Chapter 270 Thousands of Years ago...it Was a Duel of Drawing Boards!
"You...really don't know?" Mahad looked at "Seth" in front of him with a dull face. He found it hard to understand why the other party would suddenly ask this question.
And Kaiba is now also frantically scanning his own memory - to be precise, the memory of Set's body and the memory of the ten years when Kaiba was a ghost - but it is obvious that when Kaiba was a ghost in this world, many things were completely forgotten after complaining, and he was too lazy to remember them.
So he had to nod his head in frustration. He had already vaguely realized that these things had not been explained by Aknadi, the prince, Isis and others before. Obviously, this should be a common sense issue.
Mahad also thought it was strange for Set to ask this question - it stands to reason that even if you haven't eaten pork, you should have seen pigs run. Even if Set has never dueled, he should have seen other priests duel, right? He should know what the so-called "slate" and "follower" mean, right?
However, Set has never seen a duel! It has been said before that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts, and this is also the case when being a priest. But Sett was just a commoner on the surface. To complete the study of the priest, he needed not only hard work, but also a lot of money. So every time when other priests went to watch the duel, little Sett was doing some peripheral work in the duel field to earn some money so that he could practice more.
Otherwise, his progress would not be so fast.
As for why little Sett was not curious about the duel on the opposite side, it was actually very simple: Little Sett always believed that he would duel there sooner or later, so he had to watch it sooner or later. Instead of getting excited after watching it, he might as well take this opportunity to make some money to subsidize his life and make himself closer to that day.
This should have been Sett's original destiny. When Sett had his first duel, he was already the holder of the "Millennium Staff"; but now the appearance of Seahorse forced him to contact these things in advance.
Seahorse's nod made Mahad understand more clearly that the guy in front of him really didn't know.
Mahad shook his head in annoyance, then looked at the president in front of him with a caring look, and made a gesture to let Mana, who had just returned the "Millennium Staff" to Set (wrapped in a piece of cloth, without direct contact with the artifact), hurry up and drive her carriage.
Mana complained in her heart-I am a servant that you can use at will, senior? Then her body still drove the carriage honestly.
"Then stop talking nonsense, get in the car!" After the car came, Mahad pointed to his own carriage and ordered Kaiba to get in immediately, "We will talk while we talk."
The president looked at this ancient carriage, and after feeling that he was almost recovered, he just picked up a certain witch who had been put down before and had been standing up and got on the car.
"Let's leave her to Mana first." Seeing that Kaiba was still concerned about the white-haired girl at this time, Mahad smiled knowingly and said to him. Then Kaiba nodded and handed the girl to Mana who had been waiting in the car.
"Very cute - Lord Set's girlfriend." Mana had a sly smile on her face, but while she was smiling, she was secretly glancing at Mahad who had just got on the car, and then said: "Lord Set has paid so much for her, she must be very happy, right?"
"She paid more for me." Kaiba told the truth, "Okay, Mahad, you should talk about it, right? Those things."
"Go to the port, faster." Mahad first said to the coachman, and then after the carriage started moving, Mahad began to answer Set's questions: "To be honest, I am really shocked that you don't know this, but this seems to be in line with the character of the Set I am familiar with - he never likes to say those empty words."
[No, no, no, I am no longer the Set you are familiar with, I am just a ghost behind... well, a ghost behind passing by. 】Haiba's face didn't change, but he actually started to complain in his heart, [By the way, that guy called "Li Zheng" and Yugi, their situation is really a bit like my current situation...]
Mahad, who had convinced himself, nodded, and then explained to Haiba: "The so-called stone slab is actually a stone slab that seals monsters. Monsters are born deep in the hearts of humans, and our country has a secret technique that can extract monsters from the depths of human hearts and then seal them in stone slabs."
Speaking of this, Mahad specifically looked at the white-haired girl who was sleeping soundly on Mana's knees, and then casually said, "For example, she has a powerful elf in her heart; and your "Millennium Tin Staff" is the most efficient way to extract elves."
Haiba nodded. It seems that this stone slab is equivalent to the "card" of the future, and this "Millennium Tin Staff" is probably the most powerful "card printing machine" of this era.
[I never thought this thing would be mine - I thought it belonged to Becas, and you guys actually play cards by pulling out slates... Oh, Dazi does the same, don't you think it's too heavy?]
The president's ten-year career as a backstage spirit has really made him develop a lot of bad habits, such as complaining, complaining, and complaining.
"As for followers, it's easier to understand." Mahad continued to explain, "Since priests who can control monsters to duel are rare and precious, they can't just sacrifice themselves as volunteers for a duel trial. So this kind of model has been derived - let the followers of the priest serve as the priest's "life" in the duel. There are four followers in total. When they all die, the priest will lose the duel."
Followers should be equivalent to the "basic points" in the future, but a little more cruel.
Regarding this point, Kaiba frowned...
[This method... I seem to have seen it somewhere? ] Kaiba scanned his memory, but now the president's memory is obviously too much, and he can't recall it clearly for a while, but he can think of a general idea, [equivalent to the stone tablet of the card, and, equivalent to the followers of the lp...]
——————The God Spirit of the Ice Barrier——————
The desert is very cold at night, and a bright moon hangs in the night sky, as if to wash away the dirt of this world.
Egypt has fallen into a deep sleep, but there is still a part of the country that is active, that is, the most commercially developed part of this era, the port of Egypt.
This port is only half a day away from the capital by carriage. Although it is already night, it is still bustling here - this is Egypt's commercial port, which can be said to be very active in this era.
At this time, Set looked at Mahad in front of him with a confused face: "Why did you bring me... here in the middle of the night?"
"What do you think?" Mahad smiled and explained: "If you want to find a follower who knows some magic and is willing to serve you within three days, you can only try your luck among the desperate people here; in addition, there are many evil people here, look for suitable monsters."
