Chapter 264: Dyeing Fruit, World Tree (5k)

The next morning, with the arrival of dawn, the ranch ushered in a new day.

The first thing Naoki did when he got up was to look for the Thundercrown King and see where he slept last night.

Living room...... No.

Second floor...... No.

Kitchen...... Nor did it.

Naoki searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he returned to the living room.

On the coffee table, the Wonder Pot and the Lai Grief Tea who had a tea party all night last night were dozing off on it, and the motorcycle lizard was also lying drowsy in front of the fireplace.

Even my brother's love for the waiter is also a lack of spirit.

Seeing this, Naoki said helplessly: "If you are sleepy, go sleep for a while, leave the work in the ranch to me today!" ”

The elder brother shook his head vigorously to sober himself up, and hurriedly said, "Love! ”

It can keep going!

Let's go! Naoki nodded, and turned to take a look at the cellar below, where there was still no sign of the Thunder Crown.

Looks like the Lei Guanwang should have spent the night outside last night.

After a moment's thought, Naoki prepared to go outside and have a look.

But when he returned to the living room, he saw his brother's butler dozing off there.

My sister covered her mouth and snickered.

Naoki: "......"

It just so happened that Ba Da Butterfly landed in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to the living room.

Naoki commanded: "Ba Da Butterfly, use hypnotic powder on my brother's caretaker!" ”

"Wooh?!"

Ba Da Butterfly was suddenly startled, and after making sure that Naoki was not joking, she flew to the sleepy brother and fanned him out of the sparkling powder that could make people sleep.

Soon, the elder brother fell asleep.

"Alright, sister, send your brother upstairs to rest!" Naoki let out a long sigh of relief.

"Love~"

The younger sister agreed happily, and used her superpower to control her brother and send it back to the room.

Babu Tupa, Frost Milk Fairy, and Ice Eevee are also sleeping.

Naoki didn't bother them, and turned around and took Guleton to the outside of the ranch.

Although it hasn't snowed yet this season, the temperature has dropped below 10 degrees, and in this environment, some Pokémon who are afraid of cold rarely leave their nests to play outside.

As soon as Naoki and Soleton went out, they saw Lei Guanwang stroking his beloved horse on a spacious meadow.

Hearing the movement, the Thunder Crown King turned around and looked at his little believer gently, "Moo Crown! ”

Naoki: "......"

I almost forgot that he had finished eating the translated melon seed cake, and now he could no longer understand Lei Guanwang's speech.

"I still have sunflowers harvested in autumn at home, and I will have to make another batch of translated melon seed cakes later." Naoki felt a little troubled in his heart: "It's a pity that I can't make a meal that can communicate directly with Pokémon." ”

The power that allows humans to communicate with Pokémon is rare in this world.

The power of waveguides, the power of Tokiwa, and the power of super-restraint......

And the quality of the food with this effect must be very high, and he is afraid that he will not be able to make it now.

After a moment of thought, Naoki greeted the Lei Guanwang: "Good morning! How was your rest last night? ”

Lei Guanwang bowed slightly: "Crown!" ”

The grumpy snowstorm horses beside him were dissatisfied, and they snorted twice with their hooves to dig the dirt on the ground.

Even if there is no need to translate, Naoki can see the meaning of the snowstorm horse.

It was hungry and wanted to eat the ice radish that grew on the Crown Snow Field.

The ghost horse on the side didn't react, it stood still silent, its eyes quiet.

Seeing this, Naoki brought a few tree fruits and put them in front of the two horses.

I saw that they first lowered their heads and sniffed, and then they were a little absent-minded, but perhaps they were hungry, and they finally lowered their heads and ate.

"Looks like the ghost horse and the snowstorm don't like to eat ordinary tree fruits...... naoki thought to himself.

In this case, the plan to create special farmland will have to be put forward.

"Wait for me for a while, I'm going to milk and feed the mount goats, and when I'm done, I'll come and plant turnips for you." Naoki said to the two horses.

At this time, the snowstorm horse finally became honest, lowered his head and ate the tree fruit without knowing the taste.

