At this time, Nanamp had returned to King's Landing and was beside Oran. When he saw that the Welshman whom he had bribed did not appear next to Sals, he felt bad in his heart.
In King's Landing at this time, a large number of new residents have moved in. They have built wooden houses, the sky is full of smoke, and there is a bustle of people.
Sals, who entered it, felt that in two or three years, this place would become a prosperous town.
Oran asked someone to prepare food for Sals, and then brought him to his study. The two looked at each other.
Next to Oran stood Southamp.
Outside the door were Nanding and the soldiers. Sals did not have any weapons on him. Even though he was extremely powerful, as long as Olan shouted, the people outside would push in and break his body into pieces. No need to do it yourself.
There is a sand table, a chess set, and several decorations on the study room.
This is the scope of the future Lord's Hall, so the Oran Room has begun to take shape.
Sals was eating slowly, but Nanamp didn't want to be so leisurely and asked, "Lord Sals, you should explain what happened?"
Sals gestured to the "King's Chess" on the other table and said, "Sir, let's play a game of chess, and you will learn everything you want to know from it."
King's chess originated in India and was introduced to Persia in the seventh century. Later it was introduced to Constantine, Italy and other places.
"Charlemagne" brought this game back to Frankia when he was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" in an Italian church in 800 AD.
King, Chancellor, Castle, Bishop, Knight, Infantry.
On the black and white chessboard, these six seeds are distributed, with the ultimate goal of taking down the opponent's king.
Adult men, fighting for honor in the light of swords,
Women and children show their wisdom in every inch.
Charlemagne's queen loved this game, so later in Frankia, "palace prime minister" was changed to "queen". This also showed Charlemagne's determination to reduce the power of the magistrates and expand the royal power at that time.
Later, this game spread to England. In just twenty years, everyone from nobles to common people could play it several times.
In the "Kingdom of Wessex", this game is even called one of the seven skills that knights should learn (the Seven Arts of Knights).
"Alfred" is the number one chess player in the kingdom today.
…
Oran asked Nanamp to play the chess game. According to the usual practice, the person with the noble status plays white first, and the black person plays second.
The infantry starts and can advance one or two spaces.
Oran pushed the "infantry" two spaces out, symbolizing the start of the offensive.
After reading this move, Sals responded with the same method and said, "This move is like you sending someone to bribe my men, getting a fake letter, and trying to control the situation, but this is only the beginning of the chess game. The damage is limited, we must look at subsequent changes and methods."
Nan Anpu was stunned and said, "You!"
Sals drank a glass of ale and replied, "The people around me are all meticulous, and I know their birth, experience, interests, and preferences all by heart. Whenever there are changes in the details of their eyes, I can I have put a lot of effort into catching them, so that they can all benefit from me.
When you forced him with harsh words and tempted him with empty talk of benefits, the letter was in my hands in an instant. The only thing that can be praised is that the handwriting still has some merit. "
Nanamp looked at Oran nervously, "Your Excellency!"
Sals sneered, Nanamp almost called someone to come in, but Olan waved him to wait outside.
There were only two people left in the room, the suspicious lord and the crazy knight.
"Interesting, this game of chess has just been played, let's continue." After Olan finished speaking, he launched the second step, and still advanced troops. The infantry next to the infantry just moved into two squares, and his camp on the chessboard became "Two Soldiers Parallel" .
Since Sals's first move was also to advance troops, the two of them faced off with troops just now, and because of the rules of the enemy's attack.
This will cause Oran's advancing infantry to face Sals's center diagonally, without any protection, and will be eaten, creating a "abandonment" situation at the beginning.
"So what if you know, I can give up a lot of 'pieces', why do you have to finish this game with me!"
Oran slapped the table with an overwhelming force. Nanding heard the sound, pushed away from the room, and put his hand on the handle of the sword.
But seeing that the scene was calm, there was no follow-up action. Then Olan said "stand down", and he returned outside the house and continued to wait.
"This move is really disgusting." After Sals finished speaking, he immediately ate the pawn and said, "According to your idea, if I eat this chess piece, my center pawn will deviate from the track. At that time, you There are several ways to activate the sub-power, such as using the 'Queen', or mobilizing the 'Knight'?"
It was Olan's turn again, and he was robbed by Sals. He didn't know what to answer or what to play for a moment.
The slap on the table just now obviously didn't suppress Salz's mood.
"Sir Oran, I appreciate you and what you do - you are such a bastard!
It would be better if I could kill King Ella that day during the sword competition, wouldn't it?"
"Hahaha!"
Laughter spread, Sals' face became more and more weird, his words were crazy, and he still had the image of a handsome and upright gentleman.
Sals's hallucination reappeared. He gestured to Oran, his face twisted and said, "I also saw the flames igniting on your body. There were countless bones under your feet, and the temples and churches were turned into smoke."
"A few days ago, Nanamp wanted to bribe you. You said, 'A knight will not serve his two masters.' But now, you say you want to kill the king? I want to dig out your heart and see if you are possessed by the devil."
Sals's status was lower than his own, but Olan couldn't take the initiative. He hated this in his heart.
At this time, there were several changes on the chessboard, and Oran chose to advance the infantry piece on the right rear side of the center pawn.
But this time, he only pushed one space and turned it diagonally. On the one hand, he protected the soldiers in the middle and on the other hand, he opened the channel for dispatching the "bishop".
"Yes, that's it. Your Excellency, your start is special, but the process is steady, waiting for others to make mistakes to attack, and then there is a long calculation and waiting.
The pieces begin to be exchanged, and when the advantage is low, a large number of pieces are exchanged. Even in order to open up the situation, countless pieces are given up, only to be the first to replace the enemy's king and declare victory.
But these are the rules of the chessboard. If you replace all the pieces and capture the king, you will still be the winner.
Back in the dirty and troubled times, if you seek the enemy's king and there is no force to annex it, the enemy will only establish a new king and then kill you.
It was my grandfather and father who taught me how to play king's chess. I started playing chess pieces with them at the age of three, playing one game after another with them.
Soon I discovered that they were afraid of the nobles!
Because they are civilians, they are all studying the "infantry start", and even abandoning troops like you,
They regard the infantry as the most useless and low-level things, just to allow knights and bishops to quickly dispatch, so that these chess pieces can walk majestically on the chessboard and show off their talents.
Therefore, their fate was tragic, and they were eventually sacrificed as abandoned children. "
Speaking of this, Sals gritted his teeth.
