Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Ignoring the suspenseful process, Seth, who took the initiative to ask Hayato to fight with him, was still defeated.

Watching Seth take back the few stone elves he had defeated, Hayato also raised his hand, and the starry sky dragon behind him dissipated without stopping, as if he was afraid that Hayato would play with him like last time.

"The strength that is comparable to that of a god, is that the original level?" Recalling the details of the battle just now, Seth's face did not show frustration because of the defeat, but instead showed a look of finding the goal of struggle. And a very excited and confident smile, "Compared to last time, I can see the direction to become stronger more clearly. Next, I just need to ignore the obstacles on the road and move forward."

As long as you become stronger, you can have the power to protect everything, and there is no problem with making a little sacrifice for this.

At the same time when the battle between the two was over, a person walked up to the two not far away, and while approaching, he greeted from a distance: "Priest Seth!"

When Seth heard the words, he turned his head and saw a bright bald head: "Xia Da? Why did you come here?"

The visitor is Shada Xin, one of the five priests who currently holds the [Millennium Artifact]. After a dispute between the two priests Seth and Kalim in the palace, the Dark Game, in order to appease the two for the time being, let them go. Shada and Seth came together to take charge of the security work of the royal city.

"Shouldn't it be up to me to ask you about this, Priest Seth." Unlike the silence and restraint in the palace, Shada, who was not in front of the pharaoh but in front of Seth, was a little relaxed and casually. He said, "Before you said you were going to gather the troops and let me wait for you, but as soon as you left, you didn't come back. Why don't I come here to see what's going on with you."

"As soon as I came here, I saw that you were defeated again." Xia Da said, stunned for a moment.

Huh?Why do I say "again"?
"Oh, this is not a defeat, it's just the necessary tempering that you must go through to gain experience." It was obvious that he lost, but the reason Seth made up sounded quite like the truth. Shrugged and said nothing.

Since there are six [Millennium Artifacts] in addition to the [Millennium Cone], which symbolizes kingship, there are only six priests holding the [Millennium Artifact].However, even though there are only six priests, they are still divided into two parties for their own reasons.

Mahad is a friend of Isis. In general, she will stand on Mahad's side of course, and Seth was almost promoted from the bottom by Akhenate, and naturally she is on his side. From this, two factions naturally formed because Seth was always looking for trouble with Mahad.

Among the remaining two priests, Kalim didn't like Seth's arrogant and domineering attitude, and admired Mahad, who was simple and not too fussy, while Xia Da admired the former generation. Akhenate, the priest of the pharaoh, was relatively close to Seth.

The leaders of the two parties, Seth and Mahad, did not actually have the self-consciousness to draw a line in the priesthood. Seth simply wanted to prove that he was better than Mahad, and Mahad only It is an indisputable fact that he wants to be loyal to the pharaoh and do things for the pharaoh, but the fact that the priests are divided because of the two is an indisputable fact.

...

When Mahad was alive, everything was fine. This potential division was not superficial, but after Mahad sacrificed himself yesterday and caused one person to be missing from the priesthood, the undercurrent that had never subsided before poured into Ming Dynasty. face.

Among the priests, the eldest, Aknadi, did not have much ambition. As always, he simply supported Seth, but the second-oldest priest, Kalim, had his own mind.He admired Mahad's conduct before, so even if Mahad had the title of "the strongest priest" and was vaguely the leader of these priests, he had no problem.

But now after Mahad's death, Seth seems to have planned to become the "strongest priest" and become the leader. So why should it be his Kalim's turn, where's your turn to be a kid from Seth?
This led to the dispute in the palace. Of course, Kalim himself did not support the idea of ​​Seth's proposal, but at a deeper level, it was inevitable that Seth wanted to block him.

Among the current five priests, priest Aknadi has not yet recovered from his serious injuries, and priest Isis's [Millennium Jewelry] has lost the power to foresee the future for some reason, and because of Mahad's death, he has no intention to do anything, and is active. In reality, the only priests were Karim, Seth, and Shada.

Among the four young men in the priest group, Xia Da's ability was not as good as Mahad and Seth, but stronger than Isis, which made him the least conspicuous and mediocre of the priests. In addition, his own character is also somewhat peaceful, not fighting or fighting, but now after Mahad's death, he has become a buffer-like role between Kalim and Seth.

Although I don't know much about Seth's character, the dark game used the character of Seto Kaima as a reference, although I knew that there was a big difference between the two—for example, Kaima, the dead arrogant girl, would never Thanks to the people -- but the overall personality shouldn't be much different.

Worried that Seth would be too tough when he was in charge of guarding the royal city and would cause trouble for the people, while Isis and Kalim were arranged as a group, Shada was also arranged by Dark Games and Seth. Together, help him to take charge of the vigilance work of Wangcheng and neutralize possible troubles.

In fact, his vision of the dark game is really not bad. Today is the first day that the two are in charge of the Wangcheng security work, and even before the specific work has officially started, Xia Da saw Seth, who had agreed to dispatch troops to make himself wait, actually dragged the opponent to a duel ceremony because he met someone on the side of the road. It was too willful.

After looking at Hayato, Xia Da also said hello: "Hello, if I remember correctly, you should be Hayato Kobayashi. We met the day before yesterday."

Of course, Hayato also remembered Shada. The night before Bakula attacked the palace, Kalim and Shada brought Aknadi back to the palace after he fell unconscious. The two also met at that time, but they didn't communicate much. It's over.

But even though he didn't say two words, in fact, to Hayato, it was neither Kalim nor Akhenate, but Shada in front of him was the one who impressed him the most.

...

——No way, even though it was night, under the light of the surrounding fire, Xia Da's bald head shone like a light bulb, it was hard for Hayato not to be impressed.

