Chapter 419 Awakening Temple, Grass Green Orb! (7k)
"No matter how many times I look at it, the elegance and beauty of this Meena will never fade at all!"
Mikri stared at Menas resting in the elf treatment room as if on a pilgrimage, and sighed slightly absentmindedly.
Xia Chen said helplessly on the side: "That's okay, Teacher Mi Keli, you have been watching for half an hour, let the child have a good rest."
More than half an hour has passed since the battle just ended.
If it was just a normal-intensity battle, even if he lost his fighting ability, Menas would have almost recovered by now.
As for the intensity just now, according to the diagnosis report of Ms. Joy from Liuli Gym, it is recommended to rest for a whole day, after all, it is a real depletion of energy and physical strength.
However, according to Menas, who had just woken up, he gained more from such a battle than a hundred ordinary battles, which was considered worthy of his efforts.
Duolongqi and Gardevoir, who had almost recovered, were left to accompany Menas in the ward to relieve their boredom. With Joey and Happy Egg taking care of them, Xia Chen didn't have to worry too much.
He and Mikri went to meet his teacher, the former Liuli Gym Leader Adam, and have lunch by the way.
Behind the Liuli Gym is the ancestral home of Mi Keli, a Liuli citizen, a manor-style building full of Fengyuan aristocratic style in the medieval period.
Currently, there are only two masters and apprentices, Adam and Mikri, who live there. There is a team of nearly 40 people including housekeepers, chefs, maids, etc., which is very Old Money.
When Xia Chen saw Adam, the latter was fighting Qianli on the battlefield——
The battle between Thorn Dragon King and Da Wang Yan was fierce, and it was difficult to decide the outcome for a while.
However, the two of them did not dwell on the final outcome. After seeing Xia Chen arriving, they took back their elves and handed them to the waiting medical team to take them over for treatment.
The four of them sat on the balcony next to the battlefield, enjoying the scenery, drinking tea, and chatting.
…………
"Haha, Mr. Xia Chen is really young and promising. I just watched the battle between you and Mikri. Qianli and I both felt itchy for a moment, so we had a small sparring session. We have been waiting for a long time."
Adam, who was wearing a decent aqua blue dress, greeted Xia Chen with a hearty smile, and then took a sip of tea. His posture was elegant but not feminine, and he had the demeanor of a "charming playboy" who was missed by countless Fengyuan ladies and eldest ladies.
.
Qianli, who had a shaved head next to him, was walking in the style of another tough guy. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Since we are going to fight, we have to finish it well. What's the point of not giving up in the middle of the fight."
It seems that he is quite complaining about the suspension of the battle just now.
Adam laughed and said: "We have fought so many times, this time is right. Anyway, you have to stay in Liuli City for a while, so we can fight again in the afternoon."
After making a promise, Qianli was willing to let Adam go.
After the old friends settled their little conflict, Xia Chen replied with a smile: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Adam."
Adam said very politely: "I should say this. I have been staying in Liuli City for the past two years. I never expected to see a young talent like you. Thanks to Mi Keli, Liuli City was declared a gorgeous celebration."
It’s the host city.”
Mi Keli, who was cueed, squinted his eyes and answered with a smile: "Teacher Adam and I are both one of the main persons in charge of the gorgeous celebration competition. It just so happens that Xia Chen is here, and if we invite Miss Ma Xiu over, it can be regarded as a gorgeous celebration."
It’s a small high-level meeting for the celebration.”
Xia Chen naturally went back with polite greetings and flattery. Among the four of them, only Qianli was silent and silent——
As a staunch opponent of glamorous competitions, breaking into this party felt like a snake coming in to kill a meerkats, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Adam, who noticed his old friend's abnormal mood, smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Okay, don't be so arrogant. I have judged two games of that kid Ruby. He is very talented, no matter it is
This is true for both trainers and coordinated trainers. Besides, why do you think it is a waste to invest time and energy in gorgeous competitions? The coordination skills required in gorgeous competitions are also very beneficial to his career as a trainer."
Qianli, who knew his friend very well, glanced sideways at Adam, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear - "Fool, keep fooling!"
Adam was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Chen with a vague look, as if he had found a strong proof.
"Look, isn't this boy Xia Chen the best proof? Being the champion of the first gorgeous competition, does it affect his achievements in the battle of elves?"
