Chapter 57: Next Time, the Death of Mahad!

"The repairing spell is... Let me take a look, please wait~"

Standing in front of a ruins, Mana raised her hand, summoned a book out of thin air and placed it in her hand, and started to flip through the pages. Behind her, Mahad covered his forehead with helplessness:

"So I usually ask you to memorize more spells, Mana. Why are you just starting to read the book now? The enemy will not leave you such free time to read during the battle."

Mana smiled "hey" and finally found the spell she was looking for. While looking at the book, she said to Mahad in a perfunctory voice: "It's okay, Master. Anyway, the real magician is I won’t rely on magic. It doesn’t matter whether I pretend to recite a spell and then take out an ax to sneak attack, add enhanced magic to myself and then take out a holy sword, or make a ring with powerful magic power to use as a finger tiger.”

"I think it's better to just hit someone with a fishing rod." Amid Yami Yugi's complaints, Mana had finished reciting the spell according to the description in the book. Under the power of magic, the ruins in front of her turned into It was like going back in time and repairing itself.

In just a few breaths, the remains of a house destroyed by the fire set by Bakula's men yesterday were repaired in an instant and turned into a brand new two-story house.

"Huh huh huh, although it took a while, but slow work pays off. Sure enough, Mana, my magic is still very strong." She put away the magic book while waving her hand. Mana wiped the sweat on her head and crossed her hands. He bent down and said proudly, "In this way, a house has been restored."

"Oh oh oh, is this the power of magic? It actually repaired a house in the blink of an eye that ordinary workers couldn't repair in a few days. It's so powerful!" behind Mana came the sigh of the owner of the house.

Hearing this, Mana said proudly without looking back: "Humph, Mana, I want to surpass Master Master and become the Sai Q magician of Egypt. Such a small thing is not surprising at all."

Even though she was saying this, Mana's face was undisguisedly proud at this moment, and her whole body seemed so light that she was about to fly.

But when Mana turned around and planned to put on a majestic look to welcome the people's praises for her, she discovered that the owner of the house who just spoke was not talking to her at all, but to her. Looking at several houses that are being repaired on the other side.

In front of those buildings, Mahad stood casually, like a conductor, using the repair magic to quickly restore one building after another with extremely high efficiency, and received heartfelt greetings from the owners. commend.

"As expected of Lord Mahad, you have easily accomplished what we couldn't do. I really admire you!"

"It makes people excited and impressed!"

"So aren't you praising me!? Respect the results of other people's efforts, you bastard!"

Time has passed overnight. Today is the second day after Yami Yugi came to this world of memory. It is also the second day after he ascended the throne and became the pharaoh three thousand years ago. Many matters in the city-state are waiting to be done, and Bakura left yesterday The mess needed to be dealt with, so early in the morning, An Yuxi left the palace to take a look at the construction conditions in various parts of the city.

After the city was attacked by thieves, the newly appointed Pharaoh sympathized with his people and personally came to the city to care about the people's losses. This not only left a good reputation, but also inspired the people and made them continue to believe in the Pharaoh more devoutly.

In order to maximize such benefits, there is no more appropriate choice than to use the "Palace Mage Group"--that is, Mana and Mahad, the "childhood sweethearts" of the dark game.

Using magic to build a burned-out house that usually takes two or three days and is time-consuming and labor-intensive to complete in a hurry, people are not aware of the power, and at the same time, the people will believe even more that even a magician with such powerful power can be accepted as a priest. Pharaoh must be a greater existence.

It's just that, for Mana, who thought she could show off her face, but was stolen from the limelight by Mahad, who is more proficient in using magic, this performance can be regarded as quite a failure.

Yes, it is not the "work" of repairing the building, but the performance of "restoring the building". Although I have a good personality and I don't mind doing these things, no one really thinks that as a magician and Mana who has powerful power. The two masters and apprentices like Mahad will always use magic to help people build houses, right?

