"No matter how many times you look at it, the elegance and beauty of this Menas will not fade in the slightest!"

Mikoli gazed at Menas who was resting in the elven treatment room as if he were on a pilgrimage, and sighed with a slight distraction.

Xia Chen said helplessly on the side: "It's okay, Teacher Mikeli, you've been watching for half an hour, let the child rest for a while."

It's been more than half an hour since the end of that match.

If it's just a battle of average intensity, even if you lose your ability to fight, Menas should almost recover at this point.

And the intensity just now, according to Miss Joy's diagnosis report from the Liuli Gym, it is recommended that it is best to rest for a whole day, after all, it is a real depletion of energy and physical strength.

However, according to Menas, who had just woken up, he had achieved more gains in such a battle than a hundred ordinary battles, and it was worthy of his efforts just now.

Leaving Duo Longqi and Shanaiduo, who had almost recovered, to accompany Menas in the ward to relieve their boredom, with Joey and Happy Egg to take care of, Xia Chen didn't have to worry too much.

He went with Michaeli to meet his teacher, Adam, the former owner of the Liuli Gym, and had lunch by the way.

Behind the Glazed Gym is the ancestral residence of Mikli, a manor-style building full of the Hoenn aristocratic style in the Middle Ages.

At present, there are only two inhabitants, Adam and Mikkeli, but the butlers, cooks, maids, etc., who serve have a team of nearly forty people, which is very old.

Xia Chen saw Yashi, who was fighting with Qianli on the battlefield-

The Thorn Dragon King played against the Great King Yan, the battle was fierce, and the scene was also indistinguishable for a while.

However, the two did not dwell on the final victory, and after seeing Xia Chen coming, they took back their respective elves and handed them to the waiting medical team to take them over for treatment.

The four of them sat down on the balcony next to the battlefield to enjoy the scenery, taste tea, and chat.

…………

"Haha, Mr. Xia Chen is really young, I just watched the battle between you and Mikli, and Qianli and I had itchy hands for a while, so we talked for a while, and waited for a long time."

Adam, who was dressed in a decent aqua blue dress, greeted Xia Chen with a hearty smile, and then took a sip of tea, his posture was elegant but not feminine, and he was very much in the style of [Charming Playboy] who was missed by countless Fengyuan ladies and eldest ladies.

Qianli, who was shaved on the side, walked in another tough guy style, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Since the battle is over, you have to finish it well, and if you don't fight halfway through, what's the matter." ”

It seems that he has complained about the pause in the match.

Adam laughed and said, "How many times have we both fought, it's not bad this time, anyway, you have to stay in Liuli City for a while, and then fight in the afternoon." ”

gave a promise, and Qianli was willing to let Adam go.

After the old friends resolved the small conflict, Xia Chen replied with a smile: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Adam." ”

Adam said very politely: "I should say this, I have been nesting in Liuli City for the past two years, I didn't expect to see a young talent like you, thanks to Mikeli, Liuli City declared Liuli City as the host city of the gorgeous celebration." ”

Mikli, who was cue, squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "Teacher Adam and I are both one of the main leaders of the Gorgeous Celebration Competition, and it just so happens that Xia Chen is here, and then inviting Miss Ma Xiu over can be regarded as a small high-level meeting of the Gorgeous Celebration." ”

Xia Chen naturally praised him politely, and among the four people, only Qianli didn't speak sullenly-

As a staunch opponent of the glamorous competition, he felt uncomfortable as if he were a rice spoon snake approaching a herd of mongooses.

Adam, who noticed his old friend's abnormal mood, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Okay, don't stink your face, I have also rated two matches against that kid of Lubi, he is very talented, whether it is a trainer or a coordination trainer, besides, why do you think that it is a waste of time and energy to invest in flashy games?" The coordination skills required for the Magnificent Contest will also be beneficial for his career as a trainer. ”

Chisaku, who knew his friend very well, glanced at Adam obliquely, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear - "Flicker, flicker!" ”

Adam was slightly stunned, and then looked at Xia Chen with a vague look in his eyes, as if he had found strong evidence.

"Look, isn't this kid Xia Chen the best proof? As the champion of the first Gorgeous Tournament, did he influence his achievements in the Elf Battle? ”

Qianli was stunned, and was about to refute, but heard Adam say again: "Or do you not have that confidence in your son Ruby?" ”

Qianli smiled slightly bitterly, how can you take this?

