This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 108 Shixiang Night Market and the strange immutable stone (22)

"Ding Dong"

[The strongest evolutionary warrior (remark: Gherkin): Slick tongue ~ remember to be safe, don't be fooled ~ there are a lot of liars in that kind of place! 】

[Little Cucumber: Grandpa asked you when you were training just now, let me care more about your travel and training situation, remember to call and report to me at night! 】

While having dinner in the restaurant of the Elf Center, news of Korni came back.

Seeing the girl's joy and concern spilling out between the lines, Philio felt a warm current in his heart, and the bread in his mouth seemed to taste better.

"Da da da"

After finishing the dinner in a few mouthfuls, while the little ones were still feasting, Filio clicked with his fingertips.

[Little Dream Demon's single recommendation person: Okay, there is indeed something interesting. See you tonight. 】

Sala City, the Tower of Refining.

Kerni, who had just finished training and took a shower, was resting in her room.

Vaguely, through the thick door, you can still hear the laughter of the stars.

Regardless of Corni's reaction at home, Philio, who was in a good mood, took his well-fed friends and set off from the elf center to the west of Shixiang Town.

There, the Shixiang Night Market, which is famous in Carlos, is about to open for tonight.

"Machi~!"

The little dream demon lay on top of Filio's head, grabbed a few hairs, and pointed forward vigorously.

Sun Ibrahimovic, Big Mouth Baby, and Bogaman were all a little tired after a day of running around, and returned to the Poké Ball to rest, only it was still full of vitality and full of interest in everything.

Thus, the knight Little Dream Demon and its mount Phileo charged again.

-

Even though it was getting late, this small town with a small population was still bustling. For many tourists, the day's tour was only half over.

"The rare stones collected from Fengyuan Seabed Cave! Maybe there is also the blessing of the God of the Ocean! Interested guests come and see..."

"I have the ore from the Tianguan Mountain ruins in the Sinnoh area here. It is rare and precious, and it only costs one hundred thousand alliance coins!"

"Hezhong's ancient stone statues, Alola's ancient sculptures, and treasures from various places are here, let's take a look..."

Far outside the market, the sound of lively sales reached Filio's ears.

Stone merchants from all regions will want to make a fortune in this famous market.

After all, as a tourist city, tourists from all over the world will inevitably come here to experience it. They are not very good-looking, and they are often an important source of income for businessmen.

As for the few insiders, they will also prepare some really good things at the bottom of the box to avoid smashing the signs of themselves and the market.

In this way, after years and months, the reputation can be regarded as truly established.

However, for Philio, who has not had a big wallet even after completing a batch of orders in July, these things are not of great significance.

And, find a way to find a high-quality constant stone and give it to Bogaman.

Although it still doesn't want to evolve, the impulse from life instinct has become more and more obvious and becomes more and more difficult to suppress.

Let's go shopping first, find a suitable unchanging stone, then look for gifts suitable for Kerni and Nazi, and finally see if there are other good things.

Thinking like this, Philio took a step forward and followed the gradually dense crowd into the night market.

"How to sell this sapphire?"

"This sapphire was excavated from a deep-sea grotto in the southern waters of Hoenen Green Ridge City. It is said that there were legendary Pokémon living there back then."

"Okay, let me ask you how to sell it."

"Such a whole piece costs 180 million alliance coins."

"How about it? Do you like this? I think it suits you very well. It can be used as the main material to make a complete set of jewelry. How about wearing it at the salon next time?"

"I feel very good~"

"Then buy it, the money will be transferred to you."

"180 million alliance coins, one extra large Fengyuan sapphire!"

Fillio, who was walking in the aisle, looked at the rich businessman and his wife who were snuggling together, and the "extra large Fengyuan sapphire" that sold nearly two top-quality attribute enhancement items and evolution stones for some unknown reason. Philio didn't know what to say.

"Maybe, this is the lifestyle and happiness of rich people."

"March."

One person and one Pokémon sighed in unison, and walked forward silently.

Such a gemstone that is almost useless except for its large size and decent color, if it is in the Miare market, at most it is 20 million alliance coins. When it comes here, it directly adds a zero to the price. Leo couldn't understand it very much.

Moreover, along the way, he found that there are quite a few such people who have been taken advantage of, and they are not even a minority in terms of proportion.

Even if there are not top-notch people who spend a lot of money and spend 200 million Union Coins everywhere, you can easily see tourists who buy hundreds of thousands of Union Coins for a flashy waste product.

A few high-quality products, such as a cryolite that is really contaminated with a bit of the legendary Pokémon Frozen Bird, are placed on a booth. The price is extremely high. It is obviously just a gimmick and has not been sold at all. idea.

This kind of marketing method is really effective. A large number of stones and attribute gems of very ordinary quality were also sold at high prices, making the boss a lot of money.

"Let's go, look at another place."

Touching the little dream monster above his head, Philio shook his head. He could tell that none of the stalls in these good locations sell real things, so it's better to go to the corners and corners to find out.

