Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

At this moment, Du was still chattering.

"I was also shocked when I heard that this level of energy fluctuation appeared in the city, but fortunately."

"They are still monitoring the data. If there is any disturbance later, I will just take the portal back... But there shouldn't be any problem."

Yun Xiao pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly said:

"Brother Du, has energy fluctuations of the same magnitude ever really appeared in history?"

"It's the kind you said, covering the entire Demon City."

Du thought about it, a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his expression became a little serious.

"It seems... there really was one time."

"It should have happened about 150 years ago. At that time, humans had just developed instruments to detect the fluctuations of the secret realm. A few days later, such terrifying energy fluctuations were detected near an island near Australia."

"The fluctuations lasted for more than a day before disappearing. The Alliance sent a fleet to observe that area of ​​sea and found that all the nearby islands had evaporated, including a small city called Xianhai City. Thousands of residents in the city were also missing."

"This incident caused a huge stir within the alliance at the time, but the investigation did not yield any results. In order to avoid causing social panic, the news was suppressed and listed as one of the alliance's secrets."

"I know you won't tell anyone, so I'm telling you... Well, this happened 150 years ago, and only 1,000 people were missing. Although it's not a good thing, it's insignificant compared to other large-scale casualties in the past 100 years."

As Yun Xiao listened to Du's words, his heart became heavier and heavier.

He thought of a possibility that was not so good.

"Do you know what that disappeared city looks like, Brother Du?"

Watari shook his head.

"One hundred and fifty years ago, my father wasn't even born yet, so I definitely wouldn't know."

"What's wrong? Why are you curious about this?"

He looked at Yun Xiao and said in surprise.

"No, I just suddenly wanted to ask."

Yun Xiao shook his head.

"It was a city built on an island. It was said to be quite famous more than a hundred years ago. But after that incident, it suddenly disappeared in the long river of history."

"If you want to take a look, you'll probably have to find some qualified Alliance archaeologists. All the information about this city has been banned by the Alliance. Only qualified senior archaeologists know this."

"Speaking of which, Bi Ningshuang's father, the former president of the Demon University, Bi Haitao, is a senior archaeologist."

"It's a pity. If he hadn't suddenly disappeared, Dragon Country would probably have one more powerful champion now."

Du said this, touched his chin, and suddenly sighed.

"Sometimes I wonder whether the appearance of elves is a good thing or a bad thing for humans."

"They have indeed greatly promoted the development of human civilization and established an unbreakable bond with humans. However, the advent of secret realms, the elf tides, and the destruction of cities by mythical beasts... these disasters also appeared along with the arrival of the elves."

After a few seconds of silence, Du suddenly smiled.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. At least I can establish connections with so many guys and become partners with them. I have no regrets in my life."

"Come on, it's time to show you the Alliance's resource library."

He took a step and walked out of the room.

Yun Xiao shook his head, still thinking about what had just happened.

One hundred and fifty years ago, an energy fluctuation of similar scale caused the disappearance of an entire city...

The image of the upside-down black city reappeared in his mind.

I hope my guess is wrong and this is all just a coincidence.

It's time to follow Du to pick up the belongings.

He shook his head slightly and followed Du's footsteps.

What Yun Xiao didn’t know was that at this very moment, in that dark world.

Countless black mist-like figures were wandering aimlessly above the upside-down city streets. They seemed to have no thoughts of their own, nor any purpose for existence. They were just floating back and forth.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the city, and the whole city began to become illusory and transparent.

And above this transparent city, a huge scarlet shadow suddenly emerged.

Countless black lights enveloped the city streets, followed by hundreds of painful wails, cries, and screams, which resounded in this dark space, like hell!

After a few seconds, all sounds fell silent and the black light dissipated.

The colors of the city solidified again and returned to their original appearance.

However, the difference is...the dark shadows on the street have all disappeared.

Only a huge black shadow passed over the city and disappeared.

...

At the same time, on a remote island.

