The warden who guards the witches

A few minutes later.

"I don't mind staying a little longer for a war meeting..." Abigail stared at the hand-painted chessboard and carved chess pieces laid out by Aiden on the table, "Why are you playing chess?"

After forming an alliance, Aiden proposed taking the opportunity to hold a combat meeting to discuss future strategies. As soon as the two witches agreed, they saw Aiden bringing out the hand-painted chessboard and carved chess pieces and placing them on the table.

"Our alliance has just been formed, and the information we have is really limited. I guess I can't discuss the reason." Aiden arranged the chess pieces on his own, "I know no one spoke during the discussion. It would be very embarrassing for me to stare at each other, so let’s discuss it while playing chess.”

"What kind of chess is this?" Kikimora curiously picked up a chess piece.

"Horse chess. I learned it from an explorer. The chessboard is hand-painted by a draftsman, and the chess pieces are custom-made by an engraving shop." Aiden explained expressionlessly.

Said to be horse racing chess, it is actually the same board and rules of flying chess, but the appearance of the chess pieces has changed - this was specially modified by Aiden, because there are no airplanes in this world, and the only manned aircraft that can really fly are hot air balloons and Aiden simply replaced the witch's enchanted broomstick and magic carpet with horses, and the chess piece style was based on the chess knight piece.

Melifilia could understand the concept of "airplane" in Ludo. When the conspiracy goddess pulled his soul into this world, she seemed to have taken the opportunity to peek into some knowledge of another world.

"If you have to play chess, why not play trick chess?" Kikimora suddenly suggested.

"That one is too niche." Aiden retorted, "Only you wizards and black magic enthusiasts among ordinary people can play it. Believe me, this game is quite interesting and it is very popular in prisons. Dai Li also likes it.”

This world also has some chess and card games, but they are not as colorful as Aiden's original world. Aiden added some simple chess and cards to the entertainment items in the prison activity room.

"Can prisoners in your prison still play chess?" Kikimora showed a slightly surprised look.

"They have five working days a week, one study day and one rest day. Some appropriate recreational activities must be arranged on the rest days to make them more honest. Not everyone likes to read, not to mention the illiteracy rate of prisoners is quite high. "Aiden explained calmly, "Management that is too repressive will cause more problems and increase management costs."

"You are quite tolerant of your enemies." Abigail commented.

"Enemies? You seem to have some misunderstanding about prison guards. For us, prisoners are never enemies, just work targets." Aiden looked back and forth at Abigail and Kiki Mora, "Our job is only to execute punishment and manage Prisoners, reform prisoners. If the prisoners cooperate, there will be no conflict between us. How can there be any hostility? Unless the prisoners actively break the rules in the prison, there is no need to punish the prisoners. "

"That's a good idea. No wonder Dai Li and the others were bribed by you to be so obedient." Qiqimora smiled, "Isn't your prison more comfortable than the outside?"

"The prison has lost its meaning when criminals live such a comfortable life. Prisons are disciplinary facilities. If you have to report yourself to the toilet outside the cell, how can you compare to a life of a free person?" Eden said, "It's just that some criminals are outside. Being hunted everywhere is not necessarily more comfortable than being in jail.”

"To be honest, I don't really like playing chess," Abigail said.

"It's not that you don't like it, it's just that you live alone and no one plays chess with you." Kikimora said, "The last time I saw you out like this was eight years ago."

"It was twelve years ago." Abigail corrected, "Kikimora, you also live alone. Do you often play chess and cards?"

"To be honest, I also think this kind of entertainment is a bit of a waste of time." Chichimola said, "But since the host proposed it, the guests should just follow the customs."

"You won't lose any muscle if you try a multiplayer game." Aiden picked up the dice and persuaded, "The rules are very simple. Can I explain them first?"

"Then I will accompany you for a while." Abigail sighed softly, "The discussion is almost over, I will leave first."

…

Ten minutes later.

"Welcome home, Mr. Warden." With a smile on her lips, Abigail used her own chess pieces to eat Aiden's chess pieces, and then put the chess pieces back to Aiden's "base".

"Seriously, what's wrong with you, Abigail? You have three chess pieces that you can move, and one of them can go all the way. Why do you want to mess with my only chess piece?" Aiden stared at Abigail and asked.

"You have to know that killing others always gives people a special pleasure. This pleasure cannot be replaced by other things." Abigail replied.

"Aren't you quite devoted to the game?" Aiden complained.

Then Tony reached for the dice.

"It's my turn." Kikimora reminded loudly.

"Ah, sorry!" Tony retracted his hand.

"You two may need to increase your presence, you often accidentally ignore your turns." Abigail said.

"Come on, the chess pieces are obviously on the table!" Kikimora retorted, "This game is surprisingly interesting. I haven't played a game other than trick chess for many years. Abigail "Hey, can't you get a set of chess and cards at the party so we can play together?"

"We usually just use projection, which can't touch the chess pieces." Abigail replied.

"But there is a way. Let Vera make a few puppets and put them at your place to move the chess pieces on our behalf?" Kikimora suggested.

"Then it would be better for me to directly "give life" to the chess pieces, and then tame them to move according to orders." Abigail said.

"That's possible." Kikimora said.

"That..." Tony raised his hand timidly, "We should have a discussion meeting."

The scene fell into silence for a while.

Not long after starting to play this game, the two witches were inexplicably trapped in it. From the beginning of introducing the rules to now, their combat meeting has not even started.

Then Aiden coughed and broke the silence: "It's really time to talk about business. Ladies, playing with things will ruin your ambition."

"The person who took the lead in playing this is not qualified to say this." Kikimora complained calmly.

"We have to do things step by step. For now, we can only deal with Mr. Bloody Clothes to complete the promotion ceremony for the warden." Abigail went straight to the point to cover up her embarrassment. "But we really don't have any information about this person. Please start by sharing the information."
