1183. When the wedding preparations are in progress
The term "bachelor class enemy" really surprised Luther.
Luther has actually had no real sense of being in love for a long time. His relationship with Mai was dull when it should be dull, and passionate when it should be passionate.
The two of them have a good sense of scale and will not make a fuss about it in front of everyone on the island and cause public outrage.
As for those inadvertent dog food behaviors, such as Luther tying Mai's hair and Mai feeding Luther, these are already dramas that everyone is not surprised by.
Now everyone in Qidao would feel uneasy unless they could see Luther kissing Mai in public.
The person on the island who was most dissatisfied with the slow progress of Luther and Mai was probably Gray Stone, so he felt like he was getting a boost after getting the wedding preparation list provided by Aoi.
"Is it about to start?"
Excited, he asked Akui repeatedly.
The fire goose next to Akui blew a bubble and said, "Luther said before he went to Galar that there would be a wedding this year. What do you think, old man?"
"There are less than five months left in this year, so Mira urged us to quickly list the things we should buy and implement them first, so as not to be in a hurry later."
Huo Yan is now the nominal housekeeper of Qidao. She thinks Mira's reminder is a transgression.
"Humph, as long as I don't leave for a day, you won't be able to become a regular employee."
But...she had to admit that what Mira said made sense.
This tangled feeling is really annoying!
The items to be purchased were complex and required absolutely high quality, so Huo Yan gave up on placing orders and decided to inspect the goods in person before placing an order.
According to another explanation from Mira, the reason why Kaluna took half a year off to come to Qidao was because the Miare Conference in Carlos will be held next year, so she had nothing to do this year.
The second point is that Luther's wedding date is approaching.
Now that it has been confirmed that it will be this year, her work schedule will be completely over in September, and the entire team will begin to take vacation.
After all, Akui came from a gardening family, so when reviewing the purchase list, she suddenly asked curiously.
"How many wedding invitations should be sent, to whom and in what form?"
Huo Yan was stunned. This was obviously not an issue that she could help consider. The people who could make the decision were Mai and Luther.
So just after Oleander "furiously accused" Luther of being a bachelor's enemy, Huo Yan appeared next to Luther and asked him this question directly.
The distribution of wedding invitations is the signal for the announcement of the wedding to begin.
Regarding the three issues of how many wedding invitations to send, to whom, and in what form, Qidao's approach will make everyone who looks at Qidao feel the power of Qidao.
Now that all the governance power of Qidao will be owned by Luther and Mai, this will be the first time that Qidao takes the initiative to show its influence, so every link should be taken seriously.
Luther, who originally returned to lazy mode, waiting for the arrival of the Phoenix King, fell into deep thought because of Huo Yan's words, and turned to discuss with Mai.
"No one is invited except for relatives and friends?" Mai's suggestion was not approved by Luther.
Mai rubbed Luther's shoulders and said, "By the way, let's invite people from the alliance to participate too?"
Luther still didn't respond. Mai rubbed her hands, sat on Luther's lap, held his face, and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about? I told you several plans, but you didn't say anything."
Luther said: "When we were in Galar, Roz told me that it was best to make some of his methods obvious. Being too low-key will only make the ambitious people in the Sinnoh Alliance ready to take action."
"Their actions will make things difficult for those senior officials of the Sinnoh Alliance who support us."
"I think what he said makes sense. Qidao has kept a low profile for so long. It's time to reveal some of his strength."
Mai was stunned for a while, then she asked: "Are you going to...invite the top group of people from the Sinnoh region?"
Luther smiled and held her hand and said, "There can be more."
Mai hesitated for a while, then asked: "Allow their family members to come together?"
"Still a bit conservative."
Mai looked at Luther's smile and her eyes suddenly widened.
"You want to invite the media, not just from the Sinnoh region, but also from other regions?"
Qidao is not very friendly to the media because during the early construction process of Qidao, very disgusting paparazzi sneaked into Qidao, forcing Qidao to build a huge defense system.
Champions do not like their private lives outside of work to be exposed on camera, so the entire island has only been open to the media a limited number of times.
Luther kissed Mai's cheek suddenly and said with a smile: "Yes, I will selectively send the invitations to this group of people so that they can witness the wedding and show the power of Qidao."
"I want their longing for Qidao to be completely shattered, leaving only the unwillingness to hope for but not get."
Mai asked with some concern: "What about Adek, Adua and the others being active on Qidao..."
"This is easy to handle. All we need to do is declare to the outside world that they are also the ones who got the wedding invitation." Luther said, "Let them gradually get used to the fact that there is a champion on the island, and there is more than one."
Mai was unexpectedly hugged by Luther.
Luther whispered in Mai's ear: "You can design the wedding according to your ideas."
Mai blushed and reached out to push Luther's shoulder.
"The wedding I envisioned was very simple and could not support your frame at all."
Luther naturally knew the reason for Mai's simple wedding.
At the beginning, the combined money of Luther and Mai was enough to feed the elves every day.
The two poor men's vision of their own bright future remained at the simplest level.
We have a wedding dress, a celebration, and drinks, and it seems that we have all the necessary elements for a wedding.
No matter how much...Luther hasn't achieved results yet, he doesn't dare to think about it.
Later, Luther won the championship and bought Qidao, and Mai became busy little by little.
The business skills that I thought I would never use again were picked up again, but this time it was not to help the Soramu family, but to help my own home - Qidao.
Mai was so busy that she seldom added the new elements she wanted to the wedding. So when Luther said she could imagine it by herself, her mind went blank except for the pictures she had already thought of in the past.
Moreover, Mai felt that weddings should not need too many fancy things.
If two people really like each other, the ceremony is just a formality to have better memories in the future.
