Guardian of the Spirit

November 5th.

On this day, the sea area in the Hezhong area was very lively. The sea surface and the sky were filled with manned water elves and flying elves.

People from the elven world and all over Blue Star gathered in the Hezhong Sea area, waiting for the temple to appear.

It is not a big secret that Meloetta's temple is about to open. All countries and forces have sent representatives here regardless of their attitude towards Meloetta.

Some old acquaintances met at sea and even chatted directly.

"roar--"

Suddenly, hundreds of dragon roars spread throughout a small half of the sea area.

Everyone on the sea looked sideways and saw hundreds of uniform dragon elves flying past in a mighty manner, like a team of well-trained soldiers.

These dragon elves are menacing and have a fierce look on their faces. The person standing on the back of the dragon elves also has a fierce look. You can tell at a glance that they are not easy to mess with.

"There are so many dragon elves, who are they?"

"The dragon-controlling lineage of Tao in the Hezhong region."

"Looks like this, are they here to attack Meloetta?"

"I guess so. After all, most of the forces in the United Region were attacked by Meloetta two thousand years ago. The ancestors of the Tao Dragon Control lineage were the victims. It makes sense that they want to settle the accounts from a thousand years ago."

"Do you think they can defeat Meloetta? I heard that Meloetta can summon the three legendary cloud gods in the Hezhu region, the three cloud gods. Those are real elves who have stepped into the realm of legends.

"

"Who knows, our country doesn't plan to join the war anyway. They can fight as they like. The worst is that we should run away before the war starts."

Everyone was talking a lot.

Not only the Taoist Dragon Lineage, but also all the countries and forces in the Hezhu region have elven armies present. Their attitude is very clear. They are here to start a war. There is no need to even guess.

The sea was crowded with elves and people, and Jiang Yuan was still slowly making tea on Longyue Island.

"It's really lively today."

Jiang Yuan looked into the distance and saw several flying elves flying across the sky from time to time.

"No, Meloetta, which has disappeared for two thousand years, has reappeared. Whether they are spectators or people with other purposes, they are all here."

Xiao Xing, who was sitting opposite Jiang Yuan, took a sip of tea.

"Okay, I've done the math. At least half of the people who got involved today will never come back."

Ren Xingxian slapped the table and stood up.

"Is it accurate? I remember you said that it's impossible to calculate the fate of too many people together."

Mu Shifan on the other side was skeptical.

"Aren't you allowed to get stronger?"

Being questioned about his calculation ability, Ren Xingxian couldn't sit still. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to count a big vote to prove his strength.

"Okay, stop, stop, forget this guy is here, why are you two here too?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xiao Xing and Mu Shifan.

Ren Xingxian knew that the Hezhong Sea area was very lively today, so he made a noise in advance and said that he would come to Longyue Island across the sea to watch a show, and by the way, he could calculate the fate of the people on the stage.

Xiao Xing and Mu Shifan, the two Latios masters, were completely uninvited guests.

"I have a hunch that secrets will definitely be revealed today. How can there be a place without me if there are secrets? I just happen to know that Ogyue Island is your territory and is located in the Hezhong Sea, so I'll come over here."

Intelligence dealer Xiao Xing was cheerful.

"Aren't you afraid of risking your life by going out to collect intelligence yourself?"

Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

"Of course I'm not taking action personally. I'm just here to watch the show and collect first-hand information. I've already sent out the eavesdropping elves."

Xiao Xingdao.

He is not a person with super powers. If he participates in an event that is likely to break out into a war, isn't that asking for death?

After Jiang Yuan heard this, he stopped talking and turned his eyes to Mu Shifan.

"I heard from Xiao Xing that he was coming to your place. It happened that I wanted to talk to you about genetically modified tree fruits, so I came with him."

Mu Shifan explained.

The genetically modified tree fruits made by Kuchiki Demon are of high quality and sell well. As a young man from a tree fruit family, Mu Shifan sees the value of genetically modified tree fruits.

After learning from Xiao Xingna that the genetically modified tree fruits were produced by Jiang Yuan, Mu Shifan always wanted to come to Jiang Yuan to exchange the technology of planting and transforming tree fruits.

As for Meloetta's matter, Mu Shifan had no intention of getting involved.

The Mu family is neutral and just stands on the sidelines. They will not be hostile to Meloetta, but they will not be kind to Meloetta either.

"Can we talk about genetically modified tree fruits? Yes, but we have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I have something to do today."

Jiang Yuan said truthfully.

"Is something wrong?"

All three of them stared at Jiang Yuan with strange eyes.

