Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 142 Customers of Yanshan Store

Regilock was carrying stones and placing stones of different shapes in the temple to imitate common furniture such as "tables, chairs and benches".

Since it is a place for Pokémon to trade with each other, there must naturally be corresponding decorations.

Place four square stones and put a flat stone slab on top of them to form a wide and large stone table.

Use two smooth stones as stools and place them on the four sides of the table.

He moved long stones and built them into the shape of a shelf, using mud as adhesive. In this way, a stone display rack was made. Although it was not exquisite, Reggielock himself was very satisfied with it.

Stone can be carved into exquisite statues, or it can retain its original rough and bumpy appearance. Either way can fully reflect the charm of stone, and different stones will play their unique roles in different fields.

Reggielock thought of the sculptures made by Light Moss, and felt that there should be more of those exquisite statues in the temple. A rock temple naturally needed to have rock Pokémon statues, but not too many, lest they overshadowed the main attraction.

"Reggie—"

As for the merchandise, there are various evolution stones, precious, rare, and delicious stones. What else is there?
Some rock-attribute Pokémon gathered near the rock mountain ruins. They were attracted by the climate and environment of the rock mountain. The feeling was quite wonderful. The Pokémon spread the news by word of mouth and soon it spread far away.

The Geodudes appeared at the entrance of the temple. The climate and environment of the rocks and mountains made them feel calm and comfortable. The attribute energies in their bodies seemed to be growing slowly.

The letter H on Regirock's face flashed, and he saw the Geodudes who were hesitant and stopped in front of the door, not daring to come in.

These little Geodudes used to have bad tempers and were very rude. When they were angry, they would wave their fists non-stop, but now they have become very polite.

Unlike the Rumblestone that lives near cliffs and mountain trails, this Pokémon is found in forests, grasslands, deserts, and caves. It can be found everywhere except near water.

"Reggie!"

Ah, welcome, welcome, we are the first guests here!

However, the temple doesn’t have any merchandise yet!

"One stone!"

The Geodudes were a little afraid of the rock giant in front of them, but after hearing what Regirock said, they communicated with each other and seemed to have made some decision. They left half-suspended, or perhaps hopping, and the entrance of the temple became deserted again. But not long after, the Geodudes came back, bringing with them many special stones.

"One~stone!"

They expressed their wishes. They did not come here to buy goods, but wanted to settle down here. These stones were the accommodation fees.

Pokémon also trade with each other, but when surviving in the wild, their fighting instinct will make them tend to use fighting to solve certain things, so trading only occurs between weaker or less warlike Pokémon.

The Geodudes weren't originally Pokémon that were good at trading, but near this temple, their tempers gradually subsided, and they came up with the idea of trading in exchange for accommodation.

"Shashali" The characters on Regirock's face flashed.

of course!
I reached a pleasant deal with the Geodudes, and also gained something unexpectedly... "Commodity"?
These stones are of different types, probably the "food" that the Geodudes dug out from various places.

In addition to tree fruits, Pokémon like Geodude also eat stones of various qualities. Different stones have different tastes, and many rock Pokémon have the habit of eating stones or soil. For example, Geodude's evolved form, Rhydon, likes to eat mossy stones and will eat 1 ton of rocks a day. There is a Pokémon called Giraffe that will even eat a mountain-sized block of soil before it evolves.

Reggierock has some understanding of the habits of Pokémon like Geodude. After all, it lived with humans a long time ago. Ancient people would raise Geodude to carry some stones or to pickle vegetables.

It thought of the Glowing Moss on its body, which was originally planted by Light Moss to allow Regilock to move freely even on rainy days. From the appearance, its style is somewhat similar to that of its creator, Regichikas.

An exclamation mark seemed to appear above Regirock's head. It asked the Geodudes to wait for a moment, then took some harder stones, rubbed some Radiant Moss off with its stone arms, and moved it onto the stones.

These glorious mosses were cultivated with a special technique and grew very fast. They began to grow after falling on the stones, and the rich vitality surrounded the stones. The little Fist Rocks looked at this scene, and their eyes all lit up, and their appetite was aroused!

Rhydon likes to eat rocks with moss on them, and Geodudes like that too!
Moreover, after Rhydon evolved into Rhydonite, something interesting actually happened. It is said that after living for a long time, the skin of Rhydonite will be covered with moss and turn green.

