Elf-like Life

Chapter 87, The Sealed History

What a coincidence!

The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox was borrowed by chance!

Since I can't read The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox this time, I'll hurry up and read the remaining 5 books.

The first book,

The second book,

The third book,

The fourth book,

The fifth book.

Just like last time, all five books were tightly locked up by superpowers, clearly indicating that everything is still in Meowth's hands.

The era of free reading is long gone. To read these five books, Charmander and Pikachu must pay the relevant amount.

Or it could be guild contribution points.

The little dragon is ready: "I'm willing to use all my guild contribution points to pay, so we can watch it now, right?"

[Ding! The Starry Night Expedition Team has handed over all of their Jigglypuff Guild contribution points and shown their disciple status to Psychic Meowth.]

Super Meow Meow first carefully reviewed it, but still shook its head with slight regret.

What? It still can't be viewed? How can that be!

Actually, they could have read it all, but the combined guild points of the two little ones were only enough to read two books.

In addition to being a disciple, one more book can be read.

That means you can read a maximum of 3 books.

And so it was said,

The first three of the five books slowly opened their first pages, but the last two remained locked. Little Fire Dragon thought this wouldn't do.

It's not easy to come all this way. Who knows when I'll be able to save up enough gold coins to come back again?

Therefore, this time we must successfully read 5 books to find as many clues as possible about our origins.

"Super Meowth, please let us finish reading the other two books too, please!"

Pikachu also adopted a "please" expression, waiting for the Grand Librarian's final approval.

Meowth was silent for 1 second.

3 seconds

5 second……

Neither of the two little ones dared to look up, maintaining a devout pleading posture, waiting expectantly for the super-powered cat to respond.

As a result, this Nighttime Meowth is not as strict as the Daytime Meowth, and it has always advocated a semi-free approach to the management of books in the Great Library.

Aside from the requirement to return borrowed books within a specified period, there is room for negotiation if the books are read in person.

"Alright, if you two only read in front of me, I can make an exception and unlock the last two books for you at once."

Charmander + Pikachu: "Wow, thank you!"

whoosh-

whoosh-

At this point, all five history books were opened by the superpower fluctuations, and the dense text inside began to appear in front of Charmander and Pikachu.

Regardless of whether the clues inside are important or not, just read them!

"Pikachu, the last two books are yours. I'll look at the three on the left first."

Pikachu, with a serious expression, replied, "Okay!"

"If you find any clues related to events from 11 years ago, or any relevant timelines, please tell me immediately!"

So Charmander and Pikachu began to read intently.

At this time, no other sprites visited the Great Library, and the entire library was quiet. However, the cool night breeze blowing in through the Gothic stained glass windows continued to stir the Candle Spirits.

It was very quiet all around.

The flickering flame of the candle spirit,

Accompanied by the rustling sound of Charmander and Pikachu rapidly turning the pages of an ancient book, the two little creatures together created a magical summer night.

The little ears of the super-powered cat perked up again, and this time it simply dragged a small wooden chair out of the large library's storeroom.

Along with a set of milk cups, everything was lifted to his front by the superpower fluctuations. Finally, he also picked up an ancient book, enjoying his hot milk while waiting for the two little ones to finish reading it.

The steam from the hot milk was rising.

ten minutes,

Twenty minutes

Thirty-five minutes

The sheer volume of information in historical texts captivated Charmander and Pikachu so much that they lost track of time.

————Clue Divider————

Before 11,

On the East China Sea, opposite the treasure continent, floats an island known to explorers as "Fuyuki Island".

Fuyuki Island has four distinct seasons.

Few elves venture here on ordinary days, and a unique natural climate has formed.

Moreover, the island's spiritual veins first appeared that day, attracting numerous divine beasts to engage in a fierce battle for the Holy Grail.

This is known as the 8th Holy Grail War.

There are some clues about the 8th Holy Grail War in 3 out of 5 books.

Due to the intensity of the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki Island was eventually reduced to ruins.

The victor who reigned supreme above the ruins was Dialga, the god of time.

(The following is supplementary information, titled "The Vanished Heroic Spirits")

According to clergy records,

In addition to the seven Divine Beasts, there was originally a pair of dark horse Servants and Master in this Holy Grail War.

Just as the gods were locked in fierce battle for several days and the Holy Grail War was about to reach its climax, the pair of dark horse heroes disappeared in a mysterious storm.

That great storm

The Holy Grail War escalated under increasingly harsh conditions, and when the seven Divine Beasts clashed, it nearly caused the sky near Fuyuki Island to collapse and tear the heavens apart.

After that, no one ever saw the pair of dark horse spirits and Master again.

The clergy remember this history because this Holy Grail summoning was marked by an unprecedented degree of uncertainty.

Those are the two black horses.

Charmander has found more and more crucial clues, including his painful memory of drowning in the storm that night, and now they all match up!

"That's right, Pikachu!"

"I found the records of the storm, which means I must have accidentally traveled to this world on the day the Holy Grail War was in complete chaos!"

Pikachu is shocked:

"Oh, is that so? But the timelines don't match."

"Look,"

"This great storm clearly happened 11 years ago, during the 8th Holy Grail War."

"And now, 11 years later, I'm meeting you again."

In his excitement, Charmander almost lost track of the timeline, but Pikachu was absolutely right; according to the history books, the timeline was indeed quite confusing.

Could it be that I time-traveled on that stormy night 11 years ago?

And then it drifted on the sea for a full 11 years?

"No, there must be more clues!"

The little dragon muttered to itself:

"The historical records here just mentioned those two dark horse heroes!"

"Pikachu, do your two books contain detailed accounts of the Heroic Spirits in the Eighth Holy Grail War?"

Heroic spirits,

If we were to record it in detail...

Pikachu read with utmost seriousness, and sure enough, hard work pays off. On the last page of the last history book, the list of heroes who participated in the battle was recorded!

—Partial List of Heroic Spirits + Masters—

Dialga + Marshadow (wins the Holy Grail)

Rayquaza + Shemira (failed)

Lunaara + Capocho (failed)

……

……

……

Forest Lizard + Celebi (Dark Horse Team, whereabouts unknown)

Ahem, a chapter packed with information has arrived! The dark horse Heroic Spirit of the Holy Grail War makes a dazzling debut!
