Luther was a little disappointed when he didn't see Palkia appearing yesterday.
Hope and possibility are, after all, just people's expectations for a better future. Whether the light they generate can light up an era that has become chaotic without Arceus, Luther has no idea.
Some fires are very fragile and will be extinguished in the vast darkness with just a slight breeze.
The moment it lights up, it may be the last time in their lives for a group of people with passion and hope for the future to witness the light.
After the wedding banquet, Luther walked up to the roof of the castle, stared at the clear sky, and waited for Palkia to open the passage and come to the island again.
After waiting for a long time and receiving no response, Luther could only sigh and choose to bury the matter deep in his heart and not think about it again.
I originally thought it was a disappointing story, but after Palkia appeared, it suddenly turned into an interesting story.
Palkia had already arrived, but when he arrived, Luther and Mai were kissing, and then turned around and returned to his own world.
I thought I would come back after a while, but I forgot about the time.
The wind on the new island was so strong that Luther could hardly open his eyes.
Mariluli, who was eating non-stop, took a step forward and stood in front of Luther. The impact of her chubby body really made Luther feel better.
Palkia felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. He made a mistake that he didn't know whether it was big or small.
Dialga asked him to send his blessing on the wedding day and tell Luther what he had seen.
However, the moment he was stunned was now considered the second day.
And Dialga repeatedly told him that it would only make sense on that day.
Luther didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, it wasn't too late.
Palkia also wanted to think so, but...
"Do you know what Palkia gave you?"
"It should be similar to what Groudon and you and I have. It has the function of conveying messages, right?"
Groudon's gem, Palkia's pearl, and Ho-oh's iridescent feather.
The first two are basically used for communication, while the latter is a treasure given to Luther by Phoenix King to ward off disasters and warn.
The Luoyu custom in Luoyu Town was born after witnessing Luoyu, the Phoenix King, blessing the earth.
Palkia said: "It can't contact Dialga, which is Dialga's time anchor."
Luther blinked and repeated the strange name Palkia said: "Time Anchor"
Is this the name of the little pentagon that was born from the pentagon on Dialga's chest?
"What's the purpose...Wait a minute?" Luther just asked, and after looking at the name carefully, he had already noticed its meaning.
Palkia did not use Darkrai to translate, but introduced it telepathically.
Arceus created Palkia and Dialga and gave them his power.
This is what humans call the power of time and the power of space.
Palkia, who has mastered the power of space, can travel through worlds and distort space.
Dialga can use his power to move freely in time, go to the past, and follow certain possibilities to reach a special future.
Unlike Palkia, Palkia travels through many spaces and can easily return to the world he created.
And Dialga, who has no concept of time, can easily forget his origin during the too long time travel.
Therefore, Dialga created a time anchor and left it in a place approved by Arceus and where he felt it was appropriate.
A long time ago, this time anchor stayed in Midina when Damos was still alive.
Now, this time anchor is left on the island where Luther still lives in the world.
This is not a communication device, but a beacon that defines "now" for Dialga, who has no concept of time.
"The past is the past, only the present moment is the most precious."
It wasn't until this moment that Luther understood the emotion contained in the words Dialga said to him before.
Groudon entrusted his comfort to Qidao.
King Feng confided all his good wishes for mankind to Qidao.
Lugia left Xiao Yin behind and placed his future on Qidao.
Dialga left "now" on the island.
Unknowingly, Qidao no longer carries Luther’s original dream, but the longing for beauty of many elves.
Palkia was about to leave. Before leaving, he informed Luther that his puzzle had begun to be made.
"I will create something with all kinds of features that will amaze you."
This description, combined with Luther and Mai's style when pinching Niijima, three words instantly popped into Luther's mind.
"Stitch Monster."
Then there's the "spectacle".
I don’t know what kind of style Palkia can sew.
What Palkia needs to do now is the first step, which is to find materials.
Combined with Luther's self-restriction in selecting materials at the time, Palkia also set rules for himself.
First, the "material" cannot be taken away forcefully, because this material may be the habitat of many elves and people.
Second, try to choose materials in uninhabited places where few elves and people live, to avoid having too big an impact.
With Palkia's departure, peace once again came to Qidao, and the New Year's holiday also kicked off.
There is no doubt that during the New Year period, the news of Qidao's wedding occupies the absolute hot spot.
Everything about Luther and Mai's wedding aroused strong reactions as soon as it was exposed.
The first is the popularity of the word "囍".
The word "囍" represents joy, and after the people who participated in the wedding mentioned the good luck, it instantly became a hot New Year decoration.
The gathering of the champions made everyone discuss the strength of the champions again, and they were very curious whether they all settled on the island.
