"Dangdangdang~~"

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

Perhaps in order to make every contestant feel involved, Rosen's opponent was also an unknown new chess player.

Of course, although the chess player is new, he is quite old and has gray hair on his temples.

He smiled gently at Rosen, who also had 'frosted hair'.

"Ahaha~ Old guy versus old guy, interesting."

Rosen also laughed and said in a low voice: "It is indeed interesting."

At this time, the chess referee took out a dice and said, "Gentlemen, please guess who will go first."

"I guess singular."

"Then I guess double."

"Ka La La~~"

The dice is rolled and it is an odd number.

Rosen chuckled, glanced at the other party's ID card, and said with a smile: "Sir Zeno of Aaron, then I won't be polite."

Sir Zeno raised his eyebrows. "Sir Helic of Levender, you look very confident. But I have to say that I have been studying Victory Chess for more than 30 years. Although my chess skills are not as good as those of a master, I am not a mediocre player either."

Rosen made his move and started the game: "Go ahead."

The referee on the side immediately said: "Twenty seconds to fight back. If you exceed the time limit, it will be considered as giving up. Giving up three times will be considered as giving up."

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

Sir Zeno looked serious and responded with a move.

Rosen responded with the second hand without hesitation, which took only two seconds.

Perhaps stimulated by him, Sir Zeno also started to reply immediately.

The two of them took turns playing, and in the blink of an eye, fifty hands had passed, and the total time was no more than ten minutes.

Rosen remained calm and composed throughout the entire process, and the 20-second handover time never took him more than 2 seconds.

Like a ruthless magical puppet.

Sir Zeno was sweating profusely and began to think according to the time.

So Rosen had some free time.

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

There were about three or four of these guys, and like poisonous snakes, their eyes were scanning the people on the field, as if they were looking for something.

Apparently, the gray-clad guards had also spotted them and were keeping a close eye on them, as if they were guarding against thieves.

Selena followed Rosen's gaze and was immediately shocked.

She had recognized it as Aaron Night Guard.

She signaled to Rosen with her eyes.

"How about we not get off? 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 found them, they would not attack them because they had no weapons and they also had to consider Master Shahram's face.

The total amount of the chess king prize and the gambling rewards exceeded 20,000 Oggs, which was the start-up capital he prepared for the development of the island.

If you go back to the barren island directly without this money, you will have to spend a long time accumulating original capital, and life will be very difficult.

He stopped looking around and just sat there leisurely, concentrating on the chess game.

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

Rosen's new opponent is a businessman in his thirties, also from Levender, named Muradi. He is very skilled in chess and has reached the semi-finals many times.

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

Rosen was startled, and immediately understood the reason: "I met an acquaintance of Sir Helick."

But his expression did not change: "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 doesn't mean I can't do it. It's boring anyway."

"All right."

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

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

To avoid any accidents, he narrowed his eyes at the other party, revealing a hint of coldness: "Mr. Muradi, I am a pure person, and I like pure people."

“Playing chess is just playing chess.”

Muradi sensed it and smiled faintly: "Yes, it's just a game of chess."

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

Muradi raised his brows and became competitive.

"Sir Helic, no one has taken the initiative to let me take the first move since five years ago."

“I’m honored to break that convention.”

After that, he signaled to the referee: "Let's start."

Muradi laughed and said, "Sir, you are really confident. I will also use my full strength."

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

The sound of chess pieces hitting the board continued. Muradi's brows gradually furrowed, but Rosen was as calm as ever, and even his eyes did not change.

"I give up."

At move 140, Muradi made a big mistake by moving his pieces too quickly, and his mentality collapsed.

Rosen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Muradi, my style of doing other things is exactly the same as playing victory chess. I hope you will remember this."

The merchant from Levender took the hint, shuddered slightly, and immediately replied, "I have given up, sir."

Subconsciously, he had no intention of causing trouble.

"very good."

Muradi immediately stood up and left the chess room without any reluctance.

Rosen turned his head to look at Serena and winked at her.

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

After feeling Rosen's gaze, he whispered in his mind: "Aaron Night Guard seems to be paying special attention to us."

Rosen smiled: "He did look at us a few more times, but he didn't pay much attention to us, simply because we were more conspicuous."

A novice chess player who defeats a veteran chess player will certainly receive extra attention.

Of course, as the observation time increases, the time when they are finally exposed will get closer and closer.

Soon, Rosen entered the semi-finals.

Except for Rosen, the remaining three are all famous Victory Chess masters. Even if their level is not that of a master, it is not far from that.

As a new face, Rosen suddenly stood out.

Rosen felt that he was being watched by many people, and among them might be Sir Helick's acquaintances.

But it doesn’t matter, Master Shahram is a man with a lot of pride.

For the sake of 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 audience.

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 heartless 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 final chess king final began.

Rosen's opponent is the famous Victory Chess master, Sir Humphrey, a high-level top wizard from the Alpine County in the central part of Vilan Island.

At the same time, he is also the younger brother of the Earl of Gaoshan County and a member of the Duke of Weilan's magic advisory group.

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, then glanced at Rosen, and said softly: "Sir Helic, it seems that you have enough confidence in your chess skills."

There is something hidden in these words.

As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew that the knight had seen through his and Selena's true identities.

The flaw was definitely not in himself, but in Selena.

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

Because of his status, he can often see Selena, and Selena is not good at disguising herself, so after a long time, she will naturally be exposed.

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

But Rosen fully understood the other party's performance, and this was what he expected.

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

As the younger brother of the Earl of Alpine County, Sir Humphrey would most likely not support marrying Princess Selena to King Danger.

At least not emotionally supportive.

However, he would never stand up for the little baron, nor would he easily agree with the princess marrying the little baron.

Weighing the two options, neutrality is the 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, and whispered in his mind instead.

"I'm not the only one who discovered your secret. Many people present here have discovered it. The Black Iron Guards and Aaron's Night Guards have also discovered it."

"Master Shahram does not want his business to be affected, so the chess king final will go on as normal."

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

"Master, what I mean is that as long as you beat me, the chess king prize money and the 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 Pelican Island depends on whether Mother Nature is willing to favor you."

Rosen understood and had expected this result.

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

No matter in which world, as long as it is a society made up of people, the upper limit of wealth a person can have depends directly on his status, not his ability.

Baron Bird Shit dared to place a heavy bet, and even if he won the game, the other party would find ways to deny his debt. But the princess' husband earned 20,000 gold Oggs with his own ability, so there would be no trouble at all.

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