Qianli was startled and was about to retort when he heard Adam say again: "Or do you mean that you don't have that kind of confidence in your son Ruby?"
Qianli smiled bitterly, how could he answer this?
Do you admit that Ruby does not have the same talent as Xia Chen?
Although it is true, for him, as a father, he does not want to belittle his son in this way.
But not refuting it is tantamount to a disguised admission of Adam's argument that "participating in the glamorous contest is not a matter of playing sports to lose one's ambition."
This move is absolutely fatal and has no solution.
…………
"Okay, there is a saying in Donghuang that [children and grandchildren will have their own blessings], don't worry about Ruby, have fun in Liuli City for a while, and then go back and be the owner of the hall, prepare for the battle of the king, you have it too
It’s your dream, isn’t it?”
Under Adam's persuasion, Qianli nodded dullly.
Although he is a stubborn person, being stubborn does not mean that he is unreasonable and cannot listen to what is said.
Although Adam's words were a bit sophistical, they still made sense in a way, and he felt much relieved at this moment.
But he was a little unwilling to be manipulated by Adam so easily, and couldn't help but retorted: "That's right, but it's a pity that you won't be able to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren."
The playboy who is still single is not married, let alone children and grandchildren.
Qianli originally wanted to win back the victory with these words, but Adam smiled mysteriously, "Did you know? In fact, there is another half to this sentence."
Qianli felt something was wrong, but he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is the second half of the sentence?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Chen, a native of Donghuang, reminded: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will enjoy the blessings without children and grandchildren."
Adam laughed loudly and patted his friend on the shoulder, "Sorry, I have an appointment with Miss Aisha this afternoon. Our battle should be left to tomorrow. Well, that's not possible. I'm going to Shuijing City to meet Mrs. Fiona tomorrow.
Let’s go see a musical together. We can only make an appointment next time.”
Qianli was brutally killed and completely turned into autistic.
After resolving Qianli's worries, life coach Adam began to do Xia Chen's psychological work again.
"Young man, what about you? I see that there seems to be an indelible haze in your heart. Have you encountered anything troublesome?"
Xia Chen was shocked. Is this person able to read minds? Is it so accurate?
But then he thought about how some old charlatans in his previous life would use this anchoring technique to strike up a conversation with someone, and he would say, "Let me count on my fingers, you must have been troubled recently, right?"
That's right. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't have troubles?
But then again, Adam probably wasn't that kind of person, maybe he was just looking for a topic.
While Xia Chen was thinking, Mi Keli had already answered for him first.
"Xia Chen is worried about the gorgeous battle exhibition match at the opening ceremony of the gorgeous celebration. He is a little unsure, but let me see, even if I bring out the main elves, he will have a way to deal with it."
Xia Chen: "."
There is no need to fight one Gyarados and almost wipe out Doronqi and Menas. How do you want me to stand up to a gorgeous 1v1 battle?
But since Adam mentioned this matter, Xia Chen decided to share some of his doubts with them first.
After all, although the three of them are just gym owners, they all have the strength of a king, and they can be regarded as the top combat power in the Fengyuan region.
If something uncontrollable happens then, you can be mentally prepared.
He organized his language and said: "I do have some doubts, probably about the recent weather. I suspect that the recent abnormal weather in the Hoenn area may be related to the two legendary super-ancient elves."
…………
After hearing Xia Chen's words, the three of them had different expressions.
Qianli's expression was more of an unknown shock, while Master and Disciple Adam and Mikri were simply surprised, as if they had some psychological presumptions about what Xia Chen said.
Mikli looked serious and said: "Did you know any information?"
Xia Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There is no concrete information or evidence, but based on what I saw along the way in Fengyuan and my experience with the legendary elves, I think the possibility is not small."
Adam pondered slightly and said, "Elaborate."
ten minutes later.
".That's about it as far as I know."
Xia Chen roughly told the three of them everything except Huoyan and the Key Stone, including his own and Gulledon's conjectures.
Mi Keli said calmly: "If it's just these, it really doesn't count as evidence, and even as a conjecture, it's a bit far-fetched. As a citizen of Liuli, I am willing to hold the same position as you and view this matter pessimistically, but the Alliance
"
He shook his head slightly, and the meaning was self-evident.
Adam added: "The thousand-year prophecy of the Meteor People is approaching, and no one there pays attention to it, let alone this even more unfounded conjecture. It is impossible for them to enter a state of martial law because of this, because this kind of thing
The cost is simply too great.”
