Chapter 209 Building Blocks and Chips
Undercurrent... Yes, the current situation in the kingdom can undoubtedly be described as "undercurrent".
Although at this moment, the situation may no longer be [dark], but more or less brought to the light...
At least it was the bright side that the eldest princess expected.
"So? What do we do next?"
Belsi said this, sitting in a room surrounded by bookshelves, with Semu Nananoshima on his head as usual.
This room is a room in the Magic Academy of Leakatamanalia Kingdom.
Sitting opposite Bersi and Semu Nananoshima, was naturally the eldest princess.
Because now everyone is paying attention to this matter. On the "open side", Belsi belongs to the third princess, and the third princess is about to become independent.
This is a relationship between mortal enemies... so Belsi is no longer suitable to meet the eldest princess formally in the court hall or near the imperial city.
But conversation is necessary.
This is also the best way for the eldest princess to pass instructions and situations to her sister - let Belsi help pass them on.
"We have already met Baoguo... Baoguo of the Griffin Knights."
Bel Xi said this and complained: "Both father and son have really long faces... horse faces."
[It’s wrong to laugh at other people’s looks, brother. 】
As Nanajima Semu said this, he stretched out his tentacles on the eldest princess's shoulders: [So, what do you want us to do next? 】
Whether it was [sneaking into the enemy] or [becoming a famous anti-princess faction], they have succeeded.
Now, both the Northern Territory and Belshe and Nanami Semu have a certain label deeply branded on them.
In other words, Belsi became famous, and almost everyone paying attention to these events knew that he had a bad relationship with the eldest princess.
"Next..."
The eldest princess held her chin up, because everything seemed to be going according to her plan, so she seemed to be in a good mood.
"You don't need to do anything... No, it can even be said that you must leave the kingdom quickly to avoid being affected."
"???"
Looking at Bel Xi with a puzzled face, the eldest princess felt a little happy that she had beaten Bel Xi in terms of IQ for the first time... Of course, this might just be caused by the information gap.
However, this was enough for the eldest princess to feel complacent.
Such a mentality is indeed far from being a qualified emperor.
"Let me give you an example. Let's say this table is the entire kingdom."
The eldest princess said this, and then looked at the principal of the college who was watching the conversation quietly: "Excuse me, make some building blocks."
As for the half-step demigod, Heisesese's long legs, and Principal Yujie, she didn't look very happy. She actually didn't like the eldest princess very much.
However, that didn't stop her from using magic power to build more than a hundred long building blocks on the table. Building blocks seemed to exist in this world as well.
"Hypothetically, each brick represents some power within the kingdom."
The eldest princess said this, pointed to Bel Xi who was sitting opposite her, and said, "How about we play a game of stacking blocks?"
In response to the eldest princess's proposal, Belsi and Nananoshima Semu looked at each other.
【Stacking blocks? 】
"Stacking blocks..."
Amidst Semu Nananoshima's words and Belsi's sighs, the dragon's claws and tentacles began to fly quickly on the table.
The building blocks were quickly collected.
With precise control ability, the building blocks gradually overlapped and stacked up quickly, before the eldest princess could react.
"finished."
【Complete power! 】
"..."
Princess: "!!!"
headmaster:"?!!"
At this moment, what appeared in front of the four people was a stable tower built with square building blocks.
No, this is not a tower, this is a triangle.
It was a [Card Tower] built by Belsi and Semu Nanajima based on their memories during their lifetimes and with unparalleled operational accuracy.
Of course, they are all made of building blocks, which looks more spectacular, is also very thick, and is not easy to collapse. Of course, it just looks...
In fact, it is still easy to collapse.
"Well, I get it...you guys are really good at stacking blocks."
The eldest princess was a little embarrassed when she said this: "However, the rules of building blocks I mentioned are different. Please listen patiently."
Ah, this... okay.
"It's actually very simple. I have some blocks in my hand, and there are some blocks on the table that belong to you. Some of them belong to you, and the other part belongs to me."
"Next, we will play countless games until one party is tired or one party has all the blocks in his hand taken away."
