Chapter 1057 288. Chessboard, chess pieces
Annan placed the parchment next to the chessboard.
The invisible hand picked up the parchment and floated it in front of the Speaker.
[King Crow ordered Grand Duke Babataud to forget Princess Seles in the dungeon. 】
The first line silenced the chairman of the assembly.
"You have great courage," he said.
"I can't lie to you..." Annan showed a hint of nervousness.
For a chess piece rather than a chess player, he knows a little too much...
The chairman continued to read, and at the same time, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he continued to place his own chess pieces. .
Annan looked at the chessboard again and felt that it had a profound meaning...but he couldn't understand it. He only thought that the chess piece called the witch was quite beautiful.
"This is Baba Tod's conspiracy to pour dirty water on the king."
The floating parchment was silently annihilated, and no third person saw it.
"I also feel that your majesty is the king of Ruikaner, how can you betray your kingdom, your own people, and your own relatives?" Annan said sincerely and sarcastically.
"...But there is one thing that Babatot did not lie about. He was under the orders of others."
"Who else can instruct him?" Annan asked knowingly.
"You need to investigate this yourself."
A pass flew out of the congressman's long white sleeve robe.
"There should be clues in Babataud's manor, I'll leave the investigation to you."
"I understand."
Annan was not surprised to receive the pass. This job falls into his own hands.
"Go and find the murderer behind the scenes..."
I have found it, but you said it wasn't... Do I still need to find a fake one for you?
Annan thought silently, looked at the chessboard again, and exited the lounge.
“Phew, it’s killing me!”
Not long after Annan left, chattering sounds suddenly sounded in the quiet lounge.
"Little Annan's weird look is so cute, oh, my heart almost melts~"
The chairman ignored the staff and continued the unfinished knight chess game.
“You didn’t even say more to him, asked little Olmedo how he was doing, and still used him, is this really a good thing?”
“Because only he can Do it." The congressman didn't even raise his head.
"And let him risk it for you?"
"He will not be in danger. On the contrary, if he does what I say and doesn't do unnecessary things, there will only be benefits."
"You are always like this, treating everyone as pawns. Did you think you Are you a chess player? You are just a bigger chess piece! You can also make mistakes!"
The whole lounge echoed with the whine of the staff.
“You care about him?”
“Because he calls me senior! He is still the man of Little Olmedo. When I see him, I seem to see Little Olmedo... ..." The staff's eyes and mouth began to sob, "It's all your fault. If you didn't stand by, old Augusta wouldn't die, and she wouldn't hate us."
"She has never hated us."
"I don't believe it! She has never contacted us, as if she has forgotten us! Oh, my little Olmedo..." The staff looked sad. Tone.
Speaking of Olmedo, the Speaker no longer remained silent: "If I catch Annan, she will send a letter in which she affectionately calls me uncle. If I agree to join Liberty City, She will even come to the new royal capital in person."
"Why are you still waiting! Why don't you reunite with little Olmedo soon?"
The Councilor said nothing. Zang seemed to have thought of something, and his mood became depressed. He retreated and said, "Then let's arrest him?"
"You don't care that he is Olmedo's man?"
"Little Olmedo will forgive us!" the congressman completed the last move.
The old azure eyes swept across the chessboard, like a pair of eyes looking at the Kingdom of Rekaner from deep space...
...
Annan scratched his head and looked back at the palace
I always felt like I was involved in some terrible conspiracy... But it should be considered a good thing?
I am here to cause trouble. The more chaotic the new king's capital is, the faster the scale of victory will tip towards them.
Forget it, let’s do the current thing first.
Annan shook his pass and hurried to the mission location.
"New list...new list...new list..."
He hummed all the way back to the Purification Court to gather everyone, and then went to the manor of Archduke Babataud, took it over, and started to search...search!
As a grand duke, a grand duke of a kingdom, a grand duke of a kingdom without much conscience, the treasures he treasures can be described as piles of mountains.
Many nobles will have a set of tableware made of pure silver or gold. In Babataud's manor, a separate warehouse is needed to store these tableware.
The value cannot be seen, but it is obviously a priceless collection: a huge gold nugget that needs to be looked up at; a gold scepter studded with gems from a country that was once destroyed by the kingdom; a complete set that can withstand epics and damage The epic eight-ring magic circle; all kinds of precious magic materials in the alchemy room warehouse, dragon scales and dragon skins can be described as piles. There are countless oil paintings, statues, and antiques...
There is even half a leaf of the World Tree——
These good things were originally protected by the mechanism barrier, but they were all cracked by the chairman of the council, taking Annan's advantage.
No, it makes the kingdom cheaper.
Baba Tod is so rich that even if he gives 30% of Annan to the kingdom, he will feel distressed.
It took a whole day, but they probably moved out less than one-fifth of their belongings.
The nobles outside watched. Those who don't want to offend Mr. Olme are thinking about how to deal with him, while those who hate Mr. Olme to the core are thinking of making him crazy first in order to destroy him.
Annan, who was obsessed with making money, almost forgot about business.
However, the manor is too big and there are too many things, so we can’t find the clues the council leader wants for the time being. Annan did another business first: asking Olmedo for help.
......
The most secure Purification Court in the entire New King's Capital, Annan and Olmedo sat on both sides of the portal.
Olmedo watched as Annan asked for a knight's chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. After posing on his side, he moved on to Olmedo's side.
"Okay, this is the chess your uncle was playing at that time."
As the number one person in the kingdom, every move of the Council Chairman has deep meaning. It doesn't matter if Annan can't understand chess, just write it down for those who understand.
Look who still says that a warlock’s brain grows down there.
"This is..." Olmedo frowned.
"Can you see it?"
"Well, it's not complicated. It's just the war situation between us and the kingdom...the game of chess is not completed?"
"Yeah."
< br>Olmedo analyzed the situation as he spoke: "Uncle...the chairman of the assembly should have been sitting on my side. Your side is Liberty City."
"Then what?"
"The chessboard has not been finished yet. Your side is missing seven chess pieces, and my side is only missing four, but the most important lord chess piece has not been played. So I can only calculate the result of the current confrontation: there will be a large number of chess pieces on my side and The square is captured, and your pieces can drive straight into my castle..."
"Are you talking about chess?"
"Don't interrupt"
"Oh. .”
Annan followed Olmedo’s thinking.
Does the castle represent the kingdom, the new royal capital, or Crow?
But there seems to be no difference...
