Chapter 358 A Terrifying Past
"Ughhh!!"
[Shut up!! I'll strangle you if you say another word!!]
"Bang!!"
"..."
After a series of smashing and colliding noises.
The other end of the room finally quieted down.
The security door suddenly opened.
The person who opened the door was not a man, but a middle-aged woman.
She seemed unprepared and still in shock.
His hair was disheveled, and he had bruises on his forehead...
[Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?]
The man shoved the woman aside, gesturing for her to quickly go back to her room.
Ye Kai then got a clear look at his appearance.
He had striking features, a stubble beard, and reeked of alcohol.
The typical appearance of the "Laf" people.
In his left hand, he still held half a bottle of "Fountain of Life".
This is a strong liquor with an alcohol content as high as 96%.
Come on, come on, ton ton ton
Drinking too much will send you to your death.
However, the weather in Russia is cold and resources are scarce.
Heavy industry has developed to an abnormal level.
But there was almost no light industry!
Fountain of life is already a hot commodity here, and the price is not cheap.
We would like to ask you to show us around here.
[Young lady, you have excellent taste; you've chosen the right person.]
[Bring your boyfriend in, it's cold outside...]
Aurel Ilov.
He is a Level 3 professional trainer and also a retired veteran.
He once served in the renowned "Bear League Trainer - Security Committee".
He commanded a 300-strong militia guard unit and was a highly influential leader in the local armed forces department…
To a certain extent, they can enjoy the right to conscript soldiers.
300 people, what concept?
In this world, the military holds a very high status.
Because they can join the army.
At the very least, they can exert pressure on trainees above level 50.
These are all trainers!!
Even if most of them are just trainees and level 1 trainers, more than 300 people is still a remarkable number!
As long as he, as the leader, gives the order.
A surprise attack on a dojo or military fortress would be a truly terrifying sight.
The alliance between the Russian and American people has existed since ancient times due to the special geographical location.
This led to the people of this area being very warlike, constantly expanding their territory.
There's no way around it; the core area of our land is permafrost.
How can we survive without expanding our borders?!
This reminded Ye Kai of the "underworld" in the Siam region.
One is a poison-based domain, the other is an ice-based domain...
This is the information that Ye Kai and his team currently have.
Aurel has been a force that has cooperated with the Dragon Kingdom's overseas checkpoints on multiple occasions.
The customs officers stationed abroad naturally introduced him to Ye Kai and his team.
With such a person protecting them.
Presumably, this journey of the Russian-British alliance will be much smoother.
Upon entering the room.
The indoor heating was so warm, it felt like spring or summer.
The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is close to 90 degrees!
This is absolutely outrageous!!
The heating in this world.
And what Ye Kai knew.
It's different from the "gas heat pump" or "fireplace" of the past.
Every household uses fire-type spirits to generate heat for heating.
in other words.
Without a fire-type Pokémon, you're doomed.
You'll freeze to death!
No one spoke.
After all, they are all superpowered individuals; telepathy is sufficient.
[What would you two like to drink?]
[As you can see, Uncle only drinks alcohol here, along with hot cocoa and chocolate, and there's also a good stock of cheese, haha.]
[Aurel, let's get straight to the point, name your price?]
[Well... since you've come to me, you'll have to pay whether you do it or not... otherwise, don't even think about leaving this room.]
As he spoke...
My hands are constantly tapping on the calculator app on my phone.
[Thirty-four million eight hundred and fifty thousand... rounded up, let's say two decimal places, 3500 million Alliance Coins.]
[After the exchange rate, this is equivalent to 300 million Alliance Coins in your Dragon Kingdom.]
[Of course, I don't want my country's Union currency, I only want yours.]
The economy of the Russian-British alliance has always been its Achilles' heel.
Among the 12 countries in the World Alliance, it is considered one of the countries with the greatest fluctuations.
The stock and bond markets often experience fluctuations.
There are countless examples of a 3500 million dollar investment being devalued to 3350 million dollar in one night.
They prefer the alliance currencies of "Lighthouse" and "Dragon Kingdom".
[no problem.]
Hongyan didn't haggle with him; she took out her phone to transfer the money.
Uncle Ao stopped him.
[Little girl, don't rush.]
He took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
"Cough cough!!"
After a habitual cough.
He put forward new conditions.
[This price is only for showing you the way.]
[If danger arises on the road, or if there are situations requiring favors, additional fees will apply. A minimum of 200 million is guaranteed per transaction, with no upper limit.]