"The way to get the building blocks is to engage in [battle]. The method is for both parties to continuously stack the blocks high and compare the heights of the blocks in that battle."
"After you win a battle, you can take away all the building blocks that the opponent participated in this battle..."
The eldest princess took some time to explain the rules quite clearly. She gestured and said: "Okay, try to seize all the building blocks from my hand."
What's the meaning? I don't understand it at all...
Bel Xi looked confused. He roughly understood what the eldest princess meant, but he didn't know why the rules were designed like this.
【Eh? What does it mean... If we are asked to play the role of the opposition force, then which of the building blocks on the table belong to us? 】
Amidst Semu Nananoshima's doubts, Belsi seemed to have thought of something: "So, your enemies are not sure who they can trust? Well... In this regard, you are actually the same, right?"
Regarding Bel Xi's words, the eldest princess nodded in agreement.
[So, who is your enemy? 】
To Nananoshima Semu's question, Her Royal Highness the Princess responded quickly and simply: "Of course anyone."
"Every brick that wants to be the leader and doesn't follow my orders, let's say... protect the family."
The princess who said this decided to make a start. She simply stacked three building blocks together and said: "So, I have three building blocks on the bright side...how will you choose?"
Every [Duel] is the same. The victory or failure of the duel depends on the number of building blocks.
"I'll put four bricks on the surface."
Belch said this and gathered a few blocks at will... In this way, he would be able to win when the duel began.
In this way, all seven blocks belong to him.
The eldest princess nodded, took two blocks and put them on her side, saying: "Then I will add more blocks... What about you?"
Of course, Belsch will also need to add more at this moment.
In this case, for this duel, both sides will continue to add blocks until the blocks in the field are used up.
It seems that the outcome will be decided in one round, and there is no need for another duel. Besides...even if you flinch a little.
Then, the failure of even one building block will be fatal to the subsequent duel, so... it will become such an infinite loop.
[It would be endless, I add blocks and then you add blocks, then I add blocks, then you add blocks. 】
Semu Nananoshima clearly found out how boring this game was, and then he realized something: [Or is this also true in reality? 】
"Of course not... Realistically, one side will have the ability to start the duel directly before the other side adds blocks."
The eldest princess said this, and she gestured to Bel Xi: "And this ability can easily become outdated. The real situation is... I keep adding blocks one by one."
Along with the voice of the eldest princess, she placed the blocks high, her movements slow but steady. She gestured to Bel Xi: "My opponent accumulates ten or even nine blocks from time to time, but also from time to time. There will be a time when you won’t be able to get even one brick.”
Although her words were abstract, Belsi knew that this was actually the truth. Although this [game] was not fun enough.
But it’s just enough [realism].
Losing and winning really depend on the number (mastery) of building blocks (power), and the accumulation of the number of building blocks does follow that pattern.
Let's just say that the princess in charge of the power can obtain the building blocks at a very average speed. As for the [opponent], the method of obtaining the building blocks is indeed unstable.
Basically, you rely on solicitation and persuasion, right?
It comes from talking nonsense.
"..."
The blocks in front of the eldest princess continued to increase. Bel Xi squinted her eyes, as if she could see each soldier.
Corps one by one...
And the blocks on my side are constantly being added by the princess's hands... This can hardly be called a game.
But as a simulation, it is very qualified.
then……
"I have a lot of building blocks at the beginning, and these building blocks will gradually increase, but my opponent's building blocks are destined to surpass mine at some point."
The eldest princess said, with the emphasis on the word "destined", and she showed the blocks on both sides: "50 blocks, and 55 more."
The eldest princess who said this showed the number of building blocks on both sides. She spread her hands helplessly: "I lost... didn't I?"
Her innocent expression made her look a little cute, so the disrespectful Nananashima Semu immediately messed up her hair with his tentacles.
This also caused the eldest princess to look in shock.
"However, among these fifty-five building blocks, there is Ilaya and I...and I don't think you haven't arranged for other people."
Belsey said this.
And he completely looked up to the eldest princess...other than that, she really had no other arrangements.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but she really has no one under her.
