Chapter 2133 The chess reaches a stalemate
In the church where the storm never stops, there is a room illuminated by warm candlelight. From a distance, it seems that the dim light blocks the violent storm outside the window, and Not that thin glass.
The room is not big, and the furnishings are very simple. There is a huge wooden desk, several small wooden cabinets, antique porcelain and incense burners. Those incense burners are still emitting faint fireworks, simple and brown. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, most of which are some kind of ancient Terran characters written on white rice paper and black ink, but the one that stands out is the painting.
It is different from all the mainstream oil paintings in the empire. It seems that light ink is splashed directly on the white paper, and then a few scribbles are drawn. You can see the mountains shrouded in clouds and the foot of the mountains. There is a small river next to the ancient road, and the river crosses a wooden bridge. On the bridge, a man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat is standing fishing. Four strange silhouettes can still be seen on the top of the mountain, seeming to be overlooking the fishing at the bottom of the mountain. who.
On the carpet in the room, there are two figures, one large and one small, sitting on chairs and staring attentively at a thick wooden table. There is a wooden board on the wooden table. There are many black and white colors on the surface of the wooden board. The two-color small beads are spread out in an orderly manner, forming an orderly and abstract pattern.
The tall man was Chaghatai wearing a herdsman's robe, and the other man was the Bewitcher wearing a mask.
After gently placing the teacup in his hand on the edge of the table, he heard a crisp sound, like a gentle knock on the door. No hesitation.
After making the move, Chagatai lightly twirled his beard and whispered:
"Although Riemann is occasionally reckless, he is not stupid. After I met him last time, I thought about it again and again. It feels like he has something else on his mind."
The bewitcher raised his arm, but the white chess piece has not yet been placed.
Jaghatai couldn't see the other person's face because it was separated by a mask, just like he could never see through his father.
“Everything is not a coincidence.”
In the end, the white chess piece was placed. Chagatai narrowed his eyes slightly, and the layout was already in place - Black took the advantage, White took the The situation on the ground was such that it was hard to tell who was in the lead for a while.
“It seems that the reason why Riemann went to Veronica was because Elena found him, and the reason why Elena found him was because Sheba gave her power. Sheba said it was because he felt sorry for her. "
Chagatai picked up the chess piece, thought about it for a moment, and then dropped it into the chess game.
"You mean, someone is instigating or entrusting mother."
Heizi almost followed Baizi down.
“Who knows.”
“The nature of Sheba determines that she is never a controllable person. Sensibility and passion are the source of her power. This cannot be changed. Just like most of your brothers."
Chagatai thought for a moment, picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said:
"But I think Riemann has his own ideas."
"This may not be other people's ideas."
Putting down the tea cup again, Chagatai put his fingers into the chess case. But he didn't take it out immediately, but looked at the person in front of him and asked:
"Is it a mortal?"
The confused man sighed lightly and shook his head.
"I don't know. Although we are all one, he is the only one. He is the original intention and the original intention, so we will never know his true thoughts."
Chagatai Ye Then with a sigh, he picked up the black chess piece and placed it again, and the white piece followed suit. There was no pause for thought between the two sides. They quickly alternated their moves. For a while, big beads and small beads fell onto the jade plate, and the chess pieces collided and knocked on the chessboard. With the rhythmic music, the chess path is like the mountain scenery in the mist, looming, seeming and not, erratic, but extremely profound.
At this time, a sudden turning point occurred. The black chess piece was like a huge wrench, dividing the white chess piece into two eyeless and inactive chess shapes. From this, close combat was inevitable, and the chess game suddenly entered the final and intense stage. In the midst of incomparably attacking each other. Suddenly, the confused man chose to abandon the piece boldly. Suddenly, the whole white piece was like a fish out of water. He turned his whole body over with force, giving the corner that he had already occupied to the black piece, and he But a thick high wall was built on top of the black chess piece, overlooking the midsection.
Suddenly, the chess game changed from Black taking the advantage to Black taking the land, and White took the advantage, just like the stars had changed.
There was a temporary calm between the two sides.
"Puzzler, then did you have another purpose in asking me to find Corax?"
"I just want to confirm one thing."
"What is it?"
"What exactly is Riemann going to do?"
Chagatai raised an eyebrow.
"That's it? You should know what Corax is doing. As soon as he leaves, the other person can't stay idle."
After a moment of grace, he dropped the sunspot. In fact, this It was already a dead end. No matter what he did, he was destined to be completely defeated, but what did it matter?
Winning or losing is a concept that he has forgotten for a long time.
There are too many tragedies caused by these two words.
Facing the impending failure, Chagatai just picked up the tea cup again with a normal expression, but when he saw that there were no more drops of tea left in it, he put it down with a wry smile.
“After leaving Terra, I heard that Russ became obsessed with the art of divination, just like those kings who failed and tried to find comfort in mysticism or superstition. After he ran away from Fenris, We didn't see each other again for a long time, until more than 4,000 years ago. I asked him what he was doing these days, and he said that he was looking for the remains of the ancient ones. In order to find such things, he might have left briefly. Crossing the Milky Way, he didn't say whether he found it, but I guess he might have gained something, because I found that he always carried a strange cloth bag on his waist, which contained some rattling things, like It’s a bone or some other small artifact. The most common divination object used by Fenris shamans is bones.”
The Bewitcher picked up a white piece from the chess box for the last time, but did not place it immediately. Instead, he held it up in front of him and said slowly:
“We never know whether the next step we take will result in a right or a wrong result. Maybe a step-by-step victory will result in a final failure. And failure after failure may also lead to final victory. Eternity is too far away and thousands of years are too long. I can only try my best to use mistakes to prove correctness, use correctness to refute mistakes, and confirm my own strength in this contradiction. Value. ”
When the white piece falls, the entire chess game ends with the white piece killing all the black pieces.
Chagatai shook his head and stood up. The confused man looked at him and asked softly:
"Are you leaving? Let's have two more sips of tea."
"Ah, I It has been delivered to you. If you wait a little longer, I am afraid that those bugs in Comoros will do something else. I have killed hundreds of assassins who went to kill Veronica, but there will always be some who slip through the net. "
"Excuse me, this problem will be solved soon."
Chagatai laughed dryly, turned around and walked towards the door of the room without saying anything. As soon as he opened the door, he thought of something, turned around and said:
"Actually, the other reason why you asked me to call Corax away was to lure that person out, right?" Hetai was silent for a moment, turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Thunder Stone, the wind and rain remain the same.
