With only one month left before the start of the championship, Luther stopped all battle training and only retained acting practice.
Everyone is very curious about Luther and Kalunai's day and night.
Everyone knew that Kalunai was helping Luther with some training, but when asked about Luther, he would always use various words to excuse him.
They wanted to get a hint from Karuna, but Karuna was very strict and just smiled and told them that after the championship started, they would know what they were training for.
It has to be said that Kalunai actually became his accomplice.
Under the guidance of Kalunai, who has a serious academic background, every elf in Luther's team turned into a drama queen.
Not to mention falling down with just one touch, now with a look from Luther, they can perform a sudden death due to internal injuries, and Luther is very satisfied with this effect.
Luther has entered a state of adjustment and preparation for departure. Acerola has also prepared some protective measures for the elf eggs coming to Sad Tea and is waiting for the departure time to arrive.
Only Shijana is still fighting fiercely with the Thorny Dragon King.
If you include the time when Shijana took a liking to the Thorn Dragon King and wanted to challenge him, nearly four months had passed.
From the cold early spring to the scorching sun at the beginning of summer.
Luther has never asked about the Thorny Dragon King, but he has already entered the final stage of state adjustment, and there is still no movement from Shijana's side, which makes him really unable to bear it.
Taking Acerola with them, and following the instructions of Marili, who had been assisting Shijana before, they soon arrived at a desert island in the territory of Qidao.
Although it is said to be a deserted island, it is actually not very large. It is about the same area as the renovated Qidao Icehouse.
Luther saw Sijana and Thorny Dragon King confronting each other from a distance. The two stared at each other, motionless.
Judging from the scratches on the Thorny Dragon King's body, it can be guessed that Shijana had another battle with the Thorny Dragon King just now, but the dressed bear lying on the ground also told Luther that Shijana failed this time.
"A battle is about being able to face you, and you have to use the opportunity to face him to face you, so that he can gradually recognize you."
Shijana is now using the exact method Luther reminded her before.
Sensing Luther's arrival, the Thorny Dragon King did not turn around and leave. Instead, he looked at Luther the moment Shijana turned around and called "Master", and then...
The Thorny Dragon King stared at the black smoke under Luther's feet, his eyes darting back and forth between Luther and the black smoke.
"Master, why are you here?"
Shijana was a little disappointed. If possible, she really didn't want Luther to see her constant defeats.
"I'm really worried. It's been so long, and the championship is about to start in one month. We'll set off in half a month. We'll have a full plan, and the adjustment time is less than half a month..."
"You say it's almost done every day when you go back, but there's no progress at all. If I don't come and see, do you plan to 'communicate' with the Thorny Dragon King for another quarter?"
Shijana looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
In fact, the Thorny Dragon King has become very familiar with Shijana during this period of time.
And as long as she calls the Thorny Dragon King, the Thorny Dragon King will appear, which proves that he has no strong resistance to her, nor is he angry because she keeps disturbing him.
However, every time she asked the Thorny Dragon King if he wanted to travel with her, the Thorny Dragon King always said nothing.
Although Shijana had long known that this Thorny Dragon King was cold and cold, she didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.
The Spiny Dragon King, who deals with everything with silence, is like a hedgehog, having trouble swallowing.
Shijana's various emotional offensives have no feedback at all.
Knowing that the Thorny Dragon King likes to eat honey, Shijana gave her portion of honey to the Thorny Dragon King.
I thought that the Thorny Dragon King would have some reaction after eating, but after eating, he still had a cold face and no emotional fluctuations could be seen.
The two foreign aids, Manafei and Xiaoyin, were called over to interact with the Thorny Dragon King. As a result, the Thorny Dragon King turned into a mute surrounded by these two elves, and the scene where they played was like a pantomime.
Thorny Dragon King is the only one who is mute.
I don’t know how Manafei and Xiaoyin managed to have such a good time with a mute.
Luther listened silently to Xijana's description, glanced at the Thorny Dragon King not far away, and called out Darkrai.
