Chapter 1: A game of intricacies
Syllable! Sincere! Bang!
"I say, Hogg, think a little more clearly."
Now, it is the king's time to be on duty, that is, the current king Charles does not sit on a throne as high as a mountain and listen to such annoying reports over and over again, and of course answer them one by one.
How boring, how useless, how powerless.
Magic Chess, a game for all ages, of course, also spread throughout the royal palace.
As his favorite subordinate, Hogg seemed to be closer to Charlie than the average squire, and he was sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, acting as Charlie's opponent.
"I'm just a rough man, of course I can't get you down." Hogg smiled, raised the chess piece representing the [Evil Spirit] in his hand, and saw the long strip-shaped evil spirit wearing a crown of thorns stretching its sickle-like arms rudely, and it was visible to the naked eye that its body was rapidly expanding!
Boom!
It grinned, its body trembling, and as if it had inadvertently floated behind the [human] of the flesh and blood creature camp!
It wielded its extremely sharp scythe!
In an instant, the cold burst out!
"Oops, it's too murderous." The corners of Charlie's mouth twitched slightly, and he also picked up a chess piece with his index and middle fingers, and slapped it in front of the chess piece representing humanity.
It was a wolf-like orc with a shield held aloft.
It gritted its teeth, its eyes flashed with flames, and its arm muscles bulged, and it actually blocked this fatal blow!
Immediately, the human on the chessboard raised the staff he held in his right hand, and the tip of the staff also burst out in time with clusters of magical light spots, and when the evil spirit was caught off guard, the magic bullets had already smashed on its body!
The evil spirit's body ate all the bullets, and like ants gnawing at it, its body began to disintegrate and dissipate rapidly, and finally turned into a pool of gray-black powder, piled up on both sides of the chessboard.
"I'm always so careless, magic chess, although I'm not very good at it, but if I play too much, I will always find some ways......" Charlie supported his chin with his hand, raised his eyebrows, and watched the situation quickly fall to his side.
"I'm still inferior to you." Hogg spread his hands, and without the initiative of the evil spirit, the position of the rune creatures was rapidly being lost.
"Heh......" Charlie raised his eyebrows and took a sip of the wine at hand, "How's it going?" ”
"The instructions have been completed, and as for how to do it, it is their business, and it has nothing to do with us. Of course, there will be measure. Hogg gently restored the pieces on the table and replied softly.
"Very well, now it's up to us to see what the orc rebellion will look like." Charlie clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled nonchalantly, "Orcs ...... such things"
"Your move was wise."
"Don't say that, I've always been a madman." Charlie's facial muscles twitched suddenly, and half a struggle flashed in his eyes, "But for the sake of this strength, you need to be patient...... This position of the king has to sit down. ”
It looks naïve, but that's what he wants, and he has to.
His vision was simple, to achieve something that Yaris had never achieved in the past—to unify the whole of Kajah with his own hands.
The Yaris system is inherently divided, and this is why the Vatican is called the "Capital of Nations", and if one is not careful, this fragile machine will soon fall apart.
Orc ...... He couldn't find any other words to describe them other than the monsters that consumed food and energy.
Therefore, their existence is only dispensable.
"In other words, someone recently said that there is a stone statue in the [Land of Desire] that can overdraft fate in advance." Charlie changed the subject, skillfully fiddling with the scattered chess game, "Hogg, what do you think?" ”
Charlie's fingertips gently stroked the golden crown above the head of the [human] chess piece, and half a joke flashed in his eyes.
Syllable! This big hand pinched the chess piece that represented itself and solemnly placed it in the center of the chessboard.
......
"[Miracle Statue]...... Alas...... Dealing with this mess again. Tara's slender white fingers were constantly flipping and playing with the crystal clear [human] chess pieces in her hand, shaking aside for a while, and turning upside down for a while, "Come early or late, come at this time, Fett, you say it's not torturous!" ”
"Ha, haha...... "Tara replied with a little embarrassment to the young man in dark gray clothes across from her, "yes...... Sister ......"
