Chapter 490: Ghost Girl and the Rejection
"Excuse me, can you serve me a bowl too?"
Zhou You and the elves followed the sound and discovered that a girl with red eyes and black skin wearing a red printed dress appeared nearby at some point.
It seemed that even Eden was surprised by the appearance of this girl whose appearance was 90% similar to that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn, Lotus.
Why do the Four Heavenly Kings appear here at midnight?
And, is the Ghost King actually a dead person?
Sensing the girl's abnormality, Zhou You pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Can ghosts also eat?"
"Ah haha, I was discovered right away!"
The ghost whose identity was revealed did not leave, but sat down unceremoniously: "As long as you master the skills, you can materialize it in a short time, almost like a ghost-type Pokémon."
In this world, ghost elves also possess qualities and can exist in the gap between the world of the living and the dead, manifesting themselves as they please.
But I didn't expect human ghosts to be able to do similar things. Sure enough, humans are a type of elves.
This was the first time Zhou You heard about this kind of thing, so he didn't pay too much attention to the other party's identity and served a bowl of stew to the ghost.
"Thanks."
The carefree ghost was carrying a late-night snack. Perhaps it had been too long since she had communicated with the living. She started chatting while eating.
"Originally, I felt an aura of disillusionment and thought there was some threat, so I came over to investigate, but I didn't expect it was just someone camping."
"The amount of life force in your body is frightening. You must be a person with super powers. Could it be that you identified that I am not a living person by observing the life energy?"
"Your elves are also very energetic. Are you a trainer here to practice?"
"There seems to be something very dangerous hidden in your backpack. What is it?"
"This fox-like elf seems to be in a strange state of half-life and half-death, and the strength of its soul is far greater than that of other elves. Is this a characteristic of this race?"
"This wind speed dog is really strange. It seems to be somewhat similar to the legendary Emperor Yan."
"Me? Hum, yes, I am also a descendant of the Orb Guardian clan."
"Since you are a trainer, do you want to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings? I think you and your elves are almost particularly able to restrain the Ghost King. Your winning rate against her is probably 100%..."
Rarely communicating with other humans made the ghost talkative. It was said that it was chatty, but in fact, most of the time, the ghost girl was talking to herself and asking quick questions.
She was feeling bored at night when she noticed the strange smell leaking out when Zhou You opened his backpack, and worriedly came over to observe the area. After confirming that there was no danger, she came over curiously to chat.
Zhou Youxin said it was no wonder, after all, the real owner of the black jade was somewhat from the underworld.
Although there is no evidence that Giratina is the Lord of the Spirit World, the official entrance to the ruined world where he lives is the Fountain of Farewell and the Return Cave that connect the two worlds of life and death.
"Qiaoqiao, why do you talk so little? Are you here to practice?" The ghost became more and more curious about the purpose of the young man in front of him.
Zhou You made no secret of his purpose: "I found a buried tower built by the ancient Fengyuan people in the Chengdu area, so I came to the sacred mountain to ask the orb keeper to borrow the vermilion orb and the indigo orb."
After hearing this, the chatty ghost fell into rare silence.
She is the descendant of the orb's keeper.
How could the orb that the family had passed down from generation to generation and that they had devoted everything to protect be handed over to outsiders?
"Why do you want the orb? Do you also covet the legendary super ancient elves?"
"Also?" Eden noticed the details of the ghost's choice of words and sentences.
Could it be that someone has already come to them to ask for the orb?
The ghost nodded. In fact, two groups of people visited Sacred Mountain not long ago, hoping to buy orbs with huge sums of money.
However, the value of such a precious ultra-ancient secret treasure cannot be measured in terms of money.
Vermilion orbs and indigo orbs are the crystallization of natural energy, containing unimaginable energy. They have been the object of competition among super-ancient elves since ancient times.
If used in the right place, it can awaken Groudon and Kyogre, which can cause natural disasters, and return them to their original appearance with the help of natural energy!
"There are records or stories of super-ancient elves destroying civilizations in various regions. Qiaoqiao, the power of the God of the Earth and the God of the Sea cannot be controlled by mortals!"
"But I'm not interested in the power of Groudon and Kyogre." After all, adding them to the team will only serve as a distraction. Zhou You is the solo player of Charizard. "I want to borrow the orb just to prevent the two of them." A super ancient elf moved to a safe place to sleep."
It can’t be said that my clairvoyance will see that the orb you guard will be taken away in the future.
So he continued to explain: "There are rituals left by the ancient Fengyuan people in the buried tower. The corresponding super-ancient elves can be summoned into the tower through orbs. At the same time, the tower body is specially reinforced and will not be easily damaged. It is very suitable for super-ancient elves to be summoned." Ancient spirits sleep in it.”
Hearing this, the ghost shook his head. It sounded like a completely unreliable method.
Buried Tower... Buried Tower...
She seemed to have heard similar names somewhere.
By the way, thousands of years ago, some Fengyuan people who immigrated to another country borrowed orbs from the caretaker at that time!
"I seem to have heard of the so-called Buried Tower. It only has the ability to summon super-ancient elves but cannot calm them down.
"The caretakers from thousands of years ago would not lend out the orbs, and the caretakers today will not lend them out either."
This plan had no feasibility from the beginning. It just transferred the super-ancient elves that were ravaging Hoenn to Kanto.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that the ancient Fengyuan people chose to seal the buried tower for future generations.
Regarding the family's mission, the ghost became extremely serious: "Qiaoqiao, I reject you on behalf of my grandparents. The orb can never be loaned out. Don't come here again in the future."
After saying that, the ghost of the caretaker's granddaughter suddenly disappeared, and I don't know if she went back to the ancestral hall at the top to find someone to tell her about this, so as to make some preparations in advance.
Looking at the indentation of the picnic cloth in front of the bowl and chopsticks, Zhou You sighed helplessly.
Because it is the right thing to do, erasing the meaning of someone else's mission that has been passed down for thousands of years from the source. Is it to liberate it from the shackles, or is it the arrogance of a time traveler with clairvoyance?
He couldn't quite tell the difference between the two. After all, he knew that he was quite arrogant to begin with. When he first came out, he thought that the championship was easy to come by.
After the ghost left, Eden no longer had any hope in borrowing the orb: "That ghost should be the deceased granddaughter of the orb's caretaker. Can she represent the caretaker? Qiaoqiao, do we still want to go?" Borrow the orb?"
After all, it knew that it was impossible to use force to rob it when traveling around. In this way, the priority between the strange boy and the family's thousand-year mission became obvious.
"It's probably out of the question, so don't embarrass the relationship. But it doesn't matter. I have a set of orbs myself. Whether I can borrow the orbs this time will not affect my plan."
There is always a plan B when traveling.
