Elf King

Chapter 42 Aquarium

"It should be visible from this hillside."

Walking out of a dense forest, Serena trotted all the way to a small hillside.

Seeing this, Kelong also quickened his pace to keep up. Looking down from the hillside, the first thing he saw was a group of houses with white walls and red roofs. In the distance, there was only a blue horizontal line, where clouds and waves gathered. The sky and sea of ​​the same color blend together.

"Well, it's really comfortable, and the sea is quite nice."

Cologne breathed the moist sea breeze with an intoxicated look.

"This is Red Deer Town, and it's also a famous seaside resort in the Carlos area."

Serena took out the pink illustrated book and read the introduction on it.

Standing on the beach by the sea, Cologne looked into the distance, and the waves were layered on top of each other, rolling up bursts of salty sea breeze.

"Is it the sea? Maybe I can meet a good water-type Pokémon."

Colon looked at the sea and expressed his emotion.

"Hey, there's another place I want to go!"

Serena's slightly dissatisfied voice came from behind Colon.

"Oh yeah? So where do you want to go?"

Cologne is not an autocratic person either, he looked at Serena with great interest and said.

"Qiangqiang"

"Of course it's the Red Deer Aquarium. I heard that there are water-type Pokémon from various regions. I've always wanted to visit here before I set off."

It was still the pink illustrated book, Serena held it up in her hand, and released the picture of the aquarium.

"Aquarium? It sounds good too, let's go and relax today."

The multi-day journey also made Cologne feel somewhat relaxed.

"Ah, it's a cherry blossom fish. It's so beautiful that it's all pink."

"That's a pearl oyster, it looks cute too."

Serena put her hands on the transparent glass in the aquarium, and said with an excited face.

Suddenly, an ancient coelacanth appeared in front of Serena who was attracted by other cute Pokémon.The huge shadow in the corner of the eye made Serena look back curiously.

"Ah! What kind of Pokémon is this!"

Serena was taken aback by the not-so-beautiful appearance, her two feet accidentally tripped together, and her body fell backwards involuntarily.

"Be careful."

Colon, who was standing right next to Serena, naturally stepped forward quickly, holding Serena's waist firmly with both hands.

However, probably because of the close physical contact, Cologne looked a little shy. After he helped Serena up, he quickly let go of his hand, said a word of concern, and then stopped talking.

In the underwater tunnel, Cologne and Serena always kept a small distance, and an ambiguous and embarrassing atmosphere permeated the middle.

Another huge black shadow flew over the head. Although Serena, who had been frightened just now, was better than before, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is that?"

"Giant fin flying fish, its huge wings allow it to glide on the water for a distance of more than 100 meters."

As a child who has been familiar with the encyclopedia of Pokémon types since childhood, Cologne naturally knows these Pokémon clearly.

"Really? It's really amazing!"

A compliment with an exclamation tone came from Serena's mouth, but who was she praising?

Through this underwater channel, what appeared in front of their eyes was a tropical venue with warm colors.

"Well, you are really good at dancing, Carp King."

Cologne's ordinary exclamation made Serena, who didn't know anything about it, quickly take out the illustration book to check the information of the Pokémon in front of her.

"King Carp, a fish Pokémon, is usually considered the weakest Pokémon because it simply jumps and doesn't fight."

"However, due to the extremely tenacious vitality, they can survive no matter how dirty the water is, so the number is so large that it is almost tiresome." A mechanically synthesized voice came from the illustrated book.

"There are a lot of carp kings living in this bay."

A strange voice came to their ears, and when they turned their heads, they saw a well-dressed old man with a colorful note parrot standing on his shoulder.

"excuse me, you are?"

Although he was a stranger, Cologne still maintained the necessary respect for the elders.

"Haha, I'm just a nosy person."

The old man's cheerful laughter drove the note parrot to quack.

"Speaking of which, you should be tourists from other places. If you don't mind, let me take you to meet that thing."

The enthusiastic old man sent a mysterious invitation to the two of Cologne.

Walking out of this huge aquarium, to a terrace outside, a huge golden carp king statue shines brightly in the sunlight.

"Is there something wrong with this carp king statue?"

Although this statue is very gorgeous, it makes sense for Cologne to bring them here specially.

"This statue of the Carp King carries many dreams! As for the details, you'd better ask him, he knows everything about this place."

"He's the curator of this aquarium."

The old man walked to the side of the fence, pointed to a fish-like man by the sea and said.

"Sounds interesting."

Serena seemed to be very interested in this, and seeing this, Colon accompanied Serena to the beach outside.

"Then...well, are you the owner of the aquarium?"

Serena approached the boulder where the old fisherman was sitting, and asked in a cautious tone.

"Well, I am the curator of this aquarium, Lu Dan."

The old fisherman turned around and stood up, and replied kindly.

"Well, we saw the golden carp king statue just now, is there really one here?"

Serena asked with an expectant tone, as if hoping to be confirmed by the curator.

"Oh, are you talking about the statue? This is a legend that involves us here."

"The waters in this area used to be very popular for diving, but there was a fisherman who was attacked by a gem starfish's electricity while diving, and almost drowned in the sea. But at this time, the huge golden carp king rescued him and brought him to the beach. "

"Also, there are often rumors of sightings of the Golden Carp King here."

"After these rumors were heard by the good mayor, he immediately sent someone to build a huge golden carp king statue in the aquarium."

"And I also want to bring the golden carp king to the aquarium so that more people can see it."

"Well, that's about it, girl."

The old curator explained clearly the origin of the whole statue in one breath.

"That would be wonderful."

"Then let us help too."

Serena, who agrees with this thought, begged loudly.

"Oh, do you want to come fishing too?"

The old curator took out the other two fishing rods from the luggage and handed them to Cologne and Serena respectively.

"Facing the sea, it's not bad to sit here peacefully and fish."

Thinking like this, Kelong threw the hook far away and sat down safely.
