I DO NOT OWN THE POKEMON
Chapter 32 - Voice Of History
"I think it was on normal level, how did it become the SS level?" Teacher Zhang murmured, as he didn't know where this situation was going.
But when he noticed the sad faces of the students around them, he consoled them, "You don't have to think too much. You don't have to worry about the Beast Tide. We have so many Beast Tamers, and even our district beast tamers failed. We have the Legendary Beasts Tamers from the Frost Maple City. Everyone goes back to your home." He then turned towards the Azlan, "And Mr. Azlan, if you want to see the Beast Tide, please come with me."
Azlan nodded, and together with his groups, he was just going to follow Teacher Zhang, then he again heard the same voice. "Wait a minute," He said, and he started searching, from where the voice comes from.
As he searched, he locked onto the source of the "sound". It was from a stone statue… However, no matter how he looked at it, this stone statue didn't look like an extraordinary life form. This was just an ordinary stone statue made according to the appearance of the stone giant. So how does the sound come from here?
"I think I heard the voice from this stone statue?" Azlan said to the group.
"What? How can this be possible? Could this statue have become a spirit? Impossible. If it had evolved into a transcendent life form, it would have long been noticed by other Beast Tamers or Beast Tamers Association," Teacher Zhang said, he didn't believe in the Azlan.
"There was a lot of traffic here. In a place like the Beast Tamer Association, high-level Beast Tamers could be seen everywhere. There were also a bunch of Beast Tamers with talent in telepathy. A wild transcendent creature couldn't be hidden. This stone statue has been here for at least a few years."
"Even if that legendary Ice Dragon revives, our Beast Tamers can take it on. In ancient times, dragons were unreachable creatures, but in modern times, Dragon Tamers had long become a profession. Although they were rare, they weren't that hard to find. So, it was impossible," Teacher Zhang still believed, Azlan didn't hear any voice.
But then suddenly, Crack!
Then, everyone was attracted by the stone statue again. This time, the stone statue indeed made a sound, but it was the sound of cracking. Under their gazes, the stone statue cracked directly from top to bottom…
While everyone was focused on the Stone statue, Azlan looked up and opened his mouth… because the sky seemed to have suddenly trembled.
"What?" Teacher Zhang was shocked, now he can't tell what just happened. "I think you need to come with us? And kids, you all returned back to your home."
Azlan nodded, and this time he followed Teacher Zhang towards the Beast Tamers Association.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the Beast Tamer Association presidents from all districts and counties in Frost Maple City came to Ping Cheng.
In a certain valley in Ping Cheng District.
The nine master-ranked Beast Tamers of different ages looked at the spatial door formed by the cracks spreading down from the sky, their expressions carrying some surprise.
"It's indeed a mystic realm space."
"It can also be said to be an ancient ruin space." Apart from these nine people, there was also a 10th person present.
The youngest of the nine master-ranked Beast Tamers while the others were above thirty years old. Unlike them, the 10th person present was very young.
It was a woman in her early twenties with short brown hair. She was wearing a white shirt, a black short skirt, and a knee-length white research suit. At this moment, her expression was cold, and her gaze under the glasses was especially serious and focused.
"Doctor Lu, what do you think?" The people were speaking very respectfully to her.
Lu Qingyi said, "I once tried to decipher the Ice Dragon Ruins, but I failed. The information I have now is still too little. I can't figure out the truth from the place. Now that this ruin has appeared, perhaps the things inside can provide more information. By the way, did anything else happen in Ping Cheng when the ruins descended?"
The president of the Beast Tamer Association of Ping Cheng said, "An ancient stone statue in the garden area of our association collapsed, and from the group of some Elves and humans, a guy claimed he heard some voice from the statue. Now, a member of our Beast Tamers is bringing him to Beast Tamers Association."
"The guy hears the voice from the stone-giant statue?"
"Yes."
Lu Qingyi's expression didn't change, but she made a judgment in her heart. From the looks of it, this ruin space didn't descend by accident; instead, someone had touched the echoes of history. Did another special talent in telepathy that could "listen to the Voice of History" appear?
