Whew~~~~ It's been seven days, I've been sleeping hard lately, I'm so sleepy when I go to work, I must make up for it while I'm resting~~ and then I'll work hard to add more on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival~~

In the end, when the agreed deadline for the survey arrived, it turned out that the thirty-four book lovers who participated in the survey had made a tie, and the fifteen who wanted to see it and the fifteen who were casual were also the fifteen...... In view of this situation, it is better to decide on an appropriate extension of the period~~

In this way, the deadline for this survey was extended to the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, the 12th. Then the final result will be counted.,If it's still a tie.,Then you can only cancel the Aster chapter according to the principle of casually entering and not wanting to~~~~.

So, come on, everyone~~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Prepare three meals a day and some refreshments for the old man every day, peek at the classical Spartan special training carried out by various insect departments in the training ground in his spare time, and conduct special training with his partners in the small room and courtyard where he temporarily lives when he has time. Before I knew it, three days had passed since I came here.

Although there was no electricity, running water, internet, or even telephone in this sprawling compound, the only thing that stood out was an old hand-cranked telephone, the kind that relied on telephone lines, which Merlin had only seen in pictures of history books and museums. But the ancient way of life was enough to survive, with candles lit by moonlight, and water was diverted using topography and some simple mechanical structures...... It's troublesome, but it's also flavorful.

After accepting his idea of serving the old man as a makeshift chef in return for his kindness, Merlin didn't feel anything wrong or humiliated. On the contrary, because he was often able to watch the training scene in the training field, Merlin gained a lot of training methods and concepts that were old but new to Merlin.

Merlin was hungry for the act of stealing the teacher, and gradually became very curious about the true identity of the old man. Such an old, long-lived, and powerful old man will definitely not be an unknown person, whether it is his own strength or the strength of the wild insect Pokémon pointed out in his spare time, it is a testament to the strength and unpredictability of the old man.

Merlin really wanted to break his head, and he couldn't remember that there was such a number one person in the Guandu Alliance.

And because there is no network signal here, Merlin can't even look up information on the Internet, and he can't even find Interne. Looking at the signal grid of the wireless network, which is always blank, Merlin really wants to cry without tears.

With curiosity and the impetus to take risks, Merlin began to search for something in the courtyard that could prove the identity of the old man, but the places he often came into contact with—his room, the practice ground, the stove, the dining room—were very simple, and there were not many objects that could support the old man's identity. It was only the discovery of some dating objects that allowed Merlin to roughly determine the age of the old man, at least eighty years old. That's a horrible longevity.

Although some scientists have said that the theoretical lifespan of human beings is between 150 and 160 years old, due to the world-wide turmoil caused by the previous two world wars and the establishment of the post-war alliance, as well as the organized humans/extinction of some crazy organizations, there are relatively few elderly and middle-aged people who have actually survived, especially men, and there have been several dangerous discontinuations. Therefore, it is definitely not easy for this old man to survive and live a long and healthy life.

According to Merlin's age deduced from the age to which the furnishings belonged, the old man must have been born before World War I, spent his childhood or adolescence with the ruthless war for resources that swept the world, and witnessed the prosperity and rapid decline of Seki Castle after the Restoration.

Then, twenty years later, in the prime of life, he experienced the Second World War provoked by the two camps, and perhaps he also responded to the call of the base camp that had been crazy to bet on the war, and was ready to go to the battlefield in order to practice the vaunted "Mandate of Heaven" and to fulfill the so-called "mission" given to Guancheng by God. But unfortunately, he could only witness the mad base camp leading the city into the abyss of destruction.

Then, he experienced the extreme turmoil caused by the abolition of the state and the nation, the erasure of culture and civilization, and the unification of the written and written language, witnessed the final battle and glory, and saw with his own eyes the true sense of "world unity".

But then, he was forced to go through the rebellion, the restoration movement, and the ideal plan set off by the remnants of the old era, the idealists, and careerists...... He may have participated in the bloody war to suppress independence and eliminate separatism, and he has witnessed the extreme madness of human beings and the most tyrannical side of nature.

