[Sayo: Have you ever heard of ice that won't melt by fire?]

The group chat interface called "The Four Elders of Dawn" is always filled with all kinds of whimsical ideas from the golden retriever siblings. Xiao Ye's speech blended in without any sense of disobedience, and almost blended with gossip such as "the nameless valley that has been burning for thirty days" and "swarms of pink frog seeds", successfully adding an unreliable atmosphere to the group.

Ten o'clock in the evening is the time for young people to end their day and lie comfortably in bed and play with their mobile phones. As soon as Xiao Ye's words came out, both chat enthusiasts were blown up - it was really that Xiao Ye rarely participated in such whimsical topics, except for daily small talk, he only occasionally shared a few photos of the trip, and the degree of uninterest was second only to Captain Xiao Tian who threw tactical analysis links into the group every day.

[Xiaoling: Wow Xiaoye! Have you finally sensed the charm of the unknown and want to be our comrade-in-arms!.jpg]

[Xiaojie: Good question, friend! It's not that I'm boasting, I'm a professional in this area!]

[Xiaojie: [web link][web link][web link]]

[Xiao Jie: Do you want the ice island in the middle of the magma lake of the Red Lotus Volcano, or the ice cap floating in the tropical ocean, or the glacier that never melts in the Gaiana rainforest.jpg?

[Night: ......]

[Nighto: [Pichu sluggish .jpg]]

Xiao Ye, who was holding the mobile phone, slowly turned his head indescribably, and looked at Aaron next to him - the young man was expecting Xiao Ye's friend to give some useful information, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly showed the expression of the old man in the subway looking at his mobile phone.

Aaron: (hesitates) "Well, I don't know much about what he said, but I don't think that'......"

Saya: (slurring) "empathize......"

Along the way, the two have talked a lot about this topic, but they haven't been able to find a clue.

The common item in Pokémon battles, "No Ice Melt", is the first conjecture that pops up. However, non-melting ice can only isolate the heat to a certain extent, increasing the power of ice-based moves, and throwing it directly into the flames will still turn into a puddle of water. In contrast, the ice that the Misty Lips Baby made when she went berserk - or the ice that froze the stinger jellyfish - itself was extremely cold, and the signs of melting after contact with the flames were also invisible, which was really beyond the understanding of the two ten-year-old newcomers.

"It always felt like Miss Joy knew something. "It's a pity they won't tell us," a group of police officers surrounded Joey, sometimes muttering and sometimes exchanging glances, as if they were exchanging mysterious secrets, and the curious Aron was haunted by this, "It's a pity they won't tell us...... Hey, there's a new reply. ”

Xiao Ye followed Aaron's line of sight to look at the phone screen, and sure enough, he saw the most reliable person in the group appear at the bottom of the window with a familiar image of a small fire dragon head.

[Xiaotian: I think of two possibilities. One of them is "Absolute Zero", a move that may create ice that is difficult for flames to melt if used by powerful Pokémon. It has been reported in the news that the ice ridges left behind by the Frozen Bird battle did not completely disappear until a week later. [Web Link]]

[Xiaotian: Another possibility is the ability of the Bingmi family. They are able to create extremely cold ice when they are in high spirits, similar to the absolute zero effect. At present, the strongest ability of the Himi family, Admiral Auston of Hoen, once froze the criminal's Pokémon in place for a day and a night. 】

After reading some lengthy paragraphs, Saya and Aron Qiqi looked thoughtful.

"I seem to understand a little bit. Aaron rolled his eyes, "Although the Misty Lips Baby can't be absolute zero, as long as the other ice moves are strong enough, maybe they can achieve the same effect?"

As for why the Misty Lip Baby would perform such a powerful move when she went berserk - it is common for Pokémon to be far more destructive than usual after going berserk, and Aaron had even read the news that the angry little fire dragon had single-handedly caused a wildfire, so he didn't think deeply about whether the Lost Lip Baby's "stronger" magnitude was reasonable.

"Perhaps. Xiao Ye nodded thoughtfully and typed in a reply.

[Sayo: I see, I've learned. Thank you!]

[Xiaojie: Hey, captain...... Although the amount of encyclopedia-like knowledge is very powerful, your reply is really good and there is no dream. [Dumbledore shakes his head.jpg]

[Xiaojie: But Xiaoye, why did you remember to ask this?]

[Xiaoling: Hahaha, it shouldn't be that after beating the Flame Bird, I encountered some high-level ice boss, right?

[Xiaojie: Poof, how can there be such a coincidence. 】

【Night: ............】

Bathed in Aaron's reverent gaze of "Are all your friends prophets", Xiao Ye's face was blank and slowly typed an emoji.

【Saya:Σ(゚д゚lll)】

The group chat window was silent for more than ten seconds.

