Chapter 366: The King of the Flower Crown who can predict the future, the Shield Hero who changes the future!
Even though it was still some time before dusk, the light in the forest was exceptionally dim.
He didn't feel anything before entering the forest, but when he was in the forest, the treetops that blocked out the sun gave Luo Mu the illusion that he was already in darkness.
The river in the Weimei Forest meanders like a long snake, and it flows to every corner of the forest like the blood of the forest.
At this time, Luo Mu had already put Vulpix back into the Poké Ball. He did not ride on the Spirit Horse, but instead walked in the Weimi Forest with the Roentgen Cat as if he was taking a walk after dinner.
I have to say, although the light is a little dim, the air in the Weimi Forest is exceptionally fresh.
The mixture of smells between the river, soil and trees produced some kind of wonderful change, bringing a smell that can be described as "fresh".
Luo Mu looked at the Leiguan King who had changed to the Lingyou horse, and thought that he was worthy of being a legendary elf. He had been riding the horse for a whole day and his bones were almost falling apart, so he chose to walk to stretch his muscles. However, the Leiguan King acted as if nothing had happened.
Luo Mu didn't know whether he had the qualifications of a Sword Hero or a Shield Hero, so he let the Bell Crown King lead the way throughout the journey and didn't ask too many questions about this.
The map of the Weimei Forest in the game is not too big. You can reach the sleeping place of the two heroes by turning a few corners, but King Lei Guan took Luo Mu to walk in the Weimei Forest from dusk to sunset.
Until the bright moonlight penetrated the dense treetops and turned into mottled light and shadows that sprinkled in the Weimi Forest, the Roentgen cat suddenly called out, and Luo Mu also looked around with the Roentgen cat's reminder.
I don't know when the surroundings were filled with misty fog, which made the surrounding trees that blocked out the sky become blurry, as if a fairy tale goblin would appear from the deepest part of the fog at the next moment.
Luo Mu's mind suddenly became focused. If things went as he expected, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant should appear soon.
"Wait here for a while, they will come to see us."
The slightly majestic voice of the Crown of Flowers sounded. Even though it no longer planned to live as the king of Galar, it decided to communicate with the two brave warriors with the same attitude as before.
After the Lotus Crown King asked to stop, the surrounding fog not only did not become thinner, but became thicker and thicker, until it was almost pitch dark. At that time, two nimble figures slowly walked out of the thick fog.
Even the Roentgen cats were not aware of their footsteps; they were just like ghosts.
On the left is a Pokémon with drooping blue mane.
Its figure is like a giant wolf, with white scar-like patterns on its body, pink braids connecting to its ears on the upper part of its long and narrow limbs, and a large pink tail like a broom hanging behind it.
On the right is a Pokémon with red hair that looks like sharp armor. It also has white patterns that look like wounds, and blue hair on its head that looks like a helmet tassel. Its red and blue face is more angular than the Pokémon on the left, and looks like a small shield.
Their names are Cang Xiang and Zamarante. According to legend, they are the heroes who defeated the Night, but their achievements were taken away by the Galar royal family. They are now sleeping in this Wee Forest.
Just like a knight meeting the king, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant came in front of the Crown King and prostrated themselves as if they were performing a knight's salute to the king.
The Bud Crown King's eyes fell on Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he temporarily suppressed this doubt and said majestically: "You are the heroes who successfully repelled the Dark Night. There is no need to be polite."
Zangmarant and Cang Xiang looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes. It seemed that the king already knew everything. So now the king wanted to summon them both back to serve by his side?
As if she understood what Cang Xiang and Zang Marant were thinking, the Crown of the Flower said in a deep voice: "I am no longer the king of Galar. I am afraid your idea will fail. Moreover, you are already the true kings. You don't need to bow to me."
The expectant expressions of Cang Xiang and Zang Marant suddenly froze, as if they had not reacted at all, revealing extremely confused expressions.
Almost instantly, they noticed the change in the self-proclaimed King of the Flower Crown, and felt extremely confused about it.
The king is no longer the king?
But their eyes are still very persistent. Even though they have been given the titles of Sword King and Shield King, they still want to serve the Bud Crown King.
Knowing that he couldn't change the minds of these two stubborn guys, the Rape Crown King's voice did not stop because of the change in Cang Xiang and Zang Marant's mood, and continued to ask steadily: "Besides, compared to serving by my side, don't you realize it?"
"That power is still buried beneath the land of Galar. I'm afraid it will return sooner or later. And now that power has spread to the Crown Snowfields, the next Dark Night will only be more violent and powerful."