If they settled on Qidao, they must have fought many times, right?
Perhaps who is stronger among the champions is really a question that can only be known on the island.
The blessing of the Phoenix King pushed the discussions on major forums to the highest peak.
What is the story between Luther, Mai and King Feng that made King Feng appear on the wedding day?
For a time, all kinds of speculations were flying everywhere, and even the story was written in a realistic way.
The discussion on the Internet was in full swing. Everyone was envious of Luther and Mai's blessed marriage and offered their blessings.
In real life, in Yuanzhu City, a group of people hurried outside the Qidao Fog Wall on the third day of the new year.
The fog wall on Qidao did not reject them, but opened automatically after hearing everyone's intention.
There were eight visitors in total. The leader was Yuan Shan, a local archaeologist in Yuanzhu City.
Luther did not expect that the gym leader Songye did not come. After asking, he learned that Songye did not approve of going to Qidao to inquire about the Phoenix King, and tried his best to prevent them from traveling, saying that everything should be allowed to take its course.
The Matsuba family has participated in spirit sacrifices for generations, and their ancestors were among the few people who were able to go to the Twin Towers to communicate with the Phoenix King.
Songye and Luther have a bit of a fate.
When Luther inquired about information about Rainbow Feather, he called Songye specifically.
Songye didn't remember this, after all, Luther claimed to be Sirona's friend at the time, and this was something he was familiar with, so he didn't take it to heart.
It was also because he didn't know, otherwise Songye would have been surprised that the person who called him in the first place had already had a great connection with Phoenix King.
Luther also didn't expect that Songye, who was very dedicated to the Phoenix King, didn't really want the group of people in front of him to ask for information about the Phoenix King, but expressed the view of "let nature take its course".
The eight people sat down in the living room for a while before Luther appeared wearing very casual short-sleeved beach shorts and lay down on the sofa opposite the eight people.
There is no need to turn on any heating on the first floor. The temperature control of Vulcan Moth is perfect. The indoor temperature is not much different from that in spring. No wonder Mai likes to work in the hall.
Luther didn't care that the eight months opposite him looked at him strangely. This was his own home, and he was free to wear whatever he wanted.
As for whether they feel that they don't respect them enough... On the third day of the new year, Luther can open the door on the island, which means he respects them enough.
Yuan Shan also knew that Luther was so "free and easy", and a large part of the reason was that they came to bother him just a few days after Luther and Mai's wedding, and it was during the annual vacation.
However, when it came to King Feng, they couldn't sit still at all. Even if they tried to persuade him again and again, the group of people around them still couldn't wait.
Yuan Shan had no choice but to bypass the pleasantries and ask straight to the point how Luther and King Feng met.
Luther smiled and did not answer, but took a sip of the hot tea brought by Tibrim.
There is no way to go into detail about this matter. If you tell them that Feng Wang saved Mira for himself, the people around Yuan Shan will probably collapse.
Not to mention that an old man with gray hair, skin as dry and wrinkled as tree bark, a staggering gait, and difficulty walking on a crutch was also among the visitors. I was really afraid that he would collapse here as soon as he got emotional.
Yuan Shan also realized that there might be something in it that could not be mentioned, so he asked for advice seriously: "We want to know if King Feng mentioned us."
Today, those who come with the original shirt are some of the descendants of those who originally offered sacrifices to the Phoenix King, some are descendants of the people who built the twin towers, and some are family members who have worked hard for generations to welcome the Phoenix King back.
Before the Phoenix King appeared on the island, Yuanzhu City had not heard of other people who had witnessed the Phoenix King.
Even Yuan Shan heard about it from Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi witnessed what happened to King Phoenix.
However, without exception, they rejected this possibility.
Phoenix King's view that he no longer wants to be exposed in front of people is deeply rooted. The fire that year completely isolated humans and Phoenix King on both sides of the sea of fire, and they never intersect again.
This view has been passed down from generation to generation and has become an ideological stamp.
If Phoenix King appears, why doesn't he appear in Yuanzhu City, which is most closely related to her?
Could it be that Yuanzhu City is still resented by King Feng?
Before, they could still use the Phoenix King to alienate humans to cover up this uneasiness, but the appearance of the Phoenix King on the island directly tore this fig leaf of self-deception to pieces.
The Phoenix King appeared and did not alienate human beings, but also gave blessings to others.
Yuanzhu City has wanted to see the Phoenix King for generations, but the people who solved the misunderstanding face to face could not accept this fact.
They were filled with incomprehension and confusion, and longed for Luther's guidance and explanation.
What did Luther rely on to make the Phoenix King appear again?
Don’t they have such a thing?
