Chapter 273 Mimir: We Will Win
Chapter 1327 Mimir: Will win
[God Monument] deck is a deck full of virtues, and the process of using it can be called "cultivation" (confidence).
Humility - the first mover will not do anything;
Tolerance - will not stop you from pitfalls such as gray, G, bubbles, etc.;
Generous - allows you to use any expansion method;
Temperance – Recycle three cards from the graveyard each turn;
Courage - Skip all combat phases of your own;
Loyalty - start with five backcourts and end with five backcourts;
Diligence - Whether it is your own turn or the opponent's turn, you are actively eliminating the opponent's deck.
As a player who plays [Sacred Monument], your taste, quality, and cultivation will not be low. This is the fate of [Sacred Monument], and it is also the way of a gentleman and virtue. He abandons vulgar taste and becomes a progressive player.
——The above is what Hayato thought when he was playing [Sacred Monument].
But what if instead of him playing [Divine Monument], the player on the opposite side plays [Divine Monument]?
How could there be such a dirty existence in the world with [Sacred Monument] players? First, a set of underworld combo interrupts others' expansion, locking the opponent and stopping the opponent, and then the [Divine Monument] cards of the same family come into play one after another to humiliate them fiercely, destroying the front field and the back field, and at the same time giving the deck to Yang. , and because almost all our cards can be recycled, this kind of torture is almost endless.
What's even more outrageous is that when the [God Monument] player's opponent has both the front and back fields empty, and the resource chain is disconnected, and he is about to lie down on the bed with his legs spread wide and let his opponent kill him - [God Monument] will not touch you at all. One finger, still there to stop the challenge!
Looking at the spring water in front of him, Hayato was somewhat aroused by his past grievances. He couldn't help cursing: "Damn [God Monument], you actually excluded my [Holy Monument Spring]! You [God] are born evil. Monument], I will—”
"Is the Rune Spring talking about my place?" In the spring, the "devil" who looked like a rock statue scratched his cheek in confusion, "But I obviously didn't do anything?"
The Japanese card name "ルーン" of [God Monument] is "rune", and the English card name "Runick" is a compound word that combines the rune letters "Runes" and the old word "magic" "Magick". There is nothing to worry about that the "Devil" statue mistakenly heard Hayato's "Fountain of Divine Monument" as "Fountain of Rune", but what Hayato should be more concerned about is——
"You can actually talk?"
"What's that word?! Why can't I speak, man!" the "Devil" statue in the spring said unhappily, "Originally I really wanted to have a few words with the rare guy who can talk. You drink some mead together, now I regret it!"
"Mead? Don't tell me that it was the mead that was spit out after being put in someone's stomach for three days." Hayato complained.
The "Devil" statue looked at Hayato in surprise: "Huh? You know quite a lot, but don't you really want it? This is mead that can make the person who drinks it gain unparalleled talent."
"I have serious doubts about the talent of a guy who has been inseparable from spitting from birth to death."
The words of Hayato and the "Devil" statue may seem a bit strange, but those familiar with Norse mythology will definitely remember one of Odin's three attempts to gain wisdom in the myth - stealing mead.
The two warring protoss held a ceremony for peace, spitting into a bucket one after another. The bucket full of spit was made into a human being - said to be the smartest person in the world. His name is not important, you just need to know that this man was killed while sharing knowledge while playing, and his blood and honey were mixed together to make three barrels of wine. It can be said that he was born from the barrel. Return to the barrel after losing your life.
These three jars of mead later fell into the hands of a giant. He hid them in the mountains and asked his daughter to guard them. However, he never thought that Odin, the old man, had already targeted the Asa clan in order to bring wisdom to where he lived. The three barrels of wine managed to get into the mountain where the wine was hidden and then started picking up girls, tricking the giant's daughter into sleeping in a daze for three nights.
Every night he begged for a sip of mead, but he was like "I'll just take a sip" and then eat the whole piece of fried chicken, "I'll just rub it in" cough cough cough, in short, Odin said he would only take a sip but he couldn't stand it. One mouthful was a bucket. Three days later, he finished drinking the wine. He turned into an eagle and ran away without even thanking or apologizing to the girl who was deceived. Then he returned to the Asa Protoss and spit wine from the air to the ground.
