary, so mortals shouldn't be on the battlefield, right?"

"No," Su Mo was not silent this time, it seemed that he was in a good mood, "Anyone who goes to the battlefield can be counted as a warrior, but it is different after all." ”

This is the right way. ”

Magellan nodded, and put the chess piece corresponding to the chess piece that Su Mo had just moved on his side to the front line in the way of walking diagonally.

"I can give you a chance to go back. ”

Su Mo had a meaningful smile on his face.

"There must be one of the right paths, and that is that the choices made cannot be reversed. ”

The god nodded, and then his newly meritorious pawn moved on, replacing the one Magellan had just moved.

"It's a shame. ”

Magellan smiled, and there was no remorse on his face at all: "It turns out that the chess pieces decide the winner in this way, and it is no different from other games I know." ”

"You paid such a price for such a simple conclusion," Su Mo was obviously a little disappointed, he didn't expect Magellan to say such a conclusion as an important gain, "It's inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"If you want to get, you have to give, and that's also the Fa-rectification. ”

As he spoke, Magellan moved the chess piece next to the piece that had just been captured, and in the style of the "knight" in classic aristocratic chess, he jumped sideways over the Japanese grid and avoided the threat of Sumo's chess piece.

"...... are you," the god groaned, looking at the incomparably small human in front of him, and began to wonder if it was just a coincidence, "How did you guess?"
