By the time Espurna left the underground ruins, it was indeed noon. Master Juta sent her away from here and turned back, and Espena said goodbye to Master Yuta and headed to the school hall.

When Aspuna arrived in the auditorium, she saw that Yi Tianshu, Faisali, and Kimiro had not moved a single bite of their meal. Espena was a little surprised when she saw this, and walked over.

At this time, Yi Tianshu saw a glimmer of light flashing in Aspna's eyes, and then said in surprise: "Aspna! Where did you go in the morning? I've searched all over but I can't find you. Even looking at the map of the school didn't see you, where did you go? ”

Ai Aspna looked at Yi Tianshu and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Yi Tianshu? I went to train with Master Juta. Did something happen? ”

Speaking of this, Faisali said a little depressedly: "Yi Tianshu is looking for you crazy, especially when he sees that your name is not on the school map, he thinks something is wrong with you." ”

Espurna couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard this, and then sat opposite Yi Tianshu and looked at him with a smile and said, "Isn't it good for me?" By the way, Yi Tianshu, what are you looking for me for? ”

Yi Tianshu nodded and said, "It's okay, you don't know, Professor Cardena announced two major news in the morning. Espurna asked curiously, "What's the news?" ”

At this time, Faisali said with some concern: "Two, one is that all activities in the club will be cancelled from now on, and the club cup that was originally a few months later will be postponed for a year to avoid conflict with the magic cup." The second ......" said this, Faisali was silent.

Seeing this, Kimiro hurriedly said: "The second is that Professor Kadena announced that the school's final exams for this semester will be stopped, and the school will reclassify the curriculum. ”

Speaking of this, Aspna found that the faces of the three of them had become very solemn, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this, and asked curiously, "Why?" Isn't it a great pleasure not to take exams? Why is it so dignified? ”

Faisali looked at Espurna and shook her head helplessly, saying, "I've heard Elima say that this has never happened before, at least during her eight years of study. ”

At this point, Faisali suddenly whispered, "I heard her say that something must be a demon when things go wrong, and she suspects that something must have happened at the school, or something is going to happen." ”

Espurna couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Faisali, could it be related to the Ministry of Magic and your hometown of the Kingdom of Igat?" Yi Tianshu nodded when he heard this and said, "Indeed, I am also very worried. I wonder if the Ministry of Magic will cause any problems again. ”

Kimiro patted his chest without saying a word and said, "Faisali! Don't worry, I'll protect you! With me, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't dare to do anything. ”

Faisali looked at Kimiro and shook her head helplessly and said, "Big talk, this matter is very serious. ”

At this time, Yi Tianshu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, maybe it's just for simple adjustment, maybe it's also maybe." It's time to eat, it's time to drink. ”

After lunch, the four of them were still in the auditorium, and they didn't think about where to go in the afternoon. Espurna held her chin in her hands and pouted at the clouds outside the auditorium window.

At this time, Yi Tianshu suddenly thought of something and suddenly said: "Let's play wizard chess together!" Espurna nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I haven't played wizard chess for a long time." ”

Kimiro looked at Yi Tianshu and said with a smile: "The last time I fought with you, it seems that it was before the Chinese New Year, and the last time I was tricked by you, you will definitely not succeed this time!" Hahaha! ”

But this is how Aspuna found Faisali depressed and worried.

Espurna asked, "Faisali?" What happened to you? You won't still be worried about your hometown. Faisali just nodded faintly and did not speak.

Seeing this, Kimiro said, "It's okay, Faisali, don't worry, there's no threat to the Ministry of Magic's waste. Faisali looked at Kimiro and smiled but didn't speak, but Aspuna could still see worry in her eyes.

Espurna asked, "Faisali?" Are you worried that your country won't be able to beat the Ministry of Magic? ”

Hearing this, Faisali looked at Aspuna and said solemnly, "The Praetorian Guard of the Kingdom of Ijat is invincible, and the Ministry of Magic's defensive ability is as fragile as paper in front of them. I'm just ......" said Faisali, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I'm worried...... Ay...... I am worried that if there is a war, how many people will be separated from their wives, husbands will lose their sons, wives will lose their husbands, and lovers will lose their lovers......

