1:207 Plotting for the Dark Cloud (Part I)
The next day. There are still two days left before the duel with Grand Duke Hall.
In the chess room, Arthur looks at a Persian cat that Hale has brought. The blond fluffy fur made the cat look very imposing, and Hall held the cat, but the cat kept staring at Arthur with its beautiful blue eyes.
"It's—" "Hey, Wallace, we're here to meet our heavenly knight, Lord Arthur!" Hale raised Arthur with the Persian cat's front paws.
"Does the Grand Duke still have the leisure to keep a pet?" said Arthur.
"Well, I've always kept it, but the children in the orphanage liked Wallace so much that they put him there to take care of him for the time being. You see this smooth coat color, the children must have combed him very carefully. That's great. "Uh, okay. Arthur looked at the cat, not knowing what to say, "As long as he doesn't get in the way of us playing chess." "Well, about that, Arthur—" Archduke Hall placed Wallace the Persian cat on the table, in front of the chessboard.
The cat looked at the chessboard, immediately stretched out its paws, and moved a pawn.
Arthur looked at the cat playing with chess pieces, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Wait a minute, Grand Duke, don't you mean to say—" "Yes, your opponent today is Wallace. Grand Duke Hall said earnestly.
"You're kidding me, aren't you?!" Arthur's eyes widened, he was going to play against a cat?!
"Grand Duke, this joke is not funny at all!" Arthur said, "I see, because I played chess so badly yesterday, and you are punishing me, are you?" "Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Hall smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out with Wallace in the next game." Arthur looked at the Persian cat sitting proudly like a king on the table. The cat also looked at Arthur, and the cat's blue eyes seemed to see through Arthur's everything.
"Meow?" Wallace stretched out his paw and motioned for Arthur to play chess.
You're kidding me, aren't you? It's just a cat -- a cat -- that's it?
With Arthur Zuihou a legion of kings to be checkmated, Arthur realizes the horror of this cat. Arthur didn't even have a chance, his ten legions were completely suppressed by the other side to fight, and it was when the other side did not lose a single legion at all!
Indeed, Arthur was a little underestimated at first, after all, the opponent was a cat. However, after Arthur found out that his first legion had been checkmated, he began to show his real skills. However, there is still no chance of winning. When he arrived at Zuihou, he planned to break the jar and break it, at least one of the opponent's legions, but he had already been beaten and had no power to fight back.
Ten of Arthur's legions were wiped out in sixty rounds!
What the hell is this cat?!Is he a shijie champion in chess?!His chess power is even higher than Hall!?
"How's my son doing?" Hale sneered, smug and boastful, "He's the best chess player in all of Pantoraken." That was fifty years ago. Arthur couldn't believe it. This is an old cat who has lived for fifty years, and is he also a genius chess player?
Arthur's mind began to mess up.
"That's all for today, you go. Hall said to Arthur.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Arthur was about to be reprimanded.
"Nope. You are much better today than yesterday, even better than the day before yesterday. Hall said.
"Let's go, don't get in the way of me playing chess with Wallace." "It's not easy to deal with Wallace, I'll have to play chess with all my energy." Arthur wondered in his heart that he was not as good as a cat, and Hall chose between cats and Arthur, and he would rather choose a cat to play chess with him.
"Meow~" Wallace waved his cat's paw at Arthur, as if to say goodbye to Arthur. Angry, Arthur rushed out of the chess room.
At noon, Constantine checked on the bear-man boy's condition.
Where the bear's head meets the body of the grizzly bear, the white coat color slowly expands.
"Uh, all the hair on his body has turned white?" Constantine asked.
"Probably because the white bear man's own photons flowed into the bear's body. "That's normal. The white bear man, who has a strong vitality and regenerative ability, has gone from having only one head to slowly eroding and possessing this new body. He's recovering, I'm sure of that. "Really?" Constantine laughed, "that's great." Well, what's the name of you?" the white bear boy slowly moved his hand and stroked Constantine's head. At the same time, he spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "Elaine—Lay—Ann—" "Elaine? Constantine smiled, "Advice, Brother Elaine." The White Bear Man tried to squeeze out a smile, but he had already exhausted all his strength with just a few moves and a word. He fainted.
"Don't bother him, let him rest more and save some energy. Greenway said.
"Okay. Constantine said and walked out.
"Where are you going?" "Go to see another patient." Constantine said.
He took a detour and entered another medical room.
The leopard warrior Corvis sat quietly in front of his youngest son's bed, quietly looking at the unconscious Lavis (Thorville).