"Then let's visit the person, who has heard the voice?" Lu Qingyi said, others nodded, and they all went towards the Beast Tamers Association.
Meanwhile inside the Beast Tamers Association, Azlan was reading the history of the Human Kingdom. The history of humans was roughly divided into two Eras. Mythical Era, and Beast Tamers Era.
The Mythical Era was said to be the era when the earliest batch of Mythical creatures born in the world ruled the planet. They were Titan, Dwarves, Elves, Magical Beasts, and many others strongest creatures. But at that time, humans were the weakest, they weren't able to easily survive under the territories of powerful creatures in various ways.
But then came the Beast Tamer Era. It was the era when humans began to master the ability to control beasts. It started with a single guy, who lived together with a weak Magical Beasts. And then both of them fall in love, and when they express it, then suddenly both of them feel a mental connection.
It tells them how to connect with each other, and from there the Beast Tamers was started. The weakest Magical Beasts become the strongest creatures. This was the turning point of the humans, and they started to fight back with the Titans, Dwarves, Org, Goblin, Giants, and other similar creatures. But it was still hard for the humans to survive the terrifying attack and capabilities of the other creatures.
But then the most important turning point happened for the humans. It was the time a guy named Wang Xian tamed a Mythical Void Dragon, and he became the Dragon King of the humans. Single handedly, he pushed back all of the strongest creatures, and created the human kingdom. Where the humans can live without the fears of getting killed anytime. Now, they can focus on their other work, instead of the fear of survival.
It was a very simple division of two eras. However, due to some special reasons, there were many gaps in the history of this world. For example, why the first batch of Mythical creatures had collectively disappeared was a historical enigma that had happened at an unknown time. And what happened in Frost Maple 2,000 years ago was clearly a history that the people of today had yet to fully explore.
"So, Mr. Azlan, just as we hear the crack of the stone statue, same time a Mystic Realm was opened. And some of the important Beast Tamers think, both of them were related," Teacher Zhang was giving every information which he found.
"Mystic realm? What's that?" Azlan asked, he doesn't know about the Mystic Realm.
Teacher Zhang explained, "You can understand it as another alternate space independent of our current space. For example, our Beast Taming Space can actually be considered an independent alternate space. Well, let me put it this way. The predecessor of the mystic realm is actually the Beast Taming Space."
"How should I put it? There's a saying that after a Beast Tamer dies, the Beast Taming Space will also collapse. But after some powerful Beast Tamers die, the Beast Taming Space may be preserved. Under the will of the Beast Tamer, it will form an independent mystic realm space. It can also be said to be a small world."
"At this time, the mystic realm space no longer has the effect of binding extraordinary creatures. It's already a completely independent space. Any living creature can enter it. The environment inside, according to the degree of development of the Beast Tamer when they were alive, would still be suitable for the growth of individual pets. It's just that compared to the Beast Taming Space, it's slightly weaker."
"But even if it's weakened, it's still a treasure land with abundant energy, suitable for the growth of spiritual plants and pets."
"A powerful Beast Tamer's Beast Taming Space?" Azlan asked. "An ancient Beast Tamer?"
"Well, it must be from ancient times. If it were our current level system, that Beast Tamer would have at least Legendary-level strength."
"What are the Legendary Beasts Tamers? Because I only heard about the Student, Apprentice, Tamer, Advanced, Master, Advanced Master, Peak Master, Grand Master and Advanced Grand Master ranked?" Azlan asked, since he was grown in the Elves Kingdom, there he only knew about this system.
"You are right, but Student Tamers and Apprentice Tamers, all come in the single category of Apprentice Beast Tamers. Same with the Tamers and Advanced Tamers, comes in the professional category. Then with the Master Tamers, Advanced Master Tamers, and Peak Master Tamers comes in the master category and then finally the Grand Master category. In simple words, Apprentice, Professional, Masters and Grand Master."
