Chapter 643: Thousand Layers of Strategies to Attack the Divine Beasts
It is not easy to gain the friendship of the legendary elves. Even now, Xia Chen is not so arrogant as to think that he has gained Cang Xiang's friendship.
Based on An Ye's cooperation and a month of neighborly friendship, Cang Xiang helped heal Senbu and Sai Fuhao's injuries.
It's just a piece of cake for it.
Xia Chen thought so, but Cang Xiang's next words surprised and delighted him.
"Concerning that dark matter, I can't go to the ultimate world with you."
It was clearly a rejection, but the actual meaning was much richer than the surface.
First of all, the premise of this answer is that Cang Xiang cares about it and is seriously considering it.
Otherwise, it can just say it has nothing to do with me. Of course, the quality of the legendary elves will definitely not be that bad. Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same.
But Cang Xiang said it would not go to the ultimate world, which meant that it had subconsciously acquiesced that Xia Chen could make less excessive demands on it.
Xia Chen had no delusions about taking Cang Xiang to the ultimate world. The purpose of his coming here this time was to let Senbu and Gardevoir train with him.
But now, it seems that I can benefit from Cang Xiang a little more...
The reason is very simple. Cang Xiang thought that Xia Chen came to it to ask it to save the world, and his psychological expectations were very high.
Suddenly he was reduced to helping train two elves. The huge gap made Cang Xiang think "that's all."
Although it would definitely happily agree, Xia Chen would definitely not be able to maximize his interests.
So, he cautiously tried: "Since Lord Cang Xiang, you can't go in person, how about... lend me your sword?"
Cang Xiang: "?"
Seeing Cang Xiang looking at him with the expression "How dare someone be so shameless", Xia Chen looked away with a guilty conscience.
In fact, this is also a sentence that further improves Cang Xiang's psychological expectations. It can be used in negotiations and bargaining.
This is of course not Xia Chen's final appeal. The "corrupted sword" is Cang Xiang's exclusive weapon, and the two are deeply bound.
Only Cang Xiang can use it to transform from a brave warrior into the king of swords. It is just a tetanus blade for others to use.
The script is still following Xia Chen's ideas.
After being silent for a while, Cang Xiang said: "Change it with another one, that sword will be useless to you."
The answer was as expected. Xia Chen pretended to be aggrieved and said "yes". After "thinking" for a long time, he made another request.
"Then...can you please help teach my two elves?"
Xia Chen looked disappointed and said in a low tone: "I hope they can become stronger during this limited period of time so that they will not face the dark matter..."
He deliberately didn't finish what he said. Cang Xiang would figure it out for himself in the blank part. If he said it too clearly, it wouldn't have the same effect.
Cang Xiang's eyes had changed from calmness to half pity, half guilt, and a little bit of appreciation.
For a legendary spirit like it, which has a high moral level and regards protecting the area as its own responsibility, I especially appreciate the noble character shown by Xia Chen.
Thinking back to that dark night incident, Xia Chen, a foreigner, spared no effort to contribute to safeguarding the peace of Galar, and Xia Chen's image in its mind became taller and taller.
At this moment, Cang Xiang even had a thought in his heart: "I actually left such a noble human being dry for a month and rejected him twice in a row? I really deserve to die!"
…………
Xianbu could no longer hold his strength at this moment. Cang Xiang, the majestic guardian hero of Galar and the King of Swords, was defeated by Xia Chen in just a few words?
She felt that the outside world's understanding of Xia Chen was biased. The "Humanoid Absol" was clearly a "Noble Phantasm against Divine Beasts"!
When he retires in the future, he doesn't need to do anything else. He can achieve financial freedom by just writing a book called "Xia Chen's Guide to the Thousand Layers of Mythical Beasts".
However, although it seems that Xia Chen is trying to trick Cang Xiang, in fact, there is nothing wrong with everything Xia Chen said.
Speaking more broadly, his ultimate goal is to protect the ultimate world and the peace of this world. It is precisely because justice belongs to me that Xia Chen can act so calmly.
His eyes returned to Cang Xiang, who was still dazed and moved by Xia Chen's lofty qualities. Suddenly, a strong wind blew by, and the next second, a majestic figure similar to Cang Xiang with red hair appeared. The elf appeared in front of Xia Chen.
