Page 6 Old Antiques

The height is not short, at least about 1.8 meters. The body is stiff, the waist is straight, the back is broad, the shoulders are particularly straight, and it seems to have been specially trained for a long time, and the sitting posture is very thorough. The body is quite thin, but it is neither skinny and bone weakness nor malnourished weakness, but a strong restraint. The complexion is light, although it is difficult to hide aging, but it is very healthy.

Bald, potted on the top of the head has both age spots and scars. The long snow-white eyebrows that hung down to the chest were shiny and shiny, and they were slightly curled at the end due to frequent rubbing. A large handful of snow-white beards also hung down to his chest, which was also very well groomed. You can see the lips through the beard, they are thin, but the color is nice and red. The skin has begun to sagge and wrinkles, and the face is covered with age spots and scars.

He was dressed in an old-fashioned robe, but it had been washed white, and there were signs of wear and tear on the cuffs and neckline. There are no other wears or ornaments on the body. It looks very plain.

The face is not angry and self-threatening, the slightly cloudy eyes are blazing, as if there is some kind of huge power dormant, and the momentum of the whole person is very restrained and not exalted at all, but at a glance he will make people think of powerful and irresistible. And there is also a faint aura on his body that makes the capable unpleasant.

The above are Merlin's impressions and judgments on this old man who really met him for the first time.

Merlin looked at the old man and the old man looked at him, but the old man did not probe him as carefully as Merlin, but observed Merlin's reaction.

For some reason, Merlin suddenly couldn't receive the telepathy from his friends. Obviously, the link is still there, but it can't receive any signal at all.,It seems to have been intercepted by some force.。 Merlin's mind turned, and he sighed slightly.

"It's bothering you these days." He carefully sat down, his hands on the futon and bowed deeply to the old man until he nodded to the ground, and then said respectfully and humbly: "Thanks to your acceptance and care, the younger generation has recovered his health." Such kindness cannot be repaid by the younger generations. Because it has caused you unnecessary trouble, so what is the use of the juniors, but please command, the juniors should obey. ”

After all, he was born from the old aristocracy left over from the old era, and Merlin's basic etiquette was still there. Especially in such an uncertain and potentially dangerous place, Merlin is even more humble and a mess. You can say that he has no discipline and backbone, but the ancient family will tell you that keeping a low profile in the face of irresistible strength is the only way to keep the bloodline and status alive. Most of those arrogant descendants will not die well.

"Hmm." The old man seemed to be more satisfied with Merlin's etiquette and words, stroked his beard, and nodded slightly, "Full of, nonsense!" Then he said viciously, "Obviously full of reluctance, obviously scared, but pretending to be so humble!" He squinted his eyes and looked directly at Merlin, and the fiery gaze made Merlin shiver all over his body, "It's disgusting! It reminds me of the way those high-flying guys used to be......" The old man's knuckles burst out in a series of pops.

Listening to the old man's words, it didn't seem to be deceiving him, but he really hated the former superior, Merlin's cold hair immediately stood on end, and his heart suddenly felt gloomy.

"Still, it's a good attitude. It's disgusting, but it's also very useful. The old man suddenly changed his words again, and changed to a normal tone, "Just like you said, old man, I took you in and saved you, although the old man doesn't need your reward and doesn't expect anything from you in return, but since you have a heart, then I'm not welcome." It just so happens that I don't need a maid to help me cook, so it's better for you to come. You slept here for ten days, and you helped me cook for twenty days to pay it off. He turned to Merlin and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The younger generation should obey their fate." Merlin hurriedly agreed.

"Good, good." The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Let's roll into the kitchen first and get some food out of your hand, I want to taste your craftsmanship before deciding whether you are qualified to go into the kitchen to cook for the old man!" He waved his hand at Merlin, "Why don't you go yet!?" I can't wait! He scolded again.

Merlin hurriedly got up, but suddenly found that he was wearing a torn pajamas, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Can the junior change his clothes first?" He asked the old man tentatively.

"Whatever you want." The old man stood up suddenly, "Your demonic beasts know the path, just let them take you to the kitchen, and when it's done, send me to the practice ground." I'll be over there. As he spoke, the old man walked away.

Seeing the old man's figure disappear, Merlin gasped for relief.

[Change your clothes first, and then hurry up and cook!] Wizil's voice returned to Merlin's head, [I'll explain to you in detail later, we're really in big trouble this time!] 】

Listening to Wizil's serious and eager voice, Merlin, who knew that things were not good, hurriedly put on the civilian clothes that Nightingale had already taken out, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen with Wizil and Lingzi.

Along the way, Wizil and Reiko explained the situation of the past few days to Merlin, emphasizing and repeatedly mentioning the unfathomable strength and moodiness of the old man, as well as the dangers and horrors of the place.

"In short, don't try to play with your mind here, just be obedient." Finally, Merlin helped them make a small summary, "It seems that even if I went to the conference this year, it is still unknown whether I will be able to come out of here alive......" Merlin sighed at his fate as he walked into the old kitchen.

