I'm not an elf supporting character

Chapter 886 Authenticity and imitation, the overflowing flute of the sun
It was too easy to get things, and Li Xiang began to think whether this place might be a trap.

But the dilapidated level of the small door in front of him is almost the same as that of the Sun Wheel Altar, and maintenance and preservation have not been considered at all.He once suspected that if these vines and weeds were pulled down, the stone gate would probably collapse along with it.

"What material is this... ivory pig's tusk? Or some kind of plant?"

He looked down at the light orange and ivory sun flute, wiped off the mud and dirt on it, and found that it was of Iraqi quality, and it was extremely dilapidated in every way.

Poke the soil in the mouth of the nozzle, the situation inside is also not good, making people quite doubt whether it can still blow... Take it to a professional to have a look, it will be easier to repair or refurbish at that time.

Li wanted to take out the prepared wooden box and put it in.

Suddenly.

Lucario pushed his arm.

He turned his head, and suddenly there was a girl about 1.5 meters in the corner of his vision. She approached here with three big Pokémon talking and laughing.

That little clay figurine just now?
It's actually a girl, but it's a pity that it's hard to tell her age from that face...

Li Xiang was not surprised to see the other party here. Jiahe Ninwa said not long ago that the other party left the place.But he has no intention of communicating with this girl. After getting the Flute of the Sun, it is time to retreat. It is better to have less than one more thing.

Never thought that the other party seemed to have discovered something while walking, and his face suddenly changed.

"Hey! Hidden guy! Come out!"

She kept shouting while looking around, her vigilance was beyond words, and the three Pokémon used their own methods to scrutinize potential enemies.

——Footprints have been found.

Li Xiang curled his lips. In a wet and muddy place like Coconut Egg Tree Island, if you want to leave no footprints, you have to sit on the back of the giant gold monster all the time, but he has no idea of ​​playing the lurking game.

slipped.

He gave Koga Ninja Frog and Lucario a look, put his arms around their shoulders, and jumped off the cliff.

But before falling to the ground, Lucario's electromagnetic levitation counteracted their falling force with an incredible force.

"Go around a little further and call the boat again."

Li Xiang turned his head to look at the cliff, and decided to go back to the south of the island and ask the boss to pick him up, so as not to be discovered by that girl.

As far as the door-shaped altar and the flute of the sun are concerned, it is unlikely that the other party is the owner of the island. Otherwise, even if there is no money to repair the altar, at least the flute of the sun should not fall to the ground, right?
The wind and rain also oxidize and decompose, etc. If it weren’t for the special material of this thing, it might have broken——

Maybe really bad.

He recalled that Ocarina of the Sun was in dire straits, gathered Lucario and unleashed the Metagros, and headed south quickly.

Soon the familiar rocky beach arrived.

Li Xiang pulled out his satellite phone and started contacting his Didi driver.

Ocean Village.

The boss who received the call showed a surprised expression, "So fast?"

We set off around [-]:[-] and it's not even [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Are you coming back now?Pokémon Hunter isn't so fast either, maybe it's because he was beaten too hard by the coconut egg trees and couldn't stay any longer but he said these words in a good way.

possible.

Then act quickly.

The boss quickly sailed to rescue the little brother, before he was driven into the sea by the coconut palm trees.

But when he saw Li Xiang intact by the stone beach, the boss was a little confused again.

The clothes didn't look dirty.

What did he do?
Really couldn't hold it back, the boss stared at someone who was slowly walking onto the boat, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask, are you going to tame wild Pokémon?"

"almost."

The latter responded casually.

The boss became more and more curious when he got such a confusing answer, but he didn't want to talk about it, and it was hard to ask to the end, so he had to drive Momo's speedboat back to Ocean Village.

During this period, Li Xiang has been observing Coconut Tree Island, guessing whether the girl will appear very dramatically, and taking note of the appearance of the shuttle boat, so as to find him by following the clues.

pity.

The plots in this kind of film and television works don't seem to apply to me.

Until the coconut egg tree island turned into a grain of rice under the naked eye, the girl and her Pokémon still did not show up.

It's not like fighting wits with the "hidden enemy" in the north, right?