"But then comes the Legend category, which was above the Grand Masters Category. And anyone can only become the Legendary Tamers, when they are able to tame Legendary Magical Beasts. And with the help of Legendary magical beasts, when the Tamer reaches a threshold, he is able to increase his Beast Taming Space and he can even Tame the second Magical Beasts."
"What?" This time not Azlan, even Elysia and Freya were shocked, they have never heard about this information. It was really shocking for them, that humans can tame more Magical Beasts than one.
"Well back to topic, so if it's really a mystic realm space, there must be a lot of rare resources or pets inside. Even if there's nothing, it's still a treasure land that can produce high-value resources for a long time. Now that this thing has appeared in Ping Cheng, our gains here will definitely be the greatest. If it's developed properly, maybe the economy can develop very quickly."
"What if the Magical Beasts inside are very strong and ferocious?" Azlan asked, but before he got his answer, he noticed some people coming towards them.
And leading the group was an even younger beautiful woman, probably still in her twenties. And beside her was a Wind Demon Lion.
"This is the Wind Demon Lion!" Teacher Zhang gasped in a shocked voice. The Wind Demon Lion was a creature that looked like a lion and a hound on the surface. It was nearly two meters tall when sitting. It had fluffy white hair and dignified blue eyes. Black cloud patterns lingered around its neck, limbs, body, and long tail. It was especially domineering.
"Roar…" The Wind Demon Lion grinned.
"Let me introduce myself. Lu Qingyi. I have a doctorate in archaeology from the Xiya Holy Capital University, and I'm a member of the Xiya Holy Archaeological Association." Lu Qingyi looked up at Shi Yu.
"From now on, you guys leave everything to me, I need to know something from them," Lu Qingyi said, the others nodded and exited the place, leaving the Azlan's groups with Lu Qingyi.
"I want to know something, I hope you can cooperate with me," Lu Qingyi turned towards Azlan and asked him.
Azlan thought for a while, "Ok, you can ask."
"So mister, can you please tell me your name. And I just want to know about the voice you heard from the stone statue," Lu Qingyi asked.
"I am Azlan Starwind, and about the voice from the stone statue. It was telling, 'It wasn't like that,' continuously. But how can the stone statue tell something, if it was a living thing?" Azlan explained.
Lu Qingyi answered, "No, the stone statue is dead. However, there are exceptions to everything. When some dead things that carry the faith, will, and emotions of many life forms undergo the baptism of time, it's possible that they can give birth to 'spirits'. 'Spirit' is an ethereal concept, unrelated to life, mind, or soul. The archaeology world calls it 'echoes of history'."
"Only a very small number of people with special talent can hear this echo. Therefore, the archaeology world also calls Beast Tamers who have mastered such a gift of telepathy 'those who can listen to the Voice of History'."
"To be able to hear the Voice of History is a very impressive talent. In our long history, there have been many gaps, and countless truths were hidden. And ruins are therefore the most important way for modern people to understand history. However, these preserved ruins are often protected by extraordinary powers, and it's also very difficult to decipher or even find them."
"But someone who can listen to the 'Voice of History' is far easier to find. They can crack the key information of the ruins much better than ordinary people. This time, because you woke the 'spirit' of that stone statue, it triggered an ancient ruin to the surface. The truth of the area's history might be found within."
"I don't think you have come for just knowing, what I heard, and telling me about the Voice of History. So the purpose of your visit is…" Azlan asked, since he already tells them that he heard some voice, so he didn't believe that just for asking again the Beast Tamers Association sent Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi said, "You're very talented and a natural archaeologist. I want to invite you…"
"I'm not interested in archaeology and your group. I don't want to join any Archaeological Association," Azlan cut her before she completed her words.
Lu Qingyi was puzzled. "Who said I wanted to invite you to join the Archaeological Association? With your talent, it's a little wasteful to join the Archaeological Association. Currently, in the entire Green Waves Continent there are only eleven known 'listeners of history', including you."
"They are even fewer than legendary Beast Tamers, even fewer than the number of Legendary level creatures in the country. Do you know what this means? You were invited by another organization. Having this talent means that you must like this field. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for you to hear the voice of the stone statue."