This is really just a performance. They mobilized the people's worship of the priests and the pharaoh and called it a day. As for the construction of other houses in the city, there were a large number of coolie slaves under the pharaoh's rule who could be dispatched to give instructions.

Dark Yugi did indeed live three thousand years ago, but most of his memories are in modern time. Although he does not like the slavery system under the influence of modern society, he also knows that "not to require fictional worlds or to be based on reality or modern moral standards." "They are ancient people", and did not pursue the absurd idea of ​​abolition of the slavery system, and accepted the method of instructing slaves to do coolies to build the city-state.

Besides, Yami Yugi is the biggest beneficiary of the slavery system. It's really nice to have a group of people who can give orders at will.

Okay, it's just a joke, Yami Yugi is actually not that happy, he doesn't have too much control, and he prefers playing cards than being a slave. He knew that Yami Yu was not so much giving orders, but that the slaves were eager to do work instead of doing nothing.

After all, although the former will be very tiring, it also means that you will not be killed casually for the time being while you are still useful, but the latter will only make the slaves afraid that they will be killed soon.

Another point is that although the status of slaves in ancient Egypt, a slave country, was only the property of their masters, their masters did not want their property to be damaged. Although they would let slaves work, they would never appear. Over-squeezing, including food and accommodation and free medical treatment, rounding things off, some social animals under capitalists in modern society are treated worse than slaves.

But let’s not mention those things for the time being. At least for now, the powerful magic displayed by Mahad can be said to have instantly won him the love and popularity of the people. No, there are many children approaching him. , looking at Mahad with eyes full of eagerness and admiration, secretly establishing the longing in his heart to become a priest as powerful as Mahad.

The sun illuminates everything on the ground, but even the sun has blind spots that cannot be found. While Mahad, who is not very good at interpersonal communication, was awkwardly dealing with the enthusiastic people, and An Yu was comforting Mana without noticing that he was being exploited, on the sand dunes in the distance, a bunch of white hair stood up from the rocks. rise.

After Bakura escaped from the royal city yesterday, although he pretended to be escaping thousands of miles away, in fact, thanks to the knowledge he learned in modern times, "the most dangerous place is the safest place." Baku He didn't leave the royal city too far at all. He successfully hid in the blind spot of the soldiers who were out searching, and continued to lurk near the royal city, waiting for opportunities.

"Hey, in order to avoid Hayato Kobayashi and the game, I have to hide in this poor place now. The wind is so strong." Shaking the cloak on his body that had not been changed all night and was filled with sand, Ba Kula touched his pocket, but only took out a piece of garlic, "Damn, this is all that's left? Or is it garlic?"

"It was a lot more grand yesterday when I went to sell gold. If I had known that the priests were not interested in gold, I would have brought less jewelry and necklaces. Maybe I could have brought some roast pork or something."

Although he disliked garlic, it was the only food Bakula could find on his body. He blew the fine gravel on the garlic away without peeling it. Bakula took a bite of the garlic, chewed it, and looked into the distance. The prosperous royal city.

"Oh, are you solving the trouble I left yesterday? The action is quite fast, but this kind of prosperity is built on darkness. To subvert it and watch it fall into the abyss, just thinking about it makes me sad. I’m looking forward to it.”

"But before that, I have to collect all the [Millennium Artifacts], but there are seven of them. It seems a bit difficult to grab them all at once." Looking at the city, Bakula Using his extraordinary eyesight, he quickly located Mahad, who was surrounded by people outside the palace, "First of all, let's start with the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]."

"Obviously it is my favorite [Millennium Artifact] and the one that best suits my power, but what makes me unhappy is that that bastard Hayato Kobayashi actually snatched it from me. The [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] is also spineless and he did it casually. Just listening to what that guy said made people angry.”

"Bringing back the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] will not only relieve my anger, but also eliminate one of the unknown pharaoh's most capable men. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Sure enough, I am a genius, hahahahaha..."

