Start with Island Lord

‘Dangdangdangdang~~’

With the crisp sound of metal knocking, the chess king competition officially began.

Probably in order to give every contestant a sense of participation, Rosen's opponent was also an unknown new chess player.

Of course, although the chess player is new, he is not young, and his temples are all gray.

He smiled gently at Rosen, who also had frost-dyed hair.

"Aha~ Old guy vs. old guy, it's interesting."

Rosen also laughed and said in a low tone: "It's indeed interesting."

At this time, the chessboard referee took out a dice and said: "Two gentlemen, please guess first."

"I guess odd."

"Then I guess double."

‘Kalala~~’

When the dice is rolled, it is an odd number.

Rosen chuckled, glanced at the other party's identity card, and said with a smile: "Aaron's Sir Zeno, then I'm not welcome."

Sir Zeno raised his eyebrows: "Sir Helic of Levend, you look very confident. But I have to say that I have been studying Victory Chess for more than thirty years. Although my chess skills are not as good as those of the masters, I am not mediocre either."

Rosen immediately made a move and said, "Please."

The referee on the side immediately said: "Twenty seconds to fight back. Failure to do so will be deemed as giving up. Giving up three times will be deemed as giving up."

After saying that, he took out the hourglass and started timing.

Sir Zeno looked serious and returned the favor.

Rosen did not hesitate to reply to the second hand. It took less than two seconds, and he truly replied in seconds.

Perhaps stimulated by him, Sir Zeno also began to reply instantly.

Between the two of us, you held one hand and I held the other. Fifty moves passed in the blink of an eye, and the total time was no more than ten minutes.

Rosen was always calm and composed, and the 20-second change of hands never took less than 2 seconds.

Like a ruthless magic puppet.

Sir Zeno was sweating heavily and began to waste time thinking.

So Rosen got some free time.

He looked around the entire chess room and found that the number of gray-clothed guards in the chess room had increased a lot, and there were also some more guys with cold eyes.

There were about three or four of these guys, like venomous snakes, their eyes swept around everyone on the field, as if they were looking for something.

Apparently, the guards in gray had also discovered them and were keeping a close eye on them, as if guarding against thieves.

Selena followed Rosen's gaze and was immediately shocked.

She had recognized it as Aaron Night Guard.

She motioned to Rosen with her eyes.

"Why don't we stop? This is really too dangerous."

Rosen shook his head slightly, insisted on playing chess, and comforted Selena with his eyes.

He saw clearly that even if these night guards discovered them, they would not take action. Because they had no weapons at hand, they had to worry about Master Shahram's face.

The total of the chess king's bonus and gambling board rewards exceeds 20,000 Oggs, which is the start-up capital he prepared for the development of the island.

If you don't have this money and go back to the barren island, you will have to spend a long time accumulating original capital. That would be a very sad life.

He stopped looking around and sat leisurely, focusing on the chess game.

After a while, Sir Zeno surrendered and Rosen advanced to the next round of chess.

Rosen's new opponent is a thirty-seven or eight-year-old businessman named Muladi, also from Levind. He is very skilled in chess and has entered the semi-finals many times.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately asked: "Sir Helic, didn't you go back to Levend? Why are you here?"

Rosen was startled and immediately understood the reason: ‘I met an acquaintance of Sir Helic. ’

But the expression on his face remained unchanged: "There was a little accident, and I'm back again."

"Oh~ why haven't I seen you play victory chess before?"

"Just because I haven't seen it before doesn't mean I don't know how to do it. It's just boring anyway."

"All right."

Muladi nodded, but there was a strange look in his brown eyes.

Rosen immediately knew that the other party already knew that he was a fake, and the reason why he did not expose him immediately was probably due to the unique caution of a businessman.

To avoid an accident, he narrowed his eyes at the other party and revealed a cold light: "Mr. Muladi, I am a pure person and I also like pure people."

"Play chess, just play chess."

Muladi felt it and said with a slight smile: "That's right, just playing chess."

Since the other party took a step back, Rosen said: "I am a newcomer. To show respect, you go first."

Muladi raised his brows and became competitive.

"Sir Helic, since five years ago, no one has asked me to take the initiative."

"I'm honored to break that convention."

After speaking, he signaled to the referee on the side: "Let's begin."

Mulady chuckled: "Jazz is so confident, so I will try my best."

He made the first move, and Rosen immediately responded with the same move as before.

"Click~click~click~"

The sound of chess pieces colliding with the chessboard continued to sound, and Mulady's brows gradually furrowed, while Rosen remained calm as always, without even changing his eyes.

