Chapter 307 Story
"Paco, do you know? The favorite game that 'Emperor' and I play is chess." '007' said lazily on the mobile phone. He was probably licking ice cream while talking, and the handsome Spanish guy behind him was applying sunscreen to her. Yes, but this time she didn't make any jokes and told a very concise story to Paco on the other end of the phone.
"There are many interesting ways to play chess. Due to the bloodline, the brain development of mixed-race people is much higher than that of their peers when they were young. So I was exposed to this game early when I was 5 years old and became completely proficient in it. But at that time, the children around me We were all still playing small games like 'Afternoon Tea Party' and 'Princess Knight', so I could only play with the adults, and I was the winner every time." '007' raised his eyebrows as he recalled himself In one of the few glorious moments, he smiled and said, "Chess is also one of the few skills I have."
"You also know how few skills you are proficient in?" Paco said. She looked at the giant leech in the glass jar in the venue, and her face suddenly became neither sad nor happy. It seemed that the sudden appearance of the 'Prince' had already followed the 'Leech'. 's presence was no longer an annoyance to her.
"Hey, don't be so hasty." '007' said, "Do you want to continue listening to the story?"
"Say." Paco nodded.
The spotlight in the opera house was still flowing slowly in the dead silence. No one made a sound. The trader gave everyone sufficient time to calm down and adjust mentally, as if waiting for the samurai to sharpen their swords and wear armor and be fully prepared before rushing forward. The bloody meat grinding ground not far away.
During this period, Paco also thought about a lot of things, but not including the trade fair itself. The emergence of giant leeches was already in her plan. It can even be said that the giant leeches themselves were the core part of their plan. But that's not the case with 'Kiku Yimonji Zong'. This sword appears to be an understatement, but in Paco's eyes it hides a deeper meaning.
The Kikuichimonji norimune and the giant leech are from the same seller.
Naturally, this seller will only be one person.
'emperor'.
The 'Emperor' knew that the 'Prince' would come to tonight's trading party, but he did not reveal any information to his maid, Paco - the 'Emperor' has always been so inexplicable, but everything he did They all have ulterior motives, just like a real emperor, one action or one thought is enough to make his ministers uneasy day and night.
Obviously, '007' is half an insider, and now that '007' suddenly wants to tell a story about the 'Emperor', she is quite interested in listening to it.
"Skills are something that we mixed-races can definitely learn if we want to. It's just a matter of time and willingness. Haven't I been studying linguistics recently? I've also learned some of your Chinese local dialects. For example, Taiwan's Hokkien and Hong Kong and Macao's Cantonese." '007' said with a smile, "But these are not the point. The point is that among all my skills, if there is a proficiency list, then chess must be considered one. A skill that ranks among the top three!"
"You spend so much nonsense just to emphasize that you are great at chess? Is it possible that the number one spot on your proficiency list is your useless nonsense?" Paco said.
"Wow, what a venomous tongue. You must be the one with the venomous tongue at the top of your proficiency list, right?" '007' immediately turned back.
Paco sighed and was not ready to talk nonsense with the girl opposite. She didn't know who she learned it from. The other girl's nonsense skills were growing just like her weight.
"By the way, did you know that I taught the 'Emperor' chess?" '007' suddenly said with a smile.
".Now I know." Paco shook his eyebrows. It was unimaginable that the genius of the monster-like 'Emperor' was actually taught chess by the idiot '007'.
"The 'Emperor' was always bad at chess before." '007' made a statement that made Paco raise his eyebrows even more brilliantly. "From the time I started teaching him, it actually took him half a day to learn it. In the afternoon, he could play a whole game of chess with me normally without making any basic mistakes in moving the chess pieces."
"'Emperor', it took him half a day to learn chess?" Paco said expressionlessly, "A normal person, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding," said '007'.
"Then there is something wrong with your teaching. You misaligned the jumping patterns of all the chess pieces, and then let the 'Emperor' notice the abruptness and irrationality during the teaching and reversely deduce the correct gameplay?" Paco frowned.
It is inevitable that Paco will ask this. In everyone's impression, the 'Emperor' is a non-human existence. If you have to use one word to describe him, it is either 'monster' or 'monster'. He can go from zero to zero in one hour. Start with basic advanced mathematics, and after one hour you can smoothly expand the Fourier series formula and calculate the proof of the differential mean value theorem.
This kind of pervert is learning from a veteran who is proficient in chess, and it actually takes him half a day to barely make the wrong moves. This can only make Paco think that there is something wrong with the instructor himself.
"No, if that's the case, since I've explained all the gameplay and just messed up the order, with the brain calculation ability of the 'Emperor', I can probably reconstruct the correct gameplay in less than ten minutes. ?" '007' said.
"That's right." Paco nodded, "So you want to say that the 'Emperor' is not proficient in chess?"
