Three days have passed since the [Carlos Final Weapon Incident] shocked the world.
Although the incident happened suddenly and the ending ended in a relatively happy ending with the help of two legendary elves, the tragic consequences of that catastrophe are still deeply imprinted in people's minds.
The Carlos Alliance decided to build a monument at the original site of the Makuhi Forest explosion to commemorate this horrific disaster that almost caused heavy casualties.
The raw materials used to make the monument are the remains of the final weapons.
Xia Chen did not tell the alliance that the final weapon was not completely destroyed. Anyway, without the energy of the XY gods to activate, the final weapon would be no different from scrap metal, good or bad.
The storm gradually subsided, and some finishing work related to Team Flare was also in full swing.
For example, catching a mole.
The Flames have been able to cultivate Carlos for many years, but still present a positive image to the public. There must be more than one mole in the league, Pachira.
This is indeed the case. Afterwards, nearly a hundred middle-level and high-level people who had close ties with Team Flare were investigated and punished. Although most of them did not know Fradali's true purpose, this number was still shocking.
The Kalos people's dissatisfaction with the alliance also increased because of this number.
But all this has nothing to do with Xia Chen.
He had already left Miare City and ran to a wilderness near Baike City.
This is the temporary headquarters of Team Flare after the Shixiang Town base was wiped out. It is also the place where AZ is most likely to be imprisoned according to the information given by Pachira.
The existence of AZ is extremely confidential. Even Pachira was a little confused when Xia Chen asked her. It was not like she was pretending, and she had no reason to pretend.
In the end she only gave this address.
The Flare Team's base near Baike is very large, probably second only to the headquarters in Shixiang Town and the Fradali Research Institute in Miare City.
The Alliance had already searched this place a few days ago and confiscated some of the Flare's advanced research facilities and assets, but there was no news of any trace of the mysterious tall man AZ.
Xia Chen did not give up. He asked Deoxys to search carefully up and down again with his mental strength.
Sure enough, under this underground base, Deoxys detected a more hidden underground layer.
Although there is no key, the strength of this building is far less than that of the final weapon. With Guluton's strength, he easily opened the passage.
…………
"How are you, Huayedi, how are you feeling now?"
Xia Chen looked at Huayidi, whose face was clearly mixed with tension and expectation, and deliberately asked teasingly to help her relax.
"Do not talk."
Huayedi removed the hand covering her head and replied angrily.
Although he said this, the somewhat tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed due to the gag.
They laughed and joked for a while, and then entered the dark basement.
This time, without Deoxys' help, Xia Chen's mental power alone was able to detect the breath of life in the dungeon.
Huayedi also clearly felt this aura. She hesitated and lingered in the same place, not daring to move forward, which seemed to make her feel more cowardly because she was close to home.
"Oh, why, are you shy?"
Xia Chen repeated his old tricks, trying to relieve the pressure on Huayedi through teasing. The latter rolled her eyes at him, took a deep breath, and walked resolutely into the depths of the dungeon.
Xia Chen shrugged and followed with Xianbu and Deoxys.
The dungeon is not very big. After all, its only function is to imprison AZ. After walking for about three minutes, Huayidi stopped outside a room in the deepest part.
This time she didn't hesitate at all. The energy of the Flower of Eternity surged in her hand, and she raised her hand to condense an energy ball and hit it towards the door.
Under the power of the legend, the steel door was instantly penetrated, revealing the layout inside.
The room is clean and tidy, with only one bed and one person, that's all.
On the iron bed, an unusually tall man with long, messy snow-white hair, who looked like a beggar, was sitting against the wall, half asleep and raising his head, as if he was wandering in the world.
The deafening sound of the iron door being opened did not wake him up. The man seemed to be living in his own world, letting the wind blow and the rain hit him, standing still.
Huayedi stared blankly at this person whom she had not seen for three thousand years but could always meet him in dreams, and for a moment she also looked at him infatuatedly.
As if feeling this unusual gaze, AZ slowly raised his head, revealing a weathered face, and his originally cloudy eyes gradually became clear.
