Chapter 2789 Gale
In the early morning of summer, the sky is clear after the rain, and the sky is like a clear sapphire.
An airship flits across the blue sky like a giant silver whale, reflecting the rays of the sun and shining brightly.
Joan was sitting by the window of the airship, facing His Majesty the Emperor, and there was a chessboard on the coffee table between the two seats.
At the end of the game, Roland rested his chin on one hand, frowned, and thought about how to solve the dilemma on the chessboard.
This game of chess has been played for half an hour, and His Majesty the Emperor is still struggling, trying to find a way to turn defeat into victory.
Joan didn't want to hurt His Majesty, but he had already calculated all possible moves. Unless he took the initiative to release the water, no matter how hard Roland racked his brains, the chess game would only end in the game of surrendering.
Now that the victory has been decided, Joan doesn't need to spend too much time on the chessboard, and leisurely read the design parameter manual of the "Gallery" class airship in his hand.
"Gallery", which is the magic airship that Joan is riding at the moment, is the first experimental model of this series.
This new type of magical airship uses a crystal steel frame that is lighter than traditional steel, and is also equipped with a new floating module that Joan participated in inventing, so that the cruising speed of the airship can be increased to The exaggerated 200 knots is 80 knots higher than the previous generation of the main military airship "Sanhua" class, and the load capacity has doubled to as high as 1,000 tons - comparable to the "Hercules" class transport airship!
The armed system of the "Hail" airship includes 32 magic crystal aviation cannons, and it is equipped with a giant eagle bombing wing. In addition, it can also carry a hundred new "wing cavalry" for escort and air combat missions. The well-deserved "aircraft carrier"!
"Hailwind" has conducted five full-load test flights, all of which performed well. Today is the last test. It set sail from the Fort Kolas Military Airport, flew thousands of miles on the way, and was scheduled to land in the "Hometown of Green Fields".
His Majesty the Emperor personally boarded the plane, and his entourage, including Joan and more than 300 Asa students from the New World, led by Kanti, went to the Far East Agricultural College Branch Campus in the "Land of Green Field" for an internship.
The first group of Asa youths from the New World to study in Fort Colas, totaled 3,500 people, one tenth of them had the professional level of druid or ranger.
Among these young "children of nature", the best among them is Conti, who is a "Druid of the Green Field" who belongs to the New World Branch of the "Ring of Harvest". Under the influence, they joined the "Ring of Harvest" one after another, and got the opportunity to go to the "Hometown of Green Fields" for further study.
Conti is not very old, but she has the highest professional level among all the international students. In addition, she is the closed disciple of Ms. Valentina, and the most favored junior sister of the cabinet minister, Lord Tonya. Half a year ago She once received training in the "Hometown of Green Fields", and her background, qualifications and personal strength are all outstanding, so she was naturally elected by everyone as the "leading elder sister".
When the airship set sail, it was Kandy who was sitting across from Joan to play chess, but her chess skills were limited, and she lost eight games in less than an hour.
Joan was afraid that she would become furious after losing, and she would throw the table and go into a rage, so she comforted the poor girl to work harder.
"If you work harder, can I beat you in one game?" Candy asked hopefully at the time.
Joan looked away from the book a little, glanced at the chessboard lightly, and told her in the most tactful way possible:
"You can't win, but you can persist for two more minutes to exercise your psychological quality when you encounter setbacks."
"It's useless to work harder, so I'm still playing a ghost!"
Kandy was so angry that he ran away, left the first class cabin, and chatted with the students in the economy class behind to relieve stress.
Not long after, His Majesty the Emperor, who went to the cockpit to condolence to the crew, came back with his hands in his pockets, whistling, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Qiao An was free and invited him to play chess.
"Just now I saw little sister Kandy playing chess with you, did she not win a game?" Roland asked vigilantly.
"Actually, there is not much difference in our chess strength. If she works harder, she still has a certain chance of beating me."
Joan said regretfully.
"Oh... According to this, you two's chess skills are about 30 to 70?" His Majesty used his brains, "Donia said that she won more games than sister Kandy, and I played chess with Dongia. Chess also wins more and loses less, so my chess strength is about 50 to 50 with yours?"
"Your majesty is really good at mathematics."
"Ah? Really? Hearing you say that, I'm still embarrassed, then... let's play two games!"
ten minutes later……
His Majesty the Emperor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help suspecting that his math was taught by his physical education teacher.
"Dr. Vader, there is always room for gentlemen to play chess, so you can stop at the end, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, I understand too well!" Joan ate His Majesty's "King" and re-arranged the chessboard, "You are implying that you did not use your full strength, and you are not convinced that you lost this game, right? It's okay, it's okay, this game is not good. Forget it, let's start again!"
"Ah? This..."
"Your Majesty, could it be that I have misunderstood your intentions? In fact, you want to imply that I will show mercy?"
"……of course not."
"Sure enough, I knew you were not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose."
"Hahahaha...By the way, you were so serious when you played chess with little sister Kandy just now?"
"I'm not as serious as playing chess with you. After all, I'm also a gentleman. I have to pay attention to my demeanor in front of ladies. In an hour, I only won eight games with her."
"I have to say, little sister Kandy has such a good temper, she didn't even flip the table over, picked up the chessboard and hit you on the dog's head!"
"Haha! Your Majesty, you are so humorous!"
"..."
"Is this flattery of mine not to your liking?"
"I'm so uncomfortable, Dr. Vader, I'm so uncomfortable!"
"Play chess and chess, you won't feel uncomfortable if you win a game."
"The question is when will I win?"
"Hurry up, hurry up! Work harder, work harder Your Majesty! Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
Qiao An upholds the humanitarian spirit and warmly encourages His Majesty the Emperor.
Then, during the next three hours of the voyage, he did not allow his opponent to win a single game, inflicting inhumane mental torture on His Majesty the Emperor. Of course it wasn't his fault, it's just that His Majesty the Emperor didn't work hard enough.
...
The new magical airship "Hailstorm" departed from Fort Kolas at 7:00 in the morning, and flew over the Barle Volcano in the middle of the Far East at noon.
The headquarters of the "Ring of Harvest", the most influential druid society in the Vales world today, "The Village of Green Fields", is located in the basin surrounded by jungles at the southern foot of the volcano.
