Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Om..."

The plane roared and landed steadily on the ground. Lin Shi walked out of the airport leisurely wearing sunglasses.

Thanks for the invitation. I’m in Qinhuang and just got off the plane.

Lin Shi asked Zhang Shuiying for leave in order to come to Qinhuang City before going to Kunlun Mountain for practical activities. This time his goal was very clear, to enter the secret realm, return to the Spirit Tower, and allow the double scabbards to complete their evolution.

After nearly a year of getting along, Lin Shi and the double scabbards have now become quite compatible with each other, and their levels have also improved significantly. With the continuous absorption of the steel power in the bronze fragments, they have gradually made up for their last shortcoming.

After a period of consideration, Lin Shi decided to let the double sword sheaths complete their evolution. After all, the time to enter the Baishan Secret Realm was getting closer. Letting the double sword sheaths complete their evolution one day earlier could also provide an extra guarantee for Lin Shi's life safety.

Indeed, he already had the Dark Stone found in the secret ruins in his hands, which was a necessary item for the evolution of the dual scabbards. It could be said that he could evolve the dual scabbards anytime and anywhere, but Lin Shi did not intend to complete this last step so hastily.

After some research, it was found that the environment in which the elves evolve is also an important factor in their evolution. This not only affects whether the elves can successfully complete the evolution, but is also closely related to their strength and potential after evolution.

If Lin Shi's Growlithe had not evolved by accident, under normal circumstances, Lin Shi would have definitely looked for a suitable place, at least a place with plenty of fire energy, and then used the Fire Stone to evolve it into Arcanine.

Thinking of this, Lin Shi sighed slightly. Almost two years had passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't know how Windy Dog was doing in the secret realm...

He shook his head gently, brought his thoughts back to life, and continued to think about the evolution of the double scabbards. As for the most suitable place for the evolution of the double scabbards, Lin Shi almost immediately thought of Neftina's Soul Tower.

Or to be more precise, it was the pitch-black third floor of the black tower, which was filled with pure darkness. That floor gave Lin Shi the most bizarre feeling, and the suffocating darkness still made him feel frightened.

Because of this, for the dual scabbards that are to be evolved using the Dark Stone, this is the most suitable location and the best breeding ground. The extremely powerful dark power within it will make the dual scabbards even more powerful after evolution and maximize their potential.

Therefore, after summoning Neftina back last time, Lin Shi specifically asked it about the way to enter the tower. It was actually not difficult, but the most important thing was that he needed to return to the secret realm of the Phantom Fire Desert. This was the purpose of Lin Shi's return to Qinhuang City.

After returning here again, Lin Shi first went to the Institute of Archaeology. Su Yu and Luo Wenjun had been doing scientific research here during this period of time. Since they were here, Lin Shi naturally had to say hello to them and greet them.

"Lin Shi is back..."

"Long time no see, Junior Brother Lin Shi..."

As soon as he entered the research institute, Lin Shi met a lot of acquaintances. Most of them were archaeological team members who entered the Qin Emperor's Secret Realm together at that time. They were friends for life and death with each other, and they all showed some cordiality when they met Lin Shi.

Lin Shi kept nodding and greeting along the way, and finally stopped at the door of Su Yu's office, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Here comes the hour. Sorry, I was too busy at work to pick you up."

Su Yu was the only one in the office. When he saw Lin, he smiled and acted very friendly.

"Why would I need to trouble Uncle Su with such a small matter?"

Lin Shi said with a smile and sat down on the chair in front of Su Yu.

"Where's Aunt Luo? Isn't she here?"

Realizing that he seemed to have not seen Luo Wenjun for a long time, Lin Shi asked curiously.

"Oh Wenjun, she is currently preparing for a new archaeological project in our hometown, exploring the ruins of the secret place in Mojiang City."

Su Yu had nothing to hide from Lin Shi and told him the truth.

"Mojiang City..."

Lin Shi was slightly stunned when he heard the familiar name. Come to think of it, he seemed to still have the access right to the Mojiang Secret Realm. He had asked the high school principal for it in order to subdue Suo Cailing.

I had thought I would consider it once I was stronger, but I didn’t expect it to be delayed for so long…

This is also normal. There are also several large ruins in the Mojiang Secret Realm, which is also quite famous in the industry.

"What about Uncle Su? What is he researching recently? Is it still about the relics in the Qin Emperor's secret realm?"

Lin Shi continued to chat with Su Yu.

At this point, Su Yu was obviously interested, and he gently adjusted his glasses and said:

"That's right. Although we have found the tomb of Queen Nefertina, after several subsequent archaeological excavations, we discovered that there are still many undiscovered secrets in the Qin Emperor's Secret Realm."

"secret?"

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows. Was there any secret in the Qinhuang Secret Realm that he didn't know about? Niftina didn't say it...

"Yes."

Su Yu nodded seriously and said seriously.

"Inside the collapsed and ruined Queen's Mausoleum, we found some severely damaged written records, which mentioned a building called the Soul Tower."

"But unfortunately, the recorded text is severely damaged, so we still don't know the specific purpose of its construction. We can only vaguely read that it seems to be related to "suppression" or "protection". But I have a hunch that it must be the most important building in the entire secret ruins."

Su Yu talked freely and told Lin Shi the news one by one.

"But we searched almost every corner of the secret realm and spent a lot of time and energy, but we still couldn't find the mysterious tower. It was as if it collapsed and dissipated along with the fall of the Desert Kingdom, shattered in the sand."

Su Yu's tone was a little lonely. For an archaeologist, it was really unpleasant to be able to uncover the veil of history and reveal its true side but be unable to do so.

Lin Shi scratched his face and looked at Su Yu, not knowing what to say. In fact, it was normal that they couldn't find the Soul Tower. It did not exist completely within the secret space, but in a special narrow space. It could only be summoned by special methods to appear.

"I don't think Uncle Su needs to worry too much. Not finding this tower doesn't mean we can't find other historical materials. After all, the desert is so big, there must be a lot of relics buried."

After thinking about it, Lin Shi said comfortingly.

"Yeah, I know." Su Yu nodded.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what you are doing here yet?"

Lin Shi came suddenly, and when Su Yu got the news, Lin Shi's plane had already landed.

"Oh, I want to enter the Qinhuang Secret Realm once and help the double scabbards find a suitable place to complete their evolution."

Lin Shi told the truth, but obviously would not tell Su Yu that the place he was talking about was the Soul Tower that he had been thinking about day and night.

"I see. I thought..."

Su Yu murmured softly.

"What did Uncle Su say just now?" Lin Shi asked with a frown.

"Oh no, I was asking if you could help..."

Su Yu reacted and replied.