Finally, in the end, he has entered the old age, and he has experienced the wave of trainers and Pokémon from the Alliance, which has packaged Warcraft as Pokémon, turned dangerous giants into dolls in their pockets, and turned monsters that could only be controlled by the strong into pets that everyone can control. The Alliance drives empty and bored people into the pristine areas full of dangers, drives people to manifest Pokémon to take Pokémon, and fills the blank gaps in people's lives and thoughts with Pokémon......

The life of the old man for more than half a century happens to be the most magnificent chapter in the not long history of mankind, in this short period of time, the power of human beings has reached the extreme, human beings for the first time really have the ability to threaten nature, really have the ability to transform nature, of course, it is also the first time to really taste the revenge of nature. Humans have truly tamed the vast majority of Warcraft. Humanity has conquered the vast majority of diseases and disasters. Human beings are able to move and live at will without being bound by geography or space. Human beings can roam freely without the constraints of the sea and the shackles of the sky. Even this huge and small planet can no longer hold back the pace of mankind and land on the universe and the moon......

The countless dreams that human beings have fantasized about for countless years have been realized one by one in this short period of time, and they have all been realized one by one in the life of the old man. Even if he had only lived, seen, heard, and heard, then his life was legendary enough. What's more, this old guy is definitely not just watching these things from a distance. Merlin found some clues, and it was obvious that the old man should have been involved in the whole of those events, or at least a considerable part of them.

With Merlin's insight and vision, he found the rifles and military monster restraint balls produced by Seki Castle in World War II in the furnishings of the living room, and once saw the worn and blood-stained Seki military flag in the old man's bedroom at a brief glance, and also saw various weapons that were placed and preserved in other rooms...... These all show that the old man once joined the army, and should have participated in the 6th Army during World War II.

On this day, after serving the old man for lunch, Merlin found a vacancy and slipped into the old man's bedroom and began to look for other clues that could prove the old man's identity. He had only been able to sneak a peek twice before, so this time he must take this opportunity to take a closer look. He had already mastered the general movement of the old man, and he usually spent time in the practice arena after eating, so Merlin had at least two hours or so for him to carry out his own small actions. Letting Wizier let the wind blow in the doorway, Merlin gently pushed open the door and stepped into the quaint bedroom.

Not in the mood to look at the old furniture, Merlin's gaze was always wandering over the weapons that had been carefully displayed and erased from time to time—the Type 99 rifle, the Type 30 bayonet, the Southern Type 14 pistol, the saber, the steel helmet with bullet holes and bullet marks—the basic armament of the soldiers and generals of the Seki Army, which had been the product of the madness of the Sekijo stronghold when it boasted of its prowess to the world, a symbol of sin and a reflection of madness, but for the old man these things may have been merely memories of the past.

Merlin didn't bother to think about whether the old man would be sleepless or guilty about the lost life, he just wanted to find something that would prove the old man's identity.

As his eyes wandered quickly, Merlin quickly locked on the old photographs on the wall, but due to the age of the photographs, the clarity of these carefully preserved photographs under the glass plate was not too high, so Merlin could not see clearly from a distance, so he had to move to the front to take a closer look.

"Taken at 4 p.m. on October 12, 40......," Merlin squinted, recognising the pen handwriting in the lower right corner of the photo.

"Taken at the withered leaves training base, take a photo with Yingzhijun." The old man's voice suddenly came from behind, and he finished reading the rest of the handwriting.

Merlin swallowed hard, turned back in embarrassment, and lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the old man.

"If you're curious about me, just ask......" The old man's voice didn't seem to be very angry, "Do you have to sneak in like this?" Are you trying to unravel my identity yourself? ”

"The juniors are rude." Merlin whispered. At the same time, he looked up slightly in the direction of the old man, and just saw that Wizil was squeezing his eyebrows at him behind the old man, as if to apologize. Glaring at Vizel, Merlin continued to hang his head.

