Chapter 45 · Silver Dragon

The battle of chess has been in full swing, with the five ancient chess masters pouring out of the nest, and the lord of the black serpent, Nidhogg, who leads them all, whose shadow hangs over the city like a demon.

It's already six o'clock in the afternoon, school is out, the company is off work, the traffic has reached its peak, flowing into a sea of stars, many drivers take advantage of the traffic jam, lie on their seats, watch the snowflakes gently caress the car window, but also look at the night sky farther away......

Terrible thunder and lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the dark side of the world and all demons dancing!

The Black Dragon of the Wind marches to the beat of the drums, ghostly shuttling through a world where dense forests and cities overlap, waiting for an opportunity to kill his opponent with a single blow.

In a high-end teahouse in Meguro Ward, Daoce is running his brain at a rapid pace, his eyes beating on the chessboard, looking for any points where he can exert his strength.

Looking at the big picture and attacking in an all-round way, this is exactly what he is good at.

He had many masterpieces in his life, but he mainly focused on handicap chess, the most exaggerated of which was the handicap, and the opponent was the number one master from the Ryukyus.

This is also a very funny allusion, usually, when a Ryukyu chess player visits Japan to play a game, he will be given three pieces by Japan's number one player, and the reason why this game gives four pieces is because ..... At that time, the minister who received the Ryukyu chess players was so drunk that his mind went up and he placed four sunspots in the four corners of the chessboard.

After putting it out, this guy regretted it, and felt that he had put it too much, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth and let one less, although this was just a game of chess, but it was also an important diplomatic occasion.

So Dao Ce could only take it calmly, and went to the ground again, and won the game under the pressure of hellish difficulty.

When a chess player is alive, there are always some chess games that have to be fought hard!

“10、9、8......” The countdown has begun! The pressure of rapid chess battles is instant!

The spark of chess sense flashed in his consciousness, and supplemented by the power of eclectic calculations, he fell in an instant!

[Wind Black Dragon] descends from the sky, and the tail thorn pierces the black warrior like a poisonous scorpion!

In the middle of the board, a sharp point stab hits the break point of the white piece, and a set of delicate tesuji cuts off the whole piece!

Got it!

"What?" Xuanyu spoke coldly, as if she was helping the other party read out the remaining words.

Xuanyu landed with a backhand, and the blade slashed out from the bottom up, and the evil cherry-like sword light engulfed the shoulder blades of the [Wind Black Dragon].

It is also a set of breaking techniques, through the volley of a chess piece, forcibly drag the opponent into a difficult robbery, in order to avoid this robbery, Dao Ce seems to have to take the initiative to disconnect himself, forming two lone chess, and the opponent is in the same situation to attack.

"Nani?" Dao Ce was stunned.

In his plan diagram, it should be that he chicly broke the opponent's big dragon and attacked each other left and right, but he didn't expect that the opponent's computing power and reaction seemed to be not weaker than his own, and he turned the plan diagram with his backhand, revealing a clean page and continuing to draw.

Can this game still be played?

Just as he was about to study tactics further, there was a sudden tremor on the ground.

This is the shaking caused by other battlefields.....

A crack spread across the ground, and then the entire ground collapsed, and two sturdy figures jumped up from the depths of the ground, and the screams of metal pierced through the barrier!

Shura, [Xuanwu Black Dragon]! Both of them went to the other tables!

The wrestling between the two was interrupted in mid-air, and with the help of the inertia of each other, both sides landed peacefully on the ground, waiting for the next opportunity to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"Xiuce, are you alright?" Dawce asked.

"I'm fine...... I was going to say that, but after thinking about it, I forgot about it. Xiuce smiled bitterly.

Countless knife marks were engraved on its scales, and each knife mark was emitted with mist, like a chemical reaction after sulfuric acid corrosion, you can imagine how powerful the person he played against was, and what a wonderful killing game it was.

"Although my side was badly damaged, the other side's side was not very good." [Xuanwu Black Dragon] raised his shield again, and a cross star scar was deeply seared on it, as if it had been bitten by a wild beast.

Dao Ce looked at the other side, the ghostly Shura was covered in colors, obviously giving people a dying feeling, but he was extremely excited and bloodthirsty.

