Adventurer of the Elf World

And Xiu discovered that it was actually injured after the pustules burst, but it was covered by all kinds of filth and could not be seen.

After a short cleaning, Xiu asked Casey to withdraw his ability and said to it: "I don't mean to hurt you. If you can, please tell me what happened to cause you to become like this."

Gotha Duck could feel that the power that trapped it disappeared, and the human in front of it was defenseless again.

But it did not attack, and the look in its eyes when it looked at Xiu was no longer the hatred it had before, but a little confused.

It seemed that it did not understand Xiu's behavior.

Why did it catch itself, but then let it go? And treat itself like this...

A drop of water condensed on the edge of the duck's mouth and seeped into its mouth.

The clear and sweet taste was rediscovered from memory.

How long has it been?

Gotha Duck was a little confused. It could not remember how long it had been since it had been in contact with clean water.

Just thinking about those things made its throat dry, and it unconsciously smacked its duckbill.

"Hey~"

Gotha Duck looked over and saw the human holding out another bottle of water.

Looking at the clear and clean water in his hand, Gotha Duck felt like his throat was on fire, which made it even more unbearable. It subconsciously reached out to take it, but suddenly realized that it was a human.

The hand that was stretched out stopped in the middle.

"Take it~" Xiu pushed his hand forward with a smile on his face.

Aware of the kindness of the human opposite, Gotha Duck's hand that was stopped in the middle tentatively stretched forward, and shrank back when it touched the water bottle. When he found that he had no more movements, he took the water bottle.

After the water bottle left his hand, Xiu found that Gotha Duck's attention was no longer around him.

It held the water bottle like a pilgrim, staring at the slightly rippling clear water in it, and the expression on its face was full of yearning and desire.

But just when Xiu wanted to touch it, a noisy sound suddenly sounded in the distance. The Gotha Duck seemed to be awakened and looked over there, with a vigilant look in its eyes.

Then it moved its eyes to Xiu, and then turned around and jumped into the filthy river.

Xiu slowly watched it dive into the water, but did not make any more moves.

It is not a simple thing to contact the elves, especially if you want to gain their trust and let them recognize you. Violence is not advisable. This needs to be done slowly...

Xiu's previous actions have already gained some trust. If you want to stop it by force, there will be a conflict.

Xiu was too concerned about the departure of the Gotha Duck, and instead looked into the distance. There appeared a team of more than ten people, walking along the river bank.

Xiu mentioned these people in the previous chat with Joey.

They are factory people, and they came together to inspect the pipelines.

This has to do with the Gotha Duck. Before, many factories stopped working because it damaged the pipelines, so the factory owners organized people to inspect the river bank in batches.

At first, there were only three or five of them, but the Gotha Duck was too slippery, and the few people had no way to catch it. However, these few were also fakes, just like the one Xiu encountered before.

Xiu did not sneer at this, but expressed understanding.

After all, no one wanted to face such a poisonous elf, especially at their level, even if they went together, it would be useless.

He roughly understood the level of these people, and if they really went up, they would die.

Xiu did not stay here for too long, and went to another place in the city.

Hospital.

As expected, it was similar to his previous guess. It was very lively here.

Xiu wandered around and chatted with some patients.

Most of these patients were suffering from various diseases derived from insufficient industrial protection and environmental pollution.

Just knowing Xiu a little bit, he felt the horror. Most of these diseases were impossible to cure, and some would even affect the next generation.

Some people here still have money for treatment, and more people have no money to go to the hospital for treatment, waiting to die at home or in a corner.

After obtaining the consent of the patients, Xiu took out a camera to record their conditions in the hospital.

When he left the hospital, he felt a little heavy.

It was dark when he returned to the Pokémon Center. There was only a faint light in the empty hall of the Pokémon Center.

The door was closed, and there was no working hours like other Pokémon Centers.

Xiu walked straight to the corridor without any courtesy.

At a glance, only the treatment room was still lit. When he approached through the glass, Xiu saw Miss Joy studying something under the light.

Xiu did not intend to hide his whereabouts, so he swaggered in.

But even if he walked behind her, she could not turn back.

Xiu glanced and found that they were several different toxin analysis forms.

She was still studying this at this time. It seems that this Joy is not as lazy as she pretends.

"I thought you would not care about this after get off work~"

"What's the matter?" Miss Joy turned to look at Xiu, with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"No kidding, I'm going to talk about business." Xiu restrained his expression and told her what he found in the hospital.

"Ah~ Even if you knew, what can we do? You don't think we didn't try, do you? But the final result was that Junsha and Joey withdrew from here."

Miss Joy looked at him calmly and asked, "What else can you do?"

"Do what I can do." Xiu said calmly without being shaken by her words.

Miss Joy was also a little helpless when she saw this, so she had to turn around and look at the reports.

But then there was a sentence.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Xiu looked at her back and grinned, then asked about the situation in Black Cloud City.

And it was from this that Xiu understood why Joy had decided to give up, but she was still stationed here.

Because her mother was Joy here before, she grew up here since she was a child, and she also saw the development and changes here.

So after the decision to evacuate was made, she applied to stay.

According to Miss Joy, the development here has only been more than ten years. Before that, it was just a small city, but it was also prosperous and rich near the dock and port.

Until more than ten years ago, the old power plant was abandoned due to technical reasons, and the new power plant was located here.

Originally, the local people did not react much, this was too far away from their lives.

Even when the power plant was completed, not many people knew about it until some factories appeared.

But it was nothing at the beginning. On the contrary, local people got more jobs and their economic conditions improved.
