Chapter 64 I don’t want to say something too rude, you’d better give up.
Ignoring the unsuspicious process, Seth, who proactively approached Hayato and asked him to fight him, was still defeated.
Seeing Seth taking back the defeated slate elves, Hayato also raised his hand, and the Star Dragon behind him immediately disappeared without stopping, as if he was afraid that Hayato would play with him again like last time.
"Is this the level of power that can compare with God?" After recalling the details of the battle just now, Seth's face did not show frustration because of the defeat, but instead showed a look of having found the goal of struggle.
And with a rather excited and confident smile, "Compared to last time, I see the direction in which I want to become stronger more clearly. From now on, I just need to ignore the obstacles on the road and move forward."
As long as you become stronger, you will have the power to protect everything, so there is no problem in making some sacrifices for this.
Just as the battle between the two ended, a person not far away walked up to the two of them. As he approached, he greeted from a distance: "Priest Set!"
After Seth heard this, he turned his head and saw a shiny bald head: "Xia Da? Why are you here?"
The visitor is none other than Shada Xin, one of the five priests who currently holds the [Millennium Artifact]. After the two priests Set and Kalim had a dispute in the palace, Yami Yumu asked him to temporarily appease the two.
Shada and Seth came together to take charge of the security work in the royal city.
"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you about this, Priest Seth?" Unlike being so silent and restrained in the palace, Shada was slightly relaxed and casual when he was not in front of the Pharaoh but in front of Seth.
Said, "Before, you said you were going to gather the troops and asked me to wait for you, but you didn't come back once you left. Why don't I come here to see what's going on with you?"
"As soon as the results came over, I saw that you were defeated again." Shada said, and he was a little stunned.
Huh? Why do I say "again"?
"Oh, this is not a defeat, it's just the necessary training that you have to go through in order to learn from experience." It was obviously a defeat, but the reason Seth made up sounded quite plausible. Hearing this, Shada was also shocked.
Shrugging and saying nothing.
Because there are six [Millennium Artifacts] except the [Millennium Cone] that symbolizes royal power, there are only six priests who hold the [Millennium Artifact]. However, despite the fact that there are only six priests, they are still because
They were divided into two parties for their own reasons.
Mahad is a friend of Isis, and she will naturally side with Mahad in general matters. Seth was almost promoted from the bottom by Akhnadi, so naturally she will side with him.
Therefore, because Set always made trouble for Mahad, two factions naturally formed.
Among the remaining two priests, Karim did not like Seth's arrogant and domineering attitude, and admired Mahad who was simple and did not have too many tricks, while Shada admired his ancestors.
Akhnadi, the priest of the Pharaoh, was closer to Seth.
Seth and Mahad, the leaders of the two parties, actually had no consciousness of drawing a line among the priests. Seth simply wanted to prove that he was better than Mahad, and Mahad only wanted to prove that he was better than Mahad.
I want to be loyal to the Pharaoh and work for the Pharaoh, but it is an indisputable fact that the priests are divided into camps because of the two.
When Mahad was alive, everything was fine, and this potential division was not on the surface. But yesterday, after Mahad sacrificed himself, leaving one person missing from the priesthood, the undercurrent that had never subsided before came to the surface.
On the surface.
Among the priests, the eldest Akhnadi does not have much ambition and simply supports Set as always, but the second-oldest priest Karim has his own thoughts. Previously, Mahad's
He admires his character very much, so even though Mahad is known as the "strongest priest" and is vaguely the leader of the priests, he has no objection.
But now after Mahad's death, Set seems to have planned to become the "strongest priest" and become the leader. This makes Karim a little unhappy. In terms of seniority, if the priest Ahnadi is not included,
So why should it be his turn, Kalim? How can it be your turn as Seth, a brat?
This led to the dispute in the palace. Although Kalim himself did not support Seth's proposal, it was inevitable that he could not understand Seth's motive of trying to cause trouble for him.
