Pharaoh

At the intersection of the endless golden desert and the oasis, a majestic and huge temple stands between the sky and the earth.

Inheriting the simple and majestic style of Egypt since ancient times, this temple, which has only been built halfway, already has a faint glimpse of its grandeur.It is made of huge stones as a whole, and the giant pillars stand tall towards the sky. The thickest one is as thick as a dozen people.

It stands on the edge of the desert, and when the wind and sand blow, the yellow sand passes by, but it gives people a more majestic feeling.

Under its feet, the dense crowd like ants is so small in comparison.

The sound of howling winds could not cover up the huge noise on the construction site. Tens of thousands of slaves gathered here, carving out this magnificent temple bit by bit.

The logs laid on the ground creaked under the weight of the load, and the huge granite stones pressed on it slowly moved forward with the rolling of the logs.The rough rope was deeply pulled into the shoulders of the slaves in front of them. They shouted slogans and moved forward step by step. With only human power, they forcibly pulled this huge stone, which was the size of a small house, up several times. On the foundation of the ten-meter-high temple.

The young brother frowned slightly, and looked away from the skinny slaves who were still being driven to work as coolies.

He stood on the high temple and looked down. The huge construction site was densely packed with people, and he could only vaguely see a group of horsemen passing through the construction site.

Wherever they went, everyone bowed their heads to the ground.

Yugi sighed and looked back.

He raised his hand and touched the giant pillar beside him. This pillar was rhombus-shaped and looked very thick, with a majestic and dignified feeling.The top of the column is carved in the shape of a bunch of water lilies in bud to support the roof, which looks graceful.

The reliefs and runes on the wall of the column are exquisitely carved, and the bright colors decorate it extremely gorgeously.

Yu Yu opened his arms, swooping and hugging——

so big.

He put his face on the stone pillar that was a little hot from the sun, and sighed with emotion.

It takes at least five of them to hold them together.

I really don't know how such a huge stone pillar was carved... No, in fact, what surprised him the most was how the giant pillars were erected.

Modern cranes probably can't do it either?

"Brother Wang."

The voice from behind startled the young brother, and he immediately stopped this kind of behavior that Seth would call damaging to the majesty of the royal family.

He was relieved by the wrinkled and gentle smiling face of the old high priest standing opposite him, but he was still a little hot, so he patted the giant pillar beside him awkwardly.

"I'm just looking to see if the pillars are strong."

He said in a low voice, and he knew that his words were really unreliable. The more he said a word, the quieter he could hardly hear the sound behind him.

High Priest Simon smiled slightly, without revealing Wang Di, and walked straight over with his scepter, passed Wang Di's shoulders, and stood on the edge of the stone platform of the temple.

The long scepter made of pure gold struck the smooth granite ground, making a clang and crisp sound.

Simon stood on the edge of the stone platform, looking down at the noisy and busy huge construction site.

Because this temple built on the outskirts of the capital Thebes was built for the god Ra, so when the Pharaoh came to inspect this time, he brought the high priest Simon with him.

It stands to reason that Brother Wang should have continued to be locked in the room to be punished, but for some reason this time, Brother Wang has been sticking to Pharaoh's side, refusing to leave even one step away, and Pharaoh remained silent, so no one went there without understanding. mention this.

This time inspecting the progress of the temple project, Yatum didn’t intend to bring the game, but he was dragged by the game when he was about to go out in the morning, and the high priest Simon helped to say a few words, and finally Bring it with you.

Because he wanted to keep a low profile, the young Wangdi only wore a gold pectoral representing the identity of the royal family, and nothing else.

Although the jet-black anklet on his right foot was very conspicuous, as long as there was no chain, it no longer looked like handcuffs, but just an ordinary decorative anklet.

Some foreign aristocrats used black metal ornaments as well, and other people who didn't know the truth saw it and thought it was because Wang Di had a special preference and liked black metal ornaments.

"Brother Wang."

High Priest Simon turned his eyes away from the Pharaoh's party who were patrolling the temple construction site, and turned his eyes to the young brother.

"I have decided to report that matter to the king," said the old priest.

The heart of the game jumped suddenly, and he looked sideways at Simon beside him in astonishment.

