Volume 2: Trial of the City Chapter 113 The Legend of Yuanzhu City
The maglev train is running smoothly, but Wang Hao's heart is difficult to calm down at the moment. He kept thinking about his future actions in his mind, and in order to resurrect Menas, his first goal was naturally to find the whereabouts of the Phoenix King's guards.
At present, he has two clues related to the whereabouts of the Fengwang Guards: one is the Scorched Tower in Yuanzhu City, which is the place where the Fengwang Guards are resurrected, and they are very likely to return there; The other is an area with serious water pollution, and Mizukun often wanders in the Pokémon world in the form of the north wind, and he often appears in areas with serious water pollution with the ability to purify water sources.
However, no matter which of these two clues, Wang Hao was not sure, and he could only face it with the mentality of giving it a try. If these two clues failed to find any member of the Phoenix King Guard, then where should Wang Hao go? This is also the main reason why Wang Hao's heart is difficult to calm down now.
Xiao Wei naturally saw Wang Hao's anxiety at this time, but he didn't say any words of relief, nor did he bother Wang Hao, but kept paying attention to all the information related to the Phoenix King Guard on the player channel. In addition, Serena also paid special attention to the places where there is water pollution in the Johto area, which may be places where the water monarch will appear, and need to be marked and paid attention to.
In this way, both Wang Hao and Xiao Wei are busy in their respective fields, and the maglev train to the Chengdu area is slowly approaching Manjin City. After arriving in Manjin City, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei did not stop long, but directly let the fossil pterosaur take them to the north of Manjin City.
Manjin is located in the western part of the entire Johto area and is the largest city in Johto. Yuanzhu City is located in the north of the Johto area, between the Bowl Mountain and the Ohara on the west bank of the Jotoshi. From Manjin City, head all the way north, passing through Road 35, Road 36 and Road 37 to reach Yuanju City.
When Wang Hao and Xiao Wei arrived above Yuanzhu City, the first thing that caught their eyes was the city's tallest building, the ten-story bell tower. This is followed by Japanese-style architecture full of historical and cultural features, which brings out the atmosphere of the historic city to the extreme. However, at this time, Wang Hao's eyes were attracted by the northwest of the city.
Because there is a building that was destroyed by fire, the Scorched Tower. Serena Williams commanded the fossil pterosaur to land in front of the Scorched Tower, which at this time was only visible ruins and a basement floor. Looking at the dilapidated appearance here, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei could hardly imagine what this tower looked like in its most glorious period.
At this time, a man wearing a purple tuxedo, a white cloak on his shoulders, and blonde hair, and another man wearing black clothes and white pants, a purple scarf on his shoulders, and a purple headband, also with golden hair, appeared in front of Wang Hao and Xiao Wei.
"Are you also here to find the legend of Yuanzhu City? Do you have any clues? Can you tell me about it? ”
As soon as the man in the purple tuxedo saw Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, he immediately chattered and asked, while the other man next to him was obviously very helpless about his behavior and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry! This friend of mine is a fan of the legend of Yuanzhu City, and when he saw who appeared near the Scorched Tower, he thought that someone else was coming for the legend! I'm the owner of this Zhushi Gym, my name is Matsuba! His name is Shui Jing, and he claims to be an expert of the Phoenix King Guard! ”
Suikyo and Matsuba? Wang Hao never expected that he and Xiao Wei had just arrived at the Scorched Tower when they encountered these two NPCs, especially Shui Jing. In the previous version of the Pokémon game, Mizukyo was a mysterious boy who had been chasing Mizu-kun, the "incarnation of the North Wind". Although the name of the Phoenix King Guard is what he calls himself, when it comes to understanding the Phoenix King Guard, few people can compare to him. So, Wang Hao wanted to learn some information about the Fengwang Guards from Shui Jing's mouth.
"Hello! My name is Wang Hao, and this is my friend, Xiao Wei! What do you mean by the legend of Yuanzhu City? My friend and I just came from the Kanto area and it's not very clear! ”
Although Wang Hao also wanted to ask Shui Jing directly about the Fengwang Guard, the legend of Yuanzhu City, which could make Shui Jing ask questions three times, must also be related to the Fengwang Guard. That's why Wang Hao chose to start with the legend of Yuanzhu City.
