Chapter 364: The Operating Mechanism of Regiace and the Apparition and Farewell of the King of Plenty

After a big meal, I felt sleepy.

Spending the night outdoors in a snowy valley is really a bit too much. The temperature here remains steadily below zero, and cold winds blow from time to time. Even if you have just drunk a lot of hot soup, you will definitely not be able to endure it.

So with the help of the Pokémon, Luo Mu set up a tent for camping in the wild.

After a while, a tent that could accommodate one to three people was set up. Luo Mu put most of the sleepy Pokémon back into the Poké Balls, leaving only Windy, Roentgen, and Victini as large heat-source pillows and hand warmers for him to sleep.

The Rape Crown King held Cosmogu, who was already fast asleep, in his arms. After Luo Mu had built the tent, he curiously asked, "Luo Mu, what is this?"

The isolated Bell Crown King has a different era and all familiar things have disappeared, so it has a curiosity to learn many things.

Knowing this, Luo Mu took the trouble to explain it to King Lei Guan.

"This is a tent. Humans of this era would travel as trainers. When in the wild, tents could be used as shelter from the wind and rain and as a place to rest. Since they don't take up much space when folded, they are easy to carry."

As if afraid that King Raphim didn't fully understand, Luo Mu took out another tent of his that was even more worn out and had obviously been through a lot of wind and sun, and gave an explanation and demonstration.

Ragnarök remembered that when she was ruling Galar, humans were also able to invent things that Pokémon like her had never thought of.

It exclaimed in admiration: "We can carry a mobile home with us. Humans are really getting better and better."

As expected of a psychic-type Pokémon known for its quick mind, Budcrown was able to accurately understand the key role of the tent after just one explanation from Luo Mu.

In its view, this kind of prop that can shelter from wind and rain in the open air is indeed crucial for humans with slightly weaker physical fitness.

Before crawling into the tent where Windy Dog, Roentgen Cat, and Victini were already lying, Luo Mu seemed to have thought of something and asked the Bud Crown: "By the way, when I subdued Regiace at the iceberg ruins, a large piece of its hard ice body was broken. Do I need to deal with it in time?"

Luo Mu knew that Reggieace was like the Reggierock in the Age of Gods and could absorb rocks/ice to repair his body, but he was not sure whether there was a time limit for the repair and whether it needed to be done immediately.

Perhaps asking the Bud Crown King would give you a definite answer to this question.

The Bud Crown King was silent for a moment, then said faintly: "You are really amazing. You keep bringing me many surprises and astonishments."

"Even for me, if I want to cause extensive damage to the Ice Giant's extremely solid body, it will take some effort."

The images of Luo Mu's extremely powerful Pokémon were circulating in the mind of the Bud Crown.

Dragonite, Mimikyu, Xenog, Swampert and Blademaster.

If Crown of Buds were asked to guess who could break through Regice's defense, it would think that either the Blade of Blade or the enormously powerful Swampert might be possible.

Luo Mu nodded: "It was the Blue Flame Blade Ghost who did it. It was the result of its technology blossoming. I just provided a good environment and command."

Luo Mu briefly explained to the Lotus Crown King how the Blue Flame Blade Demon's blade continuously attacked a little bit, and then the final burst broke through Reggieace's defense.

In response, the Rape Crown King commented: "It's a very creative and extremely difficult way of fighting."

This is how it answered Luo Mu's question.

"I don't know what that handy Poké Ball does yet, but if you're talking about physical defects, then you can be assured."

"As long as the most important crystal at the core of the Ice Giant is not destroyed, and given time or repair materials, they can repair themselves to a complete state."

"According to your description, the attack of the Azure Blade Demon should have put it into a shutdown and restart state, but before the restart was about to be completed, it was captured by you and put into the Poké Ball. It was really an accident."

The Bud Crown King sighed a little and explained what he knew about the operating principles of Regice.

In short, Regice is a Pokémon specialized for guarding a certain place, just like the clay giants that Luo Mu had encountered before.

Once they decide to protect a place, they will expel invaders at all costs. They are often found in ruins, and it is said that they can also be found in the legendary tree of the beginning of the world.

It is quite difficult to change the place guarded by the legendary giants, but fortunately, the Flower Crown King knows a way.

Let Reggieice crash and restart, then use its own abilities to do some processing, and you can modify the place it wants to protect.

But before that, the Rape Crown asked again, "Are you going to take it back to your farm?"

"If you don't want it, I can still let it return to the ruins now, even though there is no one in the ruins that it needs to protect anymore."

Hearing this, Luo Mu took out the advanced ball containing Regiace, stared at it for a long time before slowly speaking: "Although their movements are somewhat mechanical and stiff, they should also have emotions, right?"

"Will you feel lonely or numb if you are locked up in a dark ruin?"

The Lotus Crown King shook his head: "I don't know about this, maybe there is."

As if he had made up his mind, Luo Mu said firmly to the Flower Crown King: "Then let's give it a try and find out if they have emotions."

If Regice shows these during their time together, then perhaps we can consider returning to the Crown Snowfields and rescuing the other legendary giants from the other four ruins.

