Chapter 353: Frozen Village, the King of the Flower Crown appears!

Chapter 353: Frozen Village, the King of the Flower Crown appears!

Compared to the four Nemos who were like zombies, Pioni, who was at least 1.8 meters tall, had more energy and acted more exaggeratedly.

Jumping off the back of the King Bronze Elephant, Pioni grabbed Luo Mu's hands before the four students, and said with tears in his eyes: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, my spiritual friend, Xiao Dandan's teacher, the legendary exorcist!"

God knows how long Pioni has been looking forward to this moment.

In the past few nights, I watched the villagers of Dongning Village being possessed by ghosts one after another, floating in the air without any signs, and saying something vague and nonsense like a dream.

The incident happened in this secluded village that was almost isolated from the world and built in the vast snowfield.

Seeing that not only Nemo, Papa and Pipa, but also Xiao Dandan and Xiao Xiaxia were successively attacked by the unknown ghost or ghost Pokémon, Pioni, who was heavy and powerful like steel and could not use his skills, was in great pain.

After another night of trembling, Luo Mu, who Nimo said could easily exorcise ghosts, finally arrived!

The tall and strong Pioni patted Luo Mu's right shoulder vigorously, and sighed: "Oh, although we have only met each other at a distance on the phone, I didn't expect that you, teacher, have such impressive results in the field of exorcism!"

Luo Mu: "."

If it weren't for the fact that his physical fitness had become much stronger after doing farm work for half a year, and even his abdominal muscles were showing, otherwise Luo Mu would really doubt whether he would be beaten apart by Pioni's hand strength.

His eyes fell on Nimo's face, who showed no guilt at all, and then moved to Paipa, who chose to hypnotize him even though she didn't believe it, Mudan, who looked dazed, and Pipa, who looked tired, and Luo Mu knew everything.

It was probably Mudan or Pipa who mentioned to Pioneer that Luo Mu had met a real ghost at the old Super Value Supermarket in Alola, and then after Nemo exaggerated it (she really believed it), these people were desperate and called him to ask for help.

"Alas"

Luo Mu sighed softly, hoping that Nemo would not brag about him to others except for this incident during the month in Galar.

Then he looked at Pioneer in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Pioneer, Mudan's father."

"Without further delay, why don't we go to that village first? The wind and snow in the Crown Snowfield should be a bit unpredictable these days."

First, he greeted Pioneer in a friendly manner, and Luo Mu did not waste time on meaningless greetings, and directly asked to go to the Frozen Village.

Pioni was startled. Although he was usually carefree, he followed Luo Mu's line of sight and found that Nemo and the others were interacting with the Vulpix and an unfamiliar Pokémon brought by Luo Mu.

Especially when Pioni focused his attention on Mudan, he clearly saw Mudan's particularly bad mental state.

Her snow-white skin looked even paler, and even the thick frames could not cover the dark circles under her eyes, as well as the dry and flaky lips.

After all, these children are only in their teens.

Pioni was not stupid either. He clearly understood what Luo Mu meant and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go back to Dongning Village now."

"They all respect you very much. If you come, they should be able to sleep peacefully."

The journey to Dongning Village is not far. Because of the thick snow, it is difficult to move, and there is also the King Bronze Elephant, a high-quality mount in the snowfield.

The large back of the King Bronze Elephant can accommodate several people. The slight swaying along the way made the people who were already on the verge of the limit of their willpower stagnant and drowsy.

How can a child who is growing up endure this sleepiness?

When a small village built in the snow appeared in Luo Mu's vision, it was already snowing lightly, and the exquisite snowflakes seemed to fill all the vision in front of him.

And Nimo and the other four also fell into a deep sleep. It can be seen that their spirits have been really tense for a long time.

Except for Peony, the three children encountered a haunted incident during their trip to a foreign country. This pressure is really a bit great.

When they arrived outside the Frozen Village, the King Bronze Elephant took the initiative to stop, and it seemed that he had a clear understanding that walking into the village with his body size was destroying it.

After landing from the back of the King Bronze Elephant, Luo Mu said, "I will help too."

Pioni was startled, but Luo Mu acted faster.

Considering that he and Pione were already there, Luo Mu called out the Blade of the Blue Blade and Swampert, and asked them to pick up Neemo and Pipa. He then carried Pione on his back, and watched Pione carefully hold Peony in his arms as if it were a treasure, and then walked into the range of the Frozen Village.

It seems that in order to prevent the intrusion of wild Pokémon, there is a wall built with some kind of wood around the Frozen Village. The entire village is not large, and there should be only a dozen or twenty households, which can be said to be quite rare.

