Adventurer of the Elf World

This kind of smell is very normal in the jungle, so there is no problem.

Because Professor Oak has entered it first.

Xiu followed behind and squeezed into the crack of the door. As soon as he entered, he found that the interior was not dark like an ordinary closed building, but there was a faint light.

Looking up along the light, it was the skylight of the temple, arranged in several corners, and this did not attract Xiu's attention.

What is really interesting is the large smooth crystals inlaid on those skylights.

I don't know what kind of technology this is, but it can refract the light from the outside through the crystal and become a product like a light bulb.

Of course, there is still some loss, and the brightness of the whole hall is definitely not as good as outside, but you can see the general idea.

Xiu just glanced and knew that this hall has occupied most of the space of the temple.

Opposite the door of the hall is an altar made of stones, on which are statues of the Phoenix King standing one by one, and this thing is still colorful. It must have been made by someone who has really seen the Phoenix King.

"This is the temple dedicated to the Phoenix King~"

Xiu's words were not a question, but a statement, with a tone of "as expected".

This place does not look dilapidated, and it is obvious that Professor Oak has been maintaining and repairing it.

When Xiao Mao came here, he went into the back mountain with Professor Oak, and he must have come here.

"Yes, our Oak family has always been the temple priests, and the residents of the entire Pallet Town at that time also believed in the Phoenix King.

This is a profession that has been passed down for thousands of years. You should know about the worship era."

Xiu listened to what Professor Oak said and understood what he meant.

At that time, humans were just struggling to survive in this world, so many humans would seek protection from powerful elves, thus giving birth to a series of worship civilizations.

And these civilizations are also the builders of many temple-like ruins in the world.

For example, the frozen bird and the twin islands he had encountered before.

Don't think it's fun. In order to beg for power, those people will frantically please the guardian. These ancient sacrificial rituals are quite bloody, and it is normal to sacrifice living people.

If you believe in the likes of Tyrannosaurus, you have to offer prey frequently, and humans were also one of the prey in that era...

Anyway, that era was more barbaric and bloody than now, and it was not something worth yearning for.

"I don't know why the Phoenix King became the god of Pallet Town. Those things happened too long ago, but from the family records, it seems that Pallet Town lived well under the protection of the Phoenix King.

Our Ohki family was blessed by the Phoenix King because of the status of priests, and generations will awaken various magical powers, such as extraordinary energy, extraordinary intelligence, extraordinary physique, telepathy, etc. There are also some records that our family has had the power of resurrection.

And these allowed the residents of Pallet Town to survive in this world until more than three hundred years ago..."

As Dr. Oak told the story, Xiu finally understood why Pallet Town is so bad now, and the Oak family is also declining.

After all, the Phoenix King is a first-level god, and it is still a relatively mysterious one.

This has to start from the war that year.

The town of Pallet was peaceful and prosperous, but the Poklantis army pushed forward. The priest at that time judged that he could not defeat them, so he decisively used the rainbow feathers given by the Phoenix King to beg the guardian god to come to help.

The Phoenix King arrived as promised and burned all the small fish in one bite.

However, the supplies left by the army made those people at that time have evil thoughts. They looted a wave and hid it. After hiding it from the coalition forces, the conflict broke out.

The reason is very simple. Dividing the spoils has always been a simple matter, especially since people at that time had never seen so much money. Anyway, many people died in the end before they calmed down.

At this time, the Oki family, as a priest, discovered that the sacred object [Rainbow Feather] enshrined in the temple had self-destructed into ashes, and the power of blessing on the townspeople began to fade, and at the same time they lost their response to the Phoenix King's begging.

At this time, those people found that they were abandoned by the Phoenix King, or they abandoned the Phoenix King.

Although most people decided to hide the money and divide the spoils, the priests, the Oki family, took the blame and were accused of losing the Phoenix King because of their improper service, which led to the resistance of those people.

This is not the end. After losing the protection of the Phoenix King, they became weak and powerless. The previous prosperity seemed to have overdrawn the lives of this group of survivors, and the town declined rapidly in a short period of time.

As a priest, the Oki family also began to lose talents. The children born did not awaken various powers at all. Even if they awakened some abilities, they would quickly fade away with age. These children were weaker than normal and had a very high mortality rate.

This was called divine punishment at the time, and it was the punishment they suffered for blaspheming the gods.

These people did not try to struggle. They once sent elite patrol teams to enter the holy mountain to beg for forgiveness.

But the elves of that era were not at the level of today, and the people at that time did not have the strength of today, let alone going deep into the wilderness far away from human gatherings.

Not to mention that the Pure White People at that time had just experienced several major events and were already injured.

As expected, all the pilgrims who entered the cave disappeared without a trace.

After several times, those people completely stopped thinking about it.

The older generation was able to survive the internal struggle and swallowed up a lot of money. None of these people were clean. They unanimously decided to keep silent and chose to seal up the things of the past. The temple dedicated to the Phoenix King also disappeared in the dense forest under deliberate cover-up.

Only the Oki family, as the priests, did not give up. They still worshipped and maintained this place, and also passed down the things of the past by word of mouth.

Fortunately, after three generations, the situation of premature death was alleviated, and some lucky ones could even awaken some abilities, but only two or three big cats and kittens were left in the Oki family.

It must be said that the Oki family was still a little lucky. When the town of Pallet Shin became more and more difficult, a Oki Pallet Shin gave the town a life.

After the name change, it completely abandoned the pure white glory and became an ordinary town.

And those old generations died, only the Oki family was still spreading this story. When Dr. Oak learned the truth, he was the only one left here.

Professor Oak could only take over the responsibility of his ancestors, inherit and maintain this place. At the same time, unlike his ancestors, he refused to accept his fate.

So he simply changed his job from a trainer to a researcher, and went to various ruins to study what this thing was like.

Not to mention, he really made some achievements, otherwise his son and grandchildren would not be alive and kicking now.
