Chapter 379: The Source of Transmigration, The Power of Dragon Veins
With the junction of the central forest mountains and snow mountains as the boundary, the Kingdom of the Vale was divided into North and South Dynasties.
The Northern Dynasty is the orthodox Kingdom of the Vale.
The King is the "King of the Vale" Rami.
The Southern Dynasty is the newly established Kingdom of the Vale.
The King is the "Ruined King" Kazan.
The Ruined King is the name Kazan gave himself; secretly, people call him "Rebel King" more often.
At the gate of the palace.
"Teacher, wish you a safe journey."
"Mm."
Will sat on Druddigon's head and nodded.
Current Rami is already the new King of the Vale.
He knew very well what he would face next, and didn't feel fear because Will was leaving.
Rather.
This exactly met Rami's thoughts.
He didn't want Teacher to be involved in the confrontation between him and Kazan, worried that the revenge-seeking brother would hate Teacher.
As long as Teacher doesn't get involved.
Even if he fails in the future, with Kazan's respect for Teacher, at least Teacher's life will be worry-free, maybe even invited by Kazan to the position of State Preceptor.
Moreover.
Rami was also somewhat unconvinced in his heart.
Both are people recognized by the Divine Dragon; why does everyone think I am inferior to you as a King.
He wants to defeat Kazan openly without relying on Teacher's power, proving himself.
Just.
At this moment, he was really somewhat confused.
However, Rami thought Kazan's side was the same.
Everyone followed Teacher for more than ten years; now without Teacher by the side, he thought Kazan's situation wouldn't be much better than his.
Besides, in terms of using brains, Kazan is inferior to him.
"Rami."
"Yes."
"Hope when we meet again next time, you can become a qualified King."
"I will try my best, Teacher."
Master and disciple bid farewell.
Will rode Druddigon all the way out of the city.
Everyone in Eindoak Town didn't know where the State Preceptor was going, only thinking he was going out for a walk; seeing Will, they all raised their hands excitedly to greet him.
Will nodded in response.
On the second day after the State Preceptor left.
The Second Prince launched the first battle of rebellion.
It seemed Kazan had expected his Teacher would definitely leave.
What he waited for was exactly this moment.
Admittedly.
Kazan is inferior to Rami in strategy.
But he is ruthless enough, can use many vicious plans Rami can't even think of, and unlike Rami, who is hesitant and takes a long time to make a decision.
Nothing complicated.
The white Reshiram carried the Rebel King Kazan, leading thousands of troops to capture Chargestone Cave in one afternoon.
So fast that Rami couldn't react.
When Rami sent troops here, it was already three days later.
Rami sent people to the junction of the two dynasties south of Chargestone Cave to set up a defense line, to cut off the grain transportation of the Southern Dynasty to Chargestone Cave.
Then led troops to surround Chargestone Cave, intending to nibble away the Southern Dynasty soldiers trapped inside bit by bit.
Charged stones are important strategic resources for the Kingdom of the Vale now; this cave certainly cannot be lost.
However.
Kazan's ability to be King was recognized by Will.
Plus his experience on the battlefield is much more than Rami's.
How could he be calculated by Rami so easily?
He immediately sent people to dig a tunnel to transport resources, and at the same time ordered another batch of Pokémon to continue opening the way north, in order to imitate the tactics of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles back then, launching a raid from underground.
The great war broke out instantly.
One battle lasted for several months.
The lightning of the Black Dragon (Zekrom) and the flames of the White Dragon (Reshiram) appeared in the sky of the western continent every day.
Current Hometown of the Vale.
Cannot be called a thousand miles of barren land, but can be called in deep water and scorching fire.
Will didn't know about these.
Because from the third day after the war started, he and Druddigon never saw sunlight again.
The location he was in happened to be directly below the central battlefield!
The deepest part of Chargestone Cave!
That was a secret room surrounded by golden crystals.
Will and Druddigon have been studying here for months.
Originally he came to Chargestone Cave to see the war situation first; he guessed Kazan would attack here first.
Resulted in coming here.
He accidentally discovered that the Scepter of the Vale installed with the Earth Core was vibrating non-stop.
Even the Earth Core on the Scepter of the Vale emitted golden light.
Will looked around.
Found it could only be related to Chargestone Cave.
So went all the way towards the deepest part of Chargestone Cave, until discovering this space composed of golden crystals, confirming the target was here. The Scepter of the Vale almost lost control.
Will couldn't even hold it.
He inserted the Scepter of the Vale into the ground casually, intending to fix it. Who knew as soon as it touched the ground, the Scepter of the Vale quieted down; only the Earth Core was still glowing silently.
So Will stayed and started studying this place.
During the period.
To save time and effort.
Will also asked Big Silly to tame those Boldore and Galvantula outside.
Taming them for nothing else.
