In the vast desert, Kaiba and Maliku, who was carrying Isis, ran one after another. Kaiba urged from time to time: "Don't be lazy, run faster!"
"You can carry someone if you can!" Maliku rolled his eyes at Kaiba who said the sarcastic words on the spot, but he did speed up his pace a little. He was unhappy, and the [Bone] behind him had been there for nearly a year after they left the thieves village.
After a kilometer, they were still in hot pursuit, and Maliku didn’t want to be caught up by them.
"Really, that guy Kalim obviously supported us for a while at the beginning, but now he doesn't care about us at all, and I don't know what he is doing." He seemed to be laying the blame on Kalim, but Kalim didn't know
Maliku, who is aware of Mu's current condition, is not worried about his safety, "But if he can summon such a powerful stone monster, that guy should be fine."
"Hmm...how much longer do I have to run? I'm almost out of energy!"
"Save your energy, idiot."
"If you don't even let me complain, how can I still have the will to persevere?" Maliku, who was carrying Isis on his back, gritted his teeth and kept mumbling, "Anyone can help me, please save me. I really
I can’t stand it anymore~”
Mariku, who was talking like this, suddenly heard Kaiba's voice: "Get down!"
As he spoke, Kaiba suddenly turned around, pressed Mariku's shoulders and jumped to the side. Then he pressed a hand on Mariku's head to control his struggle and prevent him from getting up.
The next moment, a purple magic ball flew from in front of where they were heading, without touching the three of them, and went straight into the group of [White Bones].
At the same time that the magic bullets blasted the [Bone] groups chasing the three people into the sky, a voice sounded:
"The target was completely hit, Mana-chan wins, great!"
Malicu looked up and saw a girl wearing a court mage's robe proudly showing off to a man on a horse beside her. Malicu, who has been in charge of the tomb-guarding clan for many years in the valley where the royal family rests, never
He had never met the Pharaoh, but the first time he saw the young man riding the horse, he subconsciously felt that it was the Pharaoh.
"Mage Mana, I should have said just now that there are people in front of the monster group. The magic attack you just used was too reckless and almost hit them!"
Next to the young man whom Maliku thought was the Pharaoh, a young man holding a golden scepter in his hand scolded the mage girl with a serious face. The other person's face made Maliku subconsciously look at the same
Kaiba lying next to him: "Is that your brother?"
"Humph, I only have one brother."
Maliku was rolled over by Kaiba, feeling a little confused: "No, why do I feel that he looks older than you?"
"That is, Priest Seth..."
The person who answered Mariku was not that he was completely distracted, staring at the very familiar starfish-headed seahorse riding on the horse, but that he had been carrying it on his back until he finally woke up because of the magic just now.
Isis.
"Oh, I finally woke up, Isis." When Maliku heard Isis' voice, he also put her down and looked at the man who looked exactly like a seahorse next to the starfish head that seemed to be the pharaoh.
, "It turns out he is Priest Set, and he really looks exactly like Kaiba."
"It sounds like you've been paying attention to that person?" After hearing Mariku's words, Kaiba finally turned around and looked at him.
Maliku nodded and sighed: "I don't know if you have heard that, including the priest Mahad who died not long ago, only one of the six priests under the current pharaoh holds the [Millennium Artifact]
Priest Seth was born among common people."
"Actually, before Seth conducted the test and selection of the [Millennium Artifact], the [Millennium Scepter] was assigned to the tomb guard clan together with the [Millennium Jewelry], but it was different from Isis. At that time,
I failed to get the recognition of the [Thousand-Year Scepter], so in the end it was Seth who passed the test who became a priest."
Speaking of his past, Maliku seemed a little relieved, "It's just because of this. For some reason, I missed out on a certain position. If it were you, it would be the same naturally.
Pay attention to the person standing in that position."
Kaiba thought about it for a while, and brought himself into it when he had the final battle with Hayato to compete for the position of "Duel King" in Duel City, and he did understand why Mariku paid attention to Set.
