Merlin was woken up by a constant sharp pain from the back of his head - although he was lying on his side, a large bag was swollen on the back of his head, and it was no joke, it really hurt all the time. Merlin, who woke up, gasped and tried to touch the swollen bag with his hand, but when he didn't seem to touch it, there was a hot pain, a heart-piercing pain. Even the gentle touch of his fingers made Merlin grin in pain and burst into tears.

In the haze of tears, Merlin vaguely saw the worried few companions around him and the familiar furnishings of the hut, and then realized that his party had escaped safely and returned to Mr. Zang's mansion.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a strong wind blow in the back of his head, and a clean kernel went straight to the back of Merlin's head with murderous energy.

Subconsciously blocked it with the back of his hand, although he stopped the core from hitting the swollen Lao Gao's big bag and causing secondary damage, but the back of his hand was firmly hit, and the painful Merlin grinned again, and exhaled in pain.

"How dare you call me pain!?" Mr. Zang's confident voice sounded in the back of Merlin's head, "You were so angry last night that you were clamoring to die with the bugs!" Show me some more! I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be able to do such a stupid thing with a cunning little ghost! The old man blew his beard and glared at Merlin.

Merlin's Hudi and Gotha Duck were beside him to refill tea for the old man with foam at the corners of his mouth, Happy Egg rubbed the old man's shoulders and legs together with the Changeling Monster who had changed into the shape of Nazi, and Nine-Tails waited for the fire in the distance with the Cutty Dog and the Little Fire Dragon, and everyone was very busy.

Merlin sat up as he listened to the count, turned around and turned straight at the old man, and lowered his eyebrows to accept these ramblings and chatter, he didn't find anything difficult to accept, on the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

Maybe it's because Merlin's low posture is very good for Mr. Zang, or maybe it's because Merlin doesn't dare to talk back and makes Mr. Zang feel bored, after criticizing Merlin for about an hour and drinking two large pots of tea, the old gentleman pouted, grabbed the teapot and sucked up the last water in it in one breath and stopped talking.

"Well, I'm too lazy to train you anymore." Mr. Zhuang casually threw the quaint teapot of Zisha to Hu Di, who was serving carefully, and slurred, "Matcha is too bitter and too much scum, but this kind of tea is more to my appetite." He shifted his gaze to Merlin again, "I'm going to ask you now which tendon did you make the mistake of turning survival training into a wheel-to-wheel battle early?" Did you take the wrong medicine or what's the matter, and you ran to my neighborhood to kill yourself just fifteen days later? I thought you had gained some kind of heavy breakthrough, so I hurriedly increased the difficulty of your training, and the result was still like a bear! ”

Merlin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go deep into the Great Rift and into the underground lava cavern, and then ran into the terrifying middle-aged man and the even more terrifying Geng Ghost, and told the story and the old man.

After listening to Merlin's eloquent words, the old man picked up a red apple and threw it at Merlin, smashing him on the forehead. Merlin, who was attacked by this, rubbed his forehead and did not dare to make a sound.

"Idiot! Hopeless fools! The old man was still angry, and scolded Merlin again, and Merlin couldn't raise his head before he stopped. Then he glanced at the praying mantis brothers who were a little farther away, and turned his fire on them, "I expected you two to take him into the Great Rift, but didn't I tell you to take him there later?" Don't you know that this little ghost is greedy for life and afraid of death, and a little accident can make him run away with his tail between his legs?! The praying mantis brother silently lowered his head and humbly accepted the old gentleman's scolding, "You have to take him on an adventure, you want to ...... so much"

"As for you!" After scolding the mantis brothers, the old gentleman began to scold Merlin again, "I will go down to the hot spring every six months or so to find something in the lava cave, and there have been no accidents for so many years, why did you just bump into a wicked person when you went there!?" I just happened to bump into a super grade!? Why is your luck so low! ”

Merlin actually wanted to ask the same question.

