It was nearly ten o'clock when we returned to Fenglai City.
In fact, it wouldn't take much time to return to Hola City at this point, but Xia Chen decided to stay here for one night based on the principle of "come and come".
I called Gulton, who was waiting at home, and told me that I couldn't go back until tomorrow, but the guy said something like, "Vulcan Moth will be sad if he hasn't eaten your cooking for so long."
Xia Chen felt funny for a while.
For Vulcan Moth, even if he doesn't eat for a whole night, it's just a matter of closing and opening his eyes. He can't say who is the greedy one.
Anyway, after Xia Chen agreed, "Go back the next day and make a dish with at least half of the pepper content," Gu Lerton hung up the phone with satisfaction.
The tourism industry in Fenglai City is very developed, and it is not difficult to find accommodation at night.
Xia Chen didn't have much choice. Following Rotom's navigation, he finally stayed in an Alola B&B style place.
The store owner is a local Alola mother-in-law who raises a flock of flowers, dancing birds and sweet bamboos. She is friendly and loves to tell half-hearted jokes.
Of course, the reason for the friendly display may be that Xia Chen booked all the remaining vacant rooms for her without even negotiating the price.
Xia Chen originally wanted to ask her mother-in-law about the overlord elves of Fenglin Mountain, but the old man went to bed early, and before Xia Chen could bring the topic to that point, her mother-in-law yawned.
She apologized and said she would go back to her room to sleep first, and then asked a fire-spotted cat to come over and spend time with Xia Chen.
Before leaving, she said: "Don't look at this guy like this, he is the most popular little guy here."
"Like this" naturally refers to the common bad character among most cat elves - it will run away when you get close to it, and will take the initiative to get close to you when you ignore it.
This fire-spotted cat is a green tea cat who knows this well.
How could Xia Chen, a senior cat groomer, follow its path? He just held the fairy cloth in the courtyard and admired the moonlight for a while while ignoring it. The little guy who was unwilling to be lonely cursed and held the cat's paws.
Little by little closer.
The final ending was no surprise - the cute little kitten was lying in Xia Chen's arms, enjoying the excellent chin scratching massage, making a comfortable "purring" sound.
"It's so cute, fire-spotted cat, why did it evolve like that in the end..."
Xia Chen lowered his head and looked at Huoban Miao, who showed his belly like a burning cloud towards him, and thought of his brother Guihu in his final evolved form, so he complained in a low voice.
"Mewbi?"
The fire-spotted cat was so immersed in Xia Chen's superb cat licking skills that she couldn't hear Xia Chen's words clearly for a while.
"It's nothing. I compliment you on how cute you are."
Xia Chen smiled and suddenly asked: "By the way, Fire Spot, do you know who the overlord elf on this volcano is?"
Although this fire-spotted cat looks young, it is at least an elf living at the foot of the mountain, and may have some understanding of the legendary overlord elf.
…………
"By the way, you can just say it, I understand the language of elves."
"Nyabi——"
The fire-spotted cat's face froze, and he understands Elvish... Doesn't that mean that he listened to what I just scolded him?
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Xia Chen seemed to have read Huobanmao's mind, and sighed with a sigh on his face: "I didn't do anything, I just got scolded because of the language barrier... It doesn't matter."
These words made the fire spot cat even more ashamed. After thinking about it, it decided to tell Xia Chen the information it knew as an apology.
"Meowbi...(The overlord elf here is a mysterious guy. Because it is so fast, almost no one has seen its appearance. Anyway...it is a bad elf!)"
Fire Spot Meow said this.
"Bad elf? What bad things has he done?"
Xia Chen was a little confused.
The fire-spotted cat said angrily: "Miaobi——(Grandma Agatha's tree orchard was burned down by it. It was still late at night. If grandma's armored warrior hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Not only Grandma Agatha, but
It’s the same in several other places, and we obviously haven’t provoked it!)”
The burned orchard... Xia Chen had some impression of this. He had seen it before going up the mountain.
I thought it was a mountain fire, but didn't expect an elf arsonist?
Xia Chen frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Although there are many bad guys among the wild elves, and it can even be said that a considerable number of wild elves do not have a good impression of humans, he has an intuition that the overlord elves on the volcano are definitely not that kind of guy.