The old man ignored him, walked straight to the place where the photo was hung, and raised his hand to touch the glass surface, "For you, those wars and madness are just words in books, but for people like me, they are real scenes that can emerge with your eyes closed......"

Merlin was silent.

"Looking back on my life, it's been so exciting. The most lively, powerful, and crazy time for humanity happened to be caught up by me, and I was lucky enough to carry these experiences to this day. Sometimes it's really incredible to think about it......" The old man walked behind Merlin again, raised his hand and patted Merlin lightly on the shoulder, so that Merlin almost fell to the ground.

"Since you want to know who I am, I will naturally sue you. After all, it's kind of unfair that only I know who you are and you don't know who I am, isn't it? The old man said softly.

"You know my identity?" Merlin snorted in surprise. He wasn't sure how much the old man knew about him.

"Of course I do. Am I going to take someone of suspicious shape with me? Am I going to trust someone who doesn't know the roots? If I don't know who you are, how can I trust you to cook for me? ”

Merlin began to break out in a cold sweat. He felt that the old man seemed to know his identity and background completely.

"Higashikawa Merlin, born in June of '80...... In January '97, he received the Jenny turtle from the Takasugi Research Institute in Toyoyoshi Town and began his journey as a trainer...... On March 1st, he received a gray badge at the Nibi Gym by the acting hall master...... "The old man recounted Merlin's official resume during this time," these are the things recorded on your trainer card. He chuckled softly, "And I, too, know something that isn't on the card......"

Merlin shuddered.

"The eldest son of the Dongrong clan has four sons. Congenital deafness, which can be treated with weak hearing with the help of equipment. Acquired severe myopia, leaving glasses is about the same as being blind. A person who is born with ability. A gifted scholar of ancient civilizations, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in ancient civilization and a master's degree in archaeology by Rainbow University for his achievements and contributions in this field. Self-taught to obtain the league-certified Pokémon Doctor qualification, and is also a league-certified Pokémon Battle Competition Senior Judge. With the qualifications of a surgeon, he is also a good old man...... Since his travels, he has resolutely not used the Alliance's teleportation system, let alone sought healing and rest at the Pokémon Center...... "The old man shook off Merlin's affairs," and learned how to concoct juice from Saki. In the Golden Hall, he became a member of Nazi's Abilities Organization. At the commission of Natsu, I once entered Fuji's research institute to collect items......"

The more Merlin listened, the more frightened she became. The question of identity that I was most worried about seemed to be a complete joke on the old man's side. He is completely transparent to the old man.

"Do you think the Coalition won't be able to collect this basic information? Although you don't carry a bestiary, don't use a teleportation system, and don't stay overnight in the center to recover, it's too easy for the Alliance to collect your information, after all, you live in a world controlled by the Alliance, and you're still on the path of a trainer. What you're doing isn't a secret to the Alliance. The old man patted Merlin's shoulder again, who was already frozen, "Otherwise, why do you think that with your questionable origin, there are still people in the alliance who have shown favor to you?" You know, the league doesn't have a very friendly attitude towards the remnants of the old days. Although it does loosen up a bit now......"

Merlin nodded slowly, but his mouth was bitter, and his heart was even more complicated.

"Your little trick of hiding your identity is too naïve, if those guys are as simple as you, it will not be such a headache for those juniors." The old man rubbed Merlin's head vigorously, "Do you still dye your hair blue, is it beautiful?" ”

Merlin smiled wryly.

"Forget it, I won't tease you." The old man walked up to Merlin again and said to Merlin, "Since I know your identity, then it is time for you to know my identity." You may be unfamiliar with my name, but you may have heard it. My name is ...... Zang"

"Insect Master ......" Merlin, who had been stunned, immediately reflexively popped out a series of words after hearing the name Zang, "The supreme powerhouse of the Guandu Alliance, the real insect master, the strongest king of Guandu, the ultimate ...... of insect power"

"I thought people your age wouldn't know about an old antique like me." The old man said with a smile.

