All the Handsome Deep Well Ice Like Me [Western Fantasy]

Ambiguous and coquettish warm yellow light. There was a crisp sound from the wine glass. The five-colored colored glass chips were thrown on the table in a mess, and were swept under him by a pair of pink arms.

The chips piled up along her curve, and the blonde girl lay on her side in the center of the round gaming table. The red lips were beautiful in the light, and they made a seductive smile.

Just a glance, I withdrew my sight.

There is a lot of space behind the door. At a glance, you can see a dozen of them at the huge gaming table surrounded by people like that. Among the group of people in suits, leather shoes and dresses, we are undoubtedly a different kind of people with cloaks. But they just took a glance and then stopped staying, continuing to revel in the joy of gambling.

Probably the body and mind are already addicted to it.

I have no interest in "observing" these people, and I followed Arthur blankly all the way. And he who walked in front of me was speechless, leaving only me behind.

The golden hall is very spacious, and thanks to them being crowded together, I walked easily. Except for the unstoppable sound, I seem to be in another world.

Obviously it is the same country. I have always lived in a place that has nothing to do with this.

"Earl Luofen."

The familiar voice said a name he had never heard before. I looked up and found that Arthur was already standing in front of a strange man.

People in middle age always escape the curse of not being blessed. This man who was much shorter than the old man was as thick as the fat overflowing from the neckline except that his hair was a little thicker than the old man.

But those eyes-how to describe it.

Sinister and arrogant. That's not the look in the eyes of "people".

"...Oh? A young man I haven't seen before."

The man beckoned his servant, took a glass of red wine from the tray and handed it to Arthur, "This cloak is a magical device. Why should I hide my face in this joyous place?"

"It needs work." Arthur sighed softly. The helpless tone was like complaining about thankless work, "Also, it's impolite to drink."

"It's okay. I also agree with this about the drinking mistakes."

Put the goblet on the table casually. The shrewd man gave up the unnecessary and useless suspicion, and said straightforwardly, "Although I don't know where you are sent from. But you will find me in this room at this time, indicating that you have learned from me. You have a bargaining chip for what you want."

"Ah. That must be a bargaining chip to satisfy the earl."

"Really confident-since you are in a casino, let's conduct transactions in a way that suits this place."

Luofen gave Arthur a friendly smile. Then raise his right hand. He wears an emerald ring on his index finger, which is a magic device that is limited to talking in this casino.

Small magical arrays emerged on the luminous gems. The man ordered, "Bring the chessboard here."

...

The plot was a bit beyond my expectations.

Originally thought that these two people would definitely pack a big gaming table together and make a huge bet with a crowd of people watching. The method will also be based on traditional, easy-to-use, simple and stimulating cards.

Unexpectedly, they just sit on the chairs on the edge of the room for people to play chess. Even the chessboard is placed on the chair.

And the audience is only me.

The chairs are arranged in a row against the wall. I can only stand in order to see the chessboard. But my position is similar to that of Arthur's attendant or servant, and I feel completely inconsistent when standing.

But Arthur "moved" a chair.

Even if he wears a cloak, no one would recognize his noble king, and he would not bend over. The strong wind directly rolled up the chair on the side and placed it firmly beside the chessboard. And just when I was about to say "just stand up", Arthur sat on it naturally.

I am silly. Standing in place blankly.

Then a strong uncertainty surged from the bottom of my heart.

"Sit down. Liche." The eyes hidden in the shadow of the brim of the hat looked at me, the dark blue color was just as pampering as his voice, "I should be very tired standing now."

--Not tired. I'm not tired at all... Do you ghost want me to sit directly opposite this man!

The face that had been fairly calm turned black. Thanks to Arthur's sudden rise, my sense of existence was suddenly higher than the sky, and the earl, who had been ignoring me before, naturally cast a contemplative look at me.

"Young man." Luofen's voice was playful. The slightly prolonged ending sounded with some sarcasm, "Do you want this girl to play against me?"

"good idea."

Arthur smiled at me, "Can you play chess?"

I answered quickly and clearly, "No. Not at all. I don't even understand."

"It's okay. Just follow where I pointed."

"..."

Can this man's ghost be cured?

"Haha! Interesting!" The essence of human beings is to gloat. The horror of being crushed unilaterally pleased the earl, "but I won't be merciful."

"No. I'm still very confident in my chess skills."

"Such courage is rare among people of your age. But without the corresponding strength, this would be fatal stupidity."

"Sit down. Girl." The gloomy eyes looked at me. The sudden pressure made me breathe, "But as a ticket to the game with me. You two have to pledge your lives."

Is it a gamble? It fits the atmosphere of this casino.

I did not answer right away. Instead, he looked at Arthur. After all, the real chess player is him.

"Can."

The young king did not hesitate. From my angle, I can see the dark blue eyes glowing in the shadows.

Compared with the light and shadow cast by the huge crystal lamp on the iris, I believe that it is the light emitted by its soul.

"I'm fine."