[......]
Both of them looked at this guy with serious expressions, as he made an outrageous demand.
Ye Kai was about to say something back to him.
Hongyan suddenly grabbed his kidney and pinched it, signaling him not to act impulsively.
[Sure, we have plenty of money. If you need more cash, you're welcome to come to the Hong family in China to collect it.]
A simple sentence, yet packed with information.
There are both opportunities and threats.
It can also be interpreted as owing a debt and not paying it back...
Even within the Russian-British alliance, the Hong family is well-known.
After all, they live in such a frigid country, and they can never have too many fire-type spirits!
[Haha, you two are really interesting. I like trainers as young and talented as you.]
[Give me a Fire-type Pokémon as collateral; we'll settle the money later.]
"Oh!"
Hongyan released the Fireball Rat that she had prepared beforehand.
Fireball Rat in the card
It's an A-grade individual!
On the Russian side.
This is the most valuable and hardest-to-get thing among hard currencies.
The Cyndaquil can shoot needle-like flames from its back, which can be effectively connected to heating systems.
Its heat generation efficiency is much higher than other fire-type Pokémon!
[The little one is only 3 months old, with excellent physical attributes, and should be able to meet your needs.]
[As expected of the Hong family, they're incredibly generous.]
At Ye Kai's urging.
Aurel quickly led them to the first nearby gym.
They took an empty road.
The spirits they rode were two dominant Arrowhawks.
Arrowhawk in the card
One female and one male.
Their size is unimaginably large.
With its wings spread, its wingspan is nearly 5 meters!
It should be noted that compared to other bird-like Pokémon such as the Arrowhawk, Pidgeot, and Starhawk, this one is quite different.
It's the smallest one.
Such enormous individuals, and even a pair?!
It's priceless!
That's amazing.
Ye Kai and his companion rode on the female bird, while Aurel sat alone on the male bird.
This is not Hongyan's fairy.
It belongs to Uncle Ao.
The reason they kept the Arrowhawk instead of other flying mounts was because...
There is a lot to it.
Among the many spirits with "flaming bodies", this one can also fly.
That's all there is to it!
Although the fire moth can also fly.
However, it cannot carry people on long-distance, ultra-high-altitude flights.
In fact, Ye Kai and Hong Lian both knew that there was another type of elf that also met this condition.
That Pokémon is "Molotov Cage".
The idea of a Moltres carrying people is somewhat far-fetched.
Firebird in the card
High in the sky, all the wind and snow were still before they reached the Arrowhawk.
It was kept 2 meters away by the intense fire energy within its body.
Ye Kai's attention was always focused on this Aurel.
Uncle Ao has an aura of "villain" about him.
That is, a kind of affinity with evil attributes, similar to that between Chu Feng and Lang Zixing.
There are many kinds of "bad people".
However, Dark-type Pokémon will be more inclined to be closer to them.
Dark-type Pokémon are known for their unruly and eccentric personalities, making them difficult for ordinary people to control.
Even close friends and family members may not necessarily buy your stamp.
You could say they were born "ungrateful wretches".
And yet, they are incredibly powerful!
Then there's the fact that they are almost completely immune to the methods used by superpowered individuals, psychics, and elves!
of course.
If the enemy's power and level far exceed one's own, then it will also take effect...
The villain's talent is too great.
After all, superpowered individuals and psychic individuals are already quite powerful "treasure people" types.
"Bad guys" can be completely immune to both of these methods!
At the very moment he sensed it.
A bright light once again obscured Ye Kai's vision.
A surprise attack?!
He was suddenly startled...
No, this is foreknowledge of the future?!
On a country dirt road.
"Aurel, hurry up, or we won't be able to get back to camp!"
"Wan Yi, you? You have the nerve to talk back to me."
"Last time you encountered that beast of a eagle, you almost got killed. You still owe me your life!"
The trainers, in small groups, were searching for survivors in the village.
Extermination order!
Once the troops issued the extermination order.
Everything within a 10-kilometer radius of the assembly point must be completely wiped out!!
They spare neither elves nor humans!
The atmosphere was filled with terrifying power and overwhelming killing intent, causing even Ye Kai's consciousness to tremble.
Isn't it about predicting the future...?
It's a scene from the past!
Time really is a cruel mistress; this is what young Uncle O looked like.
Aurel and Vany searched for traces of the enemy.
