Chapter 101 I want to be the best duelist in the world, women are in the way
Maliku Yinshudar led the magicians of the tomb-guarding clan and brought Hayato and Kaiba, who were restrained in the magic barrier, to the back of the Temple of the Valley of Royal Rest, which is the entrance to the tombs of the pharaohs of the past.<
/p>
As soon as he arrived here, what caught Hayato's eyes was an open, empty sarcophagus placed in the open space. Hayato remembered that it was the one that Karim and Isis' soldiers carried away when they left the royal city.
Sarcophagus.
——Although carrying a sarcophagus for such a long distance may seem silly, the distance is not short after all, and we can’t let Pharaoh’s mummy bask in the sun along the way.
But now that the sarcophagus has been opened, the mumoyin of King Aknamkanon inside is not here. In addition, Karim and Isis are also missing. Hayato speculates that they may be taking mumoyin with them.
Buried.
Maliku just glanced at the empty sarcophagus and snorted unhappily: "You just left the garbage here and threw it here. Do you think my tomb-guarding clan is a garbage dump? Hey, you guys,
Go and move that garbage away for me!"
While asking people to move away the empty sarcophagus, Maliku slammed the scepter in his hand on the ground, looked at Hayato and Kaiba and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked your two names yet." p>
The tomb-guarding magicians retreated after bringing the two of them. Although the tomb-guarding clan has been stationed in the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest for many years, even they must abide by the rules and precepts. Taking another step forward can be regarded as stepping into the tomb.
They entered the resting place of the Pharaoh, which was a forbidden area that they could not set foot in.
The only one left in front of Hayato and Kaiba was Mariku. As the leader of the tomb-guarding clan and the great priest, although he had no subordinates to command, he was confident that with his own strength, as well as the royal family's death, he
Due to the favorable location of the valley, there is no need to worry about Hayato and Kaiba counterattacking.
When Hayato heard Mariku's words, he became interested and opened his mouth with a pseudonym: "My name is Tadokoro Koji. I am 24 years old. I am a student. I have been exercising recently. I live in Shimokitazawa——"
No one can say for sure whether Maliku will have any means of casting a curse by his name, right? However, Kaiba, who has never been superstitious, didn't care about this at all.
"What are you talking nonsense about? This guy's name is Hayato Kobayashi, and my name is Seto Kaiba."
Hayato rolled his eyes and was talking nonsense. Kaiba interrupted him and said his and Hayato's names. Even though he was locked up by the barrier, Kaiba still had a calm expression, and even looked at Mariku with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
, as if Maliku was the one in the barrier, "Specially asking for our names, are you asking for mercy, the leader of the tomb-guarding clan?"
"Please forgive me? No, I just want to make it easier to distinguish the two of you when writing the diary, Hayato Kobayashi, and Seto Kaiba, right?"
Looking at Kaiba with his arms folded across his chest, Maliku frowned and said, "What a strange name. This makes me even more sure that you two cannot be from the royal city, especially you. I don't know."
If I remember correctly, one of the Pharaoh’s priests was also named Seth. Although I have never met him, no matter how I think about it, it cannot be a guy like you in strange clothes.”…
Because they are not participants in the dark game like the game, Kaiba is naturally wearing the iconic white windbreaker he wears in the real world. In addition, Kaiba's windbreaker is also decorated with strange ties. It would be a different person.
If you wear it, you will look like an SM lover.
Hayato heard Maliku's words and said casually: "Then I will change my name on the spot. Now my name will be Meliamon. This name is in line with the naming habits here and is much more normal.
Right?"
Hayato thought that Meliamon was from the future anyway, and since he had taken over his body now, it would be no problem to use another name by the way. As for the bad things done by Kobayashi Hayato, who was so evil, he was only eight years old than me.
What does it have to do with the innocent young Meliamon?
When Kaiba heard the name "Meliamon" mentioned by Hayato, he raised his eyebrows. He felt that he had heard this name somewhere. Kaiba, who was always only interested in things like "the front" and "the future",
Regarding the history of ancient Egypt, the names of pharaohs and other "old things that should be swept into the corner" naturally would not go out of their way to understand, and even he had some impression of the name
It may only be those particularly famous ones.