War only gives rise to hatred, endless hatred. Permanent Anger...... So we Ijath have always tried to resolve conflicts through communication diplomacy, but why does the Ministry of Magic always use force to resolve conflicts? I really don't understand......"

Yi Tianshu thought for a while and said, "Faisali, you don't have to worry too much, after all, the Ministry of Magic used to stir up trouble everywhere, and I heard that it had also provoked the Northern Kingdom before. ”

Kimiro nodded when he heard this, and said: "Our Ice Queen is not used to this group of guys at all, and directly sent the bear mage over and captured all the more than 100 people who made trouble, and this group of people from the Ministry of Magic are honest in an instant." The Ice Queen brought them back to the negotiating table in one fell swoop. At this point, Kimiro's eyes were full of adoration.

Yi Tianshu said slowly: "It's true, the Ministry of Magic likes to provoke every time, but in the end, there are often people who fight back. Cooperating with you on one side and secretly sabotaging you on the other side is really a rogue act. ”

At this time, Yi Tianshu said in a slightly mocking tone: "What's particularly funny is that every time they fail, their magic federation will re-select the leader from those magic ministers, and then the new leader will always blame the previous one." ”

Speaking of this, Yi Tianshu looked at Faisali and said, "Okay, don't worry, although the situation is tense now, as long as your kingdom does not compromise, they will not dare to gain an inch." The Ministry of Magic has always bullied the weak and feared the hard. ”

Faisali was still a little worried when she heard this, and Espurna immediately got up and pulled Faisali up, and then said, "Alright, alright, don't think so much. I'm sure your parents don't want you to be so sad every day, so let's play chess together. Saying that, Espurna looked at Yi Tianshu and Kimiro and said, "You guys also bring the wizard chess, and we will play here together in a while." With that, he got up and dragged Faisari back to the dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, Espurna hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets to find her own wizard chessboard, and finally found her wizard chess in the box under the bed.

Espurna looked at the dusty wizard chess in her hand and blew it with her mouth. In an instant, a cloud of dust was blown up, and Aspuna coughed.

Then she looked up and saw Fesally take out a blue heraldic box from the drawer, and Espurna asked with some curiosity, "Faisali?" What's that box of yours? Could it be wizard chess? Faisali looked at the box in her hand, smiled at Espurna and said, "Yes, this is a box for wizards' chess." ”

After saying that, he and Aspuna went to the school auditorium together.

When the two of them arrived at the auditorium, Yi Tianshu and Kimiro were already waiting there. When they saw Espena and Faisally coming, they waved them over, and Espurna and Fisally trotted over.

When the two sat down, the four of them took out their respective wizard chess pieces.

Espena looked at their respective boards.

Her own is a wizard's chessboard of green agate stone and white jade.

Faisally took out a white gold ruby wizard chessboard from the blue heraldic box.

Yi Tianshu is a wood grain with jadeite.

Kimiro is a sapphire wizard chessboard made of white armor.

At this time, Yi Tianshu said: "Okay, then let's follow the traditional four-player gameplay, first play two by two, and then the winner will play." ”

Upon hearing Yi Tianshu say this, Espuna, Faisali, and Kimiro nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yi Tianshu clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Okay, then who will compete with me?" Hearing Yi Tianshu say this, Kimiro said without hesitation: "I don't play with you, you guy is very bad." He looked at Faisari and smiled, "I'm going to play with Faisari." ”

Faisali blushed, then turned her head and pretended to be dismissive and said, "Hmph, it's up to you?" With that, he agreed to fight Kimiro. Seeing this, Espurna shrugged her shoulders and then looked at Yi Tianshu and said, "Okay, I'll just make two moves with you, a bad guy." ”

As he spoke, he pointed the chessboard at Yi Tianshu, who smiled and merged his own chessboard with Aspna's.

I saw that at the border of the two chessboards, a slight white light appeared, and then the chess pieces in the corresponding positions appeared on the chessboards of both sides.

