Chapter 27 Capitalists Are Attracted to Each Other
Back in time, when Hayato and the others walked out of the forest, they saw two figures standing in front of an obelisk-like pillar, communicating with each other.
"Is this here, amunaeru?" Kagemaru leaned on crutches and asked amunaeru who was stroking the pillar beside him. Behind Kagemaru is a four-legged mechanical device.
Although Kagemaru, who is nearly 100 years old, has maintained a very healthy body compared to other elderly people of the same age due to the physical exercise in his youth, he is getting old after all. It was just with the help of the four-legged crawling device that Kagemaru was able to follow On amunaeru march forward through the jungle and reach their destination.
However, compared to amunaeru, Kagemaru, who knew nothing about alchemy, could not see anything special about the pillar in front of him.
On the other hand, amunaeru stroked the pillar with his fingers and said to himself, showing a sense of wonder and excitement: "What a wonderful structure, a seal was actually built through seven obelisks, and all the dead creatures on this island were thrown into it. In the seal, using the replacement of nature itself to complete the 'Philosopher's Stone'? What a genius idea!"
"Although it may take a long time, as long as you slowly wait for the day it will be completed!"
Seeing amunaeru getting excited, Kagemaru urged impatiently: "amunaeru!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I saw the great idea, and I couldn't help it for a moment." Kagemaru interrupted the whimsical thoughts that came to his mind. Amunaeru was not angry, and said to Kagemaru apologetically, but he also It feels a little strange.
"However, it's really strange. Since Diablo built such a prop on the island, as long as his brain is not short-circuited and he thinks about killing all the creatures in one go to accumulate progress, shouldn't there be many animals on the island to continue to provide enough energy? , why did I only see a few flying birds on the way here?"
Amunaeru held his chin in his hand, looking like he was thinking, "And that guy Diablo, shouldn't he have appeared in front of me a long time ago? After all, we have such a good relationship, he can't wait every time I show up. He was concerned about the progress of my experiments and shared with me what achievements he had made."
'No, it sounds like Diablo just wants to show off to you. How did you hear that he considers you a friend? ’ Kagemaru behind amunaeru cursed, his expectations of getting help from the alchemist named Diablo somewhat lowered.
He should have thought a long time ago that this guy Amunaeru doesn't understand the world at all. Maybe the guy named Diablo not only doesn't regard him as a friend, but even regards him as an opponent or enemy, how could he help him.
At this moment, someone joined the conversation between the two: "If the Diavolo you are talking about is an old guy with pink hair and patches of mold, then unfortunately, he may not be able to I have come before you.”
"Who?!" Kagemaru heard the sound and went away, only to see several young people carrying backpacks of different sizes and dressed as tourists walking out of the jungle not far away. The one who spoke was walking behind a few young people. There was a tall, handsome young man at the front.
‘Is he the traveler who parachuted off the plane just now? Humph, it's best not to affect your actions. ’ Kagemaru was not very interested in these young people, especially the short one with hair that stood up like a starfish, and the dark-skinned kid with white hair and a weak face. It was very obvious.
Among this group, these two are the least worthy of attention. They look like weaklings at first glance.
However, it was the young man who was the leader who just spoke to him that attracted Kagemaru's attention. After looking at him, he couldn't help but frown.
Kagemaru felt that the young man looked familiar, but even though he looked handsome, for some reason, Kagemaru always felt that the man had a very evil temperament. This was because Kagemaru was a capitalist who built a huge business from scratch. Intuitively, from the first moment he saw the young man, Kagemaru felt a unique gravitational pull, the gravitational pull between capitalists.
Even if the other party is not a high-level leader in an organization, at least he is a decision-maker with the courage to sacrifice his subordinates without hesitation to achieve his goals.
However, Kagemaru, who only had a limited understanding of dueling monsters, did not recognize the young man. Amunaeru standing next to him recognized the other person's identity at a glance and said unexpectedly: "Mr. Hayato!? Why are you here? ?”
