Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh special charcoal
Ten minutes later, the four of them arrived at the charcoal burning farm in the tung trees.
The terrain is relatively flat and surrounded by trees, but there is a large area of land around the wooden house. Without the cover of leaves, the sun can shine in directly.
In the rear yard, you can see a huge arched earth nest built in the distance, like a standing giant egg. It must be the place where charcoal is burned.
When burning charcoal, excess flames float out from there, and after being purified by the tung trees, there is basically no air pollution.
An old man with a flat head in linen clothes similar to Shang Ren was sitting in the small yard in front of the wooden house.
Lying on his back on a Taishi chair, slowly rocking, he closed his eyes and rested, drank tea and rested.
"How come this scene seems to have been seen somewhere before...?"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but muttered.
...
"Master, I have completed your mission!"
Shang Ren carried a piece of brown-black firewood that was nearly a person tall on his back and said cheerfully.
He walked to the old man and carefully piled the firewood in a corner of the yard.
The old man in sackcloth glanced at Shang Ren's pile of tung wood firewood, then at the green onion duck standing opposite to him at his feet, and finally at the three Xiaozhi behind him.
His profound and experienced eyes could see everything in an instant.
"Shang Ren, someone else cut it for you, right?"
He pointed directly at the path, causing Shangren to stand there in embarrassment.
"Humph, you have to be more down-to-earth as a person, otherwise I won't teach you all my skills!"
The old man in sackcloth stood up, put his hands behind his back, and scolded him quite seriously.
"I understand, master...it was actually Xiaozhi and the others who cut the firewood..."
Shang Ren quickly and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"Gah!"
The green onion duck next to him hit him with a green onion in disgust.
...
Seeing this, the old man in sackcloth looked at the people behind him.
"Are some of you travelers from afar? My stupid apprentice made you laugh."
"Yes, yes, we are trainers from the Kanto region."
Xiaozhi and the other three quickly introduced themselves. The old man with a flat head looked strange and fierce.
"The Kanto region is a far away place..."
The old man thought for a while, then seemed to think of something, and looked at Xiaozhi standing in the front with burning eyes.
"By the way, if you are a trainer, can I ask you a favor?"
Before Xiaozhi could say anything, he added:
"Of course, I won't do it for nothing, of course I will be paid..."
As he spoke, he took out a white CD from his pocket.
"This is a one-word-cutting skill. It should be a powerful skill for you trainers, right?"
"Oh, I have this..."
Xiaozhi just said helplessly.
When he was still on the luxury cruise ship at Kuye City pier in the Kanto region, he found one from the trash can.
And let me tell you something, this trick is a bit too powerful...
Seeing this, the old man took out another palm-sized sack with the opening tied tightly.
Opening the mouth of the bag, Xiaozhi and the other three leaned their heads and looked inside curiously.
When he caught his eye, he saw a dark piece of charcoal in the sack, about a finger long.
"Haha, my special skill is making charcoal, and I can give you charcoal as a reward..."
Seeing that the look in Xiaozhi's eyes dimmed instantly, the old man immediately stood up and introduced rather hastily:
"Young trainer, don't underestimate this piece of charcoal. It takes me a week to produce a small piece of special charcoal of this level! It can even be used as a prop in Pokémon battles!"
He was afraid that Xiaozhi was ignorant.
When he mentioned his craftsmanship, his tone was somewhat arrogant.
A large pile of firewood is burned into normal charcoal, which has no benefit to Pokémon.
But through his experienced craftsmanship and good luck, he can get a piece of charcoal essence.
As a prop, let the Pokémon carry it with you, which can greatly increase the power of the Pokémon's fire-type skills.
The item that improves the water attribute is the mysterious water drop. Similarly, charcoal is also an expensive item.
"And my charcoal is super high-quality charcoal. If it is carried by a fire-type Pokémon, it can help the former to better master the powerful flames to a certain extent, and it can even store part of the flame energy in it."
This is already a rare treasure!
But the old charcoal-burning man has no pursuit of money or anything like this. The old craftsman gives it away as he wants, without caring about its value.
...
"Haha, master, please tell me about the reward. I am a good boy from Zhenxin Town. You should tell me what you want me to do for you. I will try my best to help you complete the task!"
Xiaozhi carefully put the bag into his pocket, patted his chest, and immediately accepted the task.
Even his words were filled with words of respect.
This piece of charcoal can just help his Fireball Rat better master the flame...
"I'm so envious. I picked up a high-end prop for nothing..."
Next to her, Xiaoxia said bitterly.
She worked diligently at the Hualan Gym and clocked in for many years, and she got a low-quality mysterious water drop.
As a result, Xiaozhi got a high-quality charcoal with his backhand?
hateful!
Xiao Gang next to him was even more curious about another thing.
Speaking of which, when doing tasks now, you collect the reward first and then talk about the task...?
...
"Actually, this mission is nothing. It's just a friend of mine who just brought five green onion ducks from other places last month..."
Green Onion Duck is a Pokémon from his hometown, but in fact, the number of this Pokémon in the Kanto and Johto regions has become very rare in recent years, and it is a precious Pokémon.
"Yeah?"
Xiaozhi and the others were stunned, and he subconsciously took out the illustrated book.
"Didi. Green Onion Duck is a Pokémon that comes with its own condiments. Its meat is delicious and delicate. If cooked with the green onion rhizomes it carries, it will be even more delicious. Therefore, it has been hunted by humans in large numbers and has become scarce.
Bliss."
The illustrated guide suggested.
It's less like a Pokédex and more like a recipe book.
The green onion duck that was once introduced to foreign countries may be because the locals don't like the taste of green onions. Now there are more ducks on the other side of the ocean than in Guandong City where they originated.
Making charcoal requires the use of green onions and ducks, so the old man who made charcoal specially asked his friends to bring some green onions and ducks from other places.
Now one is in Shang Ren's hand, three are in his hand, and the other one is the key to the mission.
Several people cheered up and continued to listen.
"This green onion duck has an extroverted and warlike personality and doesn't like to obey human orders. A week ago, a green onion duck broke into pieces and ran away. Now it is the king of the jungle in the nearby jungle and likes to attack the surrounding wild animals.
Pokémon will even often attack trainers passing by."
It is a shame to say that the old man is just a charcoal burner, not a powerful trainer, and cannot tame this belligerent green onion duck.
"Oh, I understand. Do you want me to help you arrest that green onion duck? Leave it to me!"
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
Catching Pokémon and the like is not a big problem for him.
The old man nodded, but then added:
"Haha, but that green onion duck looks a bit strange and is not suitable to stay here. If you catch it, then take it away together and follow the trainer. Maybe it is the most suitable thing for it.
..”
As he spoke, he also took out a photo of five green onion ducks standing side by side.
Among them, a duck with green onions is particularly different.