"Yes." '007' nodded, "At least that's how I saw it at that time, because I didn't know Him at that time. I was only 16 years old at that time, and I hadn't even gone to college yet."
"The first time I met 'The Emperor' was through chess. I didn't know Him at that time. To me, He was just an Internet chess friend named 'KING'. We played chess through the Internet! So He He is also my first apprentice in chess."
"Every time we play chess on the Internet, I win. Our relationship is very close. Every time I want to play chess, the player 'KING' is always by my side. His status in my friend list is always there. It's all online. I apply to him and he always accepts it within a ten-second countdown. For me, this is the best chess friend!"
Paco listened silently to the girl on the other end of the phone. She could almost imagine the beautiful eyebrows and corners of her mouth that subconsciously raised when the other party was indulging in that good time, but she couldn't try to empathize with this memory.
"For three years, we played a lot of games, sometimes one game, sometimes two games, three games, or even a whole day. Over the past three years, I have continued to maintain an undefeated record." '007 smiled lightly. Said, "I didn't know I was mixed race at that time. I always thought I was only talented at chess and never tried anything else. At that time, I thought I was born for chess. , when I was in the orphanage, I played chess with myself on the ceiling, replaying the chess records memorized to make deductions, so I believed that I would get what I paid for, and no one could beat me in a head-to-head duel, except for My future self. So in the countless games of chess that 'KING' played with me, I never failed once, and I defeated him ruthlessly every time."
"It's not surprising." Paco rarely made a positive comment. Although she hated '007''s style, she never doubted his ability. If that girl wants to, then she can be the best at something. , whether it's a 'wasted house' who can't get on the stage or a 'spy' who really tempers people's hearts, '007' said that chess can be ranked among her top three skills, which means that her chess skills must have already Reached the pinnacle level.
In terms of chess, three years can only be regarded as "understanding", but not "proficient". If the "Emperor"'s level in chess is really only the level of ordinary people, then he will not be able to play for another thirty years. Chances are better than '007'.
"I remember very clearly that the last game of chess between me and the player 'KING' was on a sunny afternoon. The white foam left dark lip marks on the skin on the beach. That was also the day when I received the message from Cassel. The day when I received the admission notice from the academy. At that time, I was facing the choice between the Spanish Royal Chess Society and the mysterious Dragon Slaying Academy’s notice. At this time, the ‘Emperor’ invited me for a battle through the Internet.”
"You accepted it."
"Of course I accepted it, because I was about to enter the Royal Chess Club for further training, enjoy high-quality resources and play with famous teachers, and no longer have to use inferior game software to play online games with some rotten fish and shrimps on the Internet, so that game In the end, I can say goodbye to this unbeatable piece of candy forever." '007' smiled, "It seems that 'KING' also noticed my thoughts from across the Internet, and happily said to me, Man Ti Gonzalez, this is the thousandth game we have played in the past three years, and I know you better after a thousand duels. So on this special day, let's make this game more interesting. How about upping the ante a little bit?”
"He called your name and you weren't surprised?"
"The curiosity of a woman and a strong man together can kill more than a cat." '007 smiled, "And it just so happened that at that time, I was both."
Paco didn't ask any further questions, but trembled quietly. She guessed what happened next. The story told by '007' was not a simple story about 'chess' or 'emperor', but Her own story, a trivial one about the encounter between the maids and the mysterious tyrant.
The end of every story is always accompanied by the establishment of a contract.
"It's obvious now that I lost the bet." Mandy Gonzalez smiled faintly over the phone.
"All of His actions have an unshakable purpose like a storm pouring into the sea." Mandy said, "Don't speculate on His intentions, because when He sets his sights on you, you are already close to entering the ending He has written for you. ”
"But this 'gift' was originally planned to be given to the old man behind the Chen family." Paco finally raised his head, escaped from the long-ago story, and looked at the fiery eyes on the stage. The dazzling glass jar, "The entry of the 'Prince' will disrupt our plan. Once Chen Motong does not get the 'gift', then further big plans will lack the core and will be difficult to move forward!"
"Don't disobey the 'Emperor''s will. He is a very scary thing. So scary that what you think of His terror is just an illusion used by Him to hide his true face. There is something underneath that that we cannot imagine. ." Mandy said softly, "Compared to the 'Prince', what is a Chen family? Besides, there is no name on the 'gift', so why don't you try to believe that the 'gift' will eventually fall into the wrong hands? Which one of us is the one the 'Emperor' really wants to bless?"
Mandy's words were very soft, but they sounded like thunder in the ears of Paco, who reacted very quickly. She suddenly raised her head and looked into the darkness of the opera house, and a chill crawled from the end of her back to her brain.
—
In the darkness, a pair of molten golden eyes were lit up. He was like an emperor, looking down at the 'gift' on the stage, like a dragon looking at his own golden treasure.
