Chapter 19: The Phoenix King (Part II)
"Ikki, what kind of store is there, you must be too tired and confused. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yuto squatted on the ground and looked carefully, even rummaging under the stones, but he didn't see where the store Ikki was talking about.
"No...... No way, it was still here a few hours ago, I swear I didn't hallucinate, I didn't!"
There are no shops at all, not even traces of existence. Even if I asked about the shops on both sides, they all said, "No one has rented it at all, and it hasn't been for a long time." Such a one-size-fits-all answer. Leo Lu could also see that if the store manager that Ikki said really moved out during this time and gave other people hush money, it would be impossible for the weeds in this vacant land to grow so tall, so this assumption is self-defeating.
"There's really a shop here, and I didn't lie to you. Ikki desperately tried to tell Leo Lu Yuto the truth, and his immature little face flushed slightly, but he was greeted with a skeptical gaze.
"Okay, okay, I believe it. I think we'd better hurry to the next town, Ikki's friend has already left!"
I couldn't see any progress in the matter, and some of them were a little impatient, and hurriedly urged.
Leolu nodded in agreement. It is estimated that their group is the slowest progress among the trainers in the same period, and if they delay any longer, they don't know what year and month it will take to participate in the conference.
"You ...... Well, you guys don't believe it anyway. ”
Yihui drooped his head, like a deflated ball, and passively followed Youdou.
It's not that Leolu doesn't believe Ikki, and even Ikki's every word he says can be unconditionally believed, but the facts are in front of him, there is no evidence to prove that he is telling the truth, and all the conditions are contrary to his words.
There's got to be something wrong with that. ’
Leo Lu had to think so. The sudden appearance of the bottle at that time was enough to explain the problem, since Ikki said that the potion was original to the store manager, it is likely that the store manager did everything, and the 'suddenly disappeared shop' in Ikki's mouth confirms this view. But now, even if they have a goal, they can't find someone who doesn't know where to go for a long time, so they have to give up and leave it to Miss Junsha to deal with the case.
The journey is always long, after all, humans are not elves, and it is located in a mountainous area with many forests, so it is even more difficult to reach the destination.
"Ah, fresh air!"
Yuto released the Jenny turtle and took a deep breath in the dense woods.
Leo Lu climbed a tall tree and stood on the branch of the tree and looked into the distance. In a short time, the direction of progress was determined.
"Oulu!"
Leo Lu jumped off the canopy and tugged at the corner of his coat, which was still listless. Kazuki sighed and glanced at Leolu.
"I really didn't lie to you......"
Leolu stared at him, seeing his lonely face, and felt that he really didn't trust him a little too much?
"Hey, hey, hey, what's that!"
Yuto suddenly screamed, causing Leo Lu and Kazuki to cover their ears at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Look! the one flying in the sky!"
Originally, he was a person who liked to make a fuss, and most of the time he usually called it was because of some trivial or trivial things, as long as he ignored him, he would stop himself, but now Yooto's unusual behavior finally gained the attention of the two, and they looked up at the sky.
In the cloudless sky, a fiery red elf flew gracefully, and a colorful streamer was sprinkled behind it, and gradually, gradually, disappeared from sight.
[Unrecognizable, there are many elves in the world that have not been discovered by humans.] 】
Leolu's illustrated book suddenly read such a sentence.
Ikki heard the sound and turned his attention to Leolu, only to find that he was a little strange, he was motionless, and his other hand was faintly emitting a golden shimmer.
"Leo Road?!"
"European ......"
Leolu's cloudy pupils instantly regained their luster.
"Are you alright?"
Leolu nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and raised his claws sharply, and the golden luster finally disappeared, and now all he had in his hand was a stone, ordinary stones.
――――――――――――――――――――
From the moment Leolu saw the Phoenix King, his consciousness was forcibly taken into another world.
It was a pure white world, absolute white, white without a trace of pollution, suffocating white.
"Humans, why are you here? ”
A female voice echoed in the pale world, and the voice didn't sound very old, but it gave people a sense of divine solemnity.
"You...... Who are you, why do you know ......?"
"You know what? You're human, you can't fool me!"
The graceful figure of the Phoenix King appeared out of thin air in front of Leo Road. Leo Lu felt breathless just by looking at her, and his limbs gradually began to weaken.
Could it be that this is the coercion of the legendary Phoenix King?
"Human, although I don't know why you are like an elf, but your soul is still human, hehe, it's ridiculous. ”
A mocking smile appeared imperceptibly on King Feng's face, but it was fleeting.
"It's not like I want that!"
In this space, Leo Lu was surprised to find that he was able to speak, but what mattered was not this matter, but the purpose of the Phoenix King.
"You're the Phoenix King, since you're a legendary beast, you must have a way to help me, right?"
King Feng seemed to think it was a little funny, and opened his mouth to say: "Is there a way and what does it have to do with you, and you actually know me, presumably not an ordinary person." ”
Leo Lu was under tremendous pressure, and it was not easy to support him all the time, but King Feng didn't seem to realize this, and still looked at him with interest.
"Over the years, you're the first guy I find incredible, it's funny, it's so funny!" King Feng suddenly laughed, "Forget it, I'll help you." ”
Seeing that King Feng actually said that he wanted to help himself, Leolu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Human, give you this. ”
A bright light emanated from in front of King Feng, and the light was so strong that Leo Lu had to cover his eyes with his hands. The ball of light slowly flew towards Leo Road, and the light slowly faded. Leolu grabbed the ball of light and held it in his paw, before rubbing his eyes that were almost blinded.
"What is this?"
"It's just something I found by accident, and it feels a bit of a hassle, so I'll give it to you. This thing will give you a temporary boost to your strength, but don't expect too much, after all, it's just a boring thing. ”
Leolu waited for the light to fade slightly, before he dared to look through the gap in his claws to see what was called boring in the mouth of the Feng King.
"So, what about the side effects?"
This time it was the turn of King Feng who was surprised: "That's right, I didn't expect you to think of this step, my interest in you is really getting stronger and stronger!"
King Feng stretched his head over, and the crested head was full of interesting smiles.
"The side effect is that it turns the sprite that uses it into a glitter variety, and it's just asking for trouble, isn't it?"
"Asking for trouble?" Leolu's mouth twitched, "It's completely useful to be able to improve your abilities and pay this price." ’
You know, if you want to improve your strength in this world, you must work hard, and you don't have to do anything to improve your strength, human beings have been looking for countless years and haven't found it, in the eyes of King Feng, it's really useless garbage, I really don't know how many treasures this guy has.
"How do you use it?" Leolu fumbled carefully for the 'garbage' in his hand, not having a clue.
"I don't know, that's why it's useless,"
Leolu almost fell to the ground with a head.
"Alright, human, you can go. ”
With a wave of the Phoenix King's wings, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the void world, and the space was chaotic and his vision blurred.
"Should I say that it is worthy of being a divine beast, even thinking is so ......"
Only then did Leo realize that Leo Lu noticed that Kazuki was shaking himself. In response to his concern, Leolu showed Ikki what he was holding.
"What is this? Isn't it just an ordinary stone?"
Leolu doesn't know why, but since it was given by King Feng, it means that it is still a little useful. I don't know how it knows the efficacy of this thing, doesn't it say that it doesn't know how to use it?
Shrugging his shoulders, Leo Lu threw the stone into his backpack, ignoring Yu Dou, who was still daydreaming about the beauty of the Phoenix King, Leo Lu pulled Kazuki and continued towards Nibi City.
