Legend of the Elven Investigator

Two days later.

After leaving Zijin City, after two days of flying with the self-exploding Magneto, Shinpei finally arrived at the destination of this love trip, Sending God Volcano.

"This volcano has finally arrived, but in this large area, which volcano is King Juzi on?"

The Hoen area has a strong marine character. The Sending Volcano is located in an ocean, and there are many small volcanic islands formed by volcanic eruptions beside it.

He flew on the back of the self-explosive magnetite for a certain distance, and finally found a small human settlement on the edge of the Songshen Volcano.

This small village was built next to a river that flows from the depths of the Sendhen Volcano, and one kilometer further outside will reach the ocean.Above the sky, the rice fields, orchards, and pastures on the edge of the village can be seen quite clearly.

At this point in time, about two hours before the sun sets, Shinpei decided to spend the night in this small village, and try not to spend the night in the wild.

Different from the camping place before, Sending God Volcano is a special area with A-level danger in the alliance system.The entire volcano, similar to the Ghost Tower in the Sinnoh area and the Ziyuan Tower in the Kanto area, is a special place to bury the dead and pray for the rest of the dead.

"This kind of place where negative energy condenses may attract some terrifying wild elves, especially ghost-type and evil-type elves." Zhenping said, "Go down and ask the local villagers what's going on here."

The self-explosive magnetite fell slowly, and Shinpei turned over lightly and landed on the ground, patted the dust on his hands, and looked at an old man who was busy in the rice field.

The old man was wearing a bamboo hat, which shielded Fang Yuan from the scorching sun. Beside him, there was a boy with a lotus hat who had a similar temperament, with a lotus leaf on his head, helping to weed weeds.

Seeing that Zhenping fell from the sky, the old man who was busy with farm work also took a few more glances. Sending God Volcano is not a lively place. Except for those who came here for some reason, basically no outsider will be seen for a long time.

"Master, may I ask if the village here can stay overnight? I came here from another place, and I want to ask you for a letter..."

Shinpei greeted him politely, and saw the old man raised his head slightly and put his bamboo hat upright.

"Our name is Lianye Village. There are usually no outsiders, and there are no serious hotels in the village. Speaking of which, what are you doing here?"

The old man was obviously quite vigilant, and he was slightly wary of Zhen Ping who suddenly appeared.The lotus hat boy who was busy beside him also stopped after hearing the old man's words, and looked at Zhenping with a pair of slightly dull eyes.

"Hehe, I'm a trainer. I came here to find some ghost-type elves to sharpen. If there is no hotel, there is no room. I can pay the rent."

Shinpei briefly talked about his identity and purpose. After hearing this, the suspicion in the old man's eyes also faded.

"The answer is decent. It seems that it's not those ghosts pretending to be."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The villagers who lived on the edge of Sending God Volcano often encountered some ghosts that slipped out of the mountain. Although they would not make any radical moves, they would still make a lot of troubles, taking pleasure in scaring and stimulating others.

His question and answer was to test whether the young man in front of him was a phantom pretended by those ghost elves.

"How much rent can you pay?" the old man added curiously.

Upon hearing these words, Shinpei also smiled in his heart, afraid that he would not speak, since he let go, it would be easy to say.

"How about three thousand union coins per day? I won't stay here for long."

Shinpei quoted an average price. With his current net worth, these few thousand alliance coins are just sprinkles, not a lot of money.

"Oh my little brother, come with me, my house has a vacant room, you can live in my house, you can decide how many days you want to stay!" Upon hearing this number, the old man immediately showed a bright smile, threw the tools in his hand to the boy in the lotus hat, and trotted out of the paddy field with his trousers on his heels.

"Come with me. Outsiders are not welcome in the village without a local to lead the way."

Shinpei also had a smile on his face, and with money clearing the way, these small problems would naturally be solved.

It is the magic of money that the villagers have changed from being indifferent at the beginning to being enthusiastic.

Under the guidance of the old man, Zhenping began to have some understanding of this small village.The old man's name is Qinghe, and he is a local resident who has lived here for generations, and the name of this small village is Lianye Village, which can be regarded as a relatively primitive small village.

Here, even the port ferries that are widely available in Fangyuan have not been established. If the villagers want to go outside, they can only use the village boats to sail across the sea.

After entering the village, it is different from the dirt road outside. The ground in the village is also hardened with cement, and it has a bit of a modern civilized society.