"I surrender."

In the 140th move, Mulady made a big mistake because he made a move too quickly, and his mentality immediately collapsed.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Mr. Muladi, my style of doing other things is exactly the same as playing victory chess. I hope you will keep this in mind."

The businessman from Levend understood the hint, shook his body slightly, and immediately replied: "I have given up, Sir."

Subconsciously, he had no intention of disrupting the situation.

"very good."

Muladi immediately stood up and left the chess room without any regrets.

Rosen turned his head and glanced at Serena, winking at her.

Serena already believed in Rosen's ability, but her focus was not on the chessboard now.

After feeling Rosen's eyes, she whispered in her mind: "Aaron Night Guard seems to have started to focus on us."

Rosen smiled: "He looked at us a few more times, but he didn't focus on us. It's just because we are more eye-catching."

A Victory Chess novice who defeated a Victory Chess veteran would certainly get extra attention.

Of course, as the observation time increases, the time for them to be finally exposed will get closer and closer.

Soon, Rosen entered the semi-finals.

Except for Rosen, the remaining three were all famous Victory Chess masters. Even if their level was not a master, it was not far from the master.

As a new face, Rosen suddenly looked very eye-catching.

Rosen felt that he was being watched by many people, and there might not be no acquaintances of Sir Helic among them.

But it doesn't matter, Master Shahram is a very face-conscious person.

For his own face, he will definitely find a way to ensure that the chess game ends smoothly.

On the chessboard, he was still quick and decisive, defeating his semi-final opponent in 110 moves, winning a burst of suppressed exclamations from the arena.

He received more and more attention.

Not only were most of the audience watching him, but the Shahram family guards were also watching him, and Aaron's night guards were also observing him at a higher frequency.

But Rosen was like a ruthless robot, no matter how others looked at him, his expression was as calm as the surface of an ancient well.

After waiting for a while, the last chess king final began.

Rosen's opponent was the famous Victory Chess Master, Sir Humphrey, a senior peak wizard from the Alpine County in the central part of Vilan Island.

At the same time, he was also the younger brother of the Earl of Alpine County and a member of the magic advisory group of Duke Vilan.

He was about forty-two or forty-three years old, with thick flaxen hair and a pair of bright blue eyes.

After sitting down, he glanced at Serena, who was sitting with him, and then at Rosen, and whispered: "Sir Helic, it seems that you have sufficient confidence in your chess skills."

There is something hidden in these words.

Rosen knew as soon as he heard it that this knight had seen through his and Serena's true identities.

And the flaw is definitely not in himself, but in Serena.

The reason is also very simple. As the magic consultant of Duke Weilan, the other party must be an extremely shrewd person.

He often sees Serena because of his status, and Serena is not good at disguise. After a long time, she will naturally be exposed.

But after being exposed, the other party did not directly expose it, which is interesting.

But Rosen fully understood the other party's performance, and this was within his expectations.

Because Alpine County, like Shire County, also belongs to the island independence faction.

As the younger brother of the Earl of Alpine County, Sir Humphrey is unlikely to support Princess Serena marrying King Danger.

At least not emotionally.

However, he would never stand up for the little baron, and would not easily agree with the princess marrying the little baron.

Weighing the two, neutrality is a natural attitude.

Rosen smiled faintly: "Sir, just say whatever you want to say, I'm listening."

Sir Humphrey smiled faintly, tapped his fingers on the chess table lightly, and whispered in his heart.

"It's not just me who discovered your secret, many people present have discovered it. The Black Iron Guard and Aaron Night Guard naturally discovered it."

"Master Shahram doesn't want his business to be affected, so the chess king finals will proceed normally."

"But to be honest, neither I nor the master look down on you, but since it is the choice of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Duke has not explicitly expressed his opposition, then we will not object."

"The master means that as long as you beat me, the chess king bonus and gambling money will be given to you as a dowry for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"But whether you can bring this dowry back to the White Sturgeon Island depends on whether Mother Nature is willing to favor you."

Rosen understood, and he had expected this result early on.

The biggest reason why he dared to come here to earn this huge sum of money today was not his ability, but the princess's noble status.

No matter in which world, as long as it is a society composed of people, the upper limit of a person's wealth depends directly on his status, not his ability.

The bird shit baron dared to place a heavy bet, even if he won the game, the other party would find ways to refuse to pay, but the princess' husband earned 20,000 gold Augers by his own ability, so there would be no future troubles.

He smiled faintly: "Please, Sir Humphrey, I'll let you go first."