The female trainer who was originally part of their three-person team was caught in the enemy's sludge.
Then a huge explosion sent him to his death.
War has no logic whatsoever.
"Roar!!!!"
The distinctive roar emanating from the three-headed dragon in the distance was a "loud roar."
It is also a secret code for gathering.
"It's finally over! We can go back to the rear and rest now, haha!"
"I've been wanting to torture Natasha to the point of death for so long!!"
Wan Yi appeared quite excited.
The war between the Russian bear and the eagle has lasted for four months.
Now the fighting has escalated into urban warfare, and the battle is extremely intense.
The total number of trainers deployed by both sides reached as high as 2!
They dragged their weary bodies toward the meeting point.
On the road, on both sides of the dirt road.
The limbs of elves and humans were scattered haphazardly.
Empty, distorted eyes, devoid of any life.
It was piled up like a small mountain, just like garbage.
Fortunately, it's July now, so it's not cold.
In winter, at extremely low temperatures, it's just a pile of frozen meat...
More than ten minutes later.
The troops were almost fully assembled.
"Aurel, where's Alina?!"
"I've searched everywhere, but I can't find her! Where is she?!"
A fellow countryman, a few years older than Aurel, asked him anxiously.
His shoulders were gripped tightly by the other person, who shook him violently.
"Stop shaking her, you idiot, she's already dead."
"Aaaaaah!!! No!! I...!"
His fellow countryman, the trainer, was cursing loudly.
Alina is a rare psychic.
She can use her remote-vision ability to detect the enemy's hidden positions.
And from high above, one can look down at the battlefield below.
It's such a pity he died...
The key point is that this fellow villager has been talking to her for 3 years.
If I hadn't been mobilized for the war, I would have been married and at home taking care of my children by now.
"Buwei!!!"
"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!"
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"
The captain's dragon-headed gopher thumped its arms, sounding an alarm!
Dragon Head Mole in the Card
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying pressure stunned the entire group of remnants of the army.
A giant purple bird descended from the sky, blotting out the sun...
Its tail is as beautiful as a ribbon.
The deaths it brought were so unreal!
It's...Articuno?!
Ye Kai was also stunned by this scene.
This is no ordinary Articuno; it is a subspecies of the Galar Articuno!
A terrifying superpower, accompanied by a fierce wind, crashed down from the sky.
They knocked Aurel and his men to the ground in an instant.
Articuno's eyes shot out two straight beams!
Even the slightest glancing blow from this ray will cause all living beings to stiffen, becoming as still as stone!
It was an absolute one-sided massacre!!
[Kill them all!]
On the back of the Articuno.
The female trainer was as cold as ice.
Her aura is even stronger than Articuno's!
"Buwei!!"
Numerous beautiful and dazzling feathers, like amethyst crystals, radiated out, carrying with them an extremely sharp superpower.
"Pfft pfft pfft~!!"
Every single blow hits the vital points directly!
The casualties were extremely high.
Is this a variation of the mental weapon?
It's simply unbelievable that someone could use this skill to such an extent!
These feathers can easily pierce through the elves' protective barriers, cutting through iron like mud!
A large number of elves and humans were instantly pierced through!
Aurel felt everything go black before his eyes...
Ye Kai suddenly shuddered.
He was breathing heavily, and his body was trembling.
The prying into the past has finally come to an end.
Is the subspecies of Articuno really this powerful...?
Hongyan hugged Ye Kai from behind while also providing him with warmth.
[How's it going? Warm and cozy, not cold at all, right?]
[...Please sit still and don't shift gears randomly.]
More than 20 minutes later.
[We've arrived at the Ghost-type Gym in Red Tower City.]
Uncle Ao explained.
In this abandoned park, there are ruins everywhere.
The building is weathered and covered with thick layers of old ice.
Some of the old ice has even transformed into "non-melting ice".
[This place is also a dojo?!]
Ye Kai was somewhat curious.
Uncle Ao told the two men the story behind it.
A serious fire occurred here 30 years ago.
The fire destroyed the entire park overnight...including everything nearby.
At that time, the alliance also organized manpower and resources to rebuild the park.
But less than two years later, another fire broke out.
That incident was much larger in scale and affected more people!
From then on.
The only building in this area that hasn't had any incidents is the Ghost-type Gym, and there are more and more Ghost-type Pokémon around it.
There are urban legends about this.
It is said that those Ghost-type Pokémon were transformed from people and Pokémon who died in the great fire of that time.
