Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 424 The positions of the Four Heavenly Kings are still vacant.
Half a day later.

As the sun set again, on her way to the Bakegu Cave, Huangbo encountered a beautiful woman with green hair dressed as a man, riding a goat.

Actually, it was the other party who stopped him.

Of course, how could Huang Bo not recognize her!

As a fighter from Padia, I often travel between Béguy Town and Circle Town, and I have encountered the person in front of me more or less!
Huang Bo: "Hey! Isn't this Miss Xin Li? Long time no see!"

Xinli: "Oh, it's been so long. Ah, I remember now, you're Huang Bo, right? You're Lip's friend, a famous fighter from around here!"

Huang Bo: "That's right, I'm on my way back to Beigu Town right now, and I'm also on my way to find the Fierce Chili Pepper and collect the legendary chili pepper essence. Is there something you want to do by stopping me?"

Xinli wiped her sweat with a handkerchief:

"Phew, I'm exhausted. Since we couldn't find any trace of it, we couldn't take the flying taxi. Luckily, I had a goat to ride."

"What's the matter? Yes, excuse me, have you seen a trainer sitting in an unidentified flying object?"

"That flying object might look like this."

Xin Li held up a piece of drawing paper she carried with her, on which was a scribbled drawing of something that looked like a UFO.

Huang Bo frowned: "Huh? What is this? An alien spaceship?"

Xinli was a little embarrassed: "Uh, they are somewhat similar, but they shouldn't be the same thing. Based on the information we have, it might be a Pokémon."

"The eyewitness only saw it from a distance. Don't worry about the quality of the drawing; the important thing is the content of the drawing!"

As Huang Bo watched, she suddenly blinked.

The outline of this thing is somewhat similar to...
Oh right, it was among those Pokémon, that giant steel bug that looked like it had been modified!
However, the insect and the UFO only share a similar head.

Could it be that? !

Will it deform?

Xin Li: "Hmm? What are you muttering about?"

"No, no, no." Huangbo looked into the distance with some suspicion: "Speaking of strange trainers, I did encounter one. He seemed to be a traveler from Unova, and he was on his way to Deepboil Town."

"He was accompanied by many Pokémon, each of which was very powerful. I even battled him, but unfortunately I lost."

"Hmm, the one I'm fighting is a Tanjiro. And the flying object in your picture looks a bit like one of the Pokémon."

Xin Li suddenly became excited:
"Unova, Travelers, UFOs, and Samurai! That's right, those are them!"

"You mean he's going to Shenbo Town?! That means he's going to the arts festival, right? That's it! This guy really is an artist!"

"Look at this news report, then take another look, is this the person?"

Xinli activated the Pokémon Device, bypassing the Padilla news section filled with food advertisements and huge buffet discounts, and switched to the Unova region's news webpage.

One of the top headlines was about someone taking control of the Black Skyscraper, a major obstacle for Unown. Although many days have passed, it is still trending on social media.

"what?!"

Huang Bo stared blankly: "Is this some kind of amazing facility?"

“You don’t understand?” Xin Li sighed, then her expression turned very serious.
"The so-called Black Skyscraper is a challenge in the Unova region, a kind of facility designed to overcome obstacles!"

"Such rigorous facilities exist in many regions: the Battle Frontiers of Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh; the Black Skyscraper in the Unova region; the Battle Fortress in Kalos; and even in the distant Alola, there is said to be a peculiar location called the Battle Tree. These are all places renowned for their rigorous battles!"

"It is precisely because of the existence of these facilities that the average level of trainers in other regions far surpasses that of our region!"

"It is said that all the Gym Leaders inside are at least at the level of Gym Leaders, and the higher-level ones are even at the Elite Four level!"

"This guy is the gatekeeper of Zone 10! In other words, he's even stronger than Xin Li, one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Huang Bo was startled, then somewhat confused: "Indeed! When I fought him, I could feel his true energy. He seemed to be a very powerful martial artist."

"But why are you looking for him? Did he violate some law of Parthia?"

Xin Li held her forehead and took a deep breath:
"On the contrary, such a capable person has come here."

"Actually, it's not that I want to find him, but that the champion wants to find him."

"do you know."

"Although we have been trying our best to select candidates, there are still vacancies in the four Heavenly Kings positions in the alliance. So far, we have not found anyone with the combat power to match the Heavenly King level."

"Now that such a formidable fighting force has emerged, how could the Chief not be tempted!"