Admit that Ruby really doesn't have the talent of Xia Chen?

Although it is true, as far as he is concerned, as a father, he does not want to belittle his son in this way.

But not refuting it is tantamount to admitting Adam's argument that "participating in the Gorgeous Contest is not a plaything".

This trick is unsolvable.

…………

"Okay, there is a saying in Donghuang called [children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren], don't worry about Lubi, play in Liuli City for a while, and then go back to be the owner of the hall with peace of mind, and prepare for the battle of the king, you also have your own dreams, don't you?"

Under Adam's persuasion, Chisato nodded sullenly.

Although he is a stubborn person, stubbornness does not mean that he is unreasonable and cannot listen.

Adam's words were a bit sophistry, but in some ways they made sense, and his mood was much more soothing at the moment.

But he was a little unwilling to be pinched by Adam so easily, and couldn't help but sneer: "That's right, it's a pity that you can't enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren." ”

So far, the unmarried playboy is not married, let alone children and grandchildren.

Chisato wanted to rely on these words to win back a city, but Adam smiled mysteriously, "You know what? In fact, there is a second half of this sentence. ”

Qianli faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the second half of the sentence?" ”

Xia Chen, a native of Donghuang, reminded: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I enjoy happiness without children and grandchildren." ”

Adam laughed and patted his friend on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment with Miss Aisha this afternoon, and our battle will be left until tomorrow, but no, tomorrow I'm going to go to Shui Jing City to watch a musical with Lady Fiona, so I can only make an appointment next time." ”

Qianli was brutally killed and completely shut himself off.

After relieving thousands of miles of sorrow, life coach Adam began to do Xia Chen's psychological work again.

"What about you, boy? I see that there seems to be an indelible haze in your heart, have you encountered any troubles? ”

Xia Chen was shocked, this person has mind reading skills? Is it so accurate?

But in a blink of an ear, he thought that some old charlatans in his previous life would use this anchoring technique to find someone to talk to, and his mouth was "I'll pinch my fingers, you must have been troubled recently, right?" ”

That's right, how can there be anyone in this world who doesn't bother?

But then again, Adam shouldn't be that kind of person, maybe he was just looking for a topic.

Xia Chen was thinking about it, and Mikeli had already answered for him first.

"Xia Chen is worried about the gorgeous battle exhibition match at the opening ceremony of the gorgeous celebration, he is a little unconfident, but if I want to see, even if I take out the main elf, he can have a way to deal with it."

Xia Chen: "."

There's no need, fighting a tyrannosaurus almost wiped out Duolongqi and Menas, how do you want me to top the gorgeous battle of 1v1?

However, since Adam had mentioned this matter, Xia Chen decided to talk to them about some of his doubts first.

After all, although the three of them are only hall owners, they all have the strength of the Heavenly King, and they can be regarded as the top combat power in the Hoenn region.

At that time, if there is really any uncontrollable event, it can be regarded as a psychological preparation.

He organized the language for a moment and said: "I do have a little doubt, probably about the recent weather, I suspect that the recent abnormal weather in the Hoenn region, maybe. It has something to do with those two legendary ultra-ancient elves. ”

…………

Hearing Xia Chen's words, the three of them looked different.

Qianli's expression was more inclined to the shock of almost no knowledge, while Adam and Mikkeli were simply surprised, as if they had some psychological presuppositions about what Xia Chen said.

Michaeli said with a serious expression, "Do you know any information?" ”

Xia Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no tangible information and evidence, but from what I have seen and heard along the way in Hoen, as well as my experience with the legendary elves, I think it is not a small possibility." ”

Adam groaned slightly, "Tell me more." ”

Ten minutes later.

That's about what I know."

Xia Chen roughly told the three of them everything except for the fire goose and the keystone, including his own conjecture and that of Gu Leton.

Mikeli said with a calm face: "If it's just these, it's really not evidence, and it's a bit far-fetched even as a conjecture, I, as the people of Liuli, am willing to hold the same position as you to pessimistic about this matter, but the alliance side"

He shook his head slightly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Adam added: "The Meteor People's thousand-year prophecy deadline is approaching, and no one over there takes it seriously, let alone this even more unfounded conjecture, they can't go into martial law because of this, because the cost of such a thing is too great." ”

Xia Chen smiled bitterly and nodded.