If you have to say the reason, it is its younger brothers.
The slow and gentle old dragon, and the other elves who tried their best to protect it but did not unleash any ill will on themselves.
Xia Chen always felt that the leader of these elves would not be an elf with unreasonable hostility towards humans.
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
Xia Chen asked.
The fire-spotted cat shook his head, "Meow! (How is it possible, so many people and elves saw it escaping from the fire with their own eyes! It's definitely that guy!)"
Xia Chen shrugged noncommittally. After all, seeing is not believing. It was just Huoban Miao, or the one-sided words of the city residents, which he could not completely believe.
He once watched a movie called "The Green Mile". The story was very simple. A tall, vicious-looking black man was misunderstood as a murderer who killed two little girls and was imprisoned.
But in fact, underneath his devilish appearance is the kindest angel's heart.
The real situation is that he wanted to save the two little girls, but no one believed it. People only believe what they want to believe.
Perhaps this overlord elf also encountered the same situation?
Xia Chen thought thoughtfully.
…………
After chatting with Huobanmao and playing with it for a while, Xia Chen went back to the house to sleep.
The B&B has no entertainment facilities, and even the TV looks like it was from more than ten years ago, but it is clean and tidy and feels like home.
Before going to bed, he suddenly came up with the idea, "Maybe it would be good to go hiking tomorrow to watch the sunrise."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let Rotom set the wake-up alarm to five o'clock, and Xia Chen fell into a deep sleep soon.
A night of silence.
The next morning, or more appropriately in the early hours of the morning, when it was still dark, Xia Chen got up.
Because he had the idea of getting up to watch the sunrise before going to bed, he would be able to wake up naturally when the time comes. Xia Chen is a person with this magical ability.
"Rotom, what time is it?"
he asked.
Rotom didn't respond and seemed to be still sleeping.
Although he is an electronic ghost, Rotom magically needs sleep.
Xia Chen had no choice but to fumble for his phone. The screen lit up, and in the background was a group photo of the Donghuang Conference champions. The time was less than five o'clock.
Then it was Rotom's eyes that opened. Apparently, because Xia Chen turned on his phone, this guy was forced to turn it on.
"Sorry Lotto! I forgot to wake you up Lotto!"
Rotom thought it was because he had slept with him, so he kept apologizing.
As Xia Chen got up and washed himself, he explained: "No, I got up first. You go and wake up the other elves."
"Okay Lotto!"
Rotom responded hurriedly, then flew out of the room and called the other elves.
At five o'clock, in a big city like Donghuang and Shangjing Nandu, some hardworking workers were already getting ready to go to work.
But this is leisurely Alola, and everything is lonely at this time.
Since he couldn't buy breakfast, Xia Chen was embarrassed to cook here - it would be bad if he woke up his mother-in-law.
After stuffing a note explaining the situation into Huobanmao's cat nest, Xia Chen flew towards the top of the volcano on Doron Baruto.
This guy's speed is much faster than that of Menas, but the riding experience is really incomparable, but fortunately it's not intolerable.
After swaying for a while, Xia Chen arrived at the volcano cave at the top of the mountain.
There has been no eruption for hundreds of years, and it has become a lake with a beautiful ecological environment, a bit like the Changbai Mountain Tianchi in Donghuang, but not as beautiful and far less vast than there.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking towards the distance, you can clearly see the gray line between the sea and the sky.
What a great place to watch the sunrise.
Xia Chen admired in his heart while taking out the multi-functional stove that had accompanied him on his journey for several years.
Speaking of which, the quality of this thing is really good. If you take good care of it, it might live longer than its inventor, Fradali?
Hmm...the latter's life is always in his forties, so there must be a chance for Zaozuo.
Miss you, Lao... Fradali.
…………
While appreciating the freshly baked hell jokes, Xia Chen led the elves to get some fresh ingredients for breakfast.
Fungi, fish in lakes, tree fruits, wild vegetables...
In this place that is rarely disturbed by human activities, there are treasures everywhere.
In the process of searching, you will inevitably encounter the wild elves living here. They can sense the powerful aura of the Xiachen elves, and they may look at them with curiosity or worry.
From time to time, a few elves would whisper to each other for a while, and then run towards a hidden place in the southwest corner of the top of the mountain.
