Elf-like Life

Chapter 88, The Gears of Time

Many thanks to Han Xiuchen for the 500 pen points reward.

Forest Lizard + Celebi!!!

The moment the little dragon saw the names of these dark horses, it felt a strong resonance with them, and it also recalled those fleeting images that had flashed through its mind.

In the Hall of the Holy Grail,

The flowing black holy water...

As they parted,

It was the forest lizard and Celebi that were calling to him...

"That's right, it's them!"

The little dragon excitedly grabbed Pikachu's little paw and shouted:

"What I saw at that time were a forest lizard and a Celebi, who, at their last moment, desperately tried to convey to me, 'You must save this world!'"

【!!!】Pikachu:

"Hey hey hey hey!!!"

"You've finally regained your memories, Charmander! What about the others? Have you remembered any other clues?"

The identities of the forest lizard and Celebi can now be confirmed.

As for the rest, Charmander still had no clue, such as why he had traveled to this world, or why the forest lizard and Celebi had conveyed those words to him.

The little dragon shook its head:

"Oh, this..."

"That's all I've learned from reading today, I'm so sorry Pikachu. I thought I could uncover my past all at once, but it seems things aren't that simple."

Pikachu's biggest worry is that Charmander will do something silly again, racking his brains to find clues to his memories.

But this time it's clear that the Great Library helped Charmander confirm the exact timeline of his journey, the exact Pokémon he encountered during the journey, and so on. It can be said that it was a great help.

Seeing that the two little ones had finished reading,

The super-powered cat naturally twitched its small, dark purple ears, secretly using its superpower fluctuations to lock the five books shut again.

Click X5,

The fifth book is locked.

The fourth book is locked.

The third book is locked.

The second book is locked.

The last one is locked.

Ultimately, Charmander and Pikachu felt the reading time was a bit short.

After all, if you only pay guild contribution points to read books, you can only read the books on-site. If you have a lot of gold coins, you can borrow five books at once and then pay a fee every day thereafter.

Ultimately, it boils down to two words:

No money!

While the two little ones were reading ancient books, Super Meow was also busy, quietly reading a very thick history book while enjoying hot milk.

There aren't many elves who enjoy reading history books.

More than reading, this amazing cat prefers to chat with fellow history buffs.

"How was your reading?"

The little dragon was the first to politely nod:

"I benefited greatly from it and found many important timelines, such as the Holy Grail War."

Pikachu chimed in:

"History books are really worth studying. I used to read them just to finish my studies, but I should read more history books from now on!"

Meowth calmly and gently touched the spouted pot that was floating in mid-air, and then the spouted pot tilted automatically under the influence of telekinesis.

Finally, the steaming hot milk was poured into the teacup using incredible telekinesis.

As the classic book in the hands of the Super Meow Meow was opened and closed.

Pikachu inadvertently noticed the name of the ancient book in Meowth's hand. The thick cover had many wrinkles from years of use, but the yellowed pages inside were still well preserved.

Most importantly, the book's title is closely related to the Holy Grail War.

The True Story: The Past and Present of the Holy Grail

Forehead!

Why isn't this book among the five books that just appeared in front of us? Did that Super Meowth miss it when it searched the library the first time?

The next instant, Meowth shook its head:

"Of course not. Considering your financial situation, this book is actually the sixth book we've prepared."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that there are too few readers. If I don't take it out and flip through it, I'm afraid the Candle Spirits will get upset again."

As they were talking, several candle spirits suddenly appeared on the deepest bookshelf, seemingly releasing angry candle flames at all times.

The psychic cat used its telekinesis to slightly control the emotions of the candle spirits deep within, and said:

"I unintentionally caught the turmoil you were feeling just now."

Very strong!

"You all really want to ask me one thing: [What exactly is the Holy Grail described in this book, and its history and origins?]"

The little Charmander was dumbfounded, feeling that this Meowth could also read minds. In any case, that was what it had just been thinking, and now it didn't even need to open its mouth to express itself.

They can directly resonate with their inner selves using telekinesis and experience their own emotions in an instant.

Meowth took a sip of warm milk and then asked Pikachu:

"And what about you, Scholar of the Encyclopedia? Why don't you share your knowledge about the Holy Grail as well?"

Pikachu lowered its head in shame:

"Well, actually, I don't know much about this either, so I hope the administrator can give me some pointers."

The little fire dragon echoed:

"Yes, please tell us more! We would be more than happy to do so!"

Throughout the entire conversation, Super Meowth showed no arrogance whatsoever. He simply hadn't had a close interaction with the readers late at night for a long time and wanted to chat with the two little ones about the Holy Grail.

So this time they caught them red-handed:

"Well then, gentlemen, I'll just share my thoughts on this book as a bonus for your second extra reading time."

"Wow, thank you so much!" (X2)

(The Past of the Holy Grail - Pages 1 to 56)

The Holy Grail is a sacred object that grants all wishes and gathers all energy.

Arceus created the Holy Grail and witnessed firsthand the fierce struggles for it.

Medium.

(The Holy Grail in the Present Life, pp. 112-156)

Until that day,

Above the temple, the Gravel of Judgment fell from the sky, smashing the only remaining Holy Grail in the world with three irreparable cracks.

At this point, the power of the Holy Grail is no longer complete, but has been diluted to 34%.

Medium.

(The Essence of the Holy Grail, pp. 253-301)

Since then, Arceus has believed that stabilizing the world's energy requires diversity, rather than a single Holy Grail.

Finally, it was created again.

7 Gears of Time, accounting for 33%.

Seven world-class treasures, accounting for 33%.

In this way, the seven Gears of Time, the seven World Treasures, and the shattered Holy Grail together form the cornerstone for maintaining the energy of this world.

"Also recorded by clergy as"

—7 to the power of three.

【!!!】Charmander: Seriously? This world even has laws of 7 to the power of 3?!

Enough said, please hand over all seven pacifiers in the world, and all seven rings of the Vongola Family!

Pikachu suddenly realized:

"I see. So those mythical beasts fight for the Holy Grail every few years just to get that 34% of the energy?"

"I thought that whoever obtained the Holy Grail would have 100% power and be invincible!"

After hearing everything, the little dragon couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Since it is 7 to the power of 3,

If I were Rayquaza, even if I couldn't get the Holy Grail, I could still collect the 7 Gears of Time, or gather all 7 World Treasures.

In short, if I collect them all, wouldn't I be truly invincible?

Pikachu knew what Charmander was thinking and immediately poured cold water on his thoughts:

"You wish, little dragon!"

"I know that, because in this world, you can never find all 7 Gears of Time, nor the 7 Great World Treasures~"

The cube of 7 is here, along with the familiar seven Gears of Time from Space Exploration. The main plot continues to be high-energy. Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers! I'm also asking for your votes, rewards, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
