"So, do you guys want to take a break, or do you want to take on the next test?"
The butler's words attracted everyone's attention again.
Xia Yanzhen looked at the time. There was still a lot of time left in the twenty-four-hour mission countdown, so there was no rush.
"If I have a break, can I order something?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Are you addicted to eating?" The butler smiled, but his retort showed a bad mood.
This made both Elena and Wentai's faces twitch.
After two tests, they have fully understood the horror of Dream Castle.
This is not a "universal wishing machine".
Ironically, the person who knew this best and was vigilant enough is already dead.
They did not fully anticipate the danger, but they survived.
"Yes, your cook is very skilled. If possible, I hope he can make these into dishes." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Is this your wish?" the steward asked.
"Okay."
Xia Yanzhen didn't care what the wish was, so he agreed immediately.
"Then, Dream Castle will satisfy you." The butler clapped his hands twice, and the pile of corpses suddenly disappeared. "When you complete all the tests, you will get a sumptuous meal."
"Then let's start the next item." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Is this what you decided too?"
The steward seeks the opinions of others.
"Of course, my brother's words are my decision." Kong waved his hand, pretending to be powerful.
Elena and Mrs. Wen also had no objections.
For them, the test did not cause any physical loss, but they were slightly mentally weak.
Now that I have embraced Xia, it is better to complete the test as soon as possible, realize my wish and leave this hellish place.
"Then, please follow me for the third and final test."
The butler opened the door behind him and walked up the steps.
He took everyone to the third floor of the castle.
The third floor of the castle is a room similar to a reception room, which is much smaller than the hall on the first floor.
The flames in the fireplace and kerosene lamps on the walls illuminate the entire room, emitting warm light and heat.
In the room, there is an original table.
There are colorful grids on the surface of the table, which looks like some kind of chessboard?
There are five chairs outside the table.
"Welcome to the third and final test, the game of Death Flight. Let me explain the rules."
The butler walked to the table and said, "This is a game called flying chess. A total of..."
He introduced the board games on the table.
Classic flying chess, each player has four planes, starting from the starting point and having their own end point.
The winner is the one who reaches all the planes to the finish line.
Generally, there will be four players in a game.
These are the basic rules. Depending on the situation, the specific gameplay may be a little different.
Depending on the situation, the players can discuss it among themselves and reach an agreement.
The housekeeper was introducing the rules of flying chess. Elena and Wentai knew flying chess.
A little absent-minded, only Kong listened with interest.
After the butler finished explaining the rules, Kong asked excitedly: "So, how do I pass the test? I just need to complete the flying chess game?"
"There are two ways."
The steward held out two fingers and said, "First, the first one to get all his aircraft to the end can complete the test, realize his wish and leave. Second, destroy other people's aircraft, and only your aircraft will be left on the field.
It can be considered as completing the test.”
Kong heard the implication and asked: "You mean, in the end, only one person can complete the test?"
"Yes." The butler smiled.
This made Elena and the others' expressions change.
In the end, only one person can complete the test?
In this way, they and the terrible Xia are competitors.
If it was a fight, they would have surrendered on the spot.
Fortunately, flying chess is not a game that emphasizes force value or intelligence. Luck is the key to this game.
Can still play.
"Sorry, brother, it seems that we are going to become competitors." Kong said to Xia Yanzhen, "Why don't we really burn yellow paper and become half-brothers before that... Hey, I
I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
Xia Yanzhen walked to one of the seats and sat down before he could finish his words.
"There are five places here." Mrs. Wen looked at the housekeeper.
"Yes, because there were originally five people, right? It's a pity that someone..." He shook his head, "So, I will also participate in this game."
"Are you coming too?" Elena asked in surprise.
"That's right." said the butler, "the master hopes to see more fierce competition."
Elena and Wentai's expressions became increasingly ugly.
Only Kong immediately came out of the disappointment of being ignored by Xia Yanzhen and laughed to express that it was fun when there were many people, which was interesting.
"You won't cheat, right?" Mrs. Wen looked at the housekeeper worriedly.
"Won't."
The butler spoke firmly.
"There are no chess pieces." Xia Yanzhen, who had already taken a seat in advance, said.
"Don't worry, we haven't finished explaining the rules yet. We just mentioned the basic rules of the flying chess game, but ours is a death flight game..." the butler continued to smile.
This time, there was finally a different emotion in the smile.
He went on to introduce the rules.
Five people, each of them must have four initial aircraft (aircraft).
But Xia Yanzhen and the others need to sacrifice part of their body to own the plane.
