This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 256: First experience of fighting against the fortress

In the afternoon of June 6, the sky was high and the clouds were clear.

The intercity train's special train against the city stopped steadily on the platform, and tourists stepped off one after another.

"The lunch in the car is indeed a bit mediocre. You don't care. You just treated my stomach badly. It's really miserable..."

"Machi~!"

"No, you didn't eat anything from the car, what are you echoing?"

"March (￣～￣)"

"Good guy, when did you get these snacks?"

"Buy~"

"Did you take Sun Ibrahimovic, you can pet it! No wonder I couldn't find you before getting off the car."

"Qi Duo!"

"Huh? Isn't Big Mouth Baby full yet? Then let me think about it, how about making you a soufflé cake tonight, it's delicious and not fat, and it's good after eating."

"Qi~duo~!"

With a dream monster on his head and holding the Sun Eevee and Big Mouth Baby in his hands, Filio looked like a macho man, talking and laughing, and walked among the crowd with his head turned, attracting countless side glances.

After leaving the station, Yi Kong, the butler of Battle Fortress, had been waiting in his car for a long time. After recognizing Philio's highly recognizable appearance at a glance, he walked forward slowly.

"You are Master Philio, right? I am the steward of the Battle Fortress, Yikong. The Violet Marquis is waiting for you at the Fortress, and Duke Chaklow is also here."

Touching his chest, bowing his body, and nodding his head, the housekeeper who combed his silver-white hair meticulously was also impeccable in etiquette.

"Good guy... this guy who protects his weaknesses and is afraid of his own interests is here!" muttering in a low voice, Philio also bowed back and smiled, "Mr. It’s an honor to be here.”

Yikong stepped sideways to step out of the way, smiling unabated: "As the champion of the tournament, it is our honor that you can come to the city! But, let me take the liberty, what do you mean by protecting one's weaknesses and fearing...?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a private conversation between friends, I know both of them."

He waved his hands lightly, and until now he hadn't figured out whether the two of them were successful or not, and it was difficult for Philio to speak clearly.

"That's it, then I won't ask any more questions, Mr. Philio." Yikong said in harmony with an expression of understanding.

Philio blinked, and his expression was a little subtle: "You are too polite. I am a little cautious to be addressed like an adult. You can just call me by my name."

"As the steward of the castle, this is our basic etiquette. Whether you are finally awarded the title of earl or marquis, you are the object of our service. If you feel uncomfortable, I am sorry."

Yi Kong bowed respectfully, but had no intention of giving in.

Seeing this, Philio could only lift him up, waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then I will do as I please."

Yikong showed a relieved expression: "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Philio, please get in the car, and let me introduce you the history of the Battle Fortress on the way. It is a story that lasts for thousands of years."

"Then I'm all ears."

In humility, the two sat in the special car for the city, and drove away amidst the slight roar of the engine.

It wasn't until the vehicle disappeared from sight that the trainers who came to visit or prepare to go to the fort for their debut battle gathered together and talked a lot.

The chubby young man was the first to break the calm: "What do you think, will he be an earl or a marquis in the end?"

"It stands to reason that most of the champions of the conference should be earls, both last year and the year before last. But..." The thin young man with high cheekbones looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and his words were ambiguous.

The girl who was walking with him nodded and took over the words: "But he is a newly promoted Heavenly King, and he may become our candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings in the future."

The discussion between the three of them opened up the chatterbox of the people around them. A traveler who seemed not too young took a poster and moved to the center with great interest.

"It stands to reason that most of his strengths have already become dukes, that is to say, a few people who don't participate in many competitions are still marquises, such as the Violet Marquis who will fight him in the afternoon. But the highest championship of the conference is at this level."

"Who do you think will win?"

"I think it's the champion. After all, he won the owner of Korney, and Violet is only on the same level as her. Even... After all, she doesn't have the ace Pokémon that has mega-evolved yet, and it's an insect attribute. expert."

"I can't pretend like I didn't hear this. There are many strong insect-type Pokémon, and Miss Violet is not weak either!"

"Of course, but Mr. Chaklo is stronger, right? In that Duke promotion match half a month ago, his mega steel snake is still fresh in my memory."

"It's a pity that he has advanced, otherwise I would also like to watch their battle..."

"what a pity……"

"yes……"

"Having said that, isn't Miss Violet just short of the last victory?"

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Of course! Are you a fake fan?!"

In the midst of the noise, the number of people talking became more and more, and they rushed towards the battle fortress in a noisy manner.

In the chaos, the small poster in the traveler's hand also lost control, drifted away with the wind, fluttered above everyone's heads, and slowly fell to the ground.

On the gaudy paper, the figures of the Dream Demon and the Pink Butterfly are clearly visible, and their sword-stretching gestures are full of gunpowder.