The old priest looked at him with narrowed eyes. The wrinkled corners of his eyes made it difficult to see clearly, but there was a meaningful look in his eyes.

Yugi pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"I see……"

He whispered, "Wait a little longer, just a little longer."

He knew what Simon meant. The reason why Simon didn't tell Atum was because Simon hoped that he could tell his brother Wang.

What Simon said just now was undoubtedly urging him.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Atum, the problem is that the truth that Simon thinks is actually not true, and he can't tell the real truth.

He procrastinated, on the one hand he didn't want to lie to Brother Wang, on the other hand he hoped that the two soul fragments brought by the black magician girl would remind him of something.And after the other him regains his memory... what he wants to say to Brother Wang is up to the other him to decide.

The old priest sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything else, apparently acknowledging the meaning of the game.

"It's windy."

A gust of dust came blowing towards the face, so fascinating that people couldn't open their eyes. As Simon muttered, the game subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes to prevent the fine grains of sand from blowing into his eyes.

"Brother Wang, the more this kind of thing drags on, the more troublesome it will be."

High Priest Simon turned around, tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand, and walked to the other side after leaving a word.

You Yu stared blankly at Simon's slightly aged back for a while, and finally took his gaze back.

He stood on the high stone platform of the temple, and once again looked down at the group of blurred figures walking through the construction site.Then, he turned and left here, walking towards the direction of a small palace that had already been built on the side of the temple.

His eyes were looking ahead, but he didn't focus. He was obviously absent-minded. As he walked, his fingers subconsciously touched the place on his chest where the talisman of life was imprinted.

After crossing a group of guards who patrolled here and knelt down after seeing him, Yu Yu had already walked to the door of his current temporary residence.

He stood still at the door with a hesitant expression on his face, because he was hesitating whether to enter the house and think about it carefully, or to take a good look around here to see how such a magnificent temple was built, and put his troubles behind him.

Finally, he shook his head vigorously, and as soon as he turned around, he decided to continue walking.

He just took a step forward when suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind him abruptly.

Covering his mouth with one hand, and wrapping his arms around his waist with the other, he forcibly hugged him into the room by the waist——

You Yu was startled, and was about to struggle, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the hand covering his mouth.

It was a fair-skinned hand with slender and smooth fingers, which made Yu Yu's eyes light up suddenly.

He freed his right hand and tugged at the clothes of the person behind him vigorously. Feeling that the person behind him seemed to be startled, he tugged vigorously again.

The hands holding him loosened a little, and he let out a big breath, before he had time to think about it, he turned around and raised his head almost impatiently, showing a bright smile.

"Another me! (Japanese)"

A fair-skinned young man with exactly the same face as the current Pharaoh stood behind the game, and he was the one who dragged the game in just now.At this moment, he looked down at the game with a look of surprise in his eyes.

You Yu held his arms tightly with both hands, almost as if he was worried that he would disappear suddenly, and looked at him without blinking, showing a look of ecstasy.

The moment he saw the person in front of him, Yu Yu felt that the burden that was still heavy on his heart just now disappeared without a trace.

I just feel that as long as he is here, there will be no more worries and troubles.

"Great, another me, you are finally here... (Japanese)"

The heart that was beating with joy just now from the depths of his body gradually trembled a little because of the bewildered expression of the other party.

You Yu stared at the familiar face with his violet eyes wide open, and felt that his fingertips, which were still hot just now, were getting cold little by little, and gradually became cold.

A great sense of loss spread from his cold fingertips and spread to his whole body.

His lips trembled hesitantly, and finally he couldn't help opening his mouth with a glimmer of hope.

"...another me? (Japanese)"

The perplexed eyes cast from those dark purple pupils with a similar color tone to his were like a basin of ice water, which immediately chilled his whole body.

The slender eyelashes moved slightly uncomfortably, and the game lowered its eyes in frustration, and finally gave up communicating with him in Japanese.

Why didn't I remember... Even if there are only two soul fragments, I should have remembered some.

Or do you have to gather them all together...

"game?"

The suspicious voice of the other party woke up Yugi from his disappointment, and Yugi tried hard to cheer up.

