Snow began to fall in the sky, and the white snowflakes covered the sky, blurring the distant scene.

The wind and snow were pervasive, and the visibility was less than ten meters, and Naoki and Gu Letun didn't have long to walk before they were possessed by Emperor Dan and lost in this wind and snow.

"Where is the East, Where is the West......"

Naoki kept rubbing his hands, trying to discern the direction by looking at the position of the sun.

However, in this weather, the whole sky is gray, not to mention the sun, and even the road ahead cannot be seen clearly.

Naoki suddenly felt that his head was big for a while, and the temperature around him was still so low.

He, who has been living in a warm and humid environment, couldn't stand it for a long time after he arrived here, how did the Lei Guanwang live here?

"Ahh......h

So Leton shook the snow off his head vigorously, and then looked at Naoki worriedly, as if asking him what to do next.

The cold whimpered and swept across the valley, and Naoki glanced at the snow-drenched road ahead, and said to Guleton:

"We may now have strayed from the path we were supposed to follow."

"Ahh

"It can't go on like this." Naoki shook his head and said, if he continues to walk, Leton will be fine, he is likely to have an accident because he can't stand the environment here.

After a brief moment of thought, Naoki set his gaze on the steep cliffs that stretched not far away.

"Go over there, walk along the mountain, see if you can find a cave first, and wait for the snow to stop before you go!"

"Ahh

The two of them immediately ran quickly to the bottom of the cliff, and began to explore against the cold cliff.

Perhaps they had eaten a few lucky puddings when they came, but it wasn't long before Le Ton found a snow-covered cave in front of him.

So Leton's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly ran over, standing at the entrance of the cave and waiting for Naoki to come.

Naoki also quickly followed, and he cautiously looked inside, but found no trace of other Pokémon, and then walked in with Soleton.

The cave wasn't deep, there was nothing in it, it didn't look like a Pokémon's lair, it looked like a natural cave.

It snowed heavily outside the cave, and occasionally a cold swept in.

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, shaking the snow off his body, then quickly took out an improvised campfire stand and pot from his travel backpack and set it up, and poured a small bag of charcoal underneath it and lit it.

Then, with his frozen fingers, Naoki took out two bottles of drinking water and a bag of noodles from his bag.

Therefore, Lerton sat in the outer position, and shielded Naoki from the wind and snow with his huge body.

Naoki waited for the water to boil and roasted the fire to keep warm, and he said to Guleton, "Just wait a little longer." ”

"Ahh

Soon, the water boiled.

Naoki poured the noodles into it, then put the spice he had brought with him, and after waiting for a few minutes, a scent spread out of it.

"That's it!"

Naoki took out two bowls, evenly served the noodles, poured the soup, and a simple hot noodle soup was made.

Naoki looked down, and the effect of the hot noodle soup came to his mind.

[Hot noodle soup (B-): A simple dish, but a good choice to warm your stomach on a cold winter day.]

Cooking Effect: Cold Resistant Protection Lv2, which has a cold-resistant effect that can withstand severe cold, and warms up after drinking it, lasting 2 hours.

Rating: Slightly. ]

"2 hours ......"

Although the effect of hot noodle soup is reduced by the simple ingredients and rough cooking techniques, two hours is already good.

Naoki looked up, so Loton was already drinking with his head up.

He also quickly finished the small bowl of noodle soup, feeling his body gradually becoming warmer, Naoki couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

"It's finally not that cold."

The wind and snow outside have no effect on them now.

Naoki wanted to take this opportunity to explore outside, and maybe he could find the location of Frozen Village.

But he thought about it carefully, and he didn't know how long the snow would last, and the cold protection effect of hot noodle soup was only 2 hours.

If the effect is gone halfway through, and they haven't found the frozen condensation village, it won't be good.

After some deliberation, Naoki decided to stay here and wait for the snow to stop.

He sat with him by the fire and roasted it.

As the minutes ticked by, the sky outside was always gray, making it impossible for Naoki to tell if it was noon or evening.

He can only tell how long time has passed by the duration of the hot noodle soup.

At the end of the first round of hot noodle soup, Naoki recooked two more bowls of noodles.

This time, he put in enough ingredients and cooked very carefully, and the effect of the cooking increased from lv2 to lv3, and the duration increased from two hours to six hours.