It was more of a stove than a kitchen, and the most advanced thing Merlin could find after looking around for a week was a whole wall of knives, not of the usual stainless steel, but of genuine steel. In this stove room that is completely behind the times, Merlin really found the feeling of watching a period drama. But after looking at the wood-burning stove and the large iron pot and steamer on it, Merlin felt deeply powerless.

"Go, bring my equipment......" Merlin said to Wizil with a sad face. The latter was very happy to teleport back to pick up the device.

However, although the equipment here is old and antique, it is very complete with various ingredients and seasonings. While Wizier went to fetch something, Merlin took a look around the stove, counted the abundant ingredients here, and soon drafted a few light and quick side dishes.

Lingzi didn't want to enter this greasy old house, just stayed outside the door and looked in, but the furnishings and arrangements inside made it show a look of nostalgia. That's probably what the kitchen looked like when it was younger.

Soon Wizier brought Merlin's complete set of modern cooking utensils, and Merlin, who had the equipment, did not dare to delay and immediately began to prepare side dishes. After a period of washing, chopping, blanching, frying, stir-frying, steaming, and soon four side dishes plus a clear soup are ready. Hurriedly put them out on the tray, and followed the guidance of Wizil and Lingzi to the practice ground agreed by the old man.

In this courtyard that is not small in depth, Merlin finally brought the tray to the practice ground while the dishes were still warm.

Just like the old stove room, this practice ground is also antique and should be eliminated.

The old man sat at one end of the practice ground, leisurely tasting tea and smelling the fragrance. In the training ground, however, two flying praying mantis were training hard, blindfolded by an opaque black cloth, standing back to back against each other in the middle of the field. On the periphery stood a dozen large armoured men with strong bodies, each with a thick pile of stakes piled high at their feet. From time to time, Dajia picked up these seemingly heavy wooden stakes and threw them at the flying mantis in the field, and the flying mantis quickly bounced up and brandished their scythes with the change of sound and air current, instantly cutting the wooden stakes into several pieces of equal size in mid-air, and then landed and returned to the original point.

Merlin and Wizel Lingzi walked cautiously towards the old man against the edge of the training ground. Merlin, who was holding a plate, didn't have the leisure to watch the training in the field, but Wizil and Reiko glanced at the two flying mantises, and then exchanged glances with each other.

Moved to the old man, respectfully placed the tray on the small wooden table in front of the old man, and arranged the dishes, chopsticks and spoons, Merlin whispered to the old man, "Please use it." ”

The old man, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, shrugged his nose to distinguish the taste of the side dishes, "The fragrance is not bad...... nodded and opened his eyes to glance at the four delicate side dishes and a small bowl of clear soup on the tray, "The color is okay......" picked up the chopsticks and picked up the side dishes and put them in his mouth to chew, "The taste is very good, and it takes special care of the old man's teeth, it is very soft and tender, and there is no extra old tendon......" tasted each side dish in turn, and finally scooped a spoonful of clear soup and took a sip, and said again: "Well, It seems that there is no problem with cooking for the old man, although the craftsmanship is not too good, but it is okay to make do with it. ”

Merlin didn't even dare to breathe, and obediently stood up to listen to the old man's reprimand.

"Do you still remember the two of them?" The old man suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the two flying mantis that were chopping wood in the field, and asked Merlin, "They are very impressed with you." ”

Merlin didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but turn his head to take a closer look at the two flying mantises. Looking at their gesture of chopping wood and wood, Merlin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he replied in a low voice, "The juniors naturally remember them. He raised his head to pay attention to the old man's reaction, "The younger generation is also impressed by them." ”

"Huh." The old man laughed, "Since they hatched until now, this is the first time that they have been so deflated by fighting you. They have fallen into the trap you have designed, and there is no room for resistance. If it weren't for the fact that your best abilities in this special environment couldn't wield their due power, these two little things wouldn't have been able to threaten and damage you at all. The old man squinted his eyes and glanced at Merlin, "As a capable person, you are indeed good to have such a table in my territory." The old man gave Merlin a special compliment.

"You've won a prize." Merlin hurriedly bowed.

"Humph!" Seeing Merlin's coping attitude, the old man was not very happy again, "That's why I am most annoyed by guys like you, who always wrap your true temperament in layers of falsehood. Isn't it tiring to do that? The longest life expectancy of a person is only a hundred or ten years old, and if you don't move casually in this short period of time, then what's the fun of living? The old man raised his long eyebrows and asked at Merlin.

"That's probably the price." Merlin replied, "In order to obtain something, you must give up others, especially things that threaten the continuation of life, such as unnecessary outpouring of feelings." ”

"Humph!" The old man snorted angrily again, "It's all nonsense. The old man glared at Merlin, "To put it simply, it's just that I can't help myself. ”

Merlin smiled and nodded.

"I don't have to be so restrained here, if I want to harm you, old man, I won't put so much effort and thought into it, wouldn't it be cleaner and more convenient to leave you to fend for yourself outside?" The old man raised the teacup again and took a sip, "Don't think about things all day long, so that your monsters will have a stinky temper with you." I have been kind enough to take you in, old man, and I have been suspiciously afraid of me and tempting me all day long......" He glanced meaningfully at Wizil and Reiko.

