Chapter 38: The Stone Statue of Change (3500 Words Restored and Updated)
For the Didia Luke and Palukia mentioned by Grandma, Yelan still knows something about the family's deep learning.
Diaruga and Palukia created the Sinnoh region in myths and legends, with Diaruga holding the power of time and Palukia holding the power of space. At this time, Yelan saw the written description of them from the ancient book, but he didn't know which one the statue in front of him represented.
While thinking about Yelan and Sirona, they glanced at each other, and took over the mushroom head under the trotting hill, each holding one hand on the left and right sides of the mustard orchid. The Keja sisters and brothers were pulled back by the mushroom head, as if they were saying something, and then they saw the two sisters and brothers with gloomy faces and bowed their heads and said nothing.
After all, the mustard orchid is old, and it is inconvenient to climb this kind of uphill, and a group of six people talked and laughed before coming to the statue after a while.
Seeing that the two grandsons (females) were so sensible, Mustard Orchid smiled very proudly, then broke free from the support of the two, reached out and touched the statue, and explained:
"That's right, after the establishment of the Sinnoh Alliance, it was planned to find and protect ancient buildings related to mythology. Your grandfather and I were in charge of finding such an ancient structure and attaching a description to it, and this statue was one of them. We suspect that it depicts the legendary elf Palukia, and the text is attached to the metal plate. β
Speaking of this, Yelan could clearly see Grandma Mustard Orchid showing a rare look of confusion, and before Yelan could think about it, he heard Sirona ask:
"Grandma, didn't you notice that the metal plate with the description was missing?"
"Cortana, do you mean that?"
As she spoke, Mustard Orchid took out a yellow metal plate from the cross-body lady-style space bag, and saw that it was carved with the words "The birth of Palukia, creating countless spaces." Whether we live in the world or turn to dust, we are all in the same space, all because of the creation of Palukia", Jelam notes that although the metal plates have been dulled by time, the words are carved in the lingua franca.
What is Lingua Franca? I still have to mention the alliance, this world has been in a warlord division for a long time before the establishment of the alliance, and there are different types of elves between different regions, races, regimes, and of course the language is not the same.
It was not until later that the alliance ended the troubled times and completed the great cause of unification, in order to strengthen the rule, it began to unify laws, weights and measures, currency, and language.
Although there was considerable resistance to implementation, the coalition spared no effort to implement this policy, considering that it was necessary not only for the smooth implementation of government decrees, but also for the elimination of the sense of disparity between regions.
Then came into being - that is, the PokΓ©mon Alliance Method, Miri Kilogram, Alliance Coins, and the common language.
The lingua franca, which is based on a dialect of the Kanto region, is widely used in the Quartz Plateau and nearby areas. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find this kind of writing in the ancient buildings in the Sinnoh region, indicating that this stone slab is indeed not something left over from ancient times.
"I took this board away, because I found out not long ago that this statue is going to change!" Mustard Orchid is still so outspoken, and she doesn't care about the two outsiders around her.
"What?!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard that except for the "Bucket Mushroom", a stone statue that would change, this... And this kind of operation? And Miss "Dou Kasa Mushroom" looks like she has known it for a long time.
Sirona looked at the stone statue thoughtfully, and soon her eyes widened with disbelief.
When Yelan saw her strange appearance, he looked up and took a closer look, describing a small elf in the shape of a centaur with four legs, two claws, and a pair of wings.
Nothing strange, huh?
When I was puzzled, I only listened to my grandmother mustard orchid continue to speak: "I have inspected this stone statue many times, and it has always coincided with the posture of Paluqia recorded in the legend.... It wasn't until this time that I realized that Parouqia's original waist down had been replaced by another elf..."
"Transform into another elf!?" Yelan was not calm, he didn't expect that the centaur spirit statue in front of him would actually change?!
Reason told her that it was ridiculous, that a moving stone statue could be used to make a joke, but when the stone statue could change on its own and change into another elf, I am afraid that no one would be able to laugh.
This is a stone statue, and those who don't know it think it's a monster.
"Dialuga!" Sirona took over the conversation in a solemn tone, even if she heard it at first glance, she couldn't believe it.
Sirona had seen in the book that the statue of Palucia was indeed replaced by the appearance of Dialuke from the neck down, in other words, from a simple statue of Palucia to an elven statue with the upper body of Palucia and the torso of Dialuka's limbs.
You say that the stone statue changes forget it, but it is Dialuga, an elf with the same extraordinary meaning, and the well-informed and high-ranking Sirona is stupid, but not stupid.
As an older sister, Sirona obviously thinks further than Yellan, and in her opinion, either someone is doing something to the stone statue or the stone statue is strange, and it must be related to these two legendary elves and even mythology.
At present, controlling this stone statue in the hands of the alliance is secondary, and the top priority is to keep it secret! This stone statue cannot be obtained by anyone who has a heart.
Thinking of this, Sirona couldn't help but turn her head to look at the mustard orchid and the vegetable seeds, only to see the indifferent expressions of the two,
"Not bad! Xiao Na, your mythology skills have not yet fallen, Xiao Ye, how much you are like your sister to learn! Grandma first nodded with satisfaction and then urged Yelan, looked at Yelan scratched her head embarrassedly, and then continued:
"In short, I have already investigated the history of this statue, and it is impossible to know when it was built by whom, but it is certain that it must have been built very long.
