Chapter 613: The Card Printer's Farewell Gift
Operating the dazzling data as it flashed before his eyes, Keipei furrowed his brow, revealing a strange expression.
"What's wrong, Keipei?" Kaiba beside him asked, "Can't you find the data for the Virtual Projection System here?"
Keipei shook his head. "That's not it. The data for the Virtual Projection System wasn't encrypted much because we accessed the database via a physical connection, so we've already copied all of it down."
"It's just that, just now, while searching the data based on the keyword 'Duel Monsters', I found something strange."
While speaking, Keipei typed a few keys on the keyboard and retrieved a file, putting it up on the big screen in the Data Center.
Appearing on the screen was a series of photos and strange data. Ancient Egyptian stone tablets, Atlantic Seabed Ruins, ancient murals, and various other strange photos and that data began to naturally combine and arrange themselves, and last, they actually formed Pegasus's face.
What was even more unexpected was that this Pegasus before them actually started moving and began to speak.
"Hello, Kaiba boy, Mokuba Boy~"
"Eeek! Just now when I was checking the data, I had no idea this thing would actually move!" Keipei was startled by the suddenly moving Pegasus, while Kaiba beside him also looked at the "Pegasus" on the screen with astonishment and said, "Pegasus, aren't you dead?"
"'Aren't you dead', Kaiba boy, you would definitely say something like that, wouldn't you, how heartless, it makes me sad." The Pegasus on the screen muttered. "Unfortunately, this data will only be released when the ownership of this Castle under our Crawford Family's name leaves my hands."
"Theoretically speaking, I should indeed be dead, otherwise this video wouldn't be played. At the same time, I also believe that the ones who could find this video from the Data Center of Crawford Castle are absolutely you, Kaiba boy and Mokuba Boy."
Kaiba looked at Pegasus's perpetually smiling face on the screen and snorted, "I'll just take what you said as a compliment to me."
Since what was before him was just a pre-recorded video, Kaiba naturally wouldn't interact with Pegasus, whose content wouldn't change, like a fool, but simply waited quietly for the video to play.
"Oh~ you're not talking to me, how sad." Pegasus in the video once again predicted Kaiba's thoughts, revealing a rather exaggerated "sad" expression. However, he stopped his performance extremely punctually before Kaiba got angry out of impatience and said with a serious face, "So now, let me tell you a secret, Kaiba boy."
"A long time ago, that was even before I created the cards for Duel Monsters based on the revelation from the Ancient Egyptian stone tablet monsters, when I was traveling the World, I came to know of the existence of beings called 'Legendary Dragons'. It's just that when I tried to make them into cards, I repeatedly failed, and at that time, I thought this legend might be fake."
"However, the recent global Duel Monster Materialization Event made me understand that the legend was not fictional, and the reason I couldn't create the cards was simply because I hadn't been chosen by the Dragons."
As he spoke, an exaggerated feeling of disappointment appeared on Pegasus's face.
If it were someone unfamiliar with Pegasus, they might actually think he was sad because he wasn't chosen by the "Legendary Dragons" due to his performance, but both Kaiba and Keipei knew Pegasus's true unpleasant nature, and had no intention of responding to him at all.
Pegasus, having gotten nowhere with his attempt, said with a helpless expression, "Even if it's a pre-recorded video, a little comfort for me would be nice, you know, Kaiba boy, Mokuba Boy."
"Alright, let's continue." On the screen, Pegasus shrugged and continued, "After learning that the mythology of the 'Legendary Dragons' was not fictional but true, I had an idea, which is that in some of the legends I collected, the 'Legendary Dragons' left their mark as 'Warriors' rather than 'Dragons'; this point seems a bit different from the situation in Reality."
"For this, I thought of a pretty good idea, and made this video after completing that card."
Pegasus gave a finger snap, and a Chibi plush doll of Relinquished appeared in his hand, which he held in his arms. "Just above the Castle, in the Toy Room next to My Bedroom, embark on an epic treasure hunt and pick up the prize, Kaiba boy."
"Ciao~" Saying goodbye in Italian, Pegasus's footage smiled and disappeared from the screen.
Keipei couldn't help but mutter, "This fake American can't even speak English well, why does he bother learning Italian?"
Kaiba, however, didn't pay much attention to Pegasus's strange spoken language. Instead, after confirming that he had collected the necessary data from the Data Center, he took Keipei and walked out of the Room, and then saw Alister doing the same thing as when the two of them entered the Data Center.
"Hmph, unexpectedly obedient," Kaiba said scornfully. "I thought you third-rate Duelist would try to escape when I wasn't looking because you couldn't stand losing." He took hold of one end of the rope binding Alister and handed it to Keipei, so Keipei led Alister, while he himself led the way.
If the one leading Alister had been Kaiba, he might have fiercely resisted this humiliation, but because the one leading him was Keipei, Alister merely gave Keipei a glance with a strange, slightly apologetic gaze and didn't say anything.
Alister's Duel Disk and Deck were left behind by Kaiba. He wasn't Hayato, who liked to 'borrow' other people's cards so much (Hayato: That's not 'borrowing', that's just normally collecting spoils!).
Although the Castle was very big, the Space design was quite reasonable and comfortable; it didn't give people the feeling of a Labyrinth. The three of them easily found Pegasus's Toy Room, and as soon as they opened the unlocked Room door, they saw a Room full of toys.
From Toon Egg Dragon, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, Toon Dark Magician Girl - these Toon Monsters, to Relinquished, Chaos Soldier - these Ritual Monsters, and then Gaia the Dragon Champion, Red-Eyes Black Sword Dragon - these Fusion Monsters, Pegasus's Toy Room was filled with all sorts of Chibi plush dolls of Duel Monsters!
"Oh oh oh! So many of these toys have never been released for sale at all, I really want to take them—" Seeing a Room full of toys, Keipei, who was already young and still a child, couldn't help but blurt out what was on his mind. "No, wait, now is not the time to talk about this."
"So many toys, no wonder that guy Pegasus called it a 'treasure hunt', how long will it take to find it!"
Unlike Keipei, Kaiba and Alister were not interested in the Room full of toys. It wasn't because they were older and didn't like toys, but rather—
Alister: "Tsk, what terrible taste, the World only needs toys of Meklord Monsters."
Kaiba: "Tsk, truly terrible taste as always, the World only needs toys of Blue-Eyes."
