Back to the village
"I win." Shuvu said calmly, took the chess piece created by Wu Ming's magic, and directly Checkmate Riku.
"It's too cheating to let Ex-Machina play chess…" Riku sighed helplessly, looking at his dead chess pieces that couldn't rise again.
"This time it's an honest game, you have to obey the rules, Riku." Wu Ming who was sitting on the sidelines watching the match bored, said with excitement.
"Damn it, to let Ex-Machina play chess with me, there has to be a limit to cheating…" Riku muttered helplessly.
"Okay, didn't you agree with me earlier? Shuvi will join human life if she wins, you are willing to admit defeat, Riku."
"You are willing to admit defeat." Shuvi also said with a blank expression.
Sure enough, Riku got excited after seeing a long lost game of chess, then agreed to the game, and lost badly.
After all, how can the human brain be compared to a machine? Of course, there were exceptions, but not for Riku.
"Yeah~ I know, I will let Shuvi join our village, and you said before that you want to be together, so please keep an eye on her, don't let her cause trouble. ' said Riku helplessly.
Through the exchange earlier, Riku also knew the name of this Ex-Machina.
"I tried my best." Wu Ming looked at Riku with a smile and said irresponsible words.
"Hahhh~" Riku sighed helplessly, these two are not human, if they became human, they would be designated as problem children.
"Until now, I also felt that you high-ranking races were really too dominant…" Riku said inexplicably.
However, Wu Ming understood that Riku had interpreted this set of methods by Wu Ming and Shuvi.
"Although humans are weak, their spirits cannot be compared to our non-human race. I think you, the human leader, should also understand this truth."
Wu Ming's words made Riku laugh.
"Well~ that's right, then, it's almost time for us to return." After saying that, Riku started walking towards the stairs.
"Riku, I have bad news for you." Wu Ming suddenly stopped Riku.
"Hah?" Riku stopped and turned to look at Wu Ming doubtfully.
"What is it?"
"The weather outside is a bit bad." Wu Ming showed an evil smile.
Outside, countless ashes were crushing the earth like a blizzard.
Suddenly, a shadow flew out from this "blizzard".
Riku, who was fully armed, rode the locomotive creature, and Shuvi who was holding Riku and the locomotive creature flew at full speed.
"Ahhhhh!" shouted Riku.
After a few minutes, Shuvi stopped and put the half-dead Riku and the half-dead locomotive creature on the ground.
"We're here," said Shuvi softly.
"I… I can't do it anymore." Riku lay weakly on the ground and said lightly, and the locomotive creature had already passed out.
Suddenly, a black door like a black hole appeared, and a figure of Wu Ming appeared from within.
"Yo~ Riku, are you alright?" Wu Ming greeted Riku who was lying on the ground with an evil look.
"But… Damn… With such a convenient method, why did I have to be brought back by Shuvi…" Riku raised his hand and asked.
"Since this Gate only allows me to pass, so it's impossible," said Wu Ming with a smile.
Of course this statement was wrong, he just wanted to see Riku suffer to satisfy his bad taste.
When Wu Ming, Shuvi, and Riku were about to leave the elven underground laboratory, Wu Ming discovered the circumstances outside first.
According to Riku, it was a dead gray storm. As said before, ash is like rain and snow with changing weather, so it's not impossible to produce a situation similar to a "blizzard".
Although, Wu Ming, reasoning that "there is my defense technique, don't worry at all", let Shuvi directly hold Riku and his "horse" and directly fly back here.
The horse happened to be hidden by Riku and was able to avoid the dead ash storm. Keep in mind that ordinary humans will be completely corroded in a few seconds under the ash storm.
"Because of that, your technique worked quite well." Riku checked his body and there was nothing wrong with it. Not only that, his "horse" was fine too.
"Shuvi...too..." Shuvi also looked at his intact body.
By the way, although Shuvi was not afraid of the ash storm of death, the ash could still wear Shuvi's surface, so Wu Ming also arranged a layer of spells for him.
"Let's go back to the village first, Riku needs a good rest." Wu Ming looked back at Riku who was dizzy from the high-speed movement.
"You bastards! Whose fault do you think it is!" Riku roared in anger.
"This is Shuvi." Wu Ming pointed at Shuvi shamelessly.
"Well, it's Shuvi." Shuvi also nodded.
In principle, it was Shuvi who made Riku dizzy.
"I really can't win over you…"