The two guys immediately lowered their eyebrows and made a deferential gesture.

"When people get old, they always want to be popular...... It's just that I didn't expect that I could live so well, and even the next generation was survived by me. The old man moved his gaze to the practice ground in full swing, although his eyes were on the body of the flying mantis that was chopping firewood, but he had already passed through their bodies and stared at the past that had passed, "I was the only one left who died the old man back then, and the juniors brought out also went before me one after another." Although I have them with me, they are not as close as people......"

Merlin naturally heard what the old man meant, and immediately said: "The younger generation should stay by your side for a while, and do your best to repay the grace of saving your life and repay the affection for taking in." ”

"Hmph." Hearing Merlin's reply, the old man still blew his beard to express his dissatisfaction, "Since you are a trainer, then I will test your basic skills first......" He beckoned to Merlin and motioned Merlin to come closer, "Look at the two flying mantis on the field, tell me about their situation, and tell me what you think of them." ”

Merlin moved a little closer to the old man, turned his head to look at a big show of chopping wood of the two flying mantises, muttered for a while, organized the wording, and said: "The hind limbs are strong and powerful, and the body is long and thin, so it can be seen that these two flying mantis are good at attacking. Looking at their attacks, it can be seen that their explosive power is excellent, their endurance is also good, and their instantaneous bonus ability is even better. The forelimbs are stout, the scythe is wide and sharp, the shot is crisp and sharp, the cutting ability is particularly amazing, and the control of force has reached a very high level...... The tricks used are all simple tricks that are less powerful, and it can be seen that both of them are 'technician' characteristics......" Merlin rambled on and on, mixed with too much praise and praise.

"Things that a blind man can see are still so verbose." The old man was not satisfied with Merlin's opinion, "Are you at this level?" ”

Merlin raised his eyebrows and said, "The flying mantis on the left has a crisp and neat attack, and there is no lag in attacking, it is light, smooth, fast and coherent, it should be determined to maintain this form all the time." And the flying mantis on the right side is also smooth, but there will obviously be a pause to accumulate strength, and the scythe is thicker and heavier than the left side, and the attack is especially good at heavy blows are more similar to slashing and chopping. There should be plans to evolve into a giant pincer mantis...... "Merlin is rambling again.

"That's not bad." The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Only with this kind of vision can it be regarded as barely qualified." Like you said, the little thing on the left has made up its mind not to evolve, while the little thing on the right has always wanted to evolve. Therefore, the one on the right must adapt to the heavier body and completely different forelimbs after evolution as early as possible, and exercise his body more to temper his attack path. But my 'metal coat' has long been used up, and if it wants to evolve, it will have to find its own props......" The old man also said a few words while drinking tea.

"Kid, don't stick around here, go get me dinner now. It doesn't need to be too greasy, just light, and I don't need too many side dishes, I'm used to drinking some porridge at night......" The old man said as he commanded his own request while rushing Merlin to work.

Merlin, who didn't dare to slack off, immediately slipped away with Vizier and Reoko again touching the edge of the training ground.

Watching Merlin and his entourage leave, the old man beckoned to the two flying mantis that had just finished splitting a few more wooden stakes, and watched them sweat profusely to fly to him with the blindfolded black cloth, the old man spoke: "The basic knowledge is quite qualified, and the ability to cultivate cannot be regarded as a failure, if you want me to say that although it is not excellent, at least it is a good guy." How you choose is your business, whether you want to follow that little ghost or not, or you have to decide for yourself......"

The two flying mantis glanced at each other and chirped a few more times at the old man.

"If you want me to say, don't be in such a hurry, it's not too late to investigate him for a few more days......" The old man patiently talked to the two flying praying mantises, and his expression was like a grandfather teaching his grandchildren.

Answer to the question in the previous issue: Well, so far, there are a total of eight Pokémon that can evolve after communication exchange, namely Yongjira (evolved into Hudi), Haoli (evolved into Monster Power), Rumble Stone (evolved into Rumble Rock), Ghost Stone (evolved into Geng Ghost), Mantle Rock (evolved into Pang Rock Monster), Iron Bone Turen (evolved into Repair Old Man), Gaigai Worm (evolved into Knightly Snail), and Smallmouth Snail (evolved into Agile Worm). Among them, the gaycap and the small-mouthed cochlea need to communicate and exchange with each other in order to evolve, which is a special case~~

And I don't know if you don't have it now.,The evolution of communication exchange actually only appeared in the first and fifth generations.,The other generations are carrying props to communicate and exchange to evolve~~

Electronic space will cause Pokémon to produce unpredictable mutations~~ So if there is no electronic space, wouldn't those Pokémon be unable to evolve?? Well, it's really worth digging deep into this aspect all of a sudden~~

Question in this issue, may I ask: After the flying mantis evolved into a giant pincer mantis, the sum of a certain value is unchanged, but the distribution has been changed~~ So may I ask, what value does not change?? Isn't it simple?

Tips: The new domain name "biquge.info" has been launched by Biquge, and the original domain name is about to be discontinued. Please tell each other, thank you!
