I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

It was too easy to get things, which made Li Xiang start to think about whether this place might be a trap.

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

"What material is this... ivory pig tusks? Or some kind of plant?"

He looked down at the light orange and ivory-white Ocarina of the Sun, wiped off the mud and dirt on it, and found that this thing was of Iraqi quality and extremely tattered in every aspect.

Poke the soil inside the mouth of the pipe, and the situation inside is also not good. It makes people doubt whether it can still blow. Take it to a professional to have a look. Then it will be easier to repair or renovate.

Li Xiang took out the prepared wooden box and placed it in it.

Suddenly.

Lucario pushed his arm.

He turned his head, and suddenly there was a girl about 1.5 meters tall in the corner of his field of vision. She was approaching with three rather large 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. Koga Ninja had said that the other party had left the place not long ago. But he had no intention of communicating with this girl. After getting the Flute of the Sun, he should retreat. It would be better to do less than to do more.

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

"Hey! You hiding guy! Come out!"

She kept shouting while looking around, her vigilance evident. The three Pokémon used their own methods to examine potential enemies.

——The footprints were found.

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

Slip away.

He gave Koga Ninja and Lucario a look, put his arm around their shoulders, and jumped down from the cliff.

But before falling to the ground, Lucario's electromagnetic levitation used an incredible force to offset all the force of their fall.

"Let's go a little further and call for a boat."

Li Xiang turned his head and looked 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 the 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?

There are also oxidative decomposition caused by wind and rain. If it weren't for the special material of this thing, it might have been broken——

Maybe it's really bad.

He recalled the dire situation of the Flute of the Sun, put away Lucario, released Metagross, and quickly headed south.

Soon the familiar rocky beach arrived.

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

Ocean Village.

The boss who received the call looked surprised, "So fast?"

We set out around eight o'clock and it's only two o'clock in the afternoon. Are we going back now? Pokémon hunters aren't that fast, either. Maybe they were beaten too hard by the Coconut Trees and couldn't stay any longer, but they still wanted to save face and said these words.

possible.

Then you have to act quickly.

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

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

The clothes didn't look dirty at all.

What did he do?

Unable to hold it back, the boss stared at someone who was slowly walking onto the boat and asked in a low voice: "I would like to ask, are you going to tame wild Pokémon?"

"almost."

The latter responded casually.

The boss became more and more curious when he received such a confusing answer, but he was unwilling to tell and it was hard to follow up, so he could only drive the silent speedboat back to Ocean Village.

During this period, Li Xiang had been observing the Coconut Egg Tree Island, guessing whether the girl would appear very dramatically, and noted down the appearance of the bucket-pointed shuttle boat, so as to find him by following the clues.

pity.

This kind of plot in film and television works doesn't seem to apply to me.

Until the coconut palm island turned into a grain of rice under the naked eye, the girl and her Pokémon still hadn't appeared.

It’s not like we’re still fighting the “hidden enemy” in the north, right?

No way?

With questions, Li Xiang returned to Ocean Village.

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

He refused: "No, the ship still has departures. Please help me check out."

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

He tried it 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 any sound and he needed help.

The four islands are not small. Although they are less modern than the other three islands, they will probably have musical instrument shops.

"That's it."

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

"Um."

…

Lihu City.

This is the commercial, political and cultural center of the four islands. It has many hotels, restaurants and tropical-style shopping malls, making it a paradise for tourists.

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

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

——There’s nothing wrong with the idea, the only thing wrong is that things don’t go well.

These musical instrument stores either resolutely refuse to repair instruments purchased from non-stores, or simply do not have the ability to do so. Some even say they can repair them without even looking at them. How can Li Xiang rest assured?

If something bad happened, he wouldn't have anywhere to cry.

then.

His eyes shifted to some antique shops.

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

They are all typically done only once, and the key is that many people buy in one after another.

Li Xiang went around in circles for a whole day, not trusting to hand it over to any of them.

At this time, consulting "locals" became the only option.

In desperation.

He had no choice but to stay one night at the Sea View Hotel here, and the next day he went to contact a broker recommended to him by Grandpa Abi. The broker was also at the age of retirement, and he heard that he was introduced by an acquaintance.

Then I took Li Xiang to find a reliable master.

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

"Musical instruments? It's been a long time since I've handled something like this."

The old man pinched his beard, and his left eye was half closed and half open. It seemed that there was some muscle problem. "Young man, take it out and let me open your eyes."

"Your eyes."

