Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 35 I'm a wanted criminal? Are you kidding me!

After accepting the task, Anjie quickly woke up Munchlax and then prepared the materials they would need for setting up their stall that day.

Since she didn't go yesterday, Anjie plans to prepare more today.

After everything was ready, Anjie prepared to leave. He walked to the door, where the father of the blue cotton bird was already waiting.

This was something Anjie and Qingmianniao had agreed upon in advance yesterday.

"Qi~" Good morning, Anjie.

Upon seeing Anjie, the father of the bluebird bowed his head and greeted him.

"Good morning, Father Swallow." Anjie said, gently stroking Father Swallow's neck. "I'll have to ask you for help again today."

"Wow~~"

The father cottonbird let out a soft cry and set off carrying Angie and the tree-pillow koala.

Upon arriving at the gates of Azot's capital, Anjie said to the Blue Cotton Bird's father, "Why don't you come into the city with me today? It's too lonely for you to stay here alone. If you come in with us, we can have lunch together."

Although the idea of ​​having lunch together was very appealing to the father cotton bird, he quickly shook his head when he thought of all the people in the city.

Anjie smiled and reassured it, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. Once you interact with more people, you'll find that humans aren't as scary as you think."

Hearing this, the father cottonbird hesitated.

Anjie continued, "Let's go, the city is a lot of fun."

Finally, the father bluebird nodded gently, flapped his wings, and flew into the city with Anjie.

In Azot, many people were already busy in the early morning: shop owners opening their doors for business, office workers going to their early shifts, construction workers carrying bricks on the site, and their Pokémon...

In the royal city of Azot, apart from special vehicles like those used by Anjie for work or the motorcycles that Princess Jimiya rode to save time, you can hardly see any cars, especially private vehicles.

Because all its main streets are made up of cableways, as long as you know the route and your destination, the cableways can take you to any part of the royal city of Azot.

Of course, for short trips, such as going to the store to buy something, people still prefer to walk. There are dedicated pedestrian crossings on both sides of the road, as well as emergency motorcycle lanes, but the latter are used the least.

Angie stood on the cable car to Elifas Park, holding a tree-pillow koala in her arms, with her father, a blue swallowtail, lying beside her.

The father cotton bird looked very nervous because it had never ridden a cable car before.

Moreover, there were people all around, and it always felt like everyone was looking at it.

Noticing the Swabbit's father's nervousness, Anjie squatted down and patted its head to comfort it, saying, "Don't be afraid, you'll get used to it gradually. And look, everyone has Pokémon around them, no one will pay special attention to you. You can hold your head high."

After Anjie's reminder, Swabbit's father did indeed notice that almost everyone had a Pokémon with them. They chatted and laughed with their Pokémon, and the Pokémon were also close to and dependent on them. It was obvious that they had a very close relationship.

Looking at it this way, it seemed they really hadn't paid much attention to him! With that thought, the father cotton bird finally calmed down.

Before long, they arrived at Elifas Park. Angel, along with the tree-pillow bear and the cotton bird father, found a secluded corner, released the food cart, and slowly headed towards their usual stall location.

The father cotton bird lay on the roof of the food cart, facing the rising sun, getting to know the royal city of Azot for the first time in the early morning.

Upon arriving at the destination, Anjie parked the car, arranged her belongings, and then began making steamed buns.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out.

"Hey boss, you still dare to set up a stall here?"

The one speaking was the uncle selling crepes next to him.

An Jie was taken aback. "What do you mean? Why don't I dare to set up a stall here?"

"You're wanted by the royal family and you didn't know?!" The middle-aged man looked Anjie up and down. "You're not some international fugitive, are you?"

Anjie: ()?

What are you saying? Why can't I understand a single word?

Suddenly, Anjie thought: Could it be that I'm operating without a license, or that my status as an unregistered resident has been discovered?

How about... we don't set up our stall today?

As Anjie hesitated, the uncle seemed to have guessed something and quickly said with a wary look, "Don't even think about leaving. You are the person Her Highness the Princess is looking for. I will not let you go."

It turns out that yesterday, after failing to find Angel, Ji Meiya and Flamel spread the word in Elifas Park, asking nearby residents to immediately go to the palace to inform her if they spotted the owner of the steamed buns and mantou.