For example, Xia Yanzhen can use his hair to form an airplane, either one strand or a handful.
When the plane is destroyed, what you paid for will also disappear.
The more you pay, the more important it is, and the stronger the aircraft's combat effectiveness will be.
According to the general rules of flying chess, if your own planes land on the same grid, they will merge into a team.
Fly two, or even three or four at a time.
When planes from different camps are on the same grid, with the back facing forward, the plane taking the initiative can destroy the plane in front, allowing that plane to return to the starting point and start again.
Here, some people's rule is that context is more important.
One plane sneaking up from behind can knock all four planes back home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some people think that quantity is more important, and four aircraft are the strongest.
In the Death Flight game, the most important thing is combat effectiveness.
A plane with a hair cannot beat a plane with a handful of hair.
The more you pay, the stronger the aircraft's combat effectiveness will be, and the more advantage you will have in this game.
But the more important you give, if the plane that represents what you gave is destroyed, you will also lose that thing.
If you sacrifice your heart, you will die.
That's why it's called Death Flight Game.
"If the plane is destroyed, it will disappear and will not reappear at the starting point camp. If you want a new plane, you must sacrifice a part of your body. To reach the end and win, four planes are the bottom line." The steward continued to explain the rules.
This prevents someone from simply abandoning three of the aircraft and relying on one powerful aircraft to try and take advantage.
"The destruction of all the planes actually means the death of people, right?" Wentai asked.
"Yes."
The butler smiled.
If people are not dead, they can make massive airplanes with just their hair.
Only when people die and no new planes appear can the second way of completing the test be satisfied.
Of course, taking the first way, taking four planes to the finish line, is also a way to complete it.
This can be done with four strands of hair.
It doesn't matter if it is destroyed, you can keep starting over from the beginning until you become bald.
The rules are not very friendly to bald people.
"Do you understand the rules? If you have any questions, please speak up now. Once the game starts, the rules are absolute and cannot be violated." The butler gave the final reminder.
"have."
Kong said seriously, "Different people, with the same 'effort', will their combat effectiveness be the same?"
"Yes."
The steward affirmed, "Combat effectiveness is higher than order."
There is no discrimination, everyone's life is life and has the same value.
"Okay, then I'll-" Sora was about to "summon" his chess piece.
"Don't say it out loud," the butler reminded.
"What?"
"Only you know what each chess piece represents. Don't tell others. This is also a rule." The steward said with a smile, "The aircraft's 'combat power' will only be revealed after the battle."
This alone makes the entire game more dangerous.
It is impossible to determine the combat effectiveness of the aircraft in front and behind it, and whether it collides, so it becomes a complicated game.
But you can't hide your combat power all the time. It will be exposed after the battle, a bit like the game of military chess.
"So that's it." Sora nodded.
"You can write it down, or you can press it directly on the table and silently recite the airplane you want to create." The butler explained how to use it.
"Does the color choice matter?" Wen Tai asked.
Now Sora and Xia have chosen their seats. Sora is on a red plane, Xia is on a blue plane, and the remaining three colors are green, yellow, and white.
"No."
"good."
Wentai walked to the white seat and sat down.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table. After a moment, four round white chess pieces appeared in front of him in the starting camp.
"Hahaha! I'm coming too!" Kong followed suit excitedly.
Four chess pieces emerge, with different colors and different patterns on the chess pieces.
Wentai is an ordinary simple aircraft, and its empty plane is a flying knife.
Elena moved with heavy steps and got on the table. The pattern on the green chess piece was something similar to a flying carpet.
Seeing that everyone was on the game table, the butler also sat on the chair: "From now on, don't ask me about games."
The pattern of his chess piece is a castle.
Finally, Xia Yanzhen was left. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote something.
Afterwards, the chess pieces also appeared.
However, his chess piece has no pattern and is blank.
Let everyone else look over.
"Brother, what do you mean by this blank?" Kong asked.
"I don't know." Xia Yanzhen said.
But it is quite clear in my heart.
The appearance of the pattern somewhat reads everyone's thoughts and represents their "origin".
Nothing happened to me because my mind was not read by this dreamy castle.
"Then, the death flight game officially begins."
Following the steward's words.
A dice appears in the middle of the table, which is much larger than ordinary dice.
"The order will be determined by size," the steward said.
Kong first reached for the dice, but ended up throwing them out, which was quite embarrassing.
Soon, the order was decided.
The housekeeper is first, Xia Yanzhen is second, Wentai is third, Elena is fourth, and Kong is fifth.
