-----------------------------------
Just as Count Cacalo was reading the letter the centaurs had sent to Jason, Lu Ming was in a grove of trees not far from the town of Calypso, practicing the Farron Blitz with Princess Ella and her daughter Kanina.
However, after teaching them how to use it, Lu Ming began taking the walking grass and the little fox Lu'er hunting in the forest.
Whether it's the magic rabbit or the water deer, they are all prey for Lu Ming and his two little pets.
"Walking Grass Sleeping Powder! Road Flame Powder!"
Following Lu Ming's command, Oddish and Lu'er each released a large amount of blue and red powder.
Flame Powder is Miracaissa's basic magic, with very little power; it's not even enough to ignite wood. However, it can slowly roast some magical rabbits that have been put to sleep by the sleeping powder.
After the magic on the flame powder was exhausted, the magical rabbits emitted a fragrant aroma, which made Ella and Kanina, who hadn't eaten breakfast, look over involuntarily.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming only gave each of them one rabbit leg; the rest were either eaten by Ella's guards or fed to Lu'er.
"This isn't fair!" Ella and Kanina cried out as they struggled with hunger.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming turned around and looked at the two of them, asking with some confusion.
"I'm hungry!" Ella and Kanina said in unison.
Seeing this, Lu Ming smiled inexplicably, took out a magic book from his pocket, pointed to a sentence in it, and read: "'Hunger can help magicians master magic faster, because when hungry, the body's potential can be used.' This was said by the Archmage Lekine Hames."
"I don't care! I'm a princess! You should listen to me!"
Seeing that Ella was putting on airs like a princess just to get some food, Lu Ming couldn't say anything more. He could only have Ella's guards bring two legs of an unfortunate water deer to Ella and Kanina.
Watching them completely disregard their image, tearing into the deer leg, Lu Ming sighed slightly, wondering if he had gone a bit too far. However, as a teacher and a father, he could never admit his mistake. Even if he was wrong, he was still right!
Lu Ming could tell that Ella and Kanina didn't want to continue. So, feeling a bit bored, Lu Ming had no choice but to continue deeper into the forest with Oddish and Lu'er.
According to the townspeople, there are powerful magical beasts in this forest, and Lu Ming has seen some of them.
Unfortunately, in the end he discovered that the powerful magical beast the people in town were talking about was just a large bear that was almost at the third tier.
Holding his phone, Lu Ming glanced at the requirements of the next main quest, "Chosen One of the Earth," which appeared after he had completed the main quest "The Lover's Expectation," which only gave him twenty gold coins. He decided to take it down!
The reason is that the quest "Children of the Earth" requires killing three different kinds of creatures: centaurs, demonic bears, and Gaelga ground sloths.
The centaurs are dealt with, and the demon bear is right in front of us. Now all that's left is Gaelic Wasteland, whose location is still unknown.
At the same time Lu Ming spotted the giant bear, the bear also spotted him. It immediately let out a roar and pounced!
"Walking Grass Sleep Powder!"
Anyone who has a control skill and doesn't use it is a fool, so without saying a word, Lu Ming had Oddish scatter a large amount of blue powder, forcing the bear back.
Although Big Bear retreated in time, he still got a little bit of the sleeping powder on him and couldn't help but yawn.
"Fine Snow!" With the added power of the Irithyll Straight Sword, Lu Ming unleashed a torrent of icy air, freezing one of the bear's paws to the ground, preventing it from escaping.
What followed was a brutal beating.
The seed machine gun, flame powder, and poison powder—three different skills and spells—were used on the bear, instantly leaving it on the verge of death.
The problem is that, no matter what, the bear is the darling of the earth, and unlike the centaur, who is useless if he can't charge, the bear still has a special skill.
That was a huge flying rock!
A huge rock was summoned by the dying bear, which then slapped it away, sending it crashing down on Lu Ming.
However, this move by the bear was completely useless against Lu Ming. It might have been somewhat effective against other opponents, but against Lu Ming...
"Evil Wave!" Lu Ming unleashed a wave of malice, instantly blasting the boulder that the bear had thrown into pieces.
