Chapter 4233 The so-called dark night
"."
Sonia kept her head down, her expression fluctuating, still processing the information she had just heard.
Beside him, Dr. Mulan's brows remained furrowed.
That's why, when Xiaozhi suddenly contacted her a few days ago to talk about Rose, she had a bad feeling.
Adding to the "secret" the two just mentioned, and considering Loz's fanatical to the point of obsession,
It's entirely possible!
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but speak up, breaking the silence:
"Professor Mulan, do you mean that President Rose will summon a giant dragon Pokémon because of energy issues?"
Energy and dragons —
These two things seem completely unrelated, don't they?
Dr. Mulan shook her head:
"They are not completely unrelated."
“In the ancient Galilee region, about a thousand years ago, there was a phenomenon called Dark Night.”
"what?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sonia suddenly looked up.
She stood up abruptly, her eyes wide open:
"Wait a minute, Grandma! You knew about An Ye all along?!"
His tone was shocked, and even a little aggrieved and resentful.
You should know that in order to research the true history of Galar, she has traveled to almost every town and city over the past few years, and she is so tired that she has become an electric dog.
Ancient ruins, broken murals, and scattered legends all require her to piece them together one by one and verify them bit by bit.
Finally, they managed to arrive at the shocking conclusion that "dark nights once occurred in ancient times"!
She thought she was the only one who knew.
So, it turns out that his grandmother already knew all along?
Sonia's chest heaved, and she couldn't help but complain:
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Dr. Mulan smiled instead and patiently explained:
"You'll remember things better if you find the evidence yourself and deduce the conclusions."
"And if I had told you from the beginning, you probably would have just taken it as a fairy tale I told you, right?"
Sonia was stunned, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak for a moment.
In the end, he could only grumble and sit down again.
"Dark Night? What's that?"
Ash couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
This was the first time he had ever heard of this word.
This time, Sonia seemed to have found her niche and immediately chimed in:
"Ash, didn't I mention this to you before? In the ancient Galar region, a regional catastrophe occurred."
"And that great catastrophe seems to have a specific name: Dark Night."
闇 (an, fourth tone) describes a dark and chaotic sky.
However, it also involves a giant dragon Pokémon?
This was her area of ignorance, and Sonia looked at her grandmother with a blank expression.
Dr. Mulan picked up the conversation, her expression becoming much more serious, and explained:
"That legendary dragon is said to be a dangerous being that surpasses even the level of ancient gods."
"Once it appears, it will act like a black hole, relentlessly plundering all the energy and resources around it. It is said to be related to the Dynamax phenomenon in the Galar region."
Dr. Mulan didn't use any exaggerated tone; the content itself was unsettling enough.
"Later, just like the history Sonia found out—" "The human king, together with the two wolf-shaped ancient gods that already existed in the Galar region, defeated the dragon and sealed this dangerous 'black hole'."
This part of history is quite similar to the fairy tales of heroes fighting dragons that have been circulating in the Galar region.
Upon hearing this, Sonia's face darkened even further.
It turns out my grandma really does know everything!
Dr. Mulan smiled helplessly. These historical legends were also discovered by her and Chairman Loz back then, but the latter was clearly more concerned about them than she was.
As for the paper submitted by Sonia, Lóz didn't even need to look at it to know that it was genuine.
Sonia: "."
The way you're doing this makes it seem like my PhD was inherited from my family!
On the other side, Ash and Yu looked surprised.
The Galar region also has a magnificent and epic legend in its past.
"But isn't that a contradiction?"
Xiaoyou suddenly noticed the blind spot and spoke up.
"If Chairman Loz's starting point is truly for the future of Galar, and let's assume his plan is feasible."
"But the target he ultimately wants to summon is a black hole?"
Her logic was straightforward: wouldn't all the energy be consumed and plundered by the black hole?
Instead of solving the problem, isn't this accelerating energy depletion?
Dr. Mulan smiled and shook her head:
"With our current level of human technology, we are still unable to fully explain the nature of 'black holes'."
"On the surface, black holes do indeed appear to devour and plunder everything, even light."
"But what if we look at it from a different angle?"
Isn't a black hole a huge storage room that has absorbed enormous amounts of energy?
This idea is extreme.
That was also Lorz's idea.
That enormous dragon that roamed the skies above Galar a thousand years ago, though it stole Galar's energy...
What if we could control this dragon?
Wouldn't that allow us to extract the energy from the latter's body and use it for Galer's purposes?
Crisis can also be an opportunity.
By then, not only will the energy supply be depleted, but the energy problem in the Galar region will be solved once and for all!
This crazy idea was something Loz had mentioned to her back then, wanting to try it out—
However, this is clearly beyond the scope of what humans can control at this stage, and if we are not careful, it could even lead to a greater crisis.
Therefore, she had already made it clear at the time that she did not support the plan.
"At the time, Lorz shook his head in frustration and simply brushed the matter aside, indicating that he hadn't said anything."
Dr. Mulan adjusted her glasses, her gaze sharpening:
"However, it seems that Lóz had already memorized the plan back then."
If given the opportunity, it will definitely be implemented.
It's even possible that they've been secretly preparing to take action ever since.
As for the specifics of how to implement it, she had no idea, and it was unlikely that Lorz would tell her.
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyou leaned back in their chairs in perfect unison, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Whoosh—" "Whoosh—"
I definitely asked the right person today!
Xiao You's brows relaxed. After Dr. Mulan's explanation, everything she saw in her dream made sense.
In the dream, Guild Master Rose actually succeeded in summoning a skeletal dragon with the properties of a black hole.
However, things started going wrong as soon as it was summoned.
Ash's expression also became complicated.
Admittedly, President Lorz is a good person.
But now this good person is in more danger than anyone else!
Even the ancient gods struggled to fully control it, let alone this seemingly even more dangerous dragon. (End of Chapter)
