But nothing further happened. The sensation of having a thorn at his back remained constant, as though the slightest movement might turn his body into a pincushion.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Tang Tianlin's forehead... Wali had said that as long as he successfully left the Chessboard, he would retain the corresponding power from within it—but Old Tang felt none of the richness he had possessed in the Chessboard, where he had commanded countless Hearts of Sanctuary and had so many skills that he hardly knew which one to use.
Poor!
He would never believe that it was because his original physical attributes were higher than when he had been a Servant in the Chessboard—not even if he were beaten to death. Could it be because of his left hand?
But he was more inclined to believe it was because the Chessboard's core had been destroyed in the end, wiping out the rewards that should have appeared.
In any case, the situation was terrible... and he still had no idea what Gongsun Erniang would ultimately do to him.
Fortunately, after Gongsun Erniang locked onto him with her invisible Sword Light, she seemed to stop paying attention to him... for the time being?
At that moment, after looking Gongsun Erniang up and down, Nan Xiaonan asked curiously, "Were you the first person to discover the Chessboard?"
Gongsun Erniang shook her head. "You can't put it that way. You can only say that I was the first person to enter as a Servant... As for whether the Chessboard had fallen into someone's hands before that, and why the start of the game wasn't triggered, I have no idea... Perhaps its damaged core had remained in a state of chaos, and it just happened to restart when I arrived."
