A duelist never gives up!

The big man frowned and looked at the backpack behind Yuan Qi with his dark green eyes coldly. "Can you take out the fishing rod, net, and bait from your bag?"

Yuan Qi's backpack was filled with clothes and a small tent prepared for him by Ino. How could there be anything like fishing equipment in it? Fortunately, Yuan Qi had already thought of the subsequent response after he said the words "night fishing".

"Because the journey is quite long, I didn't bring these things with me, so I plan to buy some here." Yuan Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying his best to show a harmless smile.

"You're lying!" The big man raised his eyebrows and suddenly pointed at Yuan Qi and shouted harshly, "I won't lend my boat to people of unknown origin who like to lie. I don't know which tribe you are from, but go back to where you came from!"

After saying that, the big man waved his hand and slammed the door shut.

"Isn't that too rough?" Yuan Qi rubbed his ears, feeling a little painful from the big man's voice.

"You're exaggerating," Noah said with a playful roll of his eyes. "Even the most skilled fishermen wouldn't venture out to sea at night. Two delicate young men like us don't look like fishermen at all, so it's natural that people would be suspicious."

"I should have thought of a better reason earlier." Yuan Qi shrugged his shoulders, but he was not discouraged. It was impossible that he was the only family in the village with a boat. If he didn't rent it, others would definitely rent it.

However, he soon hit a snag.

"Going out to sea now? It's too dangerous at this time. I can't rent it to you."

"Sorry, my boat is for personal use only and is not available for rent."

"Rent a boat? Sure, I'll give you 10000 yuan. Don't have that much money? How are you going to rent a boat without money?"

"..."

One, two, three...

They looked in countless houses but failed to rent a boat. Instead, the whole village knew that two young men of unknown origin had come to the village and wanted to rent a boat, causing many people to look at Yuan Qi and Noah with caution.

"That's enough. You won't get any results even if you keep asking until dark." Just as Yuan Qi was about to ask the next family, Noah suddenly stopped and grabbed Yuan Qi's arm.

"What should we do then?" Yuan Qi looked at Noah in confusion.

"Leave this to me." Noah patted Yuan Qi's shoulder gently, then took a step forward, pulled out his Black Magician from the deck on his waist, and said to the nearby villagers in a clear voice:

"I'm a Duelist from the Black Magician Tribe, and this Black Magician monster is proof of that. Now, for some reason, I need a ship that can go out to sea. If anyone is willing to lend me the ship, I will give him three Duel Monsters with an attack power of over 1,000 as a thank you."

Yes, with the backing of the black magician family and the identity of a duelist, it should be easy to gain the trust and respect of the villagers.

As expected, the villagers who had been looking at the two with vigilance, after hearing Noah's words, surrounded them with doubts.

"This is... a black magician?!"

"It really is a black magician, there's no doubt about it. I can feel the powerful force contained in this card just by looking at it!"

"Can you let me touch this card? I'll touch it!"

"No." Noah quickly put the Black Magician back into the leather card holder and looked calmly at the villagers who had gathered around him. "Do you trust us now?"

The villagers looked at each other, and finally, a frail old man holding a cane slowly opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Since he is a duelist from the Black Magician Tribe, he must be trustworthy... What kind of boat do you need?"

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, a hoarse and piercing voice sounded from behind him.

"You've already betrayed the Black Magician Tribe, yet you still claim to be a duelist from that tribe... Noah, don't you think you're ridiculous?"

Noah, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned his head. He saw Sasha, wearing a black robe, holding a cane, leading several big men slowly walking towards Noah on the flat road.

"You are... Lord Sasha?!"

Although both of them were elderly people in their seventies, when the old man saw Sasha, he lowered his head respectfully.

Sasha looked at the old man who lowered his head towards her. He was silent for a moment, as if recalling something. After a long while, he slowly said, "Korol, it was about a year ago since we last met."

"You haven't changed at all." The old man named Koror slowly raised his head and looked at Sasha with doubt in his cloudy eyes. "The time for the Origin Land to open has not yet arrived. May I ask where you are now..."

Sasha chuckled: "I am here to hunt down the traitors of the Black Magician tribe."

"traitor?!"

Korol turned around in surprise and looked at the silent Noah. He raised his cane, pointed at Noah and said in a deep voice: "You really are..."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to label someone a 'traitor'?" Yuan Qi gently grasped Noah's hand and looked at Sasha coldly. "If I'm guessing correctly, the Black Magician Tribe should also believe in the Black Magician Deck, right? Since Noah has the Black Magician Deck's approval, she has a chance of becoming the next leader. So... you, who are trying to harm the next leader, are the real traitors, right?"