"This group of people is really interesting, and this is probably the happiest chess game we have played since we came to this era." Dautzer smiled.

Xiu Ce also snorted coldly.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides seemed to form a 2V2, shoulder to shoulder with their teammates, and put on a charging posture side by side.

The snowy night in Tokyo continues to burn.

On the other side of the city, Harushima Kazuzushin sat with bated breath, the deep night snow stretching out the window, as if nothing could be burned here.

Although the two of them did not fall into the game, the star position of the chessboard has been occupied by staggered black and white, which is the rule of the seat, a unique product of the medieval game of Go.

"This game, the second women's cup final, trilogy, the rules are the rules of the Middle and Ancient Go, the first side is six and a half meshes, the reserve time is one hour, and the second count is 3×30." Speak solemnly, looking at each other at eye level.

"There's no objection, but you're missing a link." Harushima Deer also replied with the same gaze, from this moment on, the two are already face-to-face opponents, and the parent-child project has to be put aside for the time being.

"What's the link?" I was stunned.

"You haven't introduced the names of both contestants."

"Ah......h I always feel embarrassed to pronounce my name......"

"Then it's up to me to read it, the two sides of the game, Harumhima Deer Kudan and ...... Harushima is one heart and nine sections. Harushima's eyes never fluctuated.

The moment the correct name was remembered, Yixin's pupils suddenly enlarged, and then a smile hooked up on his mouth: "You little girl..... I'm really getting better at playing! ”

After a few short breaths of breathing with their eyes closed, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time in tacit understanding, and the coercion of battle intent instantly filled the classroom.

The white pieces were removed like a dragon sucking water, and then a gravity struck the board...... According to the rules of the Middle Go, it was indeed white that went first.

In fact, Go was first invented, that is, black moves first, but during the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what happened, it suddenly became white chess first, and the Qing Dynasty also retained this rule.

This game, single-minded white chess.

When the first piece falls, the storm sweeps in with the dragon's might!

Under the cover of night, the magnificent dragon Bashu unfolded his vigorous posture and rose from the ground!

A chaotic sense of dizziness burst into Harujima's brain, as if it was falling...... But she quickly gained her footing in the fall, looking up at the scene before her.

It was a silvery-white dragon!

【Silver Dragon!】 】

[Thirteen paragraphs in the middle game! 】

Harushima Deer stared blankly at the behemoth in front of him, and his whole body was shrouded in its holiness and nobility.

It is not a Western-style "Doragon", but a Chinese-style long dragon......

Real ...... Dragon!

"What the hell is this ......."

An incredible look was written all over Harushima's face.

He had heard Ke Zhiguang and Xing marry describe these ancient chess players, describing them as black snakes, and allusions to Norse mythology, in short, a lot of mess...... One thing to say, this made her a little unhappy, after all, these two people in her team could see those strange things, but she couldn't, and she felt that her status was being challenged.

As for why she can suddenly see it now...... It may have something to do with the fact that the other party is her father, and some kind of power from blood is assisting her..... That's what it means, right?

And, the fan in her hand of the "first person of the female stream", this fan from Ke Zhiguang's hand, is still playing a role as a magic stick.

Thinking so, Harushima deer unconsciously clenched the fan.

"Remember what I once said to you, when one day you become a dragon, you can also see the universe." As soon as she spoke, she seemed to be standing on a high place, with overlooking pride in her eyes.

"Of course, I still remember that at that time, I just thought that you were talking crazy things every day, and now ...... I've begun to be curious about the universe you're talking about. Harushima looked up at the other and spoke, two ponytails shaking off the back of his head like flying wings.

"That's good."

As he spoke, he raised his gaze behind Harushima Deer...... The towering and majestic dragon pillar was the last chain that bound it.

The dragon on the dragon pillar seemed to smell blood in its sleep, and the dragon's pupils opened open, and the first thing he saw was the silver dragon entrenched above the dense forest..... That's a rare kind of oneself.

On the top of Tokyo Tower, Ke Zhiguang also subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of Shinjuku District, the bright silver dragon and the gray dragon on the lock dragon pillar that had not yet revealed its own color seemed to usher in an epic confrontation between the two dragons.

