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

But he didn't say much to Firkin. He just waved at the hesitant Firkin and Novia, and then took the lead to step on the giant dragon standing on the ground.

"Come on, it's time for us to set off."

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to fly at high speed in the air on a dragon, but considering that the average physical fitness of high-level duelists exceeds that of humans, there is nothing to worry about.

Don't ask. If you're asking, you don't need to worry too much about the duelists' affairs.

As the 'passengers' were ready, the White World Lost Dragon, which had become Yuxian's dog, soon rose slowly from the ground, carrying the 'evil guests' to the sky city that many people longed for.

On the dragon's back, You Xian used his magic and elf power to form a not-too-strong barrier. He leaned on the dragon's cold scales and glanced at Firkin not far away:

"So, now can you tell me what's going on? What's your problem with Phyllis?"

"..."

There was no immediate answer, and You Xian thought Firkin might have some concerns, so he added as if he had thought of something:

"Oh, if you don't want Novia to hear it, you can also send it to me via text message. Anyway, since you already need my help, you have to tell me the whole story."

You Xian likes to take action after understanding all the information. If possible, it is best to have everything under his own control.

The fact that he was willing to set off immediately before Firkin made things clear showed that he attached great importance to Firkin's performance - who wouldn't attach importance to a tool man of this level?

Oh, maybe we have to exclude Mr. Emperor Penguin who has gone crazy.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Firkin, who was wearing a golden mask, finally shook his head:

"No need to, those are just past events that don't need to be taken seriously, it doesn't matter if you talk about them."

Although he said this, You Xian could clearly feel that his fingers were still trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was not as calm as he said.

"I... used to be a relative of Phyllis, and our relationship wasn't too bad..."

When he said "the relationship is not too bad", his tone was obviously not right.

Even without thinking too much, You Xian could guess that the truth was not that simple.

"Relatives? Sisters? Brothers? Brothers? Sisters?"

When Filkin mentioned the word 'relatives', these four relationships immediately came to his mind.

Firkin didn't give him a very big impression, and according to the records, Phyllis was also a very young chairman, so Youxian was more inclined to believe that the two were of the same generation.

Of course, if they are distant relatives, it is not impossible that there is a generation gap.

However, Youxian's question did not receive an answer from Firkin. He simply changed the subject in a very clumsy way:

"...Anyway...Anyway, she was pretty normal from the beginning. She got along well with most people and was quite caring towards me."

"But then, things changed after she became the chairman."

At this point, Firkin's tone became serious:

"She became cruel, selfish, and malicious. In order to achieve her own goals, she could trample on the rules at will, ignore other people's feelings, and even take other people's lives."

"I was also a member of the Pendulum Academy at that time, and I almost witnessed the process of her becoming worse and worse."

"So that's why you rebelled against the Pendulum Academy and became a Dark Duelist?"

You Xian, who had a feeling that something bloody was about to happen, frowned and asked with a strange look on his face.

This relative turned into a villain at the speed of light. Could this be some kind of family ethics farce?

But I didn't expect that Filkin was actually a student of the Pendulum Academy in the past. Now he really uses the skill draw and command to summon the pendulum. What a new concept of pendulum.

But Firkin shook his head: "No, it's not like that, and it's not that simple."

"I didn't believe in people like her at first. Although I heard a lot of rumors, I still had a lot of doubts in my heart, so I planned to investigate her secrets myself."

At this point, Firkin let out a long sigh of melancholy. He lay on the dragon's back, gazing at the azure sky and slowly recalling the past:

"After I made up my mind, I started an operation called investigation, which was actually tracking her. However, just as I started, I found her at the scene of the 'suicide' of two students from the Pendulum Academy, whose cause of death was later officially announced as 'suicide'."

"She was standing at the door of the classroom and her attention was clearly focused on the bodies of the two students who had committed suicide."

"At that time, she did not immediately notify the campus security team, nor did she investigate the abnormality of the body. She just watched the scene quietly, holding her deck in her hand, and put a few cards into her deck."

Looking at the rapidly changing scenery around him, You Xian slightly moved his wrists twice: "Do you think Phyllis killed them?"

