No.84 Turning the target after the first appearance of the edge

At the crack of dawn. The eastern sky halo stained most of the dome, slowly dispelling the night.

There was a lot of noise and chaos near the collapsed lookout. The guards were busy like clockwork spinning tops, not only to clear the ruins as quickly as possible, but also to keep the clansmen and adventurers from getting too close, lest anyone be smashed, and for a time they wanted to grow eight legs.

The adventurers who make trouble at night have long since disappeared, and if it is dawn today, the curfew is lifted, and they can swagger as long as they shake the dust off their white clothes. And the two who were almost crushed to the bottom of the ruins had already taken advantage of the opportunity - or rather, the Beidou players did not forget the rules of the game at the moment of life and death, dragging the other person to the corner to avoid the guards, until the street became lively before blending into the flow of people.

Xiao Ye wanted to find a quiet place to talk, and was drilling in a remote and uninhabited direction. And Hidechi Ikawa, who was following her, babbled on a loop of thanks and apologies, and after hearing the fourth time, "I'm willing to provide any information as compensation, but I won't run away if you go to the infirmary first, I swear".

"You're from Guandu, right?"

Hidechi was stunned by this sudden sentence, "Yes...... But why do you suddenly ask this?"

The person on the other side was silent for a moment.

Even though he was wearing a mask, the heaviness and indescribability in the player's expression rushed out of the screen vividly, causing the audience in the live broadcast room who was still worried just now to laugh.

[Thank you for the invitation, coordinates Orange Islands, just finished fishing kelp and climbed back to the shore, the following text: There is no small mouth that hurts the tendons and bones and only sheds a few drops of blood, and our locals' treatment method is to shake it off and finish it hhh]

[Beidou: Don't read it, Master, don't read it]

[I'm laughing to death, Guandu people can make cool old brother become an emoji .jpg]

[Seriously...... The consequences of wound infection have been taught in elementary school textbooks, and how do you know if you have broken your muscles and bones without going to the hospital for examination?]

[+1, even starting to wonder if I live in modern society]

[Come on, brothers in Guandu, according to what you say, I had to die a hundred times when I was a child, and I didn't live well]

[To be honest, my family runs a hotel in the Orange Islands, but it's not that the people of Guandu are the most "careful", and if you wrestle and break the skin on the steps, you can complain that we don't lay the carpet because we want to hurt people]

Are the people of the Orange Islands proud of not knowing medical knowledge?

The Guandu people and the orange islanders who watched the live broadcast were inexplicably arguing as always, and the player on the screen, Beidou - who was defaulted by the audience to the southern brother, but was actually a real Guandu person - finally just perfunctorily wiped the almost dry blood on the back of his hand with his torn gloves, and then stopped at an uninhabited alley on the edge of the villa.

The collapse of the lookout may seem terrifying, but it is just a minor nuisance that Pokémon trainers can easily handle. The electricity released by Pichu swept away the smoke and sawdust, and the force of the waveguide knocked the falling object directly above it into the air, and the last thing that could touch the two men was a few fragments of wood.

Although Xiao Ya was unlucky enough to be hit by the sharp fracture of the wooden plank, it only left a wound on his wrist that was not too deep, and it was worse than this to be scratched by a fire-breathing dragon when playing with Pokémon - as a freelance trainer who is used to going up the mountain and going down to the sea...... Maybe there are also spiritual orange archipelagons, she really can't understand why an academic person like Hidechi Ikawa is obsessed with going to the infirmary.

"Let's talk?" said the adventurer, leaning against the grey stone wall, in a relaxed posture.

Hidechi Ikawa nodded, his gaze lingering on the blood-stained fingertips of the injured man.

Just now, he was vaguely aware of something.

Trainer "Beidou" first appeared in the Quartz Alliance in July of this year, followed by the Battle of Wind and Snow. He had only been on the scene for a long time, so the distinctive traits that appeared in a few shots, such as agility and high-speed combat talent, became his fixed label. Xiuzhi has always felt that Beidou should be a professionally trained, about fifteen or sixteen years old, a boy of the same age as him, as most netizens think.

It wasn't until the gloves worn by the adventurers were torn by a falling object and had to be taken off that Hidechi noticed the abnormality. The wide white cloaks covered the contestants' figures, and only the difference in height could barely be seen—but no matter how small the former's stature, the palms of fifteen-year-olds and ten-year-olds were very different, just as the shoulders of adults are always wider than those of children.

He glanced at the ubiquitous drone camera, and after thinking for a moment, he took off his intact gloves and handed them over to Beidou's vigilant gaze for some reason.

"The damage caused by my Pokémon going out of control, of course, I have to compensate. Xiuzhi said sincerely.

