Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 4: Lesson 1
It's been six years, and I don’t know when it will begin, and the prince is not too disgusted with the current life: away from disputes and calculations, death and blood.
Class, training~IndoMTL.com~Chess, play, access control...
Wya, Rolf, Edda...
Risban, Nicolai, Justin, Jinx...
And that girl.
But Thales knew that there was always a small voice in his heart reminding himself that after Putila's arrival, this voice became clearer and clearer. For him who was born with difficulty, it would not last long.
Fate will not be good for no reason, accidents always come suddenly.
For example...
The prince sighed, opened the book "The Beginning and End of the Knights of Human Light", and took out a familiar sky blue invitation from it.
Tyles looked at the beautiful swashes on it, there are only three words:
Are you ready?
The prince shook his head, raised his head again, and looked at Ashida who suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
The weird thing is that such an obvious living person appeared in the box, opposite the prince...
But everyone who can see him, whether it's Wiya, Rolf, Justin behind him, or even the soldiers on countless streets and buildings, seems to have not seen him: their eyes swept from time to time. There was no response to the position of the magician.
It's like this person doesn't exist.
This disturbed Thales, he had to adjust his breathing and control his heartbeat.
This is not the first time.
Calm down.
He comforted himself.
"Don't worry, they can neither hear my voice nor see my existence. Air is a very interesting thing. If you adjust it a little, there will be miracles." The Qi magician did not lift his head, rubbing his hands. Of chess pieces.
"After all, there is only one black sword in the world."
Ashida is still so handsome, her dark brown curly hair is still pleasing to the eye, and his robe is as clean as new, as if he had suddenly passed from six years ago to six years later, ignoring the passing of time.
"Yes," Thales frowned slightly: "Impressed."
"You have grown up."
Aishida raised his eyes calmly, and a blue light loomed behind his eyes: "It seems to be very leisurely, and there is no conscious of being a hostage of a country."
Thyls didn't look at the other person's expression. He grabbed a **** and moved it forward one space: "Do I want to cry every day, looking forward to some disaster that can upset the world to save me?"
Aishida didn't care about his irony, just focused on him, but on the magician's chessboard, a **** moved forward by itself.
"I hope you still remember your identity, I mean your true identity," the Qi magician said softly: "Don't be too deep, and don't be too high-profile, so as not to be difficult to extricate yourself."
Thyls whistled and shook his head.
"In order to take me away, the guy who almost destroyed Longxiao City seems to be you." Thales moved another step.
Ashida did not speak, and her expression did not change.
"As someone who has disappeared for six years and brought nothing except the invitation five years ago," Thales took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "It doesn't seem to be qualified either. Say?"
Really.
I almost thought he was sealed.
The invitation until five years ago contained only one sentence: prepare the classroom and wait patiently.
Until...
Tyles looked at the blue invitation that had appeared suddenly the day before yesterday, and sighed again.
"I disappeared for a reason." Ashida's gaze returned to the chessboard, and the second **** moved forward strangely: "The appearance of Giza is not a trivial matter, not just the Queen of the Sky. During the year, many existences have visited Longxiao City overtly and secretly, including enemies that you and I should be wary of. I am not sure that I will not be discovered."
The enemy?
Thyls caught the word.
"So I need to wait low-key until the most dangerous time passes," the magician glanced around: "and in the days I left, you did a good job and found a good place."
Thyls let out a sigh, moved the **** to take one of Ashida's pawns, and turned the **** into a swordsman: "For this unsuspecting occasion and excuse, I deliberately prepared for three years. ."
"This is the sorrow of worldly bondage," Ashida moved the third **** again, as if he didn't care about Thales's swordsman: "I still said the same thing: think about it, follow me? You? You don’t have to worry so much about preparing the classroom."
Aishida raised her head and looked at Thales with a deep look.
The prince rubbed his fingers, grabbed a shield warrior, and moved it diagonally, trying to block the opponent's three pawns.
"I thought we made it clear enough," Thales sighed: "What you need is a king to do things that were not possible before."
"But you are in a difficult situation," Ashida kept the knight from moving out of the space of the three pawns without stopping, while restraining the rampaging swordsman and the shield warrior who was about to intercept: "To be honest, even if your performance is amazing , But I am still not optimistic about whether you can be crowned smoothly."
"If you are still only going to talk nonsense, then we can end it early." Thales quickened his tone, slightly displeased, he grabbed a sling crossbow, jumped over two chess pieces, and put it in a threat The position of the opposing knight.
Ashida showed a chilling smile that Thales had seen.
"Where is that armed?"
"The one that sealed Giza six years ago," the magician whispered: "I thought you would at least bring it with you when you came to see me."
