Legend of the Elven Investigator

Qiefeng City.

Located in the northernmost part of the Sinnoh continent, Qiefeng City is covered with snowflakes most of the time of the year, and the land is frozen all year round. It is a special city with a very harsh living environment.

Except for the trainers who came specially to challenge Xuefeng Gym, one of the eight avenues, and some travelers who are curious about the world of ice and snow, few people will come here.

Riding on the private spaceship exclusive to the King of Heaven, Harvey and others passed through the tall and sprawling Dianyuan Mountains, passed through the ice field jungle that was still thriving in the ice and snow, and finally arrived at the target city.

"The cold here is still the same, it makes people refreshed!"

Harvey was only wearing a thin combat uniform. The strong physique of a fighter made him fearless of the severe cold, and he even felt a little bit of spirit boosted by this harsh environment.

Yumi, Leisi, Ah Xun and the others honestly put on a warm down jacket over their combat uniforms, rubbing their hands together to keep warm.

"It's too cold, and it's winter at this time, which is the coldest time." Compared with the past, Lei Si was more mature and stable. At this moment, he was accompanied by a young man with a [-]% similar face but a completely different temperament.

"Shinji, this is the first time you have followed me on a mission, don't act without authorization."

This young man in a dark uniform with an expressionless face is one of Satoshi's old enemies in the original book, Shinji Curtain.

"Understood brother, I have graduated from Veil Academy and officially became an alliance investigator. The first thing I learned in the investigator training is to obey orders." However, compared to that Shinji, the calm young man in front of him has less shadow and more sunshine in his eyes.

"Hey, Shinji boy, with Uncle Ah Xun here, I will naturally keep you safe. I am a genius investigator with a mission completion rate of 95%. This problem is a bit of a problem."

Ah Xu's cheeks were flushed from the cold, and he was rubbing his face frantically at the moment, with a cheap smile on his face that made Yumei unable to bear to look directly at him.

This guy has been like this for so many years.

It was really carved out of the same mold as his father, the leader of the frontier area.

Looking at the group of young people around him, Harvey couldn't help but feel younger.

Young is so good.

Stepping into the snow-covered city square, a tall figure in a black women's windbreaker, long blond hair hanging down to her waist, and one eye covered by bangs slowly appeared in front of Harvey.

"Miss Zhulan."

"Harvey, you're finally here."

In the past five years, the two have fought side by side many times, and their relationship is not too unfamiliar, and they quickly became acquainted.

"Master Champion." Reiss said.

"Sister Zhulan." Yumi and Ah Xun laughed.

Compared with the two who have met Zhulan many times and have a closer relationship, the Leisi brothers are much more cautious. When the youngest Shinji saw this prestigious champion, he immediately showed a belligerent look, but he was pulled back immediately by his brother, so he didn't jump out to ask for a fight.

"In the last encirclement and suppression campaign of the temple, I let the master of the secret religion get away. This time, it took me a lot of effort to find some clues. According to the intelligence, the last trace of the master of the secret religion [Adam] appeared here. He also left a special coordinate imprint, which may be to summon the remaining members of the secret religion from all over the mainland."

Zhulan and Harvey walked side by side, and the others followed.She also took this opportunity to analyze and share some secret information.

In the previous battle, Zhulan went to the base camp of the temple alone, and fought fiercely with the esoteric believers who were exposed and attempted to launch evil rituals to resonate with the evil god in the void.

Even though her personal strength was almost invincible, the unsuspecting powerhouses in the entire temple and the premeditated Secret Cultists could not completely suppress the young champion.

But the lord of the secret religion codenamed [Adam] still took advantage of the chaos and disappeared without a trace.

The disappearance of such an extremely dangerous figure from the league's sight undoubtedly made many people sleepless.

"This time, I will assist you to solve this person completely!"

Harvey let out a cold snort, shook his iron fist, released the terrible sense of oppression, and all the trainers around felt their hearts shake.

"Unfortunately, apart from discovering Adam's whereabouts, we don't know what his real purpose is." There was a hint of worry in Zhulan's eyes. For so many years, Adam has been dormant and hidden, so he must be planning something.

"And as soon as he shows up, he appears in Qiefeng City, here... has a special place." Zhulan said.

Harvey frowned, and immediately understood her worry: "You mean, his goal may be the Xuefeng Temple? It is indeed very possible that the only place that can arouse his interest in such a bitterly cold place like Qiefeng City is this Xuefeng Temple."

Zhulan nodded slightly.

Xuefeng Temple is the oldest and most hidden area in Qiefeng City.

It is located on the cliff next to the Lake of Wisdom. Historical records can be traced back to before the birth of the Human Alliance. In that chaotic era, this existence had already appeared here.

However, although Xuefeng Temple also bears the word "sacred temple", it has nothing to do with the temple on Tianguan Mountain that claims to be the spokesperson of God.

The Xuefeng Temple is guarded by the Qiefeng Gym and the family behind it.

Wagner, the captain of the Qiefeng team who temporarily formed the joint team of the curtain team led by He Zhenping on the remote island at that time, was one of the young strongmen of this family.

I heard that this young Mr. Wagner had already broken through the limit of the Heavenly King a few years ago and became a powerful Heavenly King-level trainer.

"Since Adam's goal is likely to be the Xuefeng Temple, we might as well set traps around the temple and wait for work." Harvey suggested.

