Chapter 52 A Fortuitous Encounter with the Birth of a Rare and Precious Treasure
As soon as the dual sheaths completed their evolution, the swords were drawn simultaneously in a frenzied dance, their blades slicing through the air with a crisp hum, leaving faint spatial marks.
"Pro-level!"
Lin Ye sensed the aura emanating from the twin sword sheaths and nodded in satisfaction. The Snow Fairy had only recently advanced, and the twin sword sheaths had already broken through!
Not to mention, the dual sheaths have one more chance to evolve, so the future looks promising!
The twin scabbards floated for a moment before landing in front of Lin Ye, the swords trembling slightly. His voice, brimming with barely suppressed excitement, said:
"Brother Lin, I have broken through! We have taken another big step closer to our grand plan!"
"A grand plan!"
Gastly's eyes lit up:
"Which rich person are you planning to rob? Have you even scouted the place?"
"You bastard! Brother Lin and I are both loyal and righteous men. How could we associate with a bandit like you? Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Brother Lin."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the other mouth of the sword sheath, more serious and irritable than the original voice. After speaking, it raised its sword to slash at Gastly.
"Wait a minute. Even though Gastly's bandit nature is hard to change, the biggest obstacle right now is the Alliance. It is actually a force we can win over. Besides, it is Brother Lin's little brother. How can I overstep my bounds?"
Before Lin Ye could intervene, the sound that had been coming from the sheath of the single sword rang out, and at the same time, the other sword was drawn from its sheath, actually blocking its own attack.
"Clang~~"
The two swords in the double scabbards clashed together, one above the other, locked in a fierce struggle, neither gaining the upper hand for a moment.
"What's wrong with it? Did something go wrong during its evolution and it's gone mad?" the Snow Fairy asked as she gracefully stepped forward.
"If I'm not mistaken, evolution must have caused the dual sword sheaths to develop two consciousnesses, and they even have somewhat different personalities."
It seems we'll be seeing plenty of exciting scenes of it fighting itself and manipulating its own systems in the future.
"Really!" The Snow Fairy, with an intrigued look that seemed to thrive on chaos, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"So, we won't be able to witness its crazy episodes every day from now on."
Lin Ye thought to himself, "What kind of bastards are these under my command?" and shook his head helplessly.
"It's not impossible to solve. As long as it can evolve into Aegislash, the two consciousnesses should be able to merge into one again."
Therefore, this internal struggle between the left and right hemispheres is just a transitional phase; enjoy it while it lasts!
At this moment, Lin Ye noticed that despite the lively atmosphere, Soroya had remained silent.
He looked at the little fox and found it sitting deep in thought in the spot where Zoroark had just left.
"What, are you still thinking about Zoroark, who has the same life form as you!"
No wonder, it really might just be the only one like you in this era!
Moreover, that Zoroark had developed the "illusion" ability to an extremely high degree, seemingly having completely transcended simple shaping.
It's more like a deep replication of the changed characters. If I could ask you for advice, it would definitely be of great help to you.
Unfortunately, Daigo's arrival was too sudden, and the Metagross's psychic power was too strong, making it impossible for me to easily use my psychic mark. Otherwise, I could have used the mark to find it! But~"
"Gurgle~~"
"However, the reason why that Zoroark appeared in the protected area just now is probably because it lives here."
There's plenty of time in the future, and we can visit this place more often when we have time. There's a good chance we'll meet again.
Besides, my necromancy still has room for improvement. Once my strength advances further, I can expand my sensing range. At that point, will I still be afraid of not being able to find it?
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Zoroya immediately perked up again, and the wagging of its little tail returned to its usual frequency.
But the next moment, just as Lin Ye was about to leave with the four ghosts, he saw that Zoroya, who had just recovered, suddenly perked up his ears, tensed up his whole body, and stared intently at a grove of trees in front of him!
"What? Could it be that Zoroark is back again?!"
Zorua shook its head, its nose twitching as it sniffed the air ahead, its tail curled into a question mark:
"Master, I feel a strange attraction in the woods ahead, like something is calling to me."
"I'm calling you~"
Lin Ye immediately released his mental energy and probed the grove of trees that Soroya pointed to. After a moment, his expression became quite interesting.
"That's interesting."
Gastly popped its head out, its eyes gleaming: "What's so interesting! Boss, tell me quickly! Is there some treasure? Can we steal it?"
Lin Ye ignored it and directly beckoned the four ghosts to follow him into the grove, quietly approaching the area where the Pokémon gathered.
At this moment, there are probably twenty or thirty Pokémon gathered here: Pidgey, Cuckoo, Taillow, Zigzagoon, Owl, Rattata...
If there's anything in common, it's that all these Pokémon gathered together have the Normal type!
Moreover, more Normal-type Pokémon in this grove are attracted and are converging in this direction.
They gradually formed a large circle, with a tree at the center bearing two yellow fruits that gleamed softly in the moonlight.
Although not fully ripe, it already exudes an enticing aroma.
It is clear that these two berries are what attracted Pokémon from many protected areas.
At this moment, they maintained a strange tacit understanding, and none of them made a move rashly, because the fruit was still in the process of ripening.
"Boss, what's that?!"
"It's a berry! A rare and precious resource that would be very useful to you. Judging from the type of the Pokémon that's gathered around, it's definitely a 'Lantern Berry.' No wonder Zoroar reacted that way!"
"So what's the use of this 'lampberry'?"
"This fruit contains pure Normal-type energy. Consuming it can greatly enhance a Pokémon's affinity for Normal-type Pokémon and even improve its talent for that type."
For Normal-type Pokémon, this thing is even more valuable than a mid-tier gem of the same type.
"That's amazing, we have to grab it!"
"This is an insult to civilization! What do you mean by 'robbery'? This is a contest of the great principles! We have a clear conscience!" the twin sword sheaths retorted sharply.
"Yes, yes, yes~, you're on a higher level, whatever you say is right!"
Lin Ye looked at Zoroya and noticed that the little fox's eyes were full of longing as it looked at the "Lampberry".
If it weren't for the undead contract that allowed Lin Ye to keep it conscious, the little fox would probably have already rushed ahead, eager to join the fight.
But this is also Lin Ye's advantage. Once the fruit is fully ripe, its fragrance will make Normal-type Pokémon lose control and experience an intense internal orgasm, causing them to fight uncontrollably.
They can then gather their strength and prepare to seize these two rare treasures in one fell swoop!
The problem is that as the two "lamp berries" get closer and ripen, their aroma becomes stronger and stronger, and it drifts further and further away on the wind.
Attracted by this aura, many more Normal and Flying-type Pokémon soon flew in from another grove of trees next door.
The strongest among them are a Nightjar and a Giant Swallow, both radiating energy fluctuations at the peak of the "Excellent" level.
Following closely behind, countless Normal-type Pokémon that walk on the ground arrived one after another, surrounding the "Lanternberry" tree completely, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of Lin Ye's treasure hunt.
Finally, after Lin Ye waited for about an hour, the fragrance of the two "lamp berries" suddenly intensified, and Lin Ye instantly felt that even the air he breathed was sweet.
At the same time, all the Pokémon present were affected by this aura and frantically crowded towards the fruit tree in the center.
Before the melee even began, the trampling had already caused countless deaths and injuries.