The snow outside hasn't stopped.

"Looks like we're going to have to spend the night here tonight!" Naoki sighed helplessly.

"Ahh

And at this moment, there was a sudden rustle of footsteps in the heavy snow outside.

Naoki turned his head and saw an old man who had wrapped himself tightly like a big bear and walked briskly from the outside to the mouth of the cave with a lantern.

The old man's lantern illuminates the dimly lit cave, and at a glance you can see the humans and Pokémon inside.

He hurriedly walked into the cave and draped the down coat he was carrying on Naoki's bewildered expression.

"You're from out of town, aren't you?" The old man asked.

So Leton tilted his head in confusion.

Naoki was also a little confused, he nodded and asked, "Are you?" ”

"As soon as you look at it, you know that it's from other places, it's very dangerous here to wear so little here, even if it's hiding in a cave, it's not reliable, you're likely to freeze to death!"

The old man first said with a solemn expression, and then explained his identity:

"I am a villager of Frozen Village, a few hours ago my Squeak found you lost in the wind and snow in the mountains, and I specially went back to the village to call someone to come to help."

As he spoke, the old man tilted his head to look over his shoulder.

Naoki then noticed that there was a petite bird Pokémon with a sky-blue body and fluffy feathers like cotton.

Hearing the owner's words, the green cotton bird named Squeak flapped its wings twice happily.

Seeing this scene, Naoki finally understood what was going on.

This old man and the green bird are specially here to rescue them who are lost in the wind and snow!

Although they didn't need help, at least Naoki was grateful, "Thank you very much, Aomiao. ”

"Chirp!"

The green bird jumped twice lively.

Old man: "Come back to the village with me!" When the snow stops, the temperature here will get colder, and it will be very dangerous! ”

"Thank you very much!"

Just as they were going to Frozen Village, Naoki agreed.

He packed up the contents of the cave and followed the old man with him.

Led by a green bird flying in mid-air, this time they finally didn't get lost again, and after passing through the heavy snow, Naoki saw a small village built in the middle of the ice and snow in a quiet valley.

"This is Frozen Village!" The old man on the side grinned: "Although I don't know where you're going, you can rest here before continuing to set off." ”

Naoki nodded, "Thank you very much, what should I call you?" ”

Old man: "Just call me Ryan, let's go, take your Pokémon, go to my place and have a good rest!" ”

Ryan brings Naoki and Oldton back to his home and lets them sit in front of the fireplace to warm themselves.

Naoki's heart was slightly moved, not to mention, the people here are quite good.

At this moment, an old woman with silver hair came over with two cups of steaming tea.

Her smile was kind: "Let's drink some hot tea to warm up first!" ”

"Thank you!"

Naoki stretched out his hand to take it, and it just so happened that the duration of the hot noodle soup was coming to an end at this time, but because of the fireplace in front of him, coupled with this cup of hot tea, it did not make him feel cold, but warm.

The old woman said kindly, "My husband is a very zealous old man, and he often goes to the mountains to help lost travelers like you. ”

Naoki nodded slightly, "Mr. Ryan is a very good person. ”

At this time, the green bird landed on the windowsill on the side and looked at this side with curiosity.

Naoki noticed the scene.

The old woman followed his gaze and said with a smile, "This green bird was also rescued by the old man from the mountains, and at that time its wings were injured and fell in the snow, and the poor little one's body was almost frozen. ”

"The old man rescued him, and we were going to release it when it was healed, but the little creature was reluctant to leave."

"Since then, it has been living with us, helping the old man rescue lost travelers from the mountains."

The green bird seemed to hear the old woman talking about herself, and it immediately flew up happily and landed in the old woman's arms, making a light and pleasant "chirping" sound from its mouth.

At this moment, Ryan changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

After changing his clothes, he immediately changed from a big bear to a lean, capable, and energetic little old man.

It was still snowing heavily, and Naoki couldn't go out, so a few people sat in the house and chatted.

When he learned that he was coming from the Padia region, Ryan showed a very surprised expression: "The Padia region? That's a long way away! ”

"Fortunately, you can get there in three days by steamer, but if you want to say far, I think the Guandu area is far away." Naoki smiled.