"That's not possible. I rarely want to be high-profile about this wedding, so you have to help me!"
Mai smiled and said: "It's easy. I have a way to make the wedding go according to my previous ideas, but in a very high-profile way and shocking."
"I can arrange everything else myself, but...I need the help of Lugia and Mana Fei."
Lurina was interrupted by Luther before they could exchange a few words with Mana Fei and Lugia's family who had just returned to the island.
Seeing the calm and relaxed expressions of Luther chatting with Lugia, Xiaoyin and Manafei at close quarters, Lulina couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, people are different.
She trembled all over just being stared at by Lugia.
Lugia put a lot of pressure on her, and this was the most aura of an elf she had ever seen.
"Wedding?" Lugia recalled something and suddenly realized, "Is it right for humans to witness the ceremony of love? I have seen it before."
It was normal up to this point. Lugia's next words made Luther almost fall down.
"Is it the child named Mai or the one named Mira?"
This is not over yet, Lugia asked again.
"Is there anything else, or both?"
In the elf world, it is normal for a powerful overlord elf to have several spouses at the same time.
Lugia also saw several brides at a wedding when he was in Yuanzhu City.
"Lugia, the wedding you saw was probably from ancient times...it is not applicable to today."
Lugia said confidently: "The last time King Phoenix said that he had seen such a scene in Alola, not long ago."
"Alola is Alola, Sinnoh is Sinnoh."
"This is Qidao. Aren't you the owner of the island? What does it have to do with them?"
Absolutely, why can’t Luther make sense!
Luther never expected that one day he would be bypassed by Lugia.
In order to continue questioning the curious baby Lugia, Luther directly informed Lugia of Mai's request.
Before Lugia agreed, Mana Fei was already spinning around Luther.
Darkrai translated: "He agreed and thought it was quite fun."
Xiao Yin flapped his wings and screamed happily.
As soon as Lugia glared, Xiaoyin immediately lay down and looked at Luther pitifully, as if she was accusing him of her mother's sins.
"I spent some energy educating Xiaoyin some time ago, now you have to..."
Lugia sighed helplessly when he saw Xiao Yin hugging him and begging.
"Xiaoyin really likes you..."
"You have taken care of Xiaoyin these years, helped her grow up, and brought her to see the world. Everything you have done makes me very satisfied."
"I gradually understand why Feng Wang likes you. You do have qualities that make people trust you."
Lugia nodded: "I can help you."
After Luther thanked Lugia, he couldn't help but asked: "A week ago, you told me that it was normal for Phoenix King to be late for a while, but now I still haven't seen her..."
"Do you feel my resentment?"
"ha?"
"When I was waiting for the Phoenix King, I was like you." Lugia said, "Feel my pain, Luther."
Luther never expected that Lugia also had such a naughty side.
"It's almost, it's really soon. I can already feel the aura of King Phoenix, but for some reason, she seems to be staying somewhere in Sinnoh and not leaving."
"She seemed to be there a week ago, and she still hasn't left."
Lugia looked into the distance in confusion: "Why did Phoenix King stop? Even I am curious."
Lugia and Luther were waiting for where the Phoenix King was at this moment. Luther would be shocked if he knew about it.
Just before heading to the Galar region, Luther was worried that Arceus would wake up suddenly and asked Mira to send people to an inconspicuous town in Sinnoh to stand by.
Once any emergency occurs in this town, Luther must be notified immediately to return.
The name of this town is Midina.
Midina is rich in natural resources and is located on the shore of the lake.
The ruins of Midina, located on the peak of the giant mountain of Midina, are the ruins of an ancient temple and are the most famous attractions here.
In addition, this small town with almost no sense of presence in the history of Sinnoh and with such a barren history has one thing that is famous for Sinnoh.
Meteor legend.
Legend has it that people in the Midina area saw Arceus, an elf who can be called a god, and witnessed his feat of appearing from the void, smashing giant meteorites, and saving the earth.
After that, the local humans were moved by Arceus' actions and rescued Arceus. Finally, with Arceus' help, the land after the attack was restored to life.
Although this legend is valid, and there are even some documents recording the time of the meteorite's fall, it is still classified as a myth.
Arceus, on the other hand, is still an elf that only exists in mythology.
Raikou and Entei of the Ho-Oh Guards did not enter Midina.
They sensed where Midina was, and there was a powerful force confronting him.
The place where they faced off was not on the land of Midina, but in another space.
The Phoenix King soars in the sky, looking down at the land.
She had no good feelings for the people living in this land, and she had a presence in most of history and had also witnessed the decline of Midina.
King Ho was not surprised by Midina's decline, it was something they brought upon themselves.
"Deceiving, hurting, blaspheming, and trying to erase his achievements, the people of this land will repay kindness with hatred and will eventually usher in destruction."
A tribe that did not return the power that possessed him and attempted to completely wipe out Arceus could survive and thrive in the long river of time. This is quite ridiculous in itself.
Sins will not be erased with the passage of time, nor will they need to be repaid just because the old person has passed away.
In the past three years, the abnormal climate in various regions and the gaps created by space collision have caused strange things to appear frequently.
All sources point to an angry god.
The anger and resentment accumulated by Arceus for more than a thousand years have turned into shattered desires under the fermentation of time. His awakening made the world begin to tremble.
As one of the creatures in this world, Phoenix King watched all this calmly.
Luther said that there are many good people in this world, and it is precisely because of this that the despicable parts appear so dazzling.
"Palkia, Dialga, as his creations, do you want to help the people of this land resist him?"
"I hope the decision you make is correct..."
Ho-Oh ended his long gaze on Midina, and flew towards the island again under the gaze of Palkia and Dialga in the void.