The exhibition match between the tournament champion and the gym leader has whetted the appetite even before it begins.

-

I am ashamed to say that when I saw this exquisite and beautiful thousand-year-old castle for the first time, Philio's reaction was not admiration, but...

Compared with the Flaming Team headquarters outside Mingshui Town, this castle must be easier to dismantle.

It’s really a sin (Great Reading)

Thinking of this, Filio, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked a little weird, wanting to laugh but not daring.

"Master Philio, this is the Battle Fortress, how do you feel?"

Yi Kong, who watched all directions and listened to all directions, was keenly aware of it, and asked while driving.

"Well, it's very historical and artistic, and at the same time not lacking in modernity, it is indeed a good place for battles and exchanges."

The compliments came out of his mouth without thinking, and Yikong was very satisfied.

Praising the castle for which he dedicated his life made him feel more proud and satisfied than praising himself.

The car drove slowly along the road and entered the gate of the castle. By the small lake outside the courtyard, the two sharp-eyed people immediately spotted Violet and Chucklo, who were walking hand in hand on the lawn by the lake.

Yikong wanted to step forward directly, but Filio stopped him with his hand.

"Mr. Yikong, give them some private time. I also want to go around the city with my friends. Could you please introduce this place to me?"

Filio, who has always been happy with the beauty of an adult, naturally would not do anything to spoil the scenery. Yikong also realized something, and readily accepted: "Of course, my honor, Master Filio, please come with me."

Inside the quaint castle is a Western-style building that carries social functions. Battle fans and knight culture lovers from all over Carlos and other regions gather here to enjoy a unique experience.

On both sides of the clean and clean corridor, there are paintings of different styles, many of which are even historical treasures that have only been seen in textbooks. In addition, there will be an exquisitely crafted knight every not far away Statue, highlighting the characteristics of the Battle Fortress.

The little dream demon, who is obviously an expert in long-range combat, but particularly likes close combat, couldn't put it down. He looked left and right in the corridor. His cute little face was lit up by a big smile, and his hair became more and more flexible. It turned into a small fist and waved it repeatedly, making the tiger and tiger fly.

The big-mouthed kid who loves beauty stops from time to time to admire the art on the wall. From the elegance and dignity of neoclassicism, to the richness and splendor of rococo, to the unrestrained and unrestrained romanticism, growing up in the mountains and fields has a unique charm. The little tsundere in the transparent artist's heart was shocked from ear to ear.

Looking at the crowds coming and going, the wind goblin, who is always restless, showed a smirk, but looking at the bottles and jars around her that seem to be very expensive at first glance, and thinking about it, Philio is not plump at any time. With the old wallet and his own food standard, the prank expert finally restrained his thoughts, took advantage of Taiyang Ibrahimovic's unpreparedness, and threw himself on top of Filio, occupying the seat that originally belonged to the dream monster.

"Buy~"

The gentle smile concealed a bit of edge, but at this moment, Sun Eevee did not intend to get too entangled with the wind fairy. His long tail wrapped around Filio's wrist with a flick of his tail and moved forward.It doesn’t care much about chivalry or historical relics, but it does care about being able to walk around with Filio.

"Enpei..."

Following Philio with steady steps, his eyes slightly narrowed, even when sightseeing, Emperor Nabo did not forget to secretly cultivate his spirit and accumulate strength according to the method taught by Nazi.The breakthroughs of Dream Demon and Sun Ibrahimovic made it feel a little pressure, igniting the long-lost competitive spirit.

"You should relax when you go out to play. We can talk about the training at home. It's a pity that the scale dragon didn't come over, otherwise it should like this little knight-style statue very much, more like the little dream monster." Patted gently. Patting Emperor Nabo's shoulder, Philio's tone was brisk, full of leisurely relaxation and comfort.

At the same time, on the lawn outside the building, the scorching sun caused the giant dragon who had planned to take a nap outdoors to complain incessantly.

As in the past, this kind of indoor visit has nothing to do with a big guy like Tyrannosaurus. It didn't want to stay in the poke ball and sleep, so it simply ran away instead of going with Filio. Went to the outdoor lawn to bask in the sun.

However, today it obviously misjudged the power of the sun and the humidity near the water source. The two superimposed on it, it was full of a sticky feeling, which only a sweet couple like Violet and Chucklo could do. Endure it, and it, obviously can't.

Tyrannosaurus, who was so hot that he doubted his life, felt aggrieved. Then he looked at the two young men not far away who were fighting passionately in a constant-temperature venue blocked by glass and energy barriers. His temper was raging, and he immediately opened his bloody mouth. : "Boman!——"

The majestic roar frightened the two people in the venue to tremble at the same time. The command of the battle was half a beat slower, and the glass on the outer wall of the castle trembled slightly.

