Chapter 23 Too Loud Wizard Chess
After finishing dinner, Noah went directly back to the dormitory.
His three roommates came back much earlier than him. Morgan was still lying on the bed alone, with his back to the three of them. He seemed to have the radio on, because the sound of the wizard's wireless broadcast came from his bed.
It was a popular comprehensive radio station in the wizarding world, somewhat similar to Muggle radio stations. Noah also grew up listening to this program.
Seeing Noah come in, Warrington and Montague waved: "Noah."
"Want a game of wizard chess?" Warrington turned to the side, revealing the chessboard between the two of them.
Wizard chess is actually the wizard version of chess. The rules are the same as chess, except that the wizards' chess pieces are alive and the wizards don't need to move the chess pieces manually. They only need to give commands to direct the chess pieces to move forward.
However, the disadvantage is that the chess pieces often have their own ideas. They will distrust unfamiliar wizards and even refuse to execute orders. Some novice wizards often become panicked because of the gesticulations of the chess pieces.
After glancing at the chess pieces on the chessboard, Noah looked away without interest.
It was a new chessboard, and the chess pieces might lack tacit understanding. Noah himself had a set of chess pieces, but he didn't bring them with him when he came to school this time.
"No." He declined the invitation from the two of them, "You go ahead and play."
He sat at the table and unfolded a piece of parchment.
The two of them had a ghostly look on their faces: "You're not doing homework in the dormitory now, are you?"
Noah glanced at them doubtfully: "What gave you the illusion? I will definitely do my homework in the dormitory. I just need to write a letter home."
The two people's expressions froze. What can be said, that they subconsciously felt that Noah was such a "good student" who was devoted to doing homework?
"Isn't it a little late now?" Montague tried to deflect the embarrassment just now.
"Yes, the owl has rested." Warrington echoed.
"I need to finish writing it. I can send it tomorrow." Noah rubbed his forehead, "In fact, I wrote the letter on the first day my family asked me to come to study."
But he forgot...
Montague and Warrington were speechless for a while and turned to play their own wizard chess.
Well, it's hard for them to say anything about this kind of thing.
Well, the truth is that Noah didn't know how to tell his family that he had entered Slytherin.
Although the Lannisters were indifferent to which house he would enter, Noah had an intuition that their attitude towards Slytherin was quite subtle, and after all, it was related to what happened ten years ago.
But after procrastinating for two days, he finally needed to write a letter, otherwise he would receive owl letters from home during breakfast for the next week.
By the time Noah finished writing the letter, Montaigne and Warrington had already finished playing a game of chess. There were not many chess pieces left on the chessboard between them. It was obvious that both of them were not very good at it. They were just noobs pecking each other to protect the chess pieces and were in a stalemate.
For a while.
The chess pieces had become impatient and were noisily clamoring to kill each other, which made the two little wizards very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Noah was also disturbed by the chattering chess pieces. He walked to the chessboard and took a look at the chess pieces on it: "The white elephant takes h6."
The noisy chess pieces suddenly fell silent. The chess pieces looked at Noah in confusion, and because he was not a player, they did not move for a while.
Noah narrowed his eyes slightly, and the group of chess pieces immediately stood up straight. The white elephant completely ignored the real chess player, Meng Tai, and walked to h6.
Montague and Warrington were stunned and looked up at Noah.
Noah's silver-gray eyes seemed to reflect a metallic color under the slightly dim light. They looked...a bit inorganic and cold, and looked a little penetrating at first glance.
The group of guys finally calmed down, and Noah nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at the two of them: "There is no point in just saving the chess pieces. Necessary sacrifices can achieve greater benefits."
Montague and Warrington did not speak, but their moods were the same at this moment.
They were now certain that Noah Lannister was undoubtedly a Slytherin, not because he was favored by the eldest lady of the Lestrange family, but because he was a Slytherin himself.
The two looked at each other and confirmed the information in each other's eyes.
Noah didn't know anything about their thoughts, so he directed Black's soldiers to advance two squares before giving up and continuing to command.
When he was seven years old, Mr. Lannister gave up playing wizard chess with him because Noah never lost after he understood the rules. So for a long time, Noah played against himself.
of.
It was fun at first, but after a while, the interest wore off. It felt like it was better to play with crackling exploding cards.
So he turned and left.
The wizards and chessmen who noticed his intention stopped, and they clamored again for Noah to quickly take over the command, clamoring to kill all the opponent's chess pieces.
But when Noah glanced back, the group of chess pieces immediately stood still like quails, a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Montaigne and Warrington were no longer in the mood to play chess. They glanced at the chess pieces with statues in An Jing's eyes angrily and simply put the chessboard away.
None of the three people noticed that Morgan, who was lying on the bed, turned his head to glance at them, and then quickly turned back.
…
In the evening, Noah studied in the spiritual world for several hours as usual. This time he restrained himself a little and allowed enough rest time.
So he woke up early the next day.
By the time he finished washing, the other three roommates also woke up.
Morgan lingered on the bed for a long time before finally making up his mind, and he chose to follow the three of them.
Although the distance is neither close nor far, it can be regarded as a friendly signal.
Montague and Warrington turned their heads and glanced at each other. Seeing that Noah at the front didn't respond, they didn't say anything.
Their status relationship has begun to be established. Since Noah, who occupies a high position, has ignored and acquiesced to Morgan's overtures, the two of them will naturally not say anything.
The four of them arrived at the common room.
Many seniors were already here, most of them gathering together and discussing something in low voices, while the prefect and two other unfamiliar seniors were dozing off with their eyes closed on the sofa next to the campfire.
In this way, the four first-year students seemed a bit out of place.
Suddenly a senior sitting on the sofa opened his eyes. He glanced at the four people, and finally laid his eyes on Noah: "Freshman?"
He stood up, walked to Noah, and stretched out his hand: "President of the Student Union, Matt Hiaborn."
"Noah Lannister." Noah raised his hand and shook his hand.
Matt Siaborn nodded: "Today is the event time for the Glory Club. Are you interested in participating?"
