Chapter 62 Hayato: OMO
After receiving the order from Dark Game, Isis and Kalim each counted their soldiers and gathered in front of the exit of the royal city, preparing to go to the Valley where the royal family rests, so that the ancestor Pharaoh King Aknamkanon can rest in peace.
However, at the city gate, Isis saw a familiar face.
"Kobayashi Hayato?"
"Hey, Priest Isis, we meet again." The person who appeared at the exit of the royal city was Hayato, who would make people forget that he was the protagonist if he didn't refresh his presence. He leaned against the stone pillar and looked at Isis. Si Dao, "Where are you going?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Priest Karim said with a straight face, glancing at Hayato. It had only been two days since Bakura attacked the palace and easily defeated the priests in a playful manner. Naturally, Karim had not forgotten Hayato who also broke into the palace that day.
Although the other party was the one who assisted the Pharaoh in repelling the thief, it is also true that he was also an unidentified intruder. If Yami Yugi had not used the power of the Pharaoh to allow Hayato to enter the palace, it would not have been possible to calm down Bakura. After the commotion caused by the incident, Hayato must be punished for his disrespect.
Although it sounds a bit unreasonable, Hayato is still punished even though he is here to help, but this is the rule of the dynasty.
Regarding the unidentified Hayato, although the only person who expressed his wariness against Hayato was the late Mahad, in fact among the six priests at the time, at least Kalim had the same view as Mahad, and he did not He didn't trust Hayato, but he suppressed this emotion in his heart because of Pharaoh's statement at that time.
The real reason why Kalim was treating Hayato coldly at this moment was because after Akhnadi attacked Bakura but was knocked down and fell into a coma. Kalim, who was the first to arrive at the scene for rescue, knew that not only were there That Bakura, Hayato is also nearby.
However, Hayato who appeared in front of Karim at that time could be said to be unscathed, indicating that he was fully capable of helping Priest Ahnadi. After all, Priest Ahnadi was such a highly respected person, how could it be possible? Would anyone not lend a helping hand to him?
Kobayashi Hayato-san, why are you just watching from the side! Didn’t Pharaoh say you are our companion! Could it be that you are betraying me?
Although Karim did not shout and question Hayato like that at the time, the suspicion he had about Hayato in his heart was aggravated again because of the incident with Aknadi. If there was no evidence, Hayato seemed to be deeply involved. Because of the Pharaoh's trust, Kalim even thought about going to the Pharaoh and complaining that Mahad was attacked because Hayato betrayed his whereabouts.
Even now, Karim didn't give Hayato a good look.
"We have no need to disclose our whereabouts to people like you."
Hearing Kalim's words, Isis naturally heard his inexplicable hostility towards Hayato, and said: "Priest Kalim, this young man is recognized by the pharaoh, I think he can be entrusted trust."
"Entrusting trust? Ha, Priest Isis, as a woman, I am not surprised at all that you would say such a thing." Glancing at Isis, Kalim said arrogantly, "Oh, you know I've eaten more sand than you've drank Nile water, but don't blame me for not warning you."
As he spoke, Karim rode his horse in the direction of Hayato and walked two steps around him, "This guy may look like a brat, but I can always feel a sense of disharmony in him. This guy's body Didn't you notice his movements? In his movements, he seems to have the self-awareness of a 20-year-old young man who is 1.95 meters tall."
When Hayato heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Karim, and Isis also raised his eyebrows in confusion: "How did you come up with such an accurate number?"
"That kind of thing is not important. What is important is that [Millennium Scale] did not find any incompatibility between this person's body and soul, but his body has this strange sign. It is almost like a two-year-old man." It’s like the soul of a ten-year-old youth has entered this body that has shrunk to an eight-year-old!”
Kalim said coldly: "For whatever reason, you don't appear in front of us with your true face. Until this is clear, I, Kalim, will never retaliate against you, a guy of unknown origin." trust!"
As he spoke, Kalim greeted the rear, and without waiting for Isis to react, he left the royal city without looking back. Most of the soldiers gathered at the exit of the royal city followed him. He picked up Karim and left the city.
