"The chessboard props are just some gadgets. Don't you think adding a variable will make our duel very interesting?"
The king smiled, and he had already lowered the flag. Although no change could be observed with the naked eye, the aura on the chessboard became stronger.
"Ladies, is it fair for you to make judgments?"
Jenkins asked the three princesses, the youngest one wanted to speak, but was stopped by the eldest princess:
"Jenkins, we are just bystanders and have no reason to judge whether it is fair or not."
Yani Stuart said, but she has already formed an ally with Dolores, and even though she gave up entering the chessboard for some reason, she still does not intend to give up the alliance.
The eldest princess smiled and said to her father:
"But Viscount William is right. In order to make this night more interesting, maybe you should let us all know what these interesting props are about."
"You're going to cheat all the girls in our family sooner or later."
Salhi II said to Jenkins, his face was not reprimand, nor was his tone harsh:
"Well, let me explain the so-called props. Although I am not a superhuman, I also know that there are some special magical items in the cognition of superhumans, and these items can be passed down for a long time. In this game, we can all Take out such items as props that affect the game, but only one prop can be used in each action round, and the purpose declared by the prop does not have to be the real purpose, but the declaration must be in line with common sense, and the power it possesses must be Exceeds the claimed strength of the user."
"What kind of strange war chess game is this?"
Jenkins muttered in his heart, and nodded to understand the meaning of Salhi II. But then he thought that the fact that he was the gifter had not been exposed, and Queen Isabella even used her own life to test whether he was a superhuman. If he just took out those numbered items now, some people in Loen might not know it, but the three princesses present would know it...
His thoughts were also clear to Salhi II, but the old king just smiled and didn't speak. Jenkins knew that the other party had arranged this on purpose, and no matter what choice Jenkins made, he would be disadvantaged by himself.
"If I win, Dolores will follow my arrangement to ensure that my secret will not be leaked."
He said in a low voice, but the room was completely closed and very quiet, only the noisy sound from the chessboard. Everyone heard this sentence, and the complexions of the three princesses changed.
"Dolores also quickly understood the situation. She is a smart girl. First, send someone to find Princess Wendy Stuart and Princess Priscilla Stuart who are also on your side, and then call Agelina Stuart, who lives in the same house, understands the current situation of Loen recently. At the same time, she summoned all the people in this city who are loyal to her."
After listening to Jenkins, Sarhi II asked:
"So are you going to use the prop?"
"Yes of course."
Saying that, he reached into his pocket and took out the monocle. He wanted to put the glasses on the edge of the board like Salhi II did, but now that position was taken by the cat sitting there.
"Chocolate~"
He yelled softly, and picked up the very reluctant cat who was still behaving. Patting the cat's butt lightly, Chocolate kicked Jenkins with his hind paws in dissatisfaction, turned his head and looked at Jenkins, and saw Jenkins blinking at it with big amber eyes.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed lazily, and then felt Jenkins stuffing it with a heavy wooden grain of rice. Since the cane can grow, it can naturally shrink. This is the size that Jenkins can adjust to the cat can carry.
Put on the floor by Jenkins, Chocolate rolled the "rice grain" with its tail, and circled around Jenkins' legs twice. Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, but they were all paying attention to the chessboard, they swaggered out of the window, and the target Alexia of course.
"My glasses can help Dolores, Wendy, and Priscilla break through the fog, making it easier to discover the hidden secrets and the movements of the city."
Speaking of putting the glasses next to the chessboard, when it was put down, Jenkins felt a strange force from the chessboard, making the glasses and the chessboard a whole, not just a separate prop.
"It seems that you understand quickly."
Salhi II said, and then, together with the people at the table, looked at the development on the chessboard.
Loen, who was thousands of miles away, and the sudden appearance of princes and princesses made this seemingly peaceful night a little more noisy. But just as Salhi II and Jenkins said, the Stuarts, who were pawns, quickly understood the current situation and took active actions.
There were only three people on Jenkins' side, and Dolores and the two princesses acted on his cues, which was consistent with their way of thinking. But the princes and princesses controlled by Salhi II knew very well that once they were united with the eldest prince, even if their father defeated Willamette in this duel, they would not be able to get the crown.