Among the five current priests, Priest Akhnadi has not recovered from his serious injury. Priest Isis’s [Millennium Jewelry] has lost the power to foresee the future for some reason, and because of Mahad’s death, he has no intention of doing anything. The active ones
There are actually only three priests: Karim, Set and Shada.
Among the four young men in the priesthood, Shada was not as capable as Mahad and Set, but was stronger than Isis, which made him the least conspicuous and mediocre among the priests.
His own personality is also somewhat peaceful, neither fighting nor fighting. After Mahad's death, he has now become a buffer-like role between Karim and Set.
Although he didn't know much about Set's character, Yami Yugi used the character of Seto Kaiba whom he knew as a reference, and although he knew that there was a big difference between the two - for example, Kaiba's stubborn tsundere never
Thanking people——but the overall personality should not be much different.
Worried that Set would be too tough when he was responsible for guarding the royal city and cause trouble to the people, while Isis and Kalim were arranged as a team, Shada was also arranged by Yami Yu and Set.
Together, help him take charge of the security work in the royal city and neutralize possible troubles.
In fact, An Yuxi's vision is quite different. Today is the first day that the two of them are responsible for the security work in the royal city. Even before the specific work has officially started, Xia Da sees
Seth, who had promised to mobilize his troops and let him wait, actually dragged him into a duel ceremony just because he met someone on the roadside. It was really too willful.
After sizing up Hayato, Xia Da also said hello: "Hello, if I remember correctly, you should be Hayato Kobayashi. We met the day before yesterday."
Of course Hayato also remembered Sharda. The night before yesterday when Bakura attacked the palace, it was Karim and Sharda who took Anakin back to the palace after he fell into coma. The two also met at that time, but they didn't communicate much.
That's all.
However, even though he didn't say a few words, in fact, to Hayato, it was neither Karim nor Akhnadi, but the one who impressed him most was Shada in front of him.
——No way, even though it was night, under the surrounding firelight, Xia Da's bald head was as bright as a light bulb, and it was hard for Hayato not to be impressed.
"Listening to what you just said, Priest Sharda and Seth, will you be responsible for the city's security work next?" Hayato asked curiously. The answer to this question actually affects his next steps.
Plan.
Xia Da did not shy away and nodded calmly and said: "That's right. The current preliminary discussion between me and Priest Seth is that I will be responsible for the palace and temple surroundings that are smaller in scope but need to be strictly monitored, and Priest Seth will be responsible for
Dispatch troops to take charge of larger residential areas in the city and other places."
"The incident of the thief Bakula is already a humiliation for us priests, so we must be more careful and responsible in the future, and we must not let the thief break into the royal city a second time." After a pause, Shada
He said slightly sadly, "In this way, Priest Mahad's sacrifice must be made in vain."
They are both young people. In fact, besides Seth, Sharda and Mahad had a good relationship. Mahad's death also made Sharda very sad.
"Regarding this, do you think that just by being optimistic about the city, Mahad's sacrifice was not in vain, Sharda?"
After hearing Shada's last words, Seth seemed to have remembered something, and Seth suddenly said to him, "No matter how airtight the two of us guard the city, we are only inheriting Mahad's original responsibilities."
It's just a dereliction of duty. How does this make his sacrifice not in vain?"
"To really make Mahad's sacrifice have the greatest value, shouldn't we take the initiative to kill Bakura, whose life or death is unknown!?"
"It's useless even if you and I tell you about this matter, Set." Looking at Seth who was getting a little excited, Shada explained with helplessness on his face, "You have already discussed this matter with Priest Kalim before.
After the quarrel, the reason why Pharaoh postponed the decision was because of his concerns."
After a pause, Shada looked at the [Millennium Key] in his hand, "Besides, if Bakula is still alive, it means that he must also have obtained Mahad's [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]. Originally
We won’t be able to compete with him, and now we’re probably even less likely to be his opponent.”
