Trainers returning from the Kingdom of Roc

Chapter 46: [The Old Suitcase]

brush--!

A violent, distorted sensation suddenly struck.

It felt as if his body had been forcibly shoved into some kind of narrow tube and then sprang out. Accompanied by a brief feeling of weightlessness and a dizzying sensation, Hou Hao felt the light and shadows in front of him flowing wildly.

The next moment, a heavy impact struck.

"Ouch!"

The two of them crashed onto the damp, soft sand one after the other.

Luo Yan was alright; he was prepared and landed steadily on the ground. Hou Hao, on the other hand, fell headfirst into the sand. Fortunately, the fall wasn't high, and he was fine except for swallowing a few mouthfuls of sand.

The scorching air and the volcanic ash that filled the sky disappeared completely, replaced by a moist sea breeze that filled the nostrils and rain that dripped continuously from the skin.

Hou Hao took a deep breath of the moist air and immediately felt that his breathing was much smoother, as if he had come back to life. He looked around and at the dark clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"We're back? We're back! We're really back!"

The sky was just as dark, but this time the two of them didn't smell the pungent sulfur; instead, they felt a light drizzle. Not far behind them was the path they had once walked leading to the Black Forest.

Beside him, Luo Yan, exhausted, plopped down on the beach. His face was slightly pale, and a feeling of fatigue kept assaulting his mind.

As expected, it was still too much of a strain to use magic beyond the limits of his current human body.

Looking down at the wooden wand in his hand, Luo Yan slowly narrowed his eyes.

It seems that besides training my Pokémon, I should also summon some "divine gear" to help me. Otherwise, if I encounter something like this again, it will probably be quite troublesome.

In the world of the Kingdom of Roc, besides using magic and wands, there are many things that can resonate with magic. If such things are made into clothes, they can greatly enhance a wizard's control over magic and increase the power of magic.

However, using these items is not that simple; the corresponding clothing also needs to resonate with the corresponding spirit.

For example, there's the "Royal Griffin Impression" for the Royal Griffin, the "Sonic Hound Impression" for the Sonic Hound, and a series of outfits sold in Pikachu's monthly magazine, such as the "Reunion Waltz Series," the "Wilderness Expedition Series," and the "Alchemy Potion Series."

Each outfit corresponds to a spirit, and the most powerful magical resonance can only be unleashed when both are present and the [Magnificent Emblem] is activated.

But now is not the time to use these things. Luo Yan breathed slightly, while also observing the surrounding movements. "Monkey, keep your voice down, the danger isn't over yet."

Upon hearing Luo Yan's words, Hou Hao immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, they did return, but that only means they survived the volcanic eruption. There are more than just the two of them on Black Cloud Island right now; the members of the Church of Descent who inexplicably opened the secret passage have not yet shown up.

Hou Hao frowned slightly, his mind racing. "Under normal circumstances, those cultists should still be in the Black Forest. We're on the beach, so there's a high chance they won't find us."

"That's right, but we can't guarantee it 100%." ​​Luo Yan nodded.

The beach was too wide and lacked cover. They were too easily spotted standing there. If the cultists noticed them, it would likely lead to another fierce battle.

"So what do we do next?" Hou Hao squatted down in front of Luo Yan. "This is Black Cloud Island, and it's raining. My Mosquito Coil Frog can't carry us across the sea."

"Idiot, who said we needed your mosquito coil frog to take us around?" Luo Yan took off his backpack and then took out a device that looked like a remote control—an alarm device they had obtained from the Alliance security inspectors before setting sail.

If you encounter danger in the wild, you can turn on the distress signal, and the Alliance's rescue personnel will arrive at the location of the signal as quickly as possible to carry out a rescue.

"I never thought I'd need this stuff one day." Hou Hao smiled with a complicated expression, then looked at Luo Yan. "But Brother Luo, if I remember correctly, that uncle said the rescue team would take at least half an hour. Shouldn't we find somewhere to hide first?"

"We should find a place to hide."

Luo Yan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

God knows where those cultists are right now, and it's been raining here, and it's getting heavier. They can't possibly be standing here in the rain for half an hour.

Hou Hao's words served as a reminder to him, and soon, Luo Yan thought of a wonderful treasure.

With her eyes slightly closed, looking at the wishing star needed to summon that thing, Luo Yan couldn't help but twitch her lips.

That's really expensive.

If I were to summon that thing, I would truly be penniless.

However, there's a reason why it's expensive.

Right now, that thing is really helpful, and it will be useful often in the future.

With that thought in mind, Luo Yan no longer hesitated and used all the remaining Wishing Stars to summon that thing into his assault pack.

He then unzipped the bag and showed the contents inside.

"Brother Luo, why did you put a small suitcase in your bag?" Hou Hao stared in disbelief as Luo Yan pulled a small suitcase, about the size of a briefcase, from his large backpack. "What's going on here?"

"You don't understand, it's no exaggeration to call this a divine artifact." Luo Yan took it out and gently stroked the creases on the small leather suitcase.

Hou Hao couldn't understand why Luo Yan had such feelings for this old object.

"What kind of magical artifact could this old leather suitcase contain?"

"Hmph."

Luo Yan didn't explain, but instead opened the old leather suitcase directly.

The next moment, under Hou Hao's gaze that looked at him like he was God, he walked directly into the old leather suitcase.

Yes, he went inside.

A living person walked directly into that small box.

[Old leather suitcase]

This thing also has another, more famous name.

【Research Lab in a Box】

This thing was created by a group of great researchers in the Kingdom of Locke. On the surface, it is an old leather suitcase, but inside there is a whole different world. The inside of the suitcase is connected to a huge space, which can be called a "small secret realm" in a sense.

The space inside the old leather suitcase in Luo Yan's hand wasn't very large, only about the size of an average 80-square-meter house.

In addition, this old suitcase has a strange ability to teleport randomly.

However, Luo Yan dared not use it casually. If he was randomly teleported to Jiangcheng, that would be fine, but if he was teleported abroad, that would be quite a mess.

Luo Yan spent quite a few Wishing Stars to get this thing back then.

Unexpectedly, summoning this thing into this world requires a considerable number of Wishing Stars.
