Chapter Fifty-Eight: Huarong Dao and the Library

"What is this?" everyone was puzzled.

Tang Qi blew off the sawdust, and was very satisfied with the carving: "According to the drawings, this is called Huarong Dao, which is a kind of arithmetic deduction chess." Legend has it that Huarong Dao is a place name in the Age of Magic, and the largest square represents a king in the Age of Magic, and the others are enemy knights and soldiers who hinder his escape......"

Tang Qi explained the rules and allusions of Huarong Dao in the style of the Magic Age.

"What's the point of this, ridiculous, the inside of the maze ball is as cumbersome as a leaf vein, there are hundreds of roads, hundreds of wrong roads and hundreds of dead ends, even a wise man will take a long time to get the ball out, you dare to say that these few pieces of broken wood are better than the maze ball. Winelli said dismissively.

"Although the maze ball is complicated, it is a test of patience, as long as there is patience, even a 3-year-old child can get the ball out of the maze. Huarong Dao is different, it takes enough wisdom to get the king out under the constantly moving wooden blocks. Tang Qi explained.

Huarong Dao is an ancient puzzle game in China, with its varied and tireless characteristics, together with the Rubik's Cube and independent diamond chess, it is called "three incredible in the world of intellectual games", an absolute classic.

Winelli looked at the big slap, a few squares, and said disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this, you can let him out with just two clicks." ”

"Yes, then young master, you can try. Tang Qi casually swung a classic horizontal knife and handed it to Winelli.

After taking over, Winelli was full of confidence and played with Huarong Dao, this simple toy was simply an insult to his wisdom.

However......

Half an hour passed, Veneli's forehead was covered with drops of sweat, his expression became more and more irritable, and the strength of the wooden block increased.

"Damn! Why can't this king get out!" Winelli said angrily, and endured not to break Huarong Dao, and said angrily: "Are you lying to me, this can't get out at all." ”

"Of course you can get out. Tang Qi didn't say much, asked Veneli to pass Huarong Dao, and untied the game in three or two under the gaze of everyone, and took out the king under Winelli's stunned eyes, "This Huarong Dao is different from the maze ball, you can't win with patience and brute force alone." ”

"You!"

Joddell laughed happily: "That's right! The gift prepared by our Winter family, of course, respects the wisdom of His Excellency Ferdinand, unlike your gift, it is estimated that a pig can crack the ball if it spins." ”

"Why, smashing your maze ball, I don't want the Marquis of Orcas to lose face, although the way is a bit wrong, but the essence is good, you just sue Your Majesty, Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

Looking at Jodle's arrogant expression, Winelli's face turned blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to attack, he didn't have a handle, he was looking for trouble, he was humiliating himself.

In the end, he glared at Tang Qi fiercely, flicked his sleeves and left with the guard. Winelli left, Joddell glanced at the shopkeeper and told him that he would compensate for the loss, however, the boss did not leave, but looked directly at Hua Rong and said:

"Young Master Qiaodel, can this Huarong Dao be made and sold in the small shop, I am willing to pay 500 gold dragons to buy it. ”

"Get out, Huarong Dao is the treasure of the Winter family, whoever dares to sell it without permission will wait to be burned at the stake!" Joddell snorted.

The corners of Tang Qi's mouth twitched, what is the treasure of the Rin Dong family, is it obviously that I gave it, this is too shameless......

Joddell didn't seem to have forgotten Tang Qi, he grabbed Tang Qi and grinned: "Your name is Tang Qi, right, you helped me a lot this time, and we will be friends in the future." This time the death of the white pigeon, my sister's side will help you bear it. ”

Damn, Tang Qi was dumbfounded, the death of the white pigeon had nothing to do with me, okay?

No, this is too much of a loss, Tang Qi gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Second Young Master, I recently wanted to learn sword and shield skills from Matthew, but I still lack a sword, I don't know if I can borrow a sword from the family warehouse to practice?"

Matthew listened to it, his cheeks trembled, and he secretly gave a thumbs up, which was clearly asking for benefits.

Joddle was slightly stunned, was silent for a moment, and coughed: "What to borrow or not, you helped this time, and I will give you a good sword when I go back." Matthew, I'll let him take the time to teach you sword and shield skills. ”

Looking at his expression, Tang Qi always felt that something was wrong, but after saying so, he could only nod and thank him.

......

After cleaning up the white dove's carcass, Joddell carried two packets of gifts, and the group returned to the castle in a mighty manner. The gift was prepared by Jodle for his sister, and when he returned to the castle, he hurried to his sister with the gift to make amends.

Donkey talked to Matthew about the future teaching time, and then went back to the stable.

Back at the grass barn gatehouse, Tang Qi suddenly collapsed on the chair, this is more tiring than fighting with the nobles, if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he was really killed by Joddle's cunning. Be sure to stay away from this guy as much as possible in the future...... No, it's far away from all the young ladies and young masters of the Winter family, and it's probably not a good thing to run into it.

Southeast, Northwest and Joan all put down their work to see him, the children's friendship is very simple, a meal of roasted sweet potatoes made them treat Tang Qi as a partner, looking at the five children who asked for warmth, Tang Qi smiled, touched their heads, and told them not to worry.

The death of the white pigeon made Xiaobei a little scared, the white pigeon was taken care of by him, and now that he died suddenly, he was worried that the little lady would trouble him. In this regard, Tang Qi is also very helpless, although Jodle said that he will bear the death of the white pigeon, but this guy's words are not credible is one thing.

Originally, the five of them came to comfort Tang Qi, but instead they comforted them, and Tang Qi couldn't cry or laugh.

Lunch was delivered from the kitchen, which seemed to Tang Qi to be very rich, and after eating and drinking around the stove, he planned to go to the library during his lunch break. The thought of a meditation book waiting for him in the library made Tang Qi's heart itch.

The library is the deepest building in the castle, a ten-story tower that is second only to the main building. The first to third floors of the tower are libraries, the first floor is open at any time, the second floor requires a handwritten message, and the upper floor is the forbidden land.

"Name, proof?" The caretaker of the library was an old woman with glasses and still flipping through a book as she spoke.

"Donch. ”

Tang Qi took out the identity card, and after the old woman looked at it, she pulled the string on the side of the table, and the library door opened a gap for one person to enter. After Tang Qi thanked him, he couldn't wait to enter the library.

The library is very large, the walls have irregular windows, the lighting effect is very good, the heavy shelves exude the smell of ink, and Tang Qi's eyes sweep the rows of books brightly.

The books on the first floor are open at any time, but that doesn't mean they're not important, these books have a wide range of categories and are of high value, and probably only the century-old Winter family can collect so many books.

If you have time, be sure to come and read it.

Tang Qi walked through the bookshelves, walked to the staircase at the end, and ascended to the second floor.

As soon as he walked into the second floor, suddenly a surging source power rushed to his face, Tang Qi subconsciously took half a step back, looked fixedly, and took a slight breath......