The expression in his eyes was not happy or excited, but completely unbelievable.
One person and one flower looked at each other, as if there were thousands of tears.
Xia Chen was eating melon with enthusiasm when his hand was suddenly pulled. When he lowered his head, he saw that Xianbu was holding up the silk and was pulling him to go out. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident -
Leave space for AZ and Huayedi!
Xia Chen raised his hands as a sign of surrender, and was dragged out of the door by the fairy cloth.
…………
Xia Chen didn't have the habit of listening to corners. After coming out, he led the elves around the Flare base to see if he could pick up anything interesting.
Unfortunately, the Alliance's search was too clean, and I wandered around for more than half an hour without gaining anything.
There was still no movement in the dungeon on the ground floor. Xia Chen was not in a hurry and went to the kitchen of the base to make lunch.
No matter how you spend your day, you always have to eat.
Although AZ seemed to have escaped the shackles of the grain cycle, considering that he still had the ability to eat, Xia Chen also made him a portion.
But another two hours passed, and Huayedi and the others still didn't come out.
Nothing will happen...
With a hint of worry, Xia Chen secretly went to the place where AZ was being held to inquire about the situation.
And when he saw that this person, Yihua, was still looking at each other with the same gesture and expression as when he left, Xia Chen became numb.
Are these two in a competition, who can't hold back first?
Although he said this, Xia Chen silently exited the door and returned to the top.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Buy? (How are they, what are they doing?)"
Xianbu was also curious about what it would be like for this extremely special pair of people and elves to reunite after three thousand years, and when he saw Xia Chen coming up, he started gossiping enthusiastically.
Xia Chen was speechless, "They...maybe they are playing with 123 wooden figures."
Xianbu: "......"
Xia Chen touched her furry head and said, "Okay, leave them alone, let's eat first."
"Buyi~"
I don’t know how long AZ and Huayedi played the wooden man game until Xia Chen and the elves spent a poor afternoon at the base above. When the time came to seven o’clock in the evening, they came up.
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Xia Chen."
Huayedi jumped off AZ's generous palm and solemnly thanked Xia Chen, her tone sounding like farewell.
Thinking about it, AZ and Huayidi reunited for the first time in three thousand years. This may be the last few times he and her meet.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, I also want to thank you. Thanks to you, this matter can be resolved so smoothly."
AZ looked at Xia Chen, then at the elves around him, and remained silent.
Xia Chen didn't know how to talk to this immortal, so he simply said: "There happens to be some dinner left. If you don't mind, just have some."
AZ remained silent. The word "eat" was too far away for him after being imprisoned for more than ten years.
Huayidi advised: "Even if we don't need to eat to replenish energy, being able to enjoy the delicious food made by Xia Chen is a very happy thing in itself~"
Huayedi's persuasion had an immediate effect, and AZ nodded and accepted Xia Chen's kindness.
…………
Perhaps because they hadn't eaten for too long, AZ and Huayidi simply wiped out all the food that Xia Chen had prepared to feed a Kirby beast.
Xia Chen glanced at Gu Ledun and complained: "Good guy, I feel like this is more delicious than you."
Therefore, Luton snorted disdainfully and said, "It seems you still don't understand. What you see is the upper limit of the food you can cook, not the limit of my food intake."
Xia Chen rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, I've treated you badly."
While he was complaining, this unusually tall man had already stood up and strode towards Xia Chen calmly.
Xia Chen is 1.8 meters tall, which is considered tall among ordinary humans. But when facing AZ, he almost has to raise his head at an angle of 45 to look at him. It is conservatively estimated that he must be close to 2.5 meters tall.
.
Although the height was oppressive, AZ's tone was gentle, "Mr. Xia Chen, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you even more for sending Huayedi to me."
Xia Chen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, Huayedi and I also like each other very well, and we are even more moved by your deeds."
AZ smiled brightly, "Are you touched...Thank you for your evaluation. If I hadn't created the ultimate weapon for my own selfish interests, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many tragedies."