To Estuna's surprise, Yi Tianshu's chess pieces have the characteristics of Oriental Middle-earth, which are completely different from her own.

Then Espena asked, "Okay, which of us will go first?" Yi Tianshu stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Lady first." ”

Espena smiled at this, then looked at the pieces on her board and said in a commanding tone, "I use white!" ”

At the sound of an order, I saw Epna's chess pieces turn around, and the original agate-colored chess pieces instantly turned white.

Seeing this, Yi Tianshu said solemnly: "I use black chess. I saw his chess pieces turn around and change into black armor one after another.

Immediately after that, Espena and Yi Tianshu bowed to each other, and the wizard chess game officially began.

Espena said solemnly: "White soldier! E2 to E4".

Yi Tianshu said seriously: "Black pawn! E7 to E5"

"White Squire! F1 to D5"

"Black pawns! C7 to C6! ”

When the black pawn came to the position of C6, he suddenly pulled out his scimitar and held his shield at the white guard, who held the long sword and waited for him.

As the battle progressed, Espurna found herself gradually falling behind, as if she could predict it no matter how she went down.

At this time, Yi Tianshu suddenly said: "E5 black pawn eats the white castle!" I saw the black pawn rush towards the white castle, and the castle turned into a stone giant and swung his fist to attack the black pawn, only to see the black pawn turn around and cut off the stone giant's head. Then he looked at the white king with his scimitar in hand.

Yi Tianshu smiled and said, "General." ”

When Espena heard this, she looked at the situation on the chess board with a serious expression, and then said, "The White King eats the black pawn!" I saw that the White King suddenly picked up the bench and rushed towards the black pawn, and before the black pawn could react, the White King smashed the black pawn with the bench in an instant.

At this time, Yi Tianshu smiled and said, "Black Queen to B2 General!" ”

Espena instantly understood, and then she looked at Yi Tianshu and said resentfully, "You!! You're cheating me!! You're a bad person. Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "Hahaha, soldiers are not tired of cheating. Surrender, Espuna. ”

Espena looked carefully at the chessboard, making sure that there was no way to break the game, and then said, "The White King surrenders." I saw the White King suddenly pick the crown on his head and break it to pieces.

"Humph!" Espurna turned her head to the side angrily, and Yi Tianshu smiled when she saw this: "You are just a little bit worse this time, you will definitely win me next time, hehe." ”

Ai Aspuna glanced at Yi Tianshu, then snorted angrily, and then looked to the side.

Then Espurna saw Kimiro digging at his own hair, looking at the chessboard in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

I saw that all but one black servant and one black king on his chessboard were all wiped out by Faisali. And Faisali actually lost only five white soldiers!!

Faisali smiled and said, "Well, my next target is to eat your black squire." Espurna looked at their chess pieces and saw that their chess pieces were very special to their respective regions. In particular, the two guards, Kimiro's squire is a two-handed axe, and Faisali's squire is a kobold with a scimitar axe.

At this time, she only heard Faisali say, "White Knight! Destroy the Blackservants! I saw the white knight slam the javelin right in the chest of the black knight, instantly smashing him to pieces.

Seeing this, Kimiro rubbed his own hair depressedly and said, "Ahhhhh You're too cruel!! Beat me to nothing!! You're going to checkmate me!! ”

Espurna smiled and tilted her head and said with a smile, "The next step is to kill you, hehe." ”

Indeed, as Faisali said, the next step was to checkmate Kimiro to death. Kimiro was forced to admit defeat, and then looked at Espena and Yi Tianshu depressedly and asked, "You two, who won?" ”

Yi Tianshu smiled and said, "Of course I won." Ai Aspuna glanced at Yi Tianshu, "Hmph! He sighed, then turned his head to look to the side.

At this time, Faisali separated her own chessboard from Kimiro's, and then smiled at Yi Tianshu and said, "Okay, Yi Tianshu, accept my challenge!" Don't let me down! ”

Yi Tianshu nodded, also separated the chessboard from Espurna, and then objected to Faisali, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I'll give you a glimpse of my chess skills in Middle-earth. ”

As the two boards come together, both sides bow, and the game officially begins.