The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, and even the alliance's intelligence network cannot provide effective intelligence support.

Harvey can often recall that the vibrating metal fragments that Shinpei gave him for safekeeping were taken away by Adam. Now that he has obtained this mysterious item for many years, no one knows what he has deciphered from it and what he is planning.

If that thing hadn't been taken away, the current situation would be much better, at least not so passive.

"I have already communicated with the Qiefeng gymnasium, and they also agreed with our actions, and they also sent the Wagner who has the title of "Ice Field Son" to cooperate with our actions."

"Of course, our actions cannot endanger the bottom area of ​​Xuefeng Temple. In that area, there seems to be a great existence sleeping."

The legendary King of Sacred Pillars—Regichkas!

According to the description of the master of Qiefeng gymnasium, in the information passed down from generation to generation in their family, there are some records about the legendary master of giants.

Sacred Pillar King Regichkas.Legend has it that icebergs, rocks, lava and other materials were used to create elves that resembled themselves. The most well-known ones are the Rock God Pillar Reggie Locke, the Ice God Pillar Regice, and the Steel God Pillar Regis Chiru.

These three legendary elves have been found in many ancient ruins. It seems that in the long past, the three divine pillars were used as a large number of weapons to guard these places.

However, according to some studies of Zhulan, it seems that there are different forms of divine pillars in other, more distant places.

"Champion, King Harvey. Long wait."

The group wandered for a long time, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip, near the Xuefeng Temple.

The one who stayed here to greet everyone was a tall and burly man with a bushy beard and deep blue eyes.

"Mr. Wagner, long time no see."

Harvey greeted him first, saying that he and this person once had a relationship on a remote island.

Wagner, like the ice and snow in the extreme north, brought an extraordinary sense of alienation to everyone.

However, Kazumi, Leisi and others, this man with a temperament like an ice field, is much more enthusiastic, and the days of adventures on the island are still vivid in his memory.

"Friends, I will treat you well when I come to Qiefeng City this time." Varner laughed boldly, which made Shinji, who was not familiar with him, feel a little out of harmony.

This man who was colder than him actually smiled so presumptuously.

"Come with me, everyone, and I will take you to visit the Xuefeng Temple first, where we can continue to discuss how to solve the trouble of the Lord of the Esoteric Cult."

Wagner became enthusiastic and led everyone to the ground floor of Xuefeng Temple.

"This ancient ice and snow temple has a total of six floors above the ground. Of course, there are several floors underground."

"The underground space is very dangerous, and there are even some restrictions that we don't fully understand. Once triggered, even the strongest of the Heavenly King level will lose their skin, so I won't take you down."

What Wagner said was very cryptic, and everyone did not continue to delve into it. After all, this is a forbidden area passed down from generation to generation. It is already a very tolerant behavior to allow them to come in and complete the task.

It's just that Zhulan stared at the textured murals on the wall and the stone bricks on the ground, silently lost in thought.

"This layer is a mural that symbolizes the Iron Age. You can see the traces left over from the ancient times. They all depict how humans used iron and developed civilization."

Wagner introduced slowly.

Indeed, on the space of the wall, there are some human beings who hold primitive iron objects and behave in a very rough manner. In addition, there are steel elves such as big steel snakes and small magnetites.

"What about the upper floors? Are they similar?"

Faced with Reiss' question, Wagner's fingers slowly brushed over the mural reliefs, showing a smile: "The second floor above actually symbolizes the murals of the Stone Age, which are more primitive than the Iron Age.

The third layer should correspond to the Ice Age, because the above descriptions are all ice elves. "

In addition to Harvey, there are three other heavenly kings who have not yet arrived. Before the mission started, the group simply followed Wagner, the host, to get acquainted with Xuefeng Temple.

Everyone came to the fourth floor.

"These murals... don't seem to describe humans, if I'm not mistaken."

Zhulan suddenly stopped walking, put one hand on her chest, the other hand supported her chin, and fell into deep thought.

"Indeed, as a matter of fact, the information passed down by our family has already been broken from the third floor up. Because of the loss of information, we ourselves don't know what it symbolizes."

Wagner was not embarrassed either, telling the truth.

Even the owner here didn't know what it meant, and immediately everyone became more interested.

However, compared with the Ice Age, Stone Age, and Iron Age clearly described on the first three floors, the murals on this floor have become vague and abstract.

The protagonists of the murals are no longer human beings, but some huge creatures with various postures.

Everyone even saw some vague traces similar to Gulardo and Gaioka.

"The description above seems to be a mythical beast from ancient times?"

Wagner said with a smile: "Maybe, but with our current conditions, it is impossible to know the complete truth."

"Don't be confused. Apart from the relatively high historical value, these statues have no other special functions. Just take a look. Next, let's discuss how to deal with the lord of the secret religion."

Although Yumi and the others still want to continue to ask questions, the purpose of coming here is not to visit the historical sites, and to get rid of Adam, a dangerous person comparable to Chihi, is the top priority.

After everyone turned and left, Zhulan still stayed where she was.

In the center of her line of sight, a totem depicting some kind of huge four-legged existence with a cross-shaped wheel inserted behind it took up a lot of space.

Below it, some upright beings that are also huge but closer to human form seem to be kneeling on the ground to express their submission.

"Hmm...it looks...why does it look a bit like that existence?"