Hearing the familiar roar, Philio, who was making out with Sun Eevee in the corridor, quickly ran to the window with Yikong. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was the depressed and aggrieved Tyrannosaurus.

"You big guy..." Looking at the huge body drenched in sweat, Philio laughed dumbfoundedly, quickly took out the elf ball, and took back the Tyrannosaurus, which was already unbearably hot in the "steamer", and did not forget to tease "I'll just say it, it's hot outside, you won't listen."

What responded to him was the poke ball that was shaking again and again.

Apparently, Tyrannosaurus was sulking silently.

Patting the elf ball, Philio spoiled and said: "Okay, don't lose your temper, how about eating mint and vanilla biscuits for you at night to dispel the heat and cool down? It's not impossible if you want to eat ice cream , if you are not afraid of the cold."

As soon as these words came out, the elf ball immediately regained its calm. As long as there was something delicious to eat, the tyrannosaurus was still easy to talk to.

Now that I think about it carefully, when Tyrannosaurus stole Sanbee's honey, it was probably not only to improve its strength, but also to be greedy.

Cursing in his heart, Philio put the poke ball back on his waist, glanced at the two trainers who were fighting on the constant temperature outdoor field, and the roar of the tyrannosaurus only made them lose their minds for a moment. Make adjustments and fight again.

Although it is only a low-level standard venue, and the two of them are only wearing the white cloaks of the Baron, but after taking a closer look, they found that their strength and momentum are pretty good. Compared with ordinary traveling trainers, they have more tricks. The cultivation of Bossolo and Digging Rabbit is also remarkable.

Seeing Filio's interest, Yi Kong walked to the side and explained: "These two barons often compete here, and they are also frequent visitors to our city. They are both powerful barons, and they will be promoted to the title in the near future. "

Philio nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

In fact, conducting such one-on-one standard battles from time to time is helpful for improving tactical literacy, allowing trainers to have a clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their own Pokémon, and can also learn more about the individual skills of other Pokémon. combat capability.

But it is not necessarily true for actual combat. There is a huge difference between the rules of standard battles and the actual situation encountered in the wild. If you are only obsessed with fighting in the arena, you may be helpless when you encounter danger in the wild.

Thinking of this, Philio also felt that the fierce battle was a little boring. He turned around and looked at his friends who were chattering together and making Emperor Nabo very anxious.

Compared with a single form of combat, it is still the right way to develop in an all-round way and clarify its own strengths and weaknesses.

But... after thinking about it, he sighed again, and sighed softly: "Hey, trade-offs are inevitable, after all, not every Pokémon is as good as Dream Demon."

Yikong didn't hear clearly, and poked his head over: "Master Philio?"

"No, it's nothing, I won't watch the battle for now, please take me here again, I also want to hear something about the battle city, especially the thousands of years of history here."

From the Kingdom of Carlos to the divided city-states, and then to the current Carlos Alliance, it has gone through ups and downs, and the battle fortress has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, but the main body remains standing and has become a living fossil of the history of contemporary Carlos.

Nowadays, in Carlos, such a battle method known for its etiquette and norms can be regarded as a regional characteristic. It not only has tactical and training significance, but also contains a lot of social value. Many trainers who come to this battle will learn from history and chivalry Inspired by them, they became close friends.

Especially in recent years, through cooperation with the alliance, many well-known trainers, including gym leaders and alliance kings, have also participated, which has increased its popularity, making it a combination of tourism, battle training, and cultural promotion, making it famous in the world Range is influential.

Speaking of this, as the most experienced housekeeper in the city, Yikong and You are proud, and their faces are full of red.

That kind of pride from the heart made Filio very touched. He was about to ask a question, but he heard a familiar crisp female voice coming from the front:

"Filio~! You are here, why don't you come and play with us?"

Taking a closer look, I heard the roar of the tyrannosaurus, and I asked Chakro all the way to find Violet who came forward.

At the end of the corridor, she came running and jumping up after seeing Filio, and asked half teasingly half blamed.

"This is because..."

"This thing is like this." Just as Yikong was about to explain something, Philio stopped him and said with a narrow smile, "I see you two are walking by the lake, thinking about such a good time, how can you To bother you? So I decided to ask Mr. Yikong to take me to visit the castle."

"us……"

"Hmph, then your ability to read air is quite strong~"

There was no shortage of teasing eyes that made Chuck Luo blushed. Violet waved her hand indifferently and admitted it openly. Then she changed the subject and asked Yikong: "Mr. Yikong, when will our exhibition match start? But I can't wait to have two tricks with Filio!"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lord Violet has already issued notices and invitations to the surrounding Knights in advance - Lord Philio, please allow me to introduce, Knight is our name for the trainers participating in the war here." Bowed slightly, Yi Kong took out a sample of the promotional poster from his pocket, showed it to Zi Luo Lan, and asked softly, "We still have some time, do you have any arrangements?"

