Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

"Better than those guys before?"

"It's the previous chairmen who came to me shortly after taking office."

"But it disappeared again not long after. No one was willing to take me away from here."

"Oh, by the way, I have something for you."

"what?"

"I don't know either. This was left behind by the previous directors."

"'Give it to your true partner once you have found him. But before that, don't open it.' That's what they said."

"If you really want to... take them."

A stack of envelopes appeared in Midrash's hands at some point. The opening of each envelope was sealed tightly with wax, and the name of the writer was specially marked in beautiful cursive script on the side.

The top one was clearly addressed to 'Afilia Prada', and at the bottom of the envelope were the names of all the successive presidents of the Shenghua Council.

Midrash held the stack of envelopes in both hands and carefully handed them in Youxian's direction.

She was clearly just delivering something to You Xian, but she seemed extremely nervous at this moment.

"Ok?"

You Xian glanced at her, and under her expectant gaze, he stretched out his hand and took the thing in her hand.

"Leave it to the successor - Efilia."

"I believe Xiaomi will not break the agreement she made with us, so since you can see this letter, it means you must be the one chosen by Xiaomi."

"I don't know which successor of Shenghua you are. Although I don't know whether Shenghua has weakened by then, since you can get Xiaomi's recognition, it at least means that you have defeated her."

"In this case, you should also have the power to protect her."

“After all, the power of Midrash is not very strong, but it is not weak either.”

"I don't want to talk too much here, and I guess you don't have much interest in reading my letter."

"But no matter what, I have to warn you, if you accept Xiaomi, you must be responsible for her."

"You absolutely, absolutely cannot abandon her. This is the price you pay for accepting her, and it is also your responsibility."

"We also want to take her away from this place, but we also know that even if we take her away, she will most likely just sit on the bench."

"We don't think that's a good thing for a card elf."

"So we can't do that and let her wait here for someone who is really right for her."

"And we also believe that sooner or later she will wait for the right person for her, that is, you in front of the envelope."

"So, you won't disappoint us, right?"

Moving away the envelope with Efilia marked on the top, You Xian looked at the next one.

In the end, he found that the messages left by these people were similar. Most of them first expressed their regret and reluctance for not being able to take Midrash away from here, and then "warned" the successors who would obtain Midrash in the future.

Why shouldn't she be abandoned? Why shouldn't she be made to feel lonely?

The difference in content was not that big, but You Xian still read them all one by one.

It is worth mentioning that almost all the letters refer to Midrash by the somewhat overly intimate name of "Millet".

It also mentioned some of the things they did for Midrash, such as running around the world looking for new cards to strengthen Xiaomi.

These people have done almost everything, including going to the sky, the sea, and even breaking into the dark duelist's lair.

After You Xian read through all the letters, he gently closed the letter in his hand and rubbed his slightly tired eyes with his hands.

Huh? What is this... Is Midrash the hidden mascot of Shenghua? And everyone keeps her as a pet, especially those who help her find cards...

Is this the kind of cat slave who searches the world for food for his cat master?

He thought for a moment, then let out a sigh.

"Well... Regarding this thing, I actually think it's necessary to show it to you."

"Although they wrote in the letter that they don't want you to see it, I still think you have the right to know."

As he said this, he handed the stack of opened letters in his hand in the direction of Midrash.

Midrash stared at Youxian's eyes seriously until he shook the stack of papers in his hand again and urged her, then he took the letters.

She carefully unfolded the page and focused her eyes on it.

The Midrash quickly turned the pages of the letter, as if to confirm something, and turned the pages back and forth in a panic.

"This is..."

Her expression gradually began to change. You Xian had never seen such a complicated look on anyone before.

A mixture of regret, sadness, pain, joy, excitement, countless different emotions emerge in the Midrash.

You Xian stood quietly beside her, and waited until Midrash finally calmed down before speaking: "They never forgot you, nor did they abandon you."

You Xian shook his head gently, then turned his body back.

"I'll leave all those envelopes to you. I think it's better for you to keep those things."

"Um..."

Midrash nodded slightly, and then all the pages in her hand disappeared, and no one knew where they were hidden.

"Well, it's getting late now, and it's time to go back to the school building."

You Xian glanced outside the church. It was still pitch dark there. He knew that there was still a long time before dawn.

"I have to go and question those disobedient professors tomorrow, so I can't go to bed too late."

Eleanor and Midrash certainly had no objection, in fact Eleanor was feeling a little sleepy now.