"Even if the master helps you cheat, and Darkrai can translate for you and make him speak, you will have hope." Luther said, "If he is still silent, then your attempt can come to an end."
Shijana was stunned for a few seconds, and then understood what Luther meant.
Having responded to Shijana's advances with silence for so long, and countless prospects for the future, none of the Thorny Dragon King's heart could make a single ripple. Either the Thorny Dragon King's character is like this, or... the Thorny Dragon King does not recognize the current Shijana.
He was willing to give Shijana a chance to see if she could show what he longed to see in a battle with him, but for so long, it seemed that he hadn't waited for such a thing?
Or maybe the past of the Thorny Dragon King made him full of worries about traveling with humans?
Too many possibilities.
But Luther can't wait so long. The trip to Galar is about to begin. Even if Shijana conquers the Thorny Dragon King, it will take some time for him to integrate into the team. Making the elves in the team get along well is what a trainer must do.
.
If you can't conquer it now, you can only consider this matter after the trip to Galar is over and Shijana has grown significantly.
"Go ahead and say what you want to say, and be sincere." Luther warned, "Elves of this intensity need respect, and what they want to see is sincerity."
The Thorny Dragon King and the sudden appearance of Darkrai looked at each other. The Thorny Dragon King, who had always been calm in ancient times, silently retreated a little because of the appearance of Darkrai.
Shijana's hand suddenly pressed on Darkrai's body. She thought about it again and again, slowly exhaled and walked to the Thorny Dragon King.
"I have spoken a lot to you for so long, but I have never heard what you expressed." Shijana said calmly, "Dakrai is here today, so I can understand you more clearly."
"Do you really have nothing to say to me?" After Shijana asked, she immediately stared into the eyes of the Thorny Dragon King.
The Thorny Dragon King did not respond.
This reaction actually made Shijana feel relaxed. She smiled and said: "In that case, please be an audience and listen to my story."
"The story of a girl who had no vision for the future and only wanted to live a life of food and clothing, and how she grew up to be like this inexplicably."
Shijana began to recall her experience in Meteor Falls.
At that time, she really had no idea about the future and everything was very vague.
In her imagination, her grandma sells tree fruits, and she should also sell tree fruits in the future. It is best to have a shop of her own, so she does not need to be exposed to the sun and rain in the wild, and can watch the elves fighting in the shop in her free time.
Shijana's earliest introduction to elf battles was the passionate battle scenes on advertising screens in the city.
Elves collided with elves, trainers competed with each other, the arena was filled with people, and after the winner was decided, there was a roar of shouts and cheers.
At that time, Shijana was not thinking about becoming a trainer, but looking forward to being a trainer. She felt that the story of them traveling around and then attacking for honor was very inspiring and passionate.
At that time, what Shijana longed for most was to enter the arena and become a salesperson who could sell products in the arena.
Life taught Higana very early on to abandon unattainable dreams and learn to be realistic.
Occasionally, she would see various elves in front of the stalls brought by trainers from all over the country who traveled to Meteor Falls. At this time, as long as she said a word of praise, Shijana would have the opportunity to step forward to observe them carefully and reach out to touch them.
Obtaining Gu Niuniu was a complete accident. This little guy didn't know which poisonous elf he offended, so he hurriedly escaped from the woods, and then fell headlong at the feet of Xijana who was picking fruits.
After healing her wound, Gu Niuniu stayed.
That was Shijana's first elf, but it still didn't ignite Shijana's yearning for the profession of trainer.
She wanted her grandma to spend the rest of her life safely, so she needed a stable job and money.
If there are no accidents, after another two years, Xijana will take over that stall and start her own life of running and closing the stall day after day.
After being called here, Shijana paused. She did not raise her head to look at the Thorny Dragon King. Instead, she organized her words and continued speaking.
However, Luther discovered that there was a hint of tenderness in the eyes of the cold-faced Thorn Dragon King as he looked at Sijana.
Luther appeared in Shijana's memories.
Shijana recalled that afternoon countless times, when she was bagging dried fruits, and then a strange young man stood in front of the stall, lowered his head, pointed at the name of his stall, and read it over and over again.
