Chapter 102 Maliku Is Really Yours
The fact that Hayato and Kaiba could successfully pass the test of the Hot Sand Sphinx was completely beyond Maliku's expectation. Looking at the two of them, Maliku frowned, somewhat confused about their situation.
Although as he just said, there are only two ways to pass the test of the Hot Sand Sphinx, either by successfully answering the question, or by having the authority granted by the Pharaoh. After Malikku specially designed the unsolvable problem, there was only one way to pass the test, and that was to obtain the authorization of the Pharaoh.
Although Hayato holds the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], even the [Millennium Artifact] is useless.
Could it be that those two outrageous answers just now were really the solutions to difficult problems that I finally came up with?
Maliku thought with a headache.
As for Hayato's nonsense about both of them being pharaohs? Maliku thinks he is still a smart man. Whoever believes that kind of nonsense is a fool. He is not a three-year-old.
At least six years old.
"S-te--!"
At this moment, the three of them heard a voice shouting from a distance. From the direction of the Valley where the royal family sleeps, a person shouted across the long road and walked towards them, "Why are you here?" , Seth!”
After hearing the sound, a few people saw a muscular middle-aged man holding a golden scale [Millennium Scale] in his hand. Was it because he was ordered by An Yuxi to bury the mummy of the ancestor Pharaoh Aknamkanon? Peaceful priest Karim.
However, another meaning of the dark game is to prevent Kalim from quarreling with Seth who stayed in the city, causing the conflict to expand into internal strife. But looking at Kalim's attitude when he saw Kaiba, he has been I'm afraid I haven't calmed down at all, and I'm afraid I'm even more disgusted with Set because I'm far away from the royal city.
In fact, it was exactly as Hayato had guessed. Although he was ordered by the Pharaoh to bury the mummy of King Aknamkanon, this duty was honorable and in itself was proof of the Pharaoh's full trust in Kalim. During that time, Karim was quite satisfied.
After Mahad's death, Karim had some ambitions for a higher position. He felt that the pharaoh had given him such a mission, and at the same time, he did not touch the mountainous area where the priest Mahad died as he suggested. Obviously, Compared to Priest Set, I am the one who has more hope of taking a step forward.
Moreover, the person traveling with him was not the more senior Priest Akhnadi, but the Priest Isis who was junior to him. This mission was obviously focused on himself, so naturally he would have a greater share of the merits. .
But after one day out of the city, Karim's mind completely changed.
He was only thinking about the benefits of this errand, but he forgot that the Valley of the Royal Family's Sleep was located in a remote area, and there were no oases or towns to rest along the way. There was no place to hide when the wind and sand came. And because I was carrying the mummy of King Aknamkanon, I couldn't even rest and had to reach the Valley where the king rested as soon as possible. The experience along the way was so bad that it was explosive.
Among the many priests, except for the priest Seth who was born as a commoner, Shada Xin and Isis Isildar were both from the tomb-guarding clan. Although the past of the priest Akhnadi is unknown, his daily etiquette His performance also shows that he has an extraordinary background and is well-educated. Needless to say, Priest Mahad is the playmate of the current pharaoh in the same year. Kalim is also from a noble background.
Although he had undergone arduous training to become a priest, Karim, who was still considered pampered on weekdays, could not stand the torture of the journey. Naturally, he would not blame this dissatisfaction on the pharaoh who entrusted him with the order, but on the pharaoh who assigned him orders. Seth.
I've suffered so much because of that guy Set, don't let me see him again, don't let him put the hood on the ground! When Karim, who had complained like this, saw "Set" actually appearing in the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest, he didn't even think about how Seth could appear here. He wanted to settle his unhappiness with the other party on the spot. .
"Priest Set?" There was another person beside Karim. Priest Isis, who was wearing [Millennium Jewelry], was stunned for a moment when he saw Hayato and Kaiba, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly said to the person next to him. Kalim said, "No, please wait, Priest Kalim."
"Although the appearance seems to be exactly the same, if you look closely, you can see that the Priest Set who appears with Kobayashi Hayato is definitely not the same person."
A normal person would have to calm down a little after hearing what Isis said, but who is Kalim? He sneered and put the [Millennium Scale] on his waist, and pressed his knuckles to make a "click" sound. Voice: "Isn't it Seth? I can tell that if you say so. Indeed, I feel that Seth is even more annoying than this guy."