No way?
With doubts, Li Xiang returned to Ocean Village.

"Stay one more night?" The boss's face was full of curiosity.

He refused: "No, there are still sailings on the ship, please help me check out."

He said that he wanted to leave the island, but in fact he just planned to go back to the nearest city to find a place where he could repair the Flute of the Sun.

He tried a little bit before, maybe there was something wrong with his mouth, maybe there was something wrong with the flute, but he couldn't make a sound and it looked like he was in urgent need of rescue.

The four islands are not small, and although they are less modernized than the other three, most of them will have musical instrument shops.

"That's it."

The boss sighed regretfully, with a business smile on his face. "Come take care of my business again if you have the opportunity."

"Ah."

……

Lihu City.

Here is the commercial and political cultural center of the four islands, with many hotels, restaurants and tropical shopping plazas, it can be called a tourist paradise.

The rich and diverse features made it easy for Li Xiang to find several musical instrument stores.

Although the Flute of the Sun is considered an antique, it is closer to a musical instrument in essence, so if you want to repair it, a musical instrument store is the best choice.

— There is nothing wrong with the idea, the only thing wrong is that things are not going well.

These musical instrument stores either resolutely do not provide repairs for instruments not purchased in the store, or simply do not have this ability, and some even say that they can be repaired even if they don’t look at it. How can Li Xiang feel relieved?

In case something bad happens, he has nowhere to cry.

then.

His eyes shifted to some antique shops.

But musical instrument stores are unreliable, but are antique stores reliable?Of course not, and even they are a little bit outrageous.Not to mention fakes flying all over the sky, some very common items have a history of thousands or hundreds of years, and their prices have increased dozens of times in an instant because they have a bit of archipelago characteristics.

It is a typical one-time business, and the key is that many people buy it one after another.

Li Xiang went around for a day, not at all worried about handing it over to any of them.

At this time, consulting "locals" has become the only option.

In desperation.

He had to stay here for one night at the Seaview Hotel, and the next day he contacted a broker recommended to him by Abby's grandfather. The other party was also at the age of retirement.

This led Li Xiang to find a reliable teacher.

I heard that when the other party was young, he once opened an archipelago version of the pawnshop by taking advantage of the pawnshop trend that emerged in Zhuxia. Although it has been closed for a long time, he has developed a good eye and good craftsmanship over the years.

"Musical instruments? I haven't handled this kind of thing for a long time."

The old man pinched his beard, his left eye was half-closed and half-opened, as if there was something wrong with his muscles, "Young man, take it out and let the old man open his eyes."

"You palm your eyes."

He immediately took out the wooden box and showed the other party the war-damaged version of the Ocarina of the Sun inside.

The old man raised his eyebrows, "This is... the Flute of the Sun?"

what?
"You know it?" Li Xiang was stunned, he didn't expect someone to know this thing.

But since they knew each other, why are they still left on Coconut Tree Island?

The old broker on the other side said with a strange expression: "I don't know this. It's one of the standard musical instruments during festivals in the archipelago... This one looks a bit dated."

"Well, yes." The old man Antique nodded.

Both of you talk to each other.

Li Xiang was stunned, "Wait, they? Standard instruments? Could it be the Flute of the Sun?"

Seeing his bewildered expression, the two old men immediately showed a clear expression.

Among them, the antique old man coughed twice, "Well...you don't have to worry, although the system of the Sun Flute is not precious, but yours is indeed a bit old, I will help you identify it, how much did you buy?"

The old man who co-authored thought that Li Xiang was cheated by some unscrupulous antique dealer.

But in fact.

He is more concerned about standard musical instruments. The Flute of the Sun has only appeared in the game, and it simply disappeared in the animation. Why are there so many Flute of the Sun here?

Could it be that the one in his hand is just a replica?
In this case, it may not be difficult to understand that the "Flute of the Sun" was thrown on the ground. Perhaps the real product has been taken away, and the fake product will naturally be discarded...

a time.

Li Xiang's face changed many times.

The old man Antique didn't notice, he was completely immersed in the flute of the sun in front of him, and then said in disbelief: "It's not a dental product..."

"How should I say it?" The old broker also became interested, of course he just wanted to know how much someone would lose.