It is said that there are other places in the Crown Snowfield where there are settlements of a few people, or some people living alone in the snowfield.

These are the information Luo Mu learned when he was looking for information.

Carrying Pioneer, Luo Mu walked in the quiet Frozen Village.

It was only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but no one was outside in Dongning Village. There were only some farm tools scattered in the few acres of farmland, and the crops that had finally grown in the ice and snow were wilting.

According to Luo Mu's experience, one can tell at a glance that these crops have become what they are now because they have been neglected in recent times.

All signs indicate that because of the so-called "haunted" incident, the entire Frozen Ning Village, which was still able to survive in such a harsh environment as the Crown Snowfield, is now on the verge of collapse.

"The situation is much more serious than I thought."

Luo Mu murmured in a low voice that even Pioni beside him couldn't hear.

The giant swamp monster carrying the lopa looked at the surrounding environment curiously, as if to determine the mixed atmosphere here.

The Blue Flame Blade Demon held Nemo firmly in a knight's princess hug. He also put away the blade of his sword very considerately and carefully adjusted the hug posture to avoid hurting his trainer's students.

The calm gaze of the Blue Flame Saber kept scanning the village. As a ghost-type Pokémon, it could also detect the aura of the same kind to a certain extent and observe the traces of the same kind of actions.

But so far, it seems that there is almost no particularly strong aura. It does not look like the environment that should appear in a place where ghost-type Pokémon have been wreaking havoc for more than a week. There are almost no traces.

Unless, that ghost-type Pokémon can fly.

Now it seems that the culprit is not a ghost-type Pokémon, that is, something else is causing trouble, or it is a real [ghost] that even ghost-type Pokémon like them cannot explain.

Just when Luo Mu's eyes fell on the broken statue somewhere in the farmland of Dongning Village, Paipa on his back didn't know whether he was asleep or had a rare dream during the day.

Pipa's face leaning on Luo Mu's back rubbed Luo Mu's broad back with nostalgia, as if she was missing something, and she let out a few vague sleepy murmurs.

"dad."

Luo Mu, who happened to hear Pipa murmuring in his sleep, stiffened and his expression suddenly became weird.

no.

Brother, I am only seven or eight years older than you. Is it inappropriate for you to call me that?

Pioni on the side didn't know if he had become a spirit by listening to the wind. He approached Luo Mu with a gossipy face and asked excitedly as if he couldn't read the air at all: "What! My friend of the soul, is it possible to send Luo Mu?" This guy is your son?"

"I can't tell! You obviously look less than twenty years old. Is this the legendary baby face?"

Before Luo Mu could retort with a dark face, it seemed that they had unknowingly arrived at the door of the house that Pioni bought in Dongning Village specifically for exploration. The conversation was interrupted by the person who had been waiting behind the door for a long time. Listened to the whole thing.

As the door opened with a "squeak" and a sound sounded, Pioni's movements instantly stiffened.

"It's unbelievable. I don't remember my dad being this kind of person who couldn't read the air."

"Even if this reliable baby-faced trainer who traveled thousands of miles to come to support made a mistake when he was young, he shouldn't be so careless in poking someone else's pain!"

After the door opened, the person who spoke was completely opposite to Peony, a young hot girl who was more cheerful and even wearing a short skirt in this ice and snow.

She is Pioni's eldest daughter and Peony's biological sister, Shakya.

"That's not the case, Xiao Xiaxia, please listen to my explanation!"

As if he was afraid of being completely thrown into the cold palace by his daughter, Pioni was busy trying to explain. He didn't even notice that Peony on his back had an indescribable expression as if he was having a nightmare due to the constant bumps.

Luo Mu, who looked indifferent, said quietly: "I suddenly want to go home, so I might as well take Mudan and the others directly back to Padiya."

After a while.

The firewood in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the sound of crackling wood could be heard from time to time.

The red firelight illuminated the house, bringing warmth to the people inside in this world of ice and snow.

Next to the fireplace where the flame continued to burn, Nemo and the four of them lay on the carpet, covered with a thin blanket, sleeping soundly and deeply.

Xia Keya and Pioni sat on their knees on the cushions used for reception. They lowered their heads and felt very ashamed. They didn't even dare to look up at Luo Mu, who was sitting on the only lazy sofa in the room that was a guest.

Without it, it’s just a mistake.

If Luo Mu, the boss who came from afar, really ran away tonight with Nemo, Mudan, Pipa and Papa, what would the father and daughter do?