Xiao Ye was relieved to see that he finally stopped talking about the infirmary. As soon as he took the gloves, the boy was already gushing, "I'm sorry, our reckless behavior last night implicated you and your teammates, and in the end, my Pokémon even caused the observatory to collapse, and I have to trouble you to rescue me." For this reason, I am willing to use information as a reward - for example, maybe you don't know that there was a demonic beast attack in the Windy Snow Mountain Villa a year ago, and it was the three elders who led the team to fight off the demonic beast. But in fact, it was probably not the Demon Beast that launched the attack, and the mastermind behind the attack was inextricably linked with the Three Elders. ”

"I know. Beidou said calmly.

Hidechi: "Well, I'll change it then." There is a mysterious village to the northeast of Warcraft Villa, which can only be accessed at night. I have sent people to investigate, but no one has returned, and there is probably a deadly danger hidden in the village. ”

Beidou: "I know. ”

Hidechi: "...... How about this! The second elder's son, Jean, claims that his father refuses to see him for a whole year, isn't it? After investigation, we found that there was no one in the second elder's room at all, but only a monster made of ice!"

Beidou: "I know that, too. ”

Hidechi: "......"

Beidou: "I also know that the real Second Elder was killed in that attack a year ago. ”

Hidechi: "......"

Hidechi: "Farewell." ”

The audience at station N laughed until they lacked oxygen for a while, and finally didn't have time to carry out a regional battle.

Viewers who have been to Xiuzhi's personal live broadcast room know that he has actually explored a lot of information that Beidou does not understand. It's just a coincidence that the first thing that was thrown out happened to be repeated information, which hit Brother Xiuzhi into a trance.

Beidou stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "Don't say goodbye yet, I only have one thing I want to ask." ”

She lifted her mask, and the cold light of the snow-capped mountains was reflected in her light purple eyes, which looked cold and bright.

"Where have you been with the Emperor Sea Lion in the last few days?"

====================

Early morning. Far northwest kilometers away from the Wind and Snow Mountain, deep in the Silver Mountains.

Inside the huge crater, lush trees rise from the ground, mottled with dark green to obscure the appearance of the scattered buildings within.

"Tell me what you think. After the video on the screen was played, the young man threw out a sentence bluntly.

The most junior in the office has only just joined this year, and he's still stunned by the dramatic change in the way he paints his job—as a member of the school's intelligence unit in Silver Mountain, he's spent almost all of the first half of the year investigating and tracking poaching groups. Unexpectedly, after finally dealing with dangerous criminals, he turned into an admissions office, and was forced by the boss to watch many events this year every day, looking for outstanding young trainers and making evaluations, which made him almost schizophrenic.

However, keeping in mind the principle of "the least qualified should be the first to speak", he immediately spoke: "Last month, we did an analysis of this year's Quartz Alliance, and it was mentioned that the emergence of terrorists has made some trainers show excellent crisis response ability and on-the-spot performance, including Beidou. The Battle of Blizzard is a live-streamed match, making it easier for us to observe his every move and evaluate his abilities in detail - at Blizzard Lodge at night, he has repeatedly shown near-pro action, such as last night's brilliant stealth to evade all watchers. ”

The hairy boy who had just joined the company scratched his head and said puzzledly: "But the five wild seniors, do you want to send him an admission invitation letter when you talk about him alone today?" Netizens speculated that he had received professional training, which school should he be a graduate ......of?"

The young man who was called the five wild seniors grinned and interrupted the newcomer's speech with a wave of his hand: "Do you believe what netizens say?"

The newcomer was stunned and hesitated: "Isn't it right......?"

"Of course. The five wild fingers pointed to the screen and said, "Note that he was quite clumsy in commanding the dream demon during the whole process of trying to sneak up, and his action strategy was no different from fighting alone. No graduate would be so ignorant of the power of Pokémon, and if the Dream Demon and Pichu were properly used, their journey would be much easier than it is now. ”

The youth excerpted a few key passages from the video, gushing out an all-round criticism of the immature practices of the people in the video. In the end, Goshino concluded: "Obviously, this is a complete newbie. He had never attended any Trainer Academy or military academy - unless he was expelled from school after not listening to a single class. ”

He looked at the newcomer, "So, why do you think a newbie can do this?"

The newcomer, whose views had just been criticized, thought for a while with a sad face.

"Ah, is he killing ......"

"If you dare to say something like 'he's from a killer family,' I'll beat you up. ”

“......”

The newcomer who is so helpless that the brain circuit runs to the unrealistic track does not dare to speak out.

Gogano didn't seem to expect the newcomer to be able to say the right answer, so he snorted and explained, "Don't forget, this is a player who has made a name for himself in the Quartz League by fighting at high speeds. ”

"What do you mean......" the newcomer thought.

