ALL NOVEL chapter 47
47 – Episode 47 – The Strongest Chess Player in the Fantasy World Gallery
Which race would play chess the best?
It was like imagining who would win between a Tyrannosaurus and a Triceratops.
No one knows who will win. It’s a question with no correct answer.
Nonetheless, it was a devastating force due to its inherent uncertainty.
Title) Chess, In the Honest Eyes of Dwarves
Just ponder about it
Our dwarves deal with complex engineering, tasks only possible with significant intelligence
Playing a game of chess is a breeze compared to that.
Planning moves ahead of time is easy for us!
ㄴSo did you plan on killing the pawn too?
ㄴYou guys are the ones who killed it, you bastards, hahahaha
ㄴYou jerks! Because of you guys, my seed money died!!!!
ㄴIt wasn’t us, we said!!! Why would we kill the pawn!!!
ㄴHow would we know that, of course we don’t;;;
ㄴAnyway, hahahaha, we did kill it hahahaha
ㄴThese bastards
ㄴhahahahaha, a dwarf chasing with a hammer in hand
ㄴA Dwarf’s rage hahahahaha
ㄴHow possible is it for short-legged ones to chase after us?
ㄴAnyway, it’s possible hahahaha
ㄴThey’ll probably come riding on some strange machine hahahaha
ㄴDwarf overthrow, it’s gonna be a mess
ㄴDespite all this talk about Dwarves and design, the only thing they do is hammering, so chess is pretty much a lost cause
ㄴWe play chess when we take a break from hammering?
ㄴWe make a chessboard right on the spot and play on it? hahahaha
ㄴWhy would you go to such lengths…
ㄴAren’t these guys just insane hahahaha
ㄴWhy invest your technology into something like that…
ㄴIt’s a lie ㄴㄴ
ㄴEven if they’re telling the truth, I wouldn’t believe it, you know
Title) Dwarf Chess Party Certification
(Dwarf-sized Chess Pieces.jpg)
How is it?
– Damn, it’s huge lol
– Are these guys insane?
– Why are you guys playing chess with pieces the size of your bodies?
– Bigger ones are easier to see.
– Someone my size could even play chess with these.
– Can’t we just have dwarves stand there instead of pieces?
– They say the one who plays chess stands in the king’s position.
– Why is this a reality?
– Have you lost your mind? lol
Title: I don’t know much about Dwarves
Demons ＜＜ I think they are dumbasses
– This is too obvious
– Are you good at chess during the fisticuffs battle for the Demon King? lol
– Why would demon kids play chess? lol
– The ones who don’t use their fists play well, right? Don’t underestimate
– We have a lot of smart kids too, you know?
– But if you’re too smart, you get dragged into the devil’s tower…
– Ah lol
Title: We also play chess
(Image of two demons fisticuffing.jpg)
But suddenly it’s a fisticuff
– What are these guys doing? Lol
– Lol. Fisticuffs are simpler, faster, and more convenient than chess lol
– How the hell do you fight while playing Chess?
– Asked to surrender a move, got a punch right away when told to screw it
– Lol only real men survive here lol
– The weak can’t even play chess lol
– A weakling playing chess!!!!
– If you’ve weakened, go build sandcastles or something lol
– What kind of place is Majeros…?
– (Some random raccoon gif.jpg)
– Damn uncivilized demon brats tsk tsk
– Yeah lol, these dwarves can’t live without their tools
– Yeah, they’re barbarians
– Lol, dwarf moustache lol
– This lot, they always fight whenever they meet lol
– Sometimes I think about locking demons and dwarves together in a room
– A room they can only leave if they play chess?
– That’s a bit intriguing lol
– If only one male and female of the demons and dwarves are left in the world… would they?
– This one’s a bit complicated too;;;
– What the hell are these guys talking about lol
Title) The weak dare to play chess???
(Hand-clenched muscly demon.jpg)
Come beat me before attempting to take a chess piece
– Even if this guy fights with his pinky, he’ll probably win
– Wow, this guy seems strong?
– F*ck , stop stealing pictures lol
– Who is he anyway?
– That b*stard is Maron, the 3rd in the demon hierarchy
– How the hell are we supposed to beat the 3rd strongest demon lol
– But how strong is he exactly?