Looking at Mariku's face, Kaiba thought of the "Sunshine Boy" in the future, and he also gave a rare comfort to others: "If you do it again, maybe you can also be recognized by the [Thousand-Year Scepter]
."
"I'm really surprised to hear such words from a guy like you." Mariku glanced at Kaiba and smiled, "I'd like to lend you some good words."
The two people who had been running desperately didn't have much energy left, and they didn't even sit up after lying on the ground. And while the two of them were talking, the people who rescued them from the [Bones] also came closer. Until
Only then did Maliku realize that the few people he saw were just walking in the front, and there were many people following behind them.
The few people who came closer also saw the faces of Mariku, Isis and Kaiba. The appearance of the priest Isis and the head of the tomb guarding clan, Maliku, was okay, but when they saw the face of Kaiba,
The three leaders were stunned.
The mage girl Mana turned her head subconsciously: "Hey, now, Priest Set, is that your brother?"
"Hmph, think before you speak, Master Mana, I have no brothers."
Set frowned and glared at Mana. If he hadn't considered that the other party was a disciple of his late old rival Mahad, and that she was also the woman that the pharaoh favored, and that he needed the other party's magic assistance for this trip, he would have
The curse came out.
Looking at Kaiba, whose face was exactly the same as his own, Set's face turned cold and he said to An Yugi beside him: "Pharaoh, please be careful not to get close. My subordinates suspect that he is probably a subordinate of the thief Bakura.
, disguised as a subordinate and sneaked into the palace."
"It is very possible that the previous thefts of the [Millennium Cone] and [Millennium Key], as well as the disappearance of Priest Akhnadi, were all caused by this person."
"You have just woken up not long ago and have not yet recovered. My subordinates suggest that you be taken down and tortured first."
It's not that Set is targeting Kaiba. Anyone who sees someone who looks exactly like him would probably have the same difficulty trusting the other person. In this regard, not only Set is targeting Kaiba, Kaiba is also vaguely repelling Set.
.In fact, even Hayato’s attitude towards Meliamon is the same.
However, An Yuxi did not listen to Seth's guess, but smiled and shook his head: "No, Priest Seth, I know him. He is my friend and can be trusted."
"Really, Kaiba?"
Hearing Yami Yugi's words, Kaiba was a little surprised: "Are you actually Yugi? I thought you were an ancient person who looks the same as you Yugi. That guy Kobayashi Hayato didn't lie to me?"
When Kaiba and Hayato met before, Hayato had actually told him a lot of things, including things like Yami Yugi and himself being dragged into the Dark Yugi by Tapiryo, and he also told him that Yami Yugi was originally from three thousand years ago.
The soul of the unknown Pharaoh, this world is the world of Pharaoh's memory.
But Hayato told him those words very seriously, but Kaiba didn't believe it at all. He had always scorned things like "soul" and "memory", but unfortunately, he was now respected as a pharaoh by a group of ancient people.
The existence did show that he was familiar with himself. Kaiba discovered that Hayato was really not making it up. Is Yami Yugi really the pharaoh from three thousand years ago?
But, soul and stuff...
Suddenly with an expression of enlightenment on his face, Kaiba nodded: "I see, I gradually understand everything."
"In this dark game, you have acquired the identity of a pharaoh, right? It's just like those idiots from the Five Elders actually arranged for me to be sacrificed to the ugly dragon monster called [Five Divine Dragons] in the virtual game.
The products are the same, they are just identities in the game."
Kaiba looked confident and said, "No one can deceive me." "I am not a normal gamer because I accidentally fell into this dark game because of the "quantum entanglement state," so of course I am not a normal gamer."
He will be seen by the characters in the game and has no basic identity."
"I probably already understand."
No, just by listening to what you said, I can tell that you don’t understand anything.
Looking at Kaiba, Yami Yugi complained secretly in his heart.
And seeing the Pharaoh inexplicably making a new friend, Set also complained in his mind about why the Pharaoh had so many friends, but even if An Yugi said that Kaiba was his friend, Set didn't treat Kaiba well.
