Chapter 999

Patricia Pauline ultimately failed to achieve her goal.

It doesn't really drag the duel to the next turn.

This kind of miscalculation is actually very common in duels, but the imposing appearance of the "Giant Tree Fortress" gave too many viewers the illusion that she still had the trump card.

In fact, Patricia Pauline has been completely defeated.

Regardless of luck or strength, she had already lost in this duel.

"I originally wanted to win a game before he really grew up and leave a good memory for the future, but it seems there is no other way..."

Patricia Bolin's brows immediately relaxed, and after the referee announced the winner, she said: "I didn't expect to lose. If I had known this, I should have participated in the Easter Duel Festival last semester. "

Her tone was filled with regret.

Dak felt a little ashamed.

Patricia Pauline continued: "For the sake of my miserable defeat, can you invite me to lunch?"

When Dak suddenly heard this, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

On this highly anticipated duel stage, it was certainly impossible for him to agree to an invitation to "have lunch together."

But at this moment, gray flames ignited in the corners of Patricia Pauline's eyes.

The flames were fluttering and dancing, exuding an evil aura.

Dak's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Let's talk after we get down."

Then he quickly took back the magic elves, neatly stacked the used magic cards with the deck, and prepared to step down.

On the other side, Patricia Bolin smiled slightly, packed up her deck, and quickly left the stage.

The two sides didn't say much on the contestant stage, and just left the stage.

…

After coming off the contestant stage and entering the contestant tunnel, the two of them had reunited.

"We met for the third time." Patricia Pauline waved to Dak and showed a sweet smile.

Duck quickly followed: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Patricia Pauline put her finger in front of her lips, said "Shush" and said, "Are you really not going to treat me to something to eat?"

"Let's talk business." Duck said solemnly.

Then he turned his head slightly and said, "There is my club classroom above the clock tower."

"The Society of Fantastic Beasts, right?" Patricia Bolin nodded, "Then go there."

Then the two of them walked out side by side and walked towards the spiral clock tower.

When she finally reached the tenth floor of the spiral clock tower, Patricia Bolin said with great disappointment: "I didn't catch anything..."

"What?" Dak's eyes showed confusion.

"Come into the classroom first." Patricia Bolin pointed to the door of the classroom.

Dak opened the door, and the little girls and cats who were chasing each other in the living room stopped instantly. When they saw it was Dak, they all reversed their directions at the same time and rushed towards them.

While dealing with the little cuties, Duck said to the big milk can guarding the side: "Get some refreshments."

"Moo!" Big Milk Jar patted the small apron on her body, then turned around and prepared to go.

After a while, a pot of fragrant black tea was placed on the guest table.

The big milk jug also brought a plate of cookies.

Dak poured black tea for Senior Sister Patricia, then went straight to the point and asked: "Where did your "Fire of the Underworld" come from?"

Patricia Pauline looked up at him and asked, "Where's yours?"

Dark smiled and decided to show his sincerity: "Angus Jeffrey, you should know, right?"

Patricia Bolin was slightly surprised and said: "The former president of the Noble Research Society?"

Dak nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I had a duel with him during the vacation."

Patricia Bolin suddenly understood: "So that's it, you won the duel ceremony."

Dak said calmly: "Since you even know the duel ritual, then I don't need to say more about the danger of this "Fire of the Underworld". Tell me, how did you obtain it?"

Patricia Bolin picked up the biscuit, took a small bite, and then said: "My experiences and yours are somewhat similar, but different."

"Huh?" Duck asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Patricia Bolin said: "During my vacation, I visited the Demon King's execution ceremony held by the Holy Church, and then I received a "Fire of the Underworld"... I didn't expect that you and I both had the same name. ”

Dak was noncommittal: "After all, it was leaked from the "Gate to the Underworld"."

Patricia Bolin said: "Although I don't know how that person found me, on the day after the execution ceremony, I was approached by someone who also obtained the "Fire of the Underworld". Then... …I got the second “Fire of the Underworld”!

…

[Good morning, I can only write so much today, I am exhausted. 】

[My fingers are getting more and more painful recently. 】

[Diamond and Pearl replica has not been opened for 48 hours. 】

[I started to work hard for my dream, but it didn’t seem to be going well. 】

Chapter 661 The Resurrection of the Gods

"The next day?" Dak said in surprise.

Patricia Bolin nodded slightly and said: "After being possessed by the "Fire of the Underworld", it will exude a unique aura that only the holder can perceive. Although I can't sense this in you at all. , But it was indeed the case at that time. As soon as the man got close, he and I felt each other and had the crazy idea of ​​dueling with him. "

After Dak understood it, he said calmly: "I see, and I am not possessed."

Patricia Bolin suddenly looked surprised: "But you're not..."

Dak stretched out his hand, and gray flames came out of his palm, burning brightly.

Patricia Bolin immediately felt the unique aura of this "fire of the underworld", but she became even more surprised and asked: "How did you do it?"

Dak smiled slightly, put his five fingers together, and took the "Fire of the Underworld" into his palm: "Just make it surrender."

Patricia Bolin: "..."

Duck changed the topic and said, "What about you? How do you hide your "Fire of the Underworld"? Since you know that this aura exists, you shouldn't let it spread out, right?"

Patricia Bolin sighed, and gray flames suddenly overflowed from the corners of her eyes, flying like eye shadow.

She said: "I am quite lucky. When I was in the royal capital, I had a sage by my side."

"Sage?" Dak suddenly said, "Are you also from Sainz?"

"Yes." Patricia Bolin smiled, "Yes, Sainz, the city of knowledge, is the place where I was born. During the holidays, I took the Sage Group's car.

