Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 42 The Breath of Frost

How long is a mortal's life?

Murphy said that he has a lot of knowledge, of course Long would not believe it.

Murphy said: "Then let's make a bet. We have selected three things to compete, and we will win two out of three games. If I win, it means that my knowledge is at least better than yours. Just admit that I am qualified to be your library and continue our transaction; but if you win, it means that I am lying, and I will be at your disposal when the time comes."

Of course, Long would not be afraid of the challenges of mortals, he said: "Very good. You can start to pick the content of the first round."

Murphy smiled, he waved, and a knight ran over from a distance.

This place has been cleared beforehand, and humans can't hear the conversations between them at such a long distance.So the fact that there was someone as soon as Murphy beckoned, it showed that Murphy had anticipated the current situation long ago, and he had already made an order.

Yinlong frowned slightly, watching all this.

The knight quickly put down the folded tables and chairs behind him, unfolded a pair of ivory chess, arranged the chess pieces neatly, and left immediately.

Murphy sat on one of the chairs, and stretched out his hand as an invitation: "Please, Mr. Silver Dragon. I know that dragons can transform into humans three times a day when they are young. In order for the game to continue , you probably won’t maintain this form, right?”

Yinlong raised his neck slightly, and the snow-white mist enveloped him again. When the silver scales flickered, they reflected colorful luster.

Murphy admired all this, and watched a man with silver hair and gray eyes come out of the fog.

He is beautiful, but not the same as the previous world.The beauty of the dragon is extremely aggressive, so this Enoch has a pair of eagle-like deep eyes, the pupils are still erect, and the thin lips are tightly pressed.

He was wearing a very thin classical aristocratic robe, although it was a very cold season, but there was no sign of it.In other words, his whole body is like frost, which will not shake or melt.

Murphy put his chin on one hand, smiled lightly, and said, "If I win the first game, you have to tell me your name."

Yinlong sat on the chair opposite, and said flatly: "I will say these words after you win."

After tossing a coin, it was decided that Murphy would play the white stone first.

Murphy didn't refuse, and went up to Wang Qianbing first.The silver dragon did the same symmetrically.

Then in the first wave of attacks, each side defeated a pawn of the other side with a knight, thus forming a classic open start.

Next, Murphy moved his queen one square forward, creating a solid attacking situation with the two knights.

Yinlong glanced at it, but sent his bishop directly to B4.This step can be called sharp-edged, and it actually pointed directly at the white queen.

At this moment, both sides are looking at the situation in the next few steps.

Murphy said: "If I send soldiers to deal with the bishop, can I use knights to blitz my queen... What a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, this step is called Philisa's attack, which has already appeared in the history of chess." , and also won a championship title for chess players."

Yinlong looked up at him.

Murphy smiled and said: "By recording experience to avoid repeating the same mistakes next time, this is one of the meanings of knowledge."

Murphy mobilized one of the knights to defend the king accordingly, and temporarily broke Heizi's planned offensive.

But the silver dragon didn't let it go, he pushed in other soldiers, formed a very threatening front, and launched a queen's attack after the long shift - although as black, doing so made his son The force dispatch was far behind the white side, but it successfully exchanged the white side's bishop and took the initiative on the bright side.

And Murphy made a coup. After he rescued the king through transposition, he used troops to force the black bishop to retreat.

In the current situation, both parties understand the most likely development next.If the black queen and the white bishop exchange pieces, then the white chariot can advance into the battlefield with the oppressive power of the right-wing white queen, threatening the black bishop—entering a quick draw.

They have all seen this ending, but they all have the same thing: they all don't accept this ending.

Therefore, there is no need to go to that step and propose a draw.

Murphy used a very risky move. He didn't care about the strong attack of the black queen and the bishop on the left flank. Instead, he made the pawns - making the pawns the last weak line of defense in front of the king.

Then, Murphy pulled out his own chariot, aiming at the black king!

The battle situation instantly entered a thrilling decisive battle.On the left flank, black's queen and bishop are blocked by three white pawns, and it takes only two moves to take the white king lightly; but in black's base camp, there are still white queens and a chariot standing.

Dozens of moves in the future emerged one by one in the minds of the two of them.

But no matter how he calculates, Murphy knows that he has already won - if the opponent chooses to attack instead of defend, the black queen needs at least two moves to checkmate him, while he only needs one step!At this time, if the opponent withdraws his troops and returns to the defense...

