Chapter 871

Ah?

Am I a believer?

The confusion that appeared on All Baimu's face aroused the dissatisfaction of Calyrex in the golden coffin.

Its jewel-like eyes widened.

【Are you questioning me!?】

The solemn and vast voice buzzed in his mind like a bell, which made a trace of anxiety inexplicably emerge in his heart, but it disappeared quickly.

Calyrex's eyeballs became rounder and rounder.

【Are you okay?】

What a strange thing to say, what does it mean he's okay...

Got it!

This guy just did some small trick he didn't know about!

All Baimu turned his confusion into seriousness and said: "Calyrex—Your Majesty, I am not questioning you, I just hope that you, who know everything, can resolve my doubts."

He imitated the language habits of those subjects in court dramas, maintained a respectful attitude, and resisted the urge to use 【Heart of God】.

The communication with the three legendary giants made him understand that this thing is a very shameless act for some Pokémon with a strong sense of self.

Whether the King of Abundance accepts it or not is unknown, it's best not to test it blindly.

【... Hmph.】

Calyrex's gaze softened.

It said: 【Shallow faith is better than no faith. Seeing that you are the only human who believes in me, I pardon your sins!】

The banquet hall was still noisy, with many people resisting arrest.

Either begging for mercy, or scolding, or claiming to be familiar with someone, or even shouting that they needed a lawyer.

Calyrex ignored everything.

It said: 【Do you have a request of me?】

All Baimu nodded: "Yes!"

【Do you believe I have the power to satisfy your wish?】

"... That's also correct."

【Do you respect me?】

"Without a doubt."

【Since you believe in me, respect me, and have a request of me, you are a believer!】

Calyrex's voice echoed in All Baimu's mind with conviction.

That's right.

Faith is complicated to talk about, but actually very simple.

As long as you believe that God really exists.

Believe that God can really bring you what you crave, and respect it at all times.

This is already faith!

As for the situation of dedicating one's whole heart to God and regarding it as a spiritual sustenance, that should belong to further fanatical faith.

Calyrex also mentioned 【Shallow faith is better than no faith】 just now, proving that he belongs to the shallow believers.

So that's it!

He expressed his shame sincerely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for resolving my doubts."

【Hmph! A king should naturally enlighten the foolish!】

Calyrex's tone was still majestic, but its eyes became relaxed and gentle: 【You have the merit of guarding, and you are a believer. I shall temporarily bestow upon you the position of imperial guard, help me up!】

Hearing this.

All Baimu said thank you while holding Calyrex's small claws with his right hand and reaching for its back with his left hand.

Who knew the other party's eyes widened again.

【Do humans of this era not even know etiquette! How can a subject touch the king's body at will!】

"Your Majesty, the times have long since changed. Many traditions have been submerged in the long river of time, and in this era, everyone is equal, and subjects and kings have long since become useless titles. Besides, I am just a country boy, how would I know the etiquette of the ancient era?"

He said honestly: "In an emergency, please be magnanimous, Your Majesty."

This made Calyrex, who could see through people's thoughts, very frustrated.

Has it changed to this extent in a mere ten thousand years?

However, it didn't reveal this emotion, just like it hadn't revealed that it currently lacked even the strength to stand up.

The overly long slumber and the world's forgetting made it unprecedentedly weak.

Let alone calling its own beloved horse, it couldn't even exert a tiny influence on the human in front of it who spoke a strange language!

The "fighting" around was still continuing.

Calyrex couldn't know the past and future as it once did, and the unknown situation made it feel quite panicked inwardly.

This was an experience it had never had before.

But it knew it couldn't let the human in front of it see it.

It knew better than anyone how hateful humans are; these guys who were respectful in front of it were actually more capable of changing than a Ditto!

Not trustworthy!

【... I allow it.】

Calyrex maintained its majesty and added: 【Also, you have been bestowed the position of imperial guard, from now on you should call yourself a subject!】

Subject?

It became a subject just like that?

All Baimu was surprised at Calyrex's understanding; it clearly always showed a majestic posture of wanting to punish, but persuading it was so easy.

A wise king!

A true wise king!

No wonder it is regarded as a Pokémon with a heart full of compassion that can heal the soul!

It's fine as long as it can be talked through; titles like subject and king are fine as titles, if it really made him follow that set, he definitely wouldn't be happy.

Mustard probably wouldn't be able to accept it either.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He reached out to help Calyrex up, but because the bottom of the coffin was quite deep and its body was too small, only the huge bud protruded from the coffin, and its gaze was parallel to the edge of the coffin.

