Chapter 17: The Game of Chess

For any suzerain, any country, or any person, it is impossible to have faith, because faith is actually a spiritual reliance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so Ling Chen doesn't hate religion, in fact, Ling Chen is still very interested in different doctrines many times, but if religion becomes a stumbling block for Ling Chen, Ling Chen is not so kind, but kindness should never be used to describe Ling Chen, having said that, it is not this foreign religion that bothers Ling Chen at this moment, he frowned, his hand kept rubbing his pendant, and his eyes stared intently at the table. Carefully picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Speaking of which, playing chess was Ling Chen's favorite form of entertainment, and he once suspected that his deep friendship with Ryufeng might have been cultivated by the two of them hurting each other on the chess court for many years. However, now he is facing different games on different boards, and different opponents.

Fei Ying was probably a little tired of waiting: "Your Highness, do I have such an essence in this step? ”

"Whether it's more or less mistakes, it's fatal. As he spoke, he finally put down the chess pieces in his hand heavily.

Fei Ying thought slowly: "Running for the prince, although His Royal Highness is the only one qualified to compete with the eldest prince, but the current His Royal Highness is far from being the opponent of the eldest prince. ”

"Merit, fame and assets. ”

"Not only that, if this is a gamble, the stakes of the eldest prince are much higher than yours, in addition to meritorious fame and assets, the current eldest prince also has His Majesty's lifting and the support of other countries. ”

Ling Chen nodded, he knew very well what kind of disadvantage he was in, and it was precisely because he was very clear that he had to look at the overall situation from the beginning.

Fei Ying Luozi: "But Your Highness is not without advantages, at least the army should be on His Highness's side, but it's a pity that it's too peaceful now, if it's still a time of war, I will even feel that the eldest prince has no advantage at all." ”

"War. Ling Chen nodded, put down the flag in his hand, this move was completely different from the previous move, and he placed it on the chessboard without hesitation. It's just a pity that the prince's power is not big enough to start a war, and the legion commander is also not, in the system of Resnot, a legion's talisman is divided into three, the king holds one, the general holds one, the legion commander holds one, a soldier rune regiment can mobilize the army, two soldiers can garrison and weave the army, and the three soldiers meet the requirements together to really mobilize the army to wage war with other countries.

"It just so happens that we have come to the Vic Sanctuary, Your Highness might as well find an opportunity to meet with the Divine Servant and strive for the support of the Sanctuary, even if it doesn't work, find a way to weaken and weaken the power of the Oath. ”

Ling Chen nodded, the Divine Service is the same as the previous saints, and it belongs to the special name of the Vic Sanctuary, the so-called Divine Service is the person who is rumored to have the qualifications to communicate with Vic, and through communication with Vic, he gives a divine decree. In other words, the supreme ruler of the Vic Sanctuary. However, since it is rumored that Vic has left, and the elves have tried countless ways to communicate with him, but there has been no response, then the so-called divine decree is really Vic's will, or is it just his own order issued by the gods in the name of the gods? This should be regarded as blasphemy in their own language, right? Ling Chen actually wanted to talk to the Supreme One, he was curious about whether he would be afraid of being punished by the gods one day if he gave an order in the name of the gods.

"As for the rest, His Highness is not in Renthnote right now. I think ......"

"Don't be merciful!" Ling Chen said, "That's why I left Ohlan!"

Fei Ying looked at the chessboard and continued to listen to Ling Chen's orders.

"I want to know how many of those who oath allegiance to him are dead to him, and how many can be shaken. If you can shake it, then shake it, if you can't, then you don't have to leave it to the oath. ”

Fei Ying nodded: "Your Highness, do you want to shuffle the cards?"

"Didn't you say that my superiority is reflected in the war, and the situation of the war is varied!"

Looking at the remnants left by Fei Ying, Ling Chen exhaled, his own advantages, Fei Ying actually ignored one point, that is, the oath did not know that he had become its enemy.

The sun rose again the next day, Ling Chen walked out of the room, and at a glance saw Ye Xiao and Phantom who were sitting in the lobby eating breakfast, and looked at their expressions, it seemed that Ye Xiao did not tell the Phantom about Ohlan. Now the thing to consider is where to find a saint to take them into the holy capital of Faluci.

After eating breakfast with Ye Xiao, the three of them drove the carriage that hauled the Liao Liao on the road again. Originally, such as the guarantee of a saint, if Liufeng was there, he must have prepared it in advance, and Ling Chen also realized that Liufeng was dead, and he still needed someone by his side who could take care of these trivial matters for him, and he didn't have extra energy to spend on these trivial things.

Thinking about it, I walked for most of the day and came to the holy capital of Faluxi, it was already in the afternoon, in order to improve efficiency, there are many gates in the capital, but there are also many queues, people in and out, looking at this posture, the scale of the population does not seem to be smaller than that of Gother. The residents are very aware of the rules, and they show their documents one after another, looking orderly. Let Ling Chen feel that the greatest credit to the Vic Sanctuary is that he has created a new language: the lingua franca, its function is to enable smooth communication between various races, after the end of the Hundred Years War, the lingua franca has also become a necessary learning course for all races, and now with the popularization of the lingua franca, basically as long as it is on this continent, there is no big problem in communicating between different races.