"Uh, I remembered, could it be that the plane just now was..."
"Well, that's pretty much it. I didn't want to appear here, but it was also because of an accident that I learned that there was actually a crazy alchemist here." Hayato glanced at Amunaeru who was wearing a mask and said hello, " It’s been so long since kc cup, long time no see, Dade Temple.”
Hayato thought that the other party would reject his title again, but what Hayato didn't expect was that amunaeru actually nodded and agreed: "Well, now I am indeed called by this name, Mr. Hayato."
"Is he someone you know, a... Daitokuji Temple?" Kagemaru looked at the alchemist he hired next to him and asked. It seemed that he was asking Hayato who the others were, but in fact, when he heard Amunaeru call "Hayato", he had already remembered where he had seen this young man.
‘Kobayashi Hayato, I didn’t expect the Duel King to show up here. Did it really appear here by accident? Look at the group of peers behind him. Are they traveling with friends during the holidays? I guess so......'
'Humph, the kid is just a kid after all. Even the so-called Duel King is just playing children's tricks to become the strongest. He is clearly in a treasured place but he doesn't realize what a great existence is in front of him. ’
With such thoughts in mind, the main purpose of Kagemaru asking Amunaeru was actually to ask about another point, that is, not many people knew about Amunaeru's new name "Ditokuji", and when did Hayato Kobayashi meet Amunaeru? , and when did I know this name.
Even though Amunaeru is also a strong young man with black hair, he is actually about the same age as Kagemaru. However, the "Human Body Refining" that Amunaeru successfully completed before was applied to himself and exchanged. A physical accident made him get rid of his old body and regain his youth.
But at the same time, it meant that Amunaeru's original identity also disappeared with the old body's death. The new Amunaeru had to ask Kagemaru to help him prepare a new identity. And this new name, Amunaeru thought about it at the time. After a long time, it was named "Dade Temple".
"Ah, Mr. Hayato, I met him during the previous KC Cup. At that time, I happened to be looking for possible prehistoric powers in America, and I just happened to catch up before returning from the Nazca Plains in South America and found nothing. I attended the KC Cup event jointly organized by International Illusion Club and Kaiba Entertainment Group, and took part in it, where I met Mr. Hayato."
"Although Mr. Hayato competed under his own name at that time, speaking of my current name, I only chose it thinking of what Mr. Hayato called me at that time."
Amunaeru smiled and raised his hand to take off the mask on his face, revealing a young face. He smiled very kindly and narrowed his eyes. At first glance, he looked like a good-tempered person who was bullied. An honest person who won’t fight back.
However, when Yugi looked at amunaeru's exposed face, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him before.
Recalling the memories, Yugi suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when Paradox planned to kill Becas to destroy the history of duel monsters, Yusei and Judai from the future traveled through time and space to come to the rescue. Isn't there a ghost named "Dadeji Temple" next to Daikun?
In this way, since the other party can exist next to Judai as a ghost in the future to help him, and Judai seems to respect the other party, this uncle named amunaeru should also be a good person.
Thinking of this, Yugi was no longer wary of Kagemaru and Amunaeru appearing in front of him, and felt a little relieved.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Hayato, you just said that Diablo is Diablo. He can't appear in front of us. If possible, can you tell me what the situation is?" Thinking of what Hayato said when he first appeared, Daitokuji looked at Hayato and asked seriously, "He is my friend, and I have a problem in alchemy that I would like to ask him for help."
"Well..." Hayato glanced at Daitokuji Temple, shrugged, and told everything that had just happened without any concealment. After the few of them landed on the island, they were attracted by the sound of others being attacked. Go to a clearing in the forest and be led by Diavolo [danger! Bigfoot attack.
Daitokuji also looked shocked when Hayato said that Diavolo was conducting biological modifications while also conducting his own experiments on humans. He wanted to defend his friend that the other person was not that kind of person, but when he carefully recalled the other person's behavior in the decades they had known each other, he could only be speechless, and his emotions turned into a sigh.