"Madge? Madge!"

The little dream monster stretched out her little head, rubbed Filio's palm, and agreed happily.

It doesn't care where there are good things and where there is no good thing, as long as it can go shopping and play with Philio, it is very happy.

Raising her little hand, the little dream demon pointed in a random direction, lined up with Filio to break through the crowd, and rushed over.

-

Gradually walking from the main road and entrance of the market to the interior and edges, the number of busy shops gradually decreased, and among the crowds coming and going, there were also more people dressed as capable travelers.

Among the merchants who set up stalls on the ground, a few of them were also extraordinary, like traveling merchants who really traveled by themselves, and Philio's eyes lit up.

Such a place is in line with his impression of rare stone trading.

Buying and selling are all a matter of luck. Where can I find batches and sets of rare stones?Mining teams are not production lines.

Once there is a regular and expensive so-called "full set of gems", there is no doubt that it is a big net opened by scammers and profiteers, waiting for fools who don't know how to do it and like to make some fake investments to rush in, just like those rich tourists outside today. Same.

However, looking at it from another angle, it is hard to buy happiness with money, and the other party feels that it is not a loss if you spend this little money to buy happiness.

Anyway, he must be careful about his budget.

His eyes, which were slightly blurred due to boredom, became solid again, and his superpowers spread out around him.

After a rough calculation, we already have a range of nearly 200 meters, which is even better than before we set off.

The experience of the mirror hole and the "shadow world" made him more knowledgeable, and his dormant mental power "woke up" again.

"Ok?"

Just as he was searching for nothing, suddenly, a weak but strange energy fluctuation attracted Philio's attention.

He stopped and turned around, using his superpower to probe towards the fleeting energy source. A smile appeared on the corners of Filio's lips.

He seemed to have seen something pretty good.

Taking a quick step, he walked unhurriedly through the crowd and walked towards the deserted booth.

Compared with the many people around who were looking at the goods and asking for prices, the stall in the corner seemed particularly special.

The boss looked to be in his forties, wearing outdoor clothes, with a weathered face and gray hair. He was sitting on a deck chair and dozing unsteadily.

It doesn't look very serious, and there are more than a dozen unattractive stones scattered on the stall. Even an expert would not be interested in checking it out.

The boss is also very concerned about this, he neither actively solicits business, nor greets customers when he sees them, as if he just came here to pass the time.

"Boss, this immutable stone feels a bit strange. Can you introduce it to me?"

The polite voice caused the boss to open his eyes.

Philio's handsome face came into view.

An ordinary-looking stone was placed in front of him.

"It hasn't been broken open yet, and you know it's the Unchangeable Stone? You have pretty good eyesight. It was dug out from Sinnoh. Just look at the asking price. If the price is right, I'll sell it to you."

He raised his head without changing his expression, exchanged a glance with Filio, and the boss spoke flatly.

The voice is a bit hoarse, but it doesn't sound very old.

"The market price of the Immutable Stone is 30 Alliance coins. I can feel how extraordinary this stone is, but I can't explain exactly what it is. However, I am willing to pay double the price, 60 Alliance coins. What do you think?"

Filio didn't care about the boss's behavior which didn't look like doing business at all, but he humbly quoted a sincere price.

"It's a bit low, but." Staring at Philio quietly, the boss pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you dare to ask such a price for just a piece of rough stone? What you said is honest. Well, it depends on your vision and For the sake of sincerity, I will sell it to you. Are you planning to wear it for your Pokémon?"

"Well, it's like this. My Pogaman doesn't really want to evolve yet, but he already has an obvious desire to evolve, so I want to find a high-quality immutable stone for it to delay the evolution time. It also helps it continue to strengthen the body."

Philio nodded, took out Bogaman's Poke Ball, and released the little penguin.

"Boom!"

Seeing Philio's cautiousness and politeness, Pogaman also stood beside him sensiblely, bowed slightly, and greeted him.

"Very polite little Bogarman, come here. Wouldn't it be better to evolve earlier? Its level is already very high. After evolution, it has the steel attribute, and its overall strength will become much stronger, whether it is resistance to attributes In terms of learning, or in the learning of some powerful skills, you will have an advantage."

Seeing the polite and powerful Pogaman, the boss became interested. He sat up from the recliner, stretched out his hands, greeted the little guy, and gently touched his little head.

However, looking at Bogaman's strength at the moment and his almost uncontrollable impulse to evolve, he frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Yeah, the steel attribute is indeed very suitable for it. However, I still have to respect Pogaman's own ideas until it wants to evolve. This is how trainers are. The will of the Pokémon must be the main one. It's a partner."

Looking at the boss's extremely white hands that didn't match his face, Philio was thoughtful.

When he heard his boss's comments about the properties of steel, his expression became much more subtle.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow the other party's words.

"Well, that's right. After all, late evolution can make the body's foundation more solid, and it's not a bad thing. You don't have to worry about being late for a good meal. Just like my big cough, forget it, don't say too much, you have to buy it Is this the unchanging stone? If you buy it, you can pay for it, and I will rest too."

