Chapter 61 The Priests Who Are Fighting Among Themselves
"Pharaoh, Master Mahad's stone slab has been placed in your temple." After a pause, the guard added, "In addition, in the temple of the stone slab corresponding to the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], Master Mahad's stone slab has been placed in your temple." The transfer has also been completed. However, the stone slab corresponding to the [Magic of Fantasy] has been damaged."
In the main hall of the palace, listening to the report from a guard, An Yuxi, who was sitting on the throne, tried hard not to show a lonely expression. He nodded and waved to indicate that the guard could leave.
While Mahad and Bakula were fighting in the magician's training ground disguised as King Aknamkanon's tomb, a strong light emitted from Mahad's stone temple in the temple far away from the palace. , attracted the attention of Yami Yugi who was in the palace at the time. When he arrived there, he found that Mana was also there.
Knowing that Mana sensed that Mahad was in danger in her dream, An Yuxi immediately ordered the soldiers who were ordered by Mahad to guard the temple to let them go. After entering the temple, the two saw the glowing [Magician of Fantasy] knew that Mahad had summoned this slate elf to fight at this moment.
Obviously he was responsible for going to the tomb of the ancestors of the pharaohs to install the mummy of King Aknamkanon and setting up the surrounding barriers. There was no reason for Mahad to summon the Slate Elf. Yami Yugi immediately deduced that Mahad was definitely the one who met him. When he was in danger, he immediately summoned all the priests except Akhnadi, who was still in a coma, and asked them to lead troops out of the city to support Mahad.
After giving the order, there was no time to wait for the other priests. Yami Yumu took Mana and the two of them to take the first step, and through the news of the battle between Mahad and Bakula at that time, he knew that he had not gone to the tomb of King Aknamkanon. Instead, he led Bakura to the magician's training ground in the Valley where the royal family slept.
Although Yami Yugi's current body seems to be quite brave and good at fighting, and when fighting with Mana's magic, he can almost cut the grass between Bakura's men who are blocking the way, but Bakura seems to have intensified his efforts after the last time. The stronger dark power of his men made them almost impossible to kill, and it was too late at that time. The battle between Mahad and Bakula was essentially at the end.
The moment Mahad merged with the "Magician of Fantasy" before he died, the stone slab of the "Magician of Fantasy" in the stone temple corresponding to the "Millennium Wheel of Wisdom" was completely shattered, and Mana also had Yami Yugi, Isis, Set, Karim, Shada and others who hold the [Millennium Artifact] all feel this.
Although they did not witness it directly, everyone felt that their companion Mahad was no longer alive.
As dawn falls and the rising sun dispels the darkness and spreads sunlight to the earth again, a blank slate originally intended to be replaced in the tomb of King Aknamkanon accompanies Mahad's fusion with the "Magician of Fantasy" Due to the explosion caused by the completed [Black Magic] underground, it slid down from the mountain and stood on the ground.
The light illuminated the stone slab, and the figure of Mahad, wearing a mage's robe and holding a law staff, was already engraved on the stone slab.
Standing next to An Yuxi, Priest Simon may be older than An Yuxi who needs to maintain the majesty of the pharaoh. Even though he has seen too many life and death, he can't help but feel extremely sad, showing a sad expression: "Priest Mahad, he is trying to resist He sacrificed his life as an enemy of the dynasty."
In front of the throne, the other priests also had solemn faces. Priest Seth, who was holding the [Millennium Scepter], did not express his disdain for Mahad as usual, but said angrily: "Mahad That idiot, I have reminded that guy repeatedly not to act recklessly alone!"
"It doesn't matter even if you run away, just call for help when you are in danger. But that guy didn't take my words to heart at all and insisted on fighting the enemy alone. He was too immature, so he died in vain like this. It's really..." "
It seemed that Priest Seth was complaining about the sacrificed Mahad, but the other priests saw it with their own eyes yesterday. After receiving the order from the Pharaoh, Priest Seth could be said to be the first one besides the Pharaoh to go out of the city to support him. At that time, his face That anxious expression had already revealed his true feelings for Mahad.