"If you want to trust this person, that's up to you, Priest Isis, but that also means that I won't go with you, because I don't want to take the risk of having a stranger in my team."
Seeing Kalim leave after saying such words, Isis was silent for a long time, just sighed and said to Hayato: "Sorry, Kobayashi Hayato, I apologize for the rudeness of Priest Kalim. He is actually a He is a very good person, but maybe because of Mahad’s incident, he is not in a good mood.”
"I don't care about those things. Compared to those, does that guy named Kalim actually have so many people? They are not at the same order of magnitude as you." Hayato waved his hand, not caring what Kalim just said. the words said.
Compared to other priests, Hayato actually met Isis for a second time on the night when Bakura attacked the palace. After all, Hayato took Isis's gladiatorial disk to deal with Bakura at that time. Although he usually likes to tease others...I mean collect the trophies he deserves, Hayato did not ignore Isis's gladiatorial disk and refused to return it. When Isis came to find him, he generously returned it to its original owner.
However, it was just a second meeting, and the two did not have any more friendship. The reason why Hayato specifically sought out Isis now was because he really had no other choice.
Yesterday, Dark Game took Mahad and Mana to use magic to build damaged houses in the city to build the pharaoh's prestige. In fact, Hayato was not idle, but was planning to speed through this dark game.
Yes, speedrunning is normal, isn't it? How can real players always stick to the conventional clearance process? In particular, Hayato knows Bakura, also known as Tapir, his true identity and true purpose, as well as the premise of where the strongest power can be obtained in the ultimate dark game that unfolds in this King's Memory world. Down.
Three thousand years ago, An Yuxi, the nameless pharaoh, lost his "name". Finding his lost "name" was exactly An Yuxi's purpose of opening this world of memory. Unfortunately, his "name" The existence that can be summoned is the strongest power in this world.
Although Hayato has forgotten many plot details, he remembers this "name" very clearly. "As long as you tell Yami Yugi his "name", you can pass through the memory world." This is what Hayato originally thought.
However, on his way to the palace to find Yami Yugi the next day, Hayato discovered something strange--that is, he could not tell the name of the unknown pharaoh. It was not that his memory had been erased or had been manipulated. A forced ban is an even more outrageous situation.
If you say it smoothly, it will be covered up by the inexplicable noises that sound at the same time, making it completely inaudible. First there are two women cursing, then there are the sounds of vendors quarreling and fighting, and even if you hide in a quiet corner, a building will suddenly collapse. There was such a terrifying movement like a loud noise, it was as if the whole world was targeting Hayato to prevent him from saying that name.
Hayato even tried to whisper in the ear of Nefertari who was traveling with him, but Nefertari was almost hit on the head by a pot that flew from nowhere and was injured, so Hayato had to give up on her. Trying to say that name, he told Nefertari not to follow him first, so as not to be involved in that disastrous existence.
Hayato remembers that he once read a comic. In one of the comic series, there was a villain with difficult abilities and even invincible power. His ability made anyone think of tracking him. You will be attacked by "disasters" from time to time, and various small details in daily life will turn into unimaginable fatal attacks.
Hayato, who was trying to name the unknown Pharaoh's lost "name", seemed to be in a similar situation, with the whole world preventing him from saying that name.
Although many of the current performances are very subtle and appear on the premise of not hurting Hayato, they don't seem to have any scruples about the lives of other people. In addition to Nefertari who was almost hit, Hayato even saw a passerby. The farmer uncle was almost crushed to death by the collapsing building.
Hayato couldn't guarantee whether the situation would become more serious or start endangering his life if he continued to try.
As for the "writing" situation that does not appear in various literary works, Hayato has also tried it, but it is useless. The note written on papyrus will get wet for no reason, and the stone will be carved on the stone itself. It suddenly cracked, and when I tried to draw it on the sand, the wind kept blowing the sand away, preventing even a single word from remaining.
The root of everything lies in that "name". It's not that Hayato thinks that Yami Yugi's "name" is the source of disaster, but he remembers that the nameless pharaoh lost his name three thousand years ago in order to seal the evil existence that he couldn't resist at that time.