"So you just came from the Kanto area! It's normal not to know the legend of Yuanzhu City! Now that you've met, let me tell you about the legends of this city! About 700 years ago, in order to promote friendship and hope between humans and Pokémon, the people of Yuanju City built two towers. The Bell Tower, located in the east, and the Bell Tower, located in the west, have also become the habitat of the legendary Pokémon Phoenix King and Lokia. People can often see the rainbows and air currents left behind by the Phoenix King and Lokia when they cut through the sky, and it is a spectacle that can only be seen in Yuanzhu City! However, the struggle between humans has never ended! Legend has it that Lokia saw the people of the Johto region fighting on the island of Uzumaki, so in a fit of rage, she split the entire island into four and rolled up the whirlpool to guard it so that no one could get any closer. The war was stopped, and Lokia was never seen again at the Bell Tower in Yuanzhu City. Five hundred and fifty years after the end of the war, one hundred and fifty years ago, an inexplicable lightning bolt struck the Tower of the Bell, which was not guarded by Lokia, and caused a monstrous fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and it was only because of a timely heavy rain that the fire was extinguished! But it was not only the Tower of Bells that were burned down in this fire, but also three innocent unknown Pokémon, and it was at this time that King Feng descended from the sky to resurrect them. The resurrected Pokémon was endowed with three powers: the lightning bolt that attacked the Tower of the Bell, Thunder Gong; The flames that burned down the Tower of the Bell, Emperor Yan; Save the rain from the Tower of Bells, Lord of Water. However, at that time, people were extremely afraid of Pokémon that had the power to manipulate their life force, and even tried to use violence to suppress Emperor Yan, Lei Gong, and Water King. Emperor Yan, Lei Gong and Shui Jun, who were extremely disappointed in the people, chose to leave Yuanzhu City silently, and King Feng also left the Bell Tower for this reason! It has been one hundred and fifty years now, and no one has seen King Feng, Emperor Yan, Lei Gong and Shui Jun appear in Yuanzhu City! This is the legend of Yuanzhu City, and it is also the story of the legendary Pokémon of the city! ”
Two towers were built in the hope of promoting friendship between humans and Pokémon, but the legendary Pokémon in the towers were expelled because they were afraid of the Pokémon's power. Maybe that's how it is for all human beings! Worship the gods, but fear the gods!
"But 150 years have passed, and the way people get along with Pokémon has long since changed, and now people not only travel with Pokémon, but also grow together! Could it be that King Feng, Emperor Yan, Duke Lei and Shui Jun didn't notice it in the slightest? Could it be that they have never returned to Yuanzhu City? ”
Xiao Wei can naturally understand the feeling of being expelled, but a hundred and fifty years have passed, have these legendary Pokémon not returned once? Anyway, this is the place where they once left a deep memory! With such doubts, he asked Shui Jing a question.
"I don't know if they've ever come back! However, I have heard a rumor that as long as the brave man with the rainbow feather climbs the Linglong Pagoda, he can call the Phoenix King back to Yuanzhu City! As long as King Feng returns, then the three legendary Pokémon he resurrected will naturally return to Yuanzhu City! It's just that until today, I haven't seen the warrior with the rainbow feather appear! ”
It's rainbow feathers again! Wang Hao needs this thing if he wants to resurrect Menas, and Yuan Zhu City also needs this thing if he wants to recall King Feng! It's just that the one who holds the rainbow feather now is the Phoenix King Guard! Wang Hao was already a little impatient to know about the situation of the Fengwang Guard, so he hurriedly asked Shui Jing.
"Mr. Shuijing, aren't you an expert in the Phoenix King Guard? What do you know about the Phoenix King Guard? ”
"The Phoenix King Guard, that is, the three legendary Pokémon that were burned to death in the Tower of Bells in the legend of Yuan Zhu City just now, and then resurrected and empowered by the Feng King, and at the same time were feared and expelled by the people of Yuan Zhu City one hundred and fifty years ago, Emperor Yan, Lei Gong and Water Monarch. Although legend has it that it was their own choice to leave Yuanzhu City, after my understanding, it was not! As the Phoenix King's guards, they are directly under the orders of the Phoenix King, and at the same time, they are also the envoys of the Phoenix King to observe the human race, and most of their departure is due to the orders of the Phoenix King! I flipped through the history of the Johto area in the past hundred and fifty years, and found that every time a member of the Phoenix King Guard appeared, it was at some special moment, such as the Water Monarch mostly appeared in places where the water was polluted; Yandi mostly appears in the place where Pokémon is in distress; Lei Gongduo appeared in the place where the fire occurred. Although they often roam the Johto area and don't even appear in front of people, they will help people and Pokémon in distress whenever they are in danger. ”
Shui Jing explained some of his knowledge and knowledge about the Fengwang Guards to Wang Hao and Xiao Wei like a few family treasures, without any reservations. This made Wang Hao have a better impression of Shui Jing, so he also explained his situation to Shui Jing, including the purpose of his coming to the Chengdu area, the role of the rainbow feather, and the test of the Phoenix King Guard.
And these contents seem to have ignited Shui Jing's research enthusiasm in an instant, and he kept asking Wang Hao his doubts, and then got detailed answers from Wang Hao. In the end, Shui Jing grabbed Wang Hao's hand with some excitement and said, "Since you are also looking for members of the Phoenix King Guard, then let's go together!" With me, you can avoid a lot of detours, as long as you successfully pass the test of the Phoenix King Guard, you can become a brave man with the rainbow feather, and you can call back the Phoenix King for Yuan Zhu City! And when the time comes, I will be able to see the entire Phoenix King Guard smoothly! ”。
Of course, Wang Hao was very happy for Shui Jing to join, and with Shui Jing's understanding of the Phoenix King Guard, he and Xiao Wei didn't have to run around like headless flies. Just as Wang Hao promised Shuijing, an orange-red Pokémon was stepping away from the back of the scorched tower.