Therefore, although Sallot Stuart tried to gather all the members of his side as his father thought, but only four people came to his house in the end.
People overlooking all this in Nolan can easily observe all the movements on the chessboard. The chessboard is very intelligent, and the actions of different characters can be presented on the chessboard at the same time with separate perspectives.
During the first half hour, Nolan was the only one talking in Salhi II's reception room. He kept commenting on the performance of his children, speculating on their thoughts, and speculating on the next step of the game.
The half-hour action ended quickly. In the first round, both sides only gathered their followers and followers. For the time being, no one noticed any abnormalities in the city tonight.
"Then let's go to the second round."
Said the king at the table, he seemed to be in good spirits, and in a good mood.
"Williamt, you can choose this time, will you come first or I will come first?"
he asked Jenkins.
"You come first."
Jenkins said.
"Well, while gathering his own team, Salot also sent a small number of servants to investigate the situation in the city. Now those servants will tell him the information they have collected, and everyone will arrange the next step based on the information. And Next, Salote will personally meet with General Aken, the commander of the Loen City Guards, and at the same time send his younger brother into the palace, trying to control the royal palace first."
"You really know your children well."
Jenkins said that Sarhi II ignored him and went on to give instructions to his other children separately. His instructions were not purely purposeful, but only for the Stuarts to take over various departments of the city. It seemed quite satisfactory, but Jenkins thought he would let Sarlot contact the Northern Guards ambushing outside the city.
Jenkins has not forgotten that there is a clone of Salxi II in Loen. This clone shares memory with the main body, and it will definitely cause some troubles in this match.
"So are you going to use props this round?"
Seeing that Salhi II had made arrangements for everyone, Jenkins asked.
"certainly."
Saying this, the king reached into his pocket again, and this time took out a ring. The ring is neither a diamond nor a gemstone, but a ring surface like a seal. This should be the private seal of a certain important person, but judging from the aura, this is also an item numbered B-11-3-5820 [Ancient Secret Ring] . Jenkins secretly guessed in his heart that the other party probably brought out all the conveniently portable numbered items in the royal palace:
"This is the ring used by the founding emperor of the ancient Shikali Empire, which represents the legitimacy of the ancient Shikali Empire. Even though the huge human empire has long been torn apart, its achievements in unifying the human world are indelible. Therefore, holding this Otherwise, it will be easier to convince others to be loyal, and it will be harder for people around you to have the idea of betrayal."
Jenkins didn't know what the original function of the ring was, and it wasn't that there were items that knew the number but couldn't find out the purpose. Obviously Salhi II's statement was accepted by the chessboard. The object of the ring's effect is of course Salot Stuart. He probably won't feel anything, but his actions tonight will definitely go smoothly .
"now you."
Salhi II reminded very politely, Jenkins looked at the chessboard hesitantly, then turned his head and said to the eldest princess:
"Can you bring us some tea, Your Highness Yani?"
Of course the princess nodded in agreement, and when she opened the door, Chocolate nimbly slipped in through the crack of the door, ran under the table, then grabbed Jenkins' pants and climbed onto his lap, lying in a familiar position, meowing Let Jenkins touch it, and it seems to have successfully completed the task.
"Don't treat my daughter like a servant."
Salhi II said.
"Do you want the two of us to pour tea? Or do you want the real servants to see this match?"
Jenkins asked, seeing that the other party stopped talking, he looked at the chessboard and said:
"I have heard the news temporarily, and Dolores and Wendy will use it to make the next arrangement. But although she has been away from Loen for a long time, Dolores is not ignorant of this kind of city's movements. She knows her own There is not enough manpower to integrate the large and small departments of the city, so she can only go directly to someone who can solve the problem—she will take her sisters to see the Duke of Rodbyer."
"You guys actually know that Rodbyer is in Loen?"
Sarhi II said in surprise that the Duke of Rodbyer was the one who Jenkins found talking to the clone of Sarhi II that night.
"Yes, Dolores' intelligence network is very powerful."
Jenkins pushed the source of the information to the so-called intelligence network. It happened that Yani Stuart also came back with a tea tray at this time, and her two younger sisters immediately helped to pour tea for the two men at the table.
PS: How could it be a running group? A routine that has been used once, I will not use it again.