Although they are usually unilateral tit-for-tat competitors, that doesn't mean that Set has never recognized Mahad in his heart, who has excellent abilities that even he can suppress. It's just that even if this man regards someone as Friends never express their true emotions.
"Ahem, Seth!" On the side, Priest Akhnadi weakly raised his hand and patted Seth on the shoulder, interrupting him without letting him continue. Although everyone can see that Seth is a very arrogant person, not everyone can accept that awkward way of expressing emotions.
After Mahad's sacrifice yesterday, as the holder of the [Millennium Eye], Akhnadi also sensed Mahad's sacrifice and unexpectedly got rid of the problem that had been bothering him since the night Bakura attacked the royal city. The attack came from his own [Millennium Eye], and the doctor was shocked that his previous diagnosis of "difficult to wake up" was overturned.
However, although he regained consciousness, Akhnadi had not actually recovered, and his previous injuries still existed. At that time, the power he used to drive the [Millennium Eye] with all his strength was rebounded by Bakula, causing the dark magic power in the [Millennium Eye] to be completely out of control and scurrying around Akhnadi's body.
Although Akhnadi can use the power of the [Millennium Eye] to take back these powers, it still takes a certain amount of time to recuperate his body. Before that, let alone use the power of the [Millennium Eye] again, or even the stone slab. The spirit cannot be summoned, and the body is always in a weak state.
After all, the [Millennium Eye] is also one of the three "evil" [Millennium Artifacts]. When Akhnadi uses its power, he naturally needs to bear the risk of using this power.
Being interrupted by Aknadi, Seth did not say anything. He respected the other person like a teacher and did not say anything. He calmed down a little and put on a calm expression: "I lost my temper. Lord Aknadi, Pharaoh.”
"Mahad's sacrifice is irreversible, but what is more important to us now is Bakula, the thief who has repeatedly attacked the dynasty and provoked us." Recalling the humiliation of being defeated by Bakula, Se Te clenched his fists, "Whether Mahad succeeded in killing the opponent at the cost of his own sacrifice."
Priest Kalim on the side heard Set's words and said: "The last magic that Priest Mahad used was the forbidden secret that he and I developed based on the fusion power of [Thousand-Year Scale]. When the power of humans and elves are integrated, they can explode into several times the original power."
"Although it is very disrespectful, during the experiment, Priest Mahad and I both believed that the power could even surpass the god summoned by the Pharaoh. This has not changed even after witnessing the arrival of the 'god' with our own eyes."
"But, Priest Karim, you should not have forgotten that the evil monster named [Diabond] owned by that thief is an existence that can compete with the power of 'god'." Seth looked at Ka Lim said, "Now that Mahad's life has been paid for, we cannot bet on the possibility. We must make absolute confirmation."
"Even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, if the thief Bakula escapes from Mahad, it means that the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] may have been taken away by the other party."
After a pause, Set looked at Yami Yugi on the throne: "Pharaoh, I hereby request that the magician's training ground be dug up and the conditions underground be confirmed."
When Priest Shada, who was holding the [Millennium Key], heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Seth: "What you said is not entirely impossible, Priest Seth. Although Priest Mahad has been suppressing all [Millennium Artifacts] with his own magic, There is also the most evil power of the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], but if that [Millennium Artifact] falls into the hands of others, I am afraid it will be turned against us."
"The power of the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] comes from the wisdom of the Aton God, which Lian La also needed to use when creating the universe. In addition to guiding the direction of all things, it also has the power to suppress other [Millennium Artifacts] and even the stone elves. Powerful capabilities.”
He turned to look at Yami Yugi on the throne: "Priest Set and I have the same view, Pharaoh."
