“...... Monsters?"

Xiao Ye's face was a little strange. The Pokémon Alliance capital is inhabited by monsters underground, which is a bit too novel.

"That's right, now this word has spread all over Mihara City. Xiao Ling nodded thoughtfully, "It is said that as long as you take the subway at dusk, it is possible to reach an abandoned site that is uninhabited." Then, the masked monster will appear out of thin air and eat the visitor!"

“......”

Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian looked at each other silently, and looked at the girl's brother together. Xiao Jie, who received the two glances, blinked, and also sat upright, and said, "Don't you think things are very strange? Such an untrustworthy urban legend can be talked about by people with relish, and there must be something greasy in it." ”

As soon as Xiao Jie said this, his twin sister's eyes also became vicious.

"Hey, dude...... That's not what you said yesterday when you went on an expedition!"

It turns out that there is never a shortage of topics for quarrels between Xiaojie and Xiaoling, even if Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian are not very lively personalities, they can still amplify the sound of four people chatting into the effect of ten people.

Seeing that the little Pichu on his shoulder had clamped his ears unbearably, Xiao Ye had no choice but to smile helplessly and take off the little guy and stuff it into his arms, maybe he could still isolate some of the sound.

Xinghai didn't have breakfast with everyone today, and it was said that he had already set off to meet his friends. As always, the four young people disbanded after breakfast and entered free time.

Night's mission is still to search for materials related to the Eclipse Rebellion at the Alliance's National Library. Yesterday she almost rummaged through the history books of 500 years ago, but found no relevant clues. So, this time she plans to change her mind - looking for the catastrophic events related to the mythical beasts recorded in history, and maybe she can catch any clues.

The library is quiet in the early morning. Countless bookshelves stretched neatly into the distance, and the light illuminated the blurred words on the spine of the book, and the air seemed a little too serious, making people unconsciously lighten their breath.

Each floor of the National Library of the Union is so large that it feels like you're almost overwhelmed by a sea of books. Without using the library's computer to look up the location of the books they need, almost no one can find the right target. And even if the keywords are locked on "Divine Beasts" and "Historical Events", Xiao Ye still needs to face several rows of tall bookshelves.

Her gaze swept over the earthy dark wood streaks of the shelves, searching for the book she wanted.

"The Present Record of Divine Beasts", "Legendary Pokémon that Bring Disaster", "War between God and Man" - In this world where humans and Pokémon coexist, the mythical beasts with the power to destroy the world have always been the focus of human attention. From ancient times to the present, they have helped and saved mankind countless times, and have also brought disasters to the human world countless times, and there are countless books related to them. Xiao Ye didn't have time to read them one by one, so she could only choose a few representative ones first.

Heavy books were piled up on Saya's hands, and the height was quickly level with her shoulders, which seemed to drown out the dwarf humans. The "Divine Beast Present Catalogue" alone, which is considered the most authoritative by the public, is a full eight volumes, and even if Xiao Ye doesn't plan to read it intensively, I'm afraid it will take a whole day to read it all.

As she tiptoed to take down the last book, her fingers poked out to catch the cool mist.

The power of the waveguide faintly sent an uneasy rhythm. Xiao Ye followed the movement and looked sideways, and her eyes crashed into a silvery white.

It was a very tall young man. He walked slowly, strands of ice-colored hair that hung almost to his knees swaying gently with his stride, reflecting the hazy color of the fluorescent lamp. As if noticing Xiao Ye's gaze, the young man raised his calm eyes and nodded politely to her.

Xiao Ye watched the young man go away, and at the same time, he felt the cool air that lingered around him also dissipate. So......

Maybe that person is an ice ability?

There are very few capable people in this world, and there are even fewer people who can control natural energy such as water and fire. Speaking of ice abilities, the most famous is one of the three nobles who live in Hoen, the "Ice God of the West".

Xiao Ye shook her head, expelled the messy thoughts out of her brain, and carried the heavy books to the study area.

Along the way, she was actually given sympathetic glances by many young people of the same age - does she really look so much like a scumbag who desperately reviewed before the exam to prevent failing the course?

In the "General Record of the Appearance of Divine Beasts", all the sightings of divine beasts since nearly a thousand years ago have been recorded in it, and they are still being revised and updated. All events are recorded in chronological order, making it easy to find information about large-scale disasters caused by mythical beasts.

What Xiao Ya has in her hands seems to be an old version, and the first event recorded in it is not the well-known appearance of King Feng in the Sommiana Plains in 989 in the Elven calendar. However, she wanted to investigate information from a much older date, and older versions didn't make a difference.

The sun rises slowly in the morning, bringing the heat of midsummer to the earth. However, the National Library of the Alliance, located underground, never knew what sunlight was, only fluorescent lamps worked day and night, blurring the concept of time.

Xiao Ye took a quick look at the contents of the first book, and temporarily recorded the noteworthy parts of it on a notepad. When she opened the second volume, something fell between the pages.

Bending down to pick up the bookmark that had fallen on the ground, Sayo couldn't help but frown when she saw the handwriting on it.

It's a very ordinary bookmark, with a vague pattern printed perfunctorily on a pure white background, and a badge in the shape of a bird flying in the fire is printed in the lower right corner. As you can see from the three letters "PES" below, it is the school emblem of the Pokémon Trainer Elite Academy [Pokemon_Trainer_Elite_School], which is the No. 1 Trainer Training Academy in the All-Pokémon League.

