Seeing the ash burned in the bonfire floating in the air, Luther was in a trance.
Xijana didn't know why Xizhu and Luther had strange expressions after they came back from settling the matter.
Luther had been sitting by the campfire motionless for a long time. He didn't even eat the dinner he had made, but just left it beside him.
Rubbing Miaomiao's head, Luther thought about a lot of things.
Although he told Xizhu not to think too much, in order for the commission to proceed smoothly, he had to figure it out.
The Aether Foundation hired the Skeleton Team to snatch the elves of Xi Zhu. It can be understood that they did not want to offend the Academic Alliance, but they also did not want the Academic Alliance to interfere with their research on the ultimate beast.
Therefore, they first agreed to Xizhu's request, and then caused trouble and accidents to force Xizhu to leave.
There is indeed nothing wrong with this idea and it is very logical.
But... who commissioned it?
Lusamine?
Luther always felt that with Lusamine's temperament, she wouldn't even say that she would do little tricks behind your back to trick you after she agreed.
But this is also my own subjective guess. If it is really Lusamine, then at least one thing can be confirmed.
Lusamine had no idea that this time Xi Zhu came to Alola and specially hired a reliable bodyguard... Or maybe she didn't know how reliable she was, so she just randomly sent some little shrimps.
"I hope it's not Lusamine... Otherwise, when I deal with you, I have to consider Lillie." Luther sighed, "You are already an unreliable mother, so don't be an unreliable adult again."
A female student from Xizhu came over with a plate of pastries, which brought Luther, who was still thinking, back to his senses.
"Is there a cake shop on the island?" Luther took it with a smile and handed it to Sijana.
"Although we are not good at fighting, our skills are still good." The female student smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you for helping us get the elf back."
"No, this is what I should do, collect money to do things. However, if I encounter this kind of thing, even if I don't have money to collect it, I will take care of it."
"I heard from Teacher Xizhu. She said that sometimes you suddenly want to be nosy."
Shijana nodded repeatedly while stuffing cake into her mouth. She agreed with Xizhu's view of her master.
"Wearing a bear, the cake I gave you was eaten by Shijana."
Luther shouted to the bear lying on the ground, imitating Xiaoyin and spreading his wings to rest.
Ignoring the cake battle that Xijana and the Dressed Bear were about to start, I didn't bother to tell them that there was a cake being baked over there in Xizhu.
As a master, it is reasonable to give your disciples a shake once in a while.
At the same time, Lillie was answering the questions Lusamine asked during the video call.
Occasionally Lusamine would think of Lillie and express her concern for her.
The way she cares is to ask if she has eaten on time, slept on time, what she has done recently, and then asks if she is doing well, or if Lillie is happy.
If Lillie answers "Okay" or "Happy", the conversation will end, and Lusamine on the screen will tell her to contact her if you need anything. She is still working, so hang up first.
Every time the screen went black, Lillie still had a lot of things she wanted to say to Lusamine, but she couldn't.
She wanted to tell Lusamine that she had made many friends in school and what kind of knowledge she had learned.
The cold jokes told by Principal Chengya today were very interesting. Dr. Kukui brought new elves so that they could appreciate them up close.
I also want to talk to Lusamine about the recent arrival of a new elf mandible ant in the garden of my house. The kora kola I brought home before has become stronger. The curly ear that was sick before has started to explode after recovering from illness.
According to the housekeeper, it feels comfortable to touch, and...
There was obviously a lot to say, but every time it ended with Lusamine's unilateral questioning.
Lillie even wondered whether Lusamine's concern for her was also a kind of work.
On a certain schedule, "Call with Lillie" is marked, so Lusamine will remember to understand her current situation.
It was no different from the previous call. The questions were asked step by step, and the answers were exactly the same. One question was robotic, the other seemed to be rushing to answer, but Lusamine didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.
Seeing the screen go black, Lillie was not as panicked as before.
I don't know since when, she no longer wanted to share her daily life with Lusamine.
After staying with Luther for so long, Darkrai has been keenly aware of Lillie's changes in mood.
Before that call came in, he was playing throw and catch with the tree monster, wind fairy and dream monster in the room.
This is a very boring game, if he is serious, these three elves may fly out with the ball.
How to pretend that the fight is difficult, and make the situation appear evenly matched, to maintain a stalemate, in order to increase the viewing pleasure and your own excitement, this is a science.
Letting the elves enter the room and play freely was Lillie's first step.
In fact, it is also a misunderstanding of Darkrai's behavior.
Darkrai threw Maluri's favorite snack back to Lillie, and Lillie mistakenly thought that he wanted to play throw and catch.
The misunderstanding was a bit big, so until Lillie brought the ball into the room and suddenly hit him in the face, he didn't react. Instead, he was stifled.
Darkrai felt that this kind of playing process was similar to playing with the Frost Milk Fairy. It was nothing more than the ball coming, waving, and slapping it back. The level of boredom was comparable to having to vent at Heiluga.
However, Lillie showed great enthusiasm for this sport and enjoyed it so much that she even decided to add a few elves to her own camp to defeat Darkrai.
Although Lillie just huddled on the bed after calling the elf into the room, this move was already a great improvement.
The dream monster, the tree monster, and the wind fairy stared at each other, somewhat at a loss.
They saw Lillie leaning on the bed with a depressed look on her face after answering the phone, and wanted to go over and comfort her.
However, they did not dare to move and could not move.
Realizing that the game could no longer be played, they obediently handed the ball to Darkrai, then said goodbye to him and tiptoed back to the courtyard.
Lillie fell asleep snoring slightly.
Just as Darkrai turned off the lights, the familiar nightmare wave appeared again.
Darkrai looked at Lillie's sleeping face and felt very complicated.
Last night, he could feel that Lillie had been immersed in a wonderful dream all night long, and in her sleep, she mentioned the names of her friends and even Luther's name from time to time.
This is how it should be today.
"That phone call..."
Darkrai was ready.
"Isn't it just to make people have sweet dreams? I can do that too!"