"If this is your decision, I have no objection." The Rape Crown King nodded slightly, indicating that he would support Luo Mu's choice. "However, it is better to leave the repair and awakening until after the return journey, otherwise, it will become the guardian of this snowy valley."

Luo Mu nodded, put away the advanced ball, took Cosmogu from the arms of the Rape Crown King, and walked into the tent which was already warm because of the furries.

Without waiting for the Bud Crown, Luo Mu directly hugged the two little guys, Victini and Cosmog, and fell asleep surrounded by Arcanine and Roentgen.

The Bud Crown King said that it wanted to take another look at the sky over the Crown Snowfields.

Perhaps he wanted to say his final goodbye to this land where he had lived for who knows how many years.

August 8, early morning.

Today is still a rare sunny day in the Crown Snowfield, and even the sub-zero temperature has risen slightly.

Although it was only a little over two days since they arrived at the Crown Snowfield, Luo Mu felt as if half a month had passed, and it felt too fulfilling.

After packing up all the things for camping in the snowy valley and clearing up the garbage to ensure that the natural environment was not polluted, Luo Mu, who was planning to return, was left with only Roentgen and Vulpix outside, while the other Pokémon returned to the Poké Balls.

On the other side, King Leiguan had already ridden on his Snowstorm Horse, with Lingyou Horse, who seemed to be a little jealous, following beside him, waiting for Luo Mu.

Their itinerary for today was very simple.

First go back to Frozen Village to tell Pioni and the others that the matter has come to an end, and then let Nemo and the other four prepare to pack up and return to Padiya.

Luo Mu himself asked in the Frozen Village where Moon's residence was and then went to visit him. After the visit, he set off back to Padiya.

This time they neither used teleportation nor flew. Luo Mu and the Princess Royal set out from the Snow Valley, following the winding path of the partially thawed cool stream, heading towards the Frozen Village.

Perhaps because of the Snowtrooper and Phantom, there were no wild Pokémon blocking the way. It can be seen that at least their deterrent power is extraordinary in this Crown Snowfield.

When Luo Mu realized that the Lingyou horse he was riding seemed jealous because King Leiguan had not changed his ride, the honest Luo Mu chose to directly help the panicked Lingyou horse and ask King Leiguan why.

The answer given by the Queen of the Flower Crown is also very interesting.

It said seriously, "I am also a grass-type Pokémon. I don't like the cold temperature brought by the ice and snow around me, so I choose to fight poison with poison. I just need to change into an ice-type Pokémon to enjoy this environment."

Ling Youma was stunned when he heard this, and even felt a sense of unreality in his heart.

I seem to have found out why the Queen of the Rose Crown always "preferred" to ride the Snow Horse many years ago.

Because Vulpix hadn't been in this pure snow mountain for a long time, Luo Mu let it move freely on the snow, and the Roentgen cat watched it to prevent it from getting lost. Snowstorm and Spirit Horse were very fast, and Vulpix got tired halfway through, so Luo Mu held it in his arms. Spirit Horse and Snowstorm had no worries, and under the leadership of the Roentgen cat, they came directly to the outskirts of the Frozen Village.

It was still the same forest where Luo Mu first met the Belladonna.

After asking Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse to stay where they were and not move, King Leiguan floated down from Snowstorm Horse and said to Luo Mu, "I'll wait for you in this forest."

Luo Mu knew that King Lei Guan no longer wanted to have anything to do with the people of Frozen Village, so he nodded and said, "We'll be back soon."

As he spoke, Luo Mu carried Vulpix, who had fallen asleep from playing in the snow, and walked towards Frozen Village with the Roentgen Cat.

Because they set out early in the morning, and the Spirit Horse and Snowstorm Horse were very fast, it was only a little after eight o'clock.

Dongning Village was exceptionally lively at this time. Almost everyone was gathering around the village's farmland, engaging in heated discussions, even the tourists.

Luo Mu's arrival did not attract the attention of most people. Only Nemo and Pioni, who had strong intuition, noticed his return.

"Teacher Luo Mu, this way!"

Nimo waved and whispered to Luo Mu to come over.

Luo Mu walked over and found that there were only Nemo and Pioni on the outside, while Mudan and the others seemed to be further inside.

Coming up to the two of them, Luo Mu asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

The tall Pioni pointed inside and said, "It is said that the King of Plenty has appeared."

At this time, an old voice was heard from inside, and Luo Mu instantly recognized it as the voice of the old village chief.

"Oh my god! Could it be that because of the ancient tradition of the village that was recreated yesterday, the King of Plenty finally appeared!?"

With Luo Mu's height, even if he stood at the outermost edge, as long as he slightly tiptoed he could clearly see the extremely exaggerated movements and expressions of the short old village chief who was hidden by the crowd at the innermost edge.

At this time, he was boasting that his act of reviving tradition yesterday had pleased the King of Fertility, so the King of Fertility sent down his power to make the crops in the fields mature overnight.

From his micro-expressions, Luo Mu could tell that the old village chief had probably deceived himself. He really believed that the King of Plenty, whom he had once used as a tool to promote the village, really existed, and at least on the surface he believed in it devoutly.

