Before leaving, Luther went to the Ether Paradise to take a final look at the four students of Xizhu.
After joining the Ether Foundation and starting their studies, they are now being led by the director of the research department. Bigui also told Luther that the people in the research department like these four motivated young people very much.
Luther was relieved. He was a person who valued entrustment very seriously. Since Xizhu entrusted him, he must help him to the end.
"I'll remind you one last time, don't open the ultimate hole randomly. I'm really not here this time."
"Also, as soon as you get the data you want, that Xuwuid will be sent back as soon as possible. I have also said before that his aggression towards humans is a behavior similar to hunting, which is very dangerous."
"It's a pity that Gladion never came home. Otherwise, I would also like to see the results of his training."
"Stay with Lillie more and don't fall back into your old ways..."
"When you say that, it makes me feel almost like Morn." Lusamine interrupted Luther with a smile.
These words were so dangerous that Luther didn't dare to accept them.
Just before setting sail, there was an endless stream of people checking their tickets and boarding the ship. Many of them were dressed very luxuriously, and you could tell at a glance that they were wealthy people.
The Aether Foundation's Aether cruise ship is very luxurious. According to Lusamine, it is a commercial cruise ship that travels between the four regions of Unova, Sinnoh, Kalos, and Galar. Many famous people in the Alola region are interested in it.
Ethereum Cruises is full of praise.
This time the Aether Cruise is not just about ferrying people, it is as simple as bringing cargo. Bico’s destination is Hezhong and Sinnoh.
Some materials for improving the Ultimate Cave Generator have been identified, but Bico and some members of the research department were still worried. Adhering to a rigorous attitude, they decided to go to several supply companies to check on-site.
The most difficult thing to say is probably the parting. Luther originally planned to leave secretly, but he couldn't hide it at all.
So as soon as he and Biko stepped onto the boat, Lillie's voice came from behind.
"Luther, when the house is repaired, I will go there and play!"
Not only Lillie, but also Mao, Suiren, Mamane, Kachi, Chengya, Kukui, Barnet, and the students who briefly took Luther class in the elf school.
I don't want to look back and I can't stand this kind of scene. Once I look back, I can't help but look at them and even wave goodbye to them involuntarily.
And they would wave to themselves stupidly, and then stand at the port and watch the ship go further and further away, becoming smaller and smaller.
However, Luther couldn't help it. He clearly judged his gesture of waving goodbye as silly, but he lay on the side of the ship and moved his hands on his own.
Thinking one thing, doing something else.
Luther really likes the living atmosphere in Alola and the daily life he spends with Lillie and the others. If possible, he would also like to live lazily here.
But his home is not here, he still has family waiting for him.
"It doesn't matter, I will come back when the Manaro Conference is held." Seeing Lillie sobbing, Luther comforted with a smile.
The crew member kindly reminded Luther to stay away from the side of the ship for the time being, as the ship was about to set sail.
Seeing Luther's figure disappearing from the ship's side, everyone was stunned for a moment. Listening to the sound of the Aether Cruise Ship setting sail, they silently watched it go away until finally only a small black dot remained on the horizon.
"Mom, when will the Manaro Conference be held?"
On the way home, Lillie asked anxiously.
"It will probably take another two years. Transforming an island is not such a simple matter. What's more, now that everyone's ideas have changed and they plan to make this conference even grander, there will be more preparation work."
Lillie shook Lusamine's hand and begged: "Can't you hurry up? This is the industry of the Aether Foundation. Mom can do it."
Looking at Lillie's cute little face, Lusamine felt proud.
"Okay, since Lillie wants to speed up the process, I will find a way. When I get back, I will inform them to send more manpower, and then ask the finance department to allocate some more funds."
"Luther said before that as long as the money is enough, there will be people rushing to make 007, let alone 996."
996 and 007 are very new words to Lusamine. The Aether Foundation does not force overtime, and the welfare is top-notch in several major regions, not to mention Alola.
So when Luther said these two words, Lusamine thought that the island was a slave labor hell, and Luther, as a slave owner, squeezed the elves and people underneath.
As soon as the car entered the gate, the butler James ran to the car door with a wrapped package and handed it to Lillie who got out of the car.
"Miss, this is the package delivered to you by Blue Bird Express."
Lillie was a little confused, then looked at her mother and found that her expression was similar to hers.
Lillie's social circle is very narrow, mostly in school. Who would specifically deliver packages to Lillie?
Protecting Lillie with some worry, she directed Yugira, who was subdued at home, to open the package.
The long transparent jar contains a golden, viscous liquid, with white crystal-like particles vaguely visible on it.
It was obviously sealed, but as soon as the package was opened, the refreshing and sweet smell penetrated into the nose, causing Lillie to drool a little.
There was a letter tied to the jar. Seeing the signature on the letter, Lillie couldn't wait to open it.
"There are also various fruits on the island, but those may not be surprising to you. After thinking about it, you may like the honey made by the queen bee on the island. Their method of making honey can be said to be unique.
A famous thing on the island.”
"By the way, take care of yourself. If your mother is still like before, notify me and I will take you to the island to play."
After Lillie read the letter, she opened the sealing cap, dug out a little honey with her fingers, and put it into her mouth. The sweetness bloomed on her taste buds.
"It's really sweet." Lillie said with a smile.
When Shui Lian returned home, she was immediately surrounded by her sisters Shihan and Shi Ting. Even Shui Lian's mother looked at Shui Lian with a smile.
The whole family looked at Shui Lian inexplicably, and even felt at a loss.
"Sister has a boyfriend." Shihan clicked her tongue and said, wagging her finger.
"I also gave my sister a gift." Shiting followed up with a smile.
Shui Lian's mother was very happy and touched her chest to express that Shui Lian had grown up.
"What on earth are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it!" Shui Lian raised her voice, otherwise she would have been forced into a corner by the three people who were approaching with a smile.
The three of them brought Shui Lian into the room, and an opened package was placed on the ground.
In the middle is a jar of honey, and next to it are two carbon fishing rods. It is even equipped with various props for sea fishing, including nets and so on.
Shui Lian's father was drooling. Although he could hardly catch anything, it did not prevent him from understanding the brand of the fishing rod.
The two fishing rods given to Shui Lian are not cheap, they are genuine brand names.
"Shihan couldn't help but open it first."
"Nonsense, it was Shiting who did it. She wronged me!"
Shui Lian's mother smiled and took out a letter and a Poke Ball from the table behind her, and handed them to Shui Lian.
"It's all together, please take it apart and take a look."
"It's not good to use such poor fishing rods with such good skills. I happened to pass by the fishing tackle store and happened to take a fancy to two more fishing rods, so I gave them to you."
"The guy in the elf ball also sent it to you. The last time I caught her, it was just a whim."
"Since she hurt you and broke your fishing rod, let her apologize to you."
Shui Lian opened the elf ball blankly, and Menas emerged from the ball. One elf and one elf, their big eyes stared at the small ones, and they were all a little confused.