"well......"
"well......"
Kagemaru, who was beside Daitokuji, also sighed together. Hearing that the alchemist who had the ability to complete the "Philosopher's Stone" was almost dead because of playing cards, Kagemaru felt even more sad than if his own son died. , although he has no son.
You are a man who is also several decades old, why do you want to play cards with a kid who is in his teens or 20s? If you don’t play cards, is it possible that the opponent will use the monsters in the cards to directly attack you? And if you play cards, you can actually kill someone?
The key is that he died, which meant that his plan to extend his life with the help of the alchemist named Diavolo also failed. How could Kagemaru not be disappointed and resentful?
Disappointedly, without Diavolo's "Philosopher's Stone", Amunaeru would have no way to complete his "Human Body Refining" to extend his life and continue to live; resentfully, the abominable kid Kobayashi Hayato destroyed the Everything at your fingertips!
However, before Kagemaru could cast an angry look at Hayato, all his eyes were attracted by a reddish-green gem the size of a glass bead that Hayato took out from his arms nonchalantly.
Although he didn't understand alchemy, Kagemaru knew that this jade stone could satisfy his desires. This was not some vague intuition. He really heard a voice in the stone calling him to reach out and touch it!
"This stone is Diavolo's 'Philosopher's Stone', but as you can see, it's not finished yet. It's still the color of the raw material 'Olihagon'. It's more about satisfying desires than it is about satisfying desires. Too much can only arouse desire, and the difference between it and the real 'Philosopher's Stone' is like the difference between steamed buns to fill the stomach and snacks to arouse appetite."
Not paying much attention to the unfinished version of the "Philosopher's Stone" in his hand, Hayato tossed the jade stone around and played with it, while Kagemaru's eyes followed the movement of the jade stone.
"However, this thing is of no use to me at all. Do you want it, Daitokuji?"
Yes, no matter if he wants it or not, I want it anyway, that’s my baby, give it to me quickly!
Kagemaru yelled in his heart, and when he saw Hayato holding out his hand, he almost subconsciously reached out to take it. He finally used his other hand to control the hand that was about to move.
Get it, amunaeru!
However, even though Kagemaru prayed hard in his heart, what surprised and disappointed him was that after Daitokuji stretched out his hand to catch the Oriha Stone, he actually handed it back and wanted to return it to Hayato? !
"Forget it, Mr. Hayato. With my talents, I cannot change the method of creating the 'Philosopher's Stone'. I can only follow the path of the predecessors and complete the 'Philosopher's Stone' in that way." ..." Looking at the red Oliha stone in his hand, Daitokuji firmly refused, "Even if it is called the highest achievement of an alchemist, I will be disgusted by it."
"Actually, during the commotion caused by Atlantis not long ago, I also accidentally obtained an Oriha Stone. If I wanted to use it to complete the 'Philosopher's Stone', I could have done it long ago. , but I finally chose to give up.”
With a smile on his lips, Daitokuji said casually, "I happened to meet a child in America who had an eye injury while trying to save an animal friend, so I gave the Oliha stone to that friend. An inspiring child.”
Kagemaru's fists clenched tightly as he listened.
Amunaeru, you bastard, do you think I am deaf and can’t hear? You kept telling me before that you didn't know how to make the "Philosopher's Stone". Don't you know that clearly, and you resisted the method you knew for the sake of a little bit of psychological mysophobia? Damn it, what kind of reason is that!
It doesn't matter even if I have to sacrifice a lot of lives to complete the Philosopher's Stone. I am Kagemaru, the Kagemaru who has founded countless pharmaceutical groups under his name! I have saved countless people's lives in my life. Although I have money in exchange, what's the problem if hundreds of thousands of people die in order to save someone as important as me?
