ACT002: A game given by the gods

In the world where Weiss lives, there is a magical thing called the "King Chess Game"!

Before this kind of thing appeared, according to the traverser, this was a space of "low magic and low martial arts". Although there is no shortage of elves, dwarves, and half-orcs, mages can't "move mountains and seas", warriors can't "bare hands", and such a standard "other world" doesn't even have fighting spirit, which is decisive to give a "bad review"!

Maybe it's really unpleasant to be scolded by those who poke the backbone of the crowd and scold "waste wood", or maybe the boredom brought about by eternal life sprouts the egg-painful spirit of "entertainment to death", the thirteen gods in this world who are famous for "not doing their jobs" get together and are ready to study something shocking to enrich the amateur cultural life of this world. So the people of all nationalities living in this world suddenly received an oracle......

Gods: "Mortals, rejoice, rejoice! Great we have decided to give you great power!"

Mortal: "...... (Expressionless Hokuto face)"

Gods: "...... I said, can you give me a reaction? (Khan)"

Mortal: "What do you want to do?" (with wary eyes in his eyes)

Gods: "Divine grace, just a blessing, believe us!"

Mortal: "...... (turns away)"

Gods: "Don't go, just play with us, okay?" we're so lonely!(qaq)"

God is generally unreliable, and it belongs to "common sense" here.

After more than 100 years of contemplation, the gods came up with a group game that they considered "very loving" and named it the "King Chess Game". To put it simply, it is to give some mortals with good qualifications the strength of extraordinary sanctification, and then let them team up to PK, if the gods see it and say "I am very moved", there will be "additional rewards" after the game.

Mortal: "I love your brother-in-law...... Stumble!

Ignoring all the voices that oppose it, the gods forcibly "gifted" this game to the world 500 years ago. Some of the more receptive or simply heartless guys took the initiative to be the first batch of crab eaters with the mentality of "try it out", and the gods also kept their promise to hand over their strength and pawns as status symbols to those who met their qualifications, so the first batch of "pawn owners" was born.

To use a figurative analogy, if the combat strength of ordinary people is recorded as "1 teaser", then those who have "chess pieces" have a minimum of "300 teasing", and some outstanding ones can even exceed 1,000.

It's like an old witch walking to the edge of a chicken cage and suddenly turning two of them into tigers, no matter how you look at it, it's full of malice! But mortals are just some "honest and honest" tsunderes, although they say, "I hate it to death, people are not uncommon!" But when the power is in front of him, the posture is not much better than that of a dead high school student who snaps up half-price potato chips.

The 13 gods created a total of 13 kinds of chess pieces, divided into 12 regular types and 1 special type, the same type of chess pieces will be divided into black and white because of the difference in strength, and the black one is stronger than the white.

The 12 regular pieces include knights, chariots, fortresses, swordsmen, spearmen, marksmen, assassins, gladiators, warlocks, scholars, saints, and dancers, each with its own characteristics and a certain restraint in each other. The only special chess piece, "Wang", although it is the most common one in terms of strength, as the core existence of this game, Wang can not only dominate other regular chess pieces, but also create a different dimension called "War Palace".

The game stipulates that all those who have chess pieces can form a team of up to 13 people with the king as the core, and then choose one of the three modes by drawing lots for PK. In order to reduce the damage to the real environment, the place of battle is served as the "War Court" of the king, and the realms of both sides will be randomly reorganized to form a new field.

In order to ensure the "fairness" or timely broadcast of the game, the Divine Domain will send an Angel of Justice and the Judgment Demon to serve as an overseer for each officially declared "King Chess Game", and then the gods who watch the game will consider whether to give the winner some additional "prize level" depending on the excitement of the game.

However, under normal circumstances, even if this reward can be obtained, it will also occur in various situations depending on the god of viewing. If you encounter the kind of reliable one, you may be rewarded with a ** explosive artifact, but if you have a few picky masters, you may get a bag of laundry detergent when you fight hard...... It's also in a small package!

In view of this unforeseen situation, most teams do not have any extravagant expectations for this, and what they are really interested in is the other reward, that is, the winner team can forcibly take a piece from the loser in the event of a disproportionate number, and the power of the contract certified by the gods is impossible for mortals to resist.

Once the game was launched, it was quickly "sought after" by various races. After all, if anyone resists, in addition to upsetting those cautious gods, they can't even guarantee their own safety.