【Xiaotian:?】

[Xiaoling: ...... Isn't it?]

[Xiao Ye: It's not a big deal...... If you are interested, you can check out the video in the link?

After throwing the link to the news report in one go, Xiao Ye calmed down as if he had completed a task.

Since he took the initiative to report and did not deliberately conceal the report, the vague little fight in the video is of course nothing - it doesn't need to be compared with the experience of the artificial phoenix king plan, and the "beating of the ice spider" is not even as intense as the fight between her and Mr. Xinghai during the special training.

Safely putting her phone back in her pocket, she held the sleepy little Pichu and returned to the Trainer's Square with Aaron.

The night was dark, and most of the crowd that had gathered in the square had dispersed, leaving only a few worried children who still refused to leave. It wasn't until they saw the safe return of the two "arrested" people that the last group of onlookers dispersed with confidence.

At this moment, the Trainer's Square is in shambles, with the floor tiles scattered everywhere with dirt and wood chips and rubble, and at first glance it looks like a construction site. Two cops were taking pictures of the damaged object — perhaps working late into the night, given the scope of the fighting.

The young pharmacy owner was sorting out the toppled flower pots in front of the door, and raised his hand to say hello.

"How?" he asked briefly.

Aaron used to patronize the body of the mist-lipped baby, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the surroundings, but now he looked around at the demolition site made by his own Pokémon himself, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and he stumbled and said, "I think...... My status as a trainer is in jeopardy......"

The teenager gave Shimura a general account of his experience at the police station, which was still under investigation into the cause and process of the incident, and did not immediately announce the punishment result. With his previous experience in getting into trouble, Aaron understands that fines are almost certain, and he is mentally prepared to be detained for education, and his only hope is to keep his trainer's license from being revoked.

As they talked, Saya glanced at the front of the medicine house.

The ice dust left over from the fight has been cleaned up. The gray-blue rock Pokémon returned to its original position, still stubbornly facing south, motionless. At one point, Nighta had the illusion of meeting its gaze - but if you look closely, your eyes are still hanging down towards the north nose, and you don't react to the sound and light of the outside world.

"There's something I have to warn you about. A few minutes later, Shimura interrupted Aaron's rambling "entry into the game": "Your mother has already called me three times. ”

“！？”

The boy froze immediately. Staying up all night, sleeping in a haystack on the hill, missing all contact due to a dead phone, and a series of foreign images stacked on top of each other, Aaron was deeply aware that the moment he opened the door could be his own death.

In order to prevent himself from dying more thoroughly, Aaron hurriedly said goodbye to the two and ran home with his feet drawn. Xiao Ye silently sighed that his running speed was more amazing than the electric flash of the forest lizard, and looked up at the person next to him, "Mr. Shimura, then I won't bother you......"

"Wait a minute. Shimura said loudly.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered an important matter with the eternal serious face of the owner of the medicine house.

The touch of the scythe shattering in his hand was still clearly recognizable, and the weakness and embarrassment suddenly surged together. She hurriedly stood upright, and said with a straight attitude: "I'm sorry, I'll compensate!"

"What?" Shimura was about to push open the door to let Sayo in, when he heard this, his head was full of question marks.

"Please tell me the price of that scythe. Or do you tell me the brand, and I'll buy a new one and give it back to you?"

Shimura: "......"

The young man's expression gradually changed from blank to indescribable, recalling the "unbelievable etiquette of the Guandu people" that the young people of the Orange Islands often complained about on the Internet, and sincerely wanted to open his mobile phone now to leave a "yes" comment - at least he is a rare "outlier" among the southerners who is not bold enough, and he can't imagine how terrible the social norm is to pay the sickle compensation after the righteous and courageous deeds.

Xiao Ye observed the change in the expression of the owner of the medicine house, and his expression gradually became worried, "Is it expensive......?"

“...... No, that's not what it means. ”

Shimura decided not to think about the huge gap between regional concepts for a while, and beckoned Xiao Ye to enter the house and threw a palm-sized object over, "Wow." ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly reached out to pick it up—it seemed to be a small jar of ointment.

"Frostbite medicine. The young man thought for a moment, and then added solemnly according to the thinking pattern of the Guandu people he had just learned, "It is you who are thanking you for protecting this medicine house." ”

Hearing this, the trainer from Guandu accepted the frostbite medicine obediently, and did not say Guan Yan Guan Guan such as "Please ask how much this can of medicine is, I will pay for it", which made the Nanguo shopkeeper secretly relieved.

Xiao Ye thanked him and looked at his right hand.