"But," Karim looked at Seth and Shada, who were worried about their enemies, and couldn't help but said, "We have already confirmed the bombed magician training ground before. Deep underground, we can work day and night and even use the slate elves. It will probably take at least three days and three nights to dig out the power. This is the seal that Priest Mahad used his own life to seal the thief to prevent him from leaving the ground."
Set snorted coldly and said: "I believe in Mahad's ability. I have always regarded him as an opponent. I believe in his ability more than anyone else, but I don't believe in things like luck. No one can guarantee that the thief Does Bakura have any special ability to leave the underground?"
After hearing Seth's words, Karim, who felt that he was unable to convince the other party, frowned, and simply expressed his position directly to An Yuxi: "In short, Pharaoh, I don't agree with the suggestion of priest Seth, and we can't just waste Mahad." The seal that the priest obtained with his own sacrifice."
"What Mahad leaves behind is time. Your thoughts like this are a waste of his sacrifice!"
Seeing that Seth and Kalim under the throne had different opinions and were about to quarrel, An Yuxi frowned and said: "Okay, please be quiet!"
The Pharaoh spoke, and the five priests in front of the throne quickly knelt down on one knee. Although they had not yet vented their emotions, Set and Kalim could only shut their mouths helplessly.
Looking at the priests under the throne, An Yuxi had a headache.
After coming to the world of memory, he felt that he had never stopped. First, Bakula attacked the palace, then he had to deal with the original interpersonal relationships without any memory, and then he finally found a way between Mahad and Mana. The two of them found their own sense of belonging, but Mahad died just like that.
Not only that, Yami Yugi, who has done some research on psychology in modern times, even saw one thing - since the night when Bakura attacked the palace, he not only trampled on the faces of the priests and pharaohs, but even A rift was torn between the priests.
With Mahad's death, this previously buried and undiscovered crack was exposed. Without Mahad's suppression as the leader among the priests, the priesthood would almost begin to fight among themselves.
At present, although An Yuxi can let Isis and Anakin express their opinions, and finally the minority will obey the majority to make a decision, the result of doing so will only be Seth and Shada, or It was Karim who was unwilling to obey when his opinions were not adopted. It seemed that he suppressed the conflict, but it would only make the conflict break out in a more intense form in the future.
He looked at Isis and said: "Priest Isis, your [Millennium Jewelry]..."
"I'm so sorry, Pharaoh, since the night when the royal city was attacked, [Millennium Jewelry] has only been able to see a murky future." Isis knelt on the ground and said without raising his head, "After last night, I can only see endless darkness."
Isis's words did not go beyond Yami Yugi's expectations. In modern times, because Hayato holds the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], he has long known that the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] has the power to interfere with other [Millennium Artifacts], shielding [ Millennium Jewelry】It is commonplace to foresee the future.
Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the throne, An Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Because we cannot rule out the possibility that the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] has fallen into the hands of Bakula, the stone slab originally placed in Mahad's temple is currently We have all been transferred to prevent Bakura from using Mahad’s Slate Elves to deal with us.”
"Priest Akhnadi's body has not recovered yet, so the task that Mahad originally had to complete to return my father Mu Nayin will be the responsibility of Isis and Karim, and Seth and Xia Da, you two will take over the security work in the royal city that Mahad was previously responsible for."
"Let's wait until the two priests Isis and Karim have their hands free to dig up the magician's training ground after they have completed their tasks."
After hearing Yami Yugi's order, both Karim and Set were still a little reluctant, but they still accepted it. On the other hand, Akhnadi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that Pharaoh asked Seth to take charge of the security work in the royal city.
Being in charge of security work means that Set will bring his own troops who were originally outside to the royal city. This undefended trust is simply————
Without Akhnadi noticing it, a faint light flashed on the [Millennium Eye] in his left eye.
In an oasis not far from the magician's training ground buried underground, a burned hand stretched out from the water with difficulty and rested on a stone on the shore.