Firstly to help deliver some food in, saving running back and forth.
Secondly to guard the tunnel for them, don't let those humans rush in to affect him.
Several months passed.
Will really studied something out.
These golden crystals contained a large amount of Power of Dragon Veins!
More accurately.
This piece of golden crystal is quite close to the Dragon Veins; maybe Dragon Veins pass through a location slightly below, so inadvertently absorbed a large amount of Dragon Veins Power, forming the current appearance.
And the reaction of the Scepter of the Vale and Earth Core was also aimed at the power of the Dragon Veins, not the stones in Chargestone Cave.
"Roar?"
Druddigon woke up and opened his eyes, looking at Will doubtfully.
He has stayed here for a long, long time.
Every day either eating or sleeping.
If not for Will occasionally telling him children's stories, Druddigon would go crazy.
"Useless to be anxious; there is war everywhere outside now, you will be beaten if you go up."
"Moreover, this place is quite important. If this piece of golden crystal is destroyed, the power of Dragon Veins will leak, possibly causing the collapse of Chargestone Cave."
"At that time, not only Pokémon living here will die, even these charged stones might be destroyed mostly; maybe no more charged stones will be born in the future."
"Although our research on charged stones is limited now, in decades or centuries, charged stones will definitely be of great use to the development of human civilization."
"We are not only studying here now, but also protecting here, not letting this precious place be affected by war."
Will nagged a few sentences in Druddigon's ear.
He could understand.
Anyone staying in such a place for several months can't stand it.
Druddigon himself is not a child who can endure loneliness.
But fortunately, Boldore and Galvantula outside can also play with him; otherwise he would be bored to death.
Will didn't want to stay here either.
But the problem is, he made a quite critical discovery here—his consciousness transmigrating to a thousand years ago might be related to those three Pokémon, but also might be related to Dragon Veins.
The reason lies in an iridescent light.
At that time point when the Scepter of the Vale was inserted in the ground for a month, the pale yellow light emitted by the Earth Core actually transformed into iridescent color!
Will understood then.
The Earth Core was absorbing the power of Dragon Veins in that month, and the Scepter of the Vale was a conductive substance, equivalent to a "charging cable."
The current Earth Core is filled with the power of Dragon Veins.
The light of Dragon Veins Power is iridescent light.
Will remembered when his consciousness transmigrated ten years ago, the sky was a colorful iridescent light.
When Black and White Dragons were awakened a few days ago, the sky of the Hometown of the Vale also reflected iridescent light.
Now Will realized.
That was the light of Dragon Veins.
Because of the awakening of Black and White Dragons, Dragon Veins became active, thereby emitting rainbow-colored light.
Don't know what active Dragon Veins will trigger.
But maybe can let human consciousness transmigrate.
What kind of reason and process is involved, is what Will wants to study right now.
Wait until researched out.
He might be able to return his consciousness.
And the place that can be studied.
Only the deepest part of this Chargestone Cave.
"Roar..."
Druddigon glanced at this golden space, eyes full of annoyance.
He hates here.
This place trapped them.
Back to the ground.
Rami rode Zekrom flying rapidly towards the junction.
He didn't expect.
Kazan actually divided the troops stationed in Chargestone Cave into two groups.
One group had only a few hundred people, pretending to continue defending Chargestone Cave to the death, delaying time with the Northern Dynasty army.
But actually.
These people were already discarded pieces in Kazan's hands.
Just like the people of that town back then, abandoned by Kazan in exchange for another good opportunity to attack.
Another group gathered a large number of troops, turning to attack the defense line established by Rami at the border.
The Southern Dynasty army attacked from both north and south directions; the border defense line was hard to withstand.
So Rami rushed here quickly, investigating the battle situation personally.
How fast is Zekrom's speed.
Arriving at the border defense line from Chargestone Cave only took five minutes.
But it was already late when he received the news.
At this moment, people were gone and the building was empty.
Most warriors of the border defense line were slaughtered.
Those lucky enough to survive were probably taken back by Kazan as hard laborers and slaves.
Zekrom landed.
Rami got off his back, looking around.
Ruins and wreckage were everywhere.
The earth still presented a dark red color; a slightly foul smell emanated from the cracks in the ground.
Rami took a few rapid deep breaths, walking somewhat weakly on this bloody earth.
By his feet were broken armor of the Vale, severed limbs of warriors...
Although Rami wasn't here at that time.
But he seemed to hear.
The wailing and painful cries of warriors.
He knelt on the ground holding his head with both hands, gritting his teeth wanting to drive those voices out.
But they were like maggots in the tarsus (bone-eating maggots), telling Rami their pain and unwillingness non-stop.
"Rami."
"Zekrom, send me back to the city."
"Okay."
Rami dared not look more, squinting his eyes and leaving quickly, riding Zekrom towards Eindoak.
