Chapter 248 Seto's Personal Opinion
Under the scorching sun, on the marble-paved coaching field, the reserve recruits of the priesthood were practicing magic.
"Priests" are a type of talent unique to this country. They are able to fight and predict by borrowing magic devices made by alchemy, spells compiled and, most importantly, the power of beings called "elves"
And the humans who preside over sacrificial ceremonies and other tasks...
In other words, a purely "metaphysical" existence.
However, Seto Kaiba was silently looking at the wand in his hand at this time - he didn't know what happened to him. After waking up from the hospital bed, he lost the ability to control his body and could only act like a spirit behind his back.
He usually watched helplessly as a boy who looked exactly like him acted.
Seto Kaiba clearly remembered that it had been ten years since he had the spirit behind him.
————Blue Eyes White Dragon——————
Many years ago, a young boy named "Sett" woke up and found that his home had been burned down and his mother died at the hands of human traffickers. He was heartbroken after the tragedy; and soon the sad young boy was rushed by the palace guards.
They deceived themselves into studying in the Priest Preparatory Group.
As for the reason why Kaiba said he was deceived, it was because Kaiba watched the entire incident: those guards assured little Seth that as long as he could study hard and improve every day in the priesthood, little Seth would be promoted.
Get a raise, learn magic, become a priest, marry the princess of the royal family, and reach the pinnacle of life...
Kaiba thinks that no one with a little bit of education in the 21st century would believe this. Mr. Priest, the guard who is in charge of deceiving people among the guards opposite, you are a national civil servant after all, so don’t talk like a pyramid scheme, okay?
However, the lies were mentally retarded but could not stand up to the fact that little Seth was still young and naive, and he carried the hatred of his mother and hometown being destroyed by human traffickers. After he asked those who became priests and could gain the power to avenge the human traffickers, he never looked back.
He followed the MLM organization...oh, not the priests.
[Fortunately, no one in this era dares to pretend to be such a national civil servant...] As the "spirit behind", Kaiba has been complaining behind Seth. At the same time, he is also paying attention to how to get out of this obviously unscientific world.
Method, [Without that girl, it would be really difficult to deal with such a metaphysical incident... By the way, what were she and I doing before we entered this world? 】
Behind him, Reikai Masato's head hurts whenever he thinks about this problem. It seems that a chain of flames is tying him, preventing his thoughts from going in this direction and unable to find out the reason why he is here.
Every time Kaiba tries to think about this, he ends up fainting from pain, and once he faints, Set's life may take a long time when he wakes up again. Therefore, I want to know more.
The seahorses of this world can only give up and focus more on getting familiar with the surrounding environment.
And over the years, Kaiba has really discovered a lot of things - many things that even Set himself has not discovered.
It's a pity that for so many years, Seto Kaiba can only follow Seth as a ghost. Although he doesn't feel tired, he can't do anything. The only fun seems to be left.
With the help of his knowledge and insights, which are three thousand years ahead of the world, he complained about the Egyptian civilization which was still in the period of slavery.
For example, some time ago, Seth, who is a battle priest, went to the Wangli Library to check literature and materials - in this era of lack of written carriers, every book is precious and unusual. If Seth was not an outstanding member of the trainee priests,
With his civilian background, he was not qualified to read or write.
Of course, behind the scenes, Reikai Masato just wanted to complain about this: no matter which angle he looked at, he didn't think Set would be an ordinary civilian priest.
Set's identity aside, the president originally wanted to take this opportunity to learn ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. If he really learned it here, he would probably become the world's leading master of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs when he left.
!Unfortunately, the president was shocked when he saw those books - the records in those books were actually in Japanese!
Although Kaiba often complained about why the whole world spoke Japanese when watching movies, when he actually saw this scene, he had nothing else to say except "f*ck".
[Can you guys who create illusions give me some refreshments?] The president vomited while reading a book: [Can you at least give me some realism?]
And with this thought, Kaiba could only put away his thoughts on learning hieroglyphics and silently read the contents in the book.
As a war priest who needed to fight, young Seth naturally read a book related to military disputes. On the rough papyrus, Kaiba read that when Seth was a child, the country had suffered
A crisis that nearly destroyed the country: from the West
The Phoenicians were dissatisfied with the rule of the Pharaoh and rebelled. With the technology of taming war elephants, their army was overwhelming. Before entering the royal court of Egypt, the Pharaoh and the priests personally took action and summoned the elves who guarded the royal family.
Drive the Phoenician army into dust...
[Isn’t this nonsense?!] No matter how enthusiastic Seth was when he read it, the president was stunned for a moment: Not to mention that in this era when books are so precious, this book actually cost a fortune.
Most of the space is devoted to praising the greatness of Pharaoh,
The sinister accusation against the Phoenicians was meaningless to the president. When he wanted to read about ancient strategies and tactics, this book actually took over the matter with the sentence "The elves go to war and are invincible"...
...There are only three lines in the middle of the text about war!
When you write like this, are you worthy of those soldiers and generals who are fighting tooth and nail to protect their homeland and country?
Looking at young Seth who was watching with great interest, the president had nothing else to say except lamenting the importance of universal education.
Although he has lived here with Seth for so many years - even though Seth himself does not know that he has such a "spirit behind" who has transcended his own time for thousands of years and can be used as a template for the protagonist in other novels.
In——I know that there are existences such as "alchemy", "magic" and "elves" in this world, but to say that these things can wipe out an entire army...
The president can only say: metaphysician, metaphysician.
At this time, he missed his metaphysics consultant, a certain witch, even more, but it was a pity that he couldn't find her because of his current state of being behind the scenes.