"Listen to what you said just now, Priest Shada and Seth, will you be responsible for the city's security work?" Hayato asked curiously. The answer to this question is actually related to what he will do next. Intend.

Xia Da did not shy away, nodded calmly and said, "That's the case. At present, my preliminary discussion with Priest Set is that I will be responsible for the small but strictly guarded areas around the palace and temple, and Priest Set is the Dispatch troops to take charge of larger residential areas in the city and other places."

"The incident of the thief Bakula is already a humiliation for us priests, so we must be more careful and responsible, and we must not let the thief break into the royal city for the second time." After a pause, Xia Da With a little sadness, he said, "In this way, Priest Mahad cannot but let his sacrifice be in vain."

Both young people, in fact, apart from Seth, the relationship between Xia Da and Mahad is actually not bad. Mahad's death also made Xia Da very sad.

"On this point, do you think that you are only optimistic about the city, even if Mahad's sacrifice is not in vain, Xia Da?"

After hearing Shada's last words, as if he remembered something, Seth suddenly said to him, "No matter how tight the city is, the two of us are just inheriting Mahad's original responsibilities. It's just dereliction of duty, what makes his sacrifice not in vain?"

"To really make Mahad's sacrifice of the greatest value, shouldn't we take the initiative to take the initiative to deal with the unknown Bakula!?"

"It's useless for you and me, Seth." Looking at Seth who was a little excited, Shada said with a helpless expression, "You have already been with Priest Kalim about this matter before. After the quarrel, the reason why Pharaoh had to suspend his decision was his concern."

After a pause, Xia Da glanced at the [Millennium Key] in his hand, "Furthermore, if that Bakula is still alive, it means that he must have also obtained Mahad's [Millennium Wisdom Wheel]. We can't compete with it, and now we're probably even less likely to be his opponents."

Hearing Xia Da's words, Seth's face was a little unsightly because he was exposed to the fact that he had been avoiding it in his heart.Even if he is proud, he has to admit that what Xia Da said is right. Even if he has seen the more powerful strength with the help of Hayato, he is still not that Bakula if there is no way to improve. opponent.

unless
A thought that was once abandoned by himself resurfaced. Thinking that he now has the power to manage the city's public order under the authorization of the pharaoh, Seth couldn't resist the idea of ​​implementing his thoughts in reality. He couldn't help but said to Xia Da. : "Speaking of which, Xia Da, your [Millennium Key] has the power to see the monsters in people's hearts, right?"

"That's right." Xia Da nodded, not knowing why Seth suddenly asked himself this, "The desires and evil thoughts in people's hearts will turn into monsters, driving them to commit crimes, and the power of the [Millennium Key] can be Open people's minds to see what's going on inside, and naturally, they can see whether there are monsters entangled in people's hearts."

...

When Seth heard what Xia Da said, he turned his head and looked into the city in the distance: "Then Xia Da, I want you to use the [Millennium Key] to explore the hearts of the people in the city and find people with powerful spirits in their hearts. "

"What!? Stop talking nonsense, Seth!"

Xia Da was stunned when he heard Seth's words, and then said nervously and anxiously: "Do you know what you are talking about? As priests, we should use the power of the [Millennium Artifact] to protect the people. How can you use power on innocent people!"

"Hmph, then let me ask you, are we just going to watch Bakula use the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] to increase his evil thoughts to become stronger and more difficult to contend with? Or do you want to rely on the pharaoh's call again? Can the power of the gods quell the riots by taking risks?"

In the face of Xia Da's questioning, Seth also refused to let him argue, and instead asked, "What do you think is the only way to let Mahad sacrifice in vain?"

Xia Da was at a loss for words.In the end, let the pharaoh be in danger, or use the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people, which choice is correct?He couldn't answer Seth's question, and in distress, he couldn't help but move his eyes to Hayato next to him.

"I-I don't know."

Hayato looked at Shada being a little speechless when asked by Seth, and shook his head.In his view, Seth's starting point is good and his concerns are correct, but the method used is wrong and completely put the cart before the horse.This is so similar to someone who created the [Millennium Artifact].

"You made a mistake, Seth."

Hearing Hayato's voice, Set also turned his head to see what Hayato wanted to say.

"You said that you want to use the power of the [Millennium Key] to the people to see if there are powerful elves, this is really stupid, don't you think that just one person can find in the hearts of people who have been more trained and trained than you, Is the spirit in the heart of a priest whose will is far superior to that of ordinary people, a more powerful existence?"

Hayato folded his arms around his chest and talked eloquently: "Impossible, the average person can find some fish-like monsters in their hearts. It is already the limit, and it is even a problem to compete with the powerful slate elves collected by the priests. , let alone fighting with [Diabond], a power close to God. Blindly using [Millennium Key] on the people will only be a waste of time and the energy of Priest Shada.”

"I don't want to be too rude, you should give up."

Hearing Hayato's words, Seth didn't say anything but showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was a little persuaded.Before Hayato mentioned it, he really didn't expect this, and he was completely dazzled by his obsession with power.Thinking about it now, Hayato Kobayashi is right, why would he think about using the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people?

"That's what I meant, um." Seeing that Seth seemed to be persuaded by Hayato, Xia Da quickly agreed with Hayato.However, he also wanted Hayato to ask, "But, if we don't use the [Millennium Key], wouldn't we be able to become stronger and have to rely on Pharaoh again to take risks?"

"I didn't say that Seth was wrong. Of course, the [Millennium Key] still has to be used." Hayato said, pointing to himself, "Instead of wasting time on ordinary people who are destined to gain nothing, it is better to directly choose some potential ones. people to try."

"I've long wanted to know what kind of elves can awaken in my heart. Bring it up quickly, I can't wait."
