Chapter 564: Millenniums-Old Tsundere
The Black Luster Soldier's sword light slashed down, and the priest Mahad wobbled back two steps, kneeling half-kneeling on the ground involuntarily.
The Black Luster Soldier's figure gradually became transparent until it disappeared from the field. Mahad knelt on the ground, bowed his head, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
His expression was very calm, maybe it should be more accurate to say depressed.
He lost throughout. The spirits he controlled were far less powerful than the legendary "Black Luster Soldier". As a duelist, he also lost a lot in terms of strategy and arrangement.
Mahad has read all kinds of magic books and has reached the pinnacle of black magic. He was known as the best magician in the country, and he was confident that he was the top magician in the world.
In addition, he is a priest who has received rigorous training and his soul has experienced thousands of tempers.
It should be his duty to protect the pharaoh and make the latter's dream come true, and it was the value and meaning of his own life. But now a cruel reality was placed in front of him.
That was, he was not strong enough.
Whether its Bakura, the current Pharaoh, or the warrior named Yuei Vu who suddenly appeared in front of him, their strengths are beyond the cognition of the priests so far.
Based on his strength, even if he burned out his soul, he might not really be a match for Bakura and the three Wicked Gods.
"Mahad."
The voice sounded from the side of the two. Mahad hurriedly got up and raised his head: "Lord Pharaoh?"
The person who came here was naturally Yami Yugi.
Joinouchi and the others were not here for the time being, as if they were being treated as distinguished guests, but Yugi Muto was inseparable from Yami Yugi's side.
Following them were the rest of the priests.
Mahad never expected that this ordinary exchange between them would turn out to be so earth-shattering. In particular, when the vests of the Black Luster appeared on the stage, there were lightning, thunder, and visions of heaven and earth. The light effects and sound effects were all full. Anyone who was not deaf and blind would notice it.
So the Pharaoh and the group of priests gathered here as a matter of course.
In fact, they had arrived one after another just in the middle of the duel, but seeing Yuei Vu and Mahad fighting fiercely and wonderfully, no one made a sound to disturb them for a while.
This duel was also really amazing for the duelists of ancient Egypt.
Two Yugis were calm because they had already experienced Yuei Vu's strength. Although they were a little surprised to see Yuei Vu summoning the Black Luster Soldier, other than that, they just nodded and said some phrases.
For example, according to the usual practice, Yugi Muto sighed with emotion, "Yuei Vu is getting stronger and stronger", and then Yami Yugi also replied "I have also become stronger" as usual.
But for the other priests, this confrontation really caused a storm in their hearts.
Fortunately, there was a precedent for the previous confrontation between the pharaoh and the bandit king, which made them a little psychologically prepared for this kind of super-level duel.
Priest Seto and Yuei Vu fought directly, thus he was not too surprised by his strength. On the contrary, Mahad's brilliant performance refreshed his cognition a bit.
"That guy Mahad, has he been hiding such a strong strength?" Seto thought to himself, "So I can beat him every time before because he deliberately goes easy on me?"
""
Hum!
Thinking of this, Setteton felt uncomfortable.
He felt like he was being slighted.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Pharaoh." Mahad knelt down on one knee, "I thought I could take down the Bandit King alone, but I wanted to act without authorization, but Lord Yuei Vu reminded me that I was too arrogant. I should not act without authorization, let alone hide something from Pharaoh.
Please punish me. "
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, as if letting go.
"Hmph, arrogance has always been a taboo for a priest, and it is absolutely unforgivable to conceal something from the pharaoh." It was the priest Seto who spoke, "Mahad, you have been tempered and tried hard anyway. One of the priests, since you have such a move, I think you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences, right?"
While speaking, Priest Seto also used the president's traditional art of "seeing people through the nostrils". The voice and language are so overpowering that Yuei Vu can imagine the president's appearance with his eyes closed.
But now Yuei Vu looked at him, and thought: The other points were fine, but President, do you really think that you have the right to say the words "arrogance" to others?