"There is no arrangement~! Philio, what are you and Mr. Yikong talking about, do you want to bring us to play?"

Holding her chin delicately, Violet thought for a while but couldn't think of anything interesting, so she simply threw the problem to Filio.

Pointing to the paintings and artworks on the wall, Filio smiled and said, "We are talking about history, chivalry and art, are you two interested in listening to it together?"

"Hey... I'd better forget about it, I'll get dizzy when I hear it, maybe my sister might listen to it, but unfortunately she's not here, let's go~"

Miss Violet, who was as uneducated as Kerni, immediately lost interest when she heard this, pulled Chaklow and turned around, and ran away to the other side of the corridor before she finished speaking.

"As expected." Filio Zhizhu shook his head, looked at Yikong who was about to speak, and asked politely, "Can we go shopping for a while, Mr. Yikong? Then please take me with you. Go to the preparation area, although the battle with Violet is just an exhibition match, it still needs a little adjustment."

Yikong's eyes lit up, as if he saw a close friend, and he said repeatedly: "Of course, please come with me. There are many precious works of art passed down from the Kingdom of Carlos on the third and fourth floors here. You will definitely be satisfied. Come over here..."

The brisk footsteps are not like an old man. Walking in the castle that has personally measured every inch of land for decades, Yikong proudly introduces every detail here, and Philio praises it at the right time, and the singing and harmony are exceptionally harmonious .

-

Time passed, and the scheduled battle time arrived as scheduled.

The hottest afternoon sun gradually eased, and the temperature dropped a little bit. Although it was still very hot, it was not that tormenting.

The balconies on each floor of the castle were already full of trainers and battle fans who came from all over the world to watch the game, eagerly waiting for the battle between the two young powerhouses.

After some adjustments, under the instruction of the referee Jasmine, who was dressed in a maid outfit, Philio put on an orange cloak provided by the city fortress that belonged to the title of marquis but did not have the title logo, and walked to the large stage dedicated to the battle of top trainers.

Violet walking on the opposite side was also wearing the same uniform, except that she had an extra marquis badge on her chest than Filio's. Her face was filled with pure vigor and a refreshing smile, and the hair on both sides of her forehead followed her pace. The ups and downs and slight jitters are very interesting and cute.

At some point, Chaklow, who never rested in his hands, had climbed to the outer edge of the castle again. Even a suit could not restrain his agile body like a monkey. He grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand, and even pointed at the two people with the other. He waved it again and again, which surprised Philio.

"He's always like this. When he sees a wall, he wants to climb it. When it comes to the Battle City, he can't control himself. You just pretend that he doesn't exist."

Violet was already used to this situation, she shook her head helplessly and explained softly to Filio.

The corner of Philio's mouth curled slightly: "I just think that Chaklo's physical fitness seems to be better than I imagined, and there is a beauty of strength."

"The beauty of strength... Although it sounds good, I always feel that something is wrong." Violet vaguely sensed it, but she couldn't grasp it, but she obviously didn't care about it, waved her hand casually, and said with a smile , "Don't care about that idiot, Philio, this time is different from the gymnasium competition, I'm going to show my real skills~"

Philio spread his hands: "Isn't it? Isn't it an exhibition match? I thought it would be enough to make a point."

"Eh? Is that so? I still want to be promoted to the duke after winning..." Violet was a little dazed in surprise, and then she became a little more coquettish and unreasonable, "I don't care, I have decided to send out the pink butterfly Yes! Kerni also told me to work hard for her share, if you lose, don’t blame me!”

"My good fellow, it turned out that this stupid cucumber was on fire at both ends..."

Muttering to himself, Philio recalled the meaningful smirk of Ke Erni that morning, she dared to be teased on both sides, just waiting to see the big fun.

The innocent and lovely Miss Cucumber seems to have learned badly, maybe this is the one who is close to the vermilion and the red is close to the ink... Ah bah!You can't be influenced by yourself!Fillio shook his head again and again, throwing out his completely unrealistic thoughts from his mind.

At this moment, Chucklo fell from the sky and landed firmly on the courtside terrace.

With sharp ears, he heard Violet's words, and subconsciously made a stab. "But you can't beat the current Kerni."

"Speak up! Watch how I beat you later... Anyway, let's start the game!"

Her boyfriend's straight ball taunt made Violet's cheeks blush, she gave him a hard look, turned her head arrogantly, and walked towards the commanding seat.

However, as soon as he took two steps, Yikong's shout came from across the air:

"Lord Violet! You haven't saluted yet!"

The atmosphere fell into a subtle embarrassment. Violet, who had her back to Filio, froze in place and did not look back for a long time.

It's really... a bit embarrassing.