Naoki nodded at the Thunder Crown, and then took the milk bucket with Oldton and went to the sheepfold where the goats were mounted.

In the sheepfold, the three mounted goats were already waiting there in good spirits.

They obediently leaned down to let Naoki milk the cows, and then went to eat their favorite grass dumplings.

Not far away, the Lei Guanwang looked at this scene.

He had a lot to say about the three sheep Pokémon and the mysterious tree.

But His little believers don't seem to be able to understand His words right now......

The Lei Guanwang's eyes revealed incomprehension.

Before he came, he thought it was just an ordinary pasture, but now it seems that it is not what he thought.

Everything here is full of secrets.

After milking the three sheep, Naoki went to the chicken coop again to pick up the eggs laid by the hens last night.

Then, he went to the Pokémon hut with Gu Leton to carry the moo milk collected by the big milk tanks with automatic milking machines to the warehouse, put it together with the goat's milk, and waited for Zach to come and collect it in the afternoon.

During this period, the two fast dragons and five hack dragons on Kuailong Island came to work.

When they saw Naoki coming back, they happily ran over to greet him.

Naoki greeted them one by one, and then watched as the two working dragons went to their sister to pick up the goat's milk and fly to the town to deliver the goods.

The five hackdragons followed Naoki's ass in a swarm.

Wherever Naoki goes, they follow.

In this regard, Naoki Quan should have purchased five hack dragon pendants.

It's winter, and the land in the pasture is temporarily idle and doesn't need to be watered.

Therefore, Naoki took the steel crow feathers obtained from the Galel region to the tree orchard located in the southern part of the ranch.

In a month's time, the little smith had finished his first hammer.

It's just that the hammer is a little rough.

When Naoki arrived, the little smith was standing under a fruit tree examining his hammer.

The Tibetan chinchilla stood on the branch above and nibbled on a tree fruit.

Not far away in the woods, a family of rat cubs that have grown up are playing hide-and-seek with each other in the thick fallen leaves.

With the addition of this group of wild Pokémon, it has added a lot of vitality to this tree orchard.

The little smith was frowning, looking very dissatisfied with his work.

Naoki stepped forward and asked curiously, "It's already done?" ”

Hearing the sound, the little smith and the squirrel above it looked up and saw Naoki walking by.

Their eyes lit up, and then the little smith raised the rough hammer in his hand and showed Naoki, "Woo whoa......"

Naoki looked up and down, and sure enough, he noticed that the quality of the hammer was poor.

There is still rust on it......

Undoubtedly, this is the reason for the poor quality of the materials used by the small blacksmiths.

The little smith also knew this, and it would be nice if there was better metal.

However, this place has been turned over many times by it, and there is no metal suitable for making a hammer.

Without a hammer, the little smith lived an insecure life all day long.

Thinking of this, its mood couldn't help but be a little low: "Wow......"

At this time, Naoki smiled and took out a box of steel armored crow's feathers from behind him: "Dangdang dang!" See what this is? ”

The little smith was slightly stunned, and when he looked down, he saw a box full of metal feathers that shimmered with a jet-black sheen.

This, this, this?!

The little blacksmith's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

Isn't this a rare metal that only the best smiths of their race can find?

In the area where it used to live, there were several giant smiths, and they were immensely powerful, often wielding hammers to attack the steel crows flying in the sky.

When those steel crows are hit, they drop some metal feathers that resemble steel.

Listen to those giant blacksmiths say that hammers made of this metal can break anything.

So much so that owning a steel crow hammer has become the dream of every little smith in the clan.

"For you." Naoki said.

The little blacksmith was shocked: "Wow?! ”

"That's right." Naoki said patiently, "These feathers are the gifts I brought back from this trip, and you can use them to make a hammer that belongs to you." ”

"Wow......"

Hearing this, a layer of water appeared in the eyes of this little blacksmith, and it was extremely moved in its heart.

This human named Naoki ...... That's great!

Not only did he rescue them, but he also gave them food and shelter, and now he gave them a box of precious steel crow feathers!