However, this evil wave not only destroyed the large rock, but also completely destroyed the bear's hope of survival!
"Fran's Short Arrow!" A soul arrow shot from the Perheim Magic Staff, shattering the bear's forehead and killing him instantly.
Just then, the walking grass next to him suddenly emitted a bright light, startling Lu Ming.
"This is... evolution?" Lu Ming looked at the Oddish that was slowly growing in the light with great surprise, feeling both happy and a little worried.
But in any case, Oddish evolved into Gloom.
When the light faded, Lu Ming discovered that the Oddish had grown much larger, and a huge flower had sprouted on its head.
"Doo~!" The evolved Gloomy cried out, and then, under the puzzled gaze of Ru'er who didn't understand why her companion had suddenly become like this, walked to Lu Ming's feet.
Lu Ming picked up the Oolong Flower with a thud, scratching his head, unsure how to explain it to Kanina and the others. Should he tell them that his Oolong accidentally fell into a pond and then bloomed?
Helpless and with no other options, Lu Ming could only make up a lie. But when he smelled the stinky flower, he found that it didn't smell bad at all; in fact, it had a faint sweet smell, like nectar.
"That's a sweet scent? Did it learn a new skill as soon as it evolved?" Upon smelling the sweet aroma, Lu Ming knew that Gloom had truly learned new skills. However, he didn't yet know exactly how many new skills it had learned. But the magical rabbits in this forest would be excellent test subjects.
Also, it would be great to have Gloom tease Ella and Kanina, those two lazybones!
Chapter Fifteen - Warcraft Assisted Battle
"The new moves include Dissolve, Giga Drain, Sunny Day, Petal Dance, Protect, Toxic, Photosynthesis, Moonburn, and the Grass-type ultimate move Solar Beam. Overall, this evolution was worthwhile." While calculating the new moves Gloom had learned over the course of more than an hour, Lu Ming, carrying Gloom in his arms and with Lu'er perched on his shoulder, walked out of the depths of the forest to meet up with Kanina and the others.
Kanina, who was bored and practicing her flanking arrows by herself, rushed over to Lu Ming as soon as she saw him emerge from the woods, wanting to ask him when he would be back in town.
But after seeing the Oddish in Lu Ming's arms, Kanina couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, what did you do? Why did the Oddish suddenly bloom?"
Before Lu Ming could even come up with a lie after hearing Kanina's question, Princess Ella, who was not far away, said with disdain, "This is evolution!"
"You know?" Lu Ming asked instinctively as soon as he came across the word 'evolution'.
"While there aren't many magical beasts that can suddenly evolve in the capital, they do exist. Also, one of the earls serving the Grand Duke has one of these strange magical beasts."
"Can you tell me what breed those in the capital and that count's are?" Hearing Ella's words, Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
"The most common monster in the capital is called Pidgeot, while the Earl's one seems to be called Typhoon."
"The starter Pokémon, and one of the Gold and Silver starter Pokémon?" Lu Ming frowned and muttered to himself as he glanced in the direction of Agamemnon.
"The starter bird? One of the three starter birds?" Because she was close by, Kanina heard Lu Ming's mutterings and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, she didn't ask Lu Ming directly, since it was still a question whether Princess Ella's guards could be trusted.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming led everyone back to the town of Calysop. There were some things he wanted to ask Ella, but he couldn't ask them because the guards were there.
-----------------------------------
Holding the stinky flower, after examining it carefully, Sham looked at Lu Ming, who was drinking water and talking nonsense with a straight face, with some curiosity.
"Lily told me you know a lot about Oddish. So I absolutely don't believe you that you don't know why Oddish blooms. But I know you don't want to tell me, so I'll leave it at that. However, you must tell me everything in detail when you're in your room at night. Otherwise, you'll know what will happen!"
"I understand." Lu Ming swallowed nervously and sighed helplessly.
The consequences of a strong woman and a weak man are dire. Fortunately, Sham doesn't understand what it means to really fight, otherwise Lu Ming wouldn't have lied.
