Not a trainer this time

Temple of the Crown, noon.

King Lei Guan stood in the center of the temple hall, with Snowstorm Horse and Ghost Horse standing on the left and right beside him, exhaling two white breaths from time to time.

They looked at the entrance of the temple as if waiting for something.

No one spoke, and there was silence all around.

I don't know how long it took, but the Snowstorm Horse seemed to be a little bored, so it dug up the ground with its hooves.

Suddenly, a harsh sound echoed in the empty and silent temple.

The ghost horse on the side let out a heavy breath, turned its head and glared at the snowstorm horse angrily, as if it was very dissatisfied with the noise it made.

"Hiss!"

The Snowstorm Horse's attention was attracted by the small hole it dug with its hooves, and it did not hear the Ghost Horse's voice.

Linyouma's face was gloomy, and a faint purple glowing mist spread over his body.

"Guan!" King Lei Guan noticed the small movements of his two beloved horses and immediately stopped their behavior.

As soon as these words came out, Snowstorm Horse and Lingyou Horse immediately calmed down and stayed by the king's side.

At this time, there was a sound of running footsteps outside.

With an energetic "I'm back!", the three Pokémon saw Naoki and Gullton running in carrying large and small bags.

With their arrival, the entire cold and silent temple immediately became lively.

King Lei Guan was a little confused: "Why did you bring so many things?"

Naoki and Gulton placed the large and small bags on the floor, then rubbed their hands and replied:

"It's not a lot. It's mainly the radish seeds prepared for the Ghost Horse and the Snowstorm Horse, as well as the food and some daily necessities I bought from the village."

With that said, Naoki opened the packages and took out all the contents.

During this trip, he almost moved out all the radish seeds in the store in Dongning Village. Not only that, he also bought a lot of fresh ingredients such as potatoes, fish, and steaks from the store.

King Lei Guan floated forward, inspected the items placed in the temple, and then told the story of the past.

"Humans in the past used these things as tributes to Gu and his two beloved horses, but Gu didn't need these things."

"Later, they discovered the preferences of the two beloved horses through observation, and they would bring radishes specially grown by them to the orphans."

Naoki asked: "Do you have anything you like to eat?"

King Lei Guan recalled it carefully: "Gu is different from other Pokémon. Gu does not need to eat to maintain this appearance. Of course, if he encounters food that Gu is interested in, Gu will also taste some."

"Oh?" Naoki raised his eyebrows curiously: "What is it?"

"An orange-red food that looks very similar to the radish that horses like to eat." Lei Guanwang said: "Gu only ate it once. It was brought back by Gu's followers from a distant city and dedicated to Gu. Xueyuan The land above cannot grow this kind of radish.”

Orange-red radish…

An image of a vegetable appeared in Naoki's mind.

Isn't that a carrot?

However, there is another thing that is more concerning, that is, the land in the Crown Snowfield can only grow ice radish and black radish?

Is it because of soil or environmental factors?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Naoki's mind. He thought about it and said to King Lei Guan:

"That kind of radish only grows outside the snowfields, and there are a lot of them in Padea."

"I see." King Lei Guan said: "It seems that the land on this side of the snowfield is different."

King Lei Guan was very puzzled. He turned to look at his beloved horse and began to think.

Naoki started to process the ingredients and prepare today's lunch.

He peeled and diced the potatoes and stewed them in the pot with the diced meat.

There are not many ingredients on the snowfield, and the variety is far less rich than on the pasture.

In addition, the climate here is cold and the environment is difficult. At this time, it would be perfect if we could have a pot of fragrant and hot potato stew.

The potatoes and meat stew are soft and delicious, the soup is rich, and the air is filled with the aroma of meat. Just thinking about it makes people drool.

Naoki couldn't help but swallow, then lit the bonfire, hung up the pot and started stewing.

While waiting for lunch to be finished, he took out the needle and thread he bought from the village, the ghost horse's mane and the flower of glory from his backpack, and began to sew the second rein of King Lei Guan.

Gu Luton and Motor Lizard were lying next to Zhishu, and opposite them floated King Lei Guan and his two beloved horses.

When Naoki was sewing the reins, they stood there and watched silently, watching the process of the blue-purple mane gradually transforming into a rein in Naoki's hands.

The warm bonfire reflected in King Lei Guan's eyes. His expression was no longer as majestic as it was at the beginning, but instead gave people a sense of elegance.

Soon, most of the reins were sewn.

"Next, I have to sing with gratitude." Naoki thought to himself.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw King Lei Guan looking at him gracefully.

This made Naoki feel a little embarrassed.

"Well... there is the most important step next. This process cannot be disturbed by others. I need to complete it alone." Naoki began to talk nonsense seriously.

King Lei Guan was stunned, then he chuckled and nodded: "I understand, I will take my beloved horse out for a walk."

After that, King Lei Guan rode on the snowstorm horse, followed by a ghost horse, and left the temple in a leisurely manner.

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

After he could no longer see the figure of King Lei Guan, he began to take the last step - singing.

"The flowers are rolled up roundly~"

"Pick up your mane and present it to my king~"

After singing, Naoki turned his head and saw Guluton and Motorized Lizard staring at him.

Naoki: "...Don't tell anyone, you know?"

Gu Ledun: "Ah, geez..." (I got it...)

Motorcycle Lizard: "Gah!" (Oooh!)

Naoki felt relieved now.

When he looked at the reins in his hands again, a faint light glowed from them.

This means that the second tying rein is completed!

Five minutes later, King Leicester came back from a stroll on horseback.

Naoki handed him the completed binding reins.

King Lei Guan lowered his head and looked grateful.

He didn't speak, but held the reins and rode on the ghost horse.

Following a flash of light, a purple light burst out from the bodies of King Lei Guan and Linyou Ma.

When the reins and the ghost horse were completely integrated, the cloak behind King Lei Guan became longer.

The Linyou Horse also experienced changes. More mist floated from its limbs, and even covered the floor of the temple, making the Linyou Horse look like it was stepping on the void, and its whole body was exuding a coquettish purple light. .

After a while, the purple mist was taken back into the spirit horse's body.

King Lei Guan was riding on its back, with the king's cloak swinging gently behind him. His expression was majestic, but his eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Naoki in front of him.

"Thanks to you, Gu has now regained the strength he had in his prime."

"I thought I was no longer believed by humans, and lost my beloved horse to accompany me, so I wandered alone in the abyss of loneliness. It was you who pulled me out of the abyss."

"The so-called endless gratitude and nothing to repay, probably refers to my feelings towards you at this moment!"

"Naoki, from now on, I will ask for your advice."