(Odin and the Abandoned Giant’s Daughter)
Ignore the scumbag Odin for now, but after knowing this story, Hayato can no longer be interested in things like mead, especially the "mead" in the mouth of the "devil" statue in front of him may really be Odin's. Mead of wisdom.
However, although Hayato used the "devil" statue to refer to the other party in his mind, he also knew that the other party was not actually a "demon" level existence. He confirmed to the other party: "There is something I want to confirm first. Your name is ?”
"Obviously that's the question that should be asked from the beginning. How can anyone come up and say that others are 'born evil' or something like that." He stroked the horns on his head quite narcissistically, and the "Devil" statue seemed to chant. The bard introduced himself in a singing tone, "Ymir, who was forced to sacrifice his body to create the world, is my ancestor, the thorns of disaster are my father, and the goddess of marriage and trees is my eldest sister. ”
"The Memoryr and the Wise Man are both my synonyms. I guard one of the three roots of the World Tree. The horn of Galar carries the spring water for me to drink. I am the Giant of Wisdom - Mimir!"
"Actually, you can just say your name. The foreshadowing is long and verbose." Hayato complained after being silent for a moment.
"That's too much! I've obviously been thinking about this self-introduction for a long time and revised it into almost 600 versions. Can't I say something nice without conscience to make people feel happy?" The "Devil" statue in the spring, No, the giant Mimir, the guardian of the Fountain of Wisdom in Norse mythology, looked hurt.
(The card picture may be a little unclear, but in fact Mimir is not a statue but standing behind the spring, reaching out to the center of the spring to scoop up the spring water)
As he spoke, under Hayato's gaze, the Mimir giant stood up from the base, walked down the spring and came to Hayato.
Because Hayato modified his height in the game, he is now shorter than in reality. But even if he didn't modify it, he could only raise his head when Mimir stood in front of him. Come and look at each other. Although this height is not more than ten or twenty meters, it is definitely more than three meters tall, and he is worthy of the name of "giant".
As for the pair of horns? That is to say, in order to excuse themselves from venting their desires on the sheep on the ship, the sailors during the Great Navigation put sheep's hooves and horns on the "demon". The horns on Ymir's head were not at all among the giants. What's so special? Among the giants, which are symbols of natural phenomena, there are even animals in animal form such as Fenrir and Jormungandr. Some giants, especially female giants, are not even big enough. No different from humans.
(Mimir, who is on the set of "New God of War" next door, also has horns)
"Wow, when I looked at Katu before, I thought you were a statue in the middle of the spring. But you can not only talk but also walk out on your own?" Hayato was not afraid of Mimir at all because of his size. By the way, I was comforted and hid in the card, not daring to face the famous wise man in Norse mythology [Waterman of the Temple].
"Although I don't know what 'Katu' you are referring to, I can't be a statue no matter how you think about it, right?" Mimir pointed behind him, "Otherwise, who will guard this spring? If it is It would be a shame if some random guy took away the power inside."

He poked his head out from Mimir's side and looked at the spring water that continued to ripple from the base embedded with some kind of gemstone in the center of the spring as Mimir left. Hayato complained: "You couldn't have been sitting on that rock blocking the spring water just now, right? I suddenly felt that the spring water definitely had a bad smell."
"Huh? How is it possible? This is the most precious spring of wisdom among the three major springs in the world. Okay, how can it have a taste? Even if it does, it is the taste of knowledge."
"The taste of knowledge? The taste of ditch!" Hayato pointed to the spring water, "How about you take a sip yourself?"
"Tsk, why don't you believe me? How could I, Mimir, lie to others?" Some people wanted to prove that their ditch had not polluted the spring water. Mimir pointed to a circle of bricks next to the spring water. To be precise, What he was referring to was the inscription engraved on it, "Have you seen the runes on it? Although ordinary people like you probably can't understand it, it is a combination of functions that can protect the spring water, maintain cleanliness, and detect The magic of pollution.”
Hayato glanced at the inscription on it, and subconsciously complained: "You said you can't lie? There is no combination on it, it's just like writing 'A'B'C'D' The grace words are written all over as decoration, and even half of the magic is not combined, and it still remains clean? "
(Author's note: This is not made up. Someone compared the runes in Caturi and thought it would have some special meaning, but it turned out to be just the ancient Futhark rune alphabet)
"Well, I was actually found out." Mimir didn't expect that he would be exposed by Hayato in person for his casual deception. Just when he was about to turn his head in embarrassment, he suddenly realized what was wrong and turned around in surprise. Hayato, "That's not right. How do you understand runes?"
