Chapter 645: King Lei Guan, fading faith

The legendary giant is the collective name for the Holy Pillar King Regichkas and the multi-attribute elemental giants he created.

Due to many reasons such as characteristics and racial value distribution, these legendary elves have a very low presence in the game.

Especially Regigigas, a [slow start] feature made him a laughing stock among the mythical beasts, with a level of shame comparable to Groudon's inability to fly.

But regardless of the game, the influence of the Reggie family in reality is much greater than that of most other legendary elves.

For example, the dragon-type giant that Xia Chen had seen had become the most famous and mysterious dragon-type elves gathering place in the world, Dragon Island, just because of the dragon-type energy that escaped when it was sleeping.

.

It stands to reason that this is just a so-called "secondary god", but it can have such a great influence. The only explanation is that as a creation of Regichkas, its energy purity is exaggerated and terrifying.

Is this also true for the electric pillars in Crown Snowfield?

Xia Chen's mind became active. If it was similar to the dragon pillar on Dragon Island, then its significance to Zeraora would be extraordinary.

Zeraora is an outlier among the electric elves because it cannot generate its own electricity and can only store electrical energy from the outside.

You know, even Pikachu, who is jokingly called "more wild dogs on the roadside", can use the two red electric bags on his cheeks to generate electricity, but Zeraora cannot.

However, at the cost of this, it can continuously temper its body and energy intensity by absorbing electrical energy. This is Zeraora's unique advantage.

After being subdued by Xia Chen, Zeraora no longer sticks to absorbing unstable sky thunders as before, but instead absorbs the electric energy of electric beam wood and lightning birds more frequently.

Although they also have legendary strength, in terms of the purity of electrical energy, they are definitely not as pure as the electric pillars. After all, they are the creations of the Holy Pillar King Regichkas.

Therefore, this is a power bank that is an excellent match for Zeraora!

Xia Chen suddenly wanted to go back to Weimei Forest to pick up Zeraora and enter the Crown Snowfield together. This was a better place for special training for Zeraora than with Zangmarante.

It was decided that once we find the location of the ruined temple in the video, we will take Zeraora over.

Xia Chen thought so.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Miss Joy waved her small white hands in front of her eyes, and Xia Chen came back from his deep contemplation.

He said seriously: "It's nothing. This video has been of great help. Thank you, Miss Qiulian."

Xia Chen knew her name because every Miss Joy wore a work badge with her name and work number on her clothes.

Miss Joy naturally understood this. She immediately covered her bulging chest and said with a blush on her face: "You actually peeked at that place. Mr. Xia Chen is indeed as lustful as the rumors say!"

Xia Chen: "..."

…………

After chatting for a while about anecdotes about the Crown Snowfield, no valuable information was found. The conversation between Xia Chen and Miss Joy, the drama queen, ended, and the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Xia Chen opened a deluxe suite in the Elf Center, but this room was not luxurious in terms of size or facilities.

There was no way, no one came to stay at the Holiday Inn in the remote countryside. Xia Chen was not a person who just wanted to enjoy himself, so he quickly adapted to the environment.

It doesn't matter if the room is smaller. Most of the elves are practicing in the Pillar of the Sky and Weimei Forest. The remaining elves are just fine living with me.

As for the lack of heating and air conditioning, it would be a better solution. Let the Vulcan Moth dissipate some heat, and the whole room will be warm all night long.

Therefore, Xia Chen's first night in Dong Ning Village passed by just like that.

The next morning, Xia Chen woke up very early. After simply eating something for breakfast at the Elf Center, he set out for the location of the statue that Miss Joy mentioned.

He had to eat the meal one bite at a time. Although he was more curious about the electric pillar, he still wanted to investigate the legendary elves who were closer and had been frozen in the villagers' faith.

The statue was located on a hillside to the north of Dongning Village. Before Xia Chen left the village, he saw many villagers walking in that direction.

They were all hunched-backed old men, walking slowly towards the snow-covered hillside. Ma Huola beside them helped carry a bag of fresh fruits, and occasionally helped the old man who was struggling to walk.

.