– He’s a crazy monster who can easily defeat a swordmaster, but got eliminated in 30 seconds by the Demon King
– What kind of creature is the Demon King…
– What kind of being is Demon King-chan, who isn’t scared of such Demon King…
– If the Real Demon King declares a gallery murder, Demon King-chan would probably be the first to die lol
– Are we to play chess with this guy? Yeah right, immediate surrender lol
– Won’t even be able to lay a hand on a piece lol
-??: You dare to take my pawn???
ㄴ?? : Hey, surrender.
ㄴUm… alright.
ㄴㅋㅋㅋ If you argue back, you’ll be split in half.
ㄴ This is power chess ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Rather strangely, the devil tribe has many victories from timeouts and forfeiture…
ㄴ “Why do I need to move the chess piece?”
ㄴ “The real opponent is already dead by my hand.”
ㄴ Shivers intensely
ㄴ This wasn’t expected…
ㄴ Is this…chess…? The chess I know…?
ㄴ Can we really call this chess…
Title) But this is called the Strongest in Chess
Not just simply Payne who cheats in sleep and chess?
ㄴ Hmm;;; Chess Champion;; Staying indoors, only playing chess is Continent’s No.1…
ㄴ Isn’t this… just a complete bum?
ㄴ Oh well,
ㄴ The fact is not good, Galpeung-ah
ㄴ Yet, being Continent’s No.1 is pretty impressive
ㄴ It’s something to be proud of, being No.1 in the continent that way
ㄴ I guess?
ㄴ I am Continent’s No.1 at sucking my parents’ backbones dry
ㄴ Depending on how you look at it, it’s something to be proud of
ㄴ P-r-o-u-d?
ㄴ How many years have you been jobless?
ㄴ About 120 years
ㄴ Get out now!!!!!!!
ㄴ What a C#@& ㅋㅋ How could your parents keep you alive? ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ Wow, still sucking at their backbones? ㅋㅋ You’re tough, too tough
Title) What race would be best at chess
I’ve thought about it and I’ve got the answer.
Seems like they’re elves.
First off, these buggers live long.
They have that much time, should be good at it.
Well, there’s logic in your statement.
Then what are retired elves?
Oh.
Wait, are you saying it’s surprising that they can’t play chess despite living so long, netizen? I can’t agree with you, that’s harsh.
This guy is the worst.
When you see elf retirees, it doesn’t seem likely.
(Plant druid) What’s going on!!!!
Why so? Only he might be weak.
By the standard of retirees, the elves are basically hopeless.
They just passed time aimlessly. Elves.
What’s the point of living long.
Don’t underestimate elf chess, there are many masters.
I’m a working elf, it’s delicious.
The problem is the many among the senior retirees.
Senior retirees, damn funny.
LOL, another round of you elders?
I know someone and asked, and they said it’s obvious that elves are superior and the best. Why do they have to prove it? It’s known that elves are strong.
What’s so obvious about this jerk? Should I break the staff to snap them back to reality??
Are they senile?
Senility is a given.
Anyway, I’m good at it!!! Back off!!!
Are you a kid?
Oh lol
At that age, wouldn’t the brain have rotted? Can they play chess?
In reality, are there members who’ve become senile and forgotten?
Chess, can’t even play it. The legend of the elder.
Title) So, who’s the weakest species?
Dark Elves?
– What’s that about? We always play chess, don’t we?
– True, Dark Elves are rather smart.
– Skilled at magic… and very good at stabbing people in the back…
– Aren’t humans the weakest? They don’t have a strong element in chess.
– True, considering their lifespan and intelligence, they’re a bit vague.
– Is that so? LOL That seems plausible.
– Not knowing anything else, races with fallen heroes seem to be at a disadvantage.
– Why?
– What does it matter?
– Just by existing, it’s a debuff.
– LOL What the hell kind of curse is that? LOL
– Hero) ……
– Blocked LOL LOL, You won’t go far LOL
– Blocked… is dead…
– Funny as hell LOL LOL
– Never offend the hero LOL
– Oh, dear hero ㅠㅠㅠ
Title) What does it mean to play chess?
(Around .jpg of a plump cat’s paw)
We’re having a hard time setting up the pieces.
– LOL They really can’t play.