"And then you say you're stupid and you don't admit it, you think you're some kind of valuable thing, and whoever sees you wants to kill you? Still running for your life? I'll go! As long as you enter the woods, I don't believe that any blind guy dares to chase you! If he dares to step in with his front foot, I will let him not land with a second foot! The old man said viciously, "But I don't have much impression of this guy you said, he shouldn't be a well-known trainer, and he is not a clean person." The old man stroked his beard, "But for now, you can leave him alone at all, let him go." He shook his hand nonchalantly.

Merlin hurriedly began to pat himself cautiously on the side, half sincere and half against his will, although in exchange for a few scoldings from the old man, it was obvious that Mr. Zang's mood was much better.

Merlin saw that the time was ripe and immediately changed the subject, "Sir, Lingzi has 'seized' a lot of loot in the lava cave, see if you can use it......"

"." Mr. Zang unceremoniously interrupted Merlin's chatter, "What do I want from you, old man?" If I need it, I'll take it, and I can't take anything from your junior. The old gentleman looks like a senior master, "Say, did you come across something you don't know?" If you want to instruct the old man, I'll just say it, don't engage in all these empty heads and twists and turns all day long. ”

Merlin accompanied the smiling face, and at the same time motioned for Lingzi to go and put the seizures in front of Mr. Zang.

The old gentleman picked up another apple and nibbled on it, casually glancing at the piles of various props and various minerals, "I can't see that you can still scavenge it." The old gentleman ate the apples and said somewhat vaguely, "I'm afraid that the number of piles can only be collected by looting several large communities, right?" They don't like to collect these things, so they usually use them to coax children or something......"

When Merlin heard this, he immediately looked at Lingzi, but Lingzi glared back very angrily.

"You don't know all these props, do you?" The old man continued to nibble on the apple.

Merlin hurriedly pointed out the four items he couldn't identify one by one for the Nine-Tails to take out, and then took out the additional metal coating.

"Hmm......" the old man stroked his beard, "this little square box is a 'magma drive', and the fire system can use it to gain the power of magma, and it can also increase the temperature of the fire fire's trick. Mr. Zang said slowly, "But its most important purpose is not to enhance the fire system, but to allow the duck-billed fire dragon to evolve." ”

Merlin hurriedly memorized this knowledge, and at the same time, there was a trace of doubt in his heart, "Can the duck-billed fire dragon evolve again?" The question in my heart was accidentally said.

"Well, it can evolve. This is an evolutionary lineage that has only been confirmed in the last few years. Mr. Zhuang nodded but obviously didn't want to talk deeply, "Now, that's the metal coating, you won't recognize it, right?" He pointed to the bundle of sheet metal that was placed a little farther away, and digressed the subject.

"The kid naturally recognizes it." Merlin hurriedly said, "It's just that I don't know how to let the Flying Mantis carry it." ”

"Oh, that's a little thing, I'll teach you in a moment." Mr. Zang, who successfully changed the topic, began to identify the remaining three props again, "That stone, that is the almost transparent stone......" He pointed to the rough stone of some mineral, "We call it the 'Crimson Mirror' It's a very fun stone, its biggest use is to put it in front of your eyes and see things through it, you can try it first." ”

Merlin hurriedly picked up the rather heavy piece of rough mineral in both hands and held it up in front of his eyes. He was amazed by what he saw through the almost transparent stone. Through the red transparent material, Merlin's sight turned into a ball of flames of different shapes! He turned his direction in astonishment to look at different places, and soon figured out how the vision reflected by the stone worked. Depending on the level of strength, it was able to transform the living creatures in the scenes it treated into flames of different shades, colors, and concentrations.

For example, Mr. Zang is a white flame in the form of a human, while Lingzi and Wizil are pale blue Hudi-shaped flames and nine-tailed flames, Nightingale and Lavi are faint red flames, and Legion and the little fire dragon are dark red and orange-red.