Of course, he understands this kind of thing, once the alliance enters a state of martial law, people will fall into panic, schools will be closed, enterprises will be closed, factories will be suspended, and the whole society will be paralyzed.

It's okay if disaster does come, a false alarm. Who is responsible?

Even if Xia Chen is a stunned young man patting his chest and assuring "I will be responsible", he will be told with the sentence "Are you responsible for this?" "Go back.

Mikeli could probably understand what Xia Chen was thinking, and comforted: "If you really can't rest assured, I'll take you to the Awakening Temple guarded by our Liuli people in the afternoon to have a look, and if you can't have any clues, it's not necessarily?" ”

Xia Chen said gratefully: "Then thank you very much, this matter. I hope I'm thinking too much. ”

The other three were a little silent, there was a precedent in the area of Carlos and Pardea in front of them, and they all had some doubts in their hearts about whether the two great gods would wake up.

It may be because the topic is a bit heavy, and the interest of several people after that is not very high, until the housekeeper comes over and calls them to eat, and their mood returns to normal somewhat.

…………

As an old aristocrat in the Hoenn region, of course, the banquet is quite particular, and there are more than 20 dishes such as appetizers, dinners, and desserts after meals, well, there are more than 20 dishes for everyone and elves.

The main thing is that you can't get enough of it.

But having said that, the overall taste of the dishes is still good, plus the special bonus points of Hoenn food that I have rarely eaten before, Xia Chen and the elves are relatively satisfied.

In the afternoon, Adam and Chisato continued the unfinished battle in the morning, while Michaley took Xia Chen to the Awakening Temple not far from the Liuli Gym as promised.

The morning rain had long since stopped, and the sky was a blue glow after the rain—a color that Micoli praised for its elegance.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Chen always feels that the sky here is a little low, and the clouds reflected in the volcanic lake in the center of the Liuli Ancient City seem to be close to touch.

The beautiful scenery after the rain also makes many tourists who take a walk stop by the lake to take pictures, a peaceful and harmonious scene.

The ancient city of Liuli is not big, and the Awakening Temple is on the east side of the volcanic lake, facing the Liuli Daoist Hall across the lake.

It is said to be a temple, it is essentially a cave, but this cave may have been built with the participation of Grunado, and the inside is very neat and spacious, almost like a temple built by man, so it is called a temple.

Legend has it that this is the place where the life of all the spirits in the Hoenn region originates, and the place where life ends is the mountain of the gods.

Of course, the source of such legends is not reliable, and even every region has similar legends.

The Temple of Awakening is a place that has been guarded by the people of Liuli for generations, and it is a place that is forbidden for tourists to visit.

In the past, a large number of elven guards may have been required, but in modern times, it is not so rigid, and Michaeli has set up a relatively modern and strict access control at the entrance, and a few elves can take turns to be on duty.

After all, there is nothing valuable in the Awakening Temple that is worth stealing, and guarding it to the dead is tantamount to flattering the blind and throwing it to the blind.

As Mikkeli crosses the curfew, Xia Chen enters the place where Grundo or Gaioca awakens in the game's plot -

Why do you say "or", because the awakened beast will change depending on the game version, and the other will awaken in the underwater cave southeast of Liuli Island.

I don't know what the real world will be like.

After entering the Awakening Temple, Xia Chen released Gu Leton.

He wondered if the fellow legendary elf, a guy whose name and color were closer to Groudador, could have some reference.

The two of them walked slowly towards the cave in a dragon, paying attention to the details in the cave.

…………

The cavern is very dark, and it needs to be illuminated by the fire energy energy actively released by the old Leton to see the internal structure.

As soon as you enter the temple, there is a fairly spacious corridor, about four or five meters wide and high.

What is more peculiar is that there are some more abstract patterns on the wall, similar to murals, Xia Chen can only vaguely see that Hoenn is creating land and sea, and the appearance of fighting in the back, and the other contents are more difficult to identify.

Mikeli explained on the side: "The creator of these murals is unknown, anyway, when our people of the glass were in charge of guarding this place, they already existed, and the content of the murals should be the creation of the two gods, and then there was a fight for natural energy, and then the sky sat down to stop it." ”

Xia Chen nodded clearly, then looked at the big red lizard beside him and asked, "Soleton, what do you think?" ”

Gu Leton, who was also observing the mural, glanced at it and replied, "I see with my eyes." ”

Xia Chen shook his head.

Tsk, stinky lizard, not cooperative at all.

Keep moving forward.

