A single, scruffy figure is portrayed in this room, but the bookshelf on the left side of the room is very incongruous—so neat that it makes Aldridge feel awkward.

Aldrich walked to the bookshelf and ran his fingers over the thin booklets placed in the middle. They were basically the same in size and large, just like the piano scores in his previous life. There were almost no pages, no dust, and the edges were slightly yellow. It is a performance that is often read.

He took off one of the volumes at random. The cover was rough paper, but he didn't know what it was wrapped in. It was attached to the surface of the paper and reflected light slightly, obviously it was a protective thing.

There is a small line in the lower right corner of the cover that reads:

"With Shu Huai, March 2."

Aldridge opened the cover. The first page was a grid... no, it should be a checkerboard, written with a pen.

There are 11 horizontal and vertical lines, divided into small squares. Naturally, it is the chessboard of Wagner's military chess. There are also many chess pieces inscribed with pen on it. Musketeers and more.

"It seems to be the record of Gibson's game with a man named Shu Huai."

Aldridge touched the paper that looked a little old, and was a little curious that a game has to go through many steps to decide the winner, so what's the use of recording only one moment?

Unless... it records the moment that decides the outcome!

"Yes!" Aldridge grinned and said silently to himself: "It's probably similar to Go, chess, etc. It's normal for a game of chess to be won or lost between a few pieces... If this guy named Gibson has a record The habit of playing chess, and this city is the chessboard..."

Aldrich immediately turned back a page, the same chess book, which looked almost the same as the first page, except that there was a chess piece with 'flag' written on it at the position of March 2 and Move 3!

On the next page, it is no longer a chessboard, but a small piece of text written with a pen:

"The decisive factor often comes from a clever move, a little luck...and the stupidity of the enemy! Shuhuai Misen from Duoguo is in vain as a master!"

Aldridge laughed silently, how interesting this is... When he saw that Gibson had died, Aldridge suddenly felt very strange.

Since they hold items named "Aiken", they are both privileged classes, why did the organizers allow that chubby man to kill the "hint"?

Maybe it's not to interfere with this spontaneous behavior, maybe the prompt is not only through Gibson's dictation!

Aldridge immediately put down the books in his hand and browsed through the books, mostly Gibson and others, but a dozen of them had double-name records like 'Hawke and Jared' written on the covers. Obviously these records are the games of others that Gibson watched, not his own.

Finally, Aldrich found three special records.

What caught his attention was one of them. The first few pages were mediocre records of chess games, totaling 3 pages, and the text on the last page was:

"In the letter sent by Derek, I learned that there is a very unfamiliar chess player who is challenging a well-known chess player in the whole empire. Oh, I realized that this is an arrogant guy... But I didn't expect to receive the first letter of the letter. I saw him in two weeks."

"He appeared out of my house dressed in rags, like a beggar on the street, but he left a deep impression on me, with long, slender fingers and calluses on the tips of the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Hmm...he also has great eyes, confident and firm."

"I suddenly realized that this is a worthy opponent, I left this record, although I failed... but I am not lost, on the contrary, this game for 8 hours makes me feel Quite enjoyable."

This is a very 'prominent' record, protruding for a long time.

Interestingly, this chess player, whom he recorded as 'Jefferson', has two records of playing against other people in two other books.

One of them had this sentence: "Mr. Jefferson finally lost, his challenge record finally stopped at Game 7, this thrilling journey unknown to the outside world is over, but I know he is not lost...  Instead, he was happy!"

7... Isn't this number very eye-catching!

If Aldridge guesses correctly, the location of the chess piece named 'Flag' in these 3 records is where 3 of the 'Candy House' are located, and the other 4 are hidden in 'Jefferson' 4 other matches.

This is a conjecture, but Aldridge believes that the possibility of this conjecture being correct is very high!

Unfortunately, it is estimated that Gibson has only seen two games after him, so there are 3 records in total, and the other 4 games are not here.

"I really didn't expect that the prompt would be placed here aboveboard... I don't know if the few people who met Gibson asked for this information."

Aldridge touched his chin and felt that Gibson's own match was likely to be asked, and the other two games were unlikely to be asked.

Fortunately, the verification is also very simple. Wouldn't it be good to go and have a look?

Aldrich waved his hand, and the black mist filled the air, covering the match record between Jefferson and the other two. The ‘Static Matter Black Goldization’ was turned on, and the paper was finally transformed into black gold particles, which were put into the black mist by Aldrich.

As for the copy that played against Gibson, it's better to keep it than destroy it.

On the one hand, this may be the last tip ~lightnovelpub.net~ Aldridge needs to save some soup for the others to avoid touching the organizer's nerves, on the other hand...if anyone else finds this tip too, It's good for him to be focused on the same 'candy house', isn't it?

Aldridge smiled silently and turned to leave here.

Back on the street, Aldrich unexpectedly didn't see Lena Omar, but the old man's team was still there, and there were also the group of guys who had left before without tokens, and they hurried past Aldrich. Beside him, the leader glared at Aldrich, obviously just arriving.

Strange... Elina's mind, she shouldn't be without insurance, how could she just leave without stopping?

After Aldridge came out, the old man was not in a hurry to go in at all, and let the three guys go in.

"Sir, let's talk?" Just as Aldridge turned to leave, the old man's hoarse voice sounded.

Aldridge stopped and played with his taste: "What are we talking about?"

"Talk about the 'friendship' between us, and by the way, talk about your gains in it." The old man's eyes were a little cloudy, and he looked straight at Aldridge.

"'Friendship'?" Aldridge chewed on the word and chuckled: "What 'friendship' do we have to talk about?"

The old man put his cane on the ground and said calmly, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yacha... Yacha Naples."

Aldrich pinched his fingers... It's actually his maiden's family?