What happened tonight was really too exciting for her, and she also had a fierce duel with Midrash, which also consumed a lot of her energy.

Now that everything was over, fatigue gradually surged over her body.

She was eager to get back to her room and get some sleep.

However, when she tried to push the church door that had been closed at some point, she found that the door seemed to be fixed together and did not move at all.

"what happened?"

You Xian walked to her side and tried pushing the church door as well, but still to no avail.

"How could this be?"

He glanced around his surroundings.

You Xian walked slowly on the stone road, and the dull footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

The dim lights around them shone on the marble floor, reflecting the dim light and their figures.

The lamps on the towering arched dome swayed slightly in a tiny arc, allowing Youxian to vaguely see the transparent stained glass windows near the dome.

Everything seemed so normal, exactly the same as when You Xian first came here.

However, in the next moment, a drastic change suddenly occurred here.

As if there was an earthquake, the lamps suddenly began to shake violently, making strange creaking sounds.

The stained glass windows were shattered by the piercing sound, and even the marble on the ground had discordant cracks.

They continued to extend forward, all the way to the deepest part of the church.

The surrounding statues and murals are covered with dense 'spider webs'.

Just at this moment, this place fell into the brink of destruction.

"My...my home."

Midrash took two steps back in disbelief, and then her heart was filled with anger and pain.

Even though she has been trapped in this place, it doesn't mean she wants it to be destroyed.

After all, this place carries her hundreds of years of past. Even if she is leaving here now, she still regards this place as her "home".

But now, she didn't even have time to stop or resist, and more than half of her home was destroyed.

No, she had completely lost her home.

Her home... was destroyed.

"Who is it?"

Sadness and anger tightly wrapped around her, and she was eager to know who the murderer was. No matter what, she had to punish the murderer.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie."

"Are you looking for me, little doll?"

The strange man's voice continued to echo in the half-ruined church, making everyone present feel a little uncomfortable.

It was difficult for Youxian to describe that sound. If he had to say it, it was a bit like the voice of a crow, which sounded particularly discordant.

Then, a man in a black robe appeared opposite them.

His entire body was hidden under the wide black robe, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

It is worth mentioning that there is a ring emitting red light on the index finger of his exposed right hand. If you look closely, you will find that in the center of the ring is actually a scarlet single eye.

At this moment he was emitting an extremely terrifying aura, and it was obvious that he was the culprit who had just made the noise and destroyed the church.

"you--"

Midrash subconsciously wanted to take action, but after feeling the terrifying pressure from the man in black robes, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Her intuition told her that this was no opponent she could defeat.

But she didn't want to back down like this, because this was the man who destroyed her family. Besides, was it really possible to back down in this situation?

It was obvious that the guy was coming for them, there was no way he would let them go like that.

Subconsciously, she turned her gaze in the direction of You Xian.

Can he... help me? Can I... trust him this time?

Eleanor was more flustered than she let on, this was her first time really facing off against a Dark Duelist, so she even spoke incoherently.

"Could it be that this is... a dark... duelist?"

After noticing their reactions, the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared nodded with satisfaction.

"How is it? Are you scared? Are you scared of my invincible Toucan-sama?"

"But that's normal. After all, you're just a piece of trash who was defeated by a master duelist. It's natural for you to be afraid of me."

At this moment, You Xian, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "How...stupid! I didn't bother you first, but you bugs hiding in the sewers actually dared to come in front of me."

“And now, you even dared to destroy Xiaomi’s home and this church.”

"I think you are courting death."

"Soon you will know what true despair is. I will let you sink completely into darkness and make you feel the deepest pain."

"You will regret being born into this world."

"Let's begin our real dark game."

He twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile on his face.

Chapter 40 Are you joking at this moment?

"Ah? You are joking at this moment."

The man who called himself Toucan was stunned by You Xian's "initiative".

Shouldn't this guy be irritated by me next, and then I will take the initiative to start a dark duel?

Why does it look like the opponent is going to tear me apart with a dark duel? Aren’t I the invader?

Why does it seem like there is a reversal of identities?

"What? Are you scared? Well, after all, I'm just a mouse hiding its head and showing its tail. It's not surprising that you're afraid of me."

You Xian took out the card box with the scarlet seal from his inner pocket and pulled out some cards from it.

This duel cannot be lost, so he must use his true strength, even if that strength is not complete enough.