Luther looked at the seven people beside Yuan Shi looking at him with extremely longing eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"I'm listening."
This is what Feng Wang and Luther said when this group of people entered Luther's house.
Luther really didn't know how to continue this topic.
Ho-oh said that she had reminded Matsuba through Suicune's mouth as to why she did not return to Enzhu City.
Songye had woken up and tried to tell the group of people his awakened views, but the group completely ignored Songye.
Do they really have to let King Feng speak so harshly and coldly for them to wake up?
Seeing Luther lost in thought, an old woman stood up tremblingly, grabbed Luther's hand, and said excitedly: "We left the scorched tower and built a new tower."
"Generations of people have worked hard to let King Phoenix listen to our regrets, but we have never seen King Phoenix."
"Is it because we didn't do a good enough job, or does King Feng still remember what happened back then?"
"What else are we going to do?"
Luther was silent for a while, broke away from the old woman's withered hand, and asked the others: "What will you do if the Phoenix King appears?"
"Express your apologies to King Feng."
"Welcome the Phoenix King back to the newly built Bell Tower."
"Make up for the mistakes of our ancestors, and appease the Phoenix King with a grand ceremony!"
A sigh.
It was not from Luther, but from King Feng.
They still didn't mention the three elves who died in vain in the fire.
What they want is still a totem.
It lives on the Bell Tower, is wrapped in grand sacrifices, and is shaped by everyone into a symbol of "god".
She doesn't want to become a totem or symbol. The new bell tower and the wishes of these people are just a prison.
As time goes by, the bond between Yuanzhu City and Feng Wang has fallen off and become history.
And children who treat this period of history with a normal heart are constantly emerging.
When these children grow up and face this generation, Feng Wang will not mind spreading a rainbow over Yuanzhu City.
As for now…
Luther picked up the tea cup.
Seeing the eight people in front of him indifferently, Luther let out a "tsk".
"Huo Yan, see you off."
Isn't this just the beginning? Why are you seeing off the guests?
Realizing that Luther was serious and not joking, the man on crutches just stayed on the sofa and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I won't leave, and I won't leave until I get an answer."
Realizing that King Feng was still observing, Luther really didn't want these people to destroy King Feng's expectations for the future of Yuanzhu City, so he immediately gave the order.
"Gardevoir, Dream Demon, Darkrai, Cresselia, Miaomiao, Tiburim, Gengar, please leave these seniors from the island."
"They are all elderly people, so please be gentle."
Perhaps because of Luther's relationship, this group of people did not dare to threaten Luther with harsh words such as asking Qidao to settle the score if something happened. They just used their old bodies to grab the furniture of Luther's house, trying not to be disturbed by the spirit.
Lift it up.
I don’t know why they did such a futile move. Do they think they can play real-person PK with the elves with super mental strength?
Seeing the eight people being sent all the way out of the fog wall, Luther breathed a sigh of relief.
King Feng fell in front of Luther: "You are helping them."
Luther sighed: "I just don't want these people to ruin your good mood. Each generation has its own limitations. Some of them are old and can only live in the afterglow of the past era."
"And some people, the little dark thoughts they hide are actually behind the times, but they don't even know it..."
"They can't wake up and just want to sleep like this."
"Although snoring is noisy when sleeping, it will calm down soon after."
King Feng raised his head and looked in the direction where the group of people left.
"Dialga and Topalkia just told me last night that in a world without Arceus, a group of young people stumblingly preached the idea of coexistence and co-prosperity between humans and elves, fighting countless conspiracies on a chaotic land.
, fought against black power, and finally succeeded in leading the elves and people there to stand together."
"Guess how long it took them to comfort the elves hurt by Arceus' death and untie the chain of hatred?"
Phoenix King stared at Luther.
"Four hundred years," Luther said, "generation after generation have worked tirelessly to bring that hopeless world back onto the track of a future."
"The young people of each generation try their best to take over the ideas and mantle of the previous generation."
"They went deep into all parts of that world, spreading their love and youth, and countless people just disappeared on that land and turned into white bones."
"But they are still doing it and they are determined to do it."
The feathers all over the Phoenix King's body were shining with a faint rainbow light.
"I feel sorry for Huoyan, he has to be responsible for sending these people back to Binhai City."
King Feng clearly felt sorry for Huo Yan, but he kept laughing.
After saying that, the Phoenix King stood up gracefully, followed closely by the boat driven by Huo Yan, and silently bid farewell to the generation that carried the decay of Yuanzhu City.
A story started by her and Lugia, but never really concluded, came to an end at this moment.
Phoenix King, who has personally started a new story, believes that the new story will have a better chapter.