Face: "Haiba? It sounds like a woman's name. Is it actually a man?"
Before Kaiba could get angry, he turned to look at the two people beside Kaiba: "And you, Maliku Yinshudar, as the leader of the tomb-guarding clan, shouldn't you be stationed in the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest?
Why did you appear here together with Priest Isis? And Priest Isis, the order the Pharaoh gave you before should have been to bury the previous pharaohs with Priest Kalim, so why are you here?"
p>
"Before, I thought Kaiba was already irritating enough. Do you think you are a pharaoh? Don't question me!" Maliku, who had just escaped from death, glared unhappily and self-righteously questioned himself.
Human Seth.
He was indeed relieved that he had not been recognized by the [Millennium Scepter], but he had never said that he did not hate Seth. At this moment, Seth's performance made Maliku even more unhappy.
However, the name Seth mentioned also reminded Maliku of something: "Now is not the time to argue with you about these things."
Looking at An Yuxi, Maliku solemnly said: "Pharaoh, this is the first time I have seen you. I am sorry that I cannot give you a full salute. In short, please be sure to send someone to the direction we came from to rescue people. Kalim
The priest and Hayato Kobayashi stayed behind us to delay the enemy in order to allow us to escape."
After Seth heard this, he couldn't help but become serious: "You came from the thief village Clay El, right? Sure enough, the message left by the priest Akhnadi before he disappeared is correct, the thief Bakula's lair
It was in that place. And he actually dared to kidnap Priest Akhnadi and steal the [Millennium Artifact] of Pharaoh and Priest Shada,
This is really unforgivable, Be...Bakura!"
Seth was a little surprised. Whose name did he almost slip into just now?
But after hearing Seth's words, Isis said: "No, although I don't know whether the thief village Clay Elna is the den of the thief Bakula, but Priest Seth, I want to steal the [Millennium Scale] and
The person in [Thousand-Year Cone] should not be the thief Bakura."
"Previously, I was ordered to go with Priest Karim to the Valley of Royal Rest to bury the mummy of the ancestor Pharaoh Aknamkanon. Then I was attacked by Bakura. Fortunately, Hayato Kobayashi arrived in time to save me.
We have been killed, and we have killed the thief Bakura in the Valley where the royal family sleeps."
"Yes, yes, I can prove that there are also the tomb-keepers in the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest. I asked them to preserve Bakura's body before I left." Maliku also said quickly, "And let Kali
Priest Mu and Hayato Kobayashi left behind to delay for us, and it was not Bakura, but another guy who claimed to be the "Great Priest of Darkness"."
"The guy put the [Millennium Cone] and the [Millennium Key] in front of us on a stone slab that he said was connected to the underworld. There were seven vacancies on that stone slab, which could correspond to seven [Millennium Artifacts].
, and after he met us, he wanted to seize the [Millennium Artifact] we were carrying."
Maliku paused for a moment and glanced at the [Millennium Scepter] held by Priest Set, "Speaking of which, although I didn't see the kidnapped Priest Akhnadi appearing anywhere, the "Great Dark One"
"Priest" wears the [Millennium Eye]. The Akhnadi priest you are talking about probably fell into his hands and had his eyes taken away."
"Including the [Millennium Scepter] in your hand, Priest Seth over there, it seems that all seven [Millennium Artifacts] are gathered here?"
Mana tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "The [Millennium Artifact] should have been made by the supreme alchemy skills of the previous pharaohs. Is it possible that collecting seven of them has any special effect? Obviously these seven were used in the past.
Didn’t this [Thousand-Year Artifact] always stay in the palace? Master Craftsman’s Notes
There are also research records left here. What is the use of that person who collected the seven [Millennium Artifacts]?"
An Yuxi lowered his head, with more and more doubts in his heart, but now he didn't have much time to think. Nodding, he said: "Anyway, it's not too late, let's set out to save people. Not only
It's Hayato and Priest Karim. We also need to find the missing Priest Akhnadi and the soldiers who disappeared with Priest Akhnadi."