"But what is your current situation?"
As for the memories of that time, when the Lotus Crown King first woke up, they were vague. It was not until his strength was restored that those fragmented memories gradually became clear.
It remembered that because of the crisis of the dark night, it ordered the best blacksmiths at that time to forge swords and shields for Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, and injected its own king's power into the swords and shields and bestowed it on them.
Just like the pale neigh and black neigh of their beloved horses, Cang Xiang and Zamarante equipped with swords and shields not only became more powerful, but their best attack and defense also made great progress, and their appearance also changed as if they had evolved.
Became the King of Swords, Cang Xiang, and the King of Shields, Zangmarant.
In order to save the vast forest and the lives within it from falling into despair under the ravages of darkness in the future, he used all his strength to transfer it.
While saving those lives, it also provided a place for Cang Xiang and Zang Marant to fight without any worries.
After that, she fell into a deep sleep, but when she woke up and did not see the sky covered by the terrifying vortex, the Queen of the Flower Crown knew that Cang Xiang and Zang Marant had successfully repelled the Night.
"Woof-woof--" (The sword and shield the king gave us were damaged in that great battle and have completely lost their power)
The long wolf-like howls of Cang Xiang and Zang Marant were not only not domineering, but also seemed a bit aggrieved.
Their tails were hanging low, as if they were in a bad mood. Luo Mu, who was being taken care of by the Crown of Flowers and enjoying the translation service throughout, suddenly felt that Cang Xiang and Zang Marant were a bit like two big dogs.
Regarding the relationship between King of the Flower Crown, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, Luo Mu remembered that the original setting did not mention the superior-subordinate relationship between them, and many people also believed that there was no connection between King of the Flower Crown, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant.
But no matter what the setting was at that time, it now seems that Cang Xiang and Zamarant are indeed knights loyal to King Leiguan, and are brave men who accepted the weapons given by the king to challenge the "big devil" Mujintai.
The exclusive item "Rotten Sword" for Cang Xiang and the exclusive item "Rotten Shield" for Zangmarant were forged for them by the people under the command of the King of the Flower Crown.
Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat listened attentively to this conversation that seemed to transcend time and space, and watched its development.
Upon hearing that the sword and shield she had given to Cang Xiang and Zangmarant were damaged, the Princess of the Flower Crown frowned slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and her body began to shine with blue light rhythmically.
Cang Xiang and Zang Marant fell silent instantly, and at the same time looked at the three unfamiliar faces, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat, who were helping King Lei Guan hold Cosmogu. They did not question them like Snowstorm Horse did, but just signaled them with their eyes to maintain absolute silence.
Because now the Flower Crown Queen is using her divine power to look at a future that she does not know now.
Just like the crisis of Dark Night, if the king had not known the future in advance and ordered the craftsmen to create swords and shields, move forests and lives, even if they had defeated Dark Night in the end, Galar would have paid a more painful price.
After a moment, the Lotus Crown King slowly opened his eyes, his gaze first fell on Cang Xiang, and then stopped on Zang Marant.
Cang Xiang looked at his stupid brother with disdain. This idiot must have done something to displease the king again in the future.
The looks from his sister and the king made Zangmarant break out in a cold sweat, and his mind was immediately filled with wild thoughts.
Did I do something stupid in the future?
"Alas," the Rape Crown King sighed softly, then turned his eyes into a look of disappointment towards Zangmarant, whose body stiffened instantly because of his sigh.
The hero chosen by Cang Xiang has a heart passionate about Pokémon and barely qualifies as a sword hero, so he can activate the corrupted sword.
But what about Zangmarant’s choice?
How can such a greedy human be worthy of being called the Shield Hero, and make the corrupt shield shine again?
Even though she can see the future, the Bell Crown King is very careful in using her ability and restrains herself from easily changing the direction of the future.
The first time I broke the rules was when darkness came. Through these eyes that could see the future, I saw Galar, where people were suffering. I couldn't bear it, so I chose to change history.
This time, no longer the King of Galar, Crown of Buds decides to be willful and change the future for the second time.
King Rai Crown did not speak to Zangmarant who was looking at him cautiously, but looked at his friend Luo Mu, told him some things he wanted to change, and asked for his friend's opinion.
After listening to the narration of the Lotus Crown King, Luo Mu took a deep breath.
"hiss"
The greedy Shield Hero, could the Princess Royal be referring to be that infamous Mr. Hao?
Even the King of the Flower Crown thinks he is greedy. It seems that he is so pure in this world.
