Sirona has seen many trainers who achieved outstanding results in the Suzuran Tournament and then quickly disappeared from everyone.
They lingered in front of this blocked door, eager to take a step forward, and then chose to leave after being unable to get in.
Occasionally, she would be curious and look up the whereabouts of the champions, runners-up, and top 16 players in the Suzuli Contest over the years.
Some people return to their hometowns and treasure their honors as wonderful memories. They no longer raise challenges or travel, but choose a quiet life.
Some are still looking for their own answers on the road of travel.
Others are already in despair, feeling that their time is fleeting, and leave silently.
Sirona's answer was shared with some of them, but it did not allow them to break through this bottleneck and go further.
If Luther hadn't asked this question today, she wouldn't have said it, because only by climbing up would she have such troubles.
"They always say that time flies by so fast and they don't have the extra energy to continue to persevere." Sirona laughed dryly, "In fact, it's just that the blood has turned cold. After getting a good ranking, the heart has been satisfied and no longer thirsty.
"
"I used to think you were such a person, but then I found out that you are not."
Luther looked at Sirona curiously, looking forward to the praise in the next turn.
"I found out that you are really lazy!" Sirona poked Luther's forehead again, "You are so lazy that you would rather eat and wait for death than fulfill your talent. If you try to climb up again, you are really going too far!"
"You must be angry with me on purpose, that is, you can't do it even if you ask me." Sirona said, "You cherish every elf as a treasure. If you are asked to select one and pet it for a period of time, you must be embarrassed.
Hesitate and give up after a mental struggle. Not to mention you are lazy!"
Sirona became angrier as she talked and kept pinching Luther's cheeks.
Maybe it was a pity that there was a potential rival, or maybe it was a pity that Luther had not discovered the possibility, but in short, Sirona was angry.
"Isn't this a plan for a rainy day?" Luther argued while resisting Sirona's attack. "One day in the future, I suddenly have something that I have to become stronger and solve in person. Then I will use it."
"Don't do this. You are hiding on Qidao Island. I will still settle here in the future. Who else will offend you if you don't have the foresight and need you to take action personally?"
Sirona didn't buy Luther's crude excuse. After pinching Luther's face until it was hot, she snorted and walked away.
Despite what he said just now, Luther still kept Sirona's words in mind.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. You need to hold on to your own power!
"Select slowly and think slowly. The first elf to be favored must be carefully selected." Luther sighed.
Back at Sirona's villa, Mai and Mira were in the hall, concentrating on a few pieces of white paper on the table.
On the side, Fat Keding and Geely Egg were eating cakes and curiously poking their heads.
Luther hugged Mai from behind, startling her.
"What's wrong with you two? Today, half of the fossil pterosaur skeleton was unearthed. Why don't you go and watch?" Luther asked.
Seeing what Mai was recording, Luther was stunned.
"These are...famous quotes? Why did you suddenly want to write this?"
"After Sachiko and Aoi discussed it, they decided to start the first island summer camp this summer and autumn," Mai said.
"So fast?" Luther was a little surprised. At this stage, the fruit trees on the island have not been completely planted, and they don't know how they are growing. Are they starting to arrange the summer camp?
"Akui and Professor Xizhu walked around the island and found that the fruit trees were not seriously frozen. Many wild elves are still active in the wild in the winter and carefully take care of the planted fruit trees."
"Now Aoi is very confident that this batch of fruit trees will have a good harvest. And Sachiko said that there is no need to wait until the fruit trees are fully planted. It is enough to temporarily circle an area so that the children in the summer camp can play."
"Sachiko and Huoyan have found such an area near Queen Bee's territory, and will soon determine the specific size."
Mira sighed: "I am in favor of starting it so soon. Now that we are so short of money, we should try to structure these projects first. It would be good to get some blood back."
When it came to money, Luther lost his temper and immediately agreed to the arrangement.
"But what does this have to do with your signs with these famous quotes?"
"This is Karuna's suggestion. Since we are going to hold a summer camp, we need to let them feel the atmosphere of the island so that they can learn something indirectly. This sign will be inserted near the summer camp area and the Elf Center."
Sirona and Karuna have already provided their own "famous quotes", which are words of encouragement for newcomers.
Mai's eyes were shining, and she was really looking forward to Luther coming up with a sentence and putting it in together.
Luther waved his hands, saying that he couldn't say anything philosophical, so forget it.
The scene of the conversation with Sirona suddenly appeared, Luther frowned and thought for a moment.
"How many people have failed to reach this point, but this place is only halfway."
Kalunai appeared in the hall at some unknown time, heard Luther's words, savored them carefully, and applauded.
Luther blushed a little: "I didn't think of this. I only remembered this passage after listening to Sirona's words. Please quote it."
"Although I'm not sure whether these children who like elves can understand the profound meaning, this sentence is great." Karunai praised, "Who said the original words?"
"A scholar," Luther answered.
"Then he must be very outstanding. The path of trainers and researchers is the same. It is boring and has no shortcuts. It requires continuous training and hard work to go further."
"How many people gave up, fell down, and chose to leave on this road. They thought they had succeeded, but they were only halfway along the way."
"Luther, are you talking about yourself?" Kalunai asked with a smile, "When did you have the idea to continue working hard to become stronger?"
"I was awakened by what Sirona said, and Shijana is my apprentice. I also hope that I can have new gains to share with her." Luther also smiled, "Being a master also requires you to fulfill your responsibilities.
"
Huo Yan blew bubble gum and walked in from the gate, and said carelessly: "A man named Ron from the Sinnoh Alliance is looking for you, saying that he is discussing with you the purchase of fossil pterosaur skeletons."
"When he saw me when he came to the island, he grabbed the Poké Ball and tried to attack me. Is there something wrong with his brain?" Huo Yan clicked his tongue.
Mira covered her head, rushed over, and began to take off Huoyan's clothes.
"I told you several times that I bought you so many clothes in Binhai City. Why do you fall in love with this shabby cape and jacket from the Lava Team?"
"Take it off for me, take it all off. It's all my money that was spent on the clothes, and you don't wear them after you buy them. You must want to make me angry to death!" Mira was furious.
