Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 829 Yukeshi: No, how come you exceeded the mission target?

legend.

In the distant Kalos region, there exists a legendary Pokémon revered as the god of life.

When the other person's antlers shimmer with a dazzling seven-colored light, the other person can share their eternal life.

The most practical example is a human king who, under the influence of the "ultimate weapon" containing his power, gained eternal life and traversed three thousand years of history in human form.

The power of legendary Pokémon lies not only in their physical strength, but also in the concepts they represent.

Like life and death, time and space, order or reversal.

While the Crowned King cannot grant an individual eternal life, it can forcibly extend lifespan.

However, the Crane Queen rarely used this ability. Even during its time as King of Galar, it would not casually extend the lives of its subjects and subordinates, and even the use of its power was full of restraint.

But this time the situation is different.

Since it concerns that test, and it was Luo Mu's request, King Lei Guan wouldn't mind making an exception for him.

As for whether it will prematurely reveal its trump card to the mastermind when it displays its power.

Since Luo Mu has already said it's fine, it doesn't need to care.

The immense life force emanating from the Rachelon continuously flowed into Zoroark's body.

Due to its overwhelming quality and quantity, even though Zoroark's body had long since become a funnel that only went out and never came in, it was still forcibly poured back in by the Lady Crown.

The power of legend is terrifying.

Once the vortex of life force subsided, the firebird's sacred fire withdrew.

What appeared before the three of them was Zoroark, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, with a look that still seemed somewhat bewildered.

The Lacecrown floated toward Zoroark, gently placing its right hand on Zoroark's head, covering the last glimmer of vibrant green light.

"Thus, you are reborn."

The Crowned King's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an unquestionable majesty and a touch of compassionate love, as if it had traveled through time and space to reach Zoroark's ears.

Luo Mu stood to the side, watching this scene that was full of mythical atmosphere, and his expression became emotional.

In this world, there is probably no scene more fitting than this one to the saying, "An immortal touched my head, and I received eternal life."

Zoroark, nearing the end of his life and on the verge of death, was given a second life through the power of the Bejeweled King.

Even if it wasn't eternal, at least it gave Zorya more time to grow up.

Until the moment of saying goodbye with satisfaction arrived.

They glanced at the pearl shell and the rim, who were completely stunned and muttering about what a miracle this was.

She glanced again at the tender moment between Zoroark and his grandson, who had jumped out of her arms and were now embracing.

Luo Mu thought to himself.

So I should be considered to have perfectly completed the test set by Keshi, right?

I suppose my performance of being super intelligent should be impeccable, right?
A hint of pride flashed across Luo Mu's face, but it quickly vanished and turned into astonishment.

Ok?
etc--

Wait, a grandfather and grandson?

Luo Mu's gaze once again fell on the two Pokémon that were tenderly cuddling each other.

Without a doubt, he had subconsciously used his experience to determine the genders of Zoroark and Zoroark.

They are all male.
Considering that one of them was nearing the end of its life and the other was clearly only recently born, it can be said that both grandfather and grandson were somewhat conservative.

With such a large age gap, they can't possibly be related as parents and children, nor can they be grandparents or grandchildren.

Luo Mu, who hadn't noticed these trivial details at all, fell completely silent.

—No, you two just put on such a dramatic scene of life and death, entrusting your child to someone else, and you made so many tears, but now you're telling me that you two have absolutely no blood relation?
at the same time.

Yukishi, who was closely monitoring the situation, also fell silent.

However, what surprised it was not the gender issue between Zoroark and Zoroark, but something else entirely.

Its gaze pierced through space and landed on the Calycerin King, causing its emotions to fluctuate.

Is this reasonable?
A destroyed world.

He sat cross-legged, gazing at the compass.

Before him, a man-made bonfire was burning fiercely, the crackling of dry firewood accompanied by sparks, constantly heating the river fish that Wang Luo had skewered on simple wooden sticks.

His gaze shifted from the inverted water reflecting the scene inside the ice cave above him, and he fell into deep thought.

accident.

This was Wang Luo's first reaction.

He truly hadn't expected that the mysterious person would be accompanied by such an unusual Pokémon.

The exact nature of its power remains unclear, but the fact that it managed to extend the lifespan of a Pokémon that was almost dead already indicates that it is no ordinary entity.

"interesting."

Wang Luo chuckled, his expression remaining relaxed and carefree.

