Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 5: Sticky balls are the reason for being king
The scabbard protested, and at this moment its mind was brainstorming. Although as a sword, it probably has no brain!

This human being is not a human at all, as he can defeat me head-on. He is even more powerful than those knights with weapons before!
With so many strange props being used, can it be considered a head-on confrontation?
Of course it is!

This guy did it himself!

He did not use Pokémon to fight himself, but faced it personally. No matter what props he used, that was his way of fighting. Moreover, those fighting methods were not despicable. He could withstand his own moves and sneak attack on such a powerful human. The failure he brought to himself was undeniable!
Forget it, I can’t get the gems back anymore, so I’ll just give them to you!

"Yo Yo! Yo Yo!"

In Du Jianshao's feeling, the human in front of him seemed a little different from the one he just fought, but he couldn't tell what was different. Maybe his temperament had changed?

But Guangtai's expression at this moment was surprised.

Looking at the sword sheath making a yo-yo sound over there, I seemed to understand its mood at this moment. The strange cry was transmitted to my mind and seemed to automatically turn into some kind of understandable system language, with a light and hollow echo.

I can roughly understand what the other person means from his or her language. Even when listening to these words, vague supernatural symbols will appear in my mind. Are they probably supernatural words that can be transcribed?

Is this psychic knowledge?
"You're saying that since you lost to me, the 'gem' is given to me, is that what you mean?"

"Yo?"

The blue eye of the scabbard suddenly opened wide!

Hey, do you understand what you are saying?

"It's interesting to note that Pokémon have a high understanding of human language, while humans can only roughly guess the language of Pokémon."

Guang Moss muttered to himself, and then asked:

"But you are not a Pokémon from the surrounding area. Even if I found you in the ruins, why did you turn into an ancient artifact and sleep in the ruins here?"

"YoYo!"

Du Jianshao stared at Guang Moss and began to think.

It felt that since the human in front of it had defeated it and controlled it, the other party must be stronger than itself. Facing such a strong man and a defeat that was convincing to the enemy, it could not be stubborn or deceitful. That was not in line with the spirit of chivalry.

So it simply said that it was brought by a traveler who could cast magical spells and presented to a king. There were also several other scabbards of a single sword that were brought along with it, and they were later given to the knights under the king and were endowed with gems.

"A sword from a kingdom long ago? It turned out to be a tribute brought by a traveler. That's true. In ancient times, merchants from some places would bring rare Pokémon and goods to other distant places to promote cultural exchanges between the two places, and indirectly give some Pokémon regional forms. By the way, you don't even remember the name of the kingdom. How careless."

Guang Tai complained like this, and the sword sheath turned a few circles, making a protesting sound.

That's not carelessness, but Pokémon will not remember troublesome things other than their owners!
What do you think so much about!
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, that kingdom is probably destroyed. There do seem to be some ruins of kingdoms in the north of Mt. Tsukimi, and there is even a small kingdom there that continues to this day."

In the world of Pokémon, there are some strange small kingdoms. These small kingdoms are distributed in the corners of each region. They have their own unique set of strange laws and have a very high status in society.

But a long time ago, these kingdoms were not as weak as they are now. They might have been giants that dominated the entire region.

If you head southeast from the ruins of the capital and enter the Moon Viewing Mountains, you will see some kingdom ruins.

Du Jianshao also emphasized that the traveler who could cast magical spells had many treasures on him, and it could only be regarded as a foreign Pokémon that was captured and presented to him.

Just as Guangtai said, merchants traveling around the world always do this, bringing the unique products of one region to another, integrating them into the local culture and civilization, and even changing the local natural environment and ecology.

But for Du Jianshao, what happened yesterday seemed to be still vivid in his mind. The tall castle and the soldiers in armored uniforms all turned to dust after he woke up from a good sleep.

The ancient country disappeared, and along with it all the records of its kings were wiped out without a trace, not to mention those glorious memories, which have all become blank.

But let it disappear, there is nothing we can do about it, after all it is just a sword, it can't handle so many things. However, there is one thing that is true.

Du Jianshao couldn't think about such complicated things. Since the country was destroyed and a thousand years had passed, there was nothing he could do even if he refused to admit it. In short, as a knight's sword, if he didn't have a master to serve, then there was no point in his independent activities.

Of course, his time as a wandering knight did not last too long, after all, he was captured by a human again.

But at the same time, Du Jianshao was also thinking about something.

A bolder thing to do.

That was a secret told to it by one of its predecessors.

The first king was not chosen by bloodline, but by a magical beast (Pokémon). The king established a country with the power of the magical beast and ruled over many lives.

Since the previous king is dead, then isn't there a new person who has the same qualifications as that king that we can serve right in front of us?
After all, this guy really defeated me head-on. If he is such a person, he will definitely be able to become a qualified
The single scabbard was quite excited, jumping up and down towards the light moss and offering its suggestions!

"Yo!"

"Yo~yo?"

What a powerful young man!

Do you want to be the king?

Strength, no, stickiness, is the reason for being king!
"King? What's so good about being that?"

"Ruling some people and elves. Hey, isn't this the villain route? How can a Pokémon actively encourage its owner to become a villain?"

Guangtai waved his hands repeatedly because Dujianshao's suggestion was a little too strange.

You said you wanted to help me become king. Did you choose a king so casually? Besides, what's the point of being a king in the modern world? You also said you wanted to rule over other Pokémon and humans!

"Come to think of it, the final evolution of the scabbard, the 'Shield Blade Monster', does have a similar description that can see the qualities of a king, and the person chosen by it will become the new king. But there are many people in the world who have Shield Blade Monsters, and none of them have become kings."

Du Jianshao became excited: "Yo!"

Hey, you understand this very well!

That’s right, it’s me——my evolved form!
But Guang Moss immediately poured cold water on the Sword Scabbard:

"But choosing a king is the job of the Shieldblade. As the lone scabbard, you don't seem to have the ability to choose a king. And the country founded by the person who seemed to really obey the Shieldblade and became king eventually perished, didn't it?"

“It’s like your country.”

Du Jianshao stared blankly at Guangtai.

The man and the sword stared at each other for a long time.

The scabbard's eyes blinked, and suddenly it scratched the hilt with a blue ribbon:

"Yo!"

Ah, so that’s how it is. No wonder the country was destroyed.

So it was my evolved form that caused the trouble!
That’s okay!