"Speaking of it, it's also strange. This must be the first time we've met. Why do I always feel so friendly to you? To be honest, I'm actually a very cold person. Is it because I've been holding back for too long? Is that why I become a mother-in-law when I talk?”
"Maybe it's because you don't have good eyesight." Hayato glanced at Mimir's only eye and said, "I remember, didn't Odin exchange one of his right eyes for you in exchange for a mouthful of spring water? Why is your right eye still there? Empty?"
"Why do you have the illusion that eyes can be grafted and plugged in like the branches and leaves of a plant?" Mimir complained. Today may be the day when he, the "intelligent giant", has the most doubts. From the mouth of the human in front of him, he Hearing so much that even he couldn't understand, "One more thing - who is Odin?"
"You don't know Odin?" This surprised Hayato. "It's Odin, the son of King Baur, the god king of the Asa clan, the one who killed Ymir and created the world."
In Nordic mythology, Odin has appeared since the birth of the earth, and did not usher in his "destined death" until Ragnarok. In a sense, he is the absolute protagonist. It can be said that there is no existence of Odin in Nordic mythology. Most of the story was lost, but Mimir said he didn't know Odin?
So where did his mead come from, and what other runes were engraved on the edge of the spring? The third thing Odin did in order to seek wisdom, besides stealing wine and asking for spring water, was to hang himself upside down on the World Tree, make himself a lamb sacrificed to himself, and obtain the rune writing.
The poem "Proverbs of the Master" in the Edda, which records myths, even contains Odin's self-narration, "For nine nights, I hung on a tree swaying in the wind, stabbed with a spear; I was used as a sacrifice to Odin. Sacrifice yourself, on the unknown tree! No bread to satisfy my hunger, no drop of water to quench my thirst. I looked down and picked up runes, shouting as they fell from the tree."
According to Mimir's record in the poem, "Mimir enjoyed the mead that Odin left as a bet every morning."
Noticing the troubled expression on Hayato's face, Mimir didn't pay much attention to his previous question. He stepped aside from Hayato so that he could walk unimpeded to the flowing fountain of wisdom, and greeted: "I If you still don’t believe it, there’s no way to prove it. If you can’t, go try the spring water yourself and see if it really tastes like it?”
"I told you beforehand that I didn't win anything. That kind of mortal strategy is completely ineffective against a wise person like me, Mimir. It's just that it's rare to see someone. If you don't want to drink mead, then I can only entertain you with spring water. ." As he spoke, Mimir grinned innocently, making it impossible to tell what his "wisdom" was.
Hayato didn't answer anything, he just walked towards the Fountain of Wisdom. He stood in front of the clear spring water and felt the abundant water vapor and magic power in it. It was obviously just a pool of spring water, but Hayato could feel it as clearly as if he had drank it. The sweetness and deliciousness emerge from his mouth, and his brain is telling Hayato that this deliciousness and pleasure is the pleasure of satisfying his thirst for knowledge.
"Drink it, this is part of your destiny." In Hayato's ears, there was even a faint voice.
"So Mimir, what's the price?" Hayato said with his back to Mimir without looking back.
"Huh? Are you asking me this all of a sudden? I don't want anything, but you said so." He stood there without doing anything. When Mimir heard Hayato suddenly say this, he scratched his head in confusion, and suddenly said Idea, "Okay, how about you compete with me? Just use the cards you have?"
"Are you sure you want to duel me with cards?"
"Of course, I'm a giant of wisdom. No one can beat me in brain warfare!"
"I'm very strong, right?"
"But I am the strongest!" Mimir pointed at himself with his thumb, "I will win!"
Having not met someone to communicate with for a long time, the excited Mimir declared victory!
——Three minutes later——
In the valley where the Fountain of Wisdom is hidden, terrible things are happening. The invincible Mimir fell. No one knows what happened here.
"You are so incomparably weak. I will probably never forget you, Mimir."
After hearing what Hayato said, he fell on his back and Mimir said sadly: "I'm really sorry that I couldn't let you enjoy yourself, Hayato."
In the next chapter, Hayato will be able to acquire the [Sacred Monument], but the spoiler is that the [Sacred Monument] was not made by Kaiba.
The next plot will contain some Nordic mythology neta