Thanks to them, I was not possessed by this "fire of the underworld". Now, it is maintained in a relatively stable symbiotic state. Sages say this is not a bad thing. "

Sainz is really rich in sages...

Dak sighed a little: "If you can perfectly control the "Fire of the Underworld", it will indeed be a useful prop. We can even regard it as a special magic spell."

Patricia Bolin nodded and said: "The "Fire of the Underworld" will only stimulate people's desire to duel, but will not devour a person's self. Even if he is defeated in the duel ceremony, he will only be deprived of it." Related memories, and a small number of duel-related abilities. This punishment is really not enough in the face of those truly vicious spells."

Duck nodded and said, "That's true on the surface."

Patricia Bolin solemnly said: "It seems that you have also seen it. The sages unanimously believe that the real danger of "Fire of the Underworld" does not lie in the functions it appears on the surface.

Taking my personal experience as an example, if all holders of "Fire of the Underworld" can sense each other and devour each other's "Fire of the Underworld" after winning the duel, then it can be understood that the "Fire of the Underworld" originates from There is a tendency towards uniformity in the upper band.

If allowed to develop, they will rely on this property to eventually merge into a huge collection from scattered individuals. And this collective is where the real danger lies! "

Dak couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this.

What he was worried about before was actually the poisonous nature of "Fire of the Underworld" and the social chaos caused by this nature.

Although the form of expression is the same, the overall understanding is subtly different from Patricia Bolin's.

But at this time, he was deducing in Patricia Bolin's way of thinking, and combined with the discoveries so far, he suddenly realized some problems.

His tone gradually became serious: "You mean... there is a subject's consciousness that is leading the gathering of these "fires of the underworld"? Their final gathering will awaken this subject's consciousness?"

Patricia Bolin looked up at him and said after a moment: "Sages believe that the opening of the door to the underworld ultimately caused all this. There is a powerful consciousness wandering in the underworld trying to sneak in through this method. Come to the human world and complete the reversal from death to life, and the existence that can do this is usually called...god!"

Dak couldn't help but his eyes flashed: "What should we call the god who returned from the underworld?"

Patricia Bolin said: "Usually we call this type of god Hades."

"The God of the Underworld?" Dak said, "Humanity has just struggled out of a long and fierce battle with the demons, but it is now facing the threat of the God of the Underworld. The world is really unable to calm down."

Patricia Bolin sipped her black tea and sighed: "When I read through history, Ragnarok seems to be right in front of me, but what I see now is that the gods seem to be unwilling to be lonely, and I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Dark said: "Learning from history, whenever a god shows signs of recovery, there will be a second one, and then a third one... This is a general trend, and it cannot be solved by human power."

Patricia Bolin said: "The sages have the same idea as you, and they have started preparing a few months ago."

But Dark changed the topic and said: "So, have the sages ever thought about how to prevent the resurrection of the first God of Hades?"

Patricia Bolin said with a little helplessness: "That must have been thought of. On the surface, the simplest way is to prevent the fusion of these "fires of the underworld".

But in fact we don't know how much "fire of the underworld" this god needs to revive.

one third? One half? Or 100%? We don't even know how much "Fire of Hades" escaped. "

Dak pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, the strategy of actively collecting "Fire of the Underworld" becomes less feasible."

Patricia Bolin said: "It is not a bad thing to hold a small amount of "Fire of the Underworld". If you are lucky in the future, you may be able to become the human agent of "The God of Hades".

I mean if the "God of Hell" shows goodwill. But if you hold a large amount and unfortunately become the carrier of the "God of Hell"'s revival, then I'm afraid you will be completely hopeless. "

Dak nodded and said, "That's right. Then, when you came here, why did you deliberately leak the breath of the "Fire of the Underworld"? "

Patricia Bolin's eyes focused and whispered, "In fact, I sensed some breath of the "Fire of the Underworld" at the masquerade event on Halloween Eve! But that breath flashed and I still can't find it. "

Dak said, "So, in addition to you and me, there are also holders of the "Fire of the Underworld" in the academy?"

Patricia Bolin said, "If the breath I smelled is not emitted from your "Fire of the Underworld." "

Dak was curious and said, "I didn't summon the "Fire of the Underworld" at the masquerade, but I used the "Underworld Soul Ring" in the previous duel. Why didn't you react? "

Patricia Pauline shook her head and said, "Too far away."

"I see." Dak nodded and accepted this statement.

After all, the "Underworld Soul Ring" is the product of the power of the "Underworld Fire" after the second refinement, not the "Underworld Fire" itself.

Besides, even if it is the "Underworld Fire" itself, there must be a perception range.

If it is too far away, or blocked by something, it cannot be sensed.

Assuming that there is a third person who holds the "Underworld Fire" in St. Marian College, this third person has not been discovered so far, and there must be a corresponding way to cover up his breath.

...

Dak and Patricia Pauline continued to chat for a long time, and did not separate until lunch time.

Although Dak did invite Patricia Pauline to lunch, the latter bluntly said that it was a joke before, and then left a sentence: "I don't want my good college life to turn into hell. "

She left so cleanly.

After she left, Dak thought alone.

After what happened today, Patricia Pauline might have alerted the enemy, and it would be more difficult to find the third person.

But he was not really enthusiastic about "finding this third person".

Compared with that, he was more concerned about the progress of "the resurrection of the gods".

The in-depth communication with Patricia Pauline made him more confident in his interpretation of Eudora's prophecy.

"Perhaps this process is faster than we thought..."

After careful consideration, he found that he had encountered three related events in just over a year.

First, the resurrection of the "Moon God", then the resurrection of the "God of Hades", and finally the "Heart of God" in the dungeon!

"No, it seems there is more!"

Dak suddenly remembered the temple dedicated to the Sun God and the Moon God that Suna Montilfarri had mentioned.