After a cursory observation, Ling Chen's gaze locked on the gate of the city closest to him. There are rare disputes, and the two sides of the dispute are the elf in charge of the gatekeeper and a person who can't say how luxurious he is, but he reveals an aristocratic atmosphere and a dignified and elegant temperament ~ The dog family.

Based on Ling Chen's perception of this, it should be extremely funny to be dressed like a dog man. The dog clan in this world is divided into three major categories: the dog clan, the wolf clan and the fox clan, the lowest status of these three clans is the dog clan, the reason for which is that there are many of them, and secondly, there is no strong body like a werewolf, and there is no dexterous mind of a fox, so the role of the dog clan in this world is the lowest level of labor. And the one in front of him, whether it is dress or temperament, obviously does not match his racial characteristics. It's not that Ling Chen looks down on the dog family, it's just a common perception.

"Mr. Guard, I think I have produced enough documents to prove my identity, that I am indeed a saint"

"How can a mere dog be a saint? You stole this badge, right?"

"Each badge has its name written on it, and it's a document that proves my identity!" said the canine-clansman as he took out a pamphlet and pointed, "I am indeed Dou Wo!

The guards didn't even look at it: "Dou Wo, hmph! I've seen a lot of this kind of imitation document! Don't fool me!"

"How is this foolish?" the dog clan who called himself Dou Wo was a little anxious: "This is the real thing, and it also has the signature of our Doug Lord on it!"

"What Doug Lord, if you disturb order here again, I'm going to call the guards!"

"Tell me your name! Guard, you're racist!"

"What do you want to do with a dog? Guard!!"

"Then you can shout, I want to judge you well!"

Ling Chen narrowed his eyes, walked back to Ye Xiao and the Phantom, and left, they didn't plan to enter the Holy Capital today, they just came to see the situation, probably he already had the information that Ling Chen needed.

Probably considering that the city gate separates the inside and outside of the city into two worlds, although it is outside the city, there are also streets with people coming and going, with taverns, shops, and post houses.

"Second brother, it seems that it is really troublesome to enter the city, I think we should just make our identities public, and I am afraid that there will be no saints to scold us?"

Ling Chen shook his head, he still liked to keep a low profile, although he had come to the Vic Sanctuary this time to report to King Cao Le, but he also made it clear that he was coming to consult his friend as a person. It's better not to disclose your identity unless you have to. And as for the method of entering the city, he already had a plan in mind, and watched the guests coming and going in the hall of the tavern, and after a while, he captured his goal. It was the personable canine clan just now, but at this moment, this saint who called himself Dou Wo was depressed, obviously annoyed by not being able to pass through the city gate. I saw Dou Wo ask for a glass of sake and find a table where no one was around. A man drank sullen wine.

The Phantom walked up and said kindly, "Hello, are you the saint Dou Wo?"

Dou Wo looked at the phantom curiously: "This young lady, I shouldn't know you!"

"That's right, I saw it before that there seemed to be guards who were embarrassing you, and I remembered your name when you reported it. As he spoke, he pointed to the place where Ling Chen and Ye Xiao were sitting: "We are a group of travelers. ”

Following the Phantom's pointing, Dou Wo turned around and saw Ye Xiao nodding to him in a friendly manner, Dou Wo also nodded to Ye Xiao very politely, turned around and continued to say to the Phantom: "Beautiful Miss Traveler, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"We just arrived here, I don't know the situation here, I want to visit the city, but we still need the guarantee of the saints, we don't know anyone here, we don't know any saints at all, but fortunately we saw you, I don't know if the saints can take us in. ”

Dou Wo was a little ashamed and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm happy to help you, but you also saw just now, these guards at the city gate don't recognize me as a saint at all." I can't get in, or I wouldn't be back here. ”

"Eh, it's strange, why do they disown you, Your Saint?"

"Don't call me a saint, just call me Dou Wo. The saint is really just a famous brand. Moreover, it should be regarded as the lowest status in the Vic Sanctuary. Dou Wo said, "I think you guys are from Rennot, right? Although this Vic Sanctuary is open to all races on the surface, it is actually half an elven kingdom, but the elves secretly dislike us orcs, especially our canine clan. ”

"Why is that?"

"One of the proudest things about elves is to teach magic to other creatures, but our orcs are not very sensitive to magic elements by nature, so it is very difficult to learn magic, plus, the difference between our canine voice and elves is very huge, and magic is a lot of elven language, many syllables we can't pronounce normally, so basically there are few orc magicians, and our canines are almost none, since then the elves have looked down on us orcs, and after the Hundred Years War, the orcs are actually the most ferocious in battle, and just after a few wars of the orcs, Vic just leftMany elves thought that we Vic off, and the elves have been disgusted with us orcs ever since. ”

"Vic is too cautious, too. ”

"Shhh

"Then Dou Wo, what are you here for?"

Dou Wo said with some pride in his tone: "Although I am a canine clan, in fact, I am still a magician, this time I came to the Holy Capital of Faluxi, in fact, to take the magician exam!"
