Food Poems

Chapter 64: Is this how you play chess?

The talent bestowed by Ratatoskr, "Harmless to People and Animals", has the passive effect of increasing affinity.

Invisibly, this created more conditions for Yeats to poison others in the future.

"The plan you just proposed has also benefited me." Zuanya said, "But I am worried that you will go too far. After I leave, there will be no one to help you deceive the gods, so I give you a blessing."

"This blessing can make you look like a harmless little squirrel in the eyes of powerful people, so that some of your actions will be ignored."

Zuanya stood on the desk by the windowsill, the golden light shining into the room fell on his fluffy hair, he covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Isn't it amazing?"

Ye Zhi was surprised. It turned out that this was what the talent description about "reducing presence" meant.

This is exactly what I lack, and it can create more room for my development!

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "But, are you leaving now?"

"All good things must come to an end one day. The gods usher in the evening and the feast will eventually end."

The squirrel's eyes became deep, with a serious tone that Yeats could not understand, and then he said with a smile:

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Yeats. I look forward to meeting you again."

See you next time. I wonder how Squirrel Diaoya will stir up trouble and what kind of fun he will have.

Ye Zhi thought to himself… I do know that there are many plots in the game where conflicts break out between gods, and Zuanya must be behind this.

Although it tried to stir up trouble between Gray, Hilde, and me, this is probably its character.

The apple of youth obtained by cooperating with it helped me improve my physical condition, and the gift it gave me was also very useful.

The key is that with it, I can even benefit from the conflict between the Goddess of Darkness and the Goddess of the Moon.

Thinking of this, Yeats said from the bottom of his heart: "I will miss you, Diamond."

Zuanya nodded and said, "I will also look forward to working with you next time, Ye Zhi. If we work together, we will definitely be able to achieve greater success!"

"Hey hey hey..."

They both laughed slyly at the same time.

Cold sweat slowly flowed down Gray's forehead.

The night of the lunar eclipse is scary enough, and you two are planning to do something even bigger?
Being Yeats's bodyguard is a very difficult job.

Gray tilted her head, trying to seek Hildre's approval, but found that there was a hint of wildness in the red-haired girl's eyes and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Noticing Gray's gaze, Hildreth smiled with relief and said:

“Isn’t it interesting?”

Gray: (｀へ)
Is there no normal person in this room?

Immediately, Gray took a bite of the golden apple pie, cupped her cheek, and her previous displeasure disappeared.

Gray: (=▽｀)ゞ

As long as I can eat such delicious snacks after the battle, it is worth taking a few more risks!
Yeats had already prepared himself mentally for Zuanya's departure, but at the last moment, Zuanya handed him a golden melon seed.

Ye Zhi weighed the melon seeds in his hand and found them quite heavy. He said in surprise:
"Are these melon seeds of yours made of gold?"

"Where can I get the gold for you? Of course it's made of magic." Diamond rolled his eyes and continued, "You can use it to cast a large-scale chaos spell. It's a little compensation for the test I just gave you."

Ye Zhi solemnly put away the golden melon seed, put it in the inner pocket of his robe, and said curiously:

"Before you go, can I ask you one last question?"

"Speak."

"Drilling teeth, how powerful are you?"

When Yeats asked this question, Hilde and Gray also looked over and stared at the dental drill on the desk.

Zuanya looked around at everyone, his face full of mystery: "Do you really want to know?"

The three nodded.

Zuanya raised his head proudly and said, "You know the legendary beast, the Chaos Wolf, right?"

Yeats was slightly startled. It was the legendary wolf in "Phantom Wings" that swallowed the arm of Tyr, the god of justice and war, leaving Tyr disabled for life.

The power of this demon wolf even frightens the gods. Legend has it that it died in the last era, but its great reputation still lingers in the world!

Zuanya was very satisfied with the expressions of the three people and crossed his arms: "What about the Midgard Python? I think you have heard of it too?"

A legendary monster living in the endless deep sea of ​​the Midgard continent. Its terrifying legend is recorded in the four great epics "Edda". It can compete with the god of storm and thunder!
Hildre's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that..."

Zuanya said proudly: "I can't beat either of them."

"But even if they do, they won't hurt me." The little squirrel chuckled, "Who says I'm a harmless tooth?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Indeed, I have enough qualifications to be proud.

"You don't have to worry about seeing them, because..."

The squirrel opened his mouth but didn't say anything else. He leaned on the windowsill and jumped up:

"Goodbye then!"

Hey, why are you only saying half of what you want to say?

Yeats leaned on the window sill and looked down. He saw citizens in linen clothes walking on the street, but the tooth was nowhere to be seen.

"You left so suddenly." Gray came to Ye Zhi's side and looked at the street scene, "I thought I could ask Zuanya to help deal with the ancient dragon."

"I suspect it is not good at frontal combat. Like me, it is a person who gives advice and suggestions." Yeats said calmly.