Ryan nodded, he looked at Naoki's side, although he was old and a little unable to keep up with the current era, he still understood the profession of trainer.

Therefore, he asked, "Yes, you have come to travel to the Galel region, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Ryan's face couldn't help but show a look of confusion.

Shouldn't you travel to the big cities in the north when you travel to the Galel region? How did you come to this remote and small place in Frozen Village?

Naoki saw his doubts and explained, "Actually, I'm not here to travel, the reason why I came to the Crown Snow Field is because I'm looking for the legendary Pokémon, the King of Abundance. ”

"What? What happened to the King of Plenty? Ryan thought for a moment, and couldn't remember clearly: "I remember that it seems to be called Lei Guanyang?" Or is it called Regantang? ”

Naoki: "...... It's the Lei Guan, right? ”

Ryan touched the back of his head a little embarrassed: "It turned out to be called Lei Guanwang?" ”

The old woman on the side, Ryan's wife looked at such a husband with some helplessness.

She recalled it carefully and said, "The King of Abundance...... I used to believe that it was true, and when I was a child, my grandmother told me a story about how if I was naughty in the fields, I would be robbed of my body by the king, but now that I think about it, it was just to scare children, right? ”

Sure enough......

Although some people in Frozen Freezing Village had heard of the King of Abundance, the Leiguan King, they did not believe that he was real, and only thought that it was a legend.

Not to mention faith.

And this is undoubtedly fatal for the Lei Guanwang, who uses faith as the source of strength.

Without faith, the power of the Thundercrown King weakened, and even the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Pony abandoned him......

And is it the Galel royal clan who took the credit for Cang Xiang and Zangmarant in repelling the night?

Naoki fell into deep thought.

About this, the game does not elaborate.

But judging from what the Galel royal family did, it is very likely that in order to maintain their rule and maintain their image in the hearts of the people, they even took away the merit of the Thunder Crown King.

With the change of years and the change of kingdoms, the Lei Guan King has also disappeared in people's hearts and in the river of history.

The King of Galar has been forgotten by his people.

The loss of faith weakened the Thundercrown King's power, and the Spirit Pony and the Snowstorm Horse abandoned him.

Naoki's heart is very complicated.

At this time, the snow outside the house stopped.

Ryan and his wife were pleasantly surprised: "It's finally stopped! ”

Then, Ryan looked at Naoki and said to him, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay in the village for a while longer, the snow scene here in Frozen Village is also very worth watching." ”

The old woman on the side also said, "In the meantime, you can stay with us!" Usually there are only two people, me and the old man, but one more guest will be more lively! ”

"Thank you very much." Naoki thanked him.

The green bird chirped happily as it landed on his shoulder.

Ryan smiled and said, "Let Squeak take you on a tour of the village!" ”

Naoki looked at the green bird and said to it with a smile, "Thank you too." ”

"Chirp~!"

The green bird let out a cry of joy.

Naoki walked out the door with Soleton and wandered around the small village that stood above the snowy fields.

Overall, the village is not large, with only about 20 households.

In the center of the village there are several fields of farmland, in which some hardy crops are grown.

Snow fell on the roads that stretched in all directions, connecting the houses to each other.

Perhaps because the snow had stopped, people walked out of their houses, and in the blink of an eye, the village came alive after a long silence.

The farmer pulling the cart with an ivory pig was piled with a load of goods.

Green birds that land on the fence of a farmland, and geometric snowflakes that sway their bodies in mid-air.

It's hard to imagine that there is such a vibrant scene in this bitterly cold place.

At this moment, the green bird suddenly left his shoulder, flew towards the farmland, and landed on a high bulging snow bag.

The green bird jumped.

Naoki was a little surprised, he suddenly thought of one of the things in the game, he stepped forward and dusted off the snow on it, and then he saw a broken stone statue below.

"Sure enough......"

Naoki was just about to say something, but the old Leton on the side turned his gaze into the distance.

"Ahh

Naoki looked up and looked above the statue, not far away, under a snow-covered pine tree, and saw a mysterious Pokémon that was small, elegant, and majestic.

Naoki was slightly stunned, and the two looked at each other across a vast white snowfield.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.

Is that...... Lei Guanwang!

It's just that, looking at such a bud crown king, an inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in Naoki's heart.

"What a big head!!"