Calyrex: 【...】

It had never hated itself for not being tall enough like this moment!

"Your Majesty?"

All Baimu didn't understand why Calyrex's eyes suddenly became deep, and turned to look at the police officers who had almost finished catching people, saying: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report."

Calyrex returned to its senses: 【Speak.】

"The current era is dominated by humans, this time waking you up from the tomb..." He briefly described the situation, and finally said: "I implore Your Majesty to leave the trivial matters to me, I will definitely go through fire and water for you, and will not regret even if I die!"

Go through fire and water! Will not regret even if I die!

What imposing and loyal words!

As expected of the only believer in this era!

Calyrex, who was almost numb from listening to various modern situations, had bright eyes: 【What you said... is it true?】

"It couldn't be truer! Also, please forgive their disrespect, Your Majesty, they just forgot your prestige."

All Baimu was very worried that the police station would take away the golden coffin and Calyrex together on the grounds of stolen goods, not to mention the consequences, whether it could be safely brought to the Orre region was a problem.

He had to trick Calyrex into trusting him.

It's just that.

The country boy from Orre never expected that the weak King of Abundance didn't dare to trust anyone at this moment, and the believer in front of it was regarded as its only reliance.

【Then I leave everything to you.】

Both human and deer laughed.

This was also the first expression Calyrex revealed.

"All Baimu!"

Officer Jenny walked onto the high platform, her pupils shrinking when she saw Calyrex sitting up, "It, it woke up?"

All Baimu said: "Yes. It just fell into a long slumber, Officer Jenny, how do you intend to deal with this golden coffin?"

"It must be taken away, this is important evidence, and it will be used to determine the sentencing results—"

Officer Jenny's gaze touched Calyrex's calm expression again, becoming a bit helpless, "The Pokémon also has to be taken away, confirming its specific identity later, including how to deal with it, is a troublesome matter."

All Baimu hurriedly asked: "What if it doesn't want to?"

"Doesn't want to?"

Officer Jenny was slightly startled, realizing something, "You have communicated with it? Through telepathy?"

In the Pokémon anime world, the principles of most Pokémon that can talk directly to humans rely on telepathy.

Ordinary people might not know, but Officer Jenny was clearly knowledgeable.

All Baimu nodded and said: "Yes. Its name is Calyrex, it was once the king who ruled the Galar region in ancient times, because the era is too long ago, records are already very, very few. In other words, this is a legendary Pokémon."

"Legendary Pokémon..."

Officer Jenny instantly showed a troubled expression.

In the Pokémon anime world, there is a group of Pokémon that is the most difficult for the Galar League to deal with, extremely legendary Pokémon.

They often possess unimaginable powerful strength, and they all avoid humans, and the attitude of some can't even be called friendly.

Usually, the League adopts the principle of not interfering with them, and it is best if a Trainer can capture them.

Officer Jenny looked directly at Calyrex, her gaze as if looking at a time bomb.

The slightly offensive gaze made the King of Abundance look displeased.

All Baimu quickly waved his hand, attracting attention and saying: "After I talked to it just now, I found that we get along quite well. Why don't I take care of it for the time being, and you can come to me when you need it to come forward, what do you think?"

This kind of thing would definitely not be allowed in his previous life.

He would definitely be scolded.

But Officer Jenny just hesitated and looked at Calyrex, showing a smile she felt was gentle, and said: "Do you agree? If you have your own thoughts, you can talk to me!"

Rude!

Calyrex widened its eyes, and a tic mark appeared on its forehead from anger.

All Baimu also thought it was bad; Officer Jenny didn't take his introduction just now to heart at all, and communicated with Calyrex in the tone of coaxing a child according to habit.

This set is indeed very effective for some Pokémon, but one cannot form a path dependency!

No way.

How could modern people in the Pokémon world have the habit of truly treating Pokémon as kings—

Except for fans of Pokémon Contests and battles.

【Subject! This person is insulting the King!】

Calyrex's telepathy screamed in All Baimu's mind, clearly wanting him to deal with Officer Jenny, but with so many police officers present, how could he dare?

Bah!

It wouldn't work even if there was no one!

All Baimu stood directly in front of the stunned Jenny, first said softly to Calyrex: "Your Majesty, please calm down! This woman is just foolish and doesn't know your prestige! Calm down!"