Abort the ruins exploration plan and the Crown Snowfield Cave exploration plan?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

The two people playing tricks can only lower their profile now, hoping that Luo Mu, the soul-killing master now sealed by Nimo, will solve the nightmare in Dongning Village in recent times, instead of leaving them here and taking Nimo and the four of them. People run away.

While drinking the scalding boiled water to dispel the slight chill, Luo Mu felt a sudden warmth rising in his body.

After letting out an imperceptible sigh, Luo Mu looked down at Pioni and Shakya and began to ask some detailed questions.

For example, are there any records of ghost-type Pokémon appearing near Freezing Village? Have villagers in Freezing Village brought back anything strange recently?

More importantly, how long did the so-called "haunting" events begin, whether they only occur late at night, and whether there is a pattern to the possession.

Xia Keya and Pioni looked at each other, and finally Pioni started to speak first: "The ancestors of the Frozen Village built the village here for safety reasons. There are almost no dangerous wild Pokémon nearby, and I have never heard of ghost Pokémon."

"As for strange things, as far as I know, there are none."

"But the statue in the center of the village that seems to be missing something looks very suspicious."

After Pioni finished speaking, Xia Keya continued to speak.

She nodded heavily: "I also think that the statue looks suspicious. The horse that looks quite abstract is fine, but the wooden sculpture riding on the horse looks like it is missing a small part of its head!"

"Maybe there is a spirit from ancient times living in that statue."

At this point, the father and daughter reached a consensus for the first time, looking at each other with bright eyes.

If Mudan was still awake, she would have a dead look in her eyes and mutter something like "stupid dad, stupid sister"

"Ahem."

Luo Mu coughed lightly. No matter how he looked at these two funny guys, he felt that they were unreliable. No wonder Mudan wanted to hide her family relationship.

At Luo Mu's reminder, Pione and Xia Keya, who were discussing whether the statue was haunted, froze and continued to talk honestly.

The haunting incident probably started about a week after Mudan and her friends arrived at the Crown Snowfield.

At that time, Pione took her students around the Crown Snowfield.

What red trees, the surface of the ruins in the snow valley, the mining experience of the Ice Stone and Water Stone veins, and the peaks of the Crown Snowfield

After completing the expedition, when Nemo and her friends were excitedly discussing where to go to capture Pokémon next, the village began to have haunting incidents one after another that night.

Until now.

The villagers were tense and frightened at night, curled up or hugged each other tightly, praying that they would not be possessed.

During the day, they cherished this hard-earned quiet moment, catching up on sleep or replenishing some energy, and even neglected the farmland.

The dilapidated and desolate scene that Luo Mu saw was also caused by this.

After listening to the two people's stories, Luo Mu touched his chin and showed a thoughtful expression: "It should be an indisputable fact that something is moving in this village."

Hearing this, Pioni and Xia Keya looked at each other with surprise.

As expected, they are masters of exorcism, and they came to a conclusion so quickly!

".Forget it."

Just looking at Xia Keya and Pioni's expressions, Luo Mu knew what they were thinking, and prayed for the thousandth time in his heart that Nemo would never brag about herself to others when traveling in the Galar region.

After a sigh, Luo Mu looked out the door, thinking that it was almost time, and the two Pokémon should come back.

Sure enough.

About ten seconds later, two figures covered with a layer of snow opened the door of the room and walked into the warm hut.

They were the Blue Blade Ghost and Mimikyuu who Luo Mu sent out to explore the surrounding environment in the corners of the village and outside the village.

By the way, because his hands were blades, the Blue Blade Ghost could not open the door because he could not disassemble weapons like a certain Battle Greymon.

This was only successfully opened by Mimikyuu who stood on tiptoe and stretched his shadow claws as far as possible.

After entering the room, noticing Luo Mu's inquiring eyes, the Blue Blade Ghost and Mimikyuu shook their heads slightly, indicating that they had not found any important clues at all.

"Is that so"

Luo Mu was a little helpless. It seemed that although he was already extremely weak due to the exhaustion of the power of faith, could the Bud Crown King still invade the village without leaving any trace?

Looking at the two Pokémon, one tall and one short, who looked very guilty with their heads down, Luo Mu raised a soothing smile, touched the head of the lost Mimikyuu, and patted its shoulder under the eager but reserved expression of the Blue Blade Ghost.

He said soothingly: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

The current situation is just that we can only wait until the evening to see if the Bud Crown will show up tonight.

That will be the best time to solve the problem.

However, today is the last day of July, and most likely we will not be able to return to the Padiya region on time tomorrow to attend the opening ceremony of the Grape Academy.