Today is the day when the temple is opened. By coincidence, something happened, which forced the three of them to think too much.

"If you have anything fun to do, take me with you! Are you going to the temple? I can help!"

Jiang Tong slipped in from nowhere, with a wicked smile on his face, making people very suspicious whether he wanted to help or was trying to do harm.

"Nothing is fun, it is fatal."

Jiang Yuan looked calm.

"No matter what you want to do, I'm determined to follow you."

Jiang Tong is a typical little trickster who wants to get involved in everything. It is completely unreasonable to rely on Jiang Yuan.

"If you can keep up, then I have no problem with it."

Jiang Yuan didn't care what Jiang Tong wanted. Anyway, if he teleported away, Jiang Tong would go find him in his dream.

After Jiang Tong pestered Jiang Yuan, he immediately ran to harm the Latios. He took out all kinds of strange things to seduce the three Latios and asked them if they wanted to change their masters.

Poaching someone in person is extremely bad in nature.

"Okay, I'm leaving. If you need anything, just ask Ai Guanshi to cook for you. If you're hungry, ask Ai Guanshi to cook for you. Or you can go to Jiang Lin or this guy."

Jiang Yuan pointed at Jiang Tong. At the end, Jiang Yuan added: "Remember not to run around outside the villa area. There are many killing arrays set up on the island to trap and kill the enemy. If you hang in there, then

I have no idea."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan immediately moved away without Jiang Tong reacting.

Jiang Tong was so angry that he wanted to follow up and cause trouble. However, his super power level was far inferior to Jiang Yuan's current level. In addition, Latios and other elves released super powers to interfere, and he even looked for Jiang Yuan's figure.

Less than.

…

"So many people."

Jiang Yuan rode Latios and soared over the sea.

With superpowers to shield him, no one or elf has discovered Jiang Yuan's trace for the time being.

"Where is the temple and where should I fly?"

Latios suddenly raised a soul question.

"Uh, I don't know either."

Jiang Yuan scratched his head.

Latios: "..."

You don’t even know if you co-authored it!

"Should I open the temple first and then heal, or should I heal first and then open the temple after Meloetta wakes up."

"..."

How does it know.

One person and one elf suddenly fell into silence.

Awkward!

Fortunately, Meloetta is quite reliable, and when Jiang Yuan was at a loss, its clone came to the door.

【I'm here, follow me.】

A huge gem starfish and Meloetta's clone emerged from the sea.

Then, the gem starfish dived into the sea and led the way.

After diving no matter how many meters to the bottom of the sea, Jiang Yuan finally saw the temple of Meloetta in a bottomless trench.

The temple stands on a cliff in the trench, covered with seaweed and covered with thick sand. More than half of the temple is embedded in the cliff of the trench.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to spot a temple here.

"Why don't you clean it up?"

Jiang Yuan, who has a slight mysophobia, found such a dirty temple distasteful.

[I want to clean it too, but I can’t clean it now. If I clean it, it will be easily discovered by outsiders.]

Meloetta's clone said, flew to the door of the temple, and tapped forward slightly.

Boom, crunch.

The door of the temple has not been opened for a long time. Now when it is opened, it makes all kinds of strange friction sounds, which makes people feel goosebumps. It is like the rustling sound made when scratching the tea set with fingernails.

Gem Starfish closed the door of the temple and stood guard outside to prevent outsiders from entering the temple and interfering with Jiang Yuan's treatment of Meloetta's true form.

The interior of the temple was also filled with sea water. Meloetta led Jiang Yuan and Latios into the depths of the temple.

Yes, Gone with the Wind.

Meloetta's clone is a mixture of superpowers and partial consciousness. In a sense, it has no entity and relies entirely on superpowers to move forward in the water.

It was similar on Jiang Yuan's side. Latios' super power was in front of him, separating the sea water, and he used his super power to move forward against the resistance of the sea water.

When he arrived at the deepest inner hall of the temple, Jiang Yuan found that the outside of the inner hall was wrapped in a strange opaque superpower, blocking out all sea water.

Passing through the superpower barrier, Jiang Yuan entered the inner hall and saw clearly what was inside.

The inner hall is magnificent, with twenty or thirty stone pillars standing in the hall, supporting the entire inner hall.

The thick stone pillars are carved with various strange patterns, including birds and animals, as well as scenes of human sacrifices.

These patterns form lifelike paintings, which seem to tell the history of the temple and make people immersed in it.

"Xia Yuxin?"

Glancing at the inner hall, Jiang Yuan immediately noticed the only human being in the inner hall.