"He's a natural thinker and can handle high-speed combat with his reflexes, even if he doesn't have as much experience as a graduate. So, of course, he can rely on the same talent to help him evade the guards. Gonono tapped his temple, "We all know that the so-called 'reaction speed' in fierce battles can be improved by experience and training, but it is still talent that determines the upper limit. ”

The young man pressed the pause button, and the white-robed adventurer in the picture was like the wind, running lightly on the eaves.

"There's no doubt about it – this is a young man who was born to fight. ”

"I understand!" the newcomer nodded suddenly, "so we're going to send him an admission invitation?"

Goshino glared at him angrily, "What do you say?"

"Oooo ”

The newcomer crackled on the computer for a while, and his expression gradually slipped from full of energy to confusion and confusion, and then became panicked. He hesitated for a moment before he cautiously spoke, "That, five wild seniors, I just checked his trainer's homepage and found that he didn't fill in his email address. ”

The young man was stunned - the personal homepage on the official website is the face of the trainer in the online world, and there are very few people who have not even written down the basic information, "What about the phone number and address?"

"I didn't fill it in either. ”

"Then contact the Quartz Alliance or the organizer of the Wind and Snow Campaign, didn't the college's public mailbox permission be given to you earlier?"

"I've already asked......," the newcomer said embarrassedly, "Both of them said that Beidou signed up directly with a trainer license at the Pokémon Center, and they didn't leave their contact information." ”

Goshino: "......"

He looked at the sturdy white shadow on the screen that was climbing the lookout, and calmly added an extra assessment to this person in his heart.

It is suspected that he grew up with monkeys in the primeval forest.

====================

Wind and Snow Lodge.

Saya maintained the posture of pushing the door, rubbing her eyes suspiciously.

At this moment, it was just breakfast time, and the sister and brother, who had already escaped smoothly, sat at the table obediently and prepared to eat. And the old man sitting across from them ......

Xiao Ye closed the door and cautiously bowed to the people in the room first, "Hello, respected Great Elder, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

The Great Elder, the kind old man sitting at the table, smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I'm just here to visit my grandson." ”

As he spoke, he patted the young man beside him on the shoulder.

Karl hung his head and whispered a little crampedly to greet the adventurer who had just entered the door. And Linda, the noisy maid in the past, didn't dare to make a big fuss in front of the old man, and was busy in the kitchen.

As ex-bear children who have been overactive and taught every day since they were children, the Terashima siblings are not very good at facing their elders, and they eat a meal like pins and needles. Finally survived the breakfast time, and the two were about to pull the eldest to slip away, when they saw the eldest elder looking at them with a smile.

"Kids, it's been three days since you arrived at this lodge. I wonder if you've found Morton's mother, the snow demon girl with the Crest pendant of the Ice Vision?"

Sayo: "......"

Lijiu: "......"

Long Xing: "......"

Ancestor, why are you still in this scene?

The old man looked at the adventurers lovingly, and understood to himself that their blank expressions were ashamed that the work was not going well, "Don't be ashamed, children, this is what I am capable of. As an employer, I think I have an obligation to give you some leads. ”

The Grand Elder gently placed an old copper coin on the table.

"It's a coin that Morton's mother once used, and it may still smell like it. If you have a monster with a keen sense of smell, you might want to try tracking scents. ”

The sisters and brothers only felt that there were thousands of complaints they wanted to say - not to mention that the mother of the three elders was a broken script of Pokémon, what smell can remain for so many years, I'm afraid it's not a fox smell, right?

Xiao Ye caught a glimpse of the blurred pattern on the copper coin, and her expression suddenly changed imperceptibly.

"I see. She stood up, took the coin, and saluted the Grand Elder solemnly.

"We are willing to accept this task. ”

The adventurers had supposedly been looking for the Snow Demon Maiden in the ice field for three days, and it was as if they were deliberately provoking to say "accept" at this moment. But the Great Elder didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and just watched with relief as Xiao Ye put away the copper coins, and then said, "As far as I know, Morton's mother last appeared in the northeast of the ice field, you can go there and look for it. ”

With that, he stood up, said goodbye to the adventurer, and went out with Carl. Li Jiu and Long Xing were so fooled that their heads were full of question marks, and they didn't care to be curious about what happened last night, and as soon as the door closed, they asked anxiously, "Boss, what's going on?"

Xiao Ye looked at the faintly visible back of the maid in the kitchen, and finally said succinctly-

"Our next goal is 'curling'. ”

====================

Small Theatre:

Grand Elder: (calmly) How many versions of the script do you guess I memorized?
