LRAB Chapter 751 The Mystery of the Slate
Chapter 751 The Mystery of the Slate
Hyota is very knowledgeable about the underground world. With his introduction, everyone has a deeper understanding of this mysterious world.
But his subsequent outrageous remarks shocked everyone.
"Have you heard? A lot of stone slabs have been dug out in the underground world recently, dozens of them."
What?! Dozens of stone slabs?! Everyone present, except for Hao, the outsider, was shocked.
Most of the people present were native Sinnoh people and knew the legend of Arceus' creation of the world. According to legend, each stone tablet contained a part of Arceus' power, and there were eighteen stone tablets with different attributes.
But when this ladle opened its mouth, dozens of stone slabs appeared, which overturned everyone's three views.
"Teacher, are these stone slabs some rare treasures? Why are you all so shocked?" Hao asked curiously.
Yang Ming just felt his throat was dry and had no way to explain this problem.
Seeing everyone looking at him in shock, Piaotai was already prepared and quickly took out a notebook to show everyone. This notebook contained reports on various stone tablets recently excavated in the Sinnoh region, all cut out from newspapers and pasted into the notebook.
"On April 4th, cave explorer XXX unearthed a Fireball Slab in the northwest Sinnoh region."
"On April 4th, Gold Digger XXX unearthed a piece of dripstone in the southeastern part of the Sinnoh region."
"On May 5th, the Baidai City archaeological team set out from the northwest of Tianguan Mountain and excavated the underground ruins of Tianguan Mountain. They unexpectedly discovered three stone slabs..."
The more they flipped through the pages, the more frightened they became. In the end, the number of stone tablets recorded in the notebook was just as Piaotai had said, dozens of them, and there were as many as five fireball stone tablets alone!
Not only are these stone slabs of the same type, but some of them were even discovered together. The most exaggerated of these reports was that an expedition team dug out 7 stone slabs at once!
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Piao Tai raised the notebook in his hand.
"Then where did these stone slabs go later?" Yang Ming asked.
"At first, everyone thought these were things related to the legendary Pokémon Arceus, and they fought over them until they were bloody. But then they found out that these stone tablets were almost useless except for slightly increasing the power of Pokémon of various attributes, so no one took them seriously anymore," Hyota explained.
"No wonder there wasn't any bloodshed in Sinnoh after so many stone slabs were dug out. It turns out these stone slabs are just for show." Yang Ming suddenly realized.
At this moment, Sirona walked into the living room with several maids.
"I have prepared dinner. Please go to the restaurant for dinner." Shirona said with a smile.
During the meal, the always outspoken Ji Xian finally asked the question Yang Ming had been wanting to ask: "Miss Sirona has summoned us here for a while now, but she only told us to protect two important treasures. Now, can you tell us what these two treasures are?"
Sirona put down the cutlery in her hand, her expression becoming serious. "Actually, everyone has heard of these two treasures. They are related to the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia - the Diamond Orb and the White Jade Orb!"
"Viamond Bead?! White Jade Bead?!" Yang Ming's heart trembled. This was the second big news he heard today.
"We had originally planned to wait for Grandma to come over to start researching these two orbs," Shirona continued, "but for some reason the news leaked out, causing Team Galaxy to suddenly set their sights on these two orbs."
"Team Galaxy? Are you referring to the organization that's been causing trouble in the Sinnoh region recently?" Xiao Song interrupted. "I heard that the leader of this organization is very mysterious and no one knows his true identity."
Wait?! The Sinnoh Alliance still doesn't know the true identity of Team Galactic's leader?! Yang Ming's expression suddenly darkened.
In fact, it wasn't just him, a time traveler, but even the internal documentation of Team Rocket's top brass stated that the leader of Team Galaxy was Red Sun. And yet, after all this time, the Alliance, the ruling world, still hadn't discovered Red Sun's identity?!
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. As the leader of the Flare Team, Fradili was able to disguise himself and sneak into Yuanzhu City. His true identity was not revealed until Bixias launched the war. All these things are enough to show that the alliance's intelligence system is close to failure.
"Thinking about it, if it weren't for Bixias, the insider who leaked the information, the League probably wouldn't have discovered the Rockets' base in the Kanto region," Yang Ming sighed inwardly. "It's amazing that a super-large organization like the League has even less administrative efficiency than the makeshift team I put together."
However, it is precisely because the league is so corrupt that he, a Rockets cadre, can demand a bounty from the league for the head of a wanted criminal. Life is truly amazing.
"Because Team Galaxy is targeting us, I asked everyone to come to Shenhe Town to help," Shirona continued. "But just at this time, Mr. Chiri, the wealthy businessman who has been funding my grandmother's research project, suddenly sent a message to my grandmother. He expressed his willingness to come with his highly paid bodyguards to protect the two precious jades, and asked my grandmother to contact him."
"So until Mr. Chi Ri's team arrives, I can only keep it secret for the time being," said Sirona, bowing to everyone. "I'm really sorry for keeping it a secret from you all these days."
"Since Miss Sirona has chosen to be honest with everyone now, does this mean that Mr. Chi Ri's bodyguard team will soon arrive in Shenhe City?" The meticulous Piao Tai immediately discovered the key point and hurriedly said.
Shirona nodded: "Yes, early tomorrow morning, my grandmother will lead Mr. Chi Ri's team to Shenhe Town."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. From Shirona's tone, it seemed that this man named Chi Ri was very wealthy, and his bodyguards must be quite powerful as well. With such a group of people helping them, they believed they would be able to repel Team Galaxy.
Yang Ming's heart sank suddenly. He was the only one among the people present who knew that the so-called "rich businessman" Chi Ri's real identity was the boss of the Galaxy Team, and his so-called "bodyguard team" was probably actually the elite force of the Galaxy Team.
"This group of people entered Shenhe Town under the pretext of protecting the Diamond Orb and the White Jade Orb. They're like a tiger among sheep!" Yang Ming thought to himself. "But he's also Shirona's grandmother and Dr. Mustard Orchid's financial backer. Even if I expose his identity in public, I'm afraid no one present would believe it except Hao and Cattleya."
"Alas, now that things have come to this, I can only keep the secret in my heart for the time being. I'll just have to see what happens when the time comes."