This person was Xia Yuxin, a popular singer with whom he had met several times.

"We meet again."

Xia Yuxin smiled.

"Hey, is that Meloetta's true form?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted by another thing in the inner hall.

In the center of the inner hall is a giant ice block two meters high, with a petite elf vaguely visible in the ice.

If Jiang Yuan hadn't guessed, this was the real body of Meloetta who was seriously injured and sleeping.

"Yes, that is Meloetta's true form. It has not fully awakened and is still frozen."

Xia Yu thought.

"Why are you here?"

After confirming the condition of Perfect Loyetta, Jiang Yuan turned to look at Xia Yuxin.

He is here to treat Meloetta, and what is Xia Yuxin here for? Is it possible that she also has a grass-type slate in her hand?

"I am the current guardian of Meloetta."

Xia Yuxin explained the reason why she appeared inside the temple.

Jiang Yuan paused and remembered when he met Meloetta in the Galar region.

At that time, Jiang Tong was going to watch Xia Yuxin's concert, and he was pulled over. Then he met Meloetta, who was attracted by Xia Yuxin's singing.

So, that’s when they got along?

Jiang Yuan shook his head and dismissed the thoughts in his mind.

Why are you thinking so much? It has nothing to do with him. It’s more important to do business now.

"How to treat it?"

Jiang Yuan asked.

"Just inject the power of the grass attribute holy object directly into the ice cube."

Xia Yuxin said this and stepped back.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan released the rotten wood demon and threw the grass-type stone slab to the rotten wood demon, letting it activate the grass-type stone slab.

The rotten wood demon hugs the grass-type stone slab, activates the grass-type stone slab by activating the grass-type energy in the body, and then drives the power of the grass-type stone slab into the ice.

Jiang Yuan has a superpower slate in his hand, which has a better healing effect on Meloetta, who has both normal and superpower attributes.

But Jiang Yuan didn't take out the superpower slate. He couldn't completely trust Meloetta and had to keep a trump card to avoid being sold and counting money.

Oh no, I'm helping the elf count money.

"How long will it take for your body to fully wake up?"

Jiang Yuan raised his head and stared at Meloetta's clone in mid-air.

[At the current speed, it will take twelve hours. 】

"It's so slow."

【So we need help from another person, she should be here soon.】

The waiting process was boring. Latios was flying around in the inner hall, while Jiang Yuan walked to the ice cubes and inspected them.

For some reason, Jiang Yuan felt that the energy of this ice cube seemed familiar.

"This is...the ice stone slab, no, it's the power of the ice coffin!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened slightly.

The power of the ice stone slab can freeze everything and has powerful lethality.

Although the ice coffin contains the power of ice-based stone slabs, it incorporates part of the power of time, resulting in the lethality of ice-based energy not being that strong.

Compared with pure ice stone slabs, the ice coffin with the power of time is softer and can freeze the living body's freezing time to delay injuries.

The ice that freezes Meloetta possesses the special power of the ice coffin that combines ice slabs and time.

"After Master Jinghu rescues you, he freezes you to help delay your injuries?"

Jiang Yuan left the ice and came to Meloetta's clone.

[Well, thanks to her power of time, I can slowly recover from the injuries I suffered thousands of years ago. 】

Meloetta nodded.

"Bi~"

Celebi came out of the different space. He looked down at the ice coffin of the frozen Meloetta, showing an expression as expected.

The owner of Jinghu Lake is either a spirit companion whose companion spirit is Celebi, or a Celebi who can transform into a human form.

Celebi is particularly sensitive to the power of time. He has explored the ice coffin, which contains the unique power of time of the Celebi family.

Therefore, Celebi can be sure that there must be other Celebi involved in the creation of the ice coffin, giving the ice coffin the power of time.

Celebi suddenly regretted that his wish seemed to have been used too hastily. Jiang Yuan should have asked Jiang Yuan to take him to Jinghu Lake to meet the owner of Jinghu Lake.

Maybe the other party is one of its tribesmen.

【who?】

Meloetta is a superpower elf with very keen senses. Even if its body is not fully awakened, it can still feel the presence of uninvited guests in the temple.

After all, this is the interior of the temple, the territory of Meloetta.

"It's my elf. It's good at invisibility. It usually stays in a different space. It might come out when it finds something interesting. Don't panic if you can't find it."

Jiang Yuan did not expose Celebi’s identity.

In front of outsiders, Celebi often hides himself and does not let others see him.

In Meloetta's current semi-awake state, she could detect the intrusion of an elf, but she was unable to determine what elf it was.
