Chapter 244: The King's Promise (4k)
"No, this may be a little too disrespectful to the Lei Crown King......
Naoki hurriedly shook his head, throwing the presumptuous thought out of his head.
However, his gaze couldn't help but focus on the huge dark green bud that looked like a crown on the top of the head of the Thunder Crown King.
Beneath the huge crown is a petite and slender body like a rabbit.
The Thunder Crown King has a pair of majestic blue eyes, with a petite blue nose and mouth underneath the eyes.
Behind him was a pair of cloak-like wings, and it had a pair of wings, and underneath the wings were his gray-white body and long, pure white legs.
The Thunder Crown King just floated quietly above the snow, staring at this side.
It uttered a cry from its mouth that humans could not understand:
"Lei Guan...... Moo......"
Naoki: "? ”
At this time, an uncle wearing a plush hat and preparing to work in the field came over with a hoe.
He saw Naoki and Gu Leton standing here in a daze, and was just about to come over to ask where this guy came from, when he saw a mysterious glowing Pokémon floating on the snow not far away.
The uncle's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay...... What a big head! ”
Naoki: "......"
Good fellow, someone has said what is in his heart!
The Thundercrown King was also attracted by the sudden appearance of the human.
A blue light flashed in his eyes, and then his entire body flashed in front of the middle-aged uncle.
Before the uncle could react, he felt that his body was out of control, his consciousness gradually became blurred, his feet gradually lifted off the ground, and his body was shrouded in the same faint light as the Lei Guanwang.
The Lei Guanwang floated beside this human, and then turned his head to look at his little believer, and used his spiritual power to manipulate the human body's body and said:
"My believer, you are finally here, Lone has been waiting for you here for a long time."
Naoki looked at the poor uncle who was controlled by the Lei Guan King as a microphone, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, we can have a better way to communicate." ”
"Oh?" A trace of doubt flashed in the Lei Guanwang's eyes.
Naoki pulled out a large bag of translated melon seed cakes from his backpack.
The Thunder Crown's gaze was drawn to it, and he asked, "What is that?" ”
Naoki explained, "A little human food with magical effects attached, and after eating it, you can communicate with Pokémon. ”
The Thunder Crown King had never heard of such a thing.
In his slightly curious and majestic gaze, Naoki clicked several pieces and said, "Okay, now I can understand you." ”
Hearing this, Lei Guanwang canceled the manipulation of the uncle.
Perhaps not wanting the humans to find out that they had visited this place, the Rei Crown King used teleportation to leave a message for Naoki before disappearing.
"Lone will be waiting for you on the cliff over there."
The words fell, and the Lei Guanwang disappeared from the spot.
The uncle who had released control slowly landed, he looked around blankly, and scratched the back of his head with his hand:
"What happened? How could I be here, hiss...... It's so cold! Alas, no, who are you? How could it be in the village? Could it be that he is a tourist from out of town? ”
Naoki casually cooperated: "That's right, I'm here to observe the Pokémon ecology on the crown snowfield." ”
The uncle's face was abrupt: "I see! ”
With that, the man picked up his hoe and left.
Naoki looked at the green bird on his shoulder and said, "Go back first, we're going to do something." ”
It had just snowed, and the temperature outside was even colder than when it snowed, and the green bird cowered in its fluffy feathers and nodded pitifully.
"Chirp!" (I'm leaving, you have to be careful!) Don't get lost again! )
Naoki smiled and nodded, "Don't worry!" ”
Only then did the green bird turn around and fly in the direction of home.
After watching its figure leave, Naoki rode to the cliff that the Thundercrown King pointed to.
By the time they got there, the Thundercrown King was already there.
He was floating on the snow-covered cliffs, overlooking the village of Frozen below, like a king standing on a castle and watching his people.
Hearing the voice, Lei Guanwang turned around.
He looked at the little believer who was so devout to Him and thanked Him solemnly:
"Your heart, Lone has already felt it, and everything you have done for Lone on that land, Lone has seen it all."
Hearing this, Naoki was a little embarrassed, as if his original purpose was only for the two horses of the Lei Crown King?
But at such times, saying such things is undoubtedly ruining the atmosphere.