He immediately took out the wooden box and showed the battle-damaged version of the Flute of the Sun to the other party.

The old man raised his eyebrows, "Is this... the Flute of the Sun?"

ah?

"Do you know it?" Li Xiang was surprised. He didn't expect that someone else knew this thing.

But since they know each other, why are they left on Coconut Egg Tree Island with no one caring about them?

The old broker on the other side had a strange expression on his face and said: "Is there anything you don't recognize about this? One of the standard musical instruments during festivals in the archipelago region... This one looks a bit dated."

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

The two of you talk to each other.

Li Xiang was confused, "Wait, are they? Standard musical instruments? Could it be that there are more Sun Flutes."

When the two old men saw his confused expression, they immediately showed a look of understanding.

Among them, the antique old man coughed twice, "Well... you don't have to worry. Although the format of the Flute of the Sun is not precious, yours is indeed quite old. I will help you appraise it. How much did you buy it for?"

The co-author thought Li Xiang had been deceived by some unscrupulous antique dealer.

But in fact.

He was more concerned about the standard instrument. The Sun Flute only appeared in the game and disappeared from the animation. Why are the Sun Flute here so common?

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 genuine product has been taken away, and the fake product will naturally be discarded...

For a while.

Li Xiang's expression changed many times.

The antique old man didn't notice, he was immersed in the Flute of the Sun in front of him, and then said in disbelief: "It's not a tooth product..."

"How to 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: "Normally, our Sun Flute is not made of ivory? But look at this, the material is obviously inconsistent with ivory."

"Is that a modern industrial imitation?"

"No, that's not the case. The glaze on it clearly wasn't artificially applied, and these things have not appeared even after hundreds of years of wind and rain."

The antique old man shook his head, looking at this thing with great wonder, "I have admired hundreds if not thousands of flutes. This kind of material is unheard of and unseen."

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

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

"Use? This is easy, but if you are too rough, the marks on it will be easily removed. I have to tell you in advance, the most valuable thing about antiques is the traces of time."

"I will definitely use it carefully - when will I pick it up?"

"If you're not busy, just wait here. I have nothing to do. Let the old man do some research while I repair it. Check the market situation related to musical instruments and help you set a suitable price."

"good!"

Li Xiang nodded, waiting nearby was the best option.

then.

He and the old broker observed the process of repairing the artifact together. Although the old man's hands were thin and frail, his hands were frighteningly stable. Whether it was clearing the soil or clearing the air holes, everything was done in an orderly manner.

"There's 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 aren't too serious. It's definitely enough to use it with care."

The antique old man said as he put the flute back into the wooden box, "From my perspective, this flute has a longer history than any other one I have ever seen. Although not many people speculate on the instrument, there are several hobbies It's a bit weird. It should be fetched several million, at 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.

A new look?

Impossible, the patina left by the years is still there, but it has become cleaner.

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

"What do you usually play on the Sun Flute during festivals?"

He suddenly realized a very serious issue. Legend has it that the Flute of the Sun was used to express gratitude to the beast that swallowed the sun and offer me music. But what exactly counts as Merlot, he doesn't know.

"That must be "Song of the Sun". This score has a long, long history. When the land gods were still around, this song had already appeared for a long time."

The old broker responded.

"Song of the Sun"

It seems to be right.

Li Xiang nodded. He planned to play this song when he went to the Rilun Altar later, "Old man, thank you very much."

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

"Initial copy?"

"Yes, there was once an original version of the Flute of the Sun. Legend has it that it was carved by the purest girl's hands and played ritual music in tribute to the beast that swallowed the sun. The rest can only be regarded as its imitations."

Pure girl...

Li Xiang's first reaction was the heroine of the game, Meiyue or Lillie, but then he shook his head, thinking that it was probably some unknown guy.

But no matter what, there is an original version of Flute of the Sun that has gone through Stone Hammer.

"Then do you know where the original version is?"

he asked.

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

Li Xiang asked, "Is there still a king of the island 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: "The kings and queens of the big island, the second island, and the three islands have all been persecuted for this. Our four islands are a little 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 experienced the chaotic era caused by the successive deaths of the last island kings.

Li Xiang nodded and closed the wooden box.

He personally prefers that the one in his hand is the original. 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 after you try it on the Sun Altar.

If you can seduce Little Nebula, it will be considered a success!

Li Xiang patted the Jinping Candy in his backpack. This stuff was said to be Cosmogu's favorite thing to eat. If he could find Little Nebula, he might be able to use this stuff to improve his favorability.

Think of this.

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