Xia Chen straightened his hair that was blown by the wind, and looked at the elf with slightly squinted eyes.
The King of Shields, Zangmarante.
Compared to its sister Cang Xiang, Zangmarante's body is stronger, and the scars on its crimson hair are more ferocious.
The biggest difference is the temperament of the two. Cang Xiang is a mixture of wisdom, bravery, calmness, compassion and other temperaments, while Zangmarante can be described in one word, reckless.
It was very strange. It obviously didn't do anything, but it reminded Xia Chen of this word.
"I can help you."
This is the first sentence Zangmarante, the Shield King, speaks after he comes out.
"If necessary, I can go to the ultimate world with you."
Xia Chen was immediately shocked. Why did he give himself such a big surprise when he came up?
Zangmarante is a good friend, and he is really helpful when something happens!
"Didn't I tell you not to come out yet?"
Cang Xiang's voice suddenly became stern, obviously angry at Zangmarante's random promise.
Zangmarant retorted loudly: "What does it matter, sister, we were born to protect Galar. If the world is destroyed, Galar will naturally not be spared."
Wow, they are really siblings.
Xia Chen became a little excited when the puzzle that Galar scholars had studied for thousands of years suddenly got a solid solution.
He silently took two steps back, preparing to lower his presence and enjoy the meal.
It's a pity that Cang Xiang didn't give him this chance.
"Don't you want me to help guide you? I agreed. I will teach them their true skills. In addition, I can also give you any three things except the Sword of Decay."
Cang Xiang turned to look at Xia Chen and said, "But just pretend you didn't hear what my stupid brother just said."
Such a gain was beyond Xia Chen's expectation. He nodded calmly, "Of course, Lord Cang Xiang, I understand."
Zangmarante was extremely depressed, but the authority of her elder sister made her dare not say anything. She could only grind her fangs in her mouth and gasp indignantly.
Cang Xiang glanced at his younger brother and said helplessly: "Okay, you can do the same as me and help teach Xia Chen's elves."
Zangmarante immediately recovered from his emo state and shouted excitedly: "I know, I will try my best!"
Xia Chen complained secretly after witnessing this scene.
Give a candy to a stick, Cang Xiang's dog training method is good, but I thought it was silly and sweet.
…………
The sudden appearance of Zangmarante undoubtedly brought more benefits to Xia Chen.
After Xia Chen discussed the decision with the elves, they finally decided to let Xianbu and Gardevoir follow Cang Xiang, while Saifuhao and Zeraora were taught by Zangmarant.
Although Zeraora has a pure electric attribute, she is particularly good at fighting skills. As for Sai Fuhao, Zangmarant in the form of the Shield King also has a steel attribute, so he should be able to learn something.
The special training of the four elves was arranged by Xia Chen. As for the three items that Cang Xiang promised, Xia Chen looked at its collection and finally selected a strange object that exuded a strong ghostly aura.
The material is like jade, but also like a part of the body of an elf.
Therefore, Luton judged that its source was a certain ghost-type legendary elf, so Xia Chen took it and asked Doron Baruto to identify what it was.
Xia Chen was not very satisfied with the rest of the collection. Either they were not of good quality, they could be bought with money, or their attributes did not quite match those of his own elves.
Therefore, Xia Chen did not choose the other two things from Cang Xiang's collection, but asked for a strand of hair with Cang Xiang's original power and a fang that Cang Xiang had lost and replaced.
A part of the cover god's body is definitely no worse than those messy things.
Zangmarante also gave the same hair and fangs to Xia Chen for free. Cang Xiang looked at his brother who was given for free and said nothing in the end.
After collecting these treasures that could fetch sky-high prices in the outside world, and making an agreement to meet again in three months, Xia Chen left Weimei Forest.
At this moment, the only people left with him besides Guluton are Zoroark, Vulcan Moth and Blue Flame Blade Demon, and the supernumerary elf Zhi Yujian is barely half of them.
His special training trip is not over yet. His next destination is the Crown Snowfield, not far from Weimei Forest.
It was rumored that there were many unknown legendary elves there. Before leaving, he asked Cang Xiang and got a positive answer.
Cang Xiang even said that there existed a powerful king there that even he once admired, but unfortunately he has long since changed.
