Pokémon: From Magikarp

……

"That's it, do you understand, brave man?"

Shivali asked softly.

"Um……"

Lin Shi touched his chin and nodded. Through Shivali and Wadiye's descriptions just now, Lin Shi roughly knew the whole picture of the matter. To sum it up, it was probably:

A long, long time ago, a giant bird suddenly appeared.

It brings disaster, occupies water sources, and hovers in the sky.

The kingdom was in great danger, the ground was gradually drying up, and the queen led her army to fight the giant bird for three days and three nights.

The giant bird was very powerful, and the queen was outnumbered...

Suddenly a prophecy appears and a brave man is about to appear.

He would hold the best sword, wear the strongest armor, ride the fastest horse, and kill the giant bird in the sky...

"Uh, what are you humming, Mr. Hero?"

Wadiye asked, looking at Lin with confusion.

"what?"

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment, then he regained his composure and shook his head.

"Nothing much, just a little song from my hometown."

The rest of the story is normal. The brave man in the prophecy killed the giant bird, saved the entire kingdom, and became the hero of the desert kingdom.

Lin Shi licked his cracked lips. Due to the rampage of the giant bird, the entire kingdom was in a water shortage crisis. Now that he had inexplicably become a hero, he had become everyone's hope.

Lin Shi was somewhat curious about this legendary giant bird. It was so powerful that it could suppress an entire country on its own. If nothing unexpected happened, it must also be a legend...

"My dear brave man, if there is no problem, you need to proceed to the third level of bravery. Please do not delay any further. Thank you for your help."

Shivali bowed slightly and said respectfully, after all, the national crisis is serious now and no time can be delayed.

The so-called three levels of bravery are the only way to become a brave man. Only by completing these three tests can one be considered a true brave man and be qualified to challenge the giant bird.

"call……"

Lin Shi took a deep breath and nodded to Shivali.

Shivali also responded and clapped her hands towards the door.

"come in."

Just as he finished speaking, a young girl walked in respectfully with a tray in her hand. On the tray was a purple-black armor that was exquisitely made and exuded the aura of shadow.

Lin Shi took a look and was instantly attracted by this beautiful armor.

"This is Dark Star Armor, made from meteorite iron from outer space. It was forged by the kingdom's best forging master who spent several years fusing a variety of rare treasures. It has extremely strong defense and can absorb and block damage."

Shivali introduced to Lin Shi.

"This is your first level. You will be good to go once you successfully put on this Dark Star Armor."

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows slightly. This didn't sound difficult.

As if she had seen through Lin Shi’s thoughts, Shivali reminded him in time:

"Please be careful, brave man. It is said that this armor has a spirit. Only those who are recognized by it can wear it. Those who wear the armor without permission will fall into endless darkness."

"Of course, it's just a rumor. In fact, many of us have come into contact with it, but nothing unexpected has happened."

After listening to Shivali's words, Lin Shi nodded.

He reached out to take the armor, but his brows raised.

Light, very light.

It is such a big piece of armor, but it seems to have no weight. It is really magical. Lin Shi began to get interested.

"Please help me put it on."

Lin Shi said softly, and the girl who had just come in with the armor immediately came forward to help Lin Shi put on the armor.

"It fits you well, brave man."

The one who spoke was Wadiye. At this moment, Lin Shi had already finished most of his dressing, with only the helmet left to wear. But even so, the coolness of the whole set of armor was still a little beyond Lin Shi's expectations. It was so high-profile that it was really inconsistent with his usual style.

"call……"

Lin Shi took a deep breath and put on the last helmet steadily. In an instant, Lin Shi felt that the sky suddenly darkened and endless darkness spread towards him.

The feeling was just like the first time he entered the third floor of the Black Tower. The darkness was endless, his senses were weakened, and he was swaying in the dark ocean like a rootless duckweed.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and the light filled his eyes again, completely dispelling the original darkness.

At the same time, he felt as if he had an indescribable connection with the armor on his body, as if the armor was a part of his body and he could control it at will.

Several people gathered around and looked at Lin Shi, who also kept looking at the armor on his body and nodded slightly. Not bad, it fits well...

"Great, it seems there will be no problem with this level. How do you feel, brave man?"

Shivali said happily that Lin Shi did not show any abnormal behavior, which meant that he had passed this level.

"not bad."

Lin Shi spoke truthfully. Although he had never worn such armor before, this one would not affect his movements.

"That's good. Without further ado, let's continue to complete the second level, brave hero."

Shivali couldn't wait to say that Lin Shi's successful completion of the first level also ignited the spark of hope in her. Perhaps this young brave man was really the one who could save the entire kingdom as predicted.

Lin Shi had no objection to this. In fact, he also hoped to speed up the process, complete the procedures as soon as possible, and then find a way out. He had a hunch that as long as he fulfilled the responsibilities of a brave man, he could return to his original world.

"What is the next level?" Lin Shi asked.

"The next level is not here. Please follow me."

With that, Shivali and Wadiye took the lead to leave the room, and Lin Shi followed behind them. He did not take off the Dark Star Armor, it was not heavy anyway, and it was convenient to wear it.

"My dear brave man, do you know anything about that evil bird?" Shivali asked Lin Shi on the way.

Lin Shi shook his head.

"Very little."

Nonsense, he had only been here for a few hours. Apart from knowing that the evil bird was quite large and was suspected to be a legend, he knew nothing else.

Shivali was not surprised. In fact, even they knew very little about the giant black bird that suddenly appeared.

"My lord, judging from our recent battles with the evil bird, the evil bird is extremely powerful. Although it has been injured for some unknown reason, we are still no match for it."

Shivali told Lin some of the information she knew.

"It possesses a very terrifying ability. When it fights, it vibrates its wings and emits an evil aura."

"People and elves affected by this aura will feel a burning pain in their souls, and will become extremely tired. That is why Her Majesty the Queen has to temporarily retreat to recuperate."

Hearing Shivali's description, Lin Shi pinched his nose.

Very good, he already knew who this evil bird in the rumors was. Sure enough, it was another legend...
