Chapter 354: Danger Prediction
Will and Druddigon's nest was in the place Will found first.
Mainly because Drilbur didn't want them to live too close.
Will could understand.
After all, this is the era of magical beasts.
The relationship between Pokémon is still very pure; either fighting for food or fighting for territory. In short, meeting nine out of ten times means war.
Will and Druddigon didn't break their promise.
Brought Drilbur enough berries to eat for three days.
Eating sparingly, five days would be no problem.
Just right.
Will also took this time to test Druddigon's combat power and intelligence.
Druddigon's intelligence is actually not low.
Various behaviors before show that Druddigon is quite smart.
Whether shamelessly following Will, or dragging Will to snatch Drilbur's cave, were quite smart moves.
The reason he looks silly and does various stupid acts.
Is mainly because of lack of common sense.
He hasn't seen his parents since birth; no one taught him how to survive in this world.
If not for meeting Will, in this era of magical beasts, Druddigon basically couldn't live long.
No.
If lucky enough to be captured by the Kingdom of the Vale, maybe he could live a little longer.
As for Druddigon's combat power, it is indeed low.
After Will's testing.
This child is only Lv. 6.
That is to say, just out of infancy not long ago, maybe just came to this world for half a month.
This is also the reason why Druddigon has no common sense.
This morning.
Will felt sleep paralysis.
Whole body unable to move.
Opened his eyes sweating profusely, looking at Druddigon pressing his head on his stomach, a '#' mark popped up on his forehead.
This guy.
Actually treated him as a pillow.
"You idiot, get up!"
Will reached out with three knife-hand strikes.
Smack smack smack.
"~"
Druddigon stood up holding his head.
Will stared at him with hands on hips.
Seeing Will's expression, Druddigon showed a flattering smile, rubbing his head against Will's.
"Alright! Same as usual today."
Will waved his hand.
He didn't blame Druddigon much.
Because the cave Drilbur built for them was too big, four meters high and five meters deep.
Such a wide cave gave Druddigon no sense of security.
They must wrap at least two-thirds of their body to feel at ease.
So.
The uneasy Druddigon would subconsciously squeeze Will in his sleep; only by squeezing with Will could he feel at ease.
Hearing Will's words, Druddigon lowered his head slowly.
Will flipped over and sat on his neck.
Then they headed outside.
It had been three days since coming to this era.
In these three days.
Will dragged Druddigon to wander around every day.
Mainly surveying the terrain, and training with Druddigon by the way.
Will didn't level up.
Under Will's coercion and command, Druddigon rose from Lv. 6 to Lv. 10.
This speed can be considered very slow.
After all, with the purple potential of the Druddigon clan (implied game mechanic/fan term for high potential), he should be able to rise from Lv. 6 to Lv. 10 in a day, even raising more levels is normal.
But no choice.
Druddigon is really too timid.
Big ones dare not fight.
High-level ones dare not fight.
Many ones dare not fight.
Only bully some Pokémon that look small, low-level, and act alone.
This is Druddigon.
A Pokémon that bullies the weak and fears the strong, living a cowardly life.
But have to say.
This habit is really suitable for survival in the wild environment.
And Will also had a huge harvest here.
He discovered a human town.
And according to terrain observation, he confirmed the future location and name of that human town—Icirrus City!
It was the city Will and Cynthia walked out of before transmigration.
Then he also confirmed his and Druddigon's location.
The rocky mountain named Twist Mountain in the future.
Confirmed.
They are on the territory of the Kingdom of the Vale.
This couldn't help but make Will happy.
On the territory of the Hometown of the Vale (Earth's Hometown), the relationship between humans and magical beasts is still relatively harmonious.
As long as magical beasts don't attack humans, humans won't hunt magical beasts.
At most, defeat magical beasts and take them back to try to tame, which is "capturing" in the era of magical beasts.
Most importantly.
He is very close to Dragonspiral Tower.
Before, he stepped on the top of Dragonspiral Tower—The Grey Ruins, thus transmigrating to the present a thousand years ago.
Is it possible.
If he wants to return to a thousand years later, he needs to step on the Grey Ruins of Dragonspiral Tower again.
Not impossible; needs to be tried anyway.
But how to go is a problem.
Will sneaked near Dragonspiral Tower to peek before.
Dragonspiral Tower of this era is not the broken tower standing lonely in the lake a thousand years later.
That is the holy land of the Kingdom of the Vale.
A holy land used to sacrifice to the divine dragon who unified the western continent with the first King.
Only the royal family of the Kingdom of the Vale can enter.
Dragonspiral Tower is heavily guarded; the number of humans and Pokémon guarding adds up to thousands.
Even if Will has the Sea Crown, it is difficult to break into Dragonspiral Tower.
Moreover, he is not sure if there are other defensive forces inside the tower.