It seemed that they were going to sacrifice the legendary elf.

With this in mind, Xia Chen, who originally planned to fly directly there on Gulledun, decided to walk there as well.

He quickly caught up with an old lady who was carrying the fruit alone without Ma Huola, and said warmly: "Let me help you carry it, grandma."

Before the old lady could answer, Zoroark, who transformed into a mahara beside him, reached out and took the bag, leaving her no chance to refuse.

The old lady glanced at Xia Chen in surprise, then at Zoroark who had already walked ahead and used flames to remove snow and clear the way, and nodded with a smile.

"Good boy, are you from outside the village?"

Xia Chen smiled and said: "Yes, grandma, I come from Donghuang, a very remote area. Have you heard of it?"

The old lady apologized and shook her head: "I am an old lady who has never seen the market. The farthest place I have been to is Shuizhou Town, where I traveled with the old man when I was young. Since he left, I have never left the village.

Already."

Xia Chen said softly: "This is good. The tradition of our hometown is that the leaves fall and return to their roots. When people grow old, they still feel that it is best to be at home."

The old lady showed a kind smile, "Okay, there is no need to comfort me, old lady. Let me tell you, young man, what are you doing in this remote mountain village of ours?"

Xia Chen did not dare to play tricks in front of the old lady. He said bluntly: "I am a mythology scholar. I want to study the god that your Dongning Village worships. Can you introduce it to me?"

"That's it... of course, let me think about where to start..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old lady’s dim eyes flashed with the glimmer of memories, and the look on her face became serious and solemn.

After being silent for a long time, she finally said: "Our Lord is a loving and kind King of Fertility..."

…………

The old lady spoke very slowly, and it was not until the two of them reached the statue on the hillside that she finished telling the story of the King of Fertility named [King Lei Guan].

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Crown Snow Plains did not have the extreme weather of snow falling all year round. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the [Crown Plateau].

People live and work here in peace and contentment, partner with the elves here, and live a life without any competition from the world.

Later, two legendary elves named Snowstorm Horse and Ghost Horse came to this place as the kings of the elves.

They were very angry with the humans on the Crown Plateau, thinking that they had usurped their territory, so they led their elves to continuously attack humans and their fellow elves.

Snowstorm horses and ghost horses are very powerful. One of them can spit out strong cold air that stretches for hundreds of miles, and the other can rob other living beings of their vitality.

The humans and native elves on the Crown Plateau are no match at all, and a complete defeat is only a matter of time.

At this critical moment, a kind and kind king suddenly appeared. He easily defeated two legendary horses and saved the humans and elves here.

After the Snowstorm Horse and the Ghost Horse were defeated by Queen Leiguan, they established a deep bond with her and became her beloved horses.

The two groups of humans and elves, who had been fighting for life and death before, began to live in harmony under the leadership of King Lei Guan.

In addition to his superb martial arts, King Lei Guan has the ability to heal and make plants and trees grow incredibly.

When it waves its right hand, flowers bloom and grass becomes green.

When it waves its left hand, the fields will be fertile and crops will be harvested.

Such incredible abilities allowed the humans and elves on the Crown Plateau to no longer have to worry about survival issues. They established a fertile kingdom here where humans and elves coexisted, and named King Lei Guan as their monarch.

Thousands of years have passed like this.

Humans and elves continue to iterate, but King Lei Guan always sits on the eternal throne.

Gradually, it appears less and less often, only blooming the glorious flower that allows all things to grow at regular intervals.

As a result, King Lei Guan's status in people's minds has transitioned from a monarch to a god.

A magnificent crown temple rose from the ground to accept the worship of the citizens.

However, I don’t know since when, the glorious flower that can make all things grow will no longer bloom one day.

The citizens thought that they might have angered King Lei Guan, so they kept cleaning the crown temple and offering crops as sacrifices even if their own rations were reduced.

But even so, the flower of glory failed to bloom again.

Naturally, with the passage of time, the custom of worshiping King Leiguan gradually disappeared, and the belief in it also disappeared.

