Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

In a normal duel, even if you are killed by a direct attack of 4000 attack power in the last round, the most you will do is be knocked several meters away and fall to the ground.

Given the average physique of card players, even if they fall from a height of several meters, it would not be a big deal at all.

"Dr. Shia?"

As a result, when You Ling got closer to observe, he found that Xia had actually lost consciousness.

If I fall asleep in this kind of snow and ice, I'll be asleep forever.

In order to prevent anyone from getting killed while playing cards, You Ling quickly carried Xia back to the warm hut with a burning stove.

After being unconscious for about half an hour, Xia regained consciousness and opened his eyes again.

"What is this?" Looking at the familiar blanket covering herself, Xia also realized what was happening.

"I see, I lost. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, Yu Ling, Neeto."

Nate smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Didn't Dr. Xia carry both of us back here by himself?"

Of course you don't think it's a bother, since it's not you who's carrying that person.

But You Ling was also very concerned about the reason why Xia would fall into a coma and lose consciousness after the normal duel.

"Dr. Shia."

"You Ling, I know what you want to ask. In fact, this is not something that is easy to hide. What you just saw is the harm caused to the body by using the Synchro Dimension Dragon."

"Using the Synchro Dimension Dragon will be harmful to the body?"

This was the first time that You Ling heard that summoning a Duel Monster would endanger the Duelist himself.

"But I have used the Fierce Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon many times, and I didn't feel anything."

Both are dimensional dragons, but judging by their appearance alone, the Fierce and Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon is more terrifying and twisted, and looks more like it will counterattack the duelist himself.

However, it turned out that the Crystal Winged Synchro Dragon, which looked very decent, was harmful to Xia's body, as evaluated by Nite.

Nite said: "People's physiques cannot be generalized, You Ling."

That makes sense. Your words are full of wisdom. You don't deserve to be in Class E at all.

"Perhaps, it is really as Nite said, it is destined that you, You Ling, are the one who can control the power of the Dimension Dragon."

Restarting the Eye of the Elf, Dr. Xia drew the card of [Clear Wing Synchro Dragon] from the extra deck.

"But according to the agreement before the duel, this is also the last time for me to summon a dimensional dragon. Yu Ling, the card of the Synchro Dimension Dragon will be handed over to you from now on."

It is not a card of [Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon], but a card of [Clear Wing Synchro Dragon] before its evolution.

It seems that if You Ling wants to use the power of the evolved Synchro Dimension Dragon, he has to rely on the blessing of his own soul as a duelist.

It’s just printing cards. For You Ling, it’s already a piece of cake and it’s no big deal.

You Ling was thinking so easily in his mind, but when he actually took the card from Dr. Xia, he realized that he was still too young.

The huge and familiar malice and murderous intent once again invisibly attacked You Ling the moment his fingertips touched the card.

However, this time, the invisible hand did not directly strangle You Ling's throat as it did when the pendulum was summoned before, making it difficult for him to breathe and speak a word.

The invisible claw firmly grasped You Ling's wrist, as if trying to use this method to prevent You Ling from taking the Synchro Dimension Dragon's card.

The force was so great that it instantly left several shocking red marks from long, thin fingers on You Ling's wrist.

"no……"

Afterwards, You Ling heard again the elf-like and delicate voice of the girl with goat horns in that mysterious space before being transferred to the holy land of elves.

"Not yet. This world cannot move on."

"What are you talking about?"

He moved himself without permission, pinched his own neck, and grabbed his own wrists.

You Ling can't keep indulging this inexplicable thing.

Rather, when You Ling saw this thing appear again, he was filled with anger and had no way to vent it.

With his other hand, You Ling fiercely grabbed the claw that was holding his wrist and pulled it off forcefully.

"If you really have the ability, don't be sneaky, just stand in front of me openly!"

In order to vent his anger, You Ling gripped the invisible claw with increasing force.

It is no exaggeration to say that with You Ling's physical strength, he can easily unscrew the female ghost's crown.

Perhaps they did not expect that humans could have such power. The invisible claws that were tightly grasped by You Ling seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the energy dissipated.

You Ling also woke up as if from a dream and came back to his senses suddenly.

Everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion.

In reality, You Ling has already taken the card of [Clear Wing Synchro Dragon] from Xia.

"You Ling, you've been in a daze for a long time." Nette came over curiously.

As expected, from the looks of it, apart from You Ling himself and Hei Aisha, who was connected to the soul in the mind room, no one else could pay attention to the unknown malicious intent that would attack them inexplicably.

"It's okay. I was just thinking about something."

"Ever since you came here, Yurei, things have been a little strange. Well, but that doesn't matter!"

Nette's expression suddenly became serious.

"We've finished eating and playing cards, so we should start thinking about the most critical issue now!"

"The most critical question? Is there such a question?"

"Yu Ling, have you also been infected by Class E's idiot factor? What we should consider most now is, of course, how to get back!"

Because You Ling originally wanted to enter the holy land of elves and explore the secrets of this world, he subconsciously ignored this problem.

But how to leave the holy land of elves is what Neet is most concerned about right now.

"If we disappear so suddenly, the squad leader and the others will be worried to death!"

"You're right to be worried."

It's not just August and the others who will be worried. I promised Aisha and the others that I would go back in a week.

If he disappeared inexplicably like this, You Ling didn't dare to imagine how worried Aixia would be.

Black Aisha: "The other me will surely cry till the sky darkens."

Since Aisha herself (the dark side) said so, it must be correct.

"Dr. Xia, can we ask you how to leave the Holy Land of Elves?"

Xia had said before that besides him, there were also people who tried to live in the Holy Land of Elves, but they gave up in the end because of the unpredictable and harsh environment.

