Chapter 201 I turn a blind eye when I should cooperate with your performance (3.4k)
Unable to see more through the lens, Sirona directed Pokkisi to continue exploring.
As expected, after flying forward for less than half a minute, the corresponding statue of Palkia appeared in the camera.
The two legendary elf statues are similar in height and size, and it can be seen that the people of Xicui do not have any preference for who worships them more.
After discovering the statue of the two dragons of time and space, Sirona did not let Pokkisi continue to fly forward, but stopped nearby and made two more turns.
Xia Chen asked in confusion: "Sister Zhulan, what are you looking for?"
Sirona replied matter-of-factly: "As you said, there should be a statue of Giratina if this elf exists, right?"
Xia Chen was silent, it seemed to be the truth.
We are all the sons of Arceus, so there is no reason why we should not build a statue of Giratina for me, right?
But sometimes reality just doesn't make sense. Pokkisi flew around the area and couldn't find the expected statue.
This doesn't make sense...
Xia Chen touched his chin and thought about the reason why there was no statue of Giratina in this ruins.
Could it be that because Giratina was exiled, it wasn't built?
Or maybe Giratina was banished earlier, and the Xicui people didn't know about the existence of the ghost dragon?
Just as he was wondering, Xianbu, who had been watching quietly, suddenly spoke.
"Buy!"
Xia Chen and Sirona couldn't understand Elvish, but Togekis on the intercom could.
The plane hovered in the air for a moment, then dived downwards, focusing its camera on the lower part that had been ignored during the previous inspection.
What Yin Bu means is, is it possible that the statue is below?
Xia Chen and Sirona looked at each other in surprise, with confusion in their eyes.
How could such a big and tall statue go down?
However, following Pokkisi's lens, they actually discovered a... statue base.
The same pedestal as the Dialga and Palkia statues.
…………
Seeing this pedestal, Sirona became even more excited.
The appearance of the third statue base means that the possibility of the existence of the third dragon "Giratina" is increasing.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is the statue of Arceus, although this possibility is slim.
Sirona thought for a while and then commanded: "Pokkisi, blow the dust away with the wind, and don't move too much."
Pokkisi nodded in understanding.
A breeze blew by, and the dust drifted away, revealing the broken half of the statue inside.
With only a little bit of leg, I still can't tell whether it's Giratina or Arceus.
But through the fracture marks on it, Sirona could confirm one thing, "This statue was destroyed artificially."
If it was an event such as natural collapse, it makes no sense that only this one would be broken, while the other two statues would still be there.
What's more, there was no trace of the remaining statues on the ground.
Xia Chen was thoughtful and murmured to himself: "Because he was exiled to the reverse world, was Giratina's statue destroyed by people who no longer believe in it?"
Sirona shrugged and replied: "It should be so, no one dares to smash the statue of Arceus, right?"
She sighed with regret and said, "We just can't see what he looks like through the statue."
Xia Chen did know what it looked like, but with his painting skills, Sirona would probably ask, "Does it look like a green caterpillar?" or something like that.
Apart from these two half statues, there is nothing else particularly conspicuous in the ruins.
Letting Pokkisi return the same way, Sirona closed the computer and put it back into the storage ball. She stood up and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
…………
Although Pokkisi had already gone in and explored the ruins once before, Sirona and Xia Chen carefully put on a complete set of anti-virus, anti-explosion and anti-corrosion suits before entering the ruins.
Each of the two people held a large miner's lamp on their heads, which illuminated the ruins quite clearly.
The ruins were filled with large and small gravels. After ruling out the unknown elves sleeping here, Xia Chen and Lucario used their own methods to check whether there were anything hidden in the gravels from a thousand years ago.
Lucario's waveguide inspection speed is much faster than Xia Chen's super power.
Of course, this does not mean that the power of waveguide is stronger than super powers, it is just a simple difference in strength between the two.
While Xia Chen was still walking forward slowly, Lucario had already completed a circle and came back, holding a few round things in his hand.
The shape of this object is very familiar to the two trainers Xia Chen and Sirona. It exactly looks like a Poke Ball.
Sirona picked up one of them and marveled, "What kind of material is this made of? It can remain incorruptible for thousands of years."
The reason couldn't be seen with the naked eye, so Sirona put away these antique elf balls and prepared to take them back to use modern instruments to detect their composition.
Over there, Xia Chen, who was concentrating on searching for treasures in the rubble, finally found something.
He asked Senbu to use silk to move a few rocks, and also picked up a round object, but it was not a Poké Ball.
Xia Chen put it on his hand and weighed it. It was solid and quite heavy. It felt like even if the elf was hit in the back of the head, he would be stunned for a few seconds.
Putting the clay ball-like ball back into Sirona's storage ball, the two of them continued to move in the direction of the statue.
Along the way, Xia Chen and Lucario picked up a lot of things, including the elf balls and unknown pills just now, and other things that looked like natural jade.
It is worth mentioning that there are quite a few differences between the Poke Balls found.
It can be inferred from this that during the Washui Period, people had already made distinctions between Poké Balls.
Seeing Sirona's strong smile, Xia Chen felt that she should be quite satisfied with this exploration.
…………
After picking up trash along the way, Xia Chen and Sirona finally came to the statue of Dialga they discovered at the beginning.
