Chapter 269 Trial by Combat (Part 2)
"Set...you?!" Mahad looked in shock at Seth who did not defend himself, but put forward (in Mahad's view) the most unfavorable proposal to himself, [Why, Seth Te, why are you seeking death like this? Do you know that those priests of the older generation can crush you in terms of duel experience, Seth! 】
Mahad thought so. However, it was not Set, the young boy from thousands of years ago, who did all this, but Seto Kaiba - for Seto Kaiba, he was too lazy to make complaints and debates. It's just a matter of talking. He saw such rules in the laws of this world. Priests can use this method to solve mysterious cases that are generally difficult to judge.
Trial by duel is, in the final analysis, an ancient trial model in which whoever wins is justified. The history of the modern "Duel Monster" game that Kaiba is familiar with can actually be traced back to five thousand years ago, that is, it was born out of this ancient ritual. among.
The ancient Egyptians recorded this ritual in their own murals, and let Bekas, a latecomer, see it, and then the modern duel monster game appeared.
The priests who controlled powerful mythical beasts, phantom beasts, magicians and warriors in the murals once fought in this world. There were different opinions in the history of this world. Some people said that these monster totems were to emphasize the coat of arms of the family from which the priests came. Others said These totems are actually a kind of text, indicating the personalities of these priests, etc...
But Kaiba now knows that these totems once painted on ancient murals should refer to the duel monsters controlled by the priests and pharaohs at that time, and they were real elves!
And this power is also known as a symbol of the gods. In this era, people with this power have a transcendent status, and the judgment between them naturally should not use the general trial model.
What's more, the current situation of Haima does need to be dealt with seriously - breaking into the royal cemetery without permission, this kind of thing needs to be dealt with seriously no matter which dynasty in Egypt; but it is precisely because it needs to be dealt with seriously, from the perspective of people of this era Come on, there's no more serious way to do it than "Let God be the judge."
And the method of "God will judge" is trial by duel!
Looking at "Set" with a serious look on his face, the prince knew that he was not joking. He really wanted to duel with these priests who (in the prince's opinion) had exhausted their dueling experience!
"Well, this is indeed a fair way to judge." The prince nodded and looked at the four priests behind him. They held the "Millennium Eye", "Millennium Key", "Millennium Jewelry" and "Millennium" respectively. Libra"; then he looked at Mahad, who had the "Millennium Wheel of Wisdom" hanging on his chest behind him, as well as the "Thousand-Year Tin Staff" and its owner Set who were randomly discarded on the ground, and said confidently: "Very good , the holders of the Millennium Artifact are all here... Let me preside over your duel trial. I will ask for the Thousand-Year Brick tonight, and the duel will take place in three days!"
A group of priests looked at each other. Although everyone knew that the Pharaoh did not bring the "Millennium Building Blocks" before he went on the expedition - after all, the Nubians could not let the Pharaoh use the artifact. The priests who accompanied the army could solve almost all situations, and those who accompanied the army went on the expedition. Lord Simon is also a veteran priest, and was even the previous holder of the "Millennium Key" - but unexpectedly, the Pharaoh actually gave the prince the power to use the "Millennium Building Blocks" that originally belonged only to the king.
And since the prince invited the "Millennium Building Blocks", it means that he will maintain absolute fairness in the subsequent trial!
"Is there anyone willing to serve as a volunteer to conduct this duel trial with Seth?" Seth must have participated by himself. After all, he is the one who initiated the trial. "God will judge Seth's actions fairly whether they are good or evil. , is there any need for punishment? Of course, as Seth is the holder of the 'Thousand-Year Tin Staff', his opponent must also be the holder of the Thousand-Year Artifact!"
Xia Da took a serious step forward. At this time, his loyalty to the Wang family made him want to stand up for this duel without hesitation: "I..."
"I'll do it." However, another somewhat old voice came from the side. Shada frowned, only to find that it was the oldest high priest among the priests, Aknadi! Is he planning to take action personally?
"I will fight against Seth as an opponent, and then, in order to let God witness whether all this is true, I will use my full strength." Akhnadi said lightly, but there was a hint of something in his tone. Ruowu's pressure made it impossible for anyone to ignore his opinion. This pressure forced Seth to let the other side know that he must use all his strength to win against him, "Sett, since it is the duel trial you proposed, Then please prepare your slate and four followers in the past few days, and let’s have a duel here in three days!”
After Akhnadi said these words, he bowed to the prince, and then left with the priests without looking back; only Isis looked at Kaiba with a worried look, and then He bowed slightly before leaving. Then the prince left because he wanted to go back and ask for the "Millennium Building Blocks". The archers naturally obeyed the order and evacuated, leaving only Set and Mahad and Mana, who stayed specially to wait for Set.
"Set!" Mahad angrily scolded Seth: "What's going on with you? How could you make such a proposal? Trial by duel?! Do you know how much duel experience those veteran priests have? ? They basically have a duel every few weeks, and the person you are dueling with this time, Mr. Aknadi, is dueling every week during the busiest period!"
"Hahahahahahaha!!" Haima's sudden laughter interrupted Mahad's words, and then when the other party was stunned for a moment, Haima raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Don't worry Mahad, let me tell you. , this is the most favorable condition for me - I have beaten more duellists to death than they know."
once a week? This frequency is too low for a seahorse! Even the lowest-level contestants in Duel City cannot keep up with anyone in this world in terms of "practice"!
So Kaiba dared to say that - including practice matches and deck grinding, the number of duelists beaten to death by Seto Kaiba was probably more than the number of people these ancient priests knew! It is true that these priests are much older than Kaiba in terms of age, but if calculated in terms of duel length? Sorry, everyone here has to call him Uncle Kaiba!
only……
"By the way, Mahad..." However, what troubled Kaiba at this time was another question, which was the last sentence left by Aknadi: "Tell me, what happened to that... follower and the slate?" What's the matter?"
Mahad: "..."