Xia Chen smiled bitterly and nodded.
Of course he understands this kind of thing. Once the alliance enters a state of martial law, people will fall into panic. Schools will be suspended, businesses will be suspended, factories will be suspended, and the entire society will be paralyzed.
If a disaster really comes, it's okay, it's just a false alarm. Who will be responsible?
Even if Xia Chen is a stupid young man who pats his chest and promises, "I will take responsibility," he will still be retorted with "Are you worthy of this responsibility?"
Mi Keli could probably understand what Xia Chen was thinking, and comforted him: "If you are really worried, I will take you to the Awakening Temple guarded by our Glazed People this afternoon to have a look. I can't find any clues."
must?"
Xia Chen said gratefully: "Thank you very much. I hope I'm overthinking this matter."
The other three people were a little silent. Following the precedents of the Carlos and Padia regions, they all had some doubts in their hearts as to whether the two great gods would wake up.
Perhaps because this topic was a bit heavy, several people were not very interested after that. It was not until the housekeeper came over to call them to eat that their emotions returned to normal.
…………
As an old aristocrat in the Fengyuan region, of course he is very particular about his banquets. Appetizers, main meals, and desserts can total more than twenty dishes. Well, there are more than twenty dishes for everyone and the elves.
The main thing is to have an exquisite and satisfying meal.
But having said that, the overall taste of the dishes is still good. In addition, the Fengyuan delicacies that have been rarely eaten before have special features. Xia Chen and the elves are quite satisfied.
In the afternoon, Adam and Qianli continued the unfinished battle in the morning, while Mikri took Xia Chen to the Awakening Temple not far from the Liuli Gym as promised.
The light rain in the morning had long since stopped, and the sky was a clear blue color after the rain—a color that Miccoli praised for its elegance.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xia Chen always felt that the sky here was a little low, and the clouds reflected in the volcanic lake in the center of Liuli Ancient City were so close that they seemed to be within reach.
The beautiful scenery after the rain also caused many tourists walking to stop and take photos by the lake, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
The ancient city of Liuli is not big, and the Awakening Temple is on the east side of the volcanic lake, across the lake from the Liuli Gym.
It is said to be a temple. It is essentially a cave. However, Groudon may have participated in the construction of this cave. The interior is very neat and spacious, almost like a man-made palace, so it is called a temple.
Legend has it that this is the place where all the elves in the Hoenn region originate from life, and the place where life ends is the Sacred Mountain.
Of course, the source of this legend is not reliable, and there are even similar legends in every region.
The Awakening Temple is a place guarded by the people of Liuli for generations, and is a place where tourists are prohibited from visiting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the past, a large number of elves may have been needed to guard, but in modern times, it is not so rigid. Mikri has set up a relatively modern and strict access control at the entrance.
Just add a few elves to take turns on duty.
After all, there is nothing valuable worth stealing in the Temple of Awakening, so guarding it strictly is tantamount to flirting with a blind man.
As Mikri passed through the gate, Xia Chen entered the place where Groudon or Kyogre awakened in the game's plot——
Why do I say "or"? Because the awakened mythical beast will change depending on the game version. The other one awakens in the underwater cave southeast of Liuli Island.
I don't know what the real world will be like.
After entering the Awakening Temple, Xia Chen released Gu Ledun.
He wanted to know if this guy, who was also a legendary elf and whose name and color were similar to Groudon, could be of some reference.
The two of them walked slowly towards the cave, paying attention to the details in the cave.
…………
The cave is very dark, and you need to rely on the fire energy illumination actively released by Guluton to see the internal structure clearly.
When you first enter the temple, there is a fairly spacious corridor, about four or five meters wide and high.
What's strange is that there are some abstract, mural-like patterns on the walls. Xia Chen can only vaguely see that the two fools of Fengyuan are creating land and oceans, and they are fighting behind them. The other content is more difficult to identify.
.
Mi Keli explained on the side: "The creator of these murals is unknown. Anyway, they already existed when we Liuli people were responsible for guarding this place. The content of the murals should be about the creation of the world by two gods, and then they fought for natural energy, and then
Rayquaza took action to stop it."
Xia Chen nodded clearly, then looked at the big red lizard beside him and asked: "Guluton, what do you think?"
Gulerton, who was also observing the mural, glanced sideways and replied: "I see with my eyes."