…………

"In the end, perhaps it was the Lord's condemnation. The fertile Crown Plateau was covered with snow all year round and never looked like it was at the beginning. The kingdom existed in name only. People left here one after another in order to make a living. In the end, only our frozen village was left.

.”

The old lady looked up at the statue not far away and murmured: "Only we, the residents of Dongning Village, still retain the tradition of worshiping King Lei Guan."

Xia Chen asked curiously: "Then why didn't you choose to leave, but insisted on staying here?"

The old lady was silent for a while and said: "Actually, even we don't really believe in the existence of King Lei Guan, but the ancestral training passed down from generation to generation tells us that it was King Lei Guan who saved our ancestors and gave us new life.

No worship."

Xia Chen was silent. Rather than saying that the people in Dongning Village believed in King Lei Guan, it was better to say that it was a habit.

The old lady sighed again and said: "But now all the young people in the village are running away. I think soon, no one will remember this legend anymore, right?"

Xia Chen said softly: "No, at least I will still remember it, right?"

He already understood who this King Lei Guan was. He must be the king that Cang Xiang mentioned before leaving, who was once so powerful that even it admired him.

And from Cang Xiang's words, it can be heard that King Lei Guan does exist. It is even still in the Snowy Field of the Crown, but it has lost its power for some reason and has been gradually forgotten by people.

Xia Chen became more and more curious about this legendary elf named King Leiguan. What happened to it back then that caused the kingdom to decline and even the ecology of the entire plateau to change.

He decided to find the answer during this practice.

While he was thinking, the old lady had already taken the fruit from Zoroark's hand and walked towards the statue whose face had long been blurred by time and wind.

There were only a dozen old people who came to pay homage, which shows that what the old lady just said, "King Lei Guan will eventually be forgotten" is not a lie.

There is no weird or exaggerated ceremony. After placing the fruit in front of the statue and reciting a simple prayer, the worship is over.

…………

Xia Chen watched this scene silently. Suddenly, Zoroark stretched out his paw and poked his arm.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Chen asked calmly and telepathically.

Zoroark reminded in a voice that only two people could hear: "Zo-(In ​​the bush to the west, there is a line of sight peering at this place. Its soul is very strange, both weak and powerful, both void and

Solid.)"

Because of his experience in the spiritual world, Zoroark has an unusual perception of living beings and can clearly detect the characteristics of their souls.

Zoroark said it was strange, so Xia Chen naturally took this reminder to heart.

The strange soul... could it be King Lei Guan?

The god silently observes the believers worshiping it. Although it is a bit strange, it seems to make sense?

With this in mind, Xia Chen did not dare to use mental power or waveguide power to detect and alert the enemy. Instead, he sent a message: "I understand, let's not act rashly yet."

Zoroark nodded silently and stopped talking.

In front of the statue, the old people who had finished worshiping were chatting and laughing, supporting each other and preparing to leave.

The old lady even came over specifically to ask Xia Chen if he wanted to go back together.

"If you want to continue your research, you can stay at my house. Although the place is not big, it is much better than the rooms in the Elf Center that don't even have a fireplace."

Xia Chen declined the old lady's kindness and said that he would not go back to Dong Ning Village with her, but was going to enter the Crown Snowfield and start practicing.

Before leaving, Xia Chen looked at the fresh fruits in front of the statue and suddenly thought of a question: "Grandma, you bring so many fruits every time you worship. Have these tributes disappeared the next day?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes, they are all gone. What happened?"

Xia Chen pondered: "If it disappears, it means that someone or an elf will come every day to collect the sacrifices..."

The old lady understood what Xia Chen meant, shook her head and said with a smile: "You are thinking whether King Leiguan ate the sacrifice, right? Compared to that, I think it is more likely that it was eaten by the wild elves nearby."

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Yes, maybe I'm overthinking it. After all, how could there be such a shameful god who steals the sacrifices of believers?"

As soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of branches and leaves shaking in the bushes to the west, and the white snow fell softly, causing the old lady to look over there.

"what sound?"

Xia Chen shrugged and said with a smile: "Who knows, maybe it's a little mouse that stole the tribute?"