"In other words, we need to extend an important invitation to this gatekeeper!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Is it in Shenbo Town? I understand." "Please go to Shenbo Town immediately, I beg you, Xinli, I may need some more time to get there."

"To show our sincerity, no matter what conditions he offers, we should tell him that we can accept them all."

"Furthermore, according to my latest investigation, he is not only the gatekeeper of the tenth district, nor just an artist, but also appears to be an excellent Pokémon researcher."

"Of course, most importantly, he is the mysterious craftsman who sold you the goods before."

Within the Pokémon Device, Sinri's voice sounded somewhat noisy, but one could hear the shock in it.

However, this was exactly the reaction Ye Ci wanted to see on the other end of the phone.

"You must be surprised too, such outstanding talents are rare in any region."

"He is proficient in multiple fields, a master of combat studies, an excellent researcher, and even handles other jobs."

"Professor Oak, renowned in the research community; three legendary battling figures from Pallet Town; Adam and Mr. Wallace from Hoenn; and the Champion and Elite Four member of the Sinnoh region."

"Now, another person like that has appeared."

Ye Ci's words were very firm.

The newly formed Padiya League is severely lacking in manpower.

Although the Padiya region is not lacking in outstanding young people.

Every year, many students leave Tabletop City, but very few can become equals to the powerful trainers, researchers, and investigators from other regions.

This seems like a paradox, after all, the College of Padia is one of the most prestigious and oldest schools in the world!
Such an old school should have accumulated countless talents over the past eight hundred years!
But things didn't go as planned.

Furthermore, there seem to be occasional strange and unpleasant rumors circulating within the college, such as bullying.
"Why is it that an 800-year-old school can't compare to prestigious universities like Yuhong University, Feiyun University, and Shuanglong Academy? Is it because the school's atmosphere has gone astray?"

"We should remind Mu Fei to thoroughly investigate the situation within the school and among the students."

"Despite being a school with a long and distinguished history, it has failed to produce any particularly outstanding talents. Of course, it may also be because the climate in the Parthian region is suitable for living, and people prefer a simple and peaceful life. But this is not conducive to the development of the alliance."

Ye Ci muttered to himself and sighed.

Yes, the climate in Padiyaa is very pleasant.

Furthermore, there are no organizations like Team Rocket, Team Magma, or Team Aqua here, nor is there the excessive freedom of Unova that led to the rampant growth of mysterious organizations.

Although there are legends of ancient treasures here, research on Zone Zero has always been led by the Academy and the Alliance.

At least for now, there is no such nonsensical organization.

Ye Ci is indeed doing something big right now.

She is currently accompanying a Pokémon professor from the Unova region, as well as an Elite Four member from another region, on a survey in the northeastern region of Padilla.

I learned those messages from Dr. Yew in front of me!
"If what you say is true, a Pokémon named Servantus has indeed been found here."

"Then, I hope that you, Doctor, can publish this research as part of a collaborative research project with the Padiya region."

"After all, this is a new evolutionary form that could only emerge in the Padiya region due to ecological pressures."

For researchers, actively seeking opportunities to collaborate and publish their findings is a common characteristic.

International academic journals often have a greater influence, not only in foreign regions but also in their own.

It is also hoped that through this ecological survey, scholars in the Padilla region will be able to shift some of their focus to ecological research on local Pokémon.

Although he had encountered a researcher like Ginja before, he had to continue working there because of the research on crystallization.

However, recently, Dr. Orin has been publishing fewer and fewer journal articles.

Perhaps it's time for some researchers to be removed from the research team?

Speaking of which, the Padia region has a rich and pristine natural environment, yet no Pokémon Rangers have been assigned there. Yaji is also considering whether to apply to the Ranger League.

Dr. Yew observed the fierce battle between the Slashing Commander Legion and the Skilled Blacksmith Legion not far away through his binoculars, and chuckled:
"It's okay, the importance of collaboration in publishing papers and journals is self-evident."

"Collaborative publication allows experts and scholars from different fields to work together, integrate their research results, and form more innovative and influential research results."

"Our work as researchers is to expand the reach of our research findings, gain wider recognition and dissemination within academic circles, and make the ecology of Pokémon more widely known."

"However, I am not the first author."

Dr. Yew blinked: "Since we're going to invite him, let's ask about this matter at the same time."

"After all, it was he who told us about evolution."