After a while, Sham handed a letter to Lu Ming.
Looking at the one-eyed raven emblem on the wax seal of the envelope, Lu Ming asked curiously, "I don't remember recognizing any nobles with this kind of emblem. Why would they write to me?"
“I don’t know that the nobleman of Erebus had this as his coat of arms, but since he had such a coat of arms, he must have been a nobleman. There is no doubt about that.”
Even Sham, who was familiar with the nobles, didn't know which noble had sent the letter, so Lu Ming had no choice but to open it and take a look.
"I am Count Artus Lecord of Erebus. Don't be surprised why I'm writing to you, for I've heard of your great name. To defeat a swordsman while merely a magic apprentice—such a feat can only be accomplished by you. Well, enough of that. The main reason I'm writing to you is the Beast Assistance Battle Tournament to be held in Paris City in ten days. This is a joint battle between masters and their beasts, which will severely test the master's command abilities."
As the organizer, I hope you can participate, since you also raise monsters, don't you?
Furthermore, I won't let you come for nothing. Everyone who participates will receive a reward from the organizers. And if you win, you'll get even more!
Artus Le Cod's book.
After reading the letter, Lu Ming handed it to Sham.
"A Warcraft Assisted Battle Tournament? When did Erebus start holding such bizarre competitions?" Sham was puzzled as she read the letter. In her memory, Erebus had never held such an outlandish competition.
"On my way back to Agamemnon, I encountered some civilians in Typhon Forest who were capturing magical beasts. They gave me Lu'er."
“I know that, you said that… Wait! You mean the reason those commoners go to capture magical beasts is so that the nobles can use them in this competition?” Sham said in great surprise.
Lu Ming nodded: "Very likely."
Just then, Lily suddenly asked, "So, will you participate in this competition? You and Kanina are both very good at it, aren't you?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, "The other party is an earl, yet he wrote to me personally. His meaning is very clear. You have to come, whether you like it or not. There is no room for me to refuse."
"So, you have to go?"
"almost."
Just as the three of them were considering Count Lecord's monster-assisted battle tournament, Kanina and Ella suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"What's wrong with you two?" Lu Ming asked, noticing the strange expressions on their faces.
Kanina grabbed Lu Ming's hand and asked expectantly, "Dad, can Princess Ella and I participate in that Warcraft Assistance Battle Tournament?"
"Were you two eavesdropping just now?" Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, somewhat angrily.
"We didn't mean to eavesdrop, we just overheard a little bit when we were passing by," Kanina quickly said, knowing that Lu Ming might be angry.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming didn't believe her at all. If she hadn't been eavesdropping, how could she possibly have mentioned the Warcraft Assistance Tournament?
But before Lu Ming could point out that Kanina was lying, Sham and Lily said in unison, "Is that so? Then you can participate."
"Yay!!" Kanina jumped up excitedly when she heard that Sham and Lily agreed with her idea.
"why?"
Lily smiled and said, "Isn't her collaboration with Luca quite impressive?"
"But what about herself? This isn't a Warcraft command competition!"
"No, what about you? Besides, not everyone is like you, able to defeat a swordsman of a higher level." Lily turned to Lu Ming, revealing a breathtaking smile.
Since Lily had said that, Lu Ming didn't dare to say anything else. He could only obediently admit defeat.
But Lily and the others only agreed to Kanina's request, and not...
“I am a princess. Although you are my teacher, you have no right to discipline me.”
Alright. Princess Ella's words made Lu Ming understand why the Grand Duke had kicked this trouble to his side.
However! Since there's no way to veto it, then we have no choice but to teach them a cruel lesson!
"Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to give you two special training." Lu Ming slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely dangerous smile, and said to Kanina and Ella.
Upon seeing the smile on Lu Ming's face, Kanina and Ella tried to run away, but Lu Ming picked them up one by one.
-----------------------------------
In the courtyard, Lu Ming and Gloom stood on one side, while Kanina and Lucario stood on the other. Ella and the others watched the battle and took notes over the house.