Sasha didn't answer Yuan Qi's question. Instead, she stared at Yuan Qi's face and asked, "Look at you... you know everything?"

"Ah, Noah told me everything." Yuan Qi said lightly.

"Hahaha!" Sasha let out a strange, old laugh and looked at Yuan Qi with interest. "Then you should have killed her right away."

"I won't kill anyone." Yuan Qi said solemnly.

"Including me?" Sasha looked at Yuan Qidao jokingly.

"Ah, including you." Yuan Qi answered as a matter of course.

Sasha stopped laughing and looked at Yuan Qi with indifference, as if he was looking at a dirty bug, his eyes full of disgust.

"Such disgusting arrogance... In that case, let me see if you have the confidence to support this arrogance!"

As he spoke, Sasha raised his left arm, and a black duel disk slowly appeared in the air.

"That's exactly what I want." Yuan Qi took out the card deck from his waist without hesitation.

"duel!"

"duel!"

Chapter 110: Of course it’s because... my deck is stronger than yours!

"drop!"

The crisp sound was like a signal gun in a track and field stadium, or like the sound of a gong before a drama begins, reaching everyone's ears.

It's me who chooses to go first and second again... Isn't the good luck of soul synchronization too useful?

Yuan Qi was slightly shocked, but quickly said, "I choose to take the initiative!"

With that, Yuan Qi quickly drew five cards from his deck, then continued, "My turn, draw a card!"

That’s right, in this ancient rule, the first attacker can draw cards.

In this way, Yuan Qi has one more card in his hand.

"Hehehe... you really chose to go first?" Sasha said with a smile, "According to the characteristics of your deck, it's obviously better to go second."

"You don't need to bother teaching me my dueling style." Yuan Qi looked at his hand of cards, not even bothering to glance at Sasha. "You should focus more on yourself."

Ai, who was standing by, watched Yuan Qi studying his cards so intently. She came over curiously and chuckled, "Isn't this a perfect hand? There's nothing to think about. Just run over it."

"No...how should I put it..." Yuan Qi stared at a card in his hand and said, "I don't remember putting this card into my deck."

"You must have remembered it wrongly." Ai patted Yuan Qi's shoulder and urged, "Hurry up. If the Dark Duel God notices that I've sneaked into this world, he might forcibly remove us."

"I understand..." Hara Qi nodded, pulled out a card from his hand and slapped it on the Duel Board, saying, "I enter the Main Phase and Normal Summon the Golem Dessert - Madeline Witch."

The lovely Witch Madeleine appeared in front of everyone riding a silver fork. As if because of shyness, the Witch Madeleine lowered her head and covered her face with her big hat.

"Is this...is this also a Duel Monster?"

The people around were all surprised. After all, in their cognition, dueling monsters were all cruel and scary people who were frightening, but the Witch Madeline in front of them was like a cute little girl, which made people feel pity for her.

"There's no rule about what Duel Monsters must look like, right?" Yuan Qi, who had heard countless exclamations, said as if it was normal.

"Honestly, no matter how many times I see it, it's always surprising." Noah, who was standing behind Yuan Qi, suddenly spoke up. "Whether it's the Witch Madeleine or you, you always give me the feeling that you don't fit in with this world."

"You think the world is too narrow," Yuan Qi said calmly, "but the world has always been as gentle and accommodating as a mother, embracing all things."

"Gentle..." Noah lowered her eyelids. In her eyes, the world was obviously cruel.

If the world is not cruel, then why must I be forced into this situation?

"It's not the world that's wrong, it's the person who's causing you pain." Yuan Qi stared at Sasha standing across from him and said, "And soon, I will defeat the person who caused you pain."

"Well, I believe you." Noah nodded. Although his crisis would not be resolved even if he defeated Sasha here, it would be refreshing to see the half-buried old man rolling in the mud.

"I activate the effect of Madeline Witch. When this card is Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned successfully, you can add 1 monster named 'Golem Sweets' from your deck to your hand!" Hara Nana shouted, "I add Golem Sweets Jelly Angel from my deck to your hand!"

"Then, I cover three cards, and that's the end of the round!"

"Is this the end?"

Sasha looked at the Madeline Witch on the original field with some surprise and said, "I thought you were going to use Double Summon... didn't you draw it?"

"Double summon?" Yuan Qi frowned slightly, then suddenly realized, "Did those duelists I defeated tell you?"

"Of course, they told me every detail of the duel," Sasha said with a smile. "So, I know exactly what monsters, spell cards, and trap cards are in your deck."

"Besides blocking our way, do those guys also have the mission of gathering intelligence?" Noah couldn't help but frown. If he had known earlier, he would have given half of his deck to Yuan Qi to use the Black Magician.

