Chapter 372: Projected Body
Rooftop of the Kingdom of the Vale's palace.
Will and Druddigon sat here quietly in a daze.
"Roar..."
"Roar?"
"You won't understand if I tell you; don't ask."
"Roar."
Druddigon turned his head back, continuing to stare at the sky in a daze.
Will sat on the rooftop, looking at Eindoak Town below, his gaze complex.
"Druddigon."
"Roar?"
"Next, you need to train harder."
Will reached out and patted his big head,
Five years.
Druddigon went from Lv. 15 back then to the current Lv. 60.
One step further, and he can enter the level of a Gym Leader.
This level.
Even on the battlefield, is a top-tier combat force; only the Haxorus of those generals in the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles can compete with him.
However.
Facing thousands of Pokémon, this level will only be overwhelmed instantly.
Druddigon must reach the Elite Four level for Will to ensure he can at least retreat safely from all battlefields every time.
Lv. 70+, still can't beat thousands of Pokémon.
But if wanting to run, those thousands of Pokémon shouldn't be able to stop him.
"Roar."
Druddigon nodded obediently.
He listens to whatever Will says.
Big Silly isn't really silly; he just looks silly. Actually, Druddigon knows Will does everything for his own good.
Following Will, Druddigon can eat well and sleep well every day, just occasionally needing to fight with other Pokémon in the army.
Such days are still very happy.
He doesn't want such happy days to leave him.
"Short as one year, long as seven or eight years, the Kingdom of the Vale is probably about to face a huge catastrophe. You must have enough strength to survive that catastrophe."
Will sighed, looking at Eindoak again, eyes full of worry,
How long can this peace in the Hometown of the Vale last?
"Roar?"
Druddigon lay on the ground, blinking his eyes.
"Dresa has been too tired in these five years. Watching the development of the Kingdom of the Vale, his emotional fluctuations are too intense, leading to his illness getting worse."
"The medicine I prepared two years ago is completely ineffective for him now; now can only rely on my Aura Power to suppress it. I fear his days are numbered."
"Rami, although braver, has excessive kindness and indecisiveness in his character. He is too far from becoming a King. Most importantly, he doesn't have the ambition to become a King."
"Kazan's character is becoming more and more extreme; extremely irritable, extremely confident, extremely cruel, extremely caring about face, ambition evident. Although he is more suitable to be a King than Rami, if he really becomes the King of the Vale, I'm afraid the Hometown of the Vale will hardly see peaceful days again."
"The most critical thing is... me."
Speaking of this, Will looked down at his hand.
More accurately.
It was his panel.
No progress at all.
His panel hasn't moved since coming to this era.
When he didn't level up in the first two months.
Will had already noticed something wrong.
Until half a year.
He completely confirmed his body was stagnant.
In the following four and a half years.
Besides assisting Dresa in governing the country, educating students, and leading troops in battle, Will conducted various attempts.
Finally he discovered.
He is probably a special existence between ideal and reality.
The current Will in this era is somewhat like Liz whom he saw with the power of the Time Ripple back then.
That is.
Projected Body.
But only somewhat like.
Although Liz could manifest and speak in the future, only Will could see her.
Until the last year of the third life.
When Will lost the power of Time Ripple and needed to use Aura Power to stimulate the Time Flower to see Liz, other people could see her.
What he is stronger than Liz at that time is...
His projection can "interact" with creatures of this era, thereby affecting this era.
While Liz could only project what she did and said a thousand years ago into Will's eyes by screening.
But probably because his main body is still in the future Dragonspiral Tower.
So Will cannot obtain benefits acting on his physical body in this era.
Held items.
Level.
Height and weight.
These cannot change.
Will even tried throwing out the held items on his body.
But failed.
He can use the power of held items, but cannot throw held items out.
This is the most headache-inducing thing for Will right now.
If his strength could be honed in this era.
Then he wouldn't have so many things to worry about now.
Speaking of the most reliable partner around him right now...
Actually is the cowardly dragon Big Silly beside him.
This Druddigon who shamelessly followed him five years ago.
However.
Everything has two sides.
For him being just a projected body, maybe there are benefits too.
For example.
No matter how long his consciousness stays in this era, the time on the main body side is frozen.
As long as he can return his consciousness to the main body, he can immediately return to that summer of League Calendar Year 184, without worrying about the possibility that Cynthia might have aged too much after a long time.
