Fashen live room

Chapter 148 Billy
In front of him was a butler with elegant steps, and beside him was the short man Derrick. Norman walked on the clean slate floor, passing through the halls and halls, looking around.

This is Count Billy's residence.

Norman felt that what Lancelot said was very reasonable, so he continued to replace Allen's identity in front of Derrick, and after that, Derrick asked him to come to see Count Billy together, after all, he is Count Billy's followers, but they haven't seen Count Billy's face yet, it's really shameful.

It's just that the place where Earl Billy lives makes Norman feel a little shabby, but there is a three-story stone house in the west of Nicaro, which is far from the palace of Duke Lake, and there are few servants. , Norman and the others came in all the way until now, only seeing a servant at the gate and a housekeeper—of course, this is not a big house and can't accommodate too many servants.

Is this the home of an earl?
Norman was deeply puzzled, and the idea of ​​hugging his thigh was a little shaken in his heart.

Following the butler, they went up to the second floor and came to a door. The three of them stood still. The butler knocked on the door. After getting the permission from inside, he pushed the door open and led them in.

"My lord, your guest is here."

The elegant butler said this to the people inside.

And Norman also saw the situation inside.

This is a study room. The spacious room has a window on the south side. The window is being opened at this moment, and the gorgeous sunlight is squeezing in from the outside, illuminating the room thoroughly.

There is a desk in the center of the study, and there are several large bookcases behind it, reaching to the ceiling. There are not many books in it, and some are scattered here and there.

At the southern end of the study room, there are several sofas and a coffee table, and there are two people sitting there, with their heads down, fiddling with something.

These were the only two living people in the room.

"My lord, your guest is here."

The housekeeper yelled at that side again, and only one person raised his hand and said, "Got it, go down."

So the butler resigned, left the room, and even helped them close the door.

After the butler withdrew, Derrick took a step forward and said to the two people over there: "Master Earl, the person chosen by Master Bella is here, and I will bring him to see you."

The person who raised his hand to dismiss the butler just now raised his hand again and waved, "Wait a minute, this game is coming to an end."

Derrick heard the words, hesitant to speak, opened his mouth, and finally closed it, standing still obediently, while Norman looked at the man who should be Count Billy, but The other party lowered his head, and he still couldn't see the other party's face, so he had no choice but to give up, and then stretched his neck to look at the coffee table between the two, wanting to see what they were doing.

Because the side is next to the window, the sunlight is just right, so he can see clearly. He can see a wooden plate on the tea table between the two of them. There are black and white grids on the wooden plate, densely packed, and there are messy patterns on it. There are many things that look like wood carvings, weird and weird, and I don't know what they are.

In the end it was Lancelot who answered his doubts.

"It's chess, a kind of recreational activity used to pass the time. People simulate the two sides of the war on the chessboard. After formulating good rules, they use chess pieces instead of troops to fight each other, and finally decide the winner within the rules. an intellectual confrontation."

It sounds interesting.

Norman continued to look into the distance, but after looking at it for a while, he couldn't quite understand it.In the end, only Earl Billy was seen holding a chess piece in his hand and pushing it forward, picking up the opponent's chess piece and putting it aside.

"you lose."

Count Billy said so, then stood up from his seat, and walked in front of Norman and the others.It was also at this time that Norman finally got a clear look at Count Billy.

This is a young man in his twenties, with fair skin, heavy dark circles under his eyes, a lack of energy, and a thin body.The clothes on his body are very gorgeous, exquisite and complicated, and this is the most worthy of his earl status in the entire earl's mansion.

"Derrick, what's the matter?"

In just such a short time, Count Billy forgot what the short man Derrick said just now.

Derrick said it again: "Master Earl, this is the person chosen by Mage Bella, and I will bring him to see you."

Earl Billy's eyes shifted to Norman at this moment, he glanced at him casually, nodded, and said, "Okay, I see, is there anything else?" He looked impatient.

Derrick seemed to be unable to see it, and continued: "He is a freshman in Mannheim this year. He obtained the qualification of a one-star black-robed mage as soon as he entered school, and even made some old students feel embarrassed during the freshman training. Now He is also well-known in Mannheim. He will accompany you to attend this dinner, I believe it will be..."

Norman listened, and felt that something was wrong: Didn't it be agreed that he would hug the earl's thigh?Why now, listening to Derrick's words, it seems that he came to wave the flag for the Earl?

Earl Billy listened to Derrick's words, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and murmured several times, "Okay, I see."

A look to see off guests.

Derrick had no choice but bowed and said, "Then we're leaving." He was about to take Norman away, but Norman suddenly spoke.

"Master Earl, you actually couldn't win just now."

This sound attracted the attention of the three people in the room.

Count Billy asked, "You can also play chess?" A look of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

This is also the first time he has not shown any impatience facing the two of them so far.

Norman nodded with an inscrutable look, "Yes, I will."

In fact, he knows how to use a hammer, and Lancelot asked him to do it all, saying that this is a good opportunity for him to show himself, so let him hurry up.

Earl Billy was not interested in what Derrick said, but he was very interested in playing chess.

After hearing Norman say that he couldn't win just now, he immediately refused to accept it, pulled Norman to the side of the sofa, and ordered the person before him to step aside and let Norman sit down.

"You said I couldn't win, so how would you play?"

Earl Billy was really dissatisfied, because the game started from the middle, and he was playing against the opponent. Do not believe.Unless you overthrow the whole game and start from the beginning, if you only take four or five steps back, you won't believe that you can't win if you kill him.

"How much do you need to step back and start talking?"

Norman didn't know anything about chess. Even if Billy asked him to retreat to the beginning and restart, he couldn't win, but he couldn't stand the Knights Templar behind him.

"Two steps back is enough."

Hearing Norman's words, Billy smiled.

You only need to take two steps back?

Well, he really wants to see what this guy is capable of saying such big words. It will be very enjoyable to see the embarrassing expression on the other party's face later.
