Chapter 251 Chess Grandmaster?
Vidayas scientists discovered aluminum, sulfur, and copper and developed theories in aerodynamics and natural evolution.
In this backward world, the nation continues to be at the scientific and technological fore. And Brick Norty actually lived in Vidayas country!
Fein's eyes almost pop out of their socket. 'That damn bastard wasn't from our country!?'
The Vidayas country is home to some of the top universities in the world, including Bromatire, Bridgenet, and Imperial College Seres.
Lastly, the president of the Vidayas is known as the strongest spear user and the most talented when it comes to chess! A chess grandmaster. Also, the undisputable top five in the official S-rank list!
Jake Vargas has held the No. 1 position in the LITE world chess rankings since July 16041 and trails only Shawn Ashley in time spent as the highest-rated player in the world. His peak rating of 3513 is the highest in history. He also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at the elite level in classical chess.
'Interesting.' Fein flipped to the next as his interest continued to grow stronger.
The next page is the details of the relationship between the countries. The five major countries had fought side by side with each other to defend the lands of the south against the greedy tentacles of foreigners such as the Domineering North and some greedy countries in the West.
Although there would be some occasional conflict within each country, it would only be counted as minor, and they always settle it in a fair manner which also made the Xeno Great Alliance one of the solid alliances to exist that has a long founding age of three thousand years!
The five major countries have harmonious and thriving trading relations with each other. Even in the times of Great Wars where alliances didn't exist, the countries had already had a history of helping each other out and the present leaders of each country are actually comrades that fought in life-and-death battles and they are all S-rank degu users!
Fein only closed the book in his hand after he got to the last page. Then he closed his eyes for a long time to digest all the information he got and tried to gradually digest them in his mind. Now, he can finally say that he has a good understanding of the five major countries that made up the 'Xeno Great Alliance'.
He got a good understanding of the different customs, systems, and cultures of each country, and he wasn't as clueless as before. He also got to know the values of each country.
As for the Great Wars, he had already read about them, as the details about the wars could be read in the Vladimir Family's Secret Library. There are Three Great Wars, which involve the North, West, South, East, and Central Plains. But let's talk about that at another time.
Fein finally opened his eyes and looked at the people doing their own business. He saw his captain frowning at the table while looking at a paper in his hands. Then his eyes darted from Anthony, who was talking with the Big Three with enthusiasm. He knew that Anthony has great social skills, and umm how to say it... He's pretty manipulative but he wasn't aware of it himself.
"I'm done reading. The book your grandfather wrote is good. He knows the ins and outs and the important characteristics of the country." He stored the book on his system, stood up from his seat, and stretched a little.
"I'm glad you like it." A bright smile appeared on Azazel's face and he felt proud when he sees someone he looks up actually praise his grandfather. "Actually, that's the only legacy of my grandfather. He also has some information regarding the other countries in the North, but the book was banned because the countries in the North saw some information that shouldn't written." He smiled sadly.
"I'm sorry to hear that." He patted Azazel on the shoulder and said. "I guess those countries in the North are also the reason for your grandfather's death?" Fein could guess this because he saw the hatred flash in Azazel's eyes even though it just appeared for a second, plus the melancholy on his face had supported this.
Azazel didn't speak and just clenched his fist tightly and it started to bleed. Kate touched Azazel's fist and shook her head at him.
Seeing this, Fein knew that Eli Gonzi or Azazel's grandfather's death was really related to the North.
Azazel inhaled deeply, closed his eyes for a second, and opened them again. Then he gradually manages to calm down the raging emotions in his heart. He turned his head to Fein and apologized. "I'm sorry for my unsightly display just now. They tortured my father and forced him to burn the remaining records left regarding the taboo information he had. And he did what they want without fighting back, but they still killed him in the end." He gritted his teeth as he felt his emotions squeeze his heart and a heavy feeling appeared that almost suffocates him.
'Such an unfortunate demise.' Fein felt a bit of regret, and he also felt pity for such a knowledgeable scholar who was wronged. After all, he could feel the passion of the writer of the book, and his sentiments while reading page after page.
"Well, calm down first. Then tell me about your father and his enemies."
Kiba and Kate just stayed silent on Azazel's side with a worried expressions. They knew that Azazel's reason why he wants to become stronger was to avenge his wronged grandfather and let all the people involved die miserably. They knew that behind the surface of their friends that look mature and stable, but beneath is a heart full of hatred and desire for vengeance.
Because Eli Gonzi has a lot of influence on Azazel, he's the one who stood as a father and mother in Azazel's life since his parent both died when he was a child.
