Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 305 The Goddess Should Be Well

Incidentally, this advancement came somewhat suddenly yet naturally. On the day he finally put his series of conjectures and plans about modifying chess pieces into practice, the mage suddenly realized during meditation that his accumulated knowledge in the spellcasting and transformation systems had pushed him to a critical point.

The once untouchable depths of the magic network now seem like a dilapidated house right in front of him; with just a light kick, the whole house would collapse.

The mage kicked out without hesitation!
Fortunately, the winters in Luskan are not as harsh as those in Moscow, and the mysterious lady's mysterious veil seems to be much easier to tear than the Russians' leather defenses.

That was certainly true for him, at least. As for what other spellcasters who had wasted their lives might think, that was none of his business.

Having taken this step, Zhang Yuan has gone further and further down the path of arcane magic, and with it comes a corresponding increase in the power he can control.

This power is a newly learned spell, a further mastery of spell principles and super magic techniques, and also the finally debuting level 5 piece—an orange card summon!

And finally, the Samsung pieces have arrived!
Their arrival also gave the monks the confidence to carry out this plan.

"Lily, I'll leave the spell circuits over there to you. Just draw them according to this diagram."

“Okay, Chanem.”

"It's all thanks to you, otherwise these complicated things would have taken forever. It's a pity Lina can't come, otherwise this would have been much simpler."

"Heh, I've only been here a few days and you're already thinking about your sister? Chanem, you're really greedy."

Her laughter and words were captivating, her gaze radiant.

The owner of the voice had a face that looked as if it were carved from flawless mutton-fat jade. The mage was no stranger to her; she was the only level one mage chess piece, the Crystal Maiden.

However, the Ice Maiden, now at the pinnacle of three stars, no longer had any of the previous naivety or dullness in her eyes. Her delicate, large eyes sparkled, containing an indescribable intelligence and endless charm.

Similarly, the Ice Maiden Lyra was no longer the Cinderella in her simple robes. Her top-tier attire, crafted from artifacts and a series of immortal and legendary trinkets, made her look as beautiful and noble as an ice queen.

The snow-covered fur coat she wore seemed to be woven from sapphire and mithril threads. As it moved, it resembled azure waves rolling up snow, and the intense fluctuations and spiritual light it emitted indicated that it was far more than just an ornament.

Following the principle that the better the equipment, the less it covers, Crystal Maiden finally freed her long, beautiful legs. It's unknown whether these ivory-white legs possessed any enchanting magic, but the gaze of a certain unscrupulous mage would always drift over unintentionally.

With the glacier crown on his head and the golden orchid scepter in his hand, one could easily believe he was either a chosen one of Euryl or a descendant of a god.

Lily's beauty and aloof temperament were enough to seduce most male creatures.

Then it arouses even stronger impulses in them.

Mystery's ultimate move is nothing compared to this black hole; this is the real black hole, capable of attracting all the scattered gazes and attention of those who see it.

Of course, Master Zhang is not the kind of superficial person who only looks at appearances.

When he first summoned the three-star Ice Maiden that day, he tried to communicate with her and found that his chess piece was no longer a simple combat unit. Lily's speech and logical thinking were no different from those of an ordinary person.

"Your Excellency has finally reached this point; you haven't kept us waiting long, have you?"

"You're referring to me as the manager, but who are you? And how did you come to the world of Toril?"

The mage, who had long wanted to understand the inner workings and origins of his cheat ability, bombarded him with a series of questions. "Manager,"

"Just call me Chanem, Lily."

"Yes, Chanem, you should have already guessed that with each leap in the position of a chess piece, the power and thinking it can bear will also rise to a new level."

"Your power and your mind? You are the prototypes of the chess pieces?"

"That's right, it's us, the so-called heroes of Kaguya's world, the participants in the endless war, a group of pitiful, eternal prisoners!"

"prisoner?"

The mage found it hard to believe. If the opponent was indeed the prototype of the chess pieces, the Dota heroes, then who could imprison them?
If you're talking about Phantom Lancers or Troll Warlords who spearfish and hunt, that's one thing. But the backgrounds of beings like Enigma, Keeper of the Light, Faceless Void, Io, and the Elder Titans are all incredibly powerful. Imprisoning these big shots?
Could it be that AiOAO sneaked into Kaguya's world and took matters into his own hands?

After expressing her doubts, the Ice Maiden, who had been somewhat melancholy, burst into laughter, her gravitational waves amplifying dramatically, even captivating the gaze of the Grand Master within the escape zone.

"Did these ridiculous background facts get passed around and become accepted as fact by those bored bards and busybodies?"

"You mean, this is all fake?"

"Not all of them, but there's a lot of water in them."

Lily wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye and said with a smile, "Take that mystery for example. The thing about a supernova explosion, the star falling, and then the mystery being born—these things are true, they did happen, but what's the connection between them?"

"This guy's background is just that of a Shadow Elemental Lord. He is indeed powerful, but to use astronomical phenomena to glorify himself is really shameless."

"Ah this?"

"And then there's that old ice pop, Calder. Didn't he just freeze himself underground in the snowfield to escape a disaster? And when he woke up, he gave himself the title of 'Witness to the End of All Things,' really..."

Zhang Yuan was speechless. This is acceptable?
"In short, the advertisement is for reference only, and everything should be based on actual combat."

Lily summarized it in one sentence, and then enthusiastically started talking about some gossip. Perhaps because she had been holding it in for so long, the seemingly aloof Ice Maiden was surprisingly talkative:

"What's interesting is that in these legendary stories and so-called epics, the ones who get the most praise are actually the support characters. Do you know why?"

"I really don't know."

"It's actually very simple. Think about it, those heroes who excel in combat are busy fighting and battling every day. Where would they find so much time to fabricate and embellish their backgrounds and resumes?"

"It's these support players who have nothing better to do than gather together and brag after providing vision and logistical support. They just let loose and exaggerate their little things to the heavens."

The Ice Maiden showed no mercy in exposing the secrets of her companions.

These lazy bums! No wonder I struggled so much when I picked the carry back then, losing points every day. It's all because of these lazy bastards.
