The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

The sharp gaze was retracted, and the Hurricane Lord's voice was calm, but not angry: "Hello, His Majesty the Pope, we are meeting for the first time, I am Segerhardt!"

Many people would be trembling and at a loss just to stand in front of the Hurricane Lord.

Ye Ling took a deep breath, feeling a little less oppressed. It was the first time he had met a powerful person like Segerhardt on an equal footing, and after becoming the Pope of Darkness, there should be many similar situations, and he had to learn to deal with them , otherwise, if you lose your composure, you will be easily underestimated by the other party.

The mysterious mask worked again. Although he was still a little uneasy, Ye Ling's voice was still calm: "Hello, Lord Segerhardt, I am Alexander XVII. Nice to meet you."

Segerhardt said again: "Also, Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for many years, and your demeanor is still the same. I still remember the first time you came to Dream Paradise with the archbishops of your religion, even though you were young , but you are full of vigor and courage, and you debated with me calmly, your sharp words almost made me unable to stand up and lose."

Having said that, a look of admiration flashed across Segerhardt's face. Obviously, he was very impressed with Lucy, above all the archbishops.

Lucy is used to big scenes, and she was still very relaxed in front of Segerhardt. She laughed: "The lord has praised you, haven't I failed to impress you in the end?"

"I was almost moved." Segerhardt said: "It was just a little bit, and even my thoughts were shaken."

"That's really a pity," Lucy sighed, and then asked again: "I wonder if the lord invited me and His Majesty the Pope to Dream Paradise today, what can we discuss?"

Segerhardt said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing important. I just want to get to know His Majesty the Pope. I should have come to visit in person. However, Hurricane City has a lot of business recently, and I can't get away for a while, so I have to excuse you I'm sorry to come here."

Ye Ling quickly said: "Where is it? Actually, I have also admired the names of Dream Paradise and Hurricane Lord for a long time, and I have long wanted to come and see it."

Having said that, Ye Ling thought in his heart that this old Jianghu must not be as simple as wanting to know himself, and must have other purposes, but he has not disclosed it for the time being.

But he was not in a hurry, because Seghardt would find out sooner or later.

Segerhardt said again: "Your Highness, Selina is very happy to hear that you are coming to Dream Paradise. Now she is waiting in the back garden. Do you think you should go there earlier?"

Lucy is very smart, and she can hear Segerhardt's desire to be alone with Ye Ling: "Oh, is that right, well, I miss Selena very much, so, Lord Segerhardt, you and Ye Ling We have a slow chat with His Majesty the Pope, I will excuse you first."

Ye Ling also understood Segerhardt's meaning, and seeing Lucy leave the reception room, she couldn't help being even more puzzled.

It seems that although Seghardt invited himself and Lucy on the surface, the focus is actually on himself.

After dismissing the dark goddess, Segerhardt still didn't mention any business, but suddenly said: "I wonder if His Majesty the Pope is proficient in war chess?"

War chess is one of the most popular chess games in the star world. It is a kind of leisure and entertainment that almost everyone knows. The chess pieces are composed of various professions and have different functions, such as fighters, assassins, boxers, thieves, and healers. , Singer, Summoner, Archer, Magician, and the characteristics of chess pieces are also related to occupations. For example, fighters have strong attack and defense, but slow movement, mainly melee attacks, and can occasionally attack several chess positions. However, the attack power will decrease because of this. The magician's defense is low, but the attack range is far, and some special attacks can be launched.When Ye Ling was at the Valkyrie Hall, Oscar taught Wu to him through a game of war chess.

I don't quite understand why Seghardt would be so excited to ask him to play chess, but Ye Ling hesitated and nodded: "I don't dare to say that I am proficient, I know a little bit!"

"Your Majesty the Pope is humble," Segerhardt said with a chuckle, "To tell you the truth, I am a chess fan. If possible, how about we play a game? During this time, I have an endgame and I don't know what to do. untie."

Ye Ling didn't want to spoil his interest, so he said, "Okay, then I'll teach the lord how to play chess."

"Haha, good!" Segerhardt was clearly prepared, and immediately took out a chessboard, unfolded it quickly, and it floated in mid-air, and then Ye Ling realized that this chessboard was huge, not an ordinary one. , it was five meters wide and more than ten meters long!

This kind of war chess is very flexible. Under the general rules, the size of the board and the number of pieces can be expanded to increase the fun. However, because war chess is much more complicated than chess, it is half a meter wide and one meter long. A conventional chessboard is enough to make many people rack their brains. Even for experts, the area of ​​the special chessboard they build is generally not more than five times that of the conventional chessboard. However, the area of ​​Segerhardt’s chessboard has reached the conventional chessboard. A hundred times!

