[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 - starts with five backcourts and ends with five backcourts;
Diligence - Whether it is your own turn or the opponent's turn, you are actively removing the opponent's deck.
Are you 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. You must abandon low-level tastes and become a progressive player.
——The above is what Hayato thought when he was playing [Divine Monument].
But if instead of him playing [Sacred Monument], the player on the opposite side plays Sacred Monument...
How can there be such a dirty player in the world [Monument]? First, a set of underworld bosses interrupts other people's progress, locking the opponent and stopping the opponent, and then the [Monument] cards of the same family come into play one after another and fight fiercely.
Insulting, after blowing up the front field and the back field, the deck is promoted, and then because almost all of the cards in the family 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, 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] does 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 are born evil [God]
Monument], I will—"
"The Rune Fountain...are you 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 the 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 wanted to have a few words with the rare guy who can talk.
You drank some mead together, and 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 unexpectedly: "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 and spat into a bucket. A bucket full of spit was created into a human being - said to be the smartest man in the world. His name is not important, you just need to know
This man was killed while playing and sharing knowledge, and his blood and honey were mixed to make three barrels of wine. It can be said that he was born from the barrel, and returned to the barrel after his death.
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.
These three barrels of wine managed to get into the mountain where the wine was hidden and then started to pick 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 ate the whole piece of fried chicken.
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 be chanting.
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 aliases. 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 - so is Mimir!"
"...You can actually say your name directly. 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 I've 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 picture may not be clear enough, but in fact Mimir is not a statue but standing behind the spring, reaching out to scoop up the water from the spring)
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, when Mimir stood in front of him, he could only raise his head.
Look at the other person. Although this person is not more than ten or twenty meters tall, he is definitely over three meters tall. He is worthy of the name of "Giant".
As for the pair of goat's horns? In order to excuse themselves from venting their desires on the sheep on the ship, the sailors during the Great Navigation just put the goat's hooves and horns on the "Devil". The horns on Ymir's head are on
There is nothing special among the giants. Among the giants, which are symbols of natural phenomena, there are even animals in animal form such as Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Some giants, especially female giants, are conjoined.
The model has not been hit anywhere and is no different from a human being.
(Mimir 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 center 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 don't think I can be a statue, 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 watched as Mimir left, water began to flow out from the base embedded with some kind of gemstone in the center of the spring and merged into the altar, causing ripples in the spring water.
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 composed of elements 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 words of grace are all written on them just for decoration, and even half of the magic is not combined. How can it still be kept clean?"
(Author's note: This is not made up. Someone compared the runes in Caturi and thought it would have some special meaning. 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 something was wrong and was surprised.
He turned around and looked at Hayato, "No, 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?
Does the person turn into a mother-in-law when he talks?"
"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 like branches and leaves of a plant, plug and play?" 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, 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 about 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
Hanging upside down from a tree, he becomes the lamb sacrificed to himself and obtains the runes.
The poem "Proverbs of the Master" in the Edda, which records myths, even contains Odin's self-narration, "Nine nights I hung on a tree swaying in the wind, stabbed with a spear; I was used as a sacrifice to Odin.
I sacrificed it to myself, on a big tree that no one knew about! There was no bread to satisfy my hunger, and no drop of water to quench my thirst. I looked down, picked up the runes, shouted as I picked them up, and they fell from the tree."
Mimir's record in the poem states that "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 away from Hayato so that he could walk unimpeded to the flowing fountain of wisdom and greeted: "I
You still don’t believe it and there’s no way to prove it. If that doesn’t work, go and taste the spring water yourself and see if it really tastes like it?”
"I told you in advance that I didn't win anything. The tactics of ordinary people are 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 and smiled naively, making it impossible for anyone to see how "wisdom" he was.
Hayato didn't answer anything, he just walked towards the Fountain of Wisdom, standing in front of the clear spring water and feeling 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 in the mouth, and the brain is telling Hayato that this deliciousness and pleasure are called the pleasure of satisfying the desire for knowledge.
"Drink it, this is part of your destiny..." In Hayato's ears, there was even a faint voice like this.
"So Mimir, what's the price?" Hayato said without looking back, his back to Mimir.
"Huh? Are you asking me this all of a sudden? I don't want anything, but you said so..." Standing on the spot and doing nothing, Mimir scratched his head in confusion when Hayato suddenly said this.
Scratching his head, an idea suddenly came to him, "Okay, how about you compete with me? Just use the cards on your body?"
"Are you sure you want to duel me with cards?"
"Of course, I am a giant of wisdom, no one can beat me in terms of brain battles!"
"I'm very strong, right?"
"But I am the strongest!" Mimir pointed his thumb at himself, "I will win!"
Having not met a communication partner 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 Hayato's words, he fell on his back and Mimir said sadly: "I'm really sorry for not being able to let you enjoy yourself, Hayato..."
