C207 Plotting for Dark Cloud(part I) (1/2)
The next day. There were still two days until the duel with Duke Hall.
In the chess room, Arthur looked at the Persian cat that Hall had brought with him. The fluffy golden fur on its entire body made the Kitty look extremely mighty. Hall hugged the cat, but the cat was still using its beautiful, dark blue eyes to stare at Arthur.
”This is …”
”Heh, Wallace, come and meet our Heavenly Stage Knight! ”Hall waved the Persian cat's front paw at Arthur.
”Does the Grand Duke even have the leisure to raise a pet?” Arthur replied.
”En, I have always kept him, but the children in the orphanage really liked Wallace, so I temporarily left him there to take care of him. Look at this smooth fur color, the children must have been very diligent in grooming him. Great. ”
”Uh, okay.” Arthur looked at Mao'er, not knowing what to say. ”As long as he doesn't interfere with us playing chess, we'll be fine.” ”
”Yes, about that, Arthur —” The Duke Hall placed the Persian cat, Wallace, on the table in front of the chess board.
The cat looked at the board, then reached out and moved a pawn.
Arthur looked at the cat playing with pieces, and he suddenly froze.
”Wait a minute, Grand Duke, you don't mean to say.”
”That's right, your opponent today is Wallace. The Duke Hall said seriously.
”You ….” Are you kidding me?! ”Arthur's eyes widened, he actually wanted to fight against a cat?!
”Grand Duke, this joke isn't funny at all!” ”I know, because I played too badly yesterday. You are punishing me, aren't you?” ”
”Well, maybe, maybe not.” ”Hall smiled mysteriously,” You'll know after you and Wallace play a round. ”
Arthur looked at the Persian cat on the table that was squatting down arrogantly like a king. The cat looked at Arthur, its blue eyes seemed to see through everything that Arthur had done.
”Meow?” ”Wallace extended his claws, signalling Arthur to quickly play chess.
Are you kidding me? It was just a cat -- a cat --
— — Just that?
As the king of Arthur's last legion was about to be killed, Arthur realized how terrifying this cat was. Arthur did not even have a chance. His ten legions were completely suppressed by the opponent, not to mention they did not even lose a single legion.
Indeed, Arthur had underestimated his opponent from the beginning. After all, his opponent was a cat. However, after Arthur found out that his first legion was almost destroyed, he began to display his true abilities. However, there was still no chance of victory. In the end, he planned to destroy everything. He wanted to take down at least one of the enemy's legions, but he was beaten to the point where he had no way to fight back.
Arthur's ten legions were all annihilated in a single round!
What was this cat? The world champion of chess? His chess skills are even above Hall's!?
”How did my son do?” Hall sneered on the side, showing off his satisfaction. ”He's the strongest chess player in the entire Pantolacken, you know.” Though that was fifty years ago. ”
Arthur did not dare believe it. This was an old cat that had lived for fifty years.
Arthur's mind was in a mess.
”That's all for today. You can go.” Hall said to Arthur.
”Don't you have anything to say to me?” ”Arthur was originally going to get a beating.
”No.” You're better off today than you were yesterday, or even the day before yesterday. Hall said.
Are you sure this isn't the opposite?!
”Let's go, don't stop Wallace and I from playing chess. ”It won't be easy to deal with Wallace. I have to put in all my effort into playing chess.” ”
Arthur was extremely puzzled. He might as well be a cat, choosing between a cat and Arthur. He would rather choose a cat to play chess with him.
”Meow ~” Wallace waved his cat claws at Arthur, as if he was saying goodbye to him. Arthur was so angry that he directly rushed out of the chess room.
Noon, Constantine checked the condition of the Bear Boy.
At the junction of the Bear Man's head with the Great Grizzly's body, the white fur slowly expanded.
”Uh, the hair on his body has turned white?” Constantine asked.
”Probably because the White Bear Man's own photons had flowed into the bear's body. ”This is very normal.” The White Bear Man who possessed a strong vitality and regenerative ability had slowly eroded from being only left with a head to possessing a new body. He's getting better, I'm sure of it. ”
”Is that so?” Constantine laughed, ”That's great.” Un, that, what should I call you? ”
The White Bear Boy slowly moved his hand and caressed Constantine's head. At the same time, he said slowly in a hoarse voice, ”Ey-ley-en.”
”Elaine?” White Elaine. Constantine laughed, ”Please advise me, Brother Elaine.” ”
White Bear Man wanted to squeeze out a smile, but just by moving his hand and saying a single sentence, he had already exhausted all of his energy. He fainted.
”Don't bother him. Let him rest and save some energy.” Guinevere replied.
”….” All right. Constantine said as he walked out.
”Where are you going?” ”
”To see another patient.” Constantine said.
He took a detour and entered another Clinic area.