Coincidentally, when this statue began to change last night, the old body immediately reported the situation to the old man Yamanashi and the chairman of the Sinnoh Alliance, so leave these troublesome matters to them to worry about. β
The vegetable seed who has been an audience heard this, his face was a little unnatural, and he said in his heart, can I ignore this happening on my territory? Zhang Kou added:
"First of all, thank you very much Dr. Mustard Orchid for being the first to find out about this problem, and I also contacted Miss Junsha for the first time, although this was the center of many celebrations, but with the relocation of the city center and the development of the city, people usually do not come here at all. However, just in case, Miss Junsha blocked the road in the name of road construction on the way to the city. I also asked two trusted apprentices to stay here to guard the statue. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw four more people coming up from the hillside, and the two people in the lead first saluted everyone before saying, "I've seen Dr. Mustard Seed, Miss Caizhong, and Miss Sirona!" We are Akiko (Takuo), a police officer from the Alliance Police Department in Momoyo City, and we are on the orders of Miss Junsha to cooperate with Momoyo Dokan to protect this stone statue. β
"Boss, let's... Finish?! β
The two people who came up from behind first nodded at the vegetable seeds, and then looked at Yelan in surprise... Next to it, where Shirona is now standing.
"Well, please!"
The first to answer was not the vegetable seed, but Sirona.
Under the fiery gaze of the four, Sirona, who was the new champion, could not be left alone, so she had to step forward and smile and encourage.
Cai Chong also smiled and nodded to the four of them.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's go! Well? The two children over there, do you have anything to do?
Let's go along, let's talk as we go. β
Mustard Orchid said with a big wave of her hand, and then looked at Yahe, who had been a good baby since the beginning, and Kedian, who wanted to interject countless times in the middle but was ruthlessly suppressed.
Ya is not stupid, she is much older than her younger brother from the league class, and she knows what she can and can't manage, and this matter is that even if she is their father, I am afraid that she will not have the right to interfere, and she is pretending to be a good baby, and she was suddenly asked by Mustard Orchid.
Not to mention, just looking at her face is really a bit vicious, she was scared to her heart, and when she was about to say that it was okay, she remembered her missing father, and she was ready to speak.
However, before the two could speak, Yelan had already taken the lead in opening his mouth to explain the general situation from beginning to end.
Ya glanced at Yelan gratefully, and then waited anxiously for Mustard Orchid's answer, she and Kedian really didn't know much about this high-ranking doctor who met for the first time.
"Huh? Elf ranger.... Vegetable seeds, do you know about this? "I didn't know about it.
"Yes, the father of these two children and I have a great relationship, and we both love exploring the Baidai Forest!
This time something happened to him, I searched for three days in the Baidai Forest, but it's a pity.... Still haven't found it. β
Cai Chong gave an affirmative answer, but at the same time a little frustrated, she didn't expect that even if she went out by herself, not only did she not find it, but she was also delayed for three days.
Three days! This is the best time to rescue, and if you miss this time, you can basically declare the game over. If this matter is investigated, she will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.
"Can you be sure that ranger is missing in the Baidai Forest?"
"Miss Junsha has searched all over the city, and according to the two children, Tetsuo (the ranger's name) ended up going to the Baidai Forest before he disappeared."
Mustard Orchid sighed in her heart, the disappearance of a forest ranger is not a trivial matter, and it is even more troublesome if it is still outdoors.
Because forest rangers are not ordinary people, they rely on the nature of the jungle to eat, and they have a deep understanding of nature, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are experts in the wild.
However, such a senior elf ranger disappeared in the Baidai Forest, which had been exploited by humans for a long time.
If it is Dianyuan Mountain, the high mountains and deep waters like Baiyin Mountain are still said in the past, many natural disasters there are beyond the resistance of manpower. The Baidai Forest has a gentle terrain and a stable climate, and the elves are mostly cordyceps flying, and even the elf hunters can't be found in the Baidai Forest from the bad street, which is not a problem for the rangers at all.
Don't forget, rangers also have the strength of the most elite trainers.
I was slightly shocked, but I opened my mouth and asked:
"Girl, you just said that the city has been found, but what about the forest? Have you looked for them all? β
"No, according to the two children, Tetsuo went to the undeveloped area when he disappeared, because the undeveloped area is still very dangerous, and I can only find it alone, so there are still a few areas left to be found......
"Undeveloped? It's dangerous?! β
But it was Sirona who frowned and said, her tone a little excited, as if these two words had stimulated her nerves.
"It's okay, there is a lot of strength in people, my sister and I will help Miss Caizhong find it together, you will definitely find it soon, don't worry!"
Seeing that even her sister was facing a great enemy, Yelan hurriedly eased the atmosphere in as relaxed and positive a tone as possible. The first half of the sentence is about the "bucket mushroom" vegetable seed, and the second half of the sentence is to comfort the depressed Jacques and brothers.
Cai Chong didn't know that he was nicknamed an unscrupulous person by Sirona, a younger brother who looked cute and didn't look like a boy, so he first glanced at Sirona strangely, and didn't understand what happened to this best friend who was with him in the Baidai Forest to take the rose bud? She knew that a place like the Baidai Forest was just a low-level map in the eyes of her best friend. He was looking at Yelan gratefully, wanting to thank him, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"No! I disagree!! As he spoke, a group of six people had already arrived in the city.
