Chapter 234 Game of Chess
【Everything is under control】
Originally, this was what the eldest princess thought, at least in her opinion, it was indeed the case, and perhaps it would actually be the case, as long as... nothing unexpected happened.
When the leaders of the rebels and the two leaders of the Griffin Knights were controlled by magic, their hearts were sealed in the corners of their souls.
How could she lose again?
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to [win more].
but……
"..."
"Do you think the other party is out of control?"
The eldest princess asked somewhat seriously... And in her bedroom, there were the white witch and the black witch who were invited.
However, he is actually his own teacher...
That is to say, Miss White Witch told herself that the situation had changed, and combined with the spies' information, the eldest princess knew more or less about the situation.
"Yes, in my perception, the magic connection was disconnected about two days ago... but it was reconnected around night."
The White Witch said this, and she looked solemn: "So, I didn't care..."
From what she said, it seems that the magic connection is still maintained until now, so the effect of [Composite·Mind Control Spell Sequence] should be continuing.
"However, when I wanted to use the connection of magic power to control Baoguo and his son under the influence of the spell...my instructions came to nothing."
"..."
The eldest princess frowned at the words of her magic instructor. She looked at the black and white witch who didn't understand the specific situation.
To be honest, the eldest princess's character is relatively suspicious.
In fact, the White Witch's words are really suspicious... However, under such circumstances, it is impossible for her to doubt her teacher.
Even though she doubted it in her heart of hearts.
"It's actually weird."
The Black Witch said this. As the principal of the college, she is actually not too fond of the eldest princess... To be precise, she is actually from the prince's faction.
But in this case, she was also forced to stand on the same front as the eldest princess.
"Xiao Bai's magic is not something that can fail easily... Even if there is a separation between planes, the magic will not be interrupted."
The Black Witch said this, eliminating the question in the eldest princess's heart: "Is it melting?" ] thinking, she said: "The interruption and re-validation of magic is very similar to passing through a magic forbidden area."
"But...it's hard to explain that the spell completely failed."
The white witch said that she, who was usually lazy, could no longer look lazy at the moment. After thinking deeply, she said: "Besides, it is not an ordinary failure."
Yes, it is not an ordinary failure...
Because the invalidation was disguised as [effectiveness], and the disguise was so successful that she didn't realize that the magic had failed until she wanted to control it.
This made her hesitate...
Because this means that if there is someone operating this situation, then that person's use of white magic is better than hers.
Even if such people exist, they are definitely rare.
"..."
After being silent for a few seconds, the eldest princess walked to the parchment on the table and said, "Do you know the movements of those betrayers?"
Naturally, neither of them knew this.
According to the normal design, Baoguo and his son, controlled by the White Witch, would lead the rebels directly to the vicinity of the royal capital.
Then they were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Later, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess will be rescued by the Royal Knights, and the eldest princess will announce that her sister is being coerced!
Everything will be solved.
"The leader of the Baoguo regiment has disappeared, and under the leadership of Xiao Baoguo, who took over the position of regiment leader, the rebels changed their route."
The eldest princess said helplessly, and she led the two of them to a large map... This was the situation map of Zhang Kingdom.
Although because the carrier is parchment, you can't expect a good painter, but it is still the same and can still be used for combat thinking.
"Originally, they should have gone west and entered our encirclement."
The eldest princess stretched out her hand to gesture like this, and then drew a line with a tired look on her face, directly skipping Ounei City from the direction of the rebels.
Pointing directly to the southwest of the kingdom.
"Over there...is there anything special over there?"
Regarding the White Witch's question, the eldest princess looked at the city marked [娧义城] and opened her mouth not knowing what to say.
"I... made some arrangements there."
The eldest princess said this, she didn't want to say directly "I want to move the capital there, and then wait for the opportunity to ascend the throne".
The relationship between the few of them is not that close yet.
After all, they are not Belshe.
"Now it seems...my arrangements are almost in vain."
The eldest princess's expression management skills are not particularly good, so her gnashing teeth expression looks very obvious.
"It would be fine if they just burned, killed and looted, or if they wanted to escape from the kingdom and head towards the barbarians, but..."
The eldest princess said this, looking for words that were more considerate of the kingdom: "If they are stationed there, deceiving the people and trying to compete with us, then the situation will be in trouble."
That way, you are really making wedding clothes for others.
"Then, do you need me to inform that...Mr. Belsch to come back?"
The White Witch asked.
"..."
"..."
The eldest princess hesitated for a moment... Belsi? But there should be no point in letting Belsi return to the kingdom, right?
Maybe I could ask his opinion?
The eldest princess thought so, and then she felt funny... She is the eldest princess of the Violet Kingdom, how could she be so weak?
Rosa Vicenbru Viloret, before her brother was born, had been trained as the future heir of the kingdom.
The Queen of Violet...this will be her future name.
Therefore, the eldest princess has no reason and no need to question her own decision and ask others for their opinions.
As a king, it is ridiculous to have a heart-to-heart relationship with others.
Even if she, Rosa, dies, dies outside, jumps from here, she will not completely trust someone!
The eldest princess thought so, but then she thought about it...
I don’t know why, but Belsi and the slime minion on his head really know a lot about running the country.
Maybe he can actually give some appropriate advice.
how to say? A person like Belch is simply the perfect candidate to become prime minister... although I feel like he won't like this position.
"Contact Belsi and tell him the general situation...contact the Druids of the Natural Secret Society in the Northern Territory."