In order to build her reputation, she just ordered a sign with her name not long ago, and this weirdo actually looked at the sign in a daze?
Shijana is curious about what is easy to pronounce in her name.
Although she used a polite smile to treat guests, Sijana was actually murmuring in her heart at that time, and she didn't understand Luther's purpose.
Until the moment when he revealed his identity and invited Shijana.
The Thorny Dragon King raised his head and glanced at Luther.
Shijana went to buy lottery tickets during the New Year in order to celebrate.
The winning amount of the New Year lottery ticket is enough to change Sijana's life. The period between buying lottery tickets and before the lottery is the happiest time for Sijana.
The feeling of holding onto something gave Shijana a glimmer of hope in her stagnant life.
Although the hope of this change will disappear after the lottery numbers are announced, Shijana is enjoying it.
The probability of winning the lottery is pitifully low. Fengyuan is so big, the world is so vast, and luck is so elusive. How can you only favor yourself?
Shijana's understanding of good luck is that when picking tree fruits, she can find tree fruits that wild elves don't need. This small harvest can make her happy for a long time.
Or occasionally I would drink a drink with my grandma, and when I opened the lid, there would be a message on the back saying "Let's have another bottle."
This kind of luck in a quiet life would add a lot of beauty to Shijana. As for greater luck... she has not imagined it yet.
It is precisely because of this that the moment Luther sent out the invitation, Sijana chose to refuse it for the second time.
Shijana laughed.
Luther also laughed. He still remembered his embarrassment when he was rejected. Shijana really didn't play her cards according to common sense.
Shijana knew that Luther could change her life and she should follow him, but she couldn't let go of her grandmother.
Hearing this, the Thorny Dragon King had a smile on his face. It was very light, very shallow, but it was the first time in such a long time that he showed his inner emotions in front of Shijana.
It's a pity that Shijana didn't raise her head to see the big guy's expression at this moment.
Luther decided to support her and her grandmother, and Sijana felt like a light shining on her all of a sudden.
At the same time, her future changed.
She worked hard to seize this opportunity that seemed to be given by God, and eagerly learned everything... not everything, there were some difficult knowledge, and she once wanted to escape.
But when she thought of the support Luther gave her, she shouldn't slack off.
Qidao gave her a new life, and everything that happened when she came here was like a dream. Only when Shijana looked at the increasing number of partners in her team and felt herself getting stronger gradually, did she have a real sense of it.
Sleep on the belly of a bear, pinch and play with Gu Niuniu's ears, tap the scales of an armored dragon with your fingers to listen to the sound, hold Nidoking's tail and make a gesture to pull him.
These beautiful memories that happened on the island made the Thorn Dragon King's tall head lower slightly.
"I want to become stronger." Shijana no longer lowered her head to recall, but raised her head to stare at the Thorny Dragon King. "I want to surpass the master and others on the island and become the strongest trainer."
"I haven't officially started traveling yet. Master said that the world is very big and he only traveled so far and had so many unforgettable experiences."
"I want to go further and further than Master, and I want to see more things."
"I need companions, strong companions." Shijana said with a smile, "I want to keep getting stronger with them so that I can have enough strength to complete these dreams."
"I didn't dare to have a dream before, but now I have it, so I will use all my strength to realize it... Otherwise, how can I be worthy of Master and the seniors who have always taught me."
"Stinging Dragon King, I don't know why you have been silent. Are you disappointed in me, deep in thought, or just have no feelings for me and just want to tease me."
"It doesn't matter. I just said what I wanted to say today. You can laugh at my lack of strength and amazingly big dreams. You can also laugh at my embarrassing attitude in challenging you during this period..."
Shijana clenched her fist confidently: "But no matter what, I will do it one day."
Luther secretly applauded Shijana.
Shijana has the self-confidence that she lacked when she first started traveling. She is so high-spirited, energetic, and dazzlingly charming.
After listening to Shijana's words, the Thorny Dragon King said his first words in a long time.
"I don't like humans." Thorny Dragon King said, "But I don't hate you."
