Chapter 2770: Old Stone and Star Chess

   Chapter 2770 Old Stone and Star Chess
  When Luigi disappeared.
  Everyone is still thinking about what the poet who came and left suddenly did.
  Dox moved faster than anyone else, and quickly picked up the mask on the ground with the momentum of thunder.
In his opinion, if the poet talks to him and asks him to solve the problem, then what is left should be his...Of course, Kael also has a part of the credit, well, wait for the sandworm bazaar to give some help. It's made up.
  Docks looked through the mask with joy, but soon, his face sank.
   "What kind of mess is this?!"
  Dox walked back cursingly, hesitated for a moment, and handed the broken mask to Angel.
  He really couldn't see what the mask was, there was no extraordinary trace, the only thing worth mentioning was that he didn't know the material of the mask.
  And among the people present, the one with the strongest ability to discern materials is undoubtedly Angel.
  Angel didn't understand the meaning of Docks at first, but after taking the mask and observing it carefully, Angel understood a little bit.
  Angel: "This mask is carved from old stone."
  Old stone? When Angel said the name, everyone present, including Earl Black, was puzzled because they had never heard of this material.
  Dox: "You mean, old stone?"
  Old stone is a kind of stone, the largest production area is located in the seventh state of the Shisang Dynasty, which is also the location of the Punk theme park. Old stone is generally used to increase the feel of alchemical weapons. After grinding it into powder, wipe the alchemical weapons with non-water-stained leather paper to make your alchemical weapons more handy in battle; in addition, you can also Use the same method to maintain extraordinary items.
  For ordinary wizards, the role of old stone is unnecessary. But for bloodline wizards who are seeking to fight with weapons and break through the limits, old stones are still more useful.
  The reason why Dokes asks Lao Shi if it is old stone is a question of cultural tendency and expression.
  In Traditional Chinese, apart from discoverers and inventors, those who dominate naming rights also have the condition of cultural advantage. For example, all names related to steel gears and steam machines are dominated by Yirongguo, which has such a cultural advantage. Another example is the Principality of Wunong, because there are almost 50% of the breeding flowers and plants in the mainland, so the Principality of Wunong also has an advantage in naming flowers and plants.
  The culturally disadvantaged country, besides accepting such naming, there is another choice: newly created nouns.
  To put it bluntly, it is a spiritual victory method for self-comfort.
  This has led to some items in different regions with different names.
  This kind of situation is actually relatively rare in the wizarding world, because most of the extraordinary items are rare, and the naming has its own rules. However, there are exceptions, that is, things that are not too rare but can barely be regarded as extraordinary items. Such things will be subject to geographical and cultural dissent tendencies and have different expressions.
  Old stone, in the eyes of Docs, is a very popular product. According to the translation, it seems that it can also be translated into an old stone. Therefore, Dorks has this question.
  But Docs forgot to think about it. Angel was born outside of the Continent and was not ‘polluted’ by the cultural dissent of the Continent. All he said were standard terms.
  If the standard terminology is also unclear, it can only be said to be ignorance, and cultural dissent cannot be blamed.
  Angel shook his head at Dorks: "It's not the same."
   After a pause, Angel sighed slightly: "Actually, it was the first time I saw Old Stone. I thought that Old Stone was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."
  Angel is an old stone record seen in Margaret’s book in the Darkness of Narok City, Nightmare Realm.
  In reality, Angel has never seen a description of Lao Shi in any books. Therefore, he even suspected that Lao Shi was actually a legend.
  But when Lao Shi was held in his hand, the "server" in the thinking space was quickly activated. Through detailed analysis, Angel's dusty memory was opened, and information about Lao Shi resurfaced.
   "What is the old stone, is it valuable?" Dorks' eyes lit up. Since Angel has seen it for the first time, doesn't it mean that the value of the old stone is very high?
  Everyone also looked at Angel, this "mortal" that seemed ordinary to them, could it really have a big background?
  Angel pondered for a moment: "If you say it is valuable, you can count it...but it depends on how you use it."
   "What does it mean to be ‘also count’, are there any prerequisites?" Doc said anxiously.