Accompanying the name of the king is the lost memory. This memory constitutes the world in the stone slab. But in addition to the name of the king, what is entangled with the memory is the evil will that was sealed together. I am afraid that it is Hayato. The source of the disaster he encountered made it impossible for Hayato to name Yami Yugi.
After coming to this conclusion, Hayato was no longer in a hurry to go to the palace to find dark games and make unnecessary attempts. Instead, he wandered around the city for a whole day, looking for evidence from everywhere that could verify his conjecture. And as a result, he really found a lot.
The current pharaoh is Yami Yugi. He grew up in this city and ascended the throne. But just yesterday, when Hayato asked the residents, of course everyone said that they knew the pharaoh's name.
But the problem is that when they wanted to say it, they were all stuck in thinking. They couldn't say Pharaoh's name. They even recalled peeking at the sister next door's cup when they were taking a bath when they were children, but they still wanted to Can't bear Pharaoh's name.
Alone, Hayato might have guessed that the memory of the cool-tempering man he first asked about was failing. Anyway, the old man who kept leaving was still asking Hayato's name, "Who is he?", but the second one asked about buying groceries. Auntie, the third farmer who asked, asked at least twenty people, but no one could remember the name of the unknown pharaoh.
Then, it is only possible that Yami Yugi's name has been directly erased from this memory world, because the evil will that constitutes the memory world together with the king's memory will never allow the name of the king who restrained himself to remain here. in the world.
In addition to people's memories, Hayato also found many stone tablets that were supposed to record the king's name, but found that the words on those tablets had also been erased out of thin air, just like what Hayato had seen in the outside world. The same vacancy on the King's Memory Stone.
Whether it is the memory of a living person or a dead thing without life, the name of the nameless Pharaoh has been completely erased from this world. Even Hayato, who knows the name, cannot speak it out. In this case, Doesn't it mean that there is no way to clear the level in this world?
Not really, Hayato also knows a place where Yami Yugi's name is definitely still there and has not been erased, and it is probably the only place in the world where Yami Yugi's name can be obtained. That is Yami Yugi, or the tomb of the unknown Pharaoh, where the king's true name in the original timeline came from.
As long as we can get there, we might still be able to speed through this memory world.
Then, there is only one problem before Hayato, and that is - he doesn't know the way.
Not to mention where the unknown pharaoh's tomb is located in such a huge Valley of the Royal Family. Hayato, who has no memory of this world, doesn't even know which direction to go to get to the Valley of the Royal Family after leaving the royal city. He is helpless. Only then did he find Isis.
After hearing Hayato explain his purpose of coming and wanting to follow him to the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest, Isis hesitated for a moment, but rejected Hayato: "I'm sorry, Xiaolin Hayato, I can't help you in this matter, because not everyone can Only priests like us who hold the [Millennium Artifact] are qualified to enter the Valley where the royal family sleeps."
"If you don't have the [Millennium Artifact], even if you get permission from the pharaoh, the tomb-keepers who guard the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest, where all the pharaohs of the past are buried, will never let you pass there."
When Hayato heard this, he frowned regretfully: "That's it. It seems that without the [Millennium Artifact], I really have no chance."
Although he said that he had no chance, Hayato turned around and looked directly at a temple near the palace.
If the plot will not be deviated due to his presence, it seems that a certain guy who got the [Millennium Artifact] will come back here recently?
"Ah sneeze!" Sitting by a bonfire, Bakula dried his clothes and covered his burned left hand, "Damn Mahad, you will still leave me in trouble in the end, if not [Diabond] took the opportunity to kill his unretracted [Shadow Ghoul] and plundered the ability to 'walk through walls', I might really have to die down there."
"Even the nameless Pharaoh and Kobayashi Hayato couldn't kill me, but they almost overturned at the hands of a phantom of memory. It's so rude!"
Gritting his teeth, Bakula rubbed the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], as if remembering something, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "I remember seeing an interesting memory in the royal city. If I remember correctly, it was that guy three thousand years ago. It’s time to get me an ally!”