Seeing Merlin holding the rough stone and looking around, Mr. Zang continued: "This mineral can turn the 'true vision' into 'flame vision', and use guò flames of different temperatures and purities to roughly mark the comprehensive value of ** energy and power, so it has been used as a reference for judging grades for a long time in the past. But now it doesn't have much effect. The old gentleman raised his eyebrows, "When you go out, find a better lapidary to help you grind this rough stone into a few pairs of lenses and make glasses for the Flame Pokémon to carry." This thing gives them fire vision and can see through the void ......"

Having had enough, Merlin hurriedly put the rough stone down, and at the same time kept in mind the task of finding a lapidary to polish the lenses.

"But I guess you can make two or three pairs of lenses out of this stone. It's still less. The old gentleman curled his fingers over the end of his eyebrows, "Bring me the ring and the piece of metal, and I'll take a closer look." He commanded the Nine-Tails, who were lying next to the pile of props.

The Nine-Tails immediately wrapped these two things with his ability and handed them to the old man, taking them in his hand and weighing them first, the old man squinted his eyes and looked at them for a while, "This thing...... He pinched the quaint ring with his index finger and thumb, "It should be a kind of prop cast by ancient humans, and it is very rusty on it, but it seems to be a pattern of a sub-bat...... Call your cross-word bat. And he commanded.

Merlin hurriedly called Dracula.

"Come here." Mr. Zang beckoned at it, and the forked bat flew to the old man's approach. Suddenly, the old man's ape arm stretched out and grabbed the body of the forked bat, pulled it closer, and then forcefully put the ring on the right foot of the struggling forked bat, and looked at it for a while before letting it go.

Dracula, who was attacked, immediately flew to Merlin's side aggrieved and complained to Merlin.

"Let it feel like there's something different." The old gentleman said lightly. There is no intention of admitting mistake at all.

The crossbat hesitated and flew for a moment, felt it, and then gave Merlin feedback.

"Dracula said it felt as if it was flying lighter, and the sound waves penetrated deeper...... "Merlin said all the words of Dracula as he had translated.

"Well," Mr. Zang scratched his beard, "and sure enough, it's the 'Bat Ring'." He nodded, "This thing was specially forged for bats by the ancients, and the inferior ones are probably small gains such as enhancing perception and increasing the frequency of sound waves, you seem to be a high-end product, and there should be other functions, but this requires you and your forked bats to slowly explore." ”

Merlin's eyes lit up.

"And then this ......" Mr. Zang tossed the pentagonal metal badge in his hand, "this thing is too old, and it's too worn, I can't see too much of it......" He jerked around and pressed the badge against Gotha Duck's chest.

The Gotha duck, who was attacked by this raid, was stunned for a moment.

"Do you feel anything?" The old man asked it seriously.

Duck lowered his head and looked at the badge attached to his chest, and sensed it for a while, [It seems, it seems that he has gained some defense gains, and it should be a ...... in terms of special defense]

Merlin said what Duck had said.

"Special defense...... the old gentleman stroked his beard again, "Speaking of the difference between the ancient and modern badges, you kid should know better than me, you can tell me what the badges of the past are for." ”

Merlin blurted out, "If it's a badge related to Warcraft, then in ancient times—at least in the known, historically known ancient times—badges were widely used as a carrier of some kind of power-buff. Different badges represent different strengths, different attributes, different stats, more or less buffs, and so on. And today's Gym badge can be said to be a cut version of the old badge of the old era, and there is no ......"

"Well, that's enough." The old man interrupted Merlin, "In other words, this old badge is a carrier of special defense enhancements, which can allow the wearer to obtain a small special defense buff, but due to the age and injury, the effect of the gain is already small, but it can still be used for a while. The old gentleman continued, "...... Therefore, the easiest way to quickly identify unrecognizable props is to let Pokémon touch them personally, and wearing or carrying them for a period of time can intuitively reflect the basic role of these props...... "Mr. Zang began to teach impromptu again.