"Also, hurry up! How many games of chess have you played, and you're still grinding like this! ”
"How's the astrological cons?" Fett smiled bitterly and held up the chess piece representing the [Evil Spirit], as if he had thrown it casually.
Bang!
The brilliance of the magic power flickered, and the dry grass-like body immediately expanded, and as the magic power was distributed, a crown of thorns quickly swirled above the evil spirit's head.
"You should know." Tara pursed her lips, a half-bitter look on her face, she seemed to be thinking about what to do next, "Torture and Killing Star, the first star; Calamity, the second star. ”
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic~" Tara's younger brother smiled, as if he had found some way to break the situation, "The matter of the [Miracle Statue] can be put aside for the time being." ”
"Yes," Tara manipulated the [Demonic Creature], preparing to attack the pawns of the [Elemental Creature], "The very interesting thing is that the star occupied by the third star position is actually 'life', that is, the result of this contradiction and conflict...... Ho! It's a new lease of life! ”
"It's weird."
"yes, that's weird! I even wonder if the big book is a lie. Tara quipped, her eyes facing, "But that's all we can do. ”
"Hehe......" Fett smiled, raised the chess piece representing the [Evil Spirit] in his hand, and placed it next to the core chess piece representing [Human] in Tara's camp with lightning speed.
"I won't let you succeed~" Tara playfully blocked the [orc] chess piece facing the human between the evil spirit and the human, "Orc...... The biggest advantage is that the skin is rough and the meat is thick. ”
"But they are dull and unreasonable." Fett smiled lightly, his fingertips shaking, urging the evil spirit's pawn to flutter forward, "That is, it's easy to be deceived. ”
"That's just as well." Tara had already foreseen the outcome of this chess game, and confidently stroked her long hair, "You're going to lose again." ”
"Not necessarily." Fett cocked Erlang's legs, and his eyes flickered, "Look at it." ”
The [Evil Spirit] on the chessboard unfolded its illusory form, only to see the scarecrow with the crown of thorns stiffly raise its scythe, and the mist condensed by the rune magic continued to burst, and it had already swung out the sharp and incomparable weapon in its hand!
"Blocked...... Well? ”
Tara watched the scene on the chessboard in disbelief, even breathing slightly.
Boom!
With a soft sound, the wolf orc still raised the big shield in front of him, and between the light whistles, the sparks flew one after another, shaking the star power chessboard violently!
This chess piece was involuntarily thrown backwards under this huge force!
"How is that possible...... This ......" Tara looked at Fett, who was slightly startled in front of her, and covered her lips, stroking them as if they were off the ground.
The chess pieces representing the orcs fell the top of the head of the [human]!
Suddenly, the stone chips flew and the shining crown shattered into powder, and as the human face shattered, his robe, his arms, his body, and his legs began to crumble one after another!
The [orc] chess piece looked at the broken chess piece under him in a slightly confused way, and finally lowered his head along with the other flesh creatures.
This is how it ended...... Yes.
"You ......" Tara gazed at the face of her own brother, Fett Sarenwell, with a dull and sad expression.
"What's wrong?" Feit laughed, and gently stroked a thick black gemstone ring on his hand, engraved with a noble and mysterious six-pointed star, which at this time showed its essential beauty in a pure and simple way.
"I've won." He said with a grin.
"yes, you won, make a note of this one." Tara's lips opened, and between the words, there were two more hesitations.
"Haha, of course I'm going to make a note of it! Sister, I'm so lucky this time! He let out a cheerful cry, patted his chess mate, and stood up, ready to leave.
Tara looked into Fett's eyes quietly, and from the bottom up, she felt a unique sense of oppression: "Don't touch Marshall, do what you have to do." ”
"Why did you suddenly talk about such a thing...... "Fett said stupidly, "and besides, I wouldn't be involved in such a thing myself." Okay, okay! I'll keep an eye out. ”
The second half of the sentence was temporarily added because of his sister's murderous eyes.
"We're just substitutes, and I don't want us to be so tired. It's for me, and it's for you. ”
"I see."
......