After hundreds of steps, the road is about to end, and behind it is the legendary Temple of Awakening.

However, Xia Chen did not rush in, but looked at the mural on the wall at the end of the corridor.

On the left, on the right, and on the top, there is a lifelike mural of an elve—at least compared to the abstract works just now.

And these three elves are none other than the Hoenn Three Fools, to be precise, the original return, and the Mega evolution of the Hoenn Three Fools!

Touching the iconic "Ω" pattern on the arm of the original return to Groudor on the mural, Xia Chen turned to look at Mikoli and asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

Mikeli hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is a secret passed down from generation to generation in our family, it is rumored that this is the beginning of the two elves, and it is also the most powerful, and then the natural energy weakened, and the two elves could not maintain such a large body and strong strength, and degenerated into the current impression of people." ”

"Legend has it that they fight because of this, as long as the land or sea is large enough, the natural energy provided to them by the earth and sea is enough to bring them back and maintain their heyday."

After a pause, he looked up at the Super Burning Sky Seat above his head and continued, "As for the Burning Sky Seat, I don't know, maybe those Meteor People know." ”

"I see."

Xia Chen muttered and nodded, this information was not bad from the impression he had in his memory of that world, and it also made a reasonable supplement to the battle between the two fools.

After taking a few photos to keep, they continued onwards and entered the true inner area of the Temple of Awakening.

…………

Compared with the inside of the cave, the corridor outside is completely cramped.

Although it is a natural formation, it is magnificent and grandiose, and it can fully afford the word temple.

The height of several tens of meters from the top of the cave explains why the temple looks like a small hill from the outside.

The two huge, lifelike stone carvings of Groudor and Gaioca standing tall made Xia Chen wonder if their true deities were sealed in the statues.

Facing Xia Chen's worries, Mikeli explained with a smile: "No, these two stone sculptures were built by my ancestors, they are both great artists, if you can really resurrect the two legendary elves from the statues, it is a god." ”

Only then did Xia Chen put aside his doubts and took a closer look at the two statues.

The statue's appearance is that of a normal Groud, not its original return appearance.

It's very high.,It's more than 20 meters at a glance.,I don't know if it's a 1:1 scale replica.,Anyway, it's much higher than the few meters written in the game.。

To be reasonable, the description of the legendary elves in the illustrated book is really outrageous, and the Reggie Lock, who can drag the continent, is only less than four meters.

The same is true of Groud, who created the earth, only three or four meters, and even if the original is returned, it is only five meters.

This is still a hairy land, huh?

If you are really pulled somewhere by Hupal, you can't walk back - five meters. He had just entered the sea and had to drown after walking a few steps.

Xia Chen's imagination of this world Gurado should be the appearance of a giant beast, at least as tall as the monster in Ultraman.

Or that it's not bad to have the ability of Ipeltar to change size and size at will.

Thinking so, Xia Chen looked at Gu Lerton again and asked, "Will you get bigger?" ”

So this time Loton replied seriously, "It used to be possible, but now it can't." ”

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask.

After circling around the two statues twice and finding nothing unusual, Xia Chen and Mikoli sat down to drink water and rest.

Xia Chen suddenly asked: "Actually, I've always had a doubt, why do you Liuli people worship and protect two legendary elves who have a bad relationship at the same time?" Aren't you afraid that both sides will not please you? ”

This kind of behavior is almost outrageous from reciting Amitabha Buddha on the one hand and reciting the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable on the other side - the intensity of the dispute between the Gugai and the Buddha's path is not much less intense.

Mikoli smiled and replied, "I asked my father this question when I was very young, and he asked me rhetorically, what would the world be like if there was only one of Groudor and Gaioca, or if one of them really defeated the other?" ”

Xia Chen was a little impressed and said, "Your ancestor is really a man of great wisdom. ”

He then asked, "But. With this in mind, why don't you go to the Lie Empty Seat, after all, it is the one who has the balance between the two. ”

Michaeli gave him a strange look, "What you're looking for, is it the Meteor Folks?" ”

Xia Chen: "."

This makes a lot of sense, you two just merge and forget it.

…………

According to Mikoli, the people of Ruri come to the shrine every December to worship the Hoenn Twin Fools and pray for good weather in the coming year.

It's a bit superstitious, but it's a tradition after all, and it's only once a year, so Mikeli doesn't have much of an aversion.