Even more unsure if he can pass the maze test alone to reach the Grey Ruins.
"Sigh, I might know why I became the 'Teacher' of the Kingdom of the Vale."
Will rubbed his head with some headache.
Have to say.
The safest way to enter the tower is to join the Kingdom of the Vale, gain the King's trust and respect, and enter Dragonspiral Tower justifiably.
Just this way is troublesome, time-consuming, and brain-consuming.
The recorded history of him becoming the 'Teacher' of the Kingdom of the Vale should be for entering Dragonspiral Tower, right?
But now this idea of Will just popped up.
He plans to observe more for a while.
If there is a choice.
He still doesn't want to join the Kingdom of the Vale and get involved in that future civil war.
"Roar?"
"It's okay, Big Silly, you have to work hard to become stronger, grow up as soon as possible to the extent that you can help me."
Will shook his head, reaching out to pat Druddigon's big head.
Big Silly.
This is the name Will gave him.
Druddigon was extremely happy when learning this name at first, running around on the rocky mountain howling, even attracting the protest of neighbor Drilbur.
Regarding how to enter the almost airtight Dragonspiral Tower.
Will has no clue for the time being.
Currently, the main thing is still to investigate the surrounding terrain and find the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of the Vale, "Eindoak Town."
In a thousand years.
The terrain has changed too much.
For example, the western continent of the Unova region a thousand years later is basically forests everywhere.
But the current Unova continent is half forest and half grassland, with many high mountains and wetlands.
In the process of advancing.
Will's ears suddenly twitched.
Druddigon also stopped abruptly.
"Hm? Why did you stop?"
"Roar..."
Druddigon said he felt danger ahead.
"Turn around, go back, full speed."
"Roar."
Druddigon didn't say a word, turned around and ran wildly.
Really.
Although the Druddigon clan has no talent in speed, Druddigon who has been running since childhood is really not slow.
The most important thing is his strong endurance.
With a weight of more than half a ton, running a dozen kilometers in one breath is no problem.
Will pinched his chin, looking at Big Silly below.
He found Big Silly seemed to have a strange intuition, that is, the perception of danger.
He just heard the sound of iron collision coming from the front.
Not surprisingly, the Kingdom of the Vale and the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles started fighting again.
However, when Will just heard the sound, Druddigon sensed the danger at the same time. If this ability can continue, it is quite heaven-defying.
Can't compare with special abilities like Aura Power and Psychic power.
But this danger prediction ability is also extremely good.
Now Will starts to believe.
This Druddigon is the one a thousand years later.
They rushed back to the rocky mountain at full speed.
"You go back to the nest first; I'll go see the situation."
Will let Druddigon hide first.
And he wanted to see the battle situation.
Bringing Druddigon, the target is too big, unfavorable for him to observe secretly.
Moreover, going alone is very convenient when escaping; using the Sea Crown can come and go freely.
Don't know whether to say Druddigon is obedient or cowardly.
Anyway, Will told him to hide, and he really hid dead in the nest, not even showing the tip of his tail.
"Roar."
"Wait for me to come back."
Will turned and left after speaking.
He groped towards the direction of the battle just now.
When he arrived, the war was over.
The winner was still the Kingdom of the Vale.
However, the Kingdom of the Vale also had many losses.
Will stood far away at the edge of the battlefield staring.
The first thing those soldiers of the Kingdom of the Vale did after the battle was not to collect the corpses of comrades or loot the corpses of the enemy army, but to apply a kind of green mud to their magical beast partners.
Presumably some kind of herb for healing external injuries.
Those Pokémon stayed in place obediently, neither afraid nor resisting.
"Mm, the relationship between humans and magical beasts in the Kingdom of the Vale has developed quite ahead of time."
Will stood in the distance staring, knowing more about the people of the Kingdom of the Vale,
"It seems that without my intervention, the first country in the Pokémon world to let humans and magical beasts live in harmony is the Kingdom of the Vale."
Just then.
Will found someone in the army of the Kingdom of the Vale noticed him.
He didn't turn around and run away immediately.
Stared at the other party quietly for a few seconds.
Only then left slowly.
In the army of the Kingdom of the Vale.
"What magical beast was that just now?"
The leader frowned, looking at the departing Will and asking the adjutant beside him.
"Don't know; I've never seen it in the palace picture book. Maybe some legendary magical beast?"
"Does it look like one? That appearance is more like a pet for noble ladies and princesses in the city; doesn't look like it has any combat power."
The leader rolled his eyes.
That magical beast just now didn't look powerful at a glance, otherwise he would have led people to chase it long ago.
"Better report to His Majesty the King? After all, it's a magical beast never seen before; His Majesty is very interested in these."
"Mm, did you remember the appearance? Draw it down and send it to His Majesty."