At night, the Dream Division and the Orc Management Division are brightly lit.
It's an emergency, and we can't let up for a moment.
Tired personnel are quickly dismounted, and after trimming, it is the rotation of the upper value.
As for the employees in the core of the company, they should be present around the clock.
Take Sheldon, for example, and of course his "son", Merlin.
Martin went to sleep in the staff quarters, and Sheldon and Merlin had to stay until the end of the night shift, that is, until nine o'clock.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they had to show off their skills against a pair of magic chess pieces on the table.
Sheldon is mainly on temporary standby, and if Peman has something to tell him, he can arrive in time to give him some help.
"I'm definitely not going to lose to you this time!" Merlin pouted angrily, holding the hourglass that distributed the magic in his hand, pinching the sand and gravel in it little by little, pouring his heart and soul into the pawn that belonged to the nightmare.
"Haha, in this way, you still have to lose, and the most important thing is to have a balanced match." Sheldon pinched his chin and raised his chess piece, slamming the old black-and-white chessboard.
"Humph! This time, no matter how you put it, I won't lose to you! Bet on the Nightmare Festival! ”
Merlin even wants to use the magic of the nightmare to sneak some of it into the chess pieces......
"Humph! Show them the true power of Nightmares! Last time, last time, last time, last time the failure was just a trivial mistake! Merlin waved his small tentacles and roared unconvinced.
"That's right! We're going to win! "Márquez is regrouping and ready to fight for another 300 rounds.
Ding-ding!
The doorbell rang, and the wooden gate was quickly opened.
"Sheldon, we need to close all the [doors] and open them after this orc rebellion, so that no one can enter through the side door, and in addition, we need to open a door to the orc apartment."
"Alright, alright......" Sheldon yawned and waved his hand at Merlin, "Son, wait for me, I'll come when I go." ”
"Good! Go ahead and remember to come back soon! Merlin smiled, his eyes full of cunning.
"The little guy seems to have grown a lot lately, and this is a growing body." Peman looked at Merlin's gradually rising body, smacked his lips, and said approvingly.
"I'll take him to dip in two years, and then he'll be able to use his magic." Sheldon smiled in return, clenching his fists as a dappled glow of magic began to emerge from under his skin.
Boom!
The door is closed.
"Marquez, hurry up!" Merlin made a quick decision and urged Márquez to make small moves.
Magic chess is like a battlefield, changing rapidly.
Abbreviation, one person, one nightmare, playing Laipi openly.
Merlin pinched the [Nightmare] chess piece with his palm, and sneakily placed him next to the opponent's [human] chess piece.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Attack, give me attack! The scoundrel's nightmare burst into laughter, as if the disintegrated pawn was the prey of its own hand.
"Hey, why are you so excited?"
"This is the arrogance of being a nightmare, Marquez, you have to be proud too!"
"Cut, how can you care about this kind of thing."
"You don't understand!" Merlin stubbornly shouted, "Break them up, kill them, devour them!" ”
"Are you tired of losing all the time?"
"Just! No! Be! ”
Márquez seems to have acquired Merlin's new trait – perhaps ridiculously competitive.
The result was obvious, and when Sheldon returned, he was shocked to find that all the pieces in his camp had been shattered.
"Son, it's not good to play tricks."
"The battlefield is ever-changing! That's what you told me. Merlin playfully sucked his fingers and looked slyly at the powdered human and orc pieces.
Orcs and humans are always put first, as they are the most similar, and the defense that orcs can provide is one of the best.
"Alas...... You're right. ”
"Reality isn't a chessboard, hehe, that's what you said."
"But it's just a game, my dear Marin, there's no need for it next time, if you want to win, I can let you win all the time."
"The battlefield is ever-changing! I can't afford you to get out! ”
"Alright, alright, go to bed for me!"
Sheldon, who was quite speechless, hurriedly picked up the little fellow, threw him into a simple bed, and comforted him to sleep, while he lit a dim lamp, spread out a notebook, and wrote and stopped.
The current situation is not optimistic, but Merlin's record of physical condition has nothing to do with it.