The antique old man replied: "Normal, isn't our Sun Flute all made of ivory? But look at this, the material obviously doesn't match ivory."

"Is that a modern industrial imitation?"

"No, it's not. The glaze on it doesn't appear to be artificial at first glance, and these things won't appear after hundreds of years of wind and rain."

The old man Antique shook his head, looking at this thing, he was deeply amazed, "I have admired hundreds if not thousands of flutes. I have never heard of this kind of material, and I have never seen it before."

The other party's words caught Li Xiang's attention.

"Can it be repaired? It's up to the standard of normal use."

"Use? This is simple, but if it is too rough, it will easily remove the marks on it. I have to tell you in advance that the most valuable thing about antiques is the traces of these years."

"I'll definitely use it carefully—then when will I get it?"

"If you're not busy, you can wait here. You just have nothing to do. Let me, the old man, do some research while repairing it. Look up the market related to musical instruments and help you set a suitable price."

"it is good!"

Li Xiang nodded, waiting by the side is the best choice.

then.

He and the broker old man observed a process of repairing the artifact. Although the antique old man was thin and thin, his hands were stable and terrifying. Whether it was clearing the soil or dredging the air holes, he was methodical.

"There is nothing wrong with your flute. Apart from the fact that it looks like it was just dug out of the ground, the signs of weathering and corrosion are not too serious. It is definitely enough to use it carefully."

The antique old man put the flute back into the wooden box while talking, "In my eyesight, the history of this flute is longer than any one I have ever seen. It's weird. A few million should be able to be auctioned, an auction the year before last..."

He was talking about the antique industry, but Li Xiang's attention was completely focused on the Flute of the Sun.

Freshen up?
Impossible, the patina left by the years above still exists, but it has become a little cleaner.

The old man Antique said that he couldn't blow it out. One was a fingering problem, and the other was that the air holes were blocked.

"During festivals, what do you usually play on the flute of the sun?"

He suddenly realized a very serious question. Legend has it that the flute of the sun is used to express gratitude to the beast that devours the sun and present it with music.But exactly what constitutes Merlot, he didn't know.

"It must be "Song of the Sun". This score has a long, long history. When the land gods were still there, this song has been around for a long time."

The old broker replied.

"Song of the Sun"

It seems to match up.

Li Xiang nodded, and he planned to play this piece of music when he went to the altar of the sun wheel, "Thank you very much, old man."

The antique old man waved his hand, "It's a small matter, but the Flute of the Sun is so old... Maybe it's the original copy."

"Initial copy?"

"Yes, there used to be an original version of the Flute of the Sun. Legend has it that it was carved by the purest girl herself, and played ritual music dedicated to the beast that devours the sun. The latter can only be regarded as its counterfeit."

Pure girl...

Li Xiang's first reaction was the heroine of the game, Mizuki or Lillie, but then he shook his head, thinking that it might be someone unknown.

But no matter what, the original version of the Ocarina of the Sun was stone hammered.

"Then do you know where the original is?"

he asked.

"It should be in the hands of the island king of our island, I'm not sure." The antique old man shook his head.

Li Xiang asked, "Is there an island king on this island?"

"There is only one name left. After the land god disappears, the existence of the island king becomes meaningless."

The old broker sighed and said, "The island kings and queens of Da Dao, Er Dao and San Dao have all been persecuted for this. Our Si Dao is slightly different. But in the end, there is no difference."

The old people may not have seen the death of the land gods, but they have all experienced the chaotic era caused by the successive passing of the last king of the island.

Li Xiang nodded and closed the wooden box.

He personally prefers that the one in his hand is the original version. On the one hand, the antique old man also said that the material is special, and on the other hand, it is old enough.

Whether it is really useful or not, you will know if you try it on the sun wheel altar.

If you can lure Xiao Xingyun over, you will be considered a success!
Li Xiang patted the Jinping Tang in his backpack. It is said that this thing is Cosmog's favorite food. If he can find Xiao Xingyun, he might be able to use this thing to increase his favorability.

thought here.

While it was still early, he sat on the back of the Sword Monster and went to the Sun Wheel Altar.