Now that Arthur agreed, I didn't have any hypocrisy, and I just sat down in the position of the chess player. After all, the life of the King of England is more expensive than the life of the second princess of Saint Enluth.

Is it a high-end casino? Even an inconspicuous chair has a luxurious softness when sitting on it. The chessboard can also be said without exaggeration that it is completely worthy of the identity of the King of England. The chassis made of white jade is inlaid with slender and glowing ice cores as grid lines, and the chess pieces are cracked green jade and streamer black agate.

If it wasn't for the two people present to push the grid too high, I really want to touch this chessboard.

"The princess" really failed to do this for me.

Since I was a kid, I skipped social classes every time I was a kid. Of course, I couldn't understand what they were doing. It just moved the chess piece mechanically according to Arthur's instructions. Whether it is Luofen or Arthur, they are both happy and angry, and I can't feel the trend of the chess game from their looks.

In the hall full of joyous sounds, our side was so quiet that there was only the sound of chess pieces hitting the board. We are undoubtedly heterogeneous. Whether it is the aura or the "chess" itself.

After all, "chess" is a sport that requires strategic thinking. There is little dependence on luck. But isn't it just luck to enjoy gambling?

"Little girl. You have never touched chess."

"……Yes."

I was taken aback by the sudden conversation. The Earl Loffin on the opposite side did not look at me, his gaze still fell on the chessboard.

The same goes for Arthur on the side.

"It takes luck to win chess. No matter how subtle the design is, how far you anticipate it. In front of a well-matched opponent, you may be defeated by an inadvertent move."

"That's a tiny part. I can't even notice it. I won't wake up until the end."

"That can't be said to be a mistake of thinking. It's just an unfortunate choice between thoughts."

The earl laughed. The unique thick voice of the middle-aged man has a hint of madness, "This small but decisive'luck' is the reason why I am addicted to gambling."

Really a very sick man. It's great that this guy is not handsome. Otherwise, another tragedy will be added to my life.

The pawns on the chessboard had already retreated by one third unknowingly. I did not respond to Earl Venlo's answer, but dropped the chess piece peacefully.

The yin bird looked away from the chessboard, glanced at me very quickly and returned to the original position, "It seems that you can't understand my mood, little girl."

"Although I can't understand it, I can understand it. After all, there are many kinds of (guai) people (tai) in this world. Instead of putting different values ​​in mind, it is better to reflect on your own thoughts and be seen by others through external insights. Up."

"...Is commendable. With a little bit of work, you will become a great politician as your experience grows. It's really awesome."

The elegant gambler looked at Arthur. It seems that playing against Arthur makes him very handy, and he still has the ability to chat, "Where is this young man. Will easily make a life bet with me. Is it also dazzled by this'luck'? "

"No. I unexpectedly hate gambling. Because I'm not good at dealing with things outside of common sense."

"Yes. Lord Loven." The young king leaned back in his chair. The jointed hands are clasped on the folded knees, "I am not an impulsive person. I will not do anything uncertain."

"Oh? Can I treat it as a provocation?"

Arthur smiled back and didn't answer.

"Let me punish you for your rude words. I won't let you two die easily."

The madness and the yin prey in the deep voice grew thicker. The earl relentlessly kicked the emerald chess piece away and replaced it with black. The chess piece with nowhere to go fell on the ground with a crisp sound, and then rolled away.

Arthur didn't look at the chess piece that was getting farther and farther away. Just calmly give me instructions for the next step.

...

I lifted the black onyx chess piece and placed it on the soft cushion aside. Then put the emerald symbolizing Arthur on top.

The outcome has been determined. Whether it was the important position of the chess piece in the opposing camp or the all-green color on the chessboard, it all signaled Arthur's victory.

The expected result.

"It's a pity you lost. Count Venlo."

Wang's voice was smiling. I raised my head and looked at the earl on the opposite side. Although it is very immoral, whether it is his bloodshot eyes because of being too wide open or his artistic effect, it can be called Yan Yi's distorted expression. All make me feel very happy.

The ugly beast in a suit and leather shoes abruptly got up from the chair. Bai Yu's chessboard was overturned and hit the ground. Torn apart like all valuable works of art.

"Impossible! Why?!"

"Count. Victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs."

Arthur stood up, bent down slightly and reached out to me, who was still sitting in the chair. And I also stood up with his strength and stood beside him.

"Thank you, Liche." Wang said softly, "Is it boring? Are you hungry?"

"……No."

I twitched my mouth and motioned to Arthur to see Luofen, "Are we more concerned about the countenance's face than this."

Arthur looked at the earl. Obviously he couldn't accept the failure immediately and shouted, "Fight me again!"

"No. It doesn't matter how many times it's the same." Undoubtedly, he said. A certain devilish person still wanted to add, "The final outcome will definitely be a defeat."

"Impossible...! Why!!"

Because of the dragon's eye.

——Looking at Luofen who was anxious and depraved, I replied in my heart with pity.