Among Xia Chen's elves, there are no bad guys who take pleasure in bullying the weak. Even the naughty Dragon Baruto has a certain temper when teasing wild elves.
However, Senbu and the others did not take the initiative to attack, and these wild elves would not ask for trouble, so the scene was relatively harmonious and controllable for a while.
The dawn before dawn was still silent. After a while, smoke rose from the top of the mountain, and almost at the same time, the bright golden dawn suddenly appeared on the sea level.
"Sure enough, getting up early to watch the sunrise is the right choice."
Xia Chen filled a bowl of steaming, delicious mushroom soup and handed it to Gardevoir, who was a bit disturbed by the cold.
The altitude of the top of the mountain is relatively high, it is still early in the morning, and even though it is in the tropical Alola region, it is a bit cold.
Dianxi on the side looked envious and coquettishly asked Xia Chen to help her fill a bowl.
As a trainer who has experienced both rain and dew, Xia Chen naturally responded.
The breakfast was rich and full of game. The mushroom soup warmed the stomach. The remaining portion was used to make the soup base for grilled fish, and a layer of wild vegetables was spread underneath.
Accompanied by a huge red sun slowly rising in the sky, all the elves ate this breakfast very happily.
Although there were a lot of white dishes for breakfast, everyone did not lie down after eating. The most basic thing for a good chef is food safety.
After eating, Xia Chen picked some fresh mushrooms and planned to take them back to Guluton and Vulcan Moth who were not here to taste them.
After doing all this, the sun had completely hung in the sky, and it was almost eight o'clock in the morning.
Then, the next thing to solve is another matter.
Xia Chen looked at a hidden cave in the southwest corner of the mountain top. The overlord elf's habitat should be there, right?
Naturally, he came here not just to watch the sunrise, but he also forgot about the unfinished business last night - looking for the overlord elf.
Based on his observations throughout the morning and the detection of the power of the waveguide, he was able to determine that the Overlord Elf was there.
…………
It is said to be a cave, but from the rather regular entrance, it looks like a "stone house" made by elves.
It's just hidden deep in the bushes and is extremely inconspicuous. If it weren't for the detection of the waveguide, Xia Chen would never have found it.
The power of the wave guide could sense that there was an elf with an unknown aura living in the stone house, which meant that its strength was definitely far superior to Xia Chen.
Don't underestimate this line, he is now at least as strong as a gym-level elf. In other words, the mysterious overlord elf is at least the king level, and most likely more than that.
This solidified Xia Chen's feeling that it was wrongly accused——
Most of the powerful wild elves don't have very good tempers. If they are really bad, they don't have to flee after setting fire and are discovered. They can just continue to cause chaos. Anyway, it is basically impossible for a small windy city to stop it.
It comes and goes.
So what is the reason why it is unwilling to explain or even show up?
Xia Chen had some vague guesses in his mind, but he needed to see the elf to be sure.
When he was still dozens of meters away from the stone house, Xia Chen stopped and politely shouted over there: "Hello, I want to meet you, is it okay?"
If you are interacting with humans, just walk over and knock on the door, but most wild elves need sufficient distance to maintain their sense of security, so Xia Chen greeted it here.
Two seconds passed and there was no response.
The aura of the elf is still inside, indicating that it has not left.
Xia Chen took another step closer and said, "I heard some rumors about you at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to know what they are?"
Still no answer.
Xia Chen didn't care whether it was listening or not, he asked and answered himself: "They said you were the murderer of those arson attacks, and they said you were a bad elf, but I don't think so."
"You were wronged, right?"
The breath sensed by the power of the waveguide finally fluctuated, which was a complex emotional fluctuation.
Was he right?
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, continued to walk forward slowly, and said sincerely: "I can help you clarify this misunderstanding. If you don't object, I will continue to move forward?"
The silence this time represents acquiescence.
Xia Chen no longer hesitated, pushed aside the dense and scattered shrubs, and stepped into the stone house.
"I'm coming in."
This sentence is the final declaration.
And when Xia Chen saw the furry elf in the stone house with a somewhat wary expression, he was surprised and lost his mind——
It was an elf that he had not expected at all, Zeraora.
No... to be precise, it's a heterochromatic Zeraora!