Then he turned around and said: "Officer Jenny! You can see it too, it was disturbed in its sleep and is very angry, this kind of direct conversation will make it unhappy."

"Is that so?"

Jenny saw All Baimu reaching out in a strange posture, and Calyrex placing its small claws in his palm, its gaze toward her filled with dissatisfaction, and she said confusedly: "It seems I offended it somewhere?"

Because you speak too directly.

He silently complained.

Officer Jenny sighed: "Fine, since it is willing to follow you."

The opinions of Pokémon are mostly adopted; they usually don't exist as the property of a Trainer or someone, and have a certain legal status.

This is completely different from the cats and dogs in his previous life.

While talking.

Two people walked into the banquet hall, one was a middle-aged man with a baseball cap and sunglasses, with a big belly.

The other was a blonde secretary in a white lab coat and a slim dress.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

The middle-aged man waved everywhere like he was on an outing, and his magnetic voice sounded, making many messy sounds smaller in an instant.

"Chairman Rose!"

The Mayor, the prosecutor, and even Officer Jenny hurriedly greeted him.

From Calyrex's angle, it couldn't see, so it asked All Baimu in front of it:

【Subject, who is the person coming?】

"Your Majesty, it is the current King of Galar."

Huh!?

Calyrex was so shocked that its eyelids twitched; it woke up with pitifully little power left, but was about to see the current "King" of Galar.

King meeting King is not a good omen.

It never wants to experience what it encountered before again.

But...

"Leave it to me, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am here."

As if sensing Calyrex's anxiety, All Baimu, whose gaze was always on Rose's side, said softly.

From an angle invisible to the naked eye.

The power flowing toward it became a bit larger.

Calyrex gradually felt at ease.

Humans are not trustworthy.

Believers are trustworthy.

——

After soothing the panicked Mayor of Hammerlocke, and listening to the work reported by the prosecutor and Jenny.

Rose looked at the high platform.

That cold young man standing beside the golden coffin, accompanied by a strange dark green object.

He smiled and stepped forward: "You must be All Baimu, right? Truly a hero among youths! Thanks to your quick wit this time! It almost brought a very bad influence to Galar."

"Chairman!"

Oleana behind him reminded in a low voice: "There is a legendary Pokémon of unknown status in the golden coffin, it is very dangerous."

Rose smiled: "It doesn't matter, hasn't All Baimu already gained its trust? I believe in him!"

Wow!

This damn charm.

The first sentence upon opening his mouth was praise and thanks, followed by an expression of approval.

Being able to put on such a low posture as the League Chairman and President of the Macro Cosmos group, no wonder he can fascinate so many people!

All Baimu's inner emotions churned, but on the surface, he just nodded, "I have long heard of your great name, Chairman Rose. You are too kind, I just said what should be said, the ones who truly worked hard are Officer Jenny and the others."

"Of course! In Galar, no one's achievements will be forgotten, whether they are Galar people or not."

Rose smiled affably, and after getting closer, looked at Calyrex in the coffin, revealing a bit of scrutiny: "Is this Pokémon the legendary Calyrex?"

Calyrex, which had been full of anger due to Jenny's offensive gaze, turned its head directly at this moment.

All Baimu replied: "Yes, it is the King of Abundance who can make flowers bloom and crops harvest by relying on people's faith."

"King of Abundance? Truly magical!"

Rose seemed interested, but his gaze didn't stay on it at all, just said to All Baimu: "Jenny has already told me, since you can gain its trust, then it will be taken care of by you for the time being."

The League Chairman made the final decision!

He didn't expect Rose to agree, so he said: "Thank you for your affirmation, I will definitely take good care of it."

"Hahaha, no need to thank me, thank yourself for being able to gain the favor of a legendary Pokémon!"

Rose smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Keep it up, young man! I am very optimistic about your future!"

After saying that.

This current King of Galar left the scene under everyone's gaze, as if he had just come to inspect.

All Baimu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Calyrex in the coffin, and found that it also seemed to be relaxed.

"Your Majesty, he has already left."

"I know."

Calyrex's body trembled slightly, slowly detached from the coffin and floated up, the flowers and grass under it withered in the blink of an eye, turning into fly ash and disappearing.

Five minutes after waking up.

It can fly!

Congratulations!

Outside the manor.

Rose sat in the car, his fist against his chin, muttering: "King of Abundance... a King of Abundance that relies on faith cannot make Galar last for generations. And that underground royal tomb is clearly a seal..."