The eldest princess who said this coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Well... After all, I arranged his trip, so when the situation changes, it is also important to explain the current situation to them."
The eldest princess chatted quickly and said a lot of words quickly: "How should I say it? I don't want to ask Bel Xi and others for their opinions, but I think I need to do this for this time..."
"Anyway, I think..."
"The so-called [King] is responsible for his subjects, so I..."
"..."
In response, the White Witch just looked at the eldest princess with a half-smile.
"Pfft~"
Maleficent couldn't help laughing.
——————————
"When people live in this world, they need to make choices one after another... I'm not sure whether the choices we make at this moment are correct."
Asmo said this, and in front of him was a field of fallen humans...these humans were the kingdom's rebels.
They are those traitors in the eyes of the eldest princess.
Asmo, who was saying this, was holding countless beautiful crystal-like objects in his hands... which looked like snake scale powder.
But if you look carefully, you'll realize...
These crystals are colorless and transparent, with some white clouds shaking, while the snake scale powder has many colors.
The color is also very noticeable.
However, if Belsi were here, he would definitely remember this thing... because he had seen it in hell.
These things are the crystallization of the soul.
A unit of standard human soul can be refined into about 1 soul crystal...because the quality may be relatively poor and only half of it can be formed.
After the soul crystal is shattered, it will turn into 10 regular-shaped [fragments], which are standard currency.
Just like gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins in the main plane are standard currencies.
In the fused Abyss, the currency used was [Fragments], and Belsi was sold for 500 Fragments.
No, not bought.
The succubus girl who was about to buy it seemed to be thinking that she was spending money indiscriminately, so her mother, who seemed to be very fierce, grabbed her ears and dragged her away.
Avoiding the foreseeable, fiery and earth-shaking fate of Belsi in the future can be regarded as saving Belsi... right?
The source of these soul crystals is undoubtedly the empty shells of the traitor army in front of them.
"Choose...choose..."
At first glance, one might mistakenly think that Asmo was lamenting his previous choice of killing people and getting soul crystals.
But it’s not actually...
After all, in his original plan, these soul crystals were necessary... These things were not just a currency.
It is also a precious thing that can be used to quickly replenish strength.
For Asmo, who was extremely weak at the moment, and the remaining 70 devils in his body, such a supplement was very necessary.
Visible to the naked eye, these crystals began to become smaller and lighter when held by Asmo.
Then it completely disappeared.
"Yeah...you still made a choice."
The female devil with the body of a sika deer said this, simply stating the truth: "You abandoned all the sleeping tribesmen."
Yes, all the [tribesmen] are asleep, this is an interesting topic.
The female devil had already explained the situation to Asmo before... Including the two of them, there were only 72 companions left.
The rest will not respond for a long time.
Those souls that are all integrated into one, some of them sleep forever... But this [eternal] is not absolute.
Because maybe.
【maybe】
Maybe there is a way to wake them up, such as actively separating the souls, such as this...
Let Aasimo absorb the power of the soul.
Perhaps, as long as more of it is given to those sleeping members of the same race, they can be "resurrected" from "death".
"I made the best decision..."
Asmo said this, proving that he has made a choice... that is to remove the sleeping devil part of his soul.
Become a guiding light for the future.
"Their souls have become an important resource for us, making it possible for us to protect ourselves and continue our race."
Asmo said, after all, he personally decided to end the possibility of his companions surviving, so no matter how rational he was, it was unlikely that he would feel comfortable.
He watched calmly as the control was handed over to the rebels under his own magical modifications, and they walked towards the formation where the souls were crystallized.
If these guys were turned into soul crystals.
Then the body that the seventy-two of them gathered together and is still on the 666th floor may be able to exert a small part of its power.
Although they are only a small part, they should still have around the fourth or fifth level of strength. With this level of strength, they can begin to seek true liberation.
Only by letting the main body escape from that prison first can he be qualified to continue thinking about the future.
"Hey, Amos, how many scraps are you going to harvest?"
The female devil of the deer asked this. She asked Asmo, who was always known for his cunning and scheming: "Where are we going after that?"
To this, Asmo responded almost without thinking: "At least the number must be reduced to half of the original half...and then go to Yaoyi City."
"..."
Obviously, the female devil has never heard of such a name.
"Well, this country is called the Violet Kingdom, and in the southwest of the kingdom, there is a city called Yuanyi City."
While maintaining the soul harvesting circle, Asmo said: "When I was searching for the memory of this body, I discovered some interesting things."
Asmo, who said this, looked at Lu's female devil: "Can you play chess? For example, Demon Chess?"
chess? Is it the game brought by the first generation of warriors?
"You know a little bit, what's wrong?"
In response to his companion's question, Asmo said simply: "In this place [Yanyicheng], there is some [layout] in advance. This is what I can see."
The importance of layout naturally does not need to be explained, so Asmo asked the female devil if she had ever played chess and if she could understand.
"Money, economy, terrain, city defense, culture, composition of the nobility... and the convenience of transportation."
Asmo said this, he thought the situation was very interesting...
"Perhaps it was Her Royal Highness the Princess's handiwork. She made Yuanyicheng a new capital city without knowing it... This is an interesting situation."
In response to his words, the female demon of the deer asked: "So, what are we going there for?"
"..."
"To disrupt the situation...or see if I can use it."
Asmo said, making a gesture of putting down the chess pieces out of thin air...
…
Opposite him was the player who was sweating profusely.