It's obviously amunaeru, you bastard, you are ungrateful and don't want to save me, right? You don't want to use the precious "Philosopher's Stone" for me, including the fact that the "Human Refining" has flaws and cannot be used on me. It must be a lie, you guy must be You don’t want to share with me how to extend your life!
He actually gave away the "Oliha Gang" that seemed to be able to create the "Philosopher's Stone"? How stupid!
Kagemaru didn't realize that while he was just staring at Oliha for a short while, the darkness that had been accumulated in his heart all his life seemed to be drawn up and exploded in his heart, facing Oliha. The stubborn Hayato was completely devoted to Amunaeru who refused to save him.
However, on the surface, Kagemaru remained calm, and there was no hint of any resentful thoughts in his heart.
"Well, is there any trouble in the production of the 'Philosopher's Stone'?" With a kind smile on his face, Kagemaru asked Hayato and Daitokuji Road.
"This is not a matter of trouble or not, Mr. Kagemaru. To tell you the truth, the completion of the 'Philosopher's Stone' is basically filled with the death of countless lives. To reverse death into life, it takes Nature is the process of life falling towards death. It is for this reason that I tell you that I cannot complete the 'Philosopher's Stone'."
Kagemaru?
When Hayato heard the name, he glanced at the old man next to Daitokuji, and instantly remembered the other person's identity. The old man in front of me seems to be in the news often. He seems to be the founder, largest shareholder, and current chairman of a well-known international pharmaceutical group. He also seems to have some cooperation with Haima Group.
And in the future, this guy seems to have become one of the founders of Duel Academy and served as its chairman?
Because Hayato's image of "Kagemaru" only has three images: an old man in a wheelchair, an old man lying in a rescue cabin, and a streaking muscle maniac. For a while, he saw that he could stand on his own without wearing an oxygen mask. Hayato didn't really recognize Kagemaru after he finished speaking. The principle is just like some people don't recognize others when they see them wearing clothes.
Hayato was slightly stunned when he thought of Duel Academy.
Because he didn't pay much attention to it before, it was only now that Hayabusa suddenly remembered that the terrain of the island they were currently on, except that there were no academy buildings or docks for ships to berth, was not much different from the Duel Academy in his impression, or even The huge pillars in front of you are exactly the same as the seven-pillar seals that seal the three phantom demons in Duel Academy? !
Could it be that this is the Duel Academy in the future!
While Hayato was looking at the seven pillars, Daitokuji also noticed his movements and couldn't help but also glance at the seven obelisks. Next, uu read a book
He suddenly recalled the functions of the seven obelisks he had explored before, and a smile appeared on his face: "By the way, you can still use this place!"
"I have an idea, Mr. Hayato and Mr. Kagemaru. As long as you use the sealing device left by Diablo to seal the Oriha Stone, it can continue to absorb power with the help of the natural elimination of the creatures on the island, and finally complete the 'Sage' stone'!"
Daitokuji said, looking at Kagemaru, "Although this may take some time, as long as the 'Philosopher's Stone' is completed, Mr. Kagemaru, I will definitely help you complete the 'Human Body Refining'."
"Well, I believe you, then I'll leave everything to you, Daitokuji." Kagemaru still had a smile on his face, but the darkness aroused by the Oriha Stone in his heart was already turbulent, "Humph, what can you say to help me?" This guy amunaeru must be thinking of monopolizing the power of the 'Philosopher's Stone' after killing me, damn guy! ’
‘I won’t let you succeed. After I go back, I will lie down in the life-support cabin to reduce my metabolism as much as possible to extend my life. And you, do you think I can only rely on you? I have decided, I will use this place as the location to create the 'Phantom Demon'. There is a record in that book that the 'Phantom Demon' can give people strong vitality, which is much more reliable than alchemy or something like that. ’
In Hayato's ears, the voice of the [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] that deliberately remained invisible came.
‘Kuri Kuri~’
"Huh?" Hayato was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Kagemaru, who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, "[Three Phantom Demons] said, Kagemaru has a smell similar to them?" ’
