Even in Ashida Sarkon's long life, the first impression that boy made on him was particularly interesting and ridiculous:

Under the dim candle, the black-haired boy was quite embarrassed. His forehead was dripping with blood, his little face was bruised and purple, and there were red marks on his neck from being pinched. His slightly trembling body was covered with tattered linen clothes.

thing, and a dagger was tightly tied to his leg.

After hearing his identity, he looked at a loss. He was a little nervous while pressing his chest. He seemed to vaguely know the meaning of the word "magic master". The pressure in his body changed drastically, and he even breathed out.

The air is quite turbid.

However, his eyes are really special.

Yes, those strange eyes are not full of fear and strangeness, nor panic and vigilance, but full of curiosity and excitement?

Thales' thoughts at this moment surprised even himself.

The moment he heard "Magic Master", after being surprised, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart and wanted to ask what exactly a Magic Master was.

Is it considered an occupational disease?

At this moment, Thales saw three irregular spheres placed quietly in the dark corner in his peripheral vision. Each sphere was as big as a person.

Until Thales recognized it, human hands and feet were vaguely visible on those spheres.

The traveler's face turned a little pale.

"I think you have already met the Talen brothers and Moria from the Brotherhood," the magician Aishida noticed his gaze and grinned: "They are very ambitious, and they will immediately become red when they come up.

Square Street Center.”

"Sorry, I'm not used to suffocating or squeezing like Morris does. In fact, I prefer simple methods."

Is it really easier to crush a living person into a ball? Thales thought about it and silently cursed.

"Come, child." Aixida smiled gently. His voice was particularly pleasant and gentle, "Come and take a look at my chessboard."

Thales swallowed, turned his head, drove the few human flesh spheres out of his brain, and quickly thought about his situation. Then, he saw the one on Asheida's left hand that looked particularly like a 3D effect (but

After he knew it was definitely not a blue energy ball projected by), he decisively eliminated the thought of "pulling out the dagger and putting it on his neck" from his mind.

Tails followed the method he used when defending his thesis in his previous life, taking three slow but regular breaths, and then walked up slowly.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

Aixida looked at the boy's adult-like behavior with a half-smile. When he approached the chessboard and was about to speak, she was surprised to see the boy pull out a chair without hesitation, sit on it, and wrinkled again.

He frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the view of the chair, so he got down and moved the chair a little towards Aishida, then climbed up and sat down.

"Well, my legs are a little sore." Thales smiled sheepishly at Asheida, and accidentally pulled the wound on his forehead, causing him to "hiss" hard in pain.

"It is my fault."

Asheida turned her head with interest and gently tapped her right hand. The wound on Thales' forehead seemed to be suppressed by something, and the blood stopped flowing out.

"This is - you increased and fixed the local pressure of the air?" Thales touched his forehead in surprise and found an invisible film that blocked his hand from touching the wound.

Aixida put away her smile and nodded calmly.

"Yes, your tutor taught you physical science?"

"Uh, no." Thales put down his hand in embarrassment. It seemed that Acida mistook him for a noble or rich kid.

Asheida nodded and turned to the chessboard on the table.

"Do you recognize what this is?"

Thales looked at the map on the table carefully.

"A board game with Red Square Street as the map - no, this is the map of the current battle situation outside! The red side is the Blood Bottle Gang, and the black side is the Brotherhood!" Thales said suddenly.

"certainly."

The expressionless Aixida stretched out her right hand, and two black chess pieces and a crystal chess piece flew from the distance and were caught in his hand.

"This was supposed to be a seamless trap."

"I will trap all the brothers from Maurice to Cenza in a short time."

"But things never go as planned, don't they?"

The three chess pieces flew in the air, like birds, circling around Thales' head.

Magic, magic, just treat it as a magic show. Thales watched Asheida's performance calmly.

"First of all, the guys under my command are each more useless than the last. They should immediately besiege Maurice and Cenza and kill them at all costs. But they cowardly bypassed the powerful enemy and used guerrilla attacks first.

Cutting off the wings is a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.”

"Secondly, I don't know if it was reinforcements from the Brotherhood. In short, the unexpected chess pieces entered the field and disrupted my deployment too early."