"Huang Longshi, whose real name is Huang Qiu, this kind of thing is actually said to be a white snake, and it can only be transformed into a dragon by tempering it, a white holy dragon." Night God Kunikyo's gaze also fell on that side.

Ke Zhiguang originally wanted to complain about why the others were black dragons, and only Yixin was white, but after thinking about it, this kind of small complaint that ruined the atmosphere was still forgotten.

Because he is Harushima Isshin, a Huanglongshi, a traveler from the motherland, and a person who has been favored by the gods, the particularity is self-evident.

What's more, he is the father of the deer on the island of Haru, and every father will always sacrifice his most handsome and expensive outfit when he meets his daughter.

But Ke Zhiguang still has a point that he wants to complain: "Speaking of which, in the end, Go is still an oriental art, you look at this, the dragons in the east are all decent, and the Western-style dragons have all been dragged away as villains." ”

It's a pity that I thought that the dragon of One Heart was a two-headed dragon, and suddenly there was a lot less fun...... Ahem.

The sound of chess pieces reverberates in the empty classroom, combined with the snow scene outside the window, which will give many people who don't know about Go the illusion of a beautiful artistic conception.

And the fact is that the fight has begun!

Seventeen hands! The white chess pieces flew out diagonally from the lower right corner!

Forcing the border to control the edge!

That's right, forcing the border to control the side is the ancient name of this chess, and the source is "Yili Zhigui", and only the ancients were interested in fixing these names that sound very powerful.

Of course, the name of the ancient Japanese chess is even more nonsense, and Dao Ce once had a set of local methods called "Wolong Ascension", but in fact, there are only three hands in total.

The silver dragon slammed into the air, crashing into the dragon pillar like a crescent moon!

Eighteen, block!

Nineteen, Spire! Twenty, the next wrench!

A magnificent battle kicks off in the bottom right corner!

From the very beginning, each hand of chess fell with the ancient meaning of Chinese, as if the game between the two was not played in a primary school classroom in modern Japan, but moved to a palace during the Tang Dynasty, where the red curtain was cut open by a sharp sword and the candle flame was blown out by the light of the sword.

Knowing in advance that the rules of the game would be played in ancient chess, Harushima Deer has been studying ancient records lately.

The formula and opening of the ancient score are far from the modern ones, but the time is pressing, and she doesn't have time to spend time and create her own routines, so she simply follows the ancient beginning.

She and Yixin reached a tacit consensus on this point, the opening game hangs the corner, the big fly guards the corner, the star side is pressed, and every move is called art, giving the viewer the illusion of traveling through a time and space tunnel.

Speaking of which, Harushima Deer remembered the chess joke from almost a year ago-

[Ke Zhiguang came to the fork in the road between art and competition, he wittily exchanged the signs at the two intersections, and then drove the car to the "art" side.

Immediately after, Harushima Deer also came to this fork in the road, she looked at the road sign, and drove the car to the "athletic" side. 】

- That's a gem, isn't it? It's been almost a year, and it's still outdated!

White made twenty-seven moves, and a wrench was strangled directly above the black chess, and it was at this moment that Harushima Shika's shoulders shook.

Every wrench means a breakpoint.....

Break it off!

Cutting sparks blew across the board, and the sudden surge of heat seemed to melt the snow outside the window.

"Too impatient, like this...... I can't break that last chain. Yixin's voice took on a layer of illusion, caressing the ears of the Harishima deer.

Thirty-nine hands, an unexpected single retreat fell from Yixin's fingertips, and the entire part quickly cooled down!

An icefall-like breath roared out of the silver dragon's throat!

In the cold, the frozen cocoon vines locked the dragon pillar, and the dragon claws that were about to burst were welded to the stone pillar by ice in the next instant.

The gray dragon raised its head and stared silently at the silver dragon soaring in mid-air, its eyes burning with haughty flames.

In front of the chessboard, Harushima Deer had unconsciously entered a state of thinking, her pupils began to retract, her computing power began to deepen, and the entire chessboard was her domain.

Outside the window, the light of the fires rising into the sky rose and fell, and the earthquake trembled, but it did not affect her thoughts in the slightest, and could not even attract her attention.

Finally, when the long exam was over, she drew out her chess pieces like a sword-

Seventy-sixth, a new breakpoint, continue to break up!
