Chapter 721 Negotiation
Queen Yekana's dinner party ended not long ago, and Joshua was once again honored to be chosen by the queen... He stayed alone at the embassy of the country of steel to play Go with the queen.
"I'm just a businessman... Forget it, maybe I can't even talk about business, I'm just a programmer who makes games to entertain the public."
Two black and white Go pieces were twirling between Qiao Xiu's fingers. After a brief moment of contemplation, Qiao Xiu picked up the black pieces and landed them on the chessboard in front of him.
"Programmer? Is this what the builders of your magic net call themselves? Joshua Arnorod, I investigated you...you are very strange."
It took a few seconds for Queen Yekana to pick up the white piece and land it next to Qiao Xiu's black piece, sealing off Joshua's escape route.
The Queen of the Iron Country is actually a Go master! Joshua didn't even know on what occasion she came into contact with this ancient game.
As far as Qiao Xiu knew, the current popular range of Go was only the Hearthstone Tavern, as well as the older generation of spellcasters from the Spellcasters Association.
How did this queen get the Go board... If Joshua remembers correctly, the general stationed at the embassy of the country of steel seemed to go to the Hearthstone Tavern to play two games if he had nothing to do.
"Strange?"
Qiao Xiu's playing speed was not as fast as Queen Yekana's. After all, Qiao Xiu's level of playing Go was an amateur among amateurs.
"Your identity is the third prince of the Demon Realm, but your aura is incompatible with the Chaos Demon." Queen Yekana stared at Qiao Xiu and said.
"Maybe it's because I've been in Nolan for too long?"
After pondering for a while, Qiao Xiu found the whereabouts of Hei Zi, and managed to break out of Queen Yekana's encirclement.
"Your temperament is also completely different from Nolan's humans, or... completely different from humans in this world."
Queen Yekana's next son directly pushed Qiao Xiu to the point of desperation.
"Is there?" Qiao Xiu said and smelled himself, "You must also smell something salty on me, right?"
"Salty...taste?"
When Queen Yekana was thinking about Qiao Xiu's next move, she was a little dazed by Qiao Xiu's words.
"I don't quite understand it either. Everyone I meet says I'm a bit as decadent as a fish that has been sun-dried."
While laughing at himself, Qiao Xiu dropped another sunspot to prepare for another breakout.
"Decadent?" Empress Yekana chuckled when she heard Joshua's adjective, "I don't think what they see in you is decadence, but... indifference to the world."
Queen Yekana's words, accompanied by her Baizi's drop, had completely declared Heizi's death. Qiao Xiu looked around for a while and could only raise his hands to declare his surrender.
"Ms. Yekana, to tell you the truth... I may have saved the world several times without you knowing."
Qiao Xiu counted the World Trees he cultivated. If those World Trees withered as the Inquisition Tribunal wished, the world would have already fallen into chaos.
"Is it?"
The servant beside Queen Yekana wanted to come forward and put the Go pieces in the box, but was stopped by Queen Yekana's gesture.
She personally picked up the black pieces on the chessboard one by one, and Joshua also understood what the queen meant, and began to pick up the white pieces on the chessboard.
"You are very weak in this game called Go." Queen Yekana put the sunspots into the box one by one and said, "But the information I know is...you are the creator of this game."
"Do creators have to be strong to play their own games? And Ms. Yekana, are you so sure that I'm a creator?" Qiao Xiu said.
"Is this sentence of yours acquiescing to my guess about your past identity? A... visitor from a foreign land?"
Queen Yekana had packed all the sunspots into the wooden box next to her.
Joshua didn't say anything but clapped his hands twice, which meant he was praising the queen.
But she had collected so much information that she could deduce it, even though it made Joshua a little surprised, it still made sense.
Unfortunately, even if she guessed Joshua's real identity...it would not work at all.
"Then what do you want to do, Ms. Yekana...remove her as an intruder?" Joshua asked.
"Expulsion?" A smile appeared on Queen Yekana's face again, "If it wasn't for my disbelief, maybe I would regard you as the messenger of the gods."
"Wait a minute, this topic jumps a little fast."
"There is no jump, you have brought countless miracles to this world." Queen Yekana did not hesitate to praise herself, "The magic net is a miracle that even the gods can't create, and movies and these games..."
Queen Yekana grabbed the sunspot in the wooden box at hand.
"Everything you created has added new colors to this world! If I were to go back to the Iron Country a year ago, I would definitely feel bored."
Wait a moment! Qiao Xiu remembered that the queen should not be addicted to the Internet, but looking at the situation now, it seems that she is hiding something?
"I don't know how to respond to this series of compliments." Qiao Xiu said.
"You don't need to answer, because your existence has always been a huge regret to me." Queen Yekana placed two black stones on the chessboard.
"What regret?" Qiao Xiu could only take out two white pieces and placed them on the other side of the chessboard.
"You are a person from the devil world, and you are also the prince of the devil world." Queen Yekana sighed a little at this point, "It would be perfect if you were a man from the country of steel, so that I can let you write something I like. s story."
Pause! Did you say so much just to remind me to update?
Qiao Xiu's hand holding the chess pieces had stopped in mid-air, and he didn't dare to move any more.
"But it's not too late, Joshua Arnorod."
"Let me refuse."
Qiao Xiu directly interrupted the queen's words, and at that moment, Qiao Xiu was already made goosebumps by the longing in the eyes of the queen Yekana.
"It's getting late today, I'm sorry I can't accompany you through the second game."
Joshua immediately stood up from his seat wittily, but the Queen Yekana's favor for him could be used for many things.
"But we can cooperate. The Demon Realm is willing to cooperate with the Kingdom of Steel, and... I have a project that also needs to use the Kingdom of Steel's outstanding technology for forging magical machinery." Joshua put a white piece in his hand on the chessboard. With the last throw, the white piece landed exactly in the center of the chessboard.
"And we have a common enemy, Ms. Yekana... The real evil is dormant in the shadows of this world. The sages of Nolan should have warned you."