– So they’re trying since they’ve appeared on the gal.
– Kids who can do quadruped sports but can’t play chess LOL
– But they’re good if they try, right?
– You only know when you actually try it LOL
– Ultimately, isn’t it an insolvable puzzle?
– For real;;;
We won’t know whether it’s long or short until we face it.
It’s something we wouldn’t know unless we actually try it.
Yet, deep down, they were all thinking the same thing.
“Aren’t we the best?”
“The other races probably don’t amount to much, right?”
“Isn’t that right, my Queen?”
“…Yes, I suppose.”
The Elf Queen, Eris, gave a noncommittal reply and nodded.
The other races aren’t much. Whether it was true or not, she wasn’t sure.
What was certain was that there are too many in the world who play chess well.
Eris, having hit a wall at Tier 1, felt that the words of the elders were simply nonsense.
“Back in my day, when I played chess… hehehehe…”
“Our Elven game theory is advanced… it’s even recorded in ancient documents…!”
“40,000 years of Elven history proves it!”
“Do we even need to prove it…?”
“Does the Queen play chess?”
“Yes, occasionally…”
“Would you like to play a game with us, then?”
She nodded and brought the chessboard.
While giving the elders a pummeling in chess, Eris was able to de-stress.
Meanwhile, the emperor of the empire was having similar thoughts.
“Naturally, our empire is the best, isn’t it? After all, we have Duke Wizen!”
“Uh, um… I’d like to think so. But I can’t guarantee it.”
“The Duke is too modest for his skills. He can be confident.”
Even so, isn’t the continent wide and the number of talents not many?
Such thoughts came to mind, yet Duke Wizen simply nodded.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
It was impossible to contradict the emperor, who held unlimited power.
Wizen, weak and a lover of luxury, had no choice but to comply.
“Hmm…”
The emperor who was in the midst of a chess game stroked his chin.
What move should he make here, on this board?
The contemplation during the descending of the hourglass.
It did not take long.
“Your Majesty.”
Commander Ersha had quietly approached and whispered on his side.
“There is a letter from the kingdom. They say they have made contact with Judak.”
“…!”
It was unexpected.
***
After the chess fellowship with Visen Yakjak came to an end.
The emperor returned to his office.
“Hmm.”
His concern was about Judak.
It was to find a way to persuade Judak.
He had already found that it was impossible to kill or bury Judak now.
The only choice left for him was the persuasion of Judak.
It would be better to make Judak on our side with less risk than to kill Judak and take a bigger risk!
Two birds with one stone!
With the power from winning Judak over, he could put more pressure on the kingdom.
A picture of the kingdom naturally following was drawn in the emperor’s mind.
“hehehehe…”
Above all, he was confident in his persuasion skills.
‘Persuasion is as easy as eating cold rice porridge.’
The reason he was able to make the empire stronger than before.
It was because he indiscriminately brought in talents, regardless of their race.
‘Judak will be no different.’
If he shows the powerful infrastructure of the empire, offers an overwhelming consideration, and demonstrates his inclusiveness… anyone would be drawn.
Everyone has a desire to go to a superior place!
He had such a desire too.
Every race tends to have somewhere they’re vulnerable.
Everyone in the gallery already knew Judak’s weakness.
‘A woman…!’
He had already thought of a way to persuade her.
Perhaps it’s because the queen of the Osen kingdom was beautiful.
Attractive women with good figures are aplenty in this world.
Would he ever be able to resist if he were tempted by a woman?
‘Impossible!’
All he needed to do was find a reasonable cause to call him.
But if he called without a reason… he would raise suspicions. The emperor’s worry deepened.
‘Chess. Does he hate chess?’
Upon checking his game history, he has not played a single game yet.
But would he have added these games to his gallery if he had no interest?
He concluded that the chances of responding would be high if he called using chess.
Let’s start with chess.
It would be suspicious to rush in, so he planned to approach cautiously.
The emperor sent a reply to the letter.
-I am thinking of hosting a tournament to determine the strongest chess player of the continent. I need your help.
-How about having a true exchange over a game of chess?
“hehehe….”
Of course, the exchange would not be with chess, but with the eligible women prepared.
Let him be so engrossed that he won’t pull himself out!
The Emperor got an opportunity to trap him.