If this is a bookmark used by PES students, then the handwriting on it should be the reading thoughts written by the students who read the book. Sayo couldn't make out what the overly scribbled words meant, but they still felt familiar to Saya.

A few days ago in Zhenxin Town, Xiao Ye once received a letter from an unknown person. It's just that the handwriting in the letter is so unrestrained that Sayo can't read it at all, and even suspects that it's from another country.

At the time, Saya didn't pay attention to the letter, but just put it on the windowsill and never saw it again—maybe it was blown away by the storm that night. And now, the bookmark in her hand clearly reads "Freedom" in the same handwriting.

Sayo was vaguely aware that she might be missing something important. Putting aside the unreadable bookmarks for a moment, she carefully re-read the two pages with the bookmarks in them.

The book records a flood that occurred in the year 878 of the Elven calendar at Lake Rishichi in the Sinnoh region. At that time, people discovered precious mineral deposits near Lake Rishi, so they wanted to dig new river routes to bring water from Lake Richi to other places to facilitate the mining of mineral deposits. However, no sooner had the project begun than the lake suddenly swelled, engulfing many workers in a turbulent whirlpool. And the people who survived the danger unanimously said that they saw the legendary Yaknom appear in the middle of the lake and make huge waves. After that, the mining of the veins was urgently stopped, and to this day no one dares to move the idea of draining the water of the lake.

Attached to the overview is a photograph of the rising waters of Lake Richichi, perhaps because it is too old to be blurred in black and white, and it is impossible to tell whether there is a Yaknom in the middle of the turbulent whirlpool.

Before Xiao Ye could turn the pages to read the incident, she noticed that someone had stopped beside her.

Raising his head, Xiao Ye unexpectedly found that the person who came was the young man who was suspected of being an ice ability. He has a pair of cold glass-colored eyes, which are intently reflecting the bookmark that Xiao Ye has placed in his hand.

The young man was delicately and meticulously dressed, his long ice-colored hair was carefully combed, and the unruly handwriting on the bookmarks was almost out of place with him. But he still seemed to have been immobilized, just inadvertently seeing those unrestrained horizontal and vertical skimming, and the memories swept over the past from the bottom of his heart.

It wasn't until one hand picked up the bookmark and handed it to him that the young man shifted his focus and looked at the purple-haired girl sitting at the table.

"Thank you. As he was in the quiet of the library, he lowered his voice of thanks and took the bookmark and began to read it carefully.

Sayo could see that this person obviously didn't pick up and read the bookmark because of the scribbled handwriting, but rather looked like he could easily read the content. Although he was a little unclear, Xiao Ye still turned the second volume of the Divine Beast Present World Record in his hand in a different direction to make it easier for him to check.

Seeing that the ice-colored long-haired young man had already turned his gaze back and forth a few times from the bookmark to the Divine Beast's Manifest Catalog, Xiao Ye asked softly, "Can you read the contents of that bookmark?"

The youth nodded. As if to see that Sayo was eager to explore the contents of the bookmark, he lowered his voice and read out the sentences on the bookmark word by word.

"Although the people of the time failed to reasonably measure the fighting power of Yaknom and recklessly provoked it to cause disaster, even if they were sure to outperform Aknom in force, humans should still maintain a sense of reverence for the divine beasts and should not use violence to distort their will. The young man's voice was very good, with a slight sense of ice fountain civilization, "And as Professor Blackwater said, force is only a small part of the power of the Three Holy Mushrooms. One only needs to look back at the disaster on Red Lotus Island 500 years ago to understand that it is not possible to defeat them by force. ”

Xiao Ye couldn't help but be stunned, and after a few seconds of silence, he woke up like a dream and thanked the young man.

The "disaster on Red Lotus Island five hundred years ago", which had been looking for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him, and even Xiao Ye was a little dazed. Force is only a small part of the power of the Three Holy Mushrooms. One only has to look back at the disaster on Red Lotus Island 500 years ago to understand that it is not possible to defeat them by force and do whatever they want - this not only means that the Rebellion of the Eclipse of the Sun did exist and was indeed deliberately erased from the history books, but also that the Three Sacred Mushrooms of the distant Sinnoh region are related to the Rebellion of the Eclipse of the Sun?

The young man glanced at Saya's notepad. Above the dense time, place and events, the two keywords "Eclipse Sun Rebellion" and "Red Lotus Island" are circled.

"That's history hidden by the Union. ”

Xiao Ye raised her head in some surprise and met the young man's calm gaze. His tone was unwavering, as if he was just casually mentioning tomorrow's weather, "You'd better not be unnecessarily curious." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Xiao Ye a chance to ask anything more, and put the bookmark in his hand back between the pages, "Can I borrow this book?"

"Of course. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

The young man nodded, carefully closed the heavy book, and walked away with the cold breath around him.

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

Small Theatre:

Xiao Ye shook her head, expelled the messy thoughts out of her brain, and carried the heavy books to the study area.

Along the way, she was actually given sympathetic glances by many young people of the same age - does she really look so much like a scumbag who desperately reviewed before the exam to prevent failing the course?

System Prompt: The player's average score in the six exams in Zhenxin Town is 5.8 points higher than the passing line, which shows that the player is indeed a scumbag who desperately reviews before the exam to prevent failure.

Night: ...... Do you have to say it?