The Lei Guan Wang looked at Luo Mu seriously and asked, "My friend, how would you change all this if it were you?"
Cang Xiang and Zang Marant instantly looked at Luo Mu, their expressions full of shock.
The king actually said that this human was his friend! ?
Lingyouma and Xuebaoma looked surprised by what Cang Xiang and Zangmarant had seen, and felt that they were ahead of these two attention-seeking and conspicuous people in some sense.
Luo Mu was silent for a moment, then suggested: "Why don't we first get the sword and shield that have lost their power and are damaged, and then consider their conditions?"
When Luo Mu's voice fell, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Whether it was Lingyouma or Xuebaoma, Cang Xiang or Zangmarant, they all cast their eyes on the Belle Crown King, as if they were following his lead.
The Crowned King nodded slightly and said, "Then lead the way, two brave men."
Cang Xiang and Zang Marant nodded respectfully, walked in front, and led the way for Luo Mu and Lei Guan Wang.
Going along the river, in the deepest part of the Weimei Forest, there is a broken arch.
The surrounding atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. The light of the moon shines through the gaps between the leaves. The dotted fireflies around add a touch of dreaminess to the atmosphere here.
The archway was covered with green moss, and even the stone tablet standing there had been eroded by time, with the words and patterns once engraved on it becoming blurred and unreadable.
In front of the stone tablet, there were two rusty and broken weapons.
One is Cang Xiang's sword, and the other is Zangmarant's shield.
With the permission of Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, Luo Mu handed Cosmogu to Queen Lei Guan and walked to the front of the monument. He stared at the sword and shield that looked like scrap metal, and did not speak for a long time.
The Bud Crown King was not anxious. While waiting, it looked around the surrounding environment and praised: "You have found a good place to sleep."
It is quiet, profound and undisturbed by the outside world. It is really nice.
It seemed that because of the praise from the Lotus Crown King, Zangmarant and Cang Xiang were somewhat happy, but there was a huge difference between the siblings.
Zangmarante's drooping tail suddenly began to shake like a fan, and he had no idea what modesty was.
Sister Cang Xiang is much more reserved. Although Cang Xiang appears calm on the surface, the tip of her tail, which is shaking in a very small amplitude, betrays her.
Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse sneered at the behavior of these two lickers. It has been like this since the beginning. These two guys are always vying for favor.
Fortunately, because he was able to merge with the King of the Flower Crown, his position was very stable.
After a moment, Luo Mu, who had an idea, finally asked Cang Xiang and Zang Marant: "Are these two swords and shields just stuck here?"
“Woof!” (Of course, after defeating the disaster of the night, my sister and I came here to live in seclusion with our swords that were broken and lost in battle, waiting for the king to wake up or the arrival of the hero!)
After letting out a long howl, Cang Xiang and Zang Marant explained to Luo Mu.
With the help of the translation by the Crown of Lotus, Luo Mu, who was able to communicate in the same language, asked directly: "Then how do you identify the heroes?"
This question prompted Cang Xiang and Zang Marant. They looked at each other and called out hesitantly.
"Awoo~" (The one who can draw the sword and shield is the brave sword and shield~)
Luo Mu: “.”
Luo Mu did not remain silent, but chose to use practical actions to prove his guess.
Walking to the rotten sword and rotten shield inserted in the groove, Luo Mu glanced at Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, then grabbed the dusty hilt and shield handle with his left and right hands, and pulled them out without using any force.
Holding up the decayed sword and shield, Luo Mu looked at Cang Xiang and Zang Marant with some amusement and asked, "Are you going to admit that I am a dual-talented hero of sword and shield?"
Cang Xiang & Zang Marant: "!!!!"
How can it be! ?
There was deep confusion in the eyes of the two big dogs.
The Lotus Crown King saw something and said thoughtfully: "The last remaining power in the sword and shield has been exhausted over the years, and it no longer has the ability to identify heroes."
Luo Mu nodded slightly: "That's right, so in the future you saw, knowing that the greedy human was not the Shield Hero, facing the coming Dark Night Crisis, Zamarant had no choice but to appear, and borrowed a little bit of the power of the Sword Hero from Cang Xiang to activate the corrupted shield."
Luo Mu's statement was very bold, but in the eyes of King Lei Guan it was surprisingly reasonable. As long as one thought in this direction, everything would make sense.
The Rape Crown King showed admiration in his eyes and asked again: "How do you plan to change this future?"
Luo Mu put down the rotten sword and shield, and under the slightly twitching expressions of Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, he went to the river to wash his hands and said: "Take away the rotten sword and shield, and we will decide who will be the brave one!"