Therefore, Naoki said solemnly, "This is what I should do, and the people of the Padia region are grateful for your strength. ”
Thinking of the group of people who made statues for Him and set up festivals to give thanks, the Thunder Crown King couldn't help but have a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Its voice became soft: "Lonely knows everything...... It is because of your presence that Lone has been able to regain some of his strength. ”
Only, in contrast, His people are a completely different picture.
Although he doesn't know what's going on in the outside world, the Reicrown King is able to feel that he is losing his faith in humanity by weakening his power.
At this, the former king of Galel felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Visions of the past came to His mind.
At that time, the region of Galel under His rule was so prosperous, with abundant crops and flowers.
The humans and Pokémon who live in this land regard him as a king, and he also considers this group of creatures his own people.
Humans and Pokémon love their king, build temples for him, pay tribute, and as king, he will bring as much bounty to his people as possible.
Thinking of this, the Thundercrown King was a little saddened, and he still didn't want to believe that his people had forgotten about him.
The Thunder Crown King turned to look at Naoki, "Lonely Believer! I want to ask you for one thing! ”
Naoki could sense that the current Lei Guan King was sad, and he nodded, "You say." ”
King Lei Guanwang turned his gaze to the human village below, "Lonely, I want you to go there and help Lone inquire about it, and see if they still remember Lone." ”
"Sure enough, King Lei Guan still cares about this matter......" Naoki thought to himself.
He answered and agreed to the request of the Thunder Crown.
"Thank you very much," said the Thunder Crown King, looking at him, "Lone will be waiting for you here." ”
Naoki nodded silently, and then rode to the frozen village below.
On the way, Lerton frowned and asked in some confusion: "............Ahh )
Naoki could probably understand the feeling of the Lei Guanwang, and he nodded:
"The Thunder Crown King must be grieving, right? It's like I've been living with you, and then we've been separated because of something, and when we meet again, you find out that I don't remember you......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Loton hurriedly said, "Ahh (Not separated!) )
Naoki was slightly stunned, then smiled and touched its head: "I know it's not separated, I'm just giving an example, think about it, will you be sad at that time?" ”
So Leton thought about it carefully, and then hung his head: "Ahh............h )
But then, it said in earnest: "Ahh (I'll never forget Naoki!) )
"I'll never forget you either." Naoki gently touched the head of the old Leton, and then continued: "Isn't it easy to understand that the people of the Thunder Crown King are compared to me, and the Thunder Crown King is compared to you?" ”
So Lethon's mind returned to this matter, it thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Ahh (I see!) The Crown King will be coming home with us! )
Naoki thinks that Loton wants the forgotten Thunder Crown King to return to the ranch with them, "It depends on the Thunder Crown's own intentions." ”
At this time, Loton landed in the village of Frozen Solidification.
Naoki fixes his gaze on the villagers wandering around the village, pretending to be a tourist from out of town, and asks them about the Rei Crown King.
The first villager uncle was full of doubts: "Lei Guanwang? What is that? ”
Naoki: "......"
After carefully recalling it, the second grandmother said: "When I was a child, I seem to have heard my grandmother tell this story, saying that if a child does not eat well, he will be robbed of his body and soul by the king, and he will never be able to return home." ”
Naoki: "This is something that ghost-type Pokémon only do, right?" ”
The third white-haired old man with a pair of glasses said, "Lei Guanwang? Of course you know it! The village also relies on it to attract tourists! In this way, the B&B and shops in the village can make a lot of money! ”
"What? You ask me how I know, it's because I'm the head of this village! I've been listening to the legends of the Reiguan since I was a few years old, and I still have a storybook at home that tells these stories! ”
Naoki: "......"
With these replies, he returned to the Crown King.
After listening to Naoki's relay, a hint of sadness appeared on the face of the Lei Guanwang.
He didn't speak immediately, but just stood in the snow and looked down at his kingdom, then closed his eyes and let out a sigh.
It took a long time for the Thundercrown King to open his eyes, and he regained his previous majestic posture.
"It seems that they don't remember the existence of Lone, and humans have long forgotten the bond they have established with Lone......"