"In the end, these are just my guesses; have to go back to know the specifics. Right now..."
Will looked down at Eindoak and sighed.
Can only take one step and look at one step.
Turning back.
The heartless Druddigon had fallen asleep on the ground sometime.
Will shook his head, turning to go downstairs.
Passing Dresa's room on the fourth floor, hearing painful groans coming from inside.
Will knew Dresa was lying in bed again.
With the worsening of the illness.
Dresa's daily working time was forced to reduce; most of the time it was Will handling state affairs.
Only for some major events would he ask Dresa.
Even.
Not asking is okay.
Even if asked, Dresa just let him make the decision.
The current Will.
Is considered the Regent of the Kingdom of the Vale in the true sense.
Will just walked to the study, and saw Dresa's close minister waiting at the door.
"Lord State Preceptor, the two princes are back."
Seeing Will, that person bowed respectfully and said.
"Let them come to the study to find me, then go bring the two eggs I brought back the other day; be careful."
"Yes!"
Entering the study.
Will waited for three minutes.
Rami and Kazan pushed the door and walked in.
Generally speaking, even princes have to knock before entering the study.
But Dresa rarely comes here now; this place has almost become Will's office, so he let these two disciples skip that troublesome step.
"Teacher." (x2)
The two brothers lowered their heads slightly after entering, counting as a salute.
Rami and Kazan.
Really have characteristics.
Rami often holds a notebook in his hand.
While Kazan always ties that Blade of the Ruined King behind his back with a rope.
"Mm, speaking of which, you are also 13 years old; time to have your own Pokémon."
Will sat cross-legged on the table, putting down the "Pokédex" in his hand.
This Pokédex wasn't written by him.
After all, he can't write the characters of this era.
Just that the contents inside were indeed provided by him.
Hearing Will say this, the two teenagers were somewhat excited.
Rami and Kazan had long wanted to tame their own Pokémon.
Just that Teacher never agreed to this matter.
"You also understand Pokémon quite well; do you have any desired targets?"
Will looked up at these two teenagers and asked.
"Up to Teacher's arrangement!" (x2)
The brothers answered simultaneously.
Rami and Kazan looked at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts.
Pokémon they find themselves might not be good.
But those Teacher finds for them definitely won't be bad.
However, on this point.
The brothers really thought wrong.
Whether a Pokémon can be trained well depends most critically on whether the trainer can train them attentively.
What the trainer wants the Pokémon to become.
Pokémon will respond to the corresponding expectations.
"Alright, just right. A few days ago, several Ghost-type Pokémon trainers in the army stole a few eggs from the army camp of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles. I picked two, handing them over to you to raise."
Will nodded, looking at the study door.
The next moment.
Knock knock.
Knocking sounded timely.
"Enter."
"My Lord, eggs brought."
"Put on the sofa."
"Yes."
After putting two Pokémon eggs on the sofa, the close minister retreated by himself.
"Teacher, is there anything special about these two eggs?"
Kazan walked up and squatted down to observe.
But no matter how he looked.
These seemed to be two ordinary Pokémon eggs.
But he also knew he wasn't good at this, so he turned to look at Rami beside him.
After observing for a while, Rami frowned and said:
"Eggshells are shiny and glossy; dare not say anything else, but the talent of the Pokémon in these eggs should be better than the same species."
Rami could only see this much.
"Correct, the life aura and Aura in these two eggs are very strong; they are individuals with very high talent, should be specially bred for the royal family by the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles."
Will nodded; intercepting these two eggs was really a pleasant surprise.
He doesn't know the specific species of Pokémon in these two eggs, only knows no matter what, they definitely belong to the level of "genius" in the same species.
Just right, Rami and Kazan should also raise their own Pokémon.
Will held these two eggs in front of them.
"Which one is mine?"
Kazan asked.
"Not decided; choose by yourselves."
Will shook his head.
Kazan frowned and observed the two eggs.
One showed blue-green color.
The other was brown-red.
"I want this one."
Kazan immediately chose the brown-red one.
No other reason.
The armor of the Kingdom of the Vale is brown-red.
And the armor of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles is dark green.
In Kazan's view, that dark green egg gave him a feeling of being a lowly breed of the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles.
"Then this child will be my partner in the future."
Rami didn't think so much, picking up the remaining egg, a happy smile on his face.
He is finally going to become a trainer.