Although he was disappointed that the other one didn't recover his memory, he was very pleased that the other one could stand here now.Although he knew that it would be fine for the other him to be taken away by Laz, he still felt a little worried if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Thinking about it this way, Yu You felt a lot better, and he shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm just a little scared."

"Sorry, because there are guards all around."

Looking up at the warm smile on the familiar face without blinking, as if infected, the tense body gradually relaxed, and the game also smiled.

He stretched out his hand and touched the other person's cheek, the warm cheek with body temperature made his fingers also warm, and penetrated into the fingertips.

"Is the injury you got last time okay?"

The injury looked serious at the time.

"If you're running around before your injury recovers... By the way, why are you here?"

After calming down, the game finally realized this.

Unsuspectingly, Yu Yu stretched out his hand over his neck and placed it on his face, the young prince smiled.

"I passed by here on my way to Thebes King City, and I happened to hear that Pharaoh and his younger brother came here to inspect, so I came to see you."

When the pharaoh came to the temple site, the surrounding guards were naturally very tight.

He said it lightly, but it took a lot of effort to sneak in.

"I worry about you."

He said, simply and clearly, his eyes soaked in a warm and soft smile stared at the game unobtrusively.

Bending down slightly, he pressed against the fair forehead of the other party's similar complexion, and the warm breath from the tip of his nose came towards him, making Yu You's slender eyelashes tremble slightly because of a slight itchiness.

He wanted to hide, but his cheeks were held together, and then his cheeks were pinched.Unhappy, You You also stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek vigorously, and then he pinched himself but couldn't help but burst out laughing, seeing that he didn't hide, the pinched place was a little red, and he couldn't help touching it carefully. touch.

The two laughed together.

The slightly worried eyes of the game book were also relaxed and softened a lot because of this intimate action. He opened his lips and wanted to answer with a smile, but he seemed to think of something suddenly, and his face changed.

Yu Yu grabbed the hand holding his right cheek, and his expression became serious.

"Why are you going to the capital?"

He asked, and seeing the smile on the other party's face gradually disappearing, and he remained silent, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.

"What about the things I gave you?"

The young prince glanced at him, and pointed to the earring on one ear.

But looking at the gold earrings, the shadow under his eyes deepened a bit.

"Where is the... my monster... who sent things there?"

The young prince made no answer this time.

But silence is the default.

It made the young Wang Di's eyes reveal a look of panic.

"Can't!"

"game……"

"Absolutely not—"

The other reason he didn't want to let the black magician girl back to him was because the black magician girl knew something that he couldn't let him know.

For the other him now, the only thing that he can't let him know is——

"Game, I can promise you other things, but this matter, I can't."

"...What if they lied to you?"

"what?"

"You are not the son of Akhnadine at all, and you don't need to avenge Akhnadine at all. Those people deceived you-now I say this, will you believe me?"

You Yu held his breath, his hand gripped the opponent's arm, and he looked at the other man's face in surprise, feeling extremely nervous.

In a panic, he recklessly said those things that shouldn't be said.

It is not appropriate to say it at this time, after all, the other one has always claimed to be the son of Akhnadin, and he has no idea what the consequences will be if he speaks out this kind of thing rashly.

Thinking of this, Youyou lowered his head dejectedly, his fingers holding on to the opponent's arm clenched even tighter, and his heart couldn't stop sinking.

I won't believe it...

How could the other him, who can't remember anything now, believe what he said casually without any evidence.

Especially for the other him, the current self is still on the opposite side.

"...As expected."

The voice from above made Yugi look up in astonishment.

What he saw in his eyes was a trace of helplessness on the familiar handsome face, but more of a clear smile.

"Hey... hey? What, what really..."

Because he was too surprised, the game stuttered.

The young prince smiled slightly, raised his hand and rubbed Yu You's head vigorously, he seemed quite helpless, but there was a trace of softness clearly in his eyes watching You Yu.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who believes what others say?"

Three years ago, he lost his memory, and those people greeted him as the prince of Akhnadin. Although he went with them, he always had doubts in his heart.

During the past three years, he has also been secretly investigating his identity.

How many clues were discovered by him...