After all, a deck only needs 20 cards, so Yuan Qi's puppet dessert will not be exposed.

"Simply put... you're trying to say you know my deck inside and out, right?" Yuan Qi shrugged nonchalantly. "But so what? Just knowing it is enough. My deck's strength won't be diminished by it."

"Hahaha..." Sasha laughed sinisterly. "Have you ever thought about why I still dared to duel with you after knowing that your deck was so powerful?"

"Why..." Yuan Qi was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this question, but soon, Sasha gave the answer himself.

"Of course it's because... my deck is stronger than yours!"

As he spoke, Sasha suddenly pulled out a card with his wrinkled hand and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

"I'm entering the main stage!" Sasha's throat made a loud noise that was inconsistent with his age. If it weren't for Sasha's old face, Yuan Qi almost thought that the person standing in front of him was a young and strong man shouting.

"If only the opponent controls a monster, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand," Sasha said, slamming a card in his hand onto the Duel Board. "I Special Summon—Cyber ​​Dragon!"

The silver-white mechanical dragon appeared on Sasha's field like thunder, letting out a deafening roar!

"What?!" Yuan Qi almost bit his tongue when he saw the electronic dragon that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Electronic dragon?

He actually used a Cyber ​​Dragon? !

Even Ai couldn't help but frown and murmured in a low voice: "This is not good..."

"Cyber ​​Dragon?" Noah was surprised when she saw the monster that appeared on Sasha's field. She had never seen Sasha use this monster before. Although it seemed to have only 2100 attack power, for some reason, Noah had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Oh? You look like you know something about Cyber ​​Dragons?" Sasha looked at the shocked Yuan Qi with a half-smile, then slapped another card on the Duel Plate and said, "Then you shouldn't be surprised by this one, right?"

"I Normal Summon Cyber ​​Dragon Core and activate its effect!" Sasha said, pointing to the Cyber ​​Dragon Core he had just placed on the field. "If this card is successfully summoned, activate this. Add one 'Cyber' Spell/Trap Card or one 'Techno' Spell/Trap Card from your deck to your hand!"

I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose... I've taken all the necessary medicine, but it's still not healed... I wish my keyboard could type on its own...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Chapter 111: Which eye of yours saw us struggling?

"I added Electron Load Fusion from my deck to my hand!"

At this moment, Sasha looked like he had drunk a magical elixir of rejuvenation. His originally pale face became rosy with excitement, and even his voice was full of power: "Then, I activate the Quick Attack Spell Card - Electronic Load Fusion!"

"From among your own monsters on the field and banished, return the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Fusion Monster Card to the owner's Deck, then Fusion Summon the Fusion Monster with a "Cyber ​​Dragon" monster as Fusion Material from the Extra Deck!"

"I return the two Cyber ​​Dragons on my field to the Deck! Fusion Summon!"

"Show off your fierce form! Chimera Tyrannosaurus!!!"

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a Chimeric Tyrannosaurus Rex wrapped in purple lightning appeared in front of Sasha, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough cough!" Noah covered his mouth and nose while cautiously looking at the fusion monster in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his heart.

According to common sense, after the fusion of two monsters, a stronger monster will inevitably be born, but the Chimera Dragon in front of him... The attack power is the same as that of the Cyber ​​Dragon used as the fusion material, 2100, without any increase!

"Be careful, there may be special effects." Noah whispered in Yuan Qi's ear.

"We've known about this kind of thing for a long time, so you don't need to remind us!" Ai looked at Noah who was leaning against Yuan Qi, and said unhappily with a pout.

"Don't worry, I know its effect, and... I've been prepared for it." Yuan Qi ignored Ai who was jealous as usual, and whispered to Noah to comfort him.

"Have you prepared for this?" Noah looked at the seven black covered cards and recalled his performance along the way. His worried expression instantly disappeared.

Yes, I have witnessed Yuan Qi's strength with my own eyes. There is no need to worry about a mere fusion monster of unknown origin. Although I don't know what the three covered cards that Yuan Qi is covering now are, I think they must be cards with powerful effects.

And what happened next was exactly what Noah had expected.

"I activate the effect of Chimera Tyrannosaurus!" Sasha stretched out her wrinkled hand, pointing at the two face-down cards on the original seven fields. "When this card is successfully Fusion Summoned, I can activate this effect by targeting Spell/Trap Cards on the field with a maximum number of monsters that can serve as Fusion Materials for this card. If those cards are destroyed, there will only be two Fusion Materials for Chimera Tyrannosaurus, so I'm going to destroy two of your face-down cards!"

As soon as Sasha finished speaking, the Chimeric Tyrannosaurus on his field opened its bloody mouth and sprayed two white lasers at the cover cards on the original seven fields.