As Aixida spoke without emotion, the chess pieces on Thales' head suddenly fell to the map one by one.

"This is the companion who came up from the lower city with you. His speed was frightening. He knocked down Dorno and Spin in just one encounter. Rolf can only run after him until now.

As a tracking superpower, Numeno can't even suck the dust behind his feet. I can only say that it's really gratifying that the Brotherhood still has such an underachieving master."

In the air, a black swordsman fell into the map, right in front of another red swordsman, and further away, there was a red prime minister.

Thales knew that he was talking about Yara, so he could only beat a drum in his heart, hoping that she would be safe, especially when there was a red prime minister in the distance.

"This gap is really fatal. Many chess pieces escaped. Although they are all trash, but -" Aixida sighed, "Through them, the Black Street Brotherhood Headquarters arrived earlier than I expected."

I have known the situation here since I was a child - I can feel that Lancer and his men have controlled the entrance."

"The mouse trap—is broken."

He lowered his head desolately, full of regret and sadness. At that moment, Thales almost thought he was seeing a compassionate temple priest in front of him.

But Aixida immediately raised his head, his sad expression disappeared without a trace. He flicked his fingers, and the two chess pieces in the air began to rotate again.

"This guy came from the other direction. I don't know what camp he is from. The time it took him to kill the Leiden brothers and sisters was shorter than the time it took to kill two pigs. This guy rushed all the way to the vicinity and was unstoppable. I just

Being able to send out Gulaton beside me, I don’t even have anyone to talk to."

Aixida seemed to be dissatisfied. The crystal knight fell from the sky and was placed next to a red guard.

"Probably the chess pieces of other forces have entered the field, either nobles or officials - this is also an accident."

Thales swallowed again.

"Finally, it's you, little friend. Since no one is available, I have to invite you in person."

Aixida tilted her head, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

The last black pawn on Thales' head suddenly fell to the center of the map.

Lands next to a red king piece.

Thales became uncontrollably nervous.

"Tell me, where are you from?"

Aixida leaned on the back of her chair, the expression on her face hard to tell.

"Why did the Brotherhood take you all the way to the center of Red Square Street?"

"Are you some terrible weapon? Sent to me to assassinate me?"

"Is it still important information and packages that need to be handed over to the other chess piece?"

"I hope you can answer me voluntarily and kindly, instead of shouting 'Death to the magician' and then rushing over - to be honest, that is pure suicide."

Aixida looked at him quietly, her eyes full of sincerity.

Unlike the sincerity in Rick's eyes that clearly had ulterior motives, the sincerity in Asheida's eyes was emotionless, as if he didn't care about the answer to this question at all.

Calm down, Thales, calm down.

The traveler reminded himself, constantly recalling several paper presentations and seminars in his mind, and how to use the language that the audience knew well to lead them into unfamiliar areas.

I'm pretty good at this, aren't I?

Thales took a deep breath

"Mr. Ashida Sachern, are you saying that just by sitting here, you can know all the goings-on in the entire Red Square neighborhood?"

He first needs to collect all the information.

"Not really," Aixida replied nonchalantly: "I can know even the smallest air conditions in the entire street, from the changes in air pressure everywhere in the human body to the air flow outside the body. In other words - everything in Hongfang Street

Every breathing life is under my control."

Is this his ability? So, is he worthy of being a Qi magician? Thales thought secretly.

No wonder the brothers were beaten so badly.

"Then you will naturally understand," Thales began to sort out his words and logic, looking for opportunities for survival in the confrontation of words:

"Along the way, my companions and I carefully avoided any confrontation and only took action when we had no choice - whether it was the Brotherhood or the Blood Bottle Gang."

"I think this can prove that we are not members of the Brotherhood. At least we are not here tonight for the Brotherhood, and we have no intention of getting involved in the battlefield. So we have no intention of being your enemy."

"It makes sense." Aixida nodded, still looking ungrateful, but her tone did not soften at all: "But you still ate my chess pieces. I don't care about the lives of those trash fish, but I do.

My plans and goals were interrupted - whether it was intentional or unintentional, no matter how depraved the judge is, he will not turn a blind eye to manslaughter, right?"