"From the day I inherited the position of the leader of the Tomb Guard Clan, I have known about its existence, but I have never had a chance to use it." Not paying attention to Hayato's words, Mariku Yin
As Xiudaer spoke, he took two steps towards the direction of the valley and stopped in front of a very conspicuous dividing line.
"I feel a little angry when I say it. Although the position of patriarch has always been passed down to men rather than women, it is mine, but the existence of the woman Isis always has this position because she can become the pharaoh's priest, so she has mercy on me.
But it’s the same as giving alms."
"Hmph, I'll just let you two see it. The third barrier that prevents thieves from entering the valley where the royal family sleeps and disturbing the pharaoh's sleep. In the name of the leader of the tomb-guarding clan, I gave an order to be lifted out of hiding and revealed in front of my eyes!" Maliku's scepter hit the ground hard again, and he shouted his name: "Hot Sand Sphinx!"
The next moment, above the valley, a huge shadow suddenly fell from the position where the sun was shining, and landed in front of the three people. A huge sphinx descended as Maliku shouted. The first level of barrier that protects the pharaoh's eternal rest is the tomb-guarding clan in the Valley where the royal family rests; the second level of barrier is the many spells and mechanisms arranged around the temple in the Valley where the royal family rests; and the third layer of barrier,
It is this sphinx that should only exist in myths!
However, although it is said to be a sphinx, it is slightly different. The sphinx that appeared in front of Hayato and Kaiba did not have a human face like the huge statue in front of the Pyramid of Khufu.
Like the lion-like body, it has been replaced by the blue of the starry sky, and in addition to the pair of golden eagle wings on its back, the head of the "Hot Sand Sphinx" is wearing a headdress that only a pharaoh is qualified to wear.<

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because of what happened at the "Pyramid of Light", Hayato has always had a strong sense of repulsion towards the "Sphinx", but the "Hot Sand Sphinx" in front of him did not have any special dislike. On the contrary, he had
A sense of intimacy that I don’t know where it comes from…
"Anyone who enters the resting place of the Pharaoh must pass the test of the 'Hot Sand Sphinx' guarding this place before entering. This has been established since the beginning of the existence of the Valley of the Royal Resting and our tomb-guarding clan.
"The rules." Maliku looked at the majestic Hot Sand Sphinx and said proudly, "Anyone who fails to pass the test will be bitten alive by the terrifying Hot Sand Sphinx in the name of the Pharaoh." "The soul will also be torn apart by its minions and tortured forever in its cosmic maw, with no way to escape!"
Just like a scary ghost story that scares children that if they don't go to bed early, a chicken will come to their door, Maliku tried his best to express the terror and power of the "Hot Sand Sphinx", and it was also the first time he used it.
Mariku, who was focused on punishing others, was looking forward to the expressions of fear on the faces of Hayato and Kaiba.
But Hayato was lucky. To give the future Malik face, he had a "so strong, too strong" expression on his face, and he showed a scared expression quite cooperatively. Although it was judged to be fake at first glance, Kaiba didn't care at all.
Malikku's words: "Humph, who knows what you are talking about."
"Although some people did not expect that there would be a genetically mutated beast that looked like this in ancient Egypt three thousand years ago, but in the end it was just a beast."
Being able to understand that the energy barrier enclosed by the "quantum entangled state" is an electromagnetic phenomenon caused by the geographical environment, and that the huge mythical monster "Hot Sand Sphinx" is a genetically mutated beast, Kaiba's scientific brain will never understand
Disappointing.
However, he didn't see the expectant and fearful expression, which disappointed Mariku who really enjoyed the torture. Looking at Hayato who was pretending to be tired and Kaiba who didn't take the "Hot Sand Sphinx" seriously at all, he pouted.
, said coldly: "Haha, then I want to see how long you can keep pretending like this."
"Let's begin, 'Hot Sand Sphinx!"