"Maybe there were only 11 people in the entire Green Waves Continent who could listen to the Voice of History. Or it was rarer than legendary Beast Tamers. But I will not join it," Azlan again declined her offer.
"You don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. Men are all creatures who say one thing and mean another. There are also many benefits in joining with us. Even if you become a Legendary-level Beast Tamer, you won't receive benefits this good. Basically, after you become a member of the organization, your status will be higher than a legendary Beast Tamer."
"If you want to explore some ruins, apply for a huge amount of resources, and get a legendary Beast Tamer to be your bodyguard… all of these are possible." Lu Qingyi smiled sweetly while explaining.
"And after joining us, you don't even need to fulfill any obligations. The organization's structure is very simple. There's a lot of freedom, and the missions are all by choice. You won't be forced."
Although that was the case, would a Beast Tamer with such a talent choose to stay idle? Whenever new information about the Mythical Ruins appeared, those who could listen to the Voice of History would definitely rush up immediately to assist in the exploration or become exploration leaders. After all, normal people wouldn't awaken this special ability at all.
"Well whatever your organization's benefits are, I was not even a little bit interested in the group, so I will not join it," Azlan clearly again declined.
Lu Qingyi was shocked, she didn't know why this guy was not able to react knowing the benefits of the organization, she was again going to explain many benefits of joining. But before she continued, someone was knocking on the door.
She opened the door, noticed the president of the Beast Tamers Association was standing outside. She asked in an angry tone, "What happened? Did you not know, I am in the middle of a meeting."
"I am sorry for distributing you, but it was confirmed that the Beast Tide was SS level, we need all of the help. I have also informed the President of Konda Country Beast Tamers Association about this. They have replied, they were sending some Legendary Beasts Tamers to help us," President replied.
"What? How did it escalate to such a high level, we immediately need to reach the border," Lu Qingyi said, and she quickly decided to forget about inviting the Azlan in the association, first they needed to stop the Beast Tide.
"I am also coming with you, since I want to know why the Beast Tide is happening?" Azlan shouted from the inside. Lu Qingyi agreed with it, and together they all reached the border area of Frost Maple City.
After they reached the watchtower of Frost Maple City, they noticed many people were having panicked faces. And in this place, they also called the Beast Tide as Monster Siege.
"Monster Siege?"
Hearing these words, one young man's face changed dramatically. The dozen or so young men beside him were also stunned.
"A monster siege?"
They cried out in surprise, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
At this moment, the bell suddenly rang throughout the entire holy sea town, and the rapid bell chimes echoed in everyone's hearts.
"What happened?"
"What's going on? Why did the bell of the faraway watchtower suddenly ring?"
"Not good, something bad has happened!"
When everyone in Ping Cheng town heard the bell, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes revealed shock.
"Ping Cheng town, all mercenary groups, all Beast Tamers, be on alert! The monsters are about to attack the city!"
At this moment, a majestic voice covered the entire Ping Cheng town and entered everyone's ears.
When everyone heard this voice, their expressions changed drastically.
"It's the mayor's voice. Monsters are attacking the city!"
"Oh my God, monsters are attacking the city! Monsters are attacking the city! What level of monsters are attacking the city?"
"They actually made the mayor take precautions personally. The monster attack this time isn't simple. I hope it's not a powerful monster!"
In an instant, the entire holy sea town was in chaos. The weak citizens prayed with pale faces. A monster siege, a terrifying monster siege! For everyone, the biggest disaster was a monster siege. In the Green Waves continent, many cities were destroyed by the monster siege and turned into ruins.
Countless experts died under the monster siege. Once the city was breached, at least a million people would die. The sudden siege of the city caused everyone to look terrified.
"Epic Magical Beasts are attacking the city. Everyone, don't Panic! Konda Empire has also sent the Legendary Beast Tamers, they can also help us! The mercenary will start the mission to defend the city!"
At this moment, the voice from earlier sounded again, comforting the panicked people. "Epic monsters are attacking the city. Fortunately, with the mayor's presence, and Legendary Beast Tamers we should be able to resist them!"