The source of this confidence still came from the Lord of Reversal, Giratina, whose dragon eyes were bloodshot, who had quietly drifted to the side of his floating island.

Not to mention that the other party has to get past those two time-space dragons who are practically fighting to the death before they are even qualified to have an audience with them.

to the end.

All the other party's efforts are nothing more than paving the way for their own benefit.

It must have been really hard for Luo Mu to collect the stone slabs for me.

"I'll be waiting for this peach at the Pillar of Spears."

Wang Luo muttered to himself, his gaze falling once more on the sizzling, oily grilled fish in front of him.

"It's also a small revenge for being forced to live like a savage in this godforsaken place these past few days."

The expression on his face when he imagined the other party finally managing to quell the anger of the Time-Space Twin Dragons after going through countless hardships, only to discover that he, an unknown traveling merchant, was the mastermind behind everything.

Wang Luo couldn't help but hum softly.

Then he noticed that Giratina suddenly brought its entire face close, its deep, unfathomable dragon eyes fixed on him.

"You want to eat this?"

Wang Luo assumed the other person was just craving something, so he confidently picked up a grilled fish and generously handed it to them.

"Here, eat if you want."

Anyway, the upside-down water surface of this reversed world reflects the positive side of the world. During this time, he had nothing to do and caught a lot of fish, so his stock was definitely enough.

However, Giratina turned his head away dismissively, seemingly having no interest in the thing whatsoever.

It simply watched Wangluo silently, continuing its taciturn dragon persona to the very end.

Wang Luo felt a chill run down his spine from that look.

Think about it too.

Giratina was banished to this destroyed world after the creation of the world.

Since then, its only form of entertainment has probably been observing the real world through those upside-down water surfaces.

Imagine that, in some dark corner of a world unnoticed by anyone, a pair of bloodshot eyes are watching you all the time.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

The gaze that Giratina had honed through so much practice over such a long period of time was something even a crazy, ambitious man like Wang Luo couldn't withstand.

Suppressing the chills running down his spine, Wang Luo revealed an ambitious smile.

"I know you're worried about whether the plan will go smoothly again."

"But don't worry, everything is still within expectations."

"After all, our combination is the strongest."

"We will be the ultimate winners!"

In the now silent ice cave, Luo Mu and Zoroark stood facing each other. "Zora—"

Holding Zoroark in one arm, Zoroark raised his other arm and reached out to Luo Mu.

Its eyes, which looked as if they were outlined with red eyeliner, were staring unblinkingly at Luo Mu.

That's a way of greeting that it learned from observing some humans.

This is its first practical application.

"Hello."

As Luo Mu reached out to shake hands, he inexplicably caught a glimpse of wisdom in Zoroark's eyes, a light similar to that of the intelligent ape.

However, given Zoroark's powerful ability to construct illusions, it's not surprising that it's a bit smarter.

Luo Mu didn't dwell on the matter, but instead focused his gaze on the heterochromatic Zoroa who was timidly looking at him.

Unlike the usual gray, white, and red color scheme of the Green Zorua, the Zorua before us has darker gray fur that is almost black.

The highlights on the ear tips, tail tips, and eyebrows were also changed to blue.

The little guy looks quite adorable.

Luo Mu smiled and teased, "You'll have to raise this child yourself from now on."

Luo Mu had no desire for the heterochromatic Zoroia.

to be honest.

He already has too many baby Pokémon on the farm to manage, so how could he possibly have the energy to take care of another Zorua?

Even though this Zoroa is a shiny and extremely rare one, that's still true.

"Zora!"

Zoroark nodded slightly. It looked quite docile at this moment, completely unlike the frenzied state it had shown when it fought desperately in the encirclement of Weavile.

Its eyes were full of gratitude as it looked at Luo Mu.

Zoroark was very clear-headed; even the Rachel, who had "reborn" him, was only extending his life out of respect for Romulus.

Not to mention that it was Luo Mu who led his Pokémon to rescue himself and Zoroah from the encirclement of those Weavile Pokémon.

The person you are thanking must be absolutely correct.

On the other hand, after the initial shock, Tamabe and Hamaren gradually accepted the reality that Zoroark's life had been forcibly extended.

Although they would still marvel at the miraculous power of the Crane Crown when they saw Zoroark in action.

But having followed Luo Mu through many trials and tribulations, they didn't show any surprise or alarm.

