A strange world

Chapter 1057 Section 288. Chessboard, chess pieces

Annan placed the parchment next to the chessboard.

An 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 Speaker.

"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 too much...

The chairman continued to read, and at the same time, his hands did not stop, and he continued to place his 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 throw dirty water on the king."

The floating parchment disappeared silently, 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 Babatord didn't lie about. He was under someone else's orders."

"Who else can instruct him?" Annan asked knowingly.

"That's something you need to investigate on your own."

A pass flew out of the congressman's broad white sleeve robe.

"There should be clues in Babataud's manor. I'll leave the investigation to you."

"Understood."

Annan took the pass and was not surprised that the job fell into his hands.

"Go and find the murderer behind the scenes..."

I've found it, but you said it wasn't... Do I still need to find a fake one for you?

Annan thought, looked at the chessboard again, and exited the lounge.

"Phew, you're suffocating me to death!"

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 Council Chairman ignored the staff and continued the unfinished knight chess game.

"You didn't even talk to him, asked little Olmedo how he was doing, and took advantage of 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 anything unnecessary, there will only be benefits."

"You are always like this, treating everyone as chess pieces. Do you think you are a chess player? You are just a bigger chess piece! You also make mistakes!"

The entire lounge echoed with the grumble of the staff.

"You care about him?"

"Because he called me Senior! He is still the man of Little Olmedo. When I saw him, I seemed to see Little Olmedo..." The staff's eyes and mouth appeared and began to sob, "It's all your fault. You don't If we stand idly by, old Augusta won't die, and she won't hate us."

"She 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 said in a sad tone.

Speaking of Olmedo, the Speaker no longer maintained his silence: "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 New Zealand in person. The royal capital.”

"Why are you still standing there! Why don't you reunite with little Olmedo soon!?"

The chairman of the council said nothing. The staff 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's Olmedo's man anymore?"

"Little Olmedo will forgive us!"

The Speaker made the final move.

The old blue eyes swept across the chessboard, like a pair of eyes gazing at the Kingdom of Rekaner from deep space...

…

Annan scratched his head and looked back at the palace

I always feel like I'm involved in some serious conspiracy... but that should be considered a good thing?

They are here to cause trouble. The more chaos the new king makes, the faster the scale of victory will tip towards them.

Forget it, do the immediate 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 Babatord, took 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 piece of gold with the head of a dog 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 of eight-ring magic circles that can withstand epics and damage epics. ; Various rare magic materials in the alchemy room warehouse, including dragon scales and dragon skins, are described in 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 agency barrier, but they were all cracked by the chairman of the council, taking Annan's advantage.

No, it makes the kingdom cheaper.

Baba Tod was so rich that even giving the kingdom 30% of Annan would feel bad.

After spending a whole day, 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 about 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 has too many things, so the clues that the Councillor wants cannot be found for the time being. Annan first does another important thing: ask Olmedo for help.

…

In the Purification Court, the safest place in the entire new king's capital, Annan and Olmedo sit on both sides of the portal.

Olmedo watched Annan ask for a set of knight chess and set it up on the chessboard. After setting up his side, he set up Olmedo's side.

"Okay, this is the chess your uncle was playing at the time."

As the first person in the kingdom, every move of the Councillor has a deep meaning. It doesn't matter if Annan can't understand the chess, just write it down and let those who can understand it see it.

Let's see who still says that the warlock's brain grows down there.

"This is..." Olmedo frowned.

"You figured it out?"

"Well, it's not complicated. It's just the war situation between us and the kingdom... Is this chess game not finished?"

"Yeah."

Olmedo analyzed the situation while speaking: "Uncle... The chairman of the council should have been sitting on my side. Your side is the Free City."

"Then what?"

"The chess game is not finished yet. You are short of seven pieces, and I am only short of four, but the most important lord chess piece has not been played. So I can only calculate the current confrontation result: a large number of pieces and grids will be eaten on my side, and your pieces can march straight into my castle..."

"Are you talking about chess?"

"Don't interrupt."

"Oh."

Annan analyzed along Olmedo's train of thought.

Does the castle represent the kingdom, the new capital, or Clo?

But it doesn't seem to make any difference...