"Hmm, there's a little imp hanging out in the Knights' base?" Corvis looked at Constantine, who immediately sniffed Arthur's scent from the boy, and he turned to say, "Oh, it's a friend of Lord Arthur." It's rude. "Uncle. Constantine walked into the infirmary, "Are the injuries on your body okay?" I saw a lot of machinery in you when I stitched your body." weishenme, you're going to put those mechanical things in your body, isn't that uncomfortable?" "Did you help me get those implants out?" Leopard man Kovis looked at Constantine, who was obviously just a child—"Well, it's very uncomfortable. Uncle was also forced. The uncle was too stupid and was deceived by the bad guys, not only harming himself, but also the children. "This brother is also because-" "No, Towell is not injured. Strangely, the doctor never diagnosed anything wrong. "He's just been in a coma like this, and he can't wake up." "Tovir, who was devoured by the shadows and turned into a monster, was about to completely disappear in consciousness, but Zuihou momentarily, his body and his younger brother Lavis's body were reversed, so his shattered consciousness slept in the depths of Lavis's body, leaving only one breath, constantly tormented by nightmares.
Until the moment of salvation.
"So, no matter how superb you are, you won't be able to save Lavis. Don't bother anymore. Colvis said, his voice tinged with desperation.
At the same time, Tovel (Lavis) was on his side.
The Leopard Man Boy sat on the sidelines, bored as he watched Bedwell and Tristan practice their swordsmanship.
"Bedi also taught me swordsmanship, meow, boring meow. "Well, a little while. The werewolf boy pauses (Tristan smacks Bedeville on the head with his wooden sword), "Well, I don't want to teach you that. Lancelot also said in the past that if you teach people swordsmanship casually, if you learn the trick badly, it will be difficult to correct it later. "Well, if only Lancelot could teach you. Bediwell sighed.
"I don't know any Lancelot, I'm Knight X. A voice said suddenly.
"What?" Bediwell followed the prestige, and a masked man in a cloak appeared in front of him.
"Lancelot!" Bediwell exclaimed happily, "long time no see!" "I said it, I'm not Lancelot, I'm Knight X." The masked man said.
"Poof. Tristan snickered.
"But you're here, Weishenme Lance X?" asked Beddywell.
"He's my bodyguard. "There's a guy behind Knight X. It's Justinian.
"Hello everyone, we meet again. Justinian saluted and said, "I want to meet with Lord Arthur, the Heavenly Knight." "Look, Lord Justinian?" said Bediwell, "Your Excellency Weishenme will be here?" "Mr. Bediville, there is an envoy sent from Rome, and of course he will appear here." Justinian was polite, as if he didn't mind Bediville's abrupt question.
"Yes, yes. Bedivel thought, he thought to himself, how strange it was for the Roman emperor to send such an important man as an envoy.
"Arthur should still be in Grand Duke Hall's chess room. Bedi said he didn't know that Arthur had already lost and walked away.
"Haode, I'm going to find him now. Good morning, everybody. Justinian took two steps and suddenly said to the chivalrous man X, "X, you don't have to come with you, just as Mr. Bediwell said, teach this Mr. Leopard Man swordsman." "But, Your Excellency, your safety—" "It's okay, the Southern Heavenly Knights are so heavily guarded, and the personal safety of the people below is absolutely guaranteed. Justinian smiled and walked away without looking back.
Lancelot walked over helplessly, "Kid, pick up the wooden sword and play a few tricks for me to see?" Arthur had just walked into the medical room of the Covis father and son, and saw that Constantine was also chatting with the leopard warriors in the medical room, he suddenly sneered: "Constantine, stay away from that big cat, he is a villain who specializes in catching children and roasting them to eat." "No!" Constantine said, looking at Korvis suspiciously and then shrinking aside, "Wouldn't it?" The leopard man looked at Arthur angrily, "Lord Arthur, are you here to tease the villain?" I don't have time to talk to you. Arthur said, "Constantine, Greenway told you to go to the third medical room. "Well, well—" After the boy left, Arthur looked at Lavis (Thorwell) on the hospital bed, "This kid woke up last night. "What?!" Covis jumped up from his chair. Then he strained the wound, and it hurt so much that he bared his teeth, "But—" "It's just the value of the monitoring machine. Arthur fiddled with the infusion bottle hanging in front of the hospital bed, "I don't know if he actually woke up, but he must be getting better." This may have something to do with Towell's proximity. "Is it related?" "They're twins, right?" Arthur analyzed, "so they must have some kind of spiritual connection." They—" "Finally found you, Lord Arthur, the Heavenly Knight. Justinian interrupted Arthur.
Arthur turned his head, "Isn't this His Excellency Justinian?, why are you here?" "Well, as an envoy to Rome, I've been in London before, but—" Justinian looked at the leopard man beside him, "Can we borrow a place to talk?" "Okay." Arthur turned to Corvis and said, "Wait a minute. After I had finished talking to His Excellency Justinian, I came over at once. The Leopard Man nodded, and he sensed from Justinian's tone that it was some big man, and he was anxious to talk to Arthur about something important, so he compromised.