The symbols on Reggie Locke's face flashed.

Use Radiant Moss to make food that Rock Pokémon likes. Wait, I originally wanted to open a convenience store, how did it become a restaurant?

Never mind, this is not bad either, food is also a kind of commodity!
"Nonsense~"

While the Geodudes were feasting on the mossy stones, a new guest appeared in front of the temple.

A tree monster. It looks like a tree, with five yellow spots on its abdomen and three green fingers on each hand, like the branches and leaves of a tree. When the tree monster came in, the first thing he saw was the glowing moss on Regirock!

"Nonsense~"

Even though this is the first time we meet, please, legendary giant, can you give me some of the moss on your body? I will do anything for you!
Reggie Locke: “.”

Looking at the strange look of the tree, Reggie Locke thought that the temple still lacked some large green plants, like potted plants. Of course, it was impossible to plant trees in the temple. In human terms, that was called indoor greening.

"Reggie—"

If you want Radiant Moss, just bring something in exchange, just like a trade.

The tree monster thought for a moment, waved his arms, and ran away. He came back after a long time, holding a stone covered with red crystals in his hand.

Regilock made a sound of permission, and then picked some Glorious Moss from his body, but Tree Monster thought that it was too little. Regilock said that it had no choice as it still needed the moss. If it wanted more moss, it would ask craftsmen outside the forest to come and cultivate it.

Moreover, if you let this moss cover your body, you will not be afraid even if it rains.

The tree monster had a surprised expression. He looked repeatedly at the glowing moss on his arm, then at the large patch of moss on Reggie Rock's body, revealing an envious look.

Having something like this is great news for rock Pokémon that are afraid of rain!

However, it was not the giants who cultivated this moss, but the craftsmen outside the forest?
The tree was slightly stunned.

At this time, one of the Geodudes nearby opened its mouth. The body of this Geodude was relatively round, which showed that it had lived for a very long time.

The craftsman outside the forest is the human who recently appeared in the forest! It has seen him before, near the shrine of Celebi!

"Reggie--" Reggie Rock told the Pokémon about the origins of the Radiant Moss and the mysterious craftsman, which surprised the Pokémon.

Are there human craftsmen who can create all kinds of powerful foods and cultivation props? Do humans still have this ability?

"Reggie—"

He is a special human craftsman. His level cannot be measured by ordinary human standards. Moreover, he is favored by the God of the Forest!

If you want to exchange something with him, you can go to the workshop outside the forest to exchange it. If you don’t dare, you can come to the Rock Mountain Temple, but you have to pay some stone materials as a fee.

The Pokémon looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought it would be better to communicate with giants than with humans. After all, giants were also Pokémon.

Although there are many Pokémon living with humans in the village outside, the habits and thinking of wild Pokémon and Pokémon living in groups with humans are completely different. The Pokémon in the forest do not intend to change their habits because of this.

Of course, it would be great if Reggie Locke could communicate with the craftsman!

Both the Sylphs and Geodudes want Radiant Moss!
Afterwards, the Geodudes hopped away to call their friends and relatives, and moved closer to the rock mountain ruins. The Tree Monster found a wall and stood there motionless. If someone with poor eyesight looked at it, they would really think it was a large potted plant used for landscaping.

As the night deepened, the Geodudes returned from visiting relatives and friends, and soon after, a powerful aura gradually appeared at the entrance of the temple, alarming Regirock.

With its body covered in orange and grey, a strange black left eye and a scarlet blood moon on its head, the giant bear tiptoed into the rocky mountain ruins, fearing that it might cause any misunderstanding this time.

However, He Yue discovered that the ruins had been restored!

The damage I caused last time was repaired so quickly. Was this also the power of that human craftsman?
“Reggie—!”

Guest? This guy is not here with good intentions!

Regirock and the Pokémon that had once carelessly destroyed the temple stared at each other!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
You want to destroy my house again? Reggie Locke showed a posture as if he was facing a great enemy, while He Yue waved his hands in panic!
"Gah!"

I'm not here to fight!

In fact, I came here to ask for help. To show my sincerity, I brought a lot of rare stones. Please, giant, tell me where the human craftsman lives! I can do anything!

He Yue begged and took out some strange stones from his fur, but just as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden powerlessness and fell down with a bang, smashing the stone table that Reggie Locke had just built to pieces!
