Chapter 514 Lucia: Are you here to discuss academics or compete?
Between dreams and friends, Lucia chose the illusory responsibility.
Although Zhou You knew that the other party could not succeed, he still supported the girl to pursue her dream.
It's just... that even an 11-year-old girl is precocious enough to consider this kind of problem. This world is somewhat outrageous.
That afternoon, the R1 level gorgeous competition in Changshou Town came as scheduled.
In addition to some familiar old faces, this time he also saw another player who had a sense of déjà vu.
It was a bard apprentice wearing a cuckold, wearing a green cloak, and holding a harp that looked like a dream.
Shangzhi, a poet from the Sinnoh region, is pursuing the legend of the giant in order to compose a piece of music praising the legendary giant that dragged the continent with his partner, the speaker cricket.
Participating in the gorgeous contest is just out of interest.
"So there are really bards in this world?"
Looking at the performance accompanied by Shang Zhi, the "singing" speaker cricket, in the first round of review, Eden thought thoughtfully, thinking that he was just talking nonsense before.
Zhou You emphasized: "This is a very old profession. But I only learned it in the extracurricular class of the Children's Palace, and I can't compare with professionals like him."
It's just a little strange that there are bards in the Sinnoh region.
Not only that.
Poffins are popular in Sinnoh, curry is popular in Galar, the calamity treasure from the east is sealed in Padea,
But Bodhidharma, a thing with regional characteristics, is completely missing from Kanto. Instead, it appears in large numbers in the ruins in the Hezhu area.
This situation can only make people lament that fashion trends are reincarnation, and the cultural exchanges between ancient people in this world are far more frequent than people imagine.
Although he is not interested in culture and popular aspects, Arthur in the elf ball is very curious, what is the legendary giant that drags the land?
Are there such huge and powerful elves?
"I know this."
Eden still remembers the myth that the trainer mentioned to him: "The giant that dragged the continent in the myth was Reggie Chikas. The Reggie family we met in the World Tree before was the one who used various weapons in his own likeness. Fabricated from a variety of materials.”
Arthur was shocked, the legendary elves who created the legendary elves!
Even a Reggie Ellechi is several times stronger than Freeze Bird. How strong will the Reggie Chikas who created them be?
"shave?"
I remember Jojo said before that Reggie Chikas was in Xuefeng Temple, right?
I’m even eager to take care of my filial son!
Facing the excited Arthur and his filial son, Zhou You couldn't help but feel dumb. He thought about the legendary elves all day long. You are really brave.
"Regichkas is indeed in the Snow Peak Temple, but you can't see it unless the conditions are met. Moreover, it is still unknown whether it can drag the continent like in the myth."
After saying that, he shook his head unconsciously, and he might as well ask Regiccas when he had the chance.
The ultra-ancient elves were extremely huge, and their current reduced posture is just a result of them adapting to the current environment.
Maybe in the past, Regichicas really had the power to be hundreds of meters high and drag the continental shelf?
While Zhou You and the elves were thinking about one day going to the Snow Peak Temple to explore the truth of myths and legends, Giratina, who had been floating nearby, suddenly joined their telepathic chat group.
"It's plate movement."
Dai Duozi: What is that?
"..."
Giratina didn't seem to want to explain in detail.
Although the elves were a little confused about this, Zhou You suddenly understood.
If the planet's once-a-millennium reincarnation is related to astronomy, this time the myth about Regichicas is a matter of geography.
"It turns out that the truth of the myth is plate movement? What about the cause of the land and sea war? Was it a geological tectonic movement?"
Seeing that the elves still had expressions of unclear meaning, Zhou You explained carefully: "Do you still remember the primordial soup theory that Dr. Oak mentioned when we were on the Orange Islands? In contrast, there is another theory in the theory of continental drift. A primitive continental view.”
To be precise, it should be called Pangea/Supercontinent.
That is, in the distant past (hundreds of millions of years ago), this planet actually had only one extremely huge continent.
And today's various regions are actually just the products of the splitting of Pangea due to the rotation of the planet, the gravity of celestial bodies, uneven density, etc...
Listening to the trainer's explanation, Arthur became more and more puzzled. What is the relationship between the changes in the earth's crust and Regichicas dragging the continent?
"The so-called myths are just ignorant people's interpretation of unknown phenomena."
Even scientists cannot conclude that Mew is the ancestor of all elves, and can only use vague descriptions such as "it is said" and "believed".
Even so, Dr. Ohki would occasionally accuse them of being the scum of academia - don't use rhetorical techniques in such rigorous materials as illustrated books!
Don’t put legendary things in there casually, like Indian elephants or something like that. Aren’t those fantasy creatures that appear in fantasy novels? ?
Right, the research results of modern scientists cannot be guaranteed to be correct, and the authenticity of those myths passed down from hundreds of thousands of years ago is even less guaranteed.
More often than not, it was just the ancient people who combined imagination, superstition and tradition to pass down the things they saw to young people orally.
And even if the original myth has a very high reference value, it is destined to become ambiguous after being passed down for more than dozens of generations.
This is also something that mythology scholars such as Zhulan and Wangluo have been struggling with - studying mythology is really not a job that requires only some translation of ancient texts.
Unless you know someone who has experienced the myth... but who knows if there are misunderstandings or lies?
"In other words, the reason why the myth of 'Regichicas drags the continent' is spread is actually because the humans who dare not approach it are in Pangea... Wait, were there humans at that time!?"
When were the continents of this world created and when were they divided?
Before Zhou You could further question the witnesses of the myth about the truth of the legend of Rejichicas, he saw his name displayed on the big screen at the venue.
It sounds like he is indeed a contestant in the gorgeous contest.
Thinking that it would be difficult to judge the authenticity without Reshiram asking too many questions, he simply put aside his doubts for the time being, and after a little preparation, he slowly took the stage.
At the venue, the host in charge of the conference process was still Miss Vivian, and the scorers were Mr. Sumisa from the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Konkenstein, the conference affairs director, and Miss Joy from Changshou Town.
I always feel that this configuration is similar to last time?
Zhou You, who didn't deliberately remember this point, didn't feel anything was wrong for a while.
"Arthur, the decision is yours."
But he still remembered that the judges last time said that the temperature of his first round performance was too low and he could raise it a little higher next time.
"Oath to the Flame of Victory!!!"
There is a saying that when Ruby and Sapphire was released more than ten years ago, Masuda Junichi once mentioned that the legendary sea and land war did not actually exist, but that the crust changed that year.
Although it is not clear whether it is true or not, in the gem replica version, the battles between the two idiots of Hoenn did indeed happen.
I don’t know if it’s the difference in parallel world settings or just reading books.
But books are for eating, and gf and tpc don’t eat settings once or twice. This is normal.