Countless chess pieces flew out of the Hurricane Lord's spatial jewelry in dense numbers, and landed on each position of this astonishingly huge chess board accurately, and finally formed a game. Segerhardt pointed to the chess board and said: "Far away!" You are a guest, His Majesty the Pope, please invite me first!"

Even a very good chess player would probably feel dizzy just looking at this super complicated chess game, how could he know how to play.

But Ye Ling's chess skills are not only excellent, but also can be said to be one of the few masters in the star world, because he was inspired by the chessboard power of the master tactician in the Valkyrie Temple.

Surprised, Ye Ling began to observe the chess game. Although the chess game was extremely complicated, Ye Ling quickly understood it, and then he was surprised to find that the game played by Segerhardt was not simple. , implying infinite mystery.

The position distribution of the chess pieces, and the most favorable move they may take, are vaguely the epitome of the size of the gray restricted area, its development trend, and the conflict of interests. Segerhardt reflected this intricate relationship on the sub-super board. !

Only now did Ye Ling realize that Segerhardt was not just playing chess with him, but had other deep meanings.

The chess game is too big, and many chess pieces can no longer be touched with both hands. With a flick of Ye Ling's index finger, one of the chess pieces moves forward a few steps. According to the layout of the chess game, this chess piece represents the Dark Holy See.

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Segerhardt's mouth. If Ye Ling couldn't see the mystery of this game and made a wrong first move, then this game of chess was just a game of chess, and he was not qualified to compete with himself. Talk about more stuff.

Compared to Ye Ling, the Hurricane Lord is more chic, he didn't even move his hands, the breeze moved a chess piece to the next step, with the Hurricane Lord's proficiency in controlling the wind, it was a breeze.

This move is excellent. The two groups of black pieces that were originally separated are immediately connected together, forming a siege and pincer attack on the blue side, which represents the dark Holy See. If this dilemma is not solved in time If so, the chess pieces representing the dark Holy See will be swallowed up soon.

Ye Ling's brows twitched, because Segerhardt's move happened to be similar to the crisis that the Holy See encountered some time ago when the Supreme Sect and the Rebirth Sect joined forces.With a flick of Ye Ling's hand, one of black's pieces is captured. This black piece's status to the chess game is similar to that of a pawn in chess. Far inferior to a pawn, it was originally insignificant, but after this black piece was eaten, the two large groups of black pieces that were already connected as one were suddenly cut off from it, and the two groups of black pieces instead Each of them has become the obstacle of the other, which is similar to Ye Ling's plan to divorce the Rebirth Sect and the Supreme Sect when they joined forces.

The situation continued to change, and the chess pieces representing the Rebirth Sect began to expand, gradually occupying more chess positions. On the red side, the chess pieces representing the Dark Holy See stopped moving, allowing the black chess pieces to expand. , just use other batches of adjacent red chess pieces to restrain the black chess pieces, preventing them from entering the range of the red chess pieces representing the dark forces.

More and more chess pieces joined in as they moved, and the expansion of the chess pieces representing the Rebirth Sect triggered a chain reaction, which continued to spread, and the speed of the confrontation between the two also changed from slow to fast, because Every move of the chess piece has an impact on the whole body. Although the chess game is super big, if you make a wrong move, you may lose the whole game.

Ye Ling was more and more surprised, because he found that the changes in Segerhardt's chess game reflected the future turmoil and chaos that might occur in the gray forbidden area, some of which Ye Ling had already anticipated, and some of which were his own. Unpredictable, but it is likely to happen, and it will bring significant changes to the Dark Holy See.

This is not a game of chess at all, but a simulated battlefield of future turmoil in the gray forbidden area!

No matter what the result of this game of chess is, it will definitely be of great benefit to me afterwards, because I have obtained many things that I have overlooked from the hints of Segerhardt through the game. If the Dark Holy See encounters the same situation in the future, he will also More sure to handle it!

I don't know when it started, the chain reaction caused by the expansion of the batch of red chess pieces representing the Rebirth Sect finally reached its limit, and the chess pieces of both sides finally stopped occupying the territory, and turned to the fierce fighting stage, and the chess pieces began to decrease continuously.However, when most of the hundreds of chess pieces representing the dark forces in the chess game have become stragglers, there are two groups of chess pieces that have never been reduced by one. One of them is the dark church, and the other represents the dream. Heaven, they didn't have an advantage in the first place, and they used the restraint of all parties to keep themselves, so they were intact in the storm that swept the entire chess game.

Segerhardt stopped suddenly and didn't move any chess pieces anymore. It wasn't that there were no more pieces to move, but that it was unnecessary, because Ye Ling had already passed his test.

Amidst the loud laughter, Lord Hurricane stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your chess skills are really good. Now, we can talk about forming an alliance!"

Hearing the sensitive word "alliance", Ye Ling was startled, and lost his voice: "What!?"
