Chapter 5: The Parallel Worlds of the Lords
When Stannis re-entered the castle hall with his head downcast, he found the others still standing there waiting for him.
It's like an NPC waiting for the protagonist to interact with them.
This may be the privilege of being a lord!
Before he could choose his lines, Robert leaned over and looked at him, "Hey, boss, how is it?
This kid knows about the witch, and he knows his true thoughts, but why didn't he remind himself that this is a dead friend, he can't be waiting to stab himself in the back!
Looking at him angrily, Robert, who knew that he was playing big, quickly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, boss, although we are not accompanied by beautiful girls, do we still have other entertainment activities to avoid the long night?" ”
"What entertainment!" Stannis asked with interest.
"That's a game of chess! We can play all night long with four wheel battles!"
Stannis almost vomited blood, he didn't come over to play this kind of mind game.
"It's fun. Robert saw his reluctance, but before he could say anything, he took Korodov to get the chessboard.
"Your Excellency, the loss of the plaything is the beginning of all collapse! The fall of great empires begins with these inconspicuous evils. Romon said in righteous words.
Playing chess can tell a lot of big truths, looking at the old man in front of him staring at a pair of eyes that hate iron but not steel, Stannis began to understand why those loyal ministers in history are annoying, these guys can always perfectly extinguish the interest of others.
Gotta find a time to kick this old fellow out of the castle!!, he made another note in his mind, but, fortunately, there was a traitor like his nemesis, 'Carrot'.
Ignoring the old man's chatter, Stannis threw his legs on the table and rested his head on his head with his hands relaxed.
But his bachelor was still there sleepless and persuading, "...... Your Excellency, now that the territory is barren and the enemy is fed, you can no longer enjoy the past year, but you should be angry and strong, and regain the glory of your family. ”
Glory?Stannis carefully looked at the interior of the castle he was in, the walls were mottled, the stones were crumbling, half of the room was in ruins, theoretically a castle, but it was almost the same as the garbage recycling station of his time, this miserable lord's life was still coveted, so he snatched it.
Lady Romon was still frustrated in his own voice, regardless of whether the other party was listening or not.
"After all, you are the last descendant of the Dragon's Blood Family in the Western Continent. ”
Stannis, who had been preached and was about to fall asleep, sat up, his mind was spinning, and soon he understood the blood flowing in this body.
The ancestor of this fellow named Stennis turned out to be the embodiment of a true dragon! If you go back up, he is not only a descendant of dragons, but also one of the heirs of the well-established Empire of Uliss, although this vast super empire has declined, it is always thousands of times better to be a mighty emperor than to be a broken lord.
"It turns out that this guy's background is so awesome. Stannis muttered to himself, it seems that the god of fate has not abandoned him, because although there are many descendants of the imperial family, they are all in Middle-earth, and in the land of the Western Continent, at least on the surface, he is the only and last true dragon son.
Stannis rubbed his hands excitedly, he had now found his goal, of course, to be the most powerful existence like all the traversers! And in this world, there is no more magnificent existence than the 'Emperor of the Illissian Empire' for the time being.
However, in order to accomplish this great goal, it is necessary to address the physiological needs of the individual.
"Boss, I'll bring you the chessboard!" called Robert, like all doglegs, in a tone that sounded like an assistant.
In fact, the traverser is not very interested in this kind of puzzle game, but to pass the time, he can only rely on this, "Okay, okay, you go first, I'll watch the battle." ”
Stannis found an excuse to prevaricate, he couldn't let anyone else find out that he didn't know how to play chess at all.
"Okay, okay!" Robert didn't mind at all, "Old man, last time you were careless and used a knight to generalize my army, this time I will kill your majesty!"
Bachelor Lomon, who was still trying to persuade Stannis not to play with his playthings just now, had already rolled up his sleeves, "You little thing wants to win me, go back to eating milk for twenty years!"
Korodov on the side was also excited, although his IQ was not enough to participate in this kind of mind game, but the focus was on participation!
Stannis propped his chin back, he didn't expect that the first night he had crossed over would be spent in this saintly movement.
Perhaps, the one in the parallel world might have a more interesting time.
