The proud look on Jonouchi's face made Yugi feel helpless.
But this is just a small matter after all, and it is not a bad thing for Jonouchi to get his gym back. Of course, celebrations can be held later, but the important thing now is to figure out why Atum must meet Jonouchi here at this time. Does this have anything to do with being able to see "City Tour" here?
However, Atum did not immediately explain the problem, but first asked the game: "AIBO, do you still remember how we met?"
"Ah, I will never forget this." Muto Yugi looked at his chest with some nostalgia. It was empty - if it had been a few years ago, there would have been a pure gold pendant hanging on his chest. That's right, "After I completed the 'Millennium Block', I made a wish to the block that 'I want friends', and then Atum, you appeared next to me..."
"Yes, after so many years, the connection between us no longer requires the 'Millennium Brick' as an intermediary." Atum also nodded nostalgically, "But it is indeed a blessing that we can meet for the first time." That’s the blessing of Millennium Building Blocks.”
"Um...why are you suddenly talking about this?" Jonouchi on the side was a little confused. His nose, which was certified by Kaiba as "more powerful than a dog", keenly captured the smell of dog food in the air, "But Yugi's The 'Millennium Brick' has indeed been popular for a while, and many people who imitated the original Duel King will buy similar pendants - of course they are all imitations."
"Huh? Haha, I didn't expect that everyone likes the shape of the 'Millennium Building Blocks' so much?" Yugi rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Naturally, he didn't care about these things. Although he was the "first generation Duel King" that attracted much attention, he The game itself pays very little attention to reputation, popularity, fans, etc., so naturally I have not paid attention to this aspect.
However, even if the game does not pay attention to or manage these things, as an "iconic decoration" that was carried every time the game played in the early days, the "Millennium Building Blocks" definitely attracted the attention of countless people - after all, such a big gold chain , even if the person wearing it is not a duel king, it is still eye-catching.
"Many people think that the 'Millennium Building Blocks' cannot be made of pure gold. Let's not mention the price. The weight alone is not something that ordinary people can bear." Jonouchi continued: "I remember the answer to this question. It was given by one of your wealthy American fans of the game. After he spent a huge amount of money to build a pure gold 'Millennium Brick', he found that hanging it around his neck felt like being hanged, so he wore it for a few minutes. Just took it off..."
"Hahaha." This time, Atum laughed instead, "Indeed, if it were just an ordinary gold weapon, it would be so heavy that it would strangle someone... However, this is exactly why I am calling you The reason why you came to the city."
"Um?" Jonouchi became increasingly confused. Could it be that he didn't provide the venue?
"First of all, let me clarify something: all thousand-year artifacts are pure gold." Atum looked at "Youcheng" in the distance, and his thoughts seemed to have returned thousands of years ago, when his uncle first made " "Millennium Artifact", "But, AIBO, you don't think the 'Millennium Building Block' is very heavy, right?"
"Well... that's true." Yugi nodded. Not only was the "Millennium Brick" not heavy, it could be said to be blown away by the wind - for example, in the airship battle in Duel City, the "Millennium Brick" would It was blown around by the airflow around the airship like an ordinary pendant. If it was really a pure gold pendant, with that weight, even if the game could hang it firmly around his neck, it would not be blown away by the wind. Blowing around everywhere.
"The reason why the 'Millennium Building Block' is not so heavy is because, like other thousand-year artifacts, it is not 'cast' but 'summoned'." Atum quietly exploded A big secret: "Book!"
Veins command was issued? A book suddenly appeared in the hand of Atum floating in the air. He opened the book with a heavy expression and showed it to Yugi and the others: "This is the book "Encyclopedia of Magic" in the Egyptian court's collection when I was still alive. "; By interpreting this book, we have established a school of black magic that is loyal to the royal family. The 'Black Magician' and the 'Black Magic Girl' are the proud students of this school; but the most dazzling time in this book? Nothing The question is about the time when the 'Millennium Artifact' was summoned."
Yugi and Jonouchi listened carefully to Atum's explanation.
"It is impossible to cast a thousand-year-old artifact according to the method in the book. The book explains how to sacrifice sacrifices, how to communicate with the gods, or how to inscribe runes? But it does not mention how to make the artifact. My memory tells me, When my uncle Akhnadi made the Millennium Artifact, he used a villager from a tomb-robbing village as a sacrifice to create the artifact..." Atum opened a page of the book and showed it to Yugi and Jonouchi: " AIBO, you should still have memories, right? Let’s go back to three thousand years ago..."
"Yes, I remember." Although thousands of years have passed, Muto Yugi still felt a little uncomfortable when mentioning this period of history: "The record is the village of 'grave robbers'? But I think it is probably just Ake. Is it an excuse that Nadi used to deceive himself?"
"Yugi, you?" Jonouchi looked at Yugi who said this calmly and felt that he seemed to have changed.
"In the city, don't be surprised, I am indeed not young now."
Although he still has a baby face and is not very tall, Muto Yugi's eyes are not childish - this made Jonouchi think that the Yugi in front of him is actually no longer young.
"Do human beings need excuses? Because people will only try their best when they do what they think is right. This has always been the case throughout the ages. If you ask soldiers to drop bombs on civilians' houses, they will not be willing, but if you In the name of God? He said that the soldiers were God's soldiers, and told the soldiers that if the people in the house were terrorists, they would be thrown away - even if the house was actually just ordinary civilians." Yugi's expression when saying these words It was calm, as if he had been used to it for a long time.
"..." Jonouchi looked at Yugi with a complicated expression, and then he sighed: "Duel King, can you see many different scenery?"
Reading with rice balls
"It's just a little more." The depression in the corner of Yugi's eyes melted away, and he returned to his original innocent look: "So Atum, I guess... your uncle didn't bring gold when he went to the place where the artifact was forged, right? ?”
"It seems that AIBO you also learned a lot during your time as Duel King."
Looking at the mature Muto Yugi, Atum showed a wry smile. He really didn't know whether such a change was good or bad: "That village does hide some tomb robbers, but they are not worthy of my uncle's direct execution. Extermination order... This question is not the point. The point is, as you guessed from AIBO, whether it is based on the records in the books or the behavior of Uncle Aknadi, there is no record of using a large amount of gold when casting the Millennium Artifact. .”
"Isn't that 'dark alchemy'? Or it can turn people into gold... No, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit unbelievable." Jonouchi pinched his chin and shook his head to deny his previous thoughts: "The enemy's army You’ve already taken advantage of me, can you make so much gold and give it to the enemy to rob?”