"I don't know what she did, nor do I know why those students who died of 'suicide' by stabbing themselves in the back died, but I know very well that she is a big suspect."

"But according to what you said, she was already the chairman of the Pendulum Academy at that time. Why would she attack two ordinary students?"

You Xian had also heard about what Firkin said, but according to the "rumors" that You Xian heard, Phyllis used her power to force two students to death, and there was no mention of the scene where Phyllis put cards into her own deck.

Of course, rumors are just rumors after all and cannot be regarded as the truth.

At least You Xian didn't think that any crazy chairman of the Duel Academy would attack the students of his own academy, because that would be a bad thing with no benefits but only harm to them.

Oh, we still have to rule out the crazy emperor penguin. His brain is no longer normal. It is impossible to run the Duel Academy well if we are with this kind of insect.

However, Firkin shook his head again:

"Generally speaking, that's true, but unfortunately, there was a rumor circulating in the academy at the time that the two students each had a rare card, so..."

"Do you think she coveted the rare cards in the hands of those two students, so she took action herself?"

"That means we have a motive and witnesses, and her behavior is definitely suspicious enough."

You Xian, who was slightly interested, raised his head slightly.

However, if all this is true, then Phyllis is too narrow-minded. For two cards, she personally went out to murder two students from her own Duel Academy...

After all, the chairman's base is still her own Duel Academy. She doesn't even value the students of her own academy and even regards them as beasts of burden. How can she possibly gain the respect of the people of the Pendulum Academy?

Moreover, as the chairman of the Pendulum Academy, the powerful cards that Phyllis can access must be far beyond other people's imagination. How could she attach so much importance to the two cards in the hands of the two students?

Even if we take a step back... Phyllis can just ask someone to make a deal with the two students, right? She doesn't even need to take the initiative to show up.

"Yes, that's what I thought at the time, so I planned to leave the scene first and then make plans."

When mentioning the word "planning", Firkin's tone became much heavier.

"But... I was discovered. My hiding position was too poor to escape her sight. When I was about to leave, she caught me."

"But you didn't die at her hands."

"Yes, at that time, although she started a dark duel with me without saying anything and defeated me easily, she probably still had a trace of humanity in her heart so she didn't kill me. Instead, she immediately used the dark duel to wake me up after the duel."

He stood up from the dragon's back and gently stroked the golden mask with his right hand, as if he was reminiscing about something.

"I questioned her why she would do that, and at that point I still couldn't understand or accept that she would do such a thing."

"But she told me that 'the strong must ruthlessly humiliate the weak', and then she said that I was too weak at the time and didn't even deserve to die in her hands."

"So she will wait for me, wait for me to become strong enough one day to take my life, so that she can feel the incomparable climax satisfaction between life and death, which is enough to please her."

"Phyllis thinks that before death really comes, I must struggle until I am qualified to stand in front of her."

"In order for me to 'grow' as quickly as possible, it is not enough to just stay in the Garden of Eden like the Duel Academy and slowly become stronger. I must always feel the threat of life and death..."

"So, the next day, in addition to announcing the 'suicide' of the two students, I was also recognized as a 'Dark Duelist' by the Pendulum Academy."

"Not only that, when I woke up the next day, there was a golden mask on my face that I couldn't take off, and there was a note next to it."

"The general meaning of the note is... now, abandon your past, identity, and name, and embark on the road of revenge that is doomed to fail."

"So this is how you got your identity as a 'Dark Duelist' in the first place?"

This was indeed something You Xian had never expected. He had just been wondering whether Filkin became a dark duelist because of this incident and turned "evil", but now it seems that it was the "officials forcing the people to rebel" instead.

"But since you've already gained 'freedom', even if Phyllis sent you a message, you don't have to rush to fight her to the death, right? You can take your time to take revenge."

"I am unwilling to accept it. Not only am I unwilling to accept my own powerlessness, but I am also unwilling to accept that I cannot 'save' Phyllis."

"After that I was sure that she was beyond help, but I still needed to 'save' her."

"If the only way to 'save' her is to send her to death."

"Phyllis, it's time for me to save you."

"I can't delay any longer. The message she gave me is not only about a 'fight to the death' with me, but also a threat to me. If I don't show up by then..."