Sitting on the sand dune, Bakula laughed so much that he fell back on the sand dune and rolled down the hillside. At the same time, Mahad, who was far away in the city, seemed to be aware of it and turned suddenly. He looked towards where Bakura was before, but he could only see yellow sand blowing in the wind from the dunes.

‘Is it an illusion? ’

With this thought in mind, Mahad looked down at the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] on his chest, and saw five golden cones hanging on the edge of the golden disc floating against gravity, pointing to the position where he just felt it. .

[Millennium Artifacts] are actually divided into good and evil. Among them, [Millennium Cone], [Millennium Jewelry] and [Millennium Key] are [Millennium Artifacts] classified as "good", and [Millennium Scale] is considered an intermediate attribute. The [Millennium Eye], [Millennium Scepter] and [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] are "evil" [Millennium Artifacts].

Compared to the "good" and "neutral" [Millennium Artifacts], the "evil" [Millennium Artifact] has a powerful power that is easier to exert. At the same time, it will also have an impact on the user's body and mind. The more it is used, The more that power will be infiltrated by the dark power, the more it will be unable to extricate itself.

Therefore, the users of the three "evil" [Millennium Artifacts] are Seth, Akhnadi, and Mahad, who are considered the three strongest among all the priests. They were selected by the [Millennium Artifact], but it was also because only they could restrain themselves from sinking into darkness.

Priest Akhnadi had been the priest who used the [Millennium Artifact] as early as the time of the previous pharaohs. Together with Priest Simon who used the [Millennium Key] at that time, he was the right-hand man of the previous pharaohs. He could be called the right-hand man of the previous king. Usually Akhnadi The Imperial Priest is also a kind-hearted priest who advocates benevolence and is very helpful to others, so he was given the [Millennium Eye];

Although Priest Seth has always had some troubles with Mahad, Mahad also understood that it was because Seth had a strong competitive spirit. Although his background was not prominent, according to what he said, his father seemed to have been a child in his early years. A soldier who died when following the previous pharaohs to quell the war, but Seth used his own efforts and under the guidance of the priest Akhnadi who seemed to be very optimistic about him to surpass a lot of nobles and stand in his current position, so he got [Millennium Scepter];

Then there is Mahad himself. Although it seems a bit like bragging, it is an indisputable fact. Mahad is very strong. Even without the power of the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] and the Slate Elf, he can defeat him alone with his superb magic. More than ten powerful monsters have been given the title of "The Strongest Priest", and because of this, while receiving the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], they were targeted by the Priest Set who wanted to become the strongest.

However, compared to the [Millennium Artifact] that others can use freely, the ability of the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] is just a "guidance" that is least helpful in the battle, and at the same time, the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] is also all The strongest dark force among the Millennium Artifacts, it forced Mahad to separate his own power to suppress its magic power.

For this reason, the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], which is supposed to be the same as the [Millennium Jewelry] that predicts the future and serves as an important line of defense to warn the future, always appears to be in a state of inactivity and is often unable to detect dangerous approaches in time. Recently, there has been a series of Apart from the two major events of the tomb of the previous pharaohs being stolen and thieves breaking into the palace, Mahad, who has the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], was still responsible for the tasks.

Although the Pharaoh did not criticize Mahad harshly for this, he himself has always been extremely guilty of his dereliction of duty and has been thinking about how to make up for this mistake.

And now, after a long absence, the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] is moving again. You must know that although it has been working sometimes and sometimes not working before, it has never pointed in the wrong direction. This means that Mahad's kind of... The special feeling is not an illusion!

"The thief Bakula, I will never let Pharaoh's people suffer because of you again!" Clenching his fists, Mahad glanced at the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] that was still pointing in one direction, and resolutely pointed toward the one not far away. Yami Yugi walked away.

Now that the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] has resumed its normal work, he must quickly lead his people to hunt down Bakura!
