Chapter 245 The Conversation of the Group
Time flies like a gentle breeze through the willows. In the blink of an eye, it's lunchtime.
The gaze fell upon a pit enclosed by an iron cage. Upon closer inspection, a creature with charred skin, its four tentacles and neck firmly bound, could be seen inside.
Not only that, the pit also contained muddy, murky water. Its depth was just above the elf's chest. And beside it, there was also a half-submerged yellow crystal core.
As you can see, this is Xuan Mingtian's view this morning. He hastily constructed the water prison in a fit of rage because the other party had taken advantage of him.
Similarly, the elves within the water prison are the Deoxys couple, who had a car accident while speeding through space and crashed onto Earth.
The location of this water dungeon can be discovered by careful observation as you walk in from the manor gate.
There's an old saying that goes something like, "Never offend the elderly, women, or children."
Moreover, this person has memories of being over thirty years old, yet possesses the mind and body of a child.
All I can say is that the other party is really unlucky.
"Glug~ Hiss~, Xiao Tian, your Miracle Seed makes the best tea. By the way, the sprite in the water dungeon, is it the one that made you come back in the middle of the night?"
After taking a sip of tea, the speaker leisurely recounted the new world he had discovered upon entering the manor.
That's right, this person is Sakaki.
However, what he was thinking at that moment was: "Why would they lock an elf and a yellow crystal core in a water prison? This must be to deal with someone they have a grudge against."
"That's right, Brother Tian gave it a chance. He let it follow him for 100 years, but it just took advantage of that and now it's soaking in water."
The one who spoke was Yang Bin, who was sitting to the side. At this moment, he was indignantly criticizing Deoxys.
Actually, the biggest reason, in the end, was that everyone was startled when the door was broken into last night after dinner.
"Alright, so it's this Pokémon. But I'm a little curious, why is this Pokémon so overconfident? Can't it sense the powerful Pokémon on you?"
"Hey, Gym Leader Giovanni, you know what. It barged into my house all excitedly without saying a word. As a result, it offended Rayquaza, and now, well, it's in trouble."
"Indeed, after being defeated by Regigigas. This morning, I already gave it face, but it still wouldn't listen. Hmph~ Does it really think I'm easy to bully?"
The group chattered amongst themselves, including several men such as Sakamoto, Xuan Mingtian, and Xiao Gangbinzi.
"By the way, Gym Leader Sakaki, I need your help with something. However, it involves some procedures that are prohibited by the League. So..."
Hearing Xuan Mingtian's veiled words, Sakaki instantly understood the other's thoughts. After all, the other knew about his secret dealings.
However, he still vaguely glanced around.
"Master Sakaki, don't worry. Everyone here is a close friend or confidant. There will be absolutely no problem."
Sure enough, when you talk to a smart person, they understand your meaning immediately after you mention just one sentence.
"Uncle Xiao, take the simplified blueprints to Master Sakaki for a look. See what needs improvement and what parts are unsuitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Xiao stopped making tea. Instead, he took out a drawing he had spent half an hour creating and handed it to the other person.
For a moment, the entire reception room fell silent.
……
Their gaze shifted and landed on Jun Shaen.
At this moment, she was with a group of female relatives, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake from a pavilion by the lake.
Of course, various pastries and tea drinks are also placed on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Oh my gosh~ It's delicious, Xiao En, I'm so envious of you. You know, even the elders in the clan don't enjoy life like you do. Now, all the sisters envy your lifestyle."
"Oh, Sister Ming, please~, as the saying goes, a woman follows her husband wherever he goes. But you're getting engaged soon, so there's no use being envious."
Even though Jun Shaming had just finished lunch, she couldn't resist the delicious-smelling pastries on the table. She could only eat while teasing Jun Shaen.
However, she was absolutely right. Every member of the Officer Jenny family must visit the clan's territory before reaching adulthood. But the elders and matriarchs there—these elders of the clan—their after-dinner rest is actually not as enjoyable as Officer Jenny's.
"Ugh~ What do you mean by 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken'? You bastard, you're poking my trachea right now, you know that? Watch this, the invincible tickle."
"Hehe, Sister Ming, stop tickling me. That's all you can do. When do you want to come over? I'll take a day off to play with you."
"Hey~ You said it, you can't go back on your word."
"Okay, hahaha~ Stop tickling me, I promise you."
Unfortunately, even if Jun Sha'en agreed, she couldn't escape the other party's punishment. Fortunately, she found another target: Xiao Qingmei, who was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines.
Aunt Xiao and Aunt Xiaomi were spared because one was pregnant and the other had already gone far away to see her daughter.
However, the scene, with its bursts of pleasant laughter and graceful figures on the pavilion, caused the lake sprites to raise their heads and gaze towards the source of the noise, determined to see who was disturbing their afternoon nap.
……
In the reception room, Master Sakaki finished reviewing the blueprints in just a few minutes; they were considered relatively simple.
"How should I put it... don't you think this feels a bit like burying your head in the sand? Especially the entrance, which is made directly from the nest of a giant bee. It gives people a... um... a very formidable feeling."
Upon hearing Sakaki's words, Xuan Mingtian immediately fell into deep thought.
That being said, when Xuan Mingtian initially considered it, he was thinking of doing it in his own manor. Moreover, in the elven world, private territory is sacred and inviolable.
That's why Xuanmingtian arranged for the entrance to be placed in the nest of the giant bee.
"Master Sakaki, you must have considered that there might be spies or infiltrators in the manor sooner or later, right?"
Seeing the other party nod, Xuan Mingtian continued, "Master Sakaki, you can rest assured about this. It's impossible for spies to be involved, and similarly, even if there were infiltrators, they couldn't possibly enter this research institute."
"Alright~ Since you're so confident, are you really going to use the lowest level for weapons research?"
"I've considered what you said, and it seems to only involve researching various high-tech technologies besides weapons. However, you must understand, aside from money and the ability to protect it, I'm basically clueless about the prerequisites. So..."