Merlin seized the opportunity to expand his knowledge and accumulate knowledge.

After rambling a lot about the various knowledge about props, Mr. Zang talked about how various props should be carried by Pokémon by the way, "...... One way to hang things like this badge or those beads on your body is to make a chain, or you can let the Pokémon hold it directly or use its own power to stick it outside the body. Some items require special carrying, and the help of a trainer, especially if it's something like this one. Mr. Zang pointed to the bundle of metal film that had been left out in the cold for a long time, "It's more difficult to carry a thing like a metal coating, but to put it bluntly, it's actually quite easy to carry, just open it and wrap it on the Pokémon's limbs...... You, come here. He called directly Pryles, the younger brother of the praying mantis brothers, who was eager to evolve.

"I'll guide you by the side, and you'll understand it yourself." He instructed Merlin, "Open this bundle of film......

Merlin immediately did so, squatting on the ground and first wrapping a protective layer on his hand with his ability, and then mustered up a lot of strength to open the bundle of metal pieces, but at a glance, he found that these metal pieces were much lighter than expected, so they stretched out very smoothly. Hold one end down with your ability and drag the rest of the metal coating until it fully unfolds into a rectangular film of metal about four or five meters long.

"Well, let's cut it open." Mr. Zang continued to instruct, "If the big rock snake wants to carry a metal coating, it will be much simpler, just wrap the body directly. However, the flying mantis is different, and the other steel systems are also different, some of them need to be cut into suitable small pieces according to the different body structures and then wrapped around specific limbs. ”

Pryers immediately swung his scythe and couldn't wait to make a move.

"Well, cut more here, and wait a while to wrap it around the sickle. Since it has evolved to be an attack area, it requires additional hardness...... Right...... The rest should be cut in a small way, just enough to basically cover the chest, abdomen, and legs. Don't waste too much, just have some meaning. You don't have too much metal coating, but if you do, you can wrap a few more layers...... Well, leave some leftovers to wrap around the joint......"

Mr. Zang skillfully commanded Pryers and Merlin to carry out the cutting operation. It didn't take long for a whole sheet of metallic coating to be turned into large and small pieces all over the floor.

"Wrap it up." Mr. Zang commanded, "Be careful not to hurt its body...... Well, carefully fold it out of the dent......"

Merlin had to wrap metal film around Pryles' body piece by piece, and soon it turned into a silver flying mantis.

"Try to move." Mr. Zhuang commanded.

Pryers took a few tentative steps and swung his scythe a few times, a little stiff but still at least a little mobile.

"Well, that's it. In the past few days, let it get used to the storage of these metals, and then it will be foolproof to carry out the evolution of electron transport after it has some perception and experience of these steels. Mr. Zang said, "It's still what I said before, evolution is a very particular thing, as a trainer, you have to think of everything you can think of, and you have to think of what you can't think of." And you can't rush it, and of course, don't procrastinate......"

Merlin is being taught.

After finishing his work on Pryers' metal coating, Mr. Zhuang chattered for a while before getting up and leaving Merlin's cabin. When Merlin's team followed him and sent him out of the moon gate respectfully, he suddenly stopped, then turned back to Merlin and said, "Since you have finished your survival training in the wilderness - although the results are not too good, they are okay, and they are quite beyond my expectations, then your practice here should also come to an end." Rest for a few days, and I'll be going to give you a 'final test' in a few days." ”

As he spoke, he drifted away, leaving Merlin and the others pondering what the "final test" was.

The answer to the question in the previous issue: The sixteenth level of the little fire dragon evolved into a fire dinosaur, and the thirty-sixth level of the fire dinosaur evolved into a fire-breathing dragon~

In this issue, may I ask: Which Pokémon can be carried by the metal coating introduced in this section? In fact, it has been said in the article~~
