1.9·AM.11:30
There was a week of free time after the qualifiers. Judai ran out of his room early in the morning (10 o'clock) and started looking for new card games in this city of duels.
Jock, on the other hand, slept lazily until eleven o'clock before getting up and washing up. Then he yawned profusely and sat down at the table, taking out the card given to him by an inexplicable middle-aged man yesterday morning.
"There's no one else in the room right now, can we come and talk?"
After placing the card on the table, Jock said to the empty front: "I can see that there is a special spirit in this card, and there are often reports recently that the mysterious No. card affects the holder of the attack Others, if you can't explain this matter clearly, I can only treat you harmlessly just in case."
"Such as tearing it up, throwing it into the sea, burning it, or feeding it to dogs..."
Upon hearing this, a small and plump blue bird of paradise was so frightened that it flew out of the card.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Jock suddenly realized that he only understood the "eagle language" but not the "bird language".
Why can't this elf speak human language...
"Language proficiency", "Speech skills" and "Animal conversation" can allow him to communicate with this elf, but once Wang Jiang is called out to buff him, the bird will probably be scared back again, right?
Just when Jock felt at a loss, a horizontal-striped chestnut ball wearing cute pajamas jumped out of his deck.
“Coolie coolie (why is it so noisy)?”
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"Coolie coolie (Wow, new friend)!"
Probably because the opponent didn't seem to be a threat, the bird of paradise relaxed slightly and flew around the chestnut ball a few times curiously.
Not long after that, the two little birds quickly became familiar with each other, and Li Ziqiu even rode directly on the bird of paradise to temporarily experience the treatment of Gaia, the dragon knight.
Seeing the two little birds bumping around happily in the room, Jock always felt that he was being ignored, so he took advantage of the opportunity to express his goodwill to the Bird of Paradise and invited him to be a companion... He asked Li Ziqiu to act as a translator for him to find out the reason.
After asking this question, I realized that the monster card that this elf resided in actually came from another dimension. It was the embodiment of the memory of a supernatural entity in the astral world. After being messed with by a human boy with a hairstyle that looked like a lobster, I don't know why I got separated from my companions.
Jiao Ke was shocked. He didn't expect that these No. cards actually coincided with the settings of Z4. The DL created by that guy from Kaiba actually caused some overlap between the two time and space.
So does Kujiu Yuma and others exist in this world, or is it only the No. 1 monster that appears?
When he thought about what would happen if the world line of Z4 really merged here due to the confusion of time and space, Jock felt his head was about to grow big - could normal people really beat a con man?
You must know that there are thousands of main decks that can stably jump 1 SNo.0 on the opponent's turn. If monsters, magic, and trap effects are all unavailable, why do you still have to fight?
No, no, if you think about it carefully, SNo.0 is not a scammer’s card, so there should still be hope?
The problem is that the cheater doesn't know how to deal with cards, prints cards, and changes cards, but he still plays tricks on the opponent's deck!
…
In short, if the world line really goes that way, then we will find a way to form a group to fight the boss.
Putting aside for the time being the obstacle of "I can't get over it anyway, I might as well just ignore it for now", Jock also asked Kuriko Tadai to ask the Bird of Paradise some other information.
First of all, this card is indeed No. 49. If Jock was to translate the language of the astral world into Japanese, its name should be "No. 49-Secret Bird Furuta".
Take the meaning of No.+49 (homophonic dove) + secret bird + fate + chirp (onomatopoeia of dove and bird song).
If you look at the card picture, it seems that this card is based on the play "The Blue Bird" created by the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck:
Two children searched for a bluebird in order to cure the disease of the girl next door. After a series of events, they discovered that their own turtle dove was actually a bluebird, and finally cured their neighbor's disease.
This leads to the meaning of "happiness is around you, but it is meaningful only if you share happiness with others, and you will also gain happiness."
This is why the bird of paradise in the card picture looks like a turtle dove (dove), and it also holds a golden olive branch in its mouth.
Not only that, but even its effect is reminiscent of the story of "The Blue Bird" to a certain extent.
Speaking of effects…
"So the effect that prevents No. monsters from being destroyed by battle with monsters other than No. does not take effect in this world?"
According to the elf's own explanation, the common effect of No. seems to only take effect in their original world, and it loses this power after coming here.
But if it were in the "Starlight Realm" or a similar world where it originally lived, it should still be able to regain this part of the effect.
But Jock doesn't think it matters. In a sense, "not being destroyed by battle" is actually a very dangerous negative effect.
Do not believe?
Look at the invincible Sebadoragon next door!
People hope that you will not be destroyed so that they can be beaten twenty or thirty times in a row.
In addition, as for the reason why the No. card inspires the darkness in the holder's heart and makes them spontaneously pursue power, Bird of Paradise is not sure.
It is a bluebird that brings happiness to others, so how can it harm others?
Jock has some guesses about this. This may be due to the nature of the No. cards themselves - they are eager to reunite as one and return to their original owners.
"Okay 'Bluebird', I have the lingering scent of roses in my hands. If I have the chance, I will return you to your owner, but before that, you stay here with me."
If this card really fits the meaning of "Blue Bird", then there is no point in simply keeping it in your hand. Only by giving it to those who need it can it play a real role.
"Since we are already companions, it would be inconvenient not to have a title. From now on, I will call you... Feijiu."
Upon hearing this, Fei Jiu immediately flapped his wings to express his objection: "Chiu Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu!"
"If you don't understand, then just assume you agree."
"Woah~"
Probably seeing that Jiao Ke had finally finished investigating the information, Wang Jiang reappeared in form, lying on the bed and barking softly.
Feijiu was immediately frightened and ran back into the card.
"We have such a good relationship after we just met for the first time. Qiaoqiao, I'm angry. You only have three choices now!"
"First, throw this fat chirp over to me to eat!"
"Second, buy a pound of meat for me to eat!"
"Third, touch me!"
"Okay, hug, but Wang Jiang, how old are you and you still compete with a little bird for favor? Other people's dogs have been neutered long ago by your age."
"I don't want to go to the hospital! I still have a lot of girls I like!"