The little blacksmith was so moved that he was about to cry, he bit his lip and his eyes were teary: "Wow! ”

No one has ever been so nice to it!

Naoki was a little confused: "...... Okay, okay, isn't it just a few feathers? It would be nice to be able to help you, and when you're done with your hammer, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you to ask for, and that's to help Babu Tuppa build a hammer that fits it. ”

Hearing this, the little blacksmith wiped his tears vigorously, and then nodded heavily.

It must use these feathers and its own hammer to create the best hammer in the world for Naoki!

With the feathers of these steel crows, the little smith said goodbye to the Chimbunks and Naoki and went to retreat and practice.

Naoki was infected by the serious emotions of the little blacksmith, and he smiled with emotion, sure enough, there are still many Pokémon in the world who work hard!

However, when he raised his head, he saw a round Tibetan chinchilla, which was obviously much fatter than before.

Naoki: "......"

Well, he retracted what he said before, and not all Pokémon work that hard.

The Pokémon in the tree orchard are still the same.

Naoki wandered around here, saying hello to a house of Pokémon such as rats, candy balls, shuttlecock grass, mushrooms, etc., and checking their wooden huts to see if they were damaged.

When it was the turn of the lazy otter, the lazy otter was lazily lying on the thick fallen leaves and nibbling on a leaf.

At first, Naoki didn't feel anything wrong, until Gu Leton on the side let out a confused cry.

"Ahh

"What's wrong?" Naoki turned his head and followed Oldton's gaze to the lazy otter.

In the next second, he finally reacted.

The color of the coat on this lazy otter turned lilac!

Lilac...... Isn't this the color of a glitter lazy otter?

Impossible? He clearly remembered that this lazy otter was an ordinary lazy otter.

After a brief moment of shock, Naoki stepped forward to check on the lazy otter.

He fumbled around the lazy otter's fur and soon found one fur that was shorter than the others.

This is a place that was once burned bald by fire.

This also means that the lazy otter is still the same lazy otter and has not been replaced.

Can...... Why did it suddenly change color?

Could it be that the plaster dyed it?

Puzzled, Naoki found the graffiti painter who was painting graffiti on the trunk of the fruit tree, and asked, "Plaster, do you know what the lazy otter's fur is?" ”

"Squeak?" The plaster was a little dazed at first, but quickly reacted: "Squeak! ”

It stopped the graffiti and led Naoki to the lazy otter, searched the canopy, and then reached out and pointed at one of the tree fruits.

Naoki looked up and saw a pink fruit he had never seen before hanging quietly from the branch.

[Dyed fruit: A special ingredient that changes the color of the Pokémon after eating, and can be eaten directly or after cooking.] ]

Naoki was startled.

Is this a change in the fruit of the tree?

If you think about it, when the orchard was not yet grown, the mounted goats would come every day to help them grow with the energy of the grass.

Dyeing fruits, does this mean that you can create artificial flash Pokémon?!

If you give it to Guletun, it will turn black, and if you give it to Babu Tupa, Babu Tupu will turn into a super rare pink Babu Tupao......

Naoki imagined for a moment what it would be like if Babu Tu turned pink.

It's cuter......

His heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly searched for the nearby fruit trees.

Unfortunately, this batch of fruit seems to have produced only two dyed fruits.

One of them was eaten as food by the lazy otter.

Naoki picks the dyed fruit and collects it.

At this time, the younger sister had already prepared breakfast and came to call him back to eat.

Naoki answered, said goodbye to the stubber and the lazy otter, and turned to go home for dinner.

At the dinner table, Naoki's eyes looked around, wondering who the dyed fruit was going to be for.

"Before using it, you should ask the Pokémon what they think." Naoki pondered silently.

Because in this world, some heterochromatic Pokémon will be excluded and discriminated against by their clansmen as outliers.

"Do you want to use it for Soleton?"

If he really came up with this idea, Letton probably wouldn't reject him, and with his strength, he probably didn't care about that.

But there is only one dyed fruit, and it can't be changed back after using it, and the next time it grows on the tree, I don't know when it will have to wait.