Hearing Xia Da's words, Seth's face looked a little unsightly because he was exposed the fact that he had been avoiding thinking about in his heart. Even he was proud and had to admit that what Xia Da said was right.
Even if you have seen the location of more powerful power with Hayato's help, if you don't have a way to improve, you are still no match for Bakura.
Unless...
An idea that had been abandoned by him resurfaced again. Thinking that he now had the power to manage the city's security under the authorization of the Pharaoh, Seth could not restrain the idea of implementing his thoughts in reality, and couldn't help but said to Shada
: "Speaking of which, Shada, your [Millennium Key] has the power to see the monsters in people's hearts, right?"
"That's right." Shada nodded, not knowing why Seth suddenly asked himself this, "The desires and evil thoughts in people's hearts will turn into monsters, driving them to commit crimes, and the power of the [Millennium Key] can
If you open your mind and see clearly what is going on inside, you will naturally be able to see whether there are monsters entangled in your heart."
After Seth heard what Shada said, he turned his head and looked at the city in the distance: "So Shada, I would like to ask you to use the [Millennium Key] to explore the hearts of the people in the city and find people with powerful spirits in their hearts.
”
"What!? Stop talking nonsense, Seth!"
Shada was stunned for a moment after hearing Seth's words, and then said nervously and anxiously: "Do you know what you are talking about? As priests, we should use the power of the [Millennium Artifact] to protect the people.
How can you use force against innocent people!"
"Hmph, then let me ask you, are we going to watch Bakula use the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] to amplify his evil thoughts to become more powerful and difficult to contend with? Or do you want to rely on the Pharaoh's call again?
With the power of God, can the riot be quelled by risking one's life?"
Faced with Shada's questioning, Sett refused to give in and argued instead, asking instead, "What do you think makes Mahad's sacrifice in vain?"
Shada was speechless. Which choice was the right one, to involve the Pharaoh in danger or to use the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people? He couldn't answer Set's question. In distress, his eyes couldn't help but move to Hayato beside him. "I, I don't know."
Hayato watched Shada being speechless by Seth's question, and shook his head. In his opinion, Seth's starting point for using power against the people in order to protect them was good, and his concerns were correct.
Yes, but the method used is wrong, completely putting the cart before the horse. This is so similar to someone who created the [Millennium Artifact].
"You made a mistake, Seth."
Hearing Hayato's voice, Seth also turned his head to see what Hayato wanted to say.
"You said that you want to use the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people to see if there are powerful elves. This is really stupid. Do you think that just anyone can find someone who has been practicing longer than you?
Is the spirit in the heart of a priest who has a far stronger will than ordinary people a more powerful existence?"
Hayato crossed his arms in front of his chest and talked eloquently: "It's impossible. The average person can find some fish-like monsters in his heart. It's already a limit. It's a problem to even compete with the powerful slate elves collected by you priests.
, let alone go to war with [Diabond] whose power is close to that of a god. Blindly using the [Millennium Key] on the people will only be a waste of time and the energy of Priest Sharda."
"I don't want to be too rude, so you might as well give up."
Hearing Hayato's words, Seth didn't say anything but showed a thinking expression, as if he was a little convinced. Before Hayato mentioned it, he really didn't think of this, and was completely carried away by his obsession with power. Now
Think about it, Hayato Kobayashi is right, why would he want to use the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people?
"That's what I mean, um." Seeing that Set seemed to be convinced by Hayato, Shada quickly agreed with Hayato. However, he also wanted to ask Hayato, "But if we don't use the [Millennium Key], wouldn't we
Can’t we become stronger and we can only rely on the Pharaoh again and risk our lives?”
"I didn't say Seth was wrong. Of course you still have to use the [Millennium Key]." Hayato said, pointing to himself, "Instead of wasting time on ordinary people who are destined to gain nothing, it is better to directly choose some with potential.
Someone try it."
"I have long wanted to know what kind of spirit can be awakened in my heart. Come and serve it, I can't wait."
