After successfully getting the funds he wanted, Kojiro was in a good mood. He said goodbye to Luther and Mai, and was about to return to Binhai City to continue processing the remaining goods and settle the final payment for the rented venue.
Mai also wanted to let Kojiro and the others come down for a meal, or even stay for a few days, to experience the scenery on the island.
But after all, Kojiro comes from a wealthy family, and he has experienced this kind of island manor, so he said that the current island is not too attractive to him, and he hopes that he will be shocked next time he comes back from Galar.
.
The trio who left in a hurry always felt that they had forgotten something. On the way out of the villa, they looked back several times, trying to remember the things they had forgotten, but in the end they still couldn't figure it out.
"Meow always feels like something is wrong."
Miao Miao crossed her hands and thought as she walked. When she raised her head, she found that she had walked on the land beside the path when she was supposed to return to the dock along the cobblestone path.
Before he could remind Kojiro and Musashi of this anomaly, Miao Miao suddenly felt his feet go empty. The soft sounds of gravel and hay were accompanied by the feeling of weightlessness as he fell.
After three muffled sounds, the trio fell into a large pit about two meters deep. They fell so hard that they felt stars on their heads and screamed as they touched the spot where they landed.
"This feeling..." Miaomiao rubbed her butt and remembered something.
"It's quite a disgusting feeling..." Musashi followed Miao Miao's words.
The long-lost feeling made Kojiro understand the reason why he looked back three times after leaving the villa.
Huo Yan reminded himself that when he left, he finally took her with him to stop the dream demon from upgrading its mischief. However, they were immersed in the joy of being recognized and left straight away.
Three dream monsters gathered above the big pit, laughing.
Just now, the trio said that their trap was too low-level and they were spotted right away. Although the trap this time was also very crude, they succeeded immediately after using a little illusion to induce it.
Just when Musashi wanted to shout the name of the dream monsters and ask them to help him, a huge head appeared silently from behind the three dream monsters.
The dream demon, who was shivering all over, turned his head stiffly, only to see the dream demon staring at the naughty girls with a smile.
He wanted to run away, but was restrained in place by the dream demon's mental power before he even started.
"It seems you still forgot."
Huo Yan, who was spraying water on the fruit trees nearby with a watering can, heard the noise and walked to the pit and sighed helplessly.
The trio, who had relived their past memories, were not angry. Instead, they found it amusing to watch the dream demon forcefully hold down the heads of the dream demons.
Watching the trio leaving the island by boat from a distance, Sirona walked over to Luther.
"Is it settled?"
Luther was stunned for a moment, then nodded after understanding what Sirona was referring to.
"I have been indecisive and irresponsible to all the elves. I have decided that I will announce the news when the elves gather together."
After a moment of silence, Luther said with some emotion: "I originally wanted to choose Mariluli. Her strength is really outstanding. I have won many tough battles relying on her perseverance and strength."
"Actually, I also want to choose Gardevoir. She is always used by me to fight in some very difficult and tough battles. Draws and losses are common, but she always does a good job and is the first one I can listen to.
The Spirit of the Heart.”
Sirona patted Luther on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't feel that you owe any elf, and don't feel that you didn't choose the one who joined the team first, so you're sorry for her."
"The first elf has different paths and methods to break through that bottleneck. You still need to explore. The first elf needs to face many tests."
"But his method can be used as a reference for later generations."
Sirona raised her head thoughtfully: "Darkrai is pretty good. He is very powerful in his own right, but he is limited in his battle ideas and cannot become very strong."
"After participating in the Suzuran Tournament, his shortcomings began to be exposed. You also trained him for this and allowed him to grow up."
"Compared to other elves, his desire for power is more obvious, and he is also the most persistent and hungry. There is no problem with your choice in my opinion."
Sirona pinched Luther's face: "Don't think that the elves will feel ignored because of your choice. They are your friends, and they will understand your decision."
Luther strengthened his determination, and suddenly realized that his wavering at this moment was more like questioning his bond with the elves, and couldn't help but cursed himself secretly.
After dinner, Luther announced to the elves gathered in front of him that he was the first elf cultivated by Ace.
"Please help Darkrai become stronger!"
Luther needs the lightning speed of the Dream Demon and the accuracy of hitting his skills accurately while moving.
It requires auspicious eggs to be as immovable as a mountain, a powerful defense that will not blink even in the face of a stormy attack.
It requires Gardevoir's formidable scene judgment ability. After analyzing various situations, he can quickly find the opponent's weaknesses and kill them with one strike.
It requires Hei Lujia's indomitable momentum to move forward.
…
Sirona said that this is a training in which the stronger you make other elves, the more obvious the feedback will be.
"This is a jigsaw puzzle. Only the trainer who has collected all the jigsaw puzzles can take that step. Otherwise, the effort will be in vain. You can only see the door but not enter."
A'Du said that there are other ways to break through bottlenecks, but the puzzle method named by Sirona is very popular with him.
This is a training in which all elves can be improved as long as they participate in it.
All the elves are training Darkrai in the military, which is actually a process in which all the elves are trying to learn from the experience of fighting Darkrai.
The trainer's unique training methods and the unique characteristics of an individual elf will all become a key puzzle piece for that elf to break through the bottleneck.
In the silence, gentle applause suddenly sounded.
Darkrai, who was standing in the middle of the field looking slightly worried, saw Gardevoir's little hand in front of him patting lightly.
Next came Mariuli, who was still biting something.
I have always been dissatisfied with anyone, and I always want to make yin and yang weird remarks.
Heiluga, who always had an argument with Darkrai, also barked twice to express his support.
Followed by Little Silver, Shakiras, and Miaomiao.
Voices of cheers and encouragement finally gathered together.
All the elves had already had a premonition and were waiting for Luther, who never dared to speak out for fear of hurting a certain elf, to announce the answer.
Sitting on the observation deck, Sirona looked at Luther who hugged the cuties in front of her, smiled and took a sip of the milk tea brought by Mai.
"Keep going, Luther. In your words, this is only halfway."