=====================Dividing line====================

In the bedroom of a mansion, a person was sitting quietly in front of a wooden table.

With the passage of time, the room has become a little shabby and dilapidated, and the air is filled with an old smell mixed with wood and mold, which is the trace left by the years in the air.

The wallpaper on the wall has turned yellow and has even fallen off in some places, revealing the original wall underneath. The once bright patterns have now become blurred, and only the shadows of the past can be vaguely seen.

Looking at the information she just got, Florence fell into deep doubt:

"Pendulum Academy? Why would they go there? And bring that sacrifice with them..."

"If you really want revenge just for the reason that guy gave, is it necessary to bring the sacrifice along?"

Yuxian's Shenghua is indeed still lacking some capable duelists, but as long as Yuxian wants, he can directly entrust the "sacrifice" to the Synchro Academy or the Hyperion Academy. There is no need to carry it with him at all times.

"Is it a conspiracy?"

Florence thought again of the relationship between You Xian and the other directors, and her suspicions grew more and more serious.

Youxian can be so close to the Synchro and Xyz academies, so why can't it have such a relationship with the Pendulum academy?

It's possible that Youxian's purpose of this trip was to use the "sacrifice" to lure Florence to that place, and then set a trap with the chairman of the Pendulum Academy to capture him.

But this possibility is not very high... There is no record of Phyllis in all the information of Youxian. Moreover, the Pendulum Academy and Shenghua have never had any special relationship, even during the most critical period of Shenghua.

So this is all just a coincidence?

Florence, with her red hair, put down the materials in her hand, but she couldn't help feeling conflicted.

The sacrifice must not be thrown away. The body is already very close to perfection. All we have to do now is get it and make some "modifications" before we can use it for the final step of the plan.

If he gave up on that material and started cultivating it from scratch, it would waste too much time. He still had a lot of things to do and couldn't waste all his time on this.

Go for it! Go for it! It's just a loose string! Florence is going to fight the last damn battle now!

Whether he really wanted to conduct a "trial" on Phyllis as he said, or wanted to use this excuse to expand his own power, as long as they had a conflict, Florence would have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Even if they have really joined forces, as long as he is careful enough and hides deeply enough, it is very likely that he can deceive Youxian and the chairman of the Pendulum Academy.

Anyway, his purpose is just to take away the sacrifice. If he is lucky enough, he may not even need to initiate a head-on conflict with Youxian.

Thinking of this, Florence secretly made her own decision.

Bald eagle, daddy is here to kill you.

Florence, who had personally given the name 'Novia' to the white-haired girl, finally smiled grimly.

Yes, isn't the best material his own daughter? She is the most similar and perfect sacrifice.

I'm stuck, but this is the last day off this month.

Every time there is a new plot, I want to come up with some new routines and developments, and the same goes for the Pendulum Academy.

I had decided in advance to use a template similar to Snowstorm Manor with some card games interspersed in between (so the protagonist would be the "Inquisitor").

But I was stuck right at the beginning. Although I have some ideas for the subsequent plot, I still have trouble writing it...

Sorry, let me think about it. You don’t want the author to have no ideas, so just write it.jpg

Chapter 211 It must be that woman!

Riding on the giant dragon that represented death and abyss, You Xian took several days to approach the city above the sky.

As Youxian got closer, a sky city suspended above the sky slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The city is surrounded by hollow platinum walls carved with ancient patterns and runes, emitting a faint golden light.

Compared to other duel academies, the architecture of the Pendulum Academy is much more unique, with towering towers and round domes interlaced, palaces and mansions scattered around, and each building looks like a work of art.

In the center is a huge palace with a spire reaching into the sky. It is surrounded by flowing waterfalls and lush green gardens, looking noble and sacred.

And right in front of the palace, a statue of a dragon with odd-colored eyes stood there, as if it was the last line of defense of the building.

I have to say, rather than being a duel academy, this place feels more like the capital of a country to You Xian.

To lighten some of the barriers used to isolate the storm, You Xian sat on the giant dragon and dived towards the city in the sky while feeling the cold wind blowing quickly around him.

I came to the highest point in the world, the Pendulum Academy! It was so beautiful, the Pendulum Academy.