  Angel: "It's not a prerequisite, but..."
   Just halfway through Angel's words, he suddenly stopped.
  Dokes did not ask, because everyone present did not pay attention to the old stone anymore, but looked to the left side of the corridor.
  A rickety figure slowly emerged from the air.
  "The predator who wants to climb to a high position, the whispers of the stars tell me that you are ready to fall into the demon abyss?" The old voice, like an ancient voice, reached everyone's ears.
  As the voice fell, an old woman with a cane, a star-moon three-pointed hat, and a star-moon robe, with skin dangling like chicken skin, appeared in front of everyone.
  And this old woman has the same characteristic as the previous poet, that is, she wears a mask, but her mask covers her left eye, which happens to complement the poet's mask.
  After the old woman stood still, she raised her head and looked at...Black Earl with a slightly cloudy gaze.
  For Earl Black only had one nose, the old woman was not surprised, but watched him quietly.
   is also the same as the poet, other people are not seen by the old woman at all, as if they do not exist.
  According to the previous conversation with the poet Luigi, this old woman should be...testing the Black Earl?
   "Fall into the Demon Abyss? What do you mean?" Earl Black said lightly.
  The old woman lightly squeezed her staff, and a special sun-moon pattern appeared on the ground, and above the sun-moon pattern, there was a little bit of starlight.
  As everyone wondered about the old woman's behavior, the stars quickly combined, and a circular astrolabe appeared in front of Earl Black.
  A horizontal and vertical web is formed on the astrolabe, and the light spots at the intersecting points appear occasionally.
  When they saw this chart, everyone was shocked. They are not unfamiliar with this astrolabe.
  This is not so much an astrolabe, as it is... a chessboard.
  This is a kind of "entertainment" that prophecy wizards like very much, called star chess.
  Each point that intersects horizontally and vertically is a star. Every time a child is placed, the two parties in the game will silently meditate on an event, a problem, or the same item. The specific type is decided by the two parties through negotiation.
  After finishing the child, he uses various methods to "guess" what the other party is thinking.
  Of course, this is a "guessing" to outsiders, but for the prophecy wizard, it is actually a kind of "interpretation".
  The one who interprets successfully can make the opponent play an extra piece.
  The more pawns dropped, the more likely it is to form a "horoscope", allowing the opponent to interpret the final answer. And to interpret the opponent's "horoscope" is the winner.
   Therefore, avoiding the move and misleading the opponent to interpret is a game in the course of chess.
  The rules are roughly the same. It can be said that this is an exclusive game for the prophecy wizard. Non-prophetic wizards, once they encounter this kind of star chess, they are basically useless.
  "Play chess?" Earl Black's ending sound improved.
  Know that none of the people present are prophetic wizards. Playing star chess is basically to catch the blind. Before Docks had Kael to help, but if he played star chess, he would have to throw in and surrender.
  The old woman did not reply, but touched the ground again with her stick, and the star placed the plate.
Where    crosses vertically and horizontally, they light up one after another, and finally form a row of stars like a rainbow bridge.
  "The prey who wished to ascend to a high position, listen to the whispers of the stars." The old woman closed her eyes and did not speak.
  This situation is the same as that of the previous poets. When the subject comes up, he doesn't say anything. You won’t speak again until you solve the problem.
   "It feels like a dummy, no matter what the question is, it won't answer." Docks whispered to the side.
  This is actually not just Dox’s idea, other people are the same. The poet said at least a few more words before, but the old woman was completely talking to herself, Earl Black's question, she also answered incorrectly.
   Now the horoscope is displayed, and the meaning is obvious.
  She didn't want to play with Earl Black, but directly showed her astrology for Earl Black to interpret.
  Although it is still different from the real astrology chess, it is much simpler... But can non-prophetic wizards really interpret it?
  Everyone looked at Earl Hei with piercing eyes, and Earl Hei looked at the stars on the chessboard in silence.
  Several seconds later, Earl Black summoned Vaye, then returned his nose to his position, signaled Vaye to stretch out his hand, and clicked on the first star that lit up before.