When it comes to other things, she can also use people she doesn't trust. If she dares to use this kind of thing... then the situation will collapse.
"That's natural..."
The eldest princess said without changing her expression and her heart didn't beat. She squinted her eyes and said, "You have forty bricks, so I will win."
The eldest princess said this, and took away forty blocks from the fifty-five blocks in front of Belsi, who was pretending to be her [opponent].
The eldest princess has fifty building blocks...
The opponent only has thirteen bricks.
In this case, it is undoubtedly the victory of the eldest princess.
"And...as for me..."
As the eldest princess spoke, the next words turned into the most interesting situation... She reached out and took away thirty blocks from the blocks in front of her.
"I installed this myself...it's a false building block."
In other words, this is... [false information] given to the opponent. What is the purpose of doing this? Wait, who is this fake information?
"Commander of the Dragoons, Red."
The eldest princess who said this took a breath and looked at the blocks in front of her, turning into the purest magic power and beginning to disappear.
Amid the light blue magic mixed with a bit of black mist, the eldest princess simply said: "He won't help me, but... others won't think so."
"Others will prepare more blocks and spend more time dealing with them. My block named [Red] will be eaten by me at once."
Bel Xi almost understood what the eldest princess said: "If Brother Reid didn't exist, your initial blocks would appear to be fewer, and your opponent would quickly try to eat your blocks with fewer blocks..."
[In this case, our existence, as well as the existence of the heavy artillery Lolita princess, will not have much effect when exposed. 】
Nananoshima Semu has also understood, and she seems to be very interested in this aspect of the calculation: [After all, we are a conspiracy that can only be used once. 】
Yes, this is a conspiracy that cannot be detected. After all...who would know that the incident of "the discord between the third princess and the eldest princess" is all fake?
Your Majesty is about to fight to the death, why did your Majesty first...what? Are you actually the eldest princess?
"The deadliest conspiracy and secret injury should break out in the most critical battle. This is a key strategy that can determine the outcome of a battle in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the opponent's bargaining chip... to ensure that the battle is large enough."
[The plan is to pretend to increase your own chips. 】
"..."
Belsi and Nananoshima Semu completely understood the eldest princess's thoughts, and the eldest princess was also very satisfied with the result.
The eldest princess has no doubt that if she uses similar rhetoric to discuss with those in the secret sect...
Those esoteric cultists would probably play with the building blocks with silly expressions on their faces, saying: "Building blocks, hehehe, building blocks... eh eh eh ~ building blocks, building blocks~"
Then the nose drooped... or something?
Obviously, the eldest princess has a stereotype about people in the secret sect, which is probably derived from the out-of-line and unreliable [One Touch] organization.
It was really easy to talk to Belsey.
…
However, the principal's expression is not very good... She doesn't like the eldest princess very much, but she does like Bel Xi and Nananoshima Semu.
As a result, looking at it now, it turns out that Bel Xi and the eldest princess were purely in cahoots with each other.
Now, the principal's mood is a bit complicated. This mood is actually very similar to that of a child who has learned bad things.
No, it's even more complicated.
After all, the other party is a eldest princess, so it may be very similar to...
An orthodox redneck from Texas found that his son, who had no special features, was very close to his son who worshiped him, and even broke his butt. His son's political views were highly praised by the Democratic Party.
Although the description is crude, it is indeed true.
"So, my opinion is... before the decisive battle, or shortly afterwards, you should leave the kingdom directly and go to other countries."
The eldest princess said this, and she asked seriously: "I will let the royal mage open the portal for you... Do you have any desired destination?"
The eldest princess said this and simply took a sip of tea.
Black tea, the black tea brewed by the eldest princess herself... There is a beautiful smudge on the border between the tea and the tea cup, which proves the high quality of the tea.
"..."
【……】
After a moment of silence from both of them...
Bersi and Nananoshima Semu answered almost in unison——
"Chinese."
【Chinese. 】
Princess: "Pfft!!!"
Tea spurted out from the eldest princess's mouth and splashed all over Bel Xi.