Xia Chen shook his head.
Tsk, that smelly lizard is not cooperating at all.
Keep moving forward.
After walking several hundred steps, the corridor is about to end, and behind it is the legendary Temple of Awakening.
However, Xia Chen was not in a hurry to go in, but looked at the mural on the wall at the end of the corridor.
On the left, right, and above, there is a lifelike elf mural - at least it is more lifelike than the abstract work just now.
And these three elves are the Hoenn Three Idiots. To be precise, they are the Hoenn Three Idiots who have returned to the original and evolved into mega!
Touching the iconic "Ω" pattern on the original return Groudon's arm on the mural, Xia Chen turned to look at Mikri and asked: "Do you know what this is about?"
Mikri hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is a secret passed down from generation to generation in our family. Rumor has it that this was the first and most powerful appearance of the two elves. Later, the natural energy weakened and the two elves could not maintain their strength.
Such a huge body and powerful strength have degenerated into what people remember now."
"It is said that the reason why they fight is also because of this. As long as the land or ocean area is large enough, the natural energy provided by the earth and sea water will be enough for them to return to and maintain their appearance at their peak."
After a pause, he looked up at Super Rayquaza above his head and continued: "As for Rayquaza, I don't know. Maybe the people of the Meteor know about it."
"I see."
Xia Chen murmured to himself and nodded. This information was very different from the impression in his memory of that world. It also made a reasonable supplement to the battle between the two fools.
After taking a few photos to keep, they continued forward and entered the real inner area of the Temple of Awakening.
…………
Compared with the inside of the cave, which has its own cave, the corridor outside is completely cramped.
Although this place is a natural formation, it is so majestic that it can be called a temple.
The height of tens of meters from the top of the cave explains why the temple looks like a small hill from the outside.
The two huge, lifelike stone sculptures of Groudon and Kyogre stood tall, making Xia Chen wonder if they were actually sealed in the statues.
Faced with Xia Chen's worries, Mi Keli smiled and explained: "No, these two stone sculptures were built by my ancestors. They are all great artists. If we can really resurrect the two legendary elves from the statues,
If you come out, you will be a god."
Xia Chen then put aside his doubts and took a closer look at the two statues.
The appearance of the statue is that of regular Groudon, not the original return.
It's quite high. It's more than 20 meters tall at a glance. I don't know if it's a 1:1 replica, but it's much higher than the meters written in the game's illustration.
To be honest, the description of the legendary elves in the illustrated book is really outrageous. The Regirock that can drag the continent is only less than four meters.
The same goes for Groudon, who created the earth. He is only three or four meters tall. Even if he returns to his original form, it will only be five meters tall.
Is this going to create a furry land?
If you were really dragged to a certain place by Hupa, you wouldn't be able to walk back - five meters. You would drown within a few steps of entering the sea.
Xia Chen's imagination of Groudon in this world should be like that of a giant beast, at least as tall as the monster in Ultraman.
In other words, it would be nice to have Yveltal's ability to change size at will.
Thinking like this, Xia Chen looked at Gulton again and asked, "Will you grow bigger?"
Therefore, Luton replied seriously this time, "It was possible before, but not now."
Xia Chen shrugged and did not ask further questions.
After walking around the two statues twice and finding nothing unusual, Xia Chen and Mi Keli sat down to drink water and rest.
Xia Chen suddenly asked: "Actually, I have always had a doubt. Why do you Liuli people worship and protect two legendary elves who have a bad relationship at the same time? Aren't you afraid that you will not please both sides?"
This kind of behavior is almost outrageous compared to reciting Amitabha Buddha and then reciting Infinite Heavenly Lord in the previous life - the fierceness of the dispute between Gugai and Buddhism is not far behind.
Mikri smiled slightly and replied: "I asked my father this question when I was very young, and he asked me, if there is only one Groudon and Kyogre, or one of them really defeated the other.
, what will this world become?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Chen was a little impressed and said: "Your ancestor is really a man of great wisdom."
He turned around and asked: "However, if you have this idea, why don't you believe in Rayquaza? After all, it is the one that holds the balance between the two."
Mikri gave him a strange look, "Are you looking for the People of the Meteor?"
Xia Chen: "."
This makes sense, you two should just merge.
…………
According to Mikri, the people of Liuli come to the temple every December to worship the Fengyuan Twin Fools and pray for good weather in the coming year.