"Yes, I'm already mentally prepared." Mahad still didn't look up.
"Speaking of which, you were partly responsible for the bandit king's intrusion into the palace. I remember you were responsible for the guarding of the palace from the beginning, right? Are you guilty of such a big mistake?" Seto continued to be aggressive.
"Yes."
The rest of the priests also remained silent.
"It is reasonable to say that these crimes are enough to deprive you of your priesthood, and the Pharaoh himself will punish you, but it would be cheaper for you to do so." Seto said coldly, "That would be too easy for you.
The crimes you have committed must be redeemed by yourself. As a priest, you will clear the sins and obstacles of this country, sacrifice your blood and soul for the Pharaoh, and win the prosperity of our country. Only then can you pay for your sins! "
Yuei Vu: "?"
Mahad also looked up at Seto in surprise.
Priest Seto has always been at odds with him, and even his eyes when he usually looked at Mahad were cold as if he was ready to strike at any time if there was a disagreement.
But now Mahad felt that Seto was not as cold and unkind as he seemed to be.
Isn't this a pleading in a disguised form?
Is it an illusion? Or is there a problem with my own comprehension ability?
"Hmph." Seto turned his nostrils to the sky, and wrapped his arms around the Millenium Rod, "There must be something special about being selected as a priest, and it is not easy to find a decent priest, so let's leave you in this position first Its a way to deal with it.
After he finished speaking, he turned around, respectfully put his Millenium Rod across his body, and bowed to the Pharaoh on one knee.
"Pharaoh, in my own name, I suggest that it is better to keep Mahad's position as a priest for the time being, and allow him to make meritorious deeds."
Yuei Vu: ""
After talking so much, what you really want is to plead for mercy?
Even the few players who accompanied Mana to watch in the dark couldn't help but get uproarious.
As expected of President Kaiba!
Many people often say "such an old tsundere", but most of them just make fun of it. This statement may only be true if it was placed on the president, because he was a "true old tsundere".
Q: How old is it?
A: 3000 years old, as old as the Millenium Rod in his hand and the Millenium Puzzle hanging on Yugi's chest.
However, anyone who watched the amine knew that the president's pleading was really a waste of expression.
Because how could Yami Yugi be willing to really punish Mahad?
In fact, after recognizing Mana as a Dark Magician Girl, Yami Yugi quickly recognized this loyal priest Mahad was the one who has been by his side for three thousand years and accompanied him through countless experiences his ace monster "Dark Magician".
Of course, Yami Yugi would not pursue his waywardness.
"It's okay Mahad. Get up, this is not your fault." Yugi smiled.
"But Pharaoh"
Mahad wanted to say something more, but Yami Yugi had already reached out to help him.
"I understand your feelings, and I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart," he said, "but the Bandit King is my enemy, and it's my responsibility. As a Pharaoh, there are some enemies that I have to personally defeat, and some responsibilities that I have to bear by myself."
He looked at Mahad sincerely, looked straight into his eyes, and asked slowly: "Are you still willing to lend me your strength?"
He said this not only to Mahad, the NPC priest in the memory sandbox but also to the Dark Magician who has been with him forever for three thousand years.
Mahad hastily bowed his head: "Even if I have to go through hell!"
Yami Yugi smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder. His attitude was not like a master was treating his servants but like a close brother.
The scene was very harmonious for a time, except that Lord Pharaoh seemed to have forgotten something temporarily
Mahad helped him up himself, but the priest Seto, who knelt down and begged for mercy, still maintained that stiff posture at the moment, and he didn't dare to get up if the Pharaoh didn't speak.
The screwball players leaned forward and backward with laughter, and they were even dubbing and adding scenes to Setos inner thoughts.
"Seto: Fuck, can you master and servant talk later? My knee has gotten sore, and my back hurts!"
"Shocked! The reason for President Kaiba's rebellion in his previous life has been found, and the reason is that he fell out of favor."