In the dim room, a bell rang, and the large screen in front of the table lit up.

A man half-kneeling on the ground, wearing a Team Rocket uniform, appeared on the screen.

"Lord Sakaki, I have brought two pieces of news."

"explain."

In front of the screen, Sakaki stretched out a hand and gently stroked the cat boss's head.

"Yes."

The man on the screen lowered his head even lower:

"The first thing is about Yun Xiao. According to your instructions, we monitored his recent actions. He participated in the league's youth competition and won the championship."

"Throughout the entire competition, his performance was amazing. Whether it was his knowledge, adaptability, or combat command, he was extremely outstanding."

"Most importantly, he showed at least a high-level Quasi-King level in the final round and defeated Xia."

Sakaki seemed interested.

"Xia is not his match?"

"Yes, even though Shia used her ability in the final, she still lost."

"I think people like this must be used by our Rockets team."

The man nodded.

Sakaki paused for a few seconds and said softly:

"Send someone to contact him and see how he reacts. Be careful to avoid the alliance."

"Is there another news?"

The man replied:

"Another...Test subject No. 2 is ready. The aircraft has arrived over Australia and can be dropped at any time."

...

After Yun Xiao followed Du out of the portal room, what he saw was a huge and solid iron gate, like a city wall.

In front of the iron gate, there stood two rows of security personnel wearing Alliance uniforms, each of them followed by an elf.

Yun Xiao used the Soul Eye to scan the data of those elves and found that the strength of each elf was at least at the mid-level quasi-king level!

I think this is not a problem. After all, this is the resource library of the alliance, a key place among key places. It needs a large number of capable trainers to provide security to ensure the safety of these resources.

However, Yun Xiao was still a little surprised to see these dozens of quasi-king-level security guards.

The number of Quasi-King-level trainers is much smaller than that of gym leader-level trainers. It can only be said that this is worthy of the league.

Du walked in front of Yun Xiao and showed the golden card again. The security guards made way and bowed to Du.

And Du used the card to scan a machine on the wall, and the steel door opened.

"Come on, let's go in."

Du waved to Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao immediately followed.

Behind the gate is a long passage.

"Brother Du, is that card of yours some kind of identification as a champion?"

Yun Xiao suddenly became curious.

"I guess so, but not really. This is actually a special pass from the Alliance that allows me to enter many places without having to apply to the Alliance in advance."

Watari explained.

"For a place like the Alliance Resource Library, even an ordinary Elite-level trainer needs to apply to the Alliance three days in advance before entering."

"By the way, did you see the iron gate outside? It is said that this thing is made of an alloy extracted from meteorites by the scientists of the Alliance. It can absorb energy of any attribute and can also buffer physical forces. Even my Dragonite can't break this wall."

Du smacked his lips.

"So sometimes I think you guys who do scientific research are really amazing. You can always make discoveries from things in nature that are more powerful than the power of elves."

Yun Xiao listened to Du's description and nodded with empathy.

Even in this world full of Pokémons and trainers, the influence of science is still great.

At the same time, the two of them also crossed this long corridor.

"Well, welcome to the Alliance's resource library."

Du clapped his hands.

The scene that appeared in front of Yun Xiao made him open his eyes wide.

This place is like a huge furniture warehouse, with all kinds of towering shelves that seem to have no end in sight. Judging by visual observation, each of these shelves is estimated to be at least 20 meters high and dozens of meters wide.

And on each huge shelf, there are various resources and props classified into different categories.

Ores, energy blocks, props, carrying items, powders, potions, skill secrets...

Yun Xiao had been surprised once when he looked at the Demon University’s resource library. Now that he saw with his own eyes the massive reserves of the Alliance’s resource library, he was surprised again.

"Let me tell you a joke. More than a decade ago, the Alliance had a sudden idea to calculate how much the items in the resource library were worth. Later, they gave up because it was an astronomical figure that could not be calculated at all."
