Chapter 741: Mountain Guard
Mountain Guardian, this is a brand, a not very well-known one, but it is a brand that can be found by searching for the highest-priced mountain delicacies. This brand is very rare and rarely seen. It mainly sells various top mountain delicacies. Some of the top mountain products in the Pokémon world come from Mountain Guardian. However, this brand is currently basically under the control of the Alliance. After all, it makes huge profits, and it is also because of the story behind it.
"Mountain Keeper... this thing is hard to buy. You can't buy it even if you have money." Heath smacked his lips. As a chef, Heath had some knowledge of various ingredients, and Heath was envious of many of the mountain products in the Mountain Keeper. The Lingzhu wood ear unique to the Pokémon world was one of them. It was obviously wood ear, but it was very nutritious and tasted extremely delicious. Heath felt that this was a delicacy that could be listed in the food atlas, but it was too difficult to obtain. This kind of wood ear was different from other wood ears. It looked like wood ear, but the color was like jade, which was very beautiful.
"Hehe, my grandma gave it to me." Shirona smiled embarrassedly, and Heath did not expose her. This thing is not something that ordinary people can have, just like some special teas in China in the previous life. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money, and they don't even know that there is such tea. Although the brand of Guardian is well-known, it is also a precious mountain product of this type. Shirona probably got it because of the benefits of the league champion. The league has very good benefits for champions and top trainers such as the Four Heavenly Kings. Guardian is rare for others, but for Shirona, it is an item sent by the league.
However, Heath did not expose it, but accepted it with a smile. This gift was really good for Heath. Heath really wanted the mountain delicacies from the Mountain Keeper brand, so it was a good thing to be able to get them.
"Eh? Is this brand well-known?" Zoroark came over curiously.
"It's not very well-known, it's just a story..." Heath shook his head. Mountain Guardian has never advertised since its establishment, but it has never worried about sales . The alliance's control has made the Mountain Guardian brand priceless, but it has never been listed on the stock market.
Mountain Guardians, this is a story and also a brand, but originally they were a group of people, a group of people who were admired by countless people and made the Alliance decide to erect a monument for them. That was a long time ago, and Heath only heard about this from Sister Ling, who had the most profound knowledge.
The Alliance at that time was just established in a state of confusion, and there were many things to do. Tianguan Mountain at that time was still a forbidden zone for many people. After all, it was at a high altitude and had a harsh climate, and it was easy to die of hypothermia. However, Tianguan Mountain was also a very important place, so the leader of the Alliance at that time arranged a small team to go up there, including Junsha, Joey, trainers and other logistics personnel, a total of 137 people. Although not a lot, but at that time it was already a lot of people squeezed out of a sponge by squeezing it again and again.
Normally, there should have been a rotation, but the bad thing was that an earthquake occurred near Tianguan Mountain, which triggered a large avalanche, and the officer in charge of liaison also disappeared. The Alliance searched but found no signs of life, so they posthumously named them martyrs.
The story should end here, but the children of those martyrs who were said to be missing, or whose bodies could not be found, went to Tianguan Mountain one after another, generation after generation, until now. A Pokémon Center and a medical station have even been built on Tianguan Mountain to provide assistance to travelers in need. They did not ask for money or fame, but just persisted silently. Therefore, this spirit has become a cultural symbol, a heritage, and they have become mountain keepers.
“…The mountain guards have been passed down to the present day. Three hundred and seventy people have died on Tianguan Mountain, and two hundred and twenty-eight people are missing. They have been passed down from generation to generation. The old ones have died on the mountain, and the young ones continue to fight on it, without any regrets.” Heath sighed. Such pure people are too rare. Heath felt that he could not do it. These mountain guards said that because of a promise and oath made by their fathers, they swear to protect Tianguan Mountain until death, so they have persisted until now.
Pokémon Zoroark was stunned. When she heard her trainer say this just now, she thought this was a story, a very touching story. But looking at it now, it seems that her trainer is talking about this matter seriously?
"Yes, the last remake of the movie won the Pokémon Fantasy Gold Award." Sirona nodded seriously, and Zoroark blinked. So this is true? Is there really someone who is so persistent that he has persisted until now?
Zoroark felt that even novels would not dare to write such an outrageous story. It was too outrageous. Such an outrageous story was actually true, which was even more outrageous. However, after knowing that it was true, Zoroark also had some respect for those people. He felt that he could not do such a thing. It was too difficult, really too difficult. So many people persisted for such a long time. What kind of spirit was this?
"Thank you, Sirona. These things in this... are not available on the market." Heath smacked his lips. The Psyduck Chamber of Commerce had a New Year gift box, which contained this Mountain Guardian, but it was limited to one and was obtained through a lottery. However, this alone caused the sales of the New Year gift box to skyrocket, but no one still won the gift box. Heath also bought it, but he didn't win it either. The probability was too low.
A Lingzhu wood ear, some well-known wild mushrooms, and a kind of white jade vegetable that has been protected by the alliance. The prices of these things are very high. The alliance is cultivating this white jade vegetable, but the current cultivation effect is not very good, and only a few can be produced a year.
"I'm glad you like it~" Sirona was very happy. As long as Heath liked it, it would be good. Fortunately, she thought that Heath was a troublemaker and thought that Heath should like this thing, so she specially selected it.
"It's a pity that my dining car is still being upgraded. After the upgrade is completed, I will make you a delicious meal." Heath patted his chest and abdomen confidently. He planned to see if his food atlas included these delicacies. Heath thought it should be included.
But now, it is more important to watch a movie with Shirona. Heath plans to watch a movie and have a meal with Shirona. After all, this is also a formal date, right?