Although it is a bit superstitious, it is a tradition after all, and it only happens once a year, so Mikri doesn't have much objection to it.
It has been ten years since he inherited the title of "People of the Glazed Glass" from his father who went out to engage in art creation ten years ago.
"Speaking of it, there has never been a very serious natural disaster in the history of Fengyuan. The Alliance should give us the Glazed People an award."
Mikri joked.
Xia Chen asked: "Is there historically such high temperature weather in the west this year?"
Mikri spread his hands, "I don't know about this, but it seems like it has never happened since I can remember."
Xia Chen nodded thoughtfully.
The Awakening Temple is neither too small nor too big. Except for two statues and an altar, there is nothing else.
After walking around for a while, Xia Chen and Gu Lerton found no valuable information clues, so they were inevitably a little discouraged.
Everyone and the dragon were ready to return empty-handed, but Mi Keli suddenly made a small discovery.
"Xia Chen, come and take a look at this."
Michaeli stood by the altar in front of the statue and waved in Xia Chen's direction.
Xia Chen and Gu Ledun hurried over.
Mikri pointed to a conspicuous crack on the altar that was as wide as a finger, and said: "I am very sure that when I came here to worship more than half a year ago, there was no such crack."
Xia Chen nodded, released the power of the waveguide and looked inside, and found that part of the altar was hollow.
Why is it hollow? What is hidden inside?
Putting aside his doubts for the time being, he looked deeper and found a round bead at the bottom?
Xia Chen was shocked. Judging from the regularity, ordinary stones in nature would not be so regular and round.
So, is this the indigo orb or vermilion orb that Team Lava and Team Ocean are looking for?
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Mi Keli on the side looked at Xia Chen's shocked expression and asked quickly.
Xia Chen nodded and asked with a puzzled expression: "Do you know what is hidden here?"
Mikri shook his head in confusion, and his curiosity became even more intense.
Xia Chen took out the elf ball and released the fairy cloth, and said to her: "Fairy cloth, there is something hidden at the bottom of this crack. See if you can use silk to take it out."
"Buyi!"
Xianbu nodded and inserted a piece of silk through the gap.
…………
A few moments.
After groping for a while, Xianbu said excitedly: "Buyi! (I touched it!)"
Although the silk satin did not have the detection ability like the power of waveguide, the hollow space in the altar was only so big, so she quickly found the orb.
Xia Chen looked happy and said, "It's great. Can you take it out?"
The satin slowly retracted, becoming shorter and shorter. At the last moment, Xianbu said awkwardly: "Buyi. (I seem to be stuck.)"
Xia Chen looked down and saw that the width of the crack was much narrower than the orb wrapped in Xianbu silk, and Xianbu could not take it out.
If you want to take it out, I'm afraid you have to grow this crack.
Xia Chen silently looked at Mi Keli beside him, his meaning was self-evident.
After all, this is the place where the Liuli people have guarded and worshiped for generations. His opinion must be sought before starting construction.
Mikri shrugged helplessly, "It's all cracked. It doesn't matter if it's big or small."
Xia Chen patted Mikri's shoulder and said gratefully: "I don't know whether the Fengyuan Alliance will give you an award or not. I will definitely make you a banner after this matter is over."
Mi Keli asked curiously: "Pennant? What is that?"
Xia Chen, while greeting Gulerton to start construction, simply explained: "Donghuang characteristics, it will probably have slogans like "Thank you to the people for being a good gym owner, a new trend of helping others", which can be hung in the hall of your gym to dazzle.
I commend you for your noble character."
Mikri nodded suddenly. Although it sounded a bit strange, he believed in the aesthetics of the winner of the gorgeous contest and said with interest: "Okay, there happens to be some space next to the "Birth of Menas" painted by the ancestors on the wall of the hall.
It fits well there."
Xia Chen nodded happily, "That's a deal."
While the two were chatting, Guluton raised his claws and lowered his hands. The sharp claws cut the crack to a size just big enough to accommodate the entrance and exit of the orb, and Xianbu was able to take it out.
Because it had just been completely wrapped in silk satin, the color of the orb did not show up, so Xia Chen felt like he was opening a blind box.
Will it be red or blue?
He watched nervously and curiously as the silk fabric gradually unfolded.
Suddenly, a bright green light suddenly shined in the darkness.
Xia Chen was slightly startled. Is this a grass-green orb?
