"Ah." Alice explained, pushing up her black-framed glasses on her tall nose. "I have finished the year-end chores in the past few days, and it is time to set off." "Let's go, where?" Aixia, who was confused about the situation, also heard for the first time that she was arranged to travel after finally having a holiday at the end of the year. "The royal capital." All the nobles in the Kingdom of Livolden had to send people to the capital before the New Year to report on their work in the past year. For example, crop harvests, financial taxes, the population of fiefdoms, whether there are epidemics or wars, etc., have become routine matters every year. In the past, these tasks were done by Aisha's parents. It's just that this year Aisha's parents had something unexpected happen, and Alice just happened to be an adult, so it was natural for her to take over this job.
There is another hidden meaning behind this mission to the capital. Years ago, after all the families of the Kingdom of Livolden gathered in the royal capital, there would be a gathering among the nobles. It's a beautiful name, a way for the major families to exchange feelings. In fact, behind the scenes, they are just showing off their strength to each other, performing well in front of the royal family, making themselves look good, and by the way, gaining a "battlefield" with a higher status. As for the method of showing strength, in ancient times, knights fought with swords, and now duelists shuffle cards. Determining the winner by dueling strength is the basic rule applicable to the entire Elf Continent. At the gathering in the royal capital, each family would bring their strongest duelist so that they could accept challenges from other families and not lose the nobles' most important reputation in public. As for the Carlos Family, since there had been no duelists, they were basically the family that received the cold shoulder at this gathering. When provoked, they couldn't even fight back. They were the family at the bottom of the social ladder. But this year is different. Although he had not graduated yet, as long as he enrolled in the Fu Sheng Academy, it was equivalent to Aisha Carlos having the qualifications of a formal duelist. He was a duelist who could represent the glory of the family. "Let's prepare to go to the capital tomorrow, Aisha." A war of nobles without the smoke of gunpowder, Alice had quietly made up her mind after she came back. Since my sister already has the strength to defeat the Set family, there is no need to delay any further. This year. The humiliation the family had suffered, the humiliation and contempt that my father and mother had endured to this day. This time, Carlos wants to take back everything he lost. Chapter 171: The Capital of Intertwined Fates 3K Still next to the Saint Varian Empire, on the edge of the Black Saint Altar in the suburbs. There were still those three huge stone statues with ferocious and terrifying appearances, representing the three phantom demons.
It is still the same ancient nursery rhyme sung in the Elf Continent. However, the voice of the girl in the gray robe on the altar was no longer as pure and clear as before. The originally cheerful and melodious tune of the nursery rhyme, under her humming, had a bit more sadness and strange desolation. Slender fingers slowly took off the hood, revealing a shocking scar on the once angelic and elf-like face of the blonde Lucaslint, which extended from the right corner of the eye to the bottom of the cheek. It is out of tune with the girl's fair and delicate face. The scar looks like a crack on a piece of peerless jade, which makes people sigh. "Half a year." Stopping humming, Luca stood in the center of the Black Saint Altar with her petite body. The magic power from the huge stone sculpture of the Three Phantom Demons rushed madly towards the girl's chest, and then the surging magic power gathered and blew a crisp sound of metal colliding in the darkness. Millennium Wheel of Wisdom. Driven by the contact of the altar's magic, it reappeared and hung on Luca. "Long time no see... I really, really, really want to see you, my other self!!" The tone gradually became excited and crazy. Luca tightly grasped the wheel in her hand. The twitching of her facial muscles caused the scar to tremble. The cracks and pain pierced her heart. There was no response. The soul in the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom seemed to be deliberately pretending to be dead silent. After being summoned by the host for half a year, it did not respond to the host's greeting. "You don't want to talk anymore? That's fine. Anyway, I don't want to trust you anymore. But let's just treat it as reestablishing a partnership. I still need your support." Luca opened her mouth wide and bit her slender arm with her sharp teeth without hesitation. Blood gushed out from the wound, dripping along the fair skin onto the Black Saint Altar at his feet. The next second, the altar activated by blood split into three red lights of varying thicknesses, spreading towards the stone statues of the three phantom demons. The first to react was the stone statue of Thunder King Hamon, and a bright red light appeared in the pupils above its head. "Harmon is in an awakened state, haha, it's only natural here." Harmon had already awakened before she was imprisoned in that hell. However, after Harmon, the red-bodied Divine Flame Emperor Uriah and the stone statue of the second phantom demon also lit up. Luca's expression clearly showed a hint of surprise. "Even the Divine Flame Emperor Uriah has awakened. It seems that the other me has not been idle in the past six months." Finally, just when Luca thought that was about the end, the last and largest stone statue, the third phantom demon, the Phantom Demon King Rabiel, also flashed a red light in the darkness. “Bakana! Even the final Phantom Demon King has awakened… It’s only been half a year. Where did they collect so many soul sacrifices from?” All three phantoms awakened. Lucaslint, who had been in prison for half a year, had just ended her life behind bars when she received such a huge "surprise". He spent several years, using the power of the Slynt family to secretly train dark duelists and collect soul sacrifices, before he finally awakened the first phantom demon, Thunder King Harmon. As a result, after he was imprisoned, it took only half a year for the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom to awaken the remaining two phantom demons. Legend has it that when the Three Phantom Demons are fully awakened, they will possess power that rivals the Three Phantom Gods.