She didn't want her actions to be misunderstood by everyone, who thought that Anjie had done something illegal and was wanted by the royal family.

Everyone was quite disappointed at the time, realizing that the person who could make such delicious steamed buns and mantou was actually a criminal.

The people of Azot will not sympathize with a criminal just because he cooks delicious food.

Although the Kingdom of Azot is small, its people are highly united, and the royal family is very popular and always receives a great deal of support.

Therefore, the person Princess Himeya is looking for will definitely not be allowed to leave.

"Come quick, everyone! The little boss is here!"

As soon as the crepe vendor called out, people who came to the park for their morning exercise gathered around Anjie's food cart.

To be honest, people who didn't know An Jie and his steamed bun and mantou stall before have seen their fame greatly increased thanks to Princess Ji Meiya's promotion.

"Tsk~ Tsk~"

Seeing Anjie surrounded by people, the father blue cotton bird immediately flew up from the roof of the car, letting out a sharp cry to intimidate everyone and prevent them from approaching.

Everyone was startled and moved a little further away from Anjie and the food truck.

The tree-pillow koala wasn't idle either. It jumped to the ground, slamming the tree pillow in its arms against the ground with a loud thud. If anyone dared to get close, it could smash their head with a single blow.

"Everyone, calm down. Although I don't know why I suddenly became a wanted criminal in everyone's eyes, I am a good person and have never done anything bad."

Someone shouted, "Your opinion doesn't count. We've already sent someone to inform Her Highness the Princess. Once she arrives, the truth will come out."

Anjie: ...

A moment later, someone shouted, "The princess is here!"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd was pushed aside, and a girl with golden pigtails and wearing a blue royal uniform arrived with a squad of guards.

"Your Highness, we've caught the wanted criminal."

"Your Highness, hurry! Don't let the strange man get away!"

……

The people were discussing it animatedly.

The moment Ji Meiya saw An Jie's face, she felt a jolt throughout her body. It was so similar, so similar, it was practically a magnified version of Prince An Jie from the painting.

After a long pause, Ji Meiya finally snapped out of her daze with the reminders from the crowd. When she learned that everyone thought An Jie was a wanted criminal, she couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Everyone has misunderstood. I only wanted to ask this gentleman about something. He is not a wanted criminal and has not committed any crime."

Princess Himeya's explanation silenced the crowd for a moment.

"Wh...what?! It was all a misunderstanding! Boss, I'm so sorry, so sorry," someone said awkwardly.

"I knew it! You could tell the boss wasn't a bad person at first glance. How could someone who can make that kind of delicious food be a bad person?"

……

In an instant, everyone apologized to An Jie.

At this moment, An Jie looked at Ji Meiya and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for...?"

Ji Meiya said gently and politely, "Sir, may we speak privately?"

Anjie hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Then come to the car." Actually, he was also quite curious about the current situation of the Azot royal family. What happened to his father and mother after his "death"? What happened to his sister?

"Okay." Ji Meiya nodded in agreement.

Ange then closed the doors and windows of the dining car, inviting only Princess Jimia and her secretary Flamel into the car, while the guards the princess brought surrounded the car.

The crowd was very curious about what the princess wanted to see the small business owner about, so they all gathered nearby and did not leave.

A table was set up in the carriage, and three stools were taken out. The three of them sat around the table.

When Angie took off her chef's hat, revealing her full head of blonde hair, both Jimia and Flamel were shocked. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Anjie noticed the changes in their expressions and instantly understood that the princess hadn't come to see him because of his unlicensed business.

That makes sense. Operating without a license is such a trivial matter that it couldn't possibly alarm a princess of a nation. So there's only one possibility...

"Sir, may I ask your name?" Ji Meiya spoke first.

"Angel Azot," Angel replied calmly.

"You... really are surnamed Azot?" Even though she already had a guess in her mind, Ji Meiya was still stunned by the fact. "Azot is a surname unique to the royal family of the Kingdom of Azot."

Anjie pointed to her head and said, "Isn't my blond hair obvious?"

Obviously! Of course it's obvious. You can't find such beautiful and pure blonde hair anywhere else. That's why she was shocked.

"Your name is really Anja Azot? But do you know? That's Queen Anna's brother's name." Jimia asked, suppressing her excitement.