】
Sirona took out her mobile phone and started taking pictures. Of course, it was not to take a photo, but to record it.
Such a big thing will definitely not be moved back for a while, and the alliance will have to deal with it then.
After Sirona took the photo, she was about to go to Palkiana. The fairy cloth at Xia Chen's feet jumped to the base of the statue, and then stretched out the silk satin and pulled it up.
What did you discover again?
Xia Chen and Sirona looked at each other in confusion. Because Senbu had previously reminded her about the broken statue of Pokkisi, they both felt that she might know something about this ruins, so they did not stop Senbu's actions.
But after seeing Senbu riding on Dialga's back, the silk satin stretched again. This time, the target was the position between Dialga's neck and torso.
Sirona was a little confused, but Xia Chen knew that that location was exactly where the diamond on Dialga's body was.
But isn’t this a statue made of stone? Shouldn’t the ones inlaid over there also be stones?
Xia Chen guessed wrong.
Xianbu, who successfully obtained the diamond, jumped down and threw the diamond tied with silk satin at the feet of Xia Chen and Sirona.
The diamond was covered with dust and looked no different from other parts of the statue, but after being blown by Togekis and washed with ice cloth, its original appearance was revealed.
This is a cobalt blue, crystal clear, huge diamond. Not to mention the fact that it was cut off from the statue of Dialga, just from its appearance, you can tell that it is worth a lot of money.
Obviously, from its origin, we can know that its value goes beyond just viewing.
Xia Chen looked at the diamond and looked a little confused, "Is this a diamond orb? It doesn't look like it..."
Sirona nodded solemnly and said: "It's not exactly the same. The same is true for the breath. This breath seems...purer."
Likewise, you can't tell the reason for this thing with the naked eye, so you can only take it back and talk about it later.
Sirona leaned over and touched Xianbu's head, praising: "Thank you, Xianbu, I'll give it to you when I go back... Well, tell Auntie what you want."
Xia Chen looked at Sirona quite speechlessly.
Aunts are here...
Xianbu and I are brothers, but you are just one generation above me, right?
…………
Sirona originally wanted to help Xian Bu find relevant breeding information, but suddenly she thought that the one in front of her was Yin Bu, the first fairy in the world.
Moreover, the fairy system has not been discovered for a few years, and everything is still in the exploratory stage. Now there is not even one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the fairy system, so the help she can provide to Senbu is really not much.
But this thing is undoubtedly a very important item. Sirona felt that it was unreasonable not to agree to anything, so in the end she had to draw a pie first.
"Buy~"
Xianbu rubbed his aunt's leg to express intimacy and nodded.
After thanking the fairy cloth, Sirona turned to look at Xia Chen and said apologetically: "Sorry, according to the rules of wild exploration, whoever finds the treasure belongs to whoever finds it, but the research value of this thing is too high...
"
"After I hand it over to the Sinnoh Alliance, I will try my best... no, I will definitely apply for something of equal value to compensate you. Don't worry about this."
Xia Chen smiled and nodded in agreement: "Well, you can arrange it. Without you bringing me here, Xianbu wouldn't have discovered this."
He has nothing to feel unbalanced. As he said, Sirona brought him to this place.
And he only came here to explore the secrets of Ghost Zoroa. Senbu's discovery of this was purely an unexpected surprise.
This place was originally commissioned by the Alliance to investigate by Sirona. Strictly speaking, everything here belongs to the Sinnoh Alliance.
It is impossible for all the good things in this world to belong to oneself. Instead of taking a illusory diamond like a diamond orb, it would be good to exchange for some equivalent resources.
After collecting the diamonds, they came to Palkia's statue.
As expected, where the pearls were inlaid on the side of the statue, a gem that looked like a white jade bead, but was larger and had a purer energy aura, was also taken out.
Of course, the discovery of this gem made Xia Chen eat another piece of cake fed by Sirona herself.
…………
After exploring the two complete statues, Xia Chen and Sirona turned their attention to the destroyed statue.
Will there be a gem corresponding to Giratina hidden over there?
The experienced Senbu Yibu rushed forward first and looked around, but to no avail.
She ran back with a little regret. The silk and satin were empty, and she seemed to have found nothing.
However, Xia Chen, who is keenly observant, discovered a black-gold scale-like thing under her front paw...
Senbu's actions were very much like the kind of person who sees money on the ground and then steps on it.
And Xia Chen knew without looking that Sirona and Lucario had definitely discovered Senbu's little tricks.
What's interesting is that after they glanced at Senbu's feet, they looked up at each other in tacit agreement.
"It seems there is nothing here."
Sirona started telling lies with her eyes open.
"Luca!"
Lucario nodded and cooperated with his trainer's performance.
The acting skills of the three actors were excellent, and Xia Chen, the only audience member, was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Sirona had already waved Lucario away, "Let's go and have a look over there."
One man and one dog turned and walked towards the depths of the unexplored ruins. Xianbu turned his head and blinked at Xia Chen before chasing after him.
Xia Chen was left alone looking at the mysterious black and gold scales on the ground, lost in thought.
In the end, desire defeated his will. Xia Chen walked slowly to the scales, leaned over and picked it up.
He was still muttering slightly: "I don't think anyone wants this..."