Seto Kaiba, who had been familiar with military books at Gosaburo's request since he was a child, was thinking: "If I can come out one day, I will write a few books in this world and talk about things that are thousands of years ahead of this world."
Isn’t it possible to become a saint with strategic thinking?】
Kaiba was just thinking wildly. After all, he had not been able to move freely as the "spirit behind" for almost ten years, and complaining had almost become his only pleasure. The president himself was worried that if his current self was released, what would happen to him?
Can I be the president of the Kaiba Group? Is it possible that I will become a complainer?
[Um...What is the Kaiba Group?] The president thought for a long time before he remembered what the "Haiba Group" was. "No, I've been here for too long, I have to find a way out!"
】
Well, in this case, the president, who regarded the book as nonsense, naturally did not realize what the "seven artifacts" mentioned repeatedly in the book were.
————Miko with blue eyes————
And just after Seth read the book, within a few days, Seth received a notice asking him to participate in the official priest examination. And the president, who was the spirit behind it, naturally followed him - he also
There was no way not to follow.
Under the scorching sun, the priest examination officially begins!
Set, the trainee priest, stood confidently on the marble floor of the school ground with the snake-headed wand he made by himself, facing the veteran priests who served as examiners, as well as the examiner this time, his senior, who is rumored to be the current priest group.
Ms. Isis, the most powerful prophet, and Set, the young trainee priest, are very confident, but they are inevitably a little nervous.
However, Kaiba was not nervous at all - he was not the one who had to take the exam anyway, right - with this mentality of "just watching the fun is not too big a deal", the president recalled with interest those "related to ancient Egypt"
"Ancient Memories", the most important of which is the Muto game.
There is one thing in this world that Seto Kaiba never forgets, and that is another personality of Muto Yugi, who is called some kind of pharaoh from ancient Egypt by Dazi, Li Zheng and others...
[And I was sent here because of the game? Or...]
The president thought so. He was using his powerful memory to record everything in this world. He hoped that while leaving here, he would also prepare some first-hand information for future research on this ancient civilization.
Looking around, Kaiba thought of the starfish-headed pharaoh carved on the ancient Egyptian mural in the art museum in Doshino City, and the young priest who drove the "blue-eyed white dragon" and calmly faced the pharaoh... Could it be that
Is that young priest this Seth?
"Sett, don't look around!" Isis's voice came from Seth's front, "Calm down and prepare for the assessment immediately!"
"Yes, Seth, please be more serious." Kaiba said casually, and then planned to continue looking at the nearby scenery. However, he did not expect that these words at this time would actually come from "Sett"'s mouth.
.
"Eh?"
Looking at the increasingly weird looks in the eyes of the people around him, and turning his head to look at the "#" characters on Isis's forehead, Kaiba gradually realized that something was not going well...
President Kaiba lowered his head slightly. What he saw was the marble floor, and... his own hands, Seth's hands, one holding the spiritual weapon and the other holding the snake-headed wand... He felt it slightly, whether it was spiritual
Both the weapon and the snake-headed wand are a little wet. [It seems that Seth is not at all nervous, so I will start the assessment seriously. I will be happy if I am embarrassed...]
Kaiba deceived himself by thinking this, but soon, Isis's coquettish words containing anger made "Sett" in front of him retract this idea: "Sett, are you taking the exam or not?! Are you in the exam?"
To entertain us?!"
"Eh? Me?!" President Kaiba, who had not been able to move on his own for nearly ten years, made his voice heard in this world for the first time. He looked at Isis in front of him and the surroundings. "It's okay to watch the fun."
Only then did the priest examiners and trainee priests realize that the person preparing for the priest examination was not Seth, who they had watched for so many years, but... themselves...
[Hey, this is very embarrassing - you want me to play with this kind of metaphysics?] I didn’t expect that the first time I was able to move after so many years was in this situation. "Set" looked at him blankly.
In front of me, Isis, the somewhat mature priest sister, nodded with a face as black as coal...
[Why is this guy so nervous? Didn’t Master Aknadi say that he is one of the best candidates in this session?] Isis looked at the helpless Set in front of her and shook her head in disappointment. She almost thought just now
I used my "Millennium Ornament" to see what the boy's future would be like, but I still held back.
After all, this is in public, so it doesn't look good to just use the Millennium Decoration like this.
"Hurry up and start, are you ready for your magic?" Isis still wanted to test the true strength of the young man in front of her. She still trusted Priest Aknadi. After all, he was the one who cast this thousand-year-old artifact.
Or, his recommendation should not be wrong.
"The magic I prepared?" Kaiba's head was still in a down state. When he heard Isis's question, he began to recall it carefully: [By the way, what did Set originally prepare? It seems to be...
…Oops, I can’t remember!]
For a moment, Kaiba couldn't remember the "magic" Set prepared or the method used. He only remembered that it seemed to be related to some "elf"...
Seeing Isis' expression getting darker and darker, Kaiba knew that he had to take measures to end this embarrassing situation...
He looked at the spiritual weapon in his hand, as well as the snake-headed wand, and lifted the two items with broken jars...
"Open sesame!"
The president gave up treatment and said a "spell"...
There was no movement at all. This was a failed display that could not fail again - if the salesperson of Haima Group dared to make the atmosphere so tense when explaining products to customers outside, then Haima Group would definitely fire him.
But now, Kaiba himself has been "fired".
"..." After watching for a long time, Isis didn't see any movement, and she didn't feel any magic fluctuations. She shook her head - Master Aknadi was wrong this time, "Unqualified, next one"
.”
The president looked confused and was forked by several priests.
Chapter completed!
