The Perfect Age of Elves

On Monday morning, the playground of Jinqiu No. [-] Middle School was already full of people. Students from all three grades of high school were there, including those who were not prepared to become trainers.

Today is a holiday outdoor activity organized by the school. Basically, all the teachers and students of the school have to participate in this outdoor activity, and no one can miss it.

The Autumn Phoenix Festival has a huge impact on Jinqiu City. This festival, which has been circulated for decades, has become a habit of the citizens of Jinqiu City. Even if no one has seen the legendary elves, there are many versions of the story about the Autumn Phoenix Festival. Without exception, they are all related to Phoenix King.

For this Autumn Phoenix Festival outdoor activity, the destinations of the three grade levels are different. Lin Yan does not know where the destinations of the second and third grade students are, but the destination of the first grade students is a maple forest south of Jinqiu City.

There is a statue of the Phoenix King in the maple forest, and every year during the Autumn Phoenix Festival, Jinqiu City has a custom of burning golden maple leaves into ashes and then scattering them around the statue of the Phoenix King.

It is estimated that there should also be a statue of the Phoenix King at the destination of the second and third grade students. After all, there are too many students and it is impossible for them all to gather in one place. Others in Jinqiu City will also perform maple leaf sacrifices.

Regarding the custom of the Autumn Phoenix Festival, Lin Yan knew the reason. He guessed that it had to do with the holy ashes, because as far as he knew, the Phoenix King had a treasure that could resurrect the dead, which was the holy ashes.

Lin Yan has never really seen this, but it was mentioned in the Pokémon anime in his previous life that Phoenix King has the ability to resurrect, and he also directly resurrected the three holy beasts.

At the same time, the Phoenix King also has the ability to resurrect the dead. Xiaozhi was resurrected by the Phoenix King once. Although it was only an anime in his previous life, Lin Yan felt that the Phoenix King in this world must also have the ability to resurrect.

The legend about the sacred bird in the Autumn Phoenix Festival includes the story of the Phoenix King resurrecting the dead. This is also one of the origins of the Autumn Phoenix Festival.

Legend has it that a few decades ago in Jinqiu City, there was a period of chaos in the Pannuo area. The specific reason was unclear. The Elf Alliance was too busy taking care of itself, which caused the entire area to fall into chaos. It took a long time to restore peace. It was also in the past ten years that Pannuo... The Nuo area was slowly redeveloped.

The Golden Autumn City during the chaotic period was not as quiet and peaceful as it is today. Poke balls had already appeared at that time, and the elves in the wild were not dangerous. They were not affected by the chaotic period in the Pannuo area. Instead, they were among people. Because of a certain For some reasons, conflicts often broke out.

Once, a violent conflict broke out in Jinqiu City, and the Panno Alliance had no time to take care of it. As a result, there were casualties in the conflict, and they were not minor casualties. Many people regretted it afterwards, but it was already too late.

This was also the most serious violent conflict in the history of Jinqiu City. Not only people, but also many elves also lost their lives in the conflict.

At this time, a beautiful divine bird with radiance all over its body appeared, and it scattered golden ashes. These ashes were like elixir, resurrecting all the dead people and elves.

And this miracle was also witnessed by the living people. It can be imagined that they were shocked by the resurrection from the dead, and they respected the Phoenix King as a god.

Those ashes were holy ashes with the ability to resurrect, and it was the golden autumn season. The golden maple leaves were almost the same color as the Phoenix King, so the Autumn Phoenix Festival was created to commemorate the miracle of that day.

Although, 40 to [-] years later, technology had not yet developed and there were no such things as cameras, those who witnessed the miracle are still alive, and the Autumn Phoenix Festival continues to this day. Many people believe in the existence of the Phoenix King.

In addition to this legend, there are many stories about the Phoenix King, but they are all inseparable from the Phoenix King's resurrection ability, which is the Holy Ash.

Lin Yan only knew so much. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but the Phoenix King definitely existed and must have appeared in Jinqiu City. Otherwise, he would not have been worshiped by others and had a statue built.

There are many statues of the Phoenix King in Jinqiu City. Where there are maple trees, there will be a statue of the Phoenix King. Usually people will pay their respects and make wishes.

Dudu!

On the playground, several buses roared and drove towards this direction, the sound was a bit harsh.

The first batch of freshmen who happened to be freshmen in high school got on the bus first, and then the second and third classes got on the bus one after another. After all the freshmen in high school got on the bus, the bus roared again, raising a cloud of dust and heading towards Go outside the school.

……

On the southern outskirts of Jinqiu City, there is a maple forest, and this maple forest is actually on an unknown mountain.

But the whole mountain is very special. In addition to being very big, it is like an inverted round bowl. The top of the mountain is slightly round, and the maple forest is right on the top of the mountain. Although it is not large, it is particularly conspicuous.

The bus stopped at the foot of the mountain. After the students got off the bus, the teachers immediately organized the students to line up in neat lines, and then headed towards the top of the mountain one after another.

Along the way, Lin Yan found that many people were coming, apparently also to worship the statue of the Phoenix King and to perform the customary activities of the Autumn Phoenix Festival.

The third class was led by Cheng Xi, but Cheng Ling also came. Most of the teachers came, and no one was absent.

"I came here with my dad last year too."

"Me too, but not here. It feels quite boring. I just burn a few maple leaves and scatter them on the statue. There are trees everywhere, so I'm not afraid of burning them."

"I also think this custom is too dangerous."

Many students started talking about it, but many of them didn't like the custom of the Autumn Phoenix Festival. First, it was a bit boring, and second, it was indeed very dangerous. Fire accidents occurred at this time every year.

After reaching the top of the mountain, there was still time before noon. The teacher asked the students to take a break and move around freely, but they were not allowed to leave too far without permission.

At this time, it is time for foodies. Although the Autumn Phoenix Festival is a bit boring, it is the happiest time for students who have brought delicious food.

Lin Yan also took out the food in his backpack, which was all prepared by his mother. There was also food that the little flame monkey could eat.

Although my mother is not as good at cooking as my father, she is very good at making some snacks and they taste really good.

Lin Yan sometimes wonders whether his mother is lazy and doesn't want to cook, so she pretends that she doesn't know how to cook. These snacks taste really good and they can be sold.

"Little Flame Monkey, come out."

Lin Yan released the little flame monkey. At this time, most trainers released the elves.

coffee!

As soon as the little flame monkey came out, his eyes were fixed on the food. Although some food elves cannot eat it and may cause poisoning or diarrhea, this time mother Ye Die specially prepared food that the little flame monkey can eat.

"Let's go, little Flame Monkey, find a place to eat and watch Dragon Ball at the same time." Lin Yan was a bit of an otaku at first, so he took the Little Flame Monkey and started to find a deserted corner, preparing to lie down and watch the Dragon Ball anime quietly.

coffee!

The little flame monkey is very excited, he can watch Dragon Ball again, he is so happy.

at this time.

"Lin Yan, let's go see the statue."

A clear voice sounded, and Lin Yan could tell it without looking at him. It was Jiang Lu's voice.