Queen Anna is a household name in the Kingdom of Azot.

Queen Anna? Angie's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that her sister had indeed ascended the throne!

He nodded and said, "I know, Anna is my twin sister."

Upon hearing this, Ji Meiya nearly jumped off her stool, her voice rising involuntarily, "But His Highness Anjie passed away five hundred years ago."

Seeing this, Flamel gently whispered in the princess's ear, "Princess, calm down."

Ji Meiya let out a long sigh, trying to calm her complicated emotions.

Anjie's mind raced for a moment, and she finally decided to fabricate a lie about her resurrection.

"I didn't die, but fell into a deep sleep, a sleep that lasted five hundred years, and I only recently awoke," Anjie said calmly.

"This...how is this possible?" Ji Meiya found it hard to believe. "How could anyone live for five hundred years...?"

"Actually, it was Elifas's experiments that led to the current situation." Ange decided to blame everything on Elifas.

Elifas is the most important figure in the history of the Kingdom of Azot, even more famous than any other member of the royal family, including Queen Anna. He laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Azot's mystical science, allowing the kingdom to continue to this day.

Even within the entire history of the Pokémon world, Eliphas holds a pivotal position; otherwise, Azoth wouldn't have become a place of inspiration for inventors worldwide.

Since Elifas can create the Mythical Pokémon Magearna, then letting Angela sleep for five hundred years and then awaken is not a big deal.

"Elifas?" Jimia exclaimed in surprise.

Anjie nodded. "Actually, I didn't die when I entered the royal tomb. Elifas did something to me and my little diamond, which created an unknown connection between us, and then we both fell into a deep sleep."

Five hundred years later, Little Diamond mutated into the legendary Pokémon Diancie, which allowed me to awaken and recover from my poor health.

I think all of this... must be related to Eliphas.

"Your little diamond has suddenly turned into Diancie?" Jimiya was stunned again.

Anjie nodded, and then he stretched out his hand. The next second, Tianxi appeared in the carriage.

Diancie had no idea what had happened, but when she saw Himeya's blonde hair, her expression showed a slight surprise.

Ange introduced her to Tianxi, saying, "Tianxi, that is Princess Jimia from the royal family."

Tianxi was not surprised and performed a standard royal salute to Jimia.

"Good morning, Your Highness. I am Diancie."

Ji Meiya was so shocked by An Jie's move that she was speechless.

Anjie had no intention of hiding his special characteristics. He had lived for five hundred years and had the legendary Pokémon Diancie by his side. Wasn't it normal for him to have some special characteristics?

Besides, there are plenty of people in the Pokémon world with special abilities, such as Viridian Power, Aura Power, Psychic Power, and Super Power... One more won't make a difference.

At this point, Ji Meiya basically believed An Jie's words. It turned out that Prince An Jie's royal tomb hadn't been robbed; he had simply woken up and walked out of it!

"This... is this the legendary Princess Diancie of the Mining Kingdom?" It took Himeya a long time to recover before she looked at Diancie and murmured to herself.

The Azoth royal family was skilled in breeding Fairy-type Pokémon, and naturally there were records about the legendary Fairy-type Pokémon Diancie, but no one had ever actually seen it.

Princess Ji Meiya never expected that she would have the honor of meeting him today.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it's Eliphas, the origin of mystical science!"

In her mind, apart from Elifas, probably no one could transform a small diamond into Diancie.

Then, Ji Meiya withdrew her gaze from Tianxi and looked at Anjie, saying, "Your Highness Anjie, could I have some of your hair?"

Although she believed Angie's words, the necessary identification still needed to be done. Royal bloodlines could not be confused, and she would need sufficient evidence when reporting to her father.

The technology in the Pokémon world is very advanced. Although Princess Ange and the current royal family members are separated by many generations, they can still confirm whether they are related by blood through genetic testing.

"Of course." An Jie knew why Princess Ji Meiya wanted her hair, so he nodded and casually plucked a few strands of hair and handed them to Ji Meiya.

After obtaining Ange's hair, Ji Meiya handed it to Flamel, who was standing nearby.

Flamel bowed to the two of them, then hurriedly left the carriage with Ange's hair in her hand.
