Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 8: Pokémon Food
"The craftsmanship of carving relics?"

Guangtai frowned in thought.

If we talk about carving, then the craft passed down in my family is carving.

But don’t the relic stones refer to the bricks inside the ruins, or the rocks outside, and what are the symbolic slabs?
I don't know what its function is, which is normal. After all, I haven't really obtained this material yet. But there is no rush.

The ruins of the Divine Capital are located on a nearby mountain. Although the journey is a bit far, it is summer now. This is the perfect window to enter the ruins.

This land has only 4 months a year without snow, from early summer to late autumn.
When it comes to famous figures in sculpture in the Pokémon world, the first person that comes to Guang Moss' mind is Kosa, a sculptor from the Padia region.

There are some magical carvings in every region, but few people know who made those carvings. This can be regarded as a major hidden setting in the Pokémon world. Stone carving masters do not like to be famous.

Of course, there are also the diamond-horned rhinoceros sculptures that often appear in the ruins, although of course those sculptors have long since passed away.

As for the gym sculptures, just as Guangtai saw when he was looking through the original owner's memories, the original owner's family would often carve stone statues for the gym. In some rock-type gyms, the original owner's father would also go there to repair and redo the reliefs and stone decorations in the gym.

Although I still have many questions in my mind, I always feel that Pokémon is quite magical, and I can't help but think more about it.

During this process, Du Jianshao had been waiting on the side for a long time. When Guangtai picked up the shiny stone, he suddenly found that Du Jianshao was staring at him blankly.

"{}?"

"Well, what happened?"

Speaking of which, the two [ˋˊ] on the scabbard of this guy's eyes look more like eyes.

But at this moment, Du Jianshao was thinking about——

This gem is different from the one I wore before. Now it looks like a gem!
I shouldn’t have given it to you!

"Oh, are you attracted to it? By the way, try it on."

Guangtai handed the Evolution Stone to Dujianscabbard, who hesitated for a moment, rolled up the Evolution Stone with a blue ribbon, and then placed it on the hilt of his sword. To Guangtai's surprise, an inlay slot automatically appeared on the hilt, and the gem fit in perfectly in an instant.

Guangtai immediately began to think.

Sure enough, although Pokémon like Dujianshua do not have a mouth for eating and belong to the mineral group, it has the composite attributes of ghost and steel. These two attributes have already explained its essence. It is both the soul and the ancient sword itself. It is easy for it to manipulate the ancient sword to produce slight changes in shape.

Speaking of which, in previous animations, there seems to have been a shield sword monster that "folded and chopped people". I have always thought that it was an exaggerated painting method used in battle to show tension. Now it seems quite "realistic".

Although it is a mineral group, it is still defined as a living thing in the Pokémon world. Hey, there is no such thing as a three-folded creature!

"Yo!"

After the Dujianscabbard obtained the Evolution Stone, it suddenly felt that the toughness of its sword had been greatly improved. The feeling was very subtle. The stone was just an ordinary gem before, but now, it seemed to be "alive"!
Not only did I come back to life, but I also resonated with myself. Little by little, I was mobilizing a certain power in my body and making it form an endless cycle. Although it was very weak, the feeling was very good!

The sword sheath blinked its single eye and spoke to Guang Moss:

"Yo!"

I have worn it and it feels great!
"It's hard and tough, and it looks to be in good condition." Guang Moss smiled and said, "You should keep it with you until it's sold. Well, I guess you can wear it for a few more days. The customer hasn't replied to me yet, and this stone will help your defense ability grow gradually."

"But I promise, I will definitely find a new Evolution Stone to return to you."

"My craftsmanship will get better and better in the future, and the effect of the polished stones will be better! But, if you evolve to the final form, you won't need props like the Evolution Stone."

Du Jianshao's eyes lit up instantly and he danced the sword happily.

"Yo!"

Full of confidence in the future, this is the mentality that the new king you choose should have!
As for gemstones, it doesn’t matter if it’s your turn!

Guangtai stretched his body and glanced at the time on the computer.

21:00. Hu Guangtai let out a long sigh. Although he was a little tired, he had spent a very fulfilling day.

The sudden appearance of the sword sheath directly disrupted his thinking and forced him to integrate into this world.

This is also a good thing.

I worked from the moment I woke up until the evening without even noticing the change of time. During this time I just ate some dried fruits to fill my stomach. Now I finally have some free time.

"That's enough work for today. It's time to eat."

In order to celebrate his first encounter with Du Jianshao, he should cook some delicious dishes, but the variety and total amount of ingredients at home are limited. It’s okay to make some stews, but it’s impossible to make more sumptuous dishes.

I need to buy more from the villagers. I'll wait until I win the first big client and make some savings.

Usually, some wild vegetables and fruits collected from the mountains and forests are enough for us to eat.

"By the way, what do you eat? Pokémon food?"

Guangtai glanced at the scabbard of the sword and suddenly became thoughtful.

Although most ghost-type Pokémon can survive by absorbing life force, they seem to be able to eat normal Pokémon food and human food. Of course, there are some special Pokémon that really don't eat normal food.
How does a ghost Pokémon eat?

For a creature like Dujianshao whose body is a sword and whose true form is a ghost, does it really need to eat such regular meals?

It seems to be set up to suck life, but among the Pokémon of the Excalibur family that I know, there seems to be no Excalibur or Shieldblade that has ever absorbed the vitality of its owner. In comparison, the Candleblade family with a similar setting is full of evil.

And this guy can't learn any "absorption" skills.

Judging from the egg group, if I remember correctly, it should be a mineral group. Of course, the mineral group does not necessarily only eat stones, soil, ice and the like. It would be strange if it were a tree. It is also a mineral group, but it can also eat normal Pokémon food.

So which one does this ghost sword like?
"Yo~"

Du Jianshao answered as a matter of course.

Of course it is the life essence, but it does not necessarily have to be human.

It’s just that human’s essence can be quickly restored by eating, so it is more convenient to consume human’s essence. Moreover, as a weapon itself, it is symbiotic with the holder. Of course, light moss does not seem to need weapon protection.

Single Sword Sheath: Stare——

It gestured with its blue ribbon hand and made sounds:
"Yo? Yo!"

Isn't that a common thing? It's the sword of a brave man stuck in the forest!

As long as the brave man's sword is placed in the designated location, the sword will not be damaged no matter how many years pass!

"Ah, the sword of the brave, is there really such a setting? Do you mean that the essence of nature is also essence? That makes sense. After all, there are wild single sword sheaths. We can't just absorb wild people."

Guangtai thought about it for a moment.

The sword of the brave stuck in the forest. It sounds like a 'rotten sword' or something like that. If Cang Xiang holds the Shield Sword Monster, how high will his race be worth?
Then something came to mind.

"So, does that mean the essence of the fruit also counts?"

"Yo!"

The single scabbard blinked and made a sound to indicate that Guangmoss was right.

Of course tree fruits count, how can you replenish blood without essence?
"So, Vitality Shards are also fine? Although if you use it with full stamina, it should say 'No effect even if used'."