As for the fact that Zoroark didn't even glance at the two of them...
Despite Zoroark's seemingly close relationship with Luo Mu and complete lack of wariness, he remained unfazed.

That was simply because Romulus and Zoroark had established a relationship of trust.

If the two of them dared to touch that Zoroa, they would probably be immediately enraged by Zoroa, or even directly attacked.

In essence, Zoroark is still a Pokémon species that mostly distrusts humans.

The two shrugged and decided to leave the ice cave temporarily, giving the space to Luo Mu and Zoroark.

Luo Mu could clearly feel that after Zhu Bei and Bin Lian left the ice cave, the tension in Zoroark's body, which was barely noticeable unless you looked closely, disappeared.

Using this as an excuse, he asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Should we continue moving away from here to a new home?"

After the brief exchange, with the help of the Crowned King's translator, Luo Mu roughly understood the origins of Zoroark and Zoroark.

Individuals who live in seclusion alone versus individuals who are expelled from their community because of their color.

I never expected that the two of them would have this kind of relationship.

But we definitely can't stay in this ice cave for long. Besides, once Luo Mu leaves, there's a possibility that those Manauras might come back for a surprise attack.

Although Zoroark is now full of vitality and no longer as weak as before, he has plenty of energy to wear down those cunning hunters.

But this is ultimately a troublesome matter.

Luo Mu preferred that Zoroark take Zoroark away from here to a new home they would choose themselves.

This way, I can immediately set off for Wise Lake and submit my final "test results".

However, Zoroark gave an unexpected answer at this moment.

"Zora, Zora—"

Zoroark called out to Romulus and the Crowned King several times in an almost pleading tone.

Its meaning is very simple.

It said it wanted to take Zorua with it, to follow in the footsteps of Romulus and the Crowned King, in order to repay the debt of saving its life.

"This"

Luo Mu blinked, the words that were about to come out of his throat suddenly getting stuck.

While this might sound a bit like Versailles, he genuinely never had the idea of ​​abducting Zoroark and the Zoroark family.

After all, in his mind, even if they had saved his life, it would not be so easy to incorporate this race into their ranks, given their wariness of humans.

Therefore, rather than going to great lengths to persuade Zoroark to willingly take Zoroark with him, Luo Mu prefers to first obtain the red chain in preparation for fighting the final boss.

Luo Mu's idea is indeed correct in a certain sense.

Zoroark wanted to go with Luo Mu not because of the life-saving grace, but largely because of Luo Mu's strength.

In Zoroark's view, the Romulus was the strong one who could provide them with shelter.

After experiencing that life-or-death separation, Zoroark now only wants to live a quiet life with Zoroark.

To avoid a similar situation from happening again, Luo Mu's protection is necessary.

Soroyal admits that his choice may seem scheming, but his intention to repay a debt of gratitude is undeniable.

Looking at Zoroark, who was waiting for his answer, Luo Mu pondered for a few seconds before calmly choosing to follow his heart.

"Then welcome to our big family."

As Luo Mu shook hands with Zoroark's outstretched claws once more, he subconsciously began to ponder what novel uses Zoroark might have in the modern world.

If they're so good at creating illusions, could they open a haunted house?
Pure white frozen soil, Wise Lake.

This time, unlike Emredo before, Yuxie didn't just make a hasty appearance.

Ultimately, it held back and only revealed itself when Luo Mu arrived before its shrine.

just.

When Yukshi actually saw Zoroark following behind Luo Mu with his own eyes, and Zoroark looking at him curiously, he was stunned.

Recalling the various actions Luo Mu took when he completed the test, Yu Kexi's heart was still stirred.

Your Majesty Arceus is above.

Is there a possibility.

The test I set for Luo Mu was to use his wisdom to cleverly rescue Zoroark and Zoroark from Weavile's encirclement.

Then, amidst the pursuit of a group of Weavile, he escaped with Zoroark and Zoroark through a labyrinthine ice cave, allowing them to bid each other a final farewell in a quiet place, without any regrets.

Afterwards, Luo Mu will raise the Zoroark to fulfill Zoroark's last wish.

This is how Keshi used wisdom to reverse a doomed future.

but why.

Not only did you use such a large group of Weavile as speed bumps, but you also managed to revive Zoroark, which should have been dead by now!

No, since when have tests come with the option of exceeding expectations?

Looking at the people and Pokémon in front of him, Uxie, who prided himself on his superior intelligence, fell into self-doubt for the first time.
