Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Contest on Ponkan Island

It's still early, so Genma and Tatsu decide to wander around Ponkanjima. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ponkan Island is not a large island in size, and its geographical location is not important, but it is extremely prosperous. The reason for this is that Ponkan Island is rich in mineral deposits.

With the exception of a thin layer of soil, which is covered by a thin layer of soil, Ponkan Island is almost entirely made up of glass ore. And the most wonderful thing is that Ponkan Island is on an active volcano, and a large amount of glass is formed in the hot volcanic lava every year, through the passage that the islanders have already designed, it continues to flow out and condense into new high-purity glass, constantly replenishing the consumption of the mined glass ore.

There are almost no agricultural products produced on Ponkan Island, and all the necessities of life need to be imported, and this trade is sustained by the continuous production of glass from here.

It is not very profitable to sell the raw glass ore, and the islanders have long recognized this, so they have been refining glass for a long time and have passed on the craft. Today, the crystal crafts of Ponkan Island account for more than half of the glass crafts of the entire alliance.

No matter for the girls in that world, the crystal clear glass products have a fatal attraction to them. Multi-track has long been bought, bought.

"Speaking of multi-track, you can buy these things elsewhere, right, there's no need to buy so many here, right?" Seeing that the space backpack was about to fill up again, and he might become a porter again, Genma couldn't help but ask.

"How can you buy all kinds of crafts in any other place?"

"What a powerful reason. ”

Duo Rail also knew that Genma was not very interested in shopping, so he changed the subject: "When I was shopping just now, there was a statue of a big rock snake in those stores, I asked the boss, and the boss told me that there is a legend on this island, saying that there is a big rock snake made of crystal on the island, and it is said that the earliest inspiration for these glassmakers about glass products came from the crystal big rock snake." Are you interested in this topic?"

"It's okay. ”

"Hey, it's unexpectedly cold!" Multitrack looked at her companion strangely, with her understanding of her companion, shouldn't her eyes light up when she encountered this rare Pokémon, and she wanted to study it immediately?

"Isn't it the crystal rock snake, what's so strange. Genma said. The large rock snake's diet is mainly dirt and rocks, and it is not surprising that there are large amounts of crystal mines on this island rich in glass mines, and if the large rock snake feeds on crystal mines, it is not surprising that it will accumulate for a long time to become a crystal large rock snake. Moreover, the animation of the previous life has clearly told itself that there is indeed a crystal rock snake here.

"Don't you want to be subdued?" said Multitrack strangely.

Genma shook his head: "I'm not interested." "Although the Crystal Great Rock Snake is a flash elf, the only advantage it has over ordinary Great Rock Snake is that it is not afraid of water, and it can catch the opponent off guard. But its resistance to fire is also much lower than that of ordinary large rock snakes, and it is difficult to say which is better than fire and which is inferior to water. After all, there are many water elves in terms of number and type, but most of the water elves have low special attacks, while fire elves generally have high special attacks, while most of the water and fire skills are special attacks.

The most important thing is that although the big rock snake looks huge, it is actually strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and the race value is not strong, and only when it evolves into a big steel snake can it take on the main force of the team. Whether the Crystal Rock Serpent can evolve is still a debatable question. However, people have not yet discovered how the Great Steel Snake evolved, so the Crystal Great Rock Snake that can overcome the characteristics of weak water is still attractive. However, he doesn't plan to be an elf hunter, so there's no need to subdue the kind of elves that are not worth cultivating at all!

"Then forget it," Duo Track saw that Genma was not interested, although he didn't know why, but he didn't ask again.

However, Genma was reluctant to stop, for fear that the multi-track attention would return to shopping: "But this small island is mainly engaged in processing glass products, so there are many fire spirits on the island!" Fire spirits are extremely rare in the orange islands, which are mainly seas, but almost every one on this island has them.

"yes, by the way, I think of one thing when I talk about that. Duo Lane said and took out a leaflet from his bag and handed it to Genma, "I almost forgot, when I just bought something, the boss gave me one, I think you should be interested." ”

Genma opened the flyer and saw that it read: Fire Elf Athletic Competition.

After reading the flyer quickly, Genma was really attracted, "Interesting." I want to participate. "It turns out that the flyer said that in order to better cultivate fire elves, a fire elf competition will be held on the island. And the rules of the competition also have a strong flavor of the orange alliance - advocating practicality. The stepping stone of the competition is not the common elf confrontation, but the control and power of fire-based skills. After that, it's the elf confrontation.

"I knew you'd be interested, but can you give me the reward if you win?"

"No problem. Genma nodded. The prize for this contest is a handmade artefact made by one of the island's most famous masters, and the specific style can be chosen. I'm not interested in this Genma.,It's nothing to give it to multi-track.。

"Thank you so much!" Hearing Genma's promise, Duo Track's face turned red with excitement, "Then let's go now." Multitrack couldn't wait to drag Genma to the competition point.

The venue is located in a square not far from the bazaar. Probably because of the preliminary round, the competition venue was not very popular. Genma quickly finished registering and was taken to the field by a referee.

"In the first round of testing the elves' control, the elves had to use the fire-based skill to jet flames through the wooden ring, lighting the torches, but not burning the wooden rings at the same time. ”

Genma looked at the bowl-sized ring and nodded, "Understood." "This test is not easy, the flame spewed by the fire spirit is very hot, and if it is not restrained, it will easily burn the ring, so it fails.

"Come out, fire dinosaurs. Genma summoned the fire dinosaur, explained to it, and let it come forward and play freely.

I saw that the fire dinosaur came to the nearest distance, and after a little look, it opened its mouth, and with a slight spit, a thin fire snake erupted from its mouth, passed through the middle of the ring, and landed accurately on the torch, lighting the torch.

"Passed. The referee, after checking and seeing that the ring had not changed in the slightest, announced loudly.

"The second competition was to test the power of the flames, which required the glass to melt in a minute, for a minute. The referee pointed to a piece of glass the size of a baby's head.

"Is it okay, fire dinosaur?" asked Genma.

The fire dinosaur nodded, this little thing was too simple.

"Okay, then ready, 3, 2, 1, the timer begins!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, the fire dinosaur immediately raised its head, and a ball of flame erupted from its mouth to surround the glass, which was the fire skill flame vortex. After spewing out the flame vortex, the fire dinosaur did not make any other movements, imitating Genma's hands crossed in front of his chest, looking like he was in his chest.

When the flames dissipated, there was only a puddle of melted liquid glass where the glass ore had been placed, and less than 20 seconds passed.

"It's passed," the referee announced, "please come with me, let's go to the final." ”

"Hey, didn't you just pass the screening? Why did you go straight to the finals? Could it be that only one player passed the test?" asked Genma strangely. These two tests should be the first one that is really difficult for the fire elves, and the second one is simple. After all, most elves are explosive and not controlling. But for the fire elves of the island's glassmakers, controlling the power of fire skills should be their forte, right?

"The two of you came with me first, and I explained the reason to them all the way. ”