At this moment, Gray seemed to notice something strange and stared at Ye Zhi's cheek for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhi was a little surprised. "No, I just suddenly felt that you looked like a squirrel." Gray said happily.

Yeats: “That doesn’t sound like a good thing.”

On the side, Hildreth couldn't help laughing: "The metaphor of squirrel is very appropriate, cute and cunning, very lovable."

Gray looked at Hildreth in surprise, as if there was some misunderstanding.

"What I mean is..." Hild glanced at Ye Zhi, paused for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Just now a matter has been resolved. Who wants to play a game of chess?"

Yeats took the initiative to participate.

I've heard that Valkyrie has poor chess character. Let me see what's going on?
-

In the VIP room of the Chamber of Commerce Inn, Ye Zhi and Hildreth were sitting beside a king chess table.

The red-haired beauty had a cold temperament and beautiful features. Her brows were furrowed as she stared at the chess pieces in the black and white squares.

The Black King she held was in check against the White Queen, leaving her in a dilemma.

Although Yeats did not know how to play King's Chess, this was a compulsory course for the nobility, and he had some chess skills in his past.

On the other hand, although Hilde was the chosen one of the Black Knight, the 'creator of King's Chess', she made many stupid moves and was defeated after several rounds.

"Don't think about it. It's a dead end. Let's play the next one." Ye Zhi said.

Hildreth calmly touched the black horse with his arm, causing it to move one space, then picked up the chess piece and placed it down.

"I can go here."

"You just moved the horse to the side. Don't think I didn't see it." Ye Zhi pointed out mercilessly.

Hild put down the chess piece, scratched the red hair beside his ear, and begged, "Then, let me regret one more move?"

Ye Zhi: "You have already regretted several moves. Even if the Black Knight comes, you have lost the game."

Hildreth put her hand on her forehead, and suddenly switched the positions of the king and the soldier, successfully escaping from the siege of Yeats's queen.

Ye Zhi's eyes widened: "Huh? What kind of operation is this?!"

Hildurde: "King's pawn change."

"There is only King-Rook Castling, where is the King-Pawn Castling?" Yeats couldn't accept it.

"The king disguised himself as a soldier, escaped from the royal city, and waited to make a comeback later. This is 'King's Exchange of Places'," said Hildreth.

Your explanation is actually quite plausible!

Ye Zhi glared at Hildreth: "Think about it yourself, is there such a rule in King's Chess?"

Hildre's cheeks flushed slightly. She avoided Ye Zhi's questioning gaze and whispered:
"This is a new rule that the Black Knight just made. I asked her about it."

Ye Zhi was stunned.

Can you still play like this?

"If you don't know how to play chess, you can practice more."

Ye Zhi persuaded, "If you can't afford to lose, no one will play chess with you in the future."

Hearing this, Hildreth looked at Ye Zhi and said seriously:
"Can you teach me how to play chess?"

Yeats: “Ah?”

"In return, I will teach you some swordplay."

Hildre picked up the knight chess piece on the table: "It will allow you to perform combat skills like a knight."

That sounds pretty good.

Ye Zhi fell into deep thought…After eating the apple of youth, I have excellent qualifications to practice combat skills.

With the personal instruction of the Valkyrie, my swordsmanship is bound to improve by leaps and bounds.

At this time, Ye Zhi lowered his head and looked at the chessboard that had returned to its original state.

"…So, you put all the pieces back in place, right?"

"Winning or losing doesn't matter in the teaching game." A strong desire to win surged in Xilude's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "One more game!"

In the background story, in a chess game where the lives of his comrades were at stake, Hildreth, who did not know how to play chess, killed a devil with a chessboard and achieved the optimal solution.

Even the Black Knight, who had very poor chess ethics, favored Hildreth.

Yeats sighed.

Just play chess, who can beat you?
-

The sun is shining brightly, illuminating the forest by the lake.

A snow-white owl stood on a stone, flattened the spell scroll with its claws, and stared at the runes on the scroll, its eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

For a second-level Snow Owl, learning third-level spells is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

But this doesn't bother it at all.

As long as you are willing to spend time solving the problems, even slightly difficult ones can be solved!
"Gu!" In broad daylight, the Snowy Owl looked back and forth at the scroll with sharp eyes.

Only the weak need to sleep, a magician just needs to acquire knowledge!
At this moment, a gray owl flapped its wings and flew over. It caught a glimpse of the strange snowy owl out of the corner of its eye and its eyes widened instantly.

Owl: Σ┗(＠ロ＠;)┛

This owl was created by the magic master Kendara using the magic of Transfiguration.

At this moment, Candela, who had already glimpsed the legendary realm, was filled with surprise.

Goddess of Magic, what do I see?
A second-level owl is learning magic on his own, and the spell he is learning is a third-level spell? !