This made Xia Chen couldn't help but become curious. From Cang Xiang's description, it should be a powerful legendary elf.
But the words "once" and "things have changed and people have changed" obviously indicate what happened there.
He also wanted to ask for details, but Cang Xiang said that he wanted Xia Chen to find out for himself.
So, after spending a month in Weimei Forest, Xia Chen, full of curiosity, decided to set off for the Crown Snowfield.
First, for the sake of experience, and by the way, I also wanted to investigate the existence that Cang Xiang said was once powerful.
Before that, he learned about what was happening in the outside world when passing through Hualang Town.
Overall, everything is progressing in an orderly manner and on track.
Whether it is the [Ultimate Alien Beast Purification Plan] using radiance stone, or the rapid development of earth's technology with the help of alien civilizations.
In addition, Xia Chen learned from the second group of people from Metropolis that since they left with the Radiant Stone and the Ultimate Alien Beast, Metropolis has not suffered from the tide of alien beasts for more than half a month.
It seems that the plan that was hidden from the public was successfully implemented.
It is worth mentioning that the second phase of the [Alliance Investigation Team] headed by Dandi Kaluni was established and had already gone to the ultimate world through the time and space jumping machine half a month ago.
Sirona and Cattleya, like Xia Chen, have lost contact for almost a month, and they are probably looking for a breakthrough.
Everything was in order, and Xia Chen had nothing to interfere with.
After telling Kriska that he might lose contact with her again for a month or two, he took the Gulton to the Crown Snowfield.
…………
On the ninth day of the sixth month in the alliance calendar, on the outskirts of the Crown Snowfield, in Frozen Ning Village.
This is the human settlement closest to the snowfield in Galar. Apart from the elf center established by the alliance, there are almost no existences related to the outside world.
Even on the outskirts, the temperature in Freezing Village is completely different from what it should be in Galar in June.
The temperature is at least ten degrees below zero, and the extremely cold wind howls from time to time, which proves that the name of this village is not watery at all.
It was snowing heavily when Xia Chen came to this village, and there was not a single person in sight. Only the houses made of wood and stone shone with soft, dim and warm lights.
The most common elves in the village are Mahuola and Qingmianniao. The former is an ice elf. As long as the temperature is not too low, the current environment is very comfortable for it.
Little flying birds like the Green Cotton Birds, which are afraid of the cold, are unlucky. They huddle together under the eaves to keep warm. From a distance, they look like a big ball of white, soft cotton.
Xia Chen looked away, thinking that the relationship between the elves and people in this village should be good.
Otherwise, timid elves like the Green Cotton Bird would not stay under the eaves, but would appear on tree trunks or something like that.
But then again, it's so cold here even in June, why not move the whole village to the much warmer Mugan Town not far away?
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Xia Chen came to one of the few places in the village with a modern atmosphere, the Elf Center.
There is no hotel in Dongning Village, and the Elf Center is the only place for outsiders to live.
However, the main purpose of Xia Chen's visit was not to stay overnight. The tents developed by Metropolis were much more comfortable than the simple rooms here.
His main purpose was to find out some information about this village and the Crown Snowfield.
"Hello, welcome to the Elf Center of Dongning Village~"
As soon as I came in from the icy and snowy environment, I was greeted by ample heating and Miss Joy's sweet smile. It felt as comfortable as getting into a warm bed.
Xia Chen smiled back and said, "Hello, are there any free rooms?"
"Of course, you see what you need..."
Miss Joy's formal smile suddenly froze, and then turned into a sincere smile of surprise. She gently covered her mouth and shouted as restrained as possible: "You are...Mr. Xia Chen, right?!"
Although this was not the first time he was recognized, Xia Chen still felt a little proud because he still had fans in a remote and remote place like Dongning Village.
Wait, according to the past situation, the next sentence won't be that you want to take a photo with Senbu or Gardevoir, right?
Xia Chen recalled the embarrassing scenes of being sentimental in the past, suddenly became vigilant, and said: "First of all, let's talk about it, Xianbu is not with me now, and the same is true for Menas and Gardevoir."
Miss Joy said angrily: "What are you talking about? I'm not here for them!"
Xia Chen laughed happily, it was not easy, he finally met his only fan!
However, Miss Joy's next words directly disillusioned him.