So, you have to be cautious.

After a little thought, Naoki decided to put the dyed fruit away first, and then wait for him to discuss it with the Pokémon.

After breakfast, Naoki began to stir-fry the translated melon seeds, and finally added the syrup to make them into melon seed cakes.

When everything was done, it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Naoki eats a few pieces of melon seed cake, then goes to the ranch to find the Leiguan King and discuss with him about creating a special field.

"It will snow in half a month, and the weather is too cold for crops to grow, so I don't plan to plant other crops in the field until spring comes."

King Leiguan realized that the little believer could understand him again.

"Why?" He was puzzled, "With my strength, even the coldest snow can make crops grow as usual." ”

Naoki: "...... Well, actually, I wanted to give myself a vacation. ”

Lei Guanwang was slightly stunned: "Holiday? ”

Naoki said truthfully: "Yes, I have been working in the fields from spring to autumn, and if I also farm in winter, I will be busy all year round, and I don't want to live such an impatient life, so it is still necessary to take a proper rest and relax." ”

Lei Guanwang bowed slightly: "I see, I understand, that kind of life is indeed exhausting." ”

Naoki smiled slightly, he planned to keep the field in front of him for seasonal crops, and as for the radishes of the two horses, he was going to carve out a field alone.

So he knocked on the hole that had been dug by a gopher next to the farmland.

Soon, the gopher in the underground cave heard the movement from above, and crawled out along the passage, poking out his little head to look at Naoki: "Squeak? ”

"I have something I want to ask you to help me carve out two more fields behind this field!" Naoki Road.

"Squeak!" The gopher understood, and immediately dived underground, came to the area pointed out by Naoki, and worked hard to cultivate the land.

In a short time, two neat fields were formed by the efforts of the gophers.

Lei Guanwang looked at this scene in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are really popular with these children!" ”

After finishing his work, the gopher ran back excitedly, and Naoki fed it the food in his hand with a smile, and said:

"I provide them with food and shelter, and they stay here to help me, so it's kind of an interdependent relationship, right?"

"More than that." "I can feel that these children like you from the bottom of their hearts. ”

Naoki smiled slightly, then took the radish seeds prepared in advance from Gu Leton's hand and planted them in two fields.

After he finished this work, the Thundercrown King rode onto the snowstorm horse, and used his mental power to manipulate the ice attribute energy on the snowstorm horse, injecting it into the field on the left.

In the blink of an eye, the edge of the field was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Ice and snow fields, done.

Then, the Thundercrown King's form flashed, and he directly used teleportation to transfer to the Spirit Pony.

The majestic spiritual power poured the ghostly attribute energy on the spirit horse's body into the earth.

I saw that the originally brown field was covered with a layer of dark purple at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wisps of purple mist were surging in the soil, looking like a dream.

The ghost field is also completed.

Looking at this scene, Lei Guanwang began the final step.

The huge flower buds above His head burst into blue light, followed by a strong blue glow from the two fields in front of Him.

In the shrouds of light, radish seeds buried deep in the soil quickly broke through the soil.

When the light dissipated, the two fields were full of black and iced turnips.

The gopher, who was watching this scene, opened his eyes wide in shock, revealing a stunned expression.

"Squeak!"

The snowstorm horse snorted impatiently, and when he saw that the turnips had grown, he immediately ran forward and bowed his head to feast in the field.

The ghost pony glanced at the little gopher, and then slowly walked to the ghost field, munching and eating its favorite black radish.

Looking at this scene, Naoki inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment rise in his heart.

"Okay, now you can plant radishes for them at any time!"

Lei Guanwang bowed slightly.

On this occasion, He asked His little believer about the tree.

Lei Guanwang: "Actually, there is one more thing that I care about more than this matter. ”

Naoki was a little surprised: "What? ”

The Thunder Crown King turned and looked at the mount goat in the distance, and the young seedling they were cultivating in the grass.

"Where did that seedling come from? I felt a very strong life force in it, as if the vitality of the whole nature was presented to me. ”