"But what does it matter if it's not Seth? It's better to say that. I just want to vent my anger on him during this period!"
As he spoke, Kalim ordered to Maliku: "Hey, you! Open this barrier for me, I'm going to beat him up!"
When Maliku heard that Karim actually ordered him, he immediately stared back: "Don't order me! I only tolerated you because you had the pharaoh's order before. This is the territory of the Tomb Guard Clan, and I am the leader of the Tomb Guard Clan. !”
He was already very unhappy because of what Maliku had done, and out of nowhere, another Karim jumped out. He clearly didn't recognize him but shouted his name "Seto". Kaiba stood in the barrier and said: The two guys who were about to start a fight shouted: "Yakamazai! You bunch of incomprehensible guys!"
Across the barrier, the three men came together, as if they were about to fight at any moment.
But Hayato, who was also standing in the barrier, stood aside to watch the show, and said to Priest Isis who came to the barrier: "Hey, do you think they look like dogs quarreling through the glass?"
"Huh? Glass?" Isis tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand what Hayato meant. She leaned down and fiddled with the spells left on the ground a few times, and said, "Xiaolin Hayato, Why are you and this guy who looks exactly like Priest Seth here?"
"That's a long story. After you and the arrogant Priest Kalim left the royal city, a lot of things happened." Hayato put aside Isis's question for the time being. He felt that 'the pharaoh encountered It is better to hide the news of the attack as much as possible, so as not to affect the morale of others.
"A lot of things?" Isis looked at the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] hanging on Hayato's chest, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Did Bakula come again?"
"Because you see, the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] and Priest Mahad were buried in the underground magician training ground, right? Since the Pharaoh said before we set off that we would not dig there for the time being, wouldn't it be for the Pharaoh's honor? He will go back on his word, which means that Mahad failed to die together with the thief Bakula, and the other party went to the palace again with the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], right?"
Although he had left the royal city for two days, just by seeing Hayato wearing the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], Isis was able to analyze a lot of information clearly and with extremely high accuracy.
Unlike Isis in the future, the priest Isis from three thousand years ago did not develop the [Millennium Jewelry] to a high enough level, and her ability to see the future was barely used. Unlike Isis, who could not only see the future, but also You can also play back the past. It is for this reason that Isis specifically honed her reasoning abilities to improve the accuracy of glimpses of future moments.
"Okay, it's untied." After pressing the last node, Isis lifted the barrier, allowing Hayato and Kaiba to regain their freedom. The next moment the barrier was lifted, they looked like they were about to fight. Kaiba, Kalim and Maliku all stopped as Hayato teased, not as arrogant as they said just now.
"Hey, what are you doing, Isis Isildar, who asked you to release these two criminals!" Instead of continuing to confront the other two, Maliku chose to find trouble with Isis, "You are Do you think that after becoming the pharaoh’s priest, you will overpower me as the leader of the tomb-guarding clan?”
"No, I didn't mean that, Mariku."
Looking at his younger brother Maliku, who had been competing with him since he was a child, Isis felt helpless. He thought to himself that he had been too spoiled to him since he was a child. If he had another chance, he would never let him go again. He would definitely do it. Suppress education well. However, the emotions in his heart were not revealed on the surface. Isis said calmly: "I saw it just now. The two of them successfully passed the test of the Hot Sand Sphinx, right?"
"Kobayashi Hayato is a friend of Pharaoh, and this man who looks exactly like Priest Set, since he can be with Kobayashi Hayato, he must have obtained Pharaoh's permission to come and go here. In other words, they have been here since the beginning. They are not criminals and you have no reason to imprison and try them.”
"Hey, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Maliku muttered and complained when he heard what Isis said, but he couldn't refute what Isis said. At this moment, only Isis' words can answer why Hayato and Kaiba were able to pass the test of the Hot Sand Sphinx before.
"Hmph, Hayato Kobayashi, you actually came here." Karim glanced at Hayato and snorted coldly, "Although I don't know what reason you used to convince the Pharaoh, but I still don't trust you. Especially the guy next to you who looks like Set."
"What is your intention in coming here?"