"It's just a vague feeling that something is wrong, but I'm wondering how you learned about it."

"Don't worry about how I know..." You Yu shook his head vigorously, and looked up with a puzzled and pleading expression, "Since you are not the son of Akhnadin, then you don't need to be the son of Akhnadin at all." King Nadine doesn’t need to fight Brother Wang for revenge, doesn’t he?” He said nervously, “So, you can’t fight Brother Wang, you can’t do that!”

The prince with purple pupils was silent for a while, and seemed unwilling to make a promise.

But looking at the game's begging eyes, he showed a embarrassed look, and finally opened his mouth with a sigh.

"Although I don't know who I am, but you, I must have the direct blood of the Egyptian royal family, just like you, right?"

He looked at You Yu and nodded, leaned slightly, and gently wrapped his outstretched hands around You Yu's shoulders.

"There are no two suns in one sky."

He lowered his head, and the warm breath from his lips close to Yuyu's ear passed over his skin like a sigh.

"Whether I am good or he is good, we will never be inferior to others.

The soft and deep voice made the white ears tremble, not knowing whether it was itching or uncomfortable.

"So, even if I am not the son of Akhnadin, my war with him is inevitable."

"But you and him are just—"

The rules of the world let the game swallow the words that Yu Yu tried so hard to say into his throat again.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

I can only watch helplessly like this, knowing the truth but can't do anything.

At the time when he wanted to change the future but could only watch everything develop according to the rules, did he feel as sad and powerless as he is now?

The light mist colored the violet pupils little by little, You clenched his lower lip, stretched out his hands and hugged the opponent's shoulders tightly.

The condensed water vapor almost seeped out from the corners of his eyes, but he forced it back.

Must have……

No way to make them fight each other...

There must be some way to do it!

There was silence for a while.

You Yu bit his lower lip tightly and did not speak, and the boy who was holding him could only remain silent.

"Help me do one thing."

A sudden voice broke the silence.

"game……"

"I won't embarrass you." You Yu said, the sunlight coming in from the window fell into his eyes over his broad shoulders, making his eyes seem to have a glimmer of light, "I won't ask you any more, nor It will stop the war between you and Brother Wang."

"what's up?"

"The thing I gave you, there is another thing that is missing... that is more important than my life. I can't leave the palace now, you can help me find it, okay?"

"it is good."

This time the answer was decisive and without hesitation.

"The one I sent over, the monster girl who is by your side now can take you there... as soon as possible."

"it is good."

If the last shard of the other's soul can be found before then, the other will regain his memory.

As long as the other one remembers everything, this war can be avoided.

This is the only way he can think of now.

You You let out a breath, let go of the arms around the opponent's shoulders, took a step back, and looked up at the familiar face.At this moment, in the dark purple pupils, there is still the familiar gentle smile that seems to penetrate deep into the depths of his soul.

Under the gaze of those soft eyes, the unstoppable grievance gushing from the bottom of his heart made the tip of his nose feel sour.

"You must help me find it."

"it is good."

He tried his best to keep his voice normal so that the other he could not hear the flaws, but instead the voice was thin and unclear because of the excessive suppression of his throat.

Only those who are so close to him can hear his inaudible, small voice like a kitten meowing.

"You promised me."

"Ah."

The purple-eyed boy who smiled at him let go of his hand, turned around and walked towards the side door.

Although I am a bit reluctant, I am afraid there will be trouble if I stay here for too long.

Because he knew this, Xie Yu didn't hold back, he rubbed his red nose vigorously, looked down to see if there were any clues left behind, and had to clean up quickly before others came back.

Suddenly he thought of something again, and raised his head anxiously.

"Wait a second, another me! (Japanese)"

In a hurry, Yu You, who blurted out his mother tongue, stepped forward, and eagerly reached out and grabbed the hand of the Egyptian prince who was about to turn over from the window sill.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but saw the other party's face suddenly changed, looking straight ahead vigilantly as if facing a formidable enemy.

The heart stopped suddenly for no reason, and the game turned back.

Facing his suddenly widened eyes were the cold crimson pupils of the young Pharaoh standing at the door who were burning like flames because they were too gorgeous to see any hue.