After thinking about it, Luo Mu edited another message and sent it to the principal, Claver, explaining the reason, and by the way, asked for a few days off on behalf of Nemo and the other four.

As for Nemo's parents, we can only contact them after they wake up.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu stood up and said to Pioni and his daughter: "The Blade Ghost and the others didn't find any traces of ghost-type Pokémon. We can only wait until night to see what happens."

"You just look after Nemo and the others. I'll go around the village to see if there are any villagers who are still awake. Maybe I can learn some information from them that we don't know."

The father and daughter were stunned. Then, Xia Keya pushed Pioni and signaled to the stupid father with her eyes that she was here. Let him follow Luo Mu, at least he can play the role of leading and introducing.

Pioni stood up happily, tidied his red exploration suit, thought about it and picked up an object from the table next to him, and then followed Luo Mu who had already left the house.

When they came to the outside of the house, the light snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a trend of gradually transforming into heavy snow.

Glancing at the sky that was a little blurry under the countless snowflakes, Luo Mu let the Blue Flame Blade Demon temporarily return to the Poké Ball, leaving only Mimikyu hiding in his shadow and Vulpix in his arms.

Although Luo Mu and Cangyan Blade Ghost may not have that intention, in the eyes of the villagers, they might look like bad guys who came to rob.

After all, the Cangyan Blade Ghost's invisible double swords were too conspicuous.

Mimikyu can hide in his own shadow, which is very convenient.

As for the Six-Tails, they were brought out purely for cuteness, which would make Luo Mu look more harmless, friendly, and trustworthy.

Just as Luo Mu was getting ready, he was about to walk to other houses.

"My spiritual friend, wait a moment!"

Pioni held a wooden carving on his head to avoid the snow, and shouted Luo Mu's name loudly, asking him to wait for him.

Luo Mu, who was holding Vulpix, turned around and looked around. When his eyes focused on Pioni's head, he fell into a daze for a moment.

That's carved from wood. Broccoli?

"Miaowu"

Vulpix thought this thing was a bit abstract, and the Pioni holding the broccoli was also very abstract. Thinking of his mother's teachings, he chose to cover his eyes with his little paws.

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Mu quickly reacted and looked at the wooden broccoli above Pioni's head. As if he remembered something, he asked aloud: "Where did you get this?"

Pioni smiled and winked as if he was posing: "Hey, it seems I picked it up casually on the roadside. It's just right to use it to keep out the snow. Do you want it too?"

".want to."

Luo Mu nodded slightly.

"I really can't help it. Who made you my soul friend?" Pioni pretended that he couldn't stand you, and handed the wooden carving that just fit above his head to Luo Mu, "Here, take it."

"Thank you."

Luo Mu put down the Vulpix, took the wooden broccoli that was bigger than his head with both hands, looked around, and walked towards a part of the farmland under Pioni's puzzled and curious eyes. corner.

There is an incomplete statue here that is also carved from wood.

As Pioni and Shakya said, perhaps the sculptor's technique is a bit awkward and the sculpture looks very abstract.

But at least it can be seen that the statue is a Pokémon with a missing hat on its head riding a horse that looks slightly wise.

Without much hesitation, Luo Mu placed the wooden carving "Broccoli" in his hand on the gap.

At this moment, "Broccoli" fit perfectly on the head of the Pokémon statue.

Pioni, who came over, looked at the statue in surprise and opened his mouth to say something.

But at this moment, the Vulpix at Luo Mu's feet seemed to have discovered something, and set his sights somewhere behind the statue.

"Miaowu!"

Reminded by Vulpix's voice, Luo Mu immediately looked in that direction.

He found that in a forest covered with snow outside the village, a smaller green figure was quietly suspended there, looking at him with a majestic gaze.

Pioni, who also followed Luo Mu's gaze and looked over there, shouted at an inappropriate moment: "What a big green head! What is that? A Pokémon turned into broccoli?"

Speechless Luo Mu: "."

"Guann, Guannlei."

The Pokémon took a deep look at Pioni, then looked at Luo Mu, made a few calls that he couldn't understand at all, turned around and walked into the woods.

Luo Mu only thought for a moment before he directly understood what the Pokémon meant. He immediately picked up Vulpix, crossed the wooden fence, and chased after it.

At the same time, his mind was racing.

Although his vision was slightly ambiguous due to the snowflakes covering his field of vision, he could definitely say that that Pokémon must be the legendary Pokémon, King Lei Guan!

The ancient King of Galar who has lost his faith - King of Fertility, King Lei Guan!