"Phew, an Epic level monster attacking the city shouldn't be too much of a problem!"
"An Epic level monster is still a little dangerous. Come, let's go to the position of the city wall."
"The mission to defend the city has begun. Haha, as long as we defend Ping Cheng Town and kill the murderer Demon Beasts, we will be able to obtain a huge amount of resources to increase the level of the mercenary group!"
Some of them heaved a sigh of relief and followed closely behind the mercenary group and the city wall. A monster siege was not very rare on the Green Waves continent, especially for the Frost Maple. It happened once every few years.
Compared to the safer town, where the mayor's strength was around Master rank. Only a special city like Ping Cheng town was the Grandmaster Tamer. Every time a monster attacked a city, a lot of Beast Tamers would die.
However, every time a monster attacked a city, it was an opportunity for any mercenary group. As long as it was not a destructive monster siege, they could kill a large number of fierce beasts and Magical Beasts with the advantage of the city wall.
The corpses of these Magical beasts and murderers were treasures!
"Let's go. It will be difficult for Epic monsters to destroy the Ping Cheng town. This monster feast is our chance to improve our strength quickly!"
Wang Xian's eyes sparkled as he immediately ordered the members of his mercenary.
A group of members of the Worm Palace followed behind Wang Xian and headed towards the city walls.
There were four city gates in Ping Cheng Town. Only the south gate of the East Gate was closer to the forest. Wang Xian headed straight for the East Gate.
The mission to defend the city was about to begin! There were also many mercenary groups rushing towards the East Gate. The entire street was filled with Beast Tamers, activating their fusion forms and holding different weapons. Their faces were filled with fighting spirit.
The city wall was filled with city guards. They were standing on top with bows and arrows in their hands, and weapons in their hands. In the middle of the city wall stood a middle-aged man, with many other important people. The strongest person in Ping Cheng town, the mayor of a town, Jin Qianyuan!
Azlan with his group and Lu Qingyi, and the president of Beast Tamers Association was also standing there, waiting for the Monster Siege.
At this moment, beside Jin Qianyuan was an old man dressed in the uniform of a member of the Konda Country Beast Tamers association. The words "Konda" were written on the old man's clothes. This was the Legendary Beast Tamers.
At this moment, there were many mercenary groups gathered in front of the city gate. Each of them held a weapon in their hands, waiting for the mission to be activated and the mayor's order.
"According to our investigation, this should be the first wave of attack. There are even more powerful beasts that will attack after the first wave," In the middle of the city wall, Jin Qianyuan stared ahead with a serious expression, while he explained the situation to Lu Qingyi.
In the forest ahead, groups of creatures run towards them. At a glance, they were densely packed, almost endless. At the front was a very strange monster.
A white shell was on both sides of its body. It had four limbs, and one of its arms was as long as a knife. The knife was emitting a golden light. This monster was not very big. Most of them were about one meter in size, and the biggest one was only three meters in size.
This was a golden scalpel Hyena, a beast with the lowest level Golden Ranked. Together with also the Golden Ranked Wolves.
Other than the ground, there was also a strange creature in the sky. Its entire body was pitch-black, like a bat, and it had a sharp mouthpart and a black whip-like tail.
Every time this creature stirred, it would bring with it a dense black aura. Its aura seemed to far surpass that of the golden Hyena below. This was a demonic winged beast. Its strength was at least at the second rank of the Platinum realm.
Apart from these two creatures, there were other creatures behind it. However, they were still very far away from the Ping Cheng town.
"Kill the first wave of beasts as soon as possible. Let the mercenary group take action first. The few experts in the city are ready to deal with the leader of the fierce beasts at any time!" Lu Qingyi stared at the front with an expressionless face and said slowly.
"Well, apart from the west gate, the East Gate, the north gate, and the south gate will be attacked. The East Gate is in the center!"
Jin Qianyuan's eyes flickered. Seeing that the aquatic creatures were about to arrive, he ordered, "The city defense mission is activated!"