However, just from this point of speculation, it should be easy to leave the Holy Land of Elves without the trouble of being trapped.

"A way to leave the Holy Land of Elves? I can't really say there is a way, but once a year, the exit of the Holy Land of Elves will open for a day. Oh, yes, the entrance will also open once a year, but the time interval between the entrance and exit will be longer."

"It's only opened once a year?" You Ling suddenly realized that it was only opened once a year, and the pattern of the entrance and exit corresponded to something.

"Does this mean that the opening of the entrance and exit corresponds to the start and end of the three major college ranking competitions?"

"That's right. Even if the affinity with the elves is not high, the Holy Land will allow students to stay in the Holy Land and duel during that period of time."

"Wait, if I remember correctly, there is still a month until the three major colleges qualifying competition begins!"

During this month, the entrance to the Holy Land of Elves will not be opened, so You Ling and Nite can only stay here.

Stay here for a month, then wait for the college ranking competition to start, and then go to meet up with your third-year companions.

This seems to be the best and only option left for You Ling and Nite.

But You Ling began to have a headache about how to tell Aixia, who was still a sophomore, that he was safe.

After waking up from the transfer, You Ling has tried several times and confirmed that he is in the Holy Land of Elves. The connection with the external Millennium Bricks will be cut off, and there is no way for his soul to travel back to Aisha.

If we can’t even connect to the Millennium Brick, then I guess other means of communicating with the outside world will be even more useless.

Even after reuniting with Kema and Irena, two third-year students from Fu Sheng Academy, there was no way to contact Aisha outside the holy land.

So from Aisha's perspective, she would have been missing for nearly a year.

Black Aisha: "If it's a year, I can't guarantee that the other me will do something extreme. My intuition is that it will be terrifying."

Let alone intuition, You Ling felt extremely terrified just by thinking about it.

But right now, I can’t think of any effective solution.

"Um, Doctor, can Nate ask another question?" Nate raised her hand.

"You can ask questions, Nite." It can be seen that Dr. Xia also likes children very much. When communicating with Nite, he will occasionally match her lively tone.

But Xia probably didn't know that this guy was not a simple child, but just a female ghost.

"Doctor, you said that the Holy Land of Elves only opens and closes once a year. What if a student fails to leave on time and is forced to stay in the Holy Land? But his affinity with the elves is not high. What will happen then?"

The question asked by this little female ghost was unexpectedly tricky, and even You Ling hadn't thought about it.

Just this question, does it have any specific meaning now?

"As far as I know, there has never been a case where a student who entered the Holy Land of Elves did not have time to leave. But Nite, why are you asking this question?"

"I'm afraid that we will be like us, forcibly transferred to the holy land and unable to leave. We don't have a high affinity with the elves. Will we die if we stay there for too long..."

Well, I thought there was a great wisdom in Nite's question that even You Ling didn't notice. In the end, I was just worried about my own safety.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this problem." Dr. Xia smiled gently.

"I can sense that, Nite and You Ling, you two have a very high affinity for duel elves. It doesn't matter if you stay in the holy land forever."

"Huh, so that's how it is." Nite, feeling relieved, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there's no other problem for Nite. It's just a month, so Nite will just try her best to wait!"

"I do have a question for you guys," Xia said.

"You can ask questions, Doctor!" Nette answered excitedly.

"Why have you been talking about a month since just now? Is there something wrong with the time I recorded?"

"The recorded time is off?" You Ling raised his eyebrows lightly: "Dr. Xia, is that what you mean?"

Xia got up from the bed and opened the hand-painted calendar hanging on the wall.

"For researchers, the concept of time is very important. So I record the days I spend in the holy land in detail every day. If I follow my calendar..."

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Dr. Xia took out a pencil and crossed out the numbers marking today's date.

"According to my calendar, the day when the entrance to the Holy Land of Elves opens, which is also the date when the three major colleges' ranking competition officially begins, should be tomorrow."

“(⊙⊙)Tomorrow?!”

You Ling and Nite, who were facing each other in a depressed state, felt a sense of time dislocation for a moment.

You Ling felt that it took less than a day from Axis Academy to the Holy Land of Elves.

But Dr. Xia suddenly informed him that the qualifying competition of the three major colleges, which was originally supposed to be held in a month, would be held tomorrow.

Which perception is correct?

"You are so careless, Doctor. You must have made a mistake."

Nette smiled and shook her head. She was obviously a fool, but she had an inexplicable sense of confidence in a place like this.

"It's easy to miss things with a handwritten calendar like this. For example, you might skip a month. When Nate was writing her summer diary, she often made this kind of stupid mistake."

You Ling couldn't help but complain: "Don't compare your lazy behavior when doing homework with rigorous academic behavior!"

"No, maybe what Nette said is right."

On the other hand, Dr. Xia fully demonstrated the same humility and kindness as Yusei Fudo.

"I have lived alone in the Holy Land of Elves for too long, and I cannot guarantee that I will be like a machine and will not make 100% mistakes in recording. In fact, if you want to judge whether the record is right or wrong, you can wait until tomorrow."

After saying that, Dr. Xia looked at the snow drifting outside the window again.

"If next year is the time when the entrance to the Holy Land of Elves opens once a year, the surrounding environment should also change accordingly."

"It turns out that the time when the environment changes corresponds to the time when the entrance opens."

You Ling also looked at the blizzard that intensified as night fell, along with Dr. Xia.

Assuming that when you wake up tomorrow, you can no longer see this snowy world, it means that You Ling and Nite have really jumped a month in time.

"It's getting late. I'm sure you must be very tired after a long day. Let's wait until tomorrow to make a decision."