On the chessboard, a **** belonging to Ashida suddenly moved forward and became a swordsman.
"For your safety."
He said softly.
That...armed.
If it were Thales in the past, there would probably be a chuckle in my heart at this time.
But Thales knows exactly what kind of existence he has to face, and Axida can detect the air pressure activity in the target body from a far distance.
"It's where it should be." Thales said indifferently, the sin of the river of prison inside his body flowing through the lungs and blood vessels like warm water, maintaining the original rhythm of breathing and expansion.
The prince moved the shield warrior into the attack range of the opposing knight.
This time, Ashida stared at him for ten seconds.
After a long while, the magician put away the unfavorable smile and turned his eyes to the position of the chessboard shield warrior, which is exactly the scope of the opponent's sling crossbow: "Very good."
What's great?
Tyles stared at him quietly, but still didn't say the words.
Fortunately.
I controlled the reaction of my body.
The crime of using the prison river...
The other party suddenly whispered: "Are you ready."
Thyls, who was thinking about the problem, failed to react. He moved slightly and raised his head: "What are you preparing?"
The next second, Ashida suddenly sat upright, no longer paying attention to the chessboard in front of her.
As if to face the most serious occasions.
"Before we start, we must clarify some rules." Ashida said lightly.
Thyls was a little surprised: "The rules?"
Axida slowly nodded Thales not knowing how he read it from the magician’s almost unchanged face, but he subconsciously felt that Ashida’s expression at the moment was extremely serious: "On the way , You should have taken notes, but in view of this situation... So, first, you have to think carefully about every word of mine. This is a respect for me and yourself. Correspondingly, for your words, I Will take it seriously."
Thyls was infected by his atmosphere and nodded involuntarily.
"Secondly, you can ask questions at any time on the way, and you can even ask questions. I may refuse to answer some parts, but this is not your reason for silence. This is the worst student." He uttered these words at an even and steady rate of speech that was rare, contrary to his past strange rhythms and habits.
Thyls straightened up unconsciously and nodded seriously.
Like a most devout student.
"Third, but you must think clearly before you speak. From my perspective, how will I answer less meaningless words, go straight to the point and save time."
"Fourth, in my class, you are not allowed to use metaphors and analogies to explain your views. That is the easiest way to make tricks."
Thyls can only sullen his face, nod constantly, and focus on the opponent's equally serious eyes.
"The most important thing is to be humble," Ashida said softly. This time, there seemed to be something else in his steady words: "Not to me, but to the knowledge you are about to acquire. The things you don’t agree with should be respected first, then given to think, find differences, and finally questioned, and the questioning should not be limited to the other party, but also to question yourself, such as your presupposition. Use less absolute and affirmative words, Encourage the use of assumptions and conditional statements."
Thyls moved first, and then he held his right hand for fear that he could not help raising his hand or going to subconsciously find a pen.
Asida noticed his reaction, the corners of her mouth were slightly bent, and she hummed softly.
The prince couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Of course, when you speak, you have to be prepared to be asked," the words of the Qi Magician continued subconsciously: "If any of my peers here propose..."
Thyls' expression moved, feeling a little strange.
Peer?
Ashida noticed something wrong almost immediately.
His words halted for a while, unnaturally.
It's like being cut off suddenly.
The atmosphere returned to silence.
The soldiers and guards around the box still looked as usual, unaware.
But in the small space on both sides of the chessboard, Thales caught the magician's face trembling slightly and his left hand was also lightly tightened at that moment.
Tyles opened his mouth in surprise.
This is...
This is the response he has never had since he met Ashida.
Aishida didn't speak, he just stared at his chessboard quietly, expressionless and motionless.
It seems to be adjusting.
Thyls suddenly had an illusion: Ashida, who is unkind in front of him, actually has her own troubles.
Three seconds later.
Ashida closed her mouth, seeming to adjust herself.
His eyes raised again~IndoMTL.com~ Shining brightly: "That's it."
Tyles took a gentle breath, taking the doubts into his heart.
The prince concentrated all his energy, full of uncontrollable expectations and tension, and slowly nodded.
Here it comes.
"Let’s start," Ashe didn’t say anything nonsense, he blinked his clear eyes, and went straight to the subject with cold words: "Today, as the first lesson on your way to the magician, I want to say three Something."
"First, what is the magician pay attention to, not what magic is."
"Secondly, we, the position and position of the magician in the world."
"Third, our enemies and companions."
Under the sky of Longxiao City, the words of the Qi Magician only sounded softly in the ears of Prince Star.
The little nymph screamed, as if silent.