The gods stipulate that any intelligent race over the age of 12 can go to the temple and pray, and they will decide on the ability to give and the pawn representing the status according to the "situation", but everyone has one and only one chance to participate in the blessing, and if they fail, even if they kneel in front of the idol, those guys will not look at it again.

Although this "game" has brought a lot of trouble to the mortal world, in a positive sense, this game that almost replaced war has also crowded out the vast majority of ordinary people, and more manpower and material resources have been invested in economic and cultural construction, which has played a very positive role in the development of civilization.

Of course, the gods certainly didn't expect this to happen, as the angels and demons who served the gods in the realm could attest, and these unruly bastards did it for fun in the first place!

“boy!next♂door!”

By the time Wess crossed over, the game of king chess had been in the world for more than 500 years, and almost everyone would go to the temple to try their luck and see if they could get a piece and then soar to the top. As far as a traverser is concerned, Weiss's learning ability and enlightenment surname are undoubtedly very good!

Originally, Weiss thought that as a traverser, he should go to the temple to pray for blessings at the age of 12, and then come back with a "bully and cool drag" chess piece, but the old drunkard asked him to wait until he was 16 years old to go. Because the old drunkard remembered that in the Duchy of Baker, where they were located, the child of the Duke's family happened to be 4 years old, and if Weiss could wait for the other party to go together when he was 12 years old, maybe he could take the opportunity to hug the thigh of the "future duke". Although Weiss didn't care, in order not to make his adoptive father angry, he finally did it.

On the day of the ceremony, the temple in the Principality area was crowded with people! In addition to the young people who participated in the "blessing", many of them were "family and friend groups" who came together to cheer for the children.

Weiss, who was alone, stood alone in the waiting area, silently observing the principality magnates on the rostrum, and then quickly summed up a rule, that is, the ranking of the principality leaders is proportional to their weight!

There is no way! The small countries of Nanfengzhou, a "chaotic land", are basically virtuous. The war, which has lasted for more than 100 years, has not only caused these countries to become complacent and widen the gap between them and the developed countries, but also bred decay and degeneration.

Those in power who lack a sense of the overall situation are like mad dogs that protect food, stubbornly guarding their own one-third of an acre of land, and living a ridiculous and extravagant life like a rich man. If Weiss had to choose, he would rather be an adventurer who has traveled all over the world than be in the same league with these fat pigs who have to be supported by others when they walk.

After the ceremony began, nearly 2,000 young people entered the shrine in four groups to pray for blessings. In line with the principle of "let the leader go first", the first batch of people who went in were basically the children of the nobility. However, the gods will not look at these rich N generations differently because their families are powerful, you must know that the ownership rate of human chess pieces is less than 0.001%, so most of the 500 or so people who entered in the first batch came out with a sad face.

As the last group of participants, Weiss came out after only a quarter of an hour of entering. When the onlookers thought that the white-haired boy was stage fright and wanted to escape, those who already had chess pieces were surprised to find that the other party was exuding a rather turbulent aura, which only appeared in those who had just obtained the chess pieces and were not very familiar with controlling their own power, which means that the other party succeeded!

As he walked out of the temple, Weiss was soon surrounded by people from all walks of life, the first of which was the official who asked him to register the chess pieces in the official name, and Weiss showed the chess pieces in order not to cause trouble, and the registrar recognized it at a glance as a black king, and immediately reported the matter to the duke.

The fact that a commoner's child gets a pawn is not in itself something to be surprised about, because it happens every year. But if it is a commoner's child who gets the "king", this matter has become very topical, at least those civilians who are eager to "counterattack" have expressed a high degree of joy about it.

After a while, the Duchess and Duchess came to Weiss and warmly invited him to the Duke's Palace. Weiss had the heart to refuse, but the group of guards with chess pieces around him never dared to open his mouth, so he reluctantly followed.

In the lavishly decorated Duke's Palace, Weiss was treated as a "VIP", not only with a sumptuous banquet, but also at the wine table, the duchess also greeted him with warmth, giving people a feeling of cordiality to the point of numbness. But no matter how enthusiastic the other party was, Weiss always had a bad premonition, and several excuses to want to leave were forced back to his seat by the other party, so he had to have an awkward drink with the duke, and then he didn't know anything.