With a wave of his staff, Maliku stepped back some distance, leaving only Hayato and Kaiba, who were trapped in an energy barrier and unable to move, in front of the "Hot Sand Sphinx".
Looking down at the two people, the tall hot sand sphinx's starry sky-like face seemed to have a slit open where his mouth was, and he uttered human words: "When you
Your mother and wife fell into a fast river at the same time. When there is only enough time to save one person, will you save your mother or your wife?"
Hayato was already prepared to answer "Those with four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening are humans." When he heard the words of the Hot Sand Sphinx, he was stunned and immediately complained: "I am super, what is the problem of the century?"
!?This is something that ancient Egypt could come up with three thousand years ago?"
This was completely different from what Hayato expected. Even Kaiba, who had a straight face on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Mariku strangely.
"Hey, hey, hey, I, Maliku, am quite proficient in human nature. This is a super difficult problem that I have thought about for a long time." A proud Maliku put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "If the answer is to save my mother,
Then the Hot Sand Sphinx will take action on the grounds that he is a scumbag who abandons his wife when in danger and plays with women's emotions."
"As for saving his wife, the Hot Sand Sphinx will do the same on the grounds that he is an unfilial son who watched his mother drown. In other words, this is an unsolvable problem with no answer!"
….
"I already said I would kill you, how could I leave you a chance to survive? Hahahahaha!"
As if he was dissatisfied with Hayato and Kaiba's inability to give correct answers to the Hot Sand Sphinx's questions, Mariku was so arrogant that he even began to explain the problem-solving ideas to the two, but the so-called "problem-solving ideas" were not at all
There is no solution.
"The Hot Sand Sphinx's question is essentially just a formality. No matter how you answer it, you will be dead. The real way to crack the test is to identify the person being asked the question. That's it. The answer is not important at all."
Riku continued, "Only those who have been given a mission by the Pharaoh, or the Pharaoh himself, have the ability to pass the test. In addition, even the priests who hold the [Millennium Artifact] will not be able to pass the test and will die in the heat."
In the hands of the Sand Sphinx!"
"How about it? How do you feel now after hearing such desperate news? How do you feel?"
Before, simply describing the horror of the Hot Sand Sphinx failed to scare Hayato and Kaiba. At this moment, Maliku changed his mind and made the two of them see the desperate situation in front of them very clearly, and wanted to use this to appreciate it.
The fear of two people.
But he was disappointed again. This time Hayato didn't bother to cooperate with him, and said helplessly: "As for your problem, I think it can be easily solved. As long as I am Oedipus, it will be fine."
In the legend of the Sphinx in Greek mythology, although it is indeed Oedipus who answers the Sphinx's questions, Hayato mentions Oedipus here for another reason - Oedipus
Si killed his father and married his mother. As long as his mother is his wife, this problem of the century will be solved.
Although, it’s a bit of a joke.
Kaiba rolled his eyes at Hayato, who was still making a bad joke at this time, looked up at the huge monster in front of him that was waiting for his answer, and then was about to take action, and said calmly: "I, Seto Kaiba, have been around since I was born.
Now, there is never a moment when I live for anyone else except me."
"The path of glory that continues into my future. If anyone wants to tarnish this path, no matter who the opponent is, I will crush it with these hands. Even if God stands in front of me, I will defeat God and continue.
Forward!"
"In the future, I want to be the best duelist in the world. Women are in the way!" Kaiba, who is an orphan without a mother and thinks he is not interested in women and will not have a wife, said firmly.
[Recommended,@
Both of them are destined to die, and there is no possibility of passing the test.
Then, looking at Hayato and Kaiba, the Hot Sand Sphinx said: "The answer is correct." Then, it flapped its wings and flew away again before Maliku could react.
.
Huh!?
Maliku couldn't understand how this could be right. How could the answers of these two people pass the test? There was no reason at all?
"You two, what is going on?"
Looking at Hayato and Kaiba, Mariku said angrily, while Hayato shrugged easily: "You are kidding, who is not a pharaoh these days.".