After following the old man to his home, Shinpei found out that it was a two-story old wooden house, and the bottom floor was even supported by wood, about half a meter above the ground.Presumably it is to prevent the invasion of poisonous insects and floods.

"This is three days' accommodation and food expenses. I'll give it to you first." Without further ado, Zhenping took out a stack of banknotes from his backpack, which he specially took out from the elf center in Zijin City. It was convenient in such a primitive environment.

Seeing a thick stack of Union coins, the old man Qinghe immediately widened his eyes a little. He was busy in the fields for a year, and he only earned a thousand hard-earned money. He never thought that he could get this huge sum of money just by letting this foreigner live for two days.

For an elderly villager like him who lives in a remote island, it may take many years of accumulation to save this money.

At this time, Shinpei was also observing the demeanor and detailed movements of the old man Qinghe. His superpower locked his heartbeat and pulse, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he withdrew his superpower.

He took out a huge sum of [-] Union Coins, and also wanted to see if this villager would have some bad thoughts.With his keen perception, Shinpei can feel it immediately once there is malice.

"Hehe, old man, I'll let my granddaughter cook. The sea fish here is very fresh, just wait for it!" The old man excitedly took the money into the room, and he didn't know where it was hidden. He quickly greeted a girl who was about the same age as Zhenping and came out.

"This is my granddaughter Qingyouzi. Tell her what you want to eat. My granddaughter can cook well, hahaha."

The girl named Qingyouzi in front of her is quite delicate, except for her slightly wheat-colored complexion because she grew up on the island, she can be regarded as a little beauty on the outside.

Shinpei wasn't interested in these things, and after saying a few simple dish names, he let the grandpa and grandson get busy.

"Songshen Volcano has a huge range. If you want to find someone, you have to think about efficiency. Why don't you ask about the situation of Sendshen Volcano later? It's not too late to search after finding out the information."

Shinpei came to a room on the second floor and put down his backpack.With a flash of the poke ball, Moon Eevee's small figure jumped out immediately, rubbing against Shinpei's body constantly.

"I'll trouble you, take care of my belongings, and if there is any unusual movement outside, please let me know." Shinpei patted Moon Eevee's smooth fur and patted his head.

Moon Eevee who received the order immediately perked up his ears, and nodded to Shinpei as if saluting.

Don't worry, with me here, nothing can steal anything!
Leaving the room, Zhenping wandered around the village for a while with nothing to do. Most of the residents in this village are the elderly and children, and the young and middle-aged seem to have gone to work and live in the nearby big cities, leaving these people with little ability to work to look after the house.

"Sigh, I didn't expect that there are left-behind children in the world of elves. Living in a big city is indeed too expensive."

Shinpei sighed thoughtfully. If he wanted to settle down in a big city like Shuijing City and Zijin City, he would need at least three or four thousand union currency per month in addition to the rent, which was too heavy for the villagers from these remote places.

Following the dirt road in the village, Zhenping quickly left the village and came to the nearby seaside.

The salty sea breeze blew in, making his hair flutter, and the dryness and heat on his body disappeared.

"Compared to Sinnoh's sea, Yoshien's sea is closer to the south after all, and the temperature and clarity are a notch higher!"

Shinpei was also in a good mood, released the Gyarados who had been bored for a long time, and let this big guy run wild in the sea.

As soon as the Gyarados came out, some hidden elves scattered in the surrounding waters and fled away. Under the pressure of the sudden intimidating aura, many wild fishes that were too close suddenly floated up with white bellies.

In this regard, the Gyarados naturally does not refuse anyone who comes, and opens its mouth wide, swallowing these wild fish.

After gazing at the Songshen Volcano on the beach for a while, Shinpei let the Gyarados, which had stretched its muscles and bones, return to the poke ball, and then turned back to the old man Qinghe's home. Qingyouzi had already cooked a table of dishes, waiting for Shinpei to serve.

"Guest, how about my craftsmanship? This saury stewed mushroom is our special dish, try it!"

Qingyuzi smiled and said that in order to take care of this rare guest, she took out almost all the ingredients in the house. Compared with the huge rent that Shinpei gave, the price of these things was not worth mentioning. This kind of hospitality made her feel a little more balanced.

After eating and drinking, Zhenping didn't wander around, but stayed quietly in the room on the second floor, looking at the cultivation notes given by Tie Xuan.

In the dead of night, when the lights in the village were turned off, Zhenping's temples throbbed faintly. It seemed that something was active around the village.