It seemed that because of the instigation of the old village chief, many villagers of Dongning Village, especially the owners of the fields, knelt on their knees with gratitude to thank the King of Fertility for his grace, which made Luo Mu frown.

Luo Mu looked worriedly in the direction of the woods outside the village, and then asked Nemo to call Papa and the others out, saying that he had a few words to say.

The four students quickly gathered together, and even Xia Keya didn't want to watch the excitement over there anymore.

After all, compared to the old village chief who had already led the villagers to worship the gods, they knew that Luo Mu, who had spent a whole night with the King of Plenty, knew the ins and outs of the matter better.

Luo Mu did not delay and immediately mentioned that it was about time for Nemo and the other three to focus on their studies and return to Padia to go to school. He also told them that the Crown of Lotus had successfully regained his power and planned not to become the legendary king of Galar again.

Nemo and the other three, who had originally wanted to play in the Crown Snowfield for a while longer, were initially disappointed, knowing that their happy overtime summer vacation life had come to an end.

But the news that Luo Mu revealed next made the four of them, including Pioni and Xia Keya, so shocked that they almost couldn't control their expressions.

Smart Xia Keya figured out the reason almost immediately: "In other words, this apparition will represent the farewell of the King of Plenty and the last village where his legend is passed down?"

Nimo asked the key question: "So where will the King of Plenty go in the future?"

Luo Mu smiled and said, "It agreed to come back with me to the farm in Padiya to start a new life."

Everyone: "."

In the silence, Pioni's expression was particularly complicated.

Although he had anticipated this from the beginning, when he heard from Luo Mu that the King of Plenty would leave Galar and go to neighboring Padia, he still felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Pioni suddenly thought of his annoying brother who was worried about Galar's future energy and resources. How would he feel if he learned the news?
The reason why Luo Mu told the news to Nemo and the others, especially to Pioni, Xia Koya and Mudan, was because they did contribute to the matter of helping the Bud Crown King regain his power.

He didn't know what the three Galar people would think about this matter. After giving some instructions to Nemo and the other three and asking Pioni to send them to the airport, Luo Mu asked the villagers about Moon's current address.

After completing his goal, Luo Mu ignored the villagers' revelry in the farmland and went straight back into the woods.

At this time, the Bell Crown King was looking at the pale golden light spots surrounding it under the worried eyes of Snow Horse and Ghost Horse.

Luo Mu paused and looked at the Roentgen cat beside him. The Roentgen cat nodded slightly, as if it had a telepathic connection with Luo Mu.

"Meow!" (I can see it, too!)

Sure enough, that light golden spot was the power of faith. Could it be provided by the villagers of Dongning Village just now?
Just like Luo Mu, Lingyouma and Xuebaoma were also worried that King Leiguan would accept the power of faith and experience the same tragedy again.

They looked at the pale golden spots with hostility.

If it weren't for the majesty of the Flower Crown King, they would have used all their strength to scatter these light spots.

Perhaps it was the voice of the Roentgen cat that attracted the attention of the Lotus Crown King, who was staring at the pale golden light, or perhaps it was because it had already known that Luo Mu had returned, and the Lotus Crown King suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again."

"Now that I have calmed down, I realize that the power of these beliefs is not pure. They are just a desire for gain. In terms of piety, they are not even as sincere as my beloved horses."

The Bud Crown Queen could be sure of that.

The faith that the villagers of Dongning Village offered to him now was nothing more than faith in the power he had displayed last night in order to make a break with the past.

If I lose my power again, or fail to meet their expectations, such faith will be like a shooting star across the night sky, fleeting.

"Now I won't just respond to their endless demands."

The King of the Flower Crown lowered his eyes, and a bright blue light shone around him. He used his telekinesis to disperse the forces of faith that wanted to merge with him.

After doing all this, the Rape Crown King felt relieved and felt relaxed all over his body.

It thought that its choice this time should not be wrong.

The happy Snowbrook and Ghostbrook clung to the Bouquet Crown King so closely that the Bouquet Crown King had to frantically use his telekinesis to hold the sleeping Cosmogu in the air so that he could free up his hands to get close to his beloved horses.

Luo Mu knew that from this moment on, the Flower Crown King had been completely reborn and was no longer the King of Fertility who lived for his people.

Now it is just the Pokémon Budcrest, and its beloved horses Blizzard and Phantom Flame.

It no longer blindly accepts endless desires and complex beliefs, but has learned to distinguish. I'm afraid it will never again be in a desperate situation due to the loss of the power of faith.

After finally calming down his beloved horses, the Rape Crown King looked at the smiling Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat in front of him, and extended his hand to invite them, "It's almost time for us to leave."

The arc of Luo Mu's mouth became bigger. He stroked the soft mane of the Roentgen cat beside him and nodded, "Let's go!"

In the snow-covered woods, the sound of friends chatting could be heard intermittently.

"I'm still planning on going back to the Crown Temple to see if there's anything you want to take with you?"

"No need, just let the memories of the past remain there."