Karim, who was always repulsive to him, Hayato didn't take his criticism to heart at all, and said casually: "My answer is to protect the [Millennium Artifact] in the hands of the two of you."
"Ha, what a joke." Just as Hayato expected, Karim didn't believe what Hayato said. "Are you trying to say that in addition to hurting the Pharaoh, that thief Bakura has a new target and is targeting him? Is it the [Millennium Artifact] held by our priests? It’s ridiculous.”
"The [Thousand-Year Artifact] is not something that just anyone can use. Only if you pass the necessary training and be recognized by the [Thousand-Year Artifact] can you have the slightest chance of wearing the [Thousand-Year Artifact], but even if you want to use it [Millennium Artifact] still requires hard work and training.”
"I am from a noble family, known as 'Nosy Kalim'. I have been practicing as a pre-selected user of the [Millennium Scale] in the [Millennium Artifact] since the time of my ancestor Pharaoh Aknamkanon, until a few years ago. Only after completing the training can I inherit the position of priest and the [Millennium Scale]."
Karim had a proud expression on his face when he spoke, and then he saw Hayato lift the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on his chest: "Really? But I put on the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] without even practicing for a day."
"you!"
Kalim was speechless for a moment. He pointed at Hayato and was speechless. He could only say "Humph": "Huh, in short, I don't believe that anyone will come to seize the [Millennium Artifact]. If you have the ability, let him show up now-" ——”
"boom!"
Before Karim could finish his words, a loud noise suddenly came from above the valley, and the Hot Sand Sphinx that had appeared in front of Hayato and Kaiba was suddenly knocked down from the sky and struck hard. It hit the ground, and at the same time an arrogant voice sounded: "Is this the Valley where the royal family sleeps? Hahahahahaha, your uncle Bakula is here to visit again!"
From the top of the valley, [Diabond], whose lower body is a white snake and whose upper body is a demon, spreads its wings and glides down from the sky. The loud voice standing on the snake's head is clearly the one who was scared away by Hayato before. Bakura.
Hayato's guess was correct before. After using the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] to learn the whereabouts of Karim and Isis, he really set his sights on these two independent [Millennium Artifacts]!
"Hot Sand Sphinx!" The moment the Hot Sand Sphinx fell to the ground, Maliku rushed over and lay beside it with a distressed expression, looking at the wounds on its body. The body that was as bright as the starry sky was scratched with wounds one after another from the attacks. A tongue hung out of the empty human face, and the Hot Sand Sphinx looked like it didn't know whether it was alive or dead.
"No, you don't want to die, Hot Sand Sphinx!" Maliku touched the body of the Hot Sand Sphinx, but the words that came out of his mouth were not the warmth he expected, "You are raised here, every day You eat so much meat that we, the tomb-keepers, want to eat meat but save it from between your teeth. If you die after eating so much meat, wouldn’t that meat be eaten by you in vain?”
"Don't die, Hot Sand Sphinx!"
"Okay, okay, that guy is fine. He just fainted after being thrown to the ground." Hayato glanced at the Hot Sand Sphinx and saw that although the wound was very shocking, it was not deep at all and was just a superficial wound. [Diabond]'s attack failed to kill the Hot Sand Sphinx, so it interrupted Malikul's soul cry, "What we have to do now is deal with that guy."
Hearing Hayato's words, Maliku also raised his head and glanced at [Diabond] who was heading into the valley and Bakura on top of it, and gritted his teeth and said: "You actually broke into the valley where the royal family sleeps, and you didn't bother me at all. The leader of the tomb-guarding clan takes it seriously."
"Look at my special move!"
Hearing Maliku's words, Isis glanced at him curiously: "Nirvana? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Oh, idiot, what kind of special move is the well-known one?" Maliku said, pointing to [Diabond] in the air, "Have you seen that Warcraft? The lower body of that Warcraft is a giant snake. legs, then we have to make full use of the advantages of having legs.”
"Faced with such a huge enemy, this is my special move"
Just when Isis thought what Maliku was going to do, he suddenly threw away the scepter in his hand and turned around: "Mud oils the road~"
"Idiot, that kind of enemy can't even compete with the Hot Sand Sphinx. How could we win? The eldest son of the Tomb Guard Clan is not the right one!"