Naoki didn't know how to comfort him, so he said as if he were appeasing his own Pokémon, "The village chief still remembers you." ”
Hearing the comfort in his tone, Lei Guanwang shook his head, indicating that he was fine:
"It doesn't matter, how can Lone lament for this, Lone is the king of abundance! Not superficial to the point of counting on humans! ”
"Lone can no longer rely on human faith to regain his strength, and if Lone's beloved horse is by his side, the situation may be better."
As he spoke, King Lei Guan looked at Naoki on the side.
Naoki said in his heart: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
King Lei Crown continued: "Lone used to ride a mount with ease, a four-legged Pokémon, and the statue of the village also rode it under Lone's crotch, a long time ago, they were partners with Lone in the mountains, but since Lone's strength weakened and they parted ways, Lone has no way of knowing where they are. ”
"Lone wants to ask you again, if you can help Lone find two love horses, Lone will fulfill one of your wishes, no matter what that wish is, as long as Lone can do it, Lone will definitely fulfill it for you." Lei Guanwang seriously promised.
Naoki had long expected that the Lei Crown King would say this.
As in the game, the Thunder Crown King is in dire need of help right now.
In the plot, when the player helps the Lei Guanwang find his beloved horse, he can start to accept the Lei Guanwang.
If he helps King Leiguan retrieve the Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse, would King Leiguan leave his realm with the two horses and travel with him to the region of Pardea?
Naoki looked up, his gaze meeting that of the Lace Crown.
"The crown is so big." Naoki couldn't help but have this thought in his heart again.
Then, he thought about the plot about the Lei Crown King.
It's not difficult to retrieve the ghost horse and the snowstorm horse, as long as you have two radish seeds that the horses love to eat, and let the Thunder Crown King ripen them with strength, those two horses will be attracted to them.
In addition to this, it is necessary to prepare the reins that will allow the king of Leiguan to merge with the two horses, so that he can tame the two horses.
The reins are not an ordinary hemp rope either, but are woven from layers of Radiant Flowers and MaPo Kémon's mane.
Long ago in ancient times, it was made a special offering to the king by his people to thank him for the abundant harvest.
After a short thought, Naoki spoke, "I promise you." ”
Lei Guanwang was grateful and touched in his heart: "Then Lone will always be waiting for you here, although Lone's strength has not fully recovered, but if you need Lone's help, you can come here to find Lone." ”
Naoki smiled and nodded, "I see." ”
He remembered that the village chief had just said that he had a book at home that recorded the legend of the Lei Crown King, and decided to visit the village chief of Frozen Ning Village first.
Therefore, Naoki said goodbye to King Lei Guan and rode out of the place.
Snowflakes rose in the sky, and the Thunder Crown King stood in the snow and watched them leave.
His little believers are such good people. King Lei Guanwang thought to himself.
He silently watched the back of the little believer, and a thought flashed through his mind - maybe he could reconnect with a human like the little believer.
This time, he didn't want to be king again.

Frozen Village.
When the old village chief heard Naoki's intentions, he took him back to his home.
"O King of Plenty? It's been a long time since I've heard that name, if only He existed. The village chief said: "The land here is getting poorer and poorer, and it is difficult for crops to grow in it. ”
Naoki was a little confused: "It stands to reason that King Leiguan ruled the Galar region in ancient times, why do you rarely hear legends about him now?" ”
The village chief looked at the tourist, shook his head, and said, "Maybe it's because it's just a legend made up by someone else, right?" ”
"Just as some legends say that we humans were created by God, if the King of Fertility really exists, why hasn't He appeared for so long?"
Naoki: "......" probably means that if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it?
"When I was a child, my history teacher told me that the Galel region had always been ruled by the royal family, and they protected the Galel region from the dangers of the night. ”
"It is said that a long, long time ago, there was an outbreak in the Galel region, when two heroes used the sword and shield of legend to drive away the night and save the Galel region."
"If the Thundercrown King really exists, he should come out to protect his people, right?"
Speaking of this, the old village chief pointed to the bookshelf in the living room.
"Alright, the book about the King of Fertility is on the bottom layer, you can find it for yourself!"
