Empress Yekana's banquet had ended not long ago. Josiah was once again honored to be chosen by the Empress … He stayed alone in the Iron Nation Embassy to play Go with the Empress.
"I'm just a businessman … Forget it, I probably can't even be considered a businessman. I'm just a programmer who makes games to entertain the public."
Two black and white Go pieces rotated between Josiah's fingers. After a brief contemplation, Josiah picked up the black piece and placed it on the chessboard in front of him.
"Programmer? Is that what you, the creator of the Magic Net, call yourself? Josiah Yanorod, I've investigated you … You're very strange. "
Empress Yekana took a few seconds to pick up the white piece and placed it next to Josiah's black piece, sealing off Josiah's retreat.
The Empress of Iron Nation was actually a Go master! Josiah didn't know when she came into contact with this ancient game.
As far as Josiah knew, Go was currently only popular in the Hearthstone Tavern and the group of spellcasters of the older generation in the Spellcaster Association.
How did the Empress get the Go board … If Josiah remembered correctly, the general stationed in the Iron Nation Embassy would go to the Hearthstone Tavern to play a few games if he had nothing to do.
"Is it strange?"
Josiah's speed was not as fast as Empress Yekana's. After all, Josiah's Go level was the best amateur among amateurs.
"You're the third prince of the Demon Realm, but your temperament is incompatible with a Chaos Demon." Empress Yekana stared at Josiah and said.
"Maybe it's because I've been in Noland for too long?"
Josiah pondered for a while, found the black piece's landing point, and barely broke out of Empress Yekana's encirclement.
"Your temperament is also completely different from the humans in Noland, or … completely different from the humans in this world."
Empress Yekana's next piece directly pushed Josiah into a desperate situation.
"Did I?" Josiah sniffed himself. "Don't tell me you smell something salty on me too?"
"Salty?"
When Empress Yekana was thinking about Josiah's next move, she was a little stunned by Josiah's words.
"I don't really understand either. The people I meet all say that I'm a bit decadent like a sun-dried fish."
Josiah said self-deprecatingly as he placed down another black piece, preparing to break out of the encirclement once again.
"Decadent?" Empress Yekana heard the description of Josiah and chuckled, "I don't think what they see in you is decadence, but … indifference to the world."
Empress Yekana's words and the fall of her white piece had completely announced the black piece's death. Josiah looked around for a while and could only raise his hands to surrender.
"Ms. Yekana, to tell you the truth … I may have saved the world several times without you knowing."
Josiah counted the World Tree that he had cultivated. If those World Trees withered as the Court of Heresy wished, the world would have fallen into chaos.
"Really?"
The servant next to Empress Yekana wanted to come forward and tidy up the pieces on the Go into the box, but was stopped by a gesture from Empress Yekana.
She personally picked up the black pieces on the chessboard one by one with her hands. Josiah also understood what the Empress meant and began to pick up the white pieces on the chessboard.
"You are very weak at playing this game called Go." Empress Yekana put the black pieces into the box one by one and said, "But the information I know is … you are the creator of this game."
"Does the creator have to be very strong to play his own game? And, Ms. Yekana, are you so sure that I am the creator? "Josiah said.
"Do you tacitly agree with my guess about your past identity? A … visitor from a foreign land? "
Empress Yekana had put all the black pieces into the wooden box next to her.
Josiah did not speak but clapped twice, which meant that he was praising the Empress.
But she could guess it with so much information. Although it made Josiah a little surprised, it was still reasonable.
Unfortunately, even if she guessed the true identity of Josiah … it was of no use at all.
"Then, Ms. Yekana, what do you want to do … Do you want to expel me as an intruder?" Josiah asked.
"Expel?" A smile appeared on Empress Yekana's face again. "If it wasn't that I don't believe in God, maybe I would regard you as the messenger of God."
"Wait a minute, this topic is jumping a little too fast."
"There is no jump. You have brought countless miracles to this world." Empress Yekana was not stingy with her praise. "The magic net is a miracle that even God can't create, and there are movies and these games …"
Empress Yekana grabbed the black pieces in the wooden box at hand.
"Everything you have created has added a new color to this world! If I were to go back to the Nation of Steel a year ago, I would definitely feel bored. "
Wait a minute! Josiah remembered that the Empress should not have been infected with Internet addiction, but now it seemed that she was hiding something.
"I don't know how to answer this series of compliments," Josiah said.
"You don't need to answer because your existence has always been a huge regret for me." Empress Yekana placed two black pieces on the chessboard.
"What regret?" Josiah could only take out two white pieces and placed them on the other side of the chessboard.
"You are a person from the Demon Kingdom, and you are also the Prince of the Demon Kingdom." Empress Yekana said this and sighed a little. "It would be perfect if you were a person from the Nation of Steel. Then I can let you write some stories that I like."
Wait a minute! So, she said so much just to urge me to update?
Josiah's hand that was holding the chess piece had stopped in mid-air, and he did not dare to continue to place it.
"But it's not too late, Josiah Yanorod."
"Allow me to refuse."
Josiah directly interrupted the Empress' words. In that instant, Josiah already had goosebumps from the desire in Empress Yekana's eyes.
"It's late today. I'm sorry that I can't play the second game with you."
Josiah immediately stood up from his seat cleverly, but Empress Yekana's favor could be used for many things.
"But we can cooperate. The Demon Kingdom is willing to cooperate with the Nation of Steel, and … I have a project that also needs the Nation of Steel's outstanding technology of forging magic machinery." Josiah threw the white piece in his hand onto the chessboard, and the white piece landed accurately in the center of the chessboard.