It can even absorb the souls of duel monsters as its own nutrients, allowing the holder of the summoned three phantom monsters to gain eternal life. Although it was such a huge "surprise", Luca still couldn't believe it. What kind of new host had the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom found in the past six months to be able to collect the soul sacrifices needed for the remaining two phantoms as easily as mowing the grass? Was I really that lame before? Putting on the hood again, Luca quickly left the Black Saint Altar, which was still glowing strangely red. The old figure who was waiting quietly outside the altar asked Luka as soon as he saw her. "How's the status of the Demon God Ceremony, Luca?" "It went much more smoothly than I expected, Grandpa." The old man holding a luxurious golden cane, nearly a hundred years old, with white hair and beard, and walking slowly, is Lucaslint's grandfather, the head of the Slint family - Rockford Slint. "The power of the Phantom Demon has fully awakened, Grandpa. I believe that as long as you are willing, you can draw the cards of the three Phantom Demons from the Demon God Ceremony at any time." "Is that so? That's great, that's great!" He symbolically touched his granddaughter's blonde head, but the old man's greedy eyes were fixed on the altar of the Black Saint in front of him. That was his greed and desire for the eternal life in the legend of the Three Phantom Demons. Even the Millennium Eye, which was constantly emitting terrifying dark power from his left eye, could not conceal his desire. Rockford Slynt has been the head of the Slynt family for nearly 20 years since he was 80 years old. With the help of the curse and blessing of the Millennium Eye that can see through people's hearts, Lockefort gained almost invincible power in duels and supreme power in the country. Fame, reputation, power, wealth, and even beauty, as long as he waves his hand, he can easily grasp these things that ordinary people pursue all their lives but cannot get. Even so, Rockefeller could not escape the limitations of life span. Even though he possesses the Millennium Eye and is a duelist, he cannot change the fact that Rockforslint does not have any magical talent at all. As a pure Muggle, he cannot increase the lifespan of his body through the flow of magic power, and he cannot even enter the magic ceremony to awaken the three phantom demons. He can only rely on his little granddaughter. But now, everything he was worried about was over. The infinite vitality granted by the Three Magic Cards would completely eliminate the only lifespan limitation that he could not change. "We are only one step away from eternal and endless life." The three awakened phantom demons in the legend need the souls of duel monsters as nutrients to provide eternal and endless life for their holders. So where should we harvest the soul of this duel monster? This is also a cross-national transaction between the Slint family and the Set family. There is no better place than that. In the near future, all the families of the kingdom will gather in the capital of Levolden to fight against the strongest duelist among the families. It will be the best hunting ground after the awakening of the three phantom demons, a paradise lost in the dark taboo. "Luka, get ready to go." "The royal capital? I just came out of there, grandpa, you are really inconsiderate."
After being imprisoned in the First Prison of the Royal Capital for half a year, she had just been transferred back to the country. Unexpectedly, she would return to the place where Luka experienced the torture of hell and even left scars that would be difficult to erase for the rest of her life. Of course, even though she said this with disgust, Luca's expression unexpectedly contained a perverted smile. The smile that revealed itself when her white fingertips stroked the scar on her cheek even had a kind of yandere charm. "But it doesn't matter. I have people I want to see in the capital too. Aisha Yuna Carlos, Kema Set, I miss you so much. Over the past six months, I have been thinking about you all the time~" The wheels rolling in the darkness turned into an unstoppable torrent of destiny, constantly moving forward. The fate of the kingdom, the fate of the people, and the fate of several duelists caught up in the wheel of history. Everything seemed to be connected by a thin thread at this moment, interweaving with each other, and finally converging in the capital of Livolden. On the magic train to the royal capital, Aisha Carlos, who was staying with Alice, finally relieved the heavy mood he had when he left the academy under his sister's healing. At this time, in the Millennium Building Blocks Soul Room, Aisha on the dark side suddenly handed You Ling a bunch of paper flowers that were cut from book pages and then folded and arranged one by one. "what is this?" "This is for you, You Ling. This is a thank you gift." "A thank you gift? Why are you suddenly giving me a thank you gift?" "..." Black Aisha did not answer. After half a year of getting along, although Hei Aisha is still introverted, twisted and silent, she seems to have opened her heart to You Ling a little. "Well, since you're giving it to me, I'll take it." Taking the bunch of paper flowers from Hei Aisha, You Ling inadvertently caught a glimpse of the smile that the girl was trying to hide. "Are you happy to be going to the capital?" "Ah." "You like the royal capital very much?" "No." "Then why are you so happy?" "I like it, Yu Ling, you are really fighting for Carlos." All the nobles of the kingdom gather in the royal capital, and at such gatherings, by showing off their abilities as family duelists, the relative status between families can be improved. This outrageous thing of determining the status of a kingdom by playing cards could only happen in the Elf Continent guided by Duel Monsters. Of course, he said he was helping Aisha and the Carlos family in the duel, but You Ling himself actually had selfish motives. In addition to becoming the Duel King, You Ling's goal from the beginning was to improve the status of the host's family. Only by improving the family's status can Aisha Carlos have the opportunity to come into contact with the higher-level forces in this world.
After all, after seeing so many miraculous magics at Fu Sheng Academy, Lian You Ling became more and more convinced. Maybe there really is such a powerful magician or summoner in this world who can help him refine or summon a new body. ——Lolita God never lied to me! Expectation, desire, desperation, hope. Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. Carrying all kinds of positive and negative emotions, the duelists whose destinies are intertwined with each other move forward resolutely towards the royal capital. At this moment, no one can predict in advance what kind of ending is waiting for them in this journey.