Xia Chen didn't say anything like "It's all over" to persuade him. He was not qualified to forgive AZ for the creatures who were injured or even died due to the ultimate weapon.
AZ got an answer from Xia Chen's silence. He sighed deeply: "I know that my sin is unforgivable. Before I saw Huayedi, my idea was to punish my miserable self with loneliness in this dungeon.
Life, but you have allowed me to see light and hope again, and my eternal life seems to have meaning."
Xia Chen understood that he and Huayidi must have been talking about something down there, perhaps about future plans. He smiled and looked at AZ, expressing his willingness to listen.
The man said: "I plan to travel around the world with Huayedi to help the elves in disaster. I don't want to atone for my countless sins, but I just want to make a small contribution to this world.
"
Xia Chen sincerely expressed his blessing, "It's really a lofty ideal, so I wish you all a smooth journey in advance."
AZ nodded calmly, "Thank you."
This was the last conversation between Xia Chen and AZ. It was night, so he left here with Huayedi, drifting to nowhere to realize his self-salvation.
…………
Xia Chen, who was bidding farewell to them, didn't want to stay at the Flames base any longer, so he immediately took the Gullton back to Miare City and checked into the championship suite of a top-notch hotel.
Having fulfilled Huayedi's long-cherished wish, he lay comfortably on the bed, thinking about when to return to Donghuang.
The matter on Carlos' side has been completely resolved, and it's time to go back and prepare for the Donghuang Conference at the end of the year.
Wait...all solved?
It seems that there is still one unresolved matter.
Xia Chen looked at Dian Xi, who was chatting with Gardevoir by the window, and felt a sudden change in his heart.
Leaving Carlos seemed to mean saying goodbye to her.
Xia Chen suddenly felt a little melancholy.
I have been with Dianxi for more than a month. Although it is not difficult to separate, when it comes time to separate, I am still a little reluctant to let go. If...
Xia Chen suddenly had a daydream.
But after a while, I felt that the probability of realizing this idea was too low. She was a princess from a diamond mining country, and the difficulty of abducting her seemed a bit high...
After lying on the bed and tossing and turning for a long time, Xia Chen thought about the possibility of successfully extending an invitation to Dianxi to join the team.
He quickly figured out one thing. Some things can only happen if you do them. If you don't do them, they will never happen.
It sounds similar to a confession, but Xia Chen feels that the relationship between a trainer and an elf is indeed similar to that of a couple.
Of course, it's not that they are similar on that level, but that requirements such as personality compatibility are equally important for trainers and elves.
Xia Chen felt that Dianxi matched him well, so he decided to give it a try.
But now is not the best opportunity, at least let Dianci return to the mining country to create a new holy diamond.
With the dream of taking Dian Xi back to Yuanling Island, Xia Chen fell asleep.
A night of silence.
…………
The next day, Xia Chen took Dianxi to visit the diamond mining country for the third time.
For Xia Chen, this secret place that is unknown to everyone is no different from his own backyard.
And their return was warmly welcomed by the little diamonds——
It's not because they are the heroes who saved the Kalos region. Not to mention that the information here is not well-informed at all. Even if they knew it, there would probably be no reaction.
What they are really happy about is that when the princess comes back this time, she won't leave again, right?
The answer to this question is open to debate, but soon, Dianxi brought him a big enough surprise——
Diancie successfully created a new holy diamond!
The occurrence of this scene made the little diamonds excited, because it means that the diamond mining country can continue to exist.
But when Dianxi looked at this holy diamond created by herself, she didn't feel much excitement in her heart.
It's not that Dianxi is unhappy, it's just that... the things she once dreamed of have come true, but Dianxi feels a sense of emptiness inexplicably.
Maybe it was because of the relief after the responsibility was relieved, or maybe it was because she already had something comparable or even better in her heart.
What could that be?
Xia Chen told her the answer.
"Dianxi, congratulations on finally becoming a qualified queen of the diamond mining country. There is nothing we can do to help you anymore, so I may have to leave here."
Dianxi's heart suddenly twitched, as if something had been taken away.