Halfway through the conversation, the boss cleared his throat vigorously and was about to issue an order to evict the guest.

huge.

Aren't you sure this is Metagross?

I don’t know what kind of madness this Da Wu Sang has got, so he came to this place to pretend to be a fool?

Tsk. Fengyuan doesn't seem to be getting better, one by one.

After a while of slander, Filio looked calm, took out his mobile phone, and scanned the QR code to pay the bill.

Dawu-san doesn't plan to reveal his identity just yet, so it would be better for him to pretend not to know before he leaves.

But after getting the things. Humph!

He is also a good-natured champion anyway.

"Ding Dong"

With a soft beep, the boss's mobile phone sent an account reminder.

"Well, it's good. After I break the stone, you can take it away. This is a good thing. It matches your talented Pogaman. It's not a bad treatment on both sides."

After waving his hand, the boss, who didn't even bother to look at his phone, blinked at Bogaman, then stood up, walked to the instrument, and quickly took apart the unchanging stone, which was still a rough stone.

"Zi La"

As soon as the machine went down, a sharp aura penetrated through the cracks in the outer rock shell and rushed straight into the faces of Filio and Bogaman.

"Boom!"

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Bogaman took a step across, stopping in front of Filio.

The water can surge, and it is ready for battle.

"March~"

However, before it could make a move, the little dream demon lazily let out a cry above Filio's head, and dark energy fluctuations spread.

"boom--"

The invisible collision stirred up a wave of air in mid-air.

have equal shares.

"March?"

The blurred eyes became serious, and Little Meng Yao never expected that just a little bit of escaping energy fluctuations could be so condensed that it would not collapse in front of her own strength.

"Not bad little dream monster, this is the momentum from the legendary Pokémon, and it can be suppressed by force. It seems that your cultivation was very successful."

The boss who was cutting his head didn't look up, even if he hadn't seen it, he knew everything behind him like the back of his hand.

A powerful armored bird guarded his side, stopping all the powerful aura emanating from the rock.

"Okay, it's done. That was just a stress reaction that broke out of the closed state. It won't happen in normal times. Let it be worn and try. It must be very good for it. You are very lucky. , the luck of this stone is also very good.”

The smooth, immutable stone was taken out of the original stone in just a few moments.

A light red necklace passed through the top. At first glance, it was just the right size for Bogaman.

"Then thank you, boss. I took advantage of you this time. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Philio leaned down, and he already recognized that the powerful force just now was most likely from the first-level god of the Sinnoh region, Dialga.

Even if this unchanging stone was not held by Dialga, it must be a rare item excavated in the place where it lived for a long time. It is by no means comparable to ordinary unchanging stones.

Although it does not have the divine power of the law of time, it also contains a wealth of steel-type energy, which has become more and more condensed through the accumulation of time.

The moment it was worn on Bogaman, the invisible fluctuations completely locked its evolutionary impulse, so that it didn't have to worry about fighting and training.

At the same time, wisps of energy are seeping out from the unchanging stone all the time, blending into Bogaman's body without any barriers, and subtly strengthening it.

Before it evolved, it experienced the future style in advance.

"You don't have to be so polite, you go, I'm going to rest too. If you really want to repay me, if you meet again by fate, please help me pay attention to the good stone."

Waving his hand lazily, he blinked at Bogaman. The boss was in a good mood, and relaxed back on the recliner, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Well, I won't bother you, boss. However, before I leave, I think it is necessary to remind you of something, which may be of some help to you."

Philio bowed politely, and before leaving, his words were somewhat meaningful.

"Oh? What? It's helpful to me to hear it."

Lying on the recliner and shaking slightly, the boss was a little disapproving of Filio's words.

"That is, your disguise is actually not perfect enough. If you want to do something with your current identity, I am afraid that such a disguise will not be able to hide it from anyone."

Filio lowered his voice, just enough for the words to reach the boss's ears without attracting the attention of others.

"."

The boss was silent and just opened his eyes.

A frightening aura enveloped him in an instant, locking Filio tightly.

But in an instant, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"It's true that I have good eyesight. It looks like I have to leave work early, find a place to sit and chat?"

Although it is a question, it has some undeniable strength.

The aura of the league champion, no matter how restrained he is, is still very strong.

While he was speaking, he had already stood up, packed up the few things he had, and his movements no longer had the sluggishness of a middle-aged man, but the energy and deftness unique to young people.

"Let's get to know each other, what's your name?"

Putting the last broken equipment into the huge mountaineering bag, the boss asked with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Daigo Champion of Hoenn, I am Philio, a traveler from Salo."

He reached out his hand without being humble and held it with Daigo, and at the same time, Filio announced his home.

"Oh? You already guessed who I am. It seems that your eyesight is not so good."

The boss, or the strong and powerful Da Wusang, took off the imitation mask on his face, revealing his handsome face.

With exquisite facial features and gentle temperament, even Philio can hardly be overwhelmed.