Just like now, Silver Dragon finally chose to rescue his king first, and he paid a black knight to exchange for the chariot that came to attack.

But in this way, the white queen was unstoppable. It moved a step sideways, and after finishing off the black soldier, it completely brought the threat of death to the black king.

"Check mate." Murphy smiled.

The chess game can no longer go on.

In addition to the pawns, White lost his bishop and chariot, and Black also lost a knight.The battle line is extremely stalemate, the white king is still on the left flank, trembling and ready to face death, but its queen has already taken a step ahead and successfully checkmates the opponent.

Yinlong put down Heizi and said, "You won."

Murphy was only one step faster, but it was this step that made the difference.In all fairness, Yinlong's chess skills are already among the top in the world, but Murphy has accumulated a longer period of time and a broader perspective. His chess knowledge is at least three centuries ahead of this era.

Then Murphy said, "So, your name?"

"Enoch." Yinlong gave a familiar answer lightly.

The corner of Murphy's mouth curled up, and he said, "Let me introduce myself again. Although you may know that I am Gaius I, I actually prefer my nickname: Murphy."

In the first game of the three, Murphy won.

Murphy said, "You should come up with the questions for the second game."

Enoch was silent for a moment, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll choose a topic that you have no hope for? If it's a test of flying ability, you can just admit defeat."

Murphy said: "Come on, you are so arrogant, you will use despicable methods?"

Enoch's leaden gray eyes stared straight at him for a while, like an eagle locking on its prey, with a defiant smile on the corner of his mouth.

Murphy's heart suddenly thumped, and he thought: He shouldn't compare the size or durability of penis, right?How do people compare with Long?

Enoch probably didn't know what was going on in the mind of this beautiful human being in front of him, but seeing Murphy's sudden unsure expression, he also smiled and said, "Okay, the second game is about mathematics. We Take turns to ask questions, and if both sides answer successfully or fail to answer, the next question will be asked until one party has an answer and the other party is at a loss, and it is considered a victory or defeat.”

"Mathematics..." Murphy smiled, "Okay, then each question is limited to ten days. Then, during this period of time, you may have to live in human society."

Enoch narrowed his eyes. He thought of Murphy's scheming and the experiences of being designed and used several times before.This time he didn't want to fulfill Murphy's wish, so he said, "I don't like human society, you can save yourself some trouble. After ten days, I will come back again and bring the first question."

Murphy smiled and said, "Okay, I wish you all the best~"

The silver dragon then re-formed in a mist, changed back to his wild and beautiful original form, and flew towards the frosty sky in the north.

Once again there was an uproar among the humans, and the soldiers shouted: "Long live the King! Long live Floda!"

The loyal dog knight stepped forward to Murphy nervously, and he was relieved after seeing that the king was not injured.

And more people looked at Murphy with probing eyes—according to the spies' report, it is said that Murphy touched the dragon's paw and chest successively, and even played a chess game with the dragon. This is obviously an ironclad proof that the relationship is very good!

No wonder, no wonder the dragon joins the fight for him!It seems that the king's army has won.

Moreover, with such a powerful and unparalleled flying combat power, I am afraid that the entire military force of Floda will benefit infinitely from it...

Ten days later, Enoch discovered that he had been tricked!

Because when he reappeared and flew towards the king's army, Hurley's army was automatically defeated.

They all thought that the dragon came to fight for the king, just like in myths and legends, all those who opposed the dragon were roasted into charcoal—of course, it is more likely to be frozen into ice now.But in short, no one can compete with such a mighty force, which made the already loosely disciplined mercenaries dare not even have the thought of resisting, and all of them fled directly.

This is an outright victory, Hurley completely lost the last hope of comeback.

Since there was no last resistance before death, the king was able to win everything without a single soldier.He took back all Hurley's titles and powers, including their land, and then sent his henchmen to confiscate all the "iron vaults" on this land.

When the new Minister of Finance led the accounting team to count how many gold coins they had recovered day and night, Murphy was drinking tea with Yinlong in the reception room.

Enoch was obviously very angry, and said coldly: "Human, you are so audacious, how dare you use me again."

Holding the small silver teapot in one hand, Murphy said aggrievedly, "But, I didn't ask you to do this. Why should you blame me for the decision you made yourself?"

Enoch: "..."

In short, Yinlong brought his first math problem.