"But you look like two people in the photo......" Merlin said excitedly as he recovered from the blow, "Your image has changed a little too much...... looking up at the thin bald man with long eyebrows and beard, and thinking about the image left behind by that mythical figure. The two are contrasted, and they are completely incompatible.

Zang, who is called "Insect Master" by people in awe, is also old during his tenure in the alliance, but a straight suit that imitates the style of a military uniform and a signature roll has always been his signature, and the tall and strong guy who gets older and more masculine (the female fan language at the time) The popularity of the guy in Guandu back then was almost comparable to today's Du.

But now this old man is not there except for his height, which is relatively close to Mr. Zang's image. But Mr. Zang's temper is still there, and Mr. Zang in the past was known for similar moodiness. At the same time, he is also well-known for his strange powers, which are said to be able to engage in one-on-one martial arts with real strange forces without falling behind. There is still something left over from this, and according to Wizil, the old man seems to have a lot of strength. And Mr. Zang's other iconic signature, the eyes that are forever glowing red and bloody, are completely nowhere to be found on the old man's body, although the slightly cloudy eyes look unfathomable and powerful, but they are not at all the eyes that can make the angry tyrannosaurus bow down to the ears with a single glare.

Looking at Merlin's suspicious gaze, the old man smiled, "After all, I am old, my body is not as good as in the past, my height has shrunk a lot, my muscles have atrophied a lot, and even my urine has begun to be uncontrollable......" The old man sighed a few words.

"However, I remember that the propaganda of the alliance is that you have passed away due to illness...... "Merlin is not sure if it would be offensive for him to say that he is dead on the official side in front of a person who is still alive, "and hold a grand farewell ceremony for you, probably more than ten years ago." ”

"Oh, that's from me." The old man stroked his beard and said, "I let out the wind and say that I died of a sudden illness, so I can attract the giants of the ideal country who did evil in Guancheng at the beginning, and surround and kill them." The old man said very hard things very calmly, "But I was injured a lot in that battle, and many of the old men died, and then I simply went into seclusion." ”

"I see!" Merlin suddenly realized, "It is no wonder that the ideal Congress, which had been so powerful before, began to weaken in the mid-eighties, and changed from the original frontal confrontation alliance to underground guerrilla, and even began to stop terror/terror/attack/retreat defense." It was all because of your strategy that the high-end combat power of the Ideal Country was severely damaged, forcing them to turn to defense and concealment, and then the Alliance stepped up its efforts to attack the Ideal Country and other related organizations, and finally landed on Sufang Island, a secret stronghold on the sea, ten years ago by Mr. Sakaki and others, and finally buried it in the icy seabed ......"

"It would be nice if it really buried them." The old man sighed, "Now it seems that we were still too optimistic and careless back then, and we didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net under that situation." Saga and Natsu led the earthquake and volcanic eruption, which should have completely buried all the personnel of the Ideal Country, who knew that the most dangerous Kikuko would climb back from the abyss......"

Listening to these completely unfamiliar names, Merlin was completely confused. It took a long time to pair the numbers one by one. Saga should be Mr. Sakaki's name, and Sakaki is just his last name. As for Xia, it should be Xia Bo's name, Xia Bo is just a kind of honorific title that everyone has agreed to him. As for that Kikuko, Merlin seems to have a vague impression, but he can't remember it for a while, and he should be a figure from the Ideal Country.

Follow the old guy and you can really find the secret at any time.

"Forget it, don't talk about these worries. Anyway, I've already handed over all the qiē to my juniors, and now I should let them worry about it. The old man waved his hand, "You and I now know each other, so we should be more open......" The old man began to raise his eyebrows again and said to Merlin.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Well, that's a general introduction to the timeline......

The answer to the question in the previous issue: The race value of the Flying Mantis evolving into the Giant Pincer Mantis remains the same, but the physical attack and physical defense are increased and then weakened, which can be regarded as a redistribution. This kind of evolutionary total race value does not increase at all, and so far it has only occurred between them~~

In this issue, I would like to ask: As of now, how many insect trainers are good at using in the official works? Hint, it's the owner of the museum, the king's ~~