Ten years have passed since he inherited the name of "People of Glass" from his father, who went out to create art, and the festival has been held for ten years.

"Speaking of which, there have really never been very serious natural disasters in the history of Hoen, and the alliance should award an award to the people of our glass."

Mikoli joked.

Xia Chen asked: "Then is there a lot of this kind of hot weather in the west this year?" ”

"I don't know, but for as long as I can remember, I don't seem to have been." ”

Xia Chen nodded thoughtfully.

The Temple of Awakening is not small, but it is not big, except for the two statues and the altar, there is nothing left.

After walking around, Xia Chen and Gu Letun didn't find any valuable information clues, so they were inevitably a little discouraged.

One man and one dragon were ready to go home empty-handed, but Mikeli suddenly made a small discovery.

"Xia Chen, come and see this."

Mikoli stood by the altar in front of the statue and waved his hand in Xia Chen's direction.

Xia Chen and Gu Lerton hurried over.

Mikoli pointed to a conspicuous crack on the altar that was the width of a finger, and said, "I'm pretty sure that when I came here to worship more than half a year ago, there was no such crack. ”

Xia Chen nodded, released the power of the waveguide and probed inward, and found that part of the inside of the altar was hollow.

Why is it hollow? What's hidden inside?

Putting aside his doubts for a moment, he stared deep into the depths and found a round bead at the bottom?

Xia Chen's heart shook, judging from the degree of regularity, ordinary stones in nature would not be so regular and round.

So, could this be the indigo orb or vermilion orb that Team Lava and Team Ocean are looking for?

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? ”

Mikeli, who was on the side, looked at Xia Chen's shocked expression and hurriedly asked.

Xia Chen nodded, looking puzzled, "Do you know what is hidden here?" ”

Mikoli shook his head in confusion, and the curiosity in his heart was even greater.

Xia Chen took out the Poke Ball and released the fairy cloth, and said to her: "Fairy cloth, there is something hidden at the bottom of this crack, you can see if you can take it out with silk." ”

"Boo!"

Senbu nodded, and poked a piece of silk through the gap.

…………

Less.

Xianbu, who had been fumbling for a while, said excitedly: "Bu Tea! (I touched it!) ）”

Although Silk didn't have the ability to probe like the power of the waveguide, the hollow space in the altar was so large that she quickly found the orb.

Xia Chen's face was overjoyed, "It's great, let's see if you can take it out?" ”

The silk slowly retracted, getting shorter and shorter, and at the last moment, Xianbu said embarrassedly: "Bu Thao. (I seem to be stuck.)"

Xia Chen looked down, but saw that the width of the crack was much thinner than the orb wrapped in the fairy cloth, and the fairy cloth couldn't take it out.

If you want to take it out, I'm afraid you have to grow this crack.

Xia Chen silently looked at Mi Keli beside him, and the meaning was self-evident.

This is the place where their glazed people have guarded the sacrifice for generations, and they must have asked for his opinion before starting construction.

Mikoli shrugged helplessly, "The cracks are all cracked, and it doesn't matter if the cracks are big or small." ”

Xia Chen patted Mikeli's shoulder and said gratefully: "I don't know if the Hoenn Alliance will give you an award, I will definitely make you a pennant when this matter is over." ”

Mikoli asked curiously, "Pennant?" What is that? ”

Xia Chen beckoned Gu Lerton to start work, and explained simply: "Donghuang characteristics, there will probably be slogans such as [thank the people for being a good hall owner, helping others and enjoying the new fashion], which can be hung in the dazzling place of your hall hall to commend your noble character." ”

Michaeli nodded suddenly, although it sounded a little strange, he believed in the aesthetics of the champion of the Gorgeous Competition, and said with great interest: "Yes, it just so happens that there is some space next to the "Birth of Menas" painted by the ancestors on the wall of the hall, and it is quite appropriate to hang it there." ”

Xia Chen nodded happily, "That word is a certainty." ”

As the two chatted, Ledon's claws fell, and the sharp claws cut the crack to just the size of the orb in and out, and Senbu was able to take it out.

Because of the fact that it had just been completely wrapped in satin, the color of the orb did not appear, so Xia Chen felt a sense of surprise at opening the blind box at this moment.

Will it be red, or will it be blue?

He watched nervously and curiously as the silk gradually unfolded by the fairy cloth.

Suddenly, a brilliant green light shone in the darkness.

Xia Chen was slightly stunned, this is a grass green orb?