   Soon, a piece of information appeared on the chessboard: the other side.
  Next, Earl Black clicked on the old woman's chess one by one.
  Each is a place name, but it is different from the place name in the traditional meaning.
  For example: the other shore, the sky, the starry sky, the setting sun, the sea reflected by the moon...
  These place names should be "interpreted" one by one by Earl Black if they follow the normal horoscope game play, but now the old woman gives the answer directly.
  Now Earl Black only needs to do one thing: interpret the meaning of the astrology through the meaning of these chess pieces.
  Earl Black is very calm from beginning to end, which also gives everyone a little confidence. Perhaps Earl Black can really interpret it?
  However, it didn’t take long for everyone to hear Wye asking in the psychic band:
Dokes, is your inspiration touched? Come and have a look, what’s your opinion?

  Although it was what Vaye said, there is no doubt that Earl Black must have signaled Vaye to do so.
  Dox wanted to say that he couldn't understand it either. But he knew that this time it was not Vaye's request, but Black Earl's order, so he could only bite the bullet.
  A little bit of time passed, and Angel watched Dorks scratching his head and scratching his ears over there, as well as Vay’s sighs, he knew that this astrology was probably difficult to interpret.
  In fact, Angel has a way to interpret, he can go to the Wilderness of Dreams to ask for foreign aid.
  The answer interpreted by foreign aid is definitely not wrong. However, it is difficult for him to explain how he interpreted it.
  I can’t say that he has practiced prophecy across departments, right?
  So, Angel can only watch quietly from the side.
  In fact, he also really wants to know, if there is no solution, what will be the result? Angel glanced at the old woman who closed her eyes and didn't say a word, and secretly guessed in her heart that maybe she hasn't opened her eyes?
  No matter what the old woman is in the end, what we can know is that if the wise men dominate the "surprise" in the mouth, it must be missed.
  This actually made Angel a little puzzled. Didn’t the wise master know that there was no prophetic wizard among them? How could they arrange a star chess test?
  While Ingel silently waited for Earl Black to give up, a turning point appeared.
  Earl Black sighed slightly: "Forget it."
  Angel thought that Earl Hei was about to give up, but Earl Hei’s next sentence gave Angel a surprise.
   "Astrology means... the evil Moyuan."
  As soon as Earl Black's words fell, the old woman opened her eyes: "The interpretation is correct. Since you have interpreted the evil Moyuan, you should understand what I mean. This is my message to you."
  The voice fell, the old woman stepped back gently, and her figure began to slowly disappear.
  At the same time, everyone’s ears heard the old woman’s last words:
Preventionists who want to go to a high position, please remember my name, astrologer, Gleipnir.

  The old woman disappeared, leaving only the broken mask she was wearing.
  Way walked over, picked up the mask, returned to the side of the crowd, and handed the mask to Angel.
  From beginning to end, Wai did not speak.
Everyone was very puzzled at this time, but what was puzzled was not why Earl Hei suddenly knew the answer to the astrology-Earl Hei had used prophecy before, although he said it was borrowed from other people's abilities and has been used up, but who knows True or false?
  They wondered what Gleipnir’s so-called gift to Earl Black meant?
  Why is the Evil God Demon Abyss a message to Earl Black?
  Judging from the silent attitude of Earl Black, it seems that this message really touched Earl Black?
Although everyone was very curious in their hearts, but looking at the silent aura exuding from Earl Black and Waidu's bitterness, he didn't dare to speak. In the end, everyone did not ask aloud, but turned their gazes to Ingres again. Body.
  Angel is holding half of the mask in his left hand and half of the mask in his right hand. The masks represent the left and right eyes respectively.
  He tried to put the two masks together.
   is very fit, it can be said to be a tight fit.
  In other words, these two broken masks should come from the same source.
   However, even if the two masks are now combined, there is still a part missing.
  Less is the nose and the lower half of the face.
  According to the previous rule, if there is no accident, it is estimated that a third "person" will appear soon, and this person should be wearing the remaining part of the mask.
  Angel raised his head and looked at everyone: "Should we continue to talk about the old stone, or wait?"