In order to destroy the ice without hurting the mistress baby, ripple resonance is undoubtedly the best choice. It's just that injecting the power of the waveguide into the object requires direct contact with it, and the fragile skin of human beings will inevitably be frostbitten by the cold ice edge. Her palms were already red and swollen, and the tingling sensation was dense and uncomfortable like a pinprick - fortunately, Xiao Ye's movements were always fast enough, and the short contact would not cause substantial damage, and even if left unattended, it would heal quickly.

"You came to this town to participate in the Battle of Wind and Snow?" Shimura asked casually, chattering.

"Yes. Xiao Ye nodded.

The start of the Battle of Blizzard is August 9, with two days to go.

Thoughts flashed and quickly turned into determination. The owner of the medicine house looked at the young trainer from Guandu in front of him, "If you are free tomorrow, can you come here?"

"I have a job I want to entrust to you. ”

When Xiaoye walked out of the medicine house, the crescent moon had risen into the air, quietly shining on the silent circular square.

Pichu had long been sleepy, and he had lost his head in the trainer's hood, and he didn't know if he was asleep. Xiao Ye didn't delay any longer, and after handing over the Pokémon who had worked hard for a day to Miss Joy to take care of, she returned to her room to get ready to rest.

Before falling asleep, she turned on her phone and glanced at the group chat - sure enough, the friends who watched the news did not release cruel words such as "this is very bad for our friendship", and they were all laughing and laughing at her for becoming a news professional, and the third-rate tabloid-like news headlines affected the style of the members of Dawn.

The blurry quality of the graphics hides the most creepy anomalies of the Ice Monster, and from a distance it looks like a long-legged ice sculpture with teeth and claws, even a little comical. Not to mention the battle scenes - the video doesn't capture the first half of Charizard's injury, and it looks like the trainer and her Pokémon are pressing the spider to the ground and beating it violently, and the visual effects are not dangerous at all.

It was probably because such simple news could not attract the attention of the golden retriever siblings for a long time, and the subject of small talk was quickly turned into a variety of strange stories. Xiao Ye roughly flipped through the chat history and saw that Xiao Tian had posted a link to an article before the topic changed, saying that it was a supplement to the previous conjecture.

She clicked on the link and looked at the title of the article for a moment.

[Exploring the "Glorious Age of the Blank": The Legend of Ice, Fire, and Thunder]

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

......

As we all know, our civilization's detailed record of history began in the first year of the Elven calendar. The ancient books and documents before this are incomplete, among which the hundred years near the first year of the elven calendar are the most mysterious, and they are written as "blank years" in history books.

But for scholars who study the Uber hieroglyphs, it has another name -

"Glorious Era".

No student of history can resist its charm. It's magnificent and dazzling, war-torn yet full of life. Some people think that this is a chaotic era of the Great War of a Hundred Kingdoms, a hell of conflict between gods and beasts, and some people think that this is a great united front between people, people and Pokémon, and countries to fight against foreign enemies. It has left us with a mystical legacy: mysterious words, starry ruins, magical feats, and legends.

In obscure legends written in Uber hieroglyphs, these words often appear together in the whimsical images and the legacy of the magic.

Ice that never melts, fire that never goes out, thunder that never ceases.

As we all know, the Glorious Age was an era when the worship of mythical beasts and nature worship was prevalent, and even the Ubo hieroglyphs were a religious writing system at that time, and it was also known as the "language of the gods" - as the name suggests, it means "the language used by the gods". The special social and contemporary background has given birth to countless ancient legends that are unimaginable to modern people, and in these fictional or documentary stories, everything in the natural world is a common element, but there are few natural elements that appear repeatedly in different stories in the same combination and the same descriptive language.

Regarding the countless obscure legends of the Glorious Age, Professor Kamizong's prior research said......

...... To sum up, we can draw a conclusion.

"Ice, fire and thunder", they are by no means a coincidence of the unanimous words of people in ancient times, nor are they simply metaphors for natural phenomena or mythical beasts in the present world. Numerous existing studies and analyses point to the same possibility –

They are closely related to human life, society and country at that time, and are an important part of the vast system of legends of the Glorious Age – or rather, the true history of the Glorious Age that was annihilated in the flames of war.

If we want to further explore the secrets of the blank era and open up the corner of that magnificent epic, perhaps we should lock in a new angle of entry.

For example, the Himi family, an ancient family that has lived on top of a towering snow-capped mountain since 1,000 years ago.

Small Theatre:

The young man's expression gradually changed from blank to indescribable, recalling the "unbelievable etiquette of the Guandu people" that the young people of the Orange Islands often complained about on the Internet, and sincerely wanted to open his mobile phone now to leave a "yes" comment - at least he is a rare "outlier" among the southerners who is not bold enough, and he can't imagine how terrible the social norm is to pay the sickle compensation after the righteous and courageous deeds.
