Chapter 298: The God of Erudition
That night, Yuan Qingwei left the oasis and came to the city where Knight was.
In today's Egypt, there is no so-called distinction between upper and lower Egypt, and the entire social situation is somewhat similar to the city-state civilization.
That is, an independent, autonomous, and separate cultural circle, or a country, is formed with a city as the center.
And the kings of these countries, the so-called pharaohs.
At this time, Pharaoh was only the son of God, and was not uniformly regarded as the heir of Ra.
For example, the pharaoh of the city where Knight is located is also regarded as Knight's heir in the world.
And this connection also gives Yuan Qingwei a lot of room for manipulation, after all, the connection of the bloodline is a necessary condition for many curse methods to be cast.
Earlier, Yuan Qingwei was able to use the Golden Scepter and the High Priest's connection with Knight to cast a curse on him, and now he can also use the inheritance of the bloodline to influence Knight in reverse.
Of course, Yuan Qingwei, as an immortal monk, is not an ancient god born from this group of heaven and earth, and he is not so bored as to directly do it to mortals.
Looking at the dazzling divine power of Knight above the palace, Yuan Qingwei casually sketched a few seals, and put a curse on the entire royal family, when the evil they have accumulated reaches a certain level, it will directly produce a terrible backlash, and it will be applied to Knight along the bloodline and the divine light that protects them.
Then, Yuan Qingwei returned to his own oasis to deal with Knight's follow-up revenge.
As one of the few righteous gods in the vicinity, Knight's rights are still very terrifying, and under his deliberate blockade, the spread of dueling games has indeed been hindered a lot.
But merchants always focus on profit, and the main reason why the previous owner of the temple, the Scorpion Evil God, chose to build the temple here is that it is located on a trade road.
After Yuan Qingwei built an oasis here, it became the only way for many businessmen, although they can also choose to take a detour, but the cost is also rising.
Therefore, Knight's actions, although they have caused a certain impact, cannot really cut off the spread of the game.
And as more and more people know about the duel game, some transcendent beings also know about Yuan Qingwei and the cards that can seal monsters. They either tried to seize the cards and try to decipher the spells left by Yuan Qingwei, or they came to the oasis in person to ask Yuan Qingwei about the mysteries.
For the former, as long as it doesn't go too far, Yuan Qingwei chose to withdraw the power in the card after issuing a warning in the air, so that its ability to summon monsters would lose its effectiveness.
If it was excessive, then Yuan Qingwei directly gave the blasphemers a terrible curse in accordance with the practice of this world, forcing them to come to the oasis in person to apologize.
For the latter, Yuan Qingwei followed the rules and let his priests play dueling games with them, and gave different degrees of answers according to the number of times they defeated.
Over time, when the transcendent beings who come and go find that their questions can be answered by Yuan Qingwei no matter what, Yuan Qingwei also has many new titles, such as the Jade Sage, the hermit in the desert, and the learned god on the oasis.
And when such a title spread to Knight's ears, it made the wise god even more jealous.
He didn't notice Yuan Qingwei's curse at all, that is, in these rumors, he became more and more irritable.
Eventually, when the freedmen were about to come to the temple to seek clarification, he couldn't bear it anymore after hearing that another person had asked him to come to the oasis to find Yuan Qingwei, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Knight decided to prove himself that he was the god of wisdom, and his move was tantamount to completely falling into Yuan Qingwei's calculations.
Facing the arrival of Knight, Yuan Qingwei pretended to look at the other party in surprise and asked, "The god of wisdom is busy with affairs on weekdays, why do you have time to come to my oasis?" ”
"Why can't I come?" Knight opened his mouth, looked at Yuan Qingwei and said: "I heard that the intelligent god of games has answered many people's doubts recently, and there are a lot of more titles, and I happen to have a very interesting question here, I just want to come to you to discuss it!" ”
"Since you're here to discuss with me, you should follow the rules of my side! All those who ask questions need to have a duel game, and the great Knight, as a sacred but existent, naturally can't be the same as ordinary people, so I'll have a duel with you personally! ”
"Haha!" Knight decisively refused, after the last failure, he also collected a large number of materials, as well as the cards issued by Yuan Qingwei, knowing that this kind of duel game, if it really fought, would inevitably expose the principles of the Tao that he understood.
If he wanted to overpower him in Yuan Qingwei's home field, Knight calculated that even if he exposed all the Dao rules he mastered and descended the incarnation of God, the chance of winning would not exceed fifty percent.
Such a success rate is too low for a wise god to do so.
So he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not here to solve puzzles, but to discuss, and since it's a discussion, how can I follow the rules of solving puzzles?" ”
"But isn't the great Knight a god of wisdom? As the guardian of knowledge, why do you discuss it with me? Or do you think you're not as smart as I am? ”
The words that were almost heart-wrenching made Knight a little dilemma, and at this time Yuan Qingwei said: "However, since the great Knight is interested in discussing with me, then we might as well play bigger!" ”
"Oh?" Knight, who was caught in the rhythm, was unwilling to stay on the previous question, so he could only follow Yuan Qingwei's calculations and asked, "How to play?" ”
Yuan Qing smiled and proposed: "You and I have a duel, during the battle, both sides can feel free to include, but not limited to, when the other party casts magic skills, opens rituals, or summons monsters, to ask questions to determine whether the other party's move can succeed." In this way, it is proved that the wisdom of both sides is high, and the victor can put forward a condition to the loser. What do you think? ”
"Isn't there a requirement for the number of times to ask a question? Or how to calculate the time to think? Knight pointed out two of the more important vulnerabilities.
Yuan Qingwei pointed the scepter in his hand, and two huge hourglasses appeared on the ground, and said: "If you have questions, you can limit them to ten, and the thinking time of ten questions is limited to this hourglass." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Qingwei tapped the ground with his scepter again, and the two huge hourglasses began to turn upside down, and a grain of gravel fell, and the exchange began to drain.
Knight looked at the speed at which the sand was falling, and after making sure that the two hourglasses were running out at the same time, he nodded, "Yes!" When we both use cards, it has to be the set that mortals use! ”
"Mortals?" Yuan Qing smiled and nodded, casually summoned hundreds of cards, sorted out a pair, and said, "So, let's start?" ”
