126 On the island
Shanaiduo and Brand teamed up to catch a colony of Neptune whales, and Izumi didn't learn about it until a week later.
During the week, they cleaned up the castle on the island, and shipped a large number of furniture and ornaments to replace the original contents of the castle, and the whole style was designed according to Izumi's preferred style, for which they also specially hired professionals to help.
These people and servants were still trembling when they were first invited to the island, worrying about whether there would be a sea beast attack at all times, but slowly they found that it was safe and stabilized, and the speed of their work was much faster.
A week later, Izumi heard from the people who came back that the island had been cleaned up, and Izumi, who missed his elf, drove the island with Electrolux on the boat.
When he went to the island, he saw a castle that was shiny even on the outer walls of the castle, and the decoration was luxurious and splendid, but also warm and comfortable.
It's completely different from the gloomy and lifeless castle that Electrolux remembers.
The portraits of the ancestors of the Cley family on the walls were collected and replaced by warm, bright oil paintings, partly by Izumi's second brother Eric, and partly by royal painters.
The content of the oil paintings includes figure paintings and landscape paintings, but the characters in them are all known by Izumi and Electrolux, his family and elves, as well as his teachers and friends.
All the portraits are drawn around the theme of Izumi, and the most satisfying thing about Electrolux is the portrait of him and Izumi, in the human-height oil painting, Izumi in the royal dress sits on a chair, staring ahead, and Electrolux standing behind him looks down at him, but one of their hands is folded on the arm of the sofa.
"I remember it took us an afternoon to paint it, and my smiling face was stiff." Izumi looked at the striking oil painting hanging at the end of the hallway, which Electrolux had asked him to paint together, and they spent an afternoon doing nothing but posing there in order to get the artist to do nothing.
"You hang all these paintings here, so that it seems that I am the master here."
"You are the master of this place, this castle, this sea, this Cley, even me, all of them are yours." Electrolux said seriously, the sincerity in his eyes made it impossible to suspect that he was just a false love statement.
However, Izumi is obviously not a shy little girl who only listens to love words, he calmly listened to Electrolux's confession, the smile on the corner of his mouth has not changed, only a trace of warmth flowing in his eyes betrays him.
"Since you've said so, I'll take it allβthis castle, this sea, this Clay, and you."
Maybe when he has his own territory in the future, it will be a good choice to combine the two places.
"It's an honor."
While visiting the bedroom, Electrolux discovers Shanaido's sinister intentions.
- It tidied up the male and female bedrooms, and deliberately hung a name tag at the door of the room, with the name of Izumi on the door of the male bedroom and the name of Electrolux on the door of the hostess's bedroom.
It's above board that they want to sleep separately.
Electrolux casually took off his name tag and hung it next to Izumi's name.
"This is where I used to live, and this castle has never had its owner, so every son of the black lives in the man's bedroom." The best room in the castle.
When he opened the door, the furnishings and furnishings of the room were very similar to Izumi's bedroom in the palace, and if it weren't for the slight difference in the size of the room and the location of the balcony, Izumi would have thought he was home.
Electrolux's gaze swept over every corner of the room, and he sighed slightly, everything here had been replaced with new ones, and there was no trace of what he had left behind.
But it's not a good memory, and it's better not to leave it.
After getting acquainted with the general structure of the castle, Izumi and Electrolux left the castle together to find Brand and Shanaido.
Yes, they came by boat on their own, and they haven't met the elves along the way.
The castle occupies most of the island, and there is very little land left, and on one side, in front of the castle gates, facing the coast, a dock was built for easy docking; On the other side, behind the opposite castle, there is a curved cliff that extends outward from the island, and people worry that it will suddenly break and fall down one day, and because of this, the castle has vacated this area.
However, in the hundreds of years since the castle was built, the island has been eroded by the sea day and night, and the cliff like a diving platform still stands without any danger.
When Izumi and Electrolux came hand in hand, all of their elves were here, and where Shanado was there, Bland was indispensable.
The place was more than ten meters above the sea at low tide, but now it was the time of the rising tide, and the rising water had submerged most of the reef, and the sea was only five or six meters away from where they were now.
Today's weather is good, although it is high tide, the waves are not too big, the arrival of Izumi and Electrolux did not alarm the elves on the edge of the cliff, everyone was lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down the cliff, and Shanaiduo was floating in the air outside the cliff, as if directing something.
The closer you go, the more you can hear a burst of chirping, something familiar, as if it had been heard not long ago.
"It's the call of a Neptune whale." Electrolux heard it too.
As if in response to his words, an overwhelming black shadow suddenly jumped out of the sea, churned in the air, and then jumped into the water again, followed by another black shadow of comparable size, like the previous one, jumped in the air, and a chirp could be heard when it fell into the water.
Immediately after that, another black shadow came out of the water, but this time it was two black shadows jumping out of the water on the left and right and meeting in the air, and then more and more.
Those black shadows that dived, they looked like the young whales of the Sea King before the spring, but they were all more than ten meters long, and their bodies were extremely huge, and those actions were somewhat familiar no matter how you looked at them.
"It's ...... Neptune whale show? Izumi was dumbfounded, and he didn't even notice that he was splashed a little bit.
He had seen many similar performances in the aquarium before, but he didn't expect to see them again after coming here.
"Shala~~" [Izumi! γ
As soon as he opened his mouth, a group of elves led by Shanaiduo immediately noticed their arrival, only to see that Shanaiduo threw a bunch of things that seemed to be elf food into the sea, and then floated in front of him, and the other elves hugged him one step earlier and made love to his master who had been separated for a week.
Izumi greeted them one by one, and then asked, "What were you doing just now?" β
[During the rehearsal show, I was going to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. γ
Shanaiduo also misses Izumi very much, they rarely have a time to separate, this sudden separation for a week, if it wasn't for Brand proposing to surprise Izumi and not invite Izumi to the island before training this group of Nepking whales, it would have gone back to pick up Izumi a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, it didn't pick him up, and Izumi came by himself.
"Rehearsal shows? That group of Neptune whales? β
[Well, they sing well, and the diving practice is also very good, and it will be done in two days.] Shanaiduo said lightly with Izumi.
In fact, although this group of Neptune whales was captured by them with Po Balls, because the Po Balls did not have the name of the owner written on them, although they could summon these Neptune Whales, they did not have an initial favorability towards anyone, and even showed great aggression, or Shanaiduo and Brand coerced and lured them to obediently.
"You caught a group of Neptune whales around here?" Quan smiled, "I really wanted to go together, I also planned to subdue them this time, but I didn't expect to be preempted by you." β
Hearing him say this, Shanaiduo also smiled: [I also think that you will want to subdue them, so I will do it myself, this group of big guys has a much calmer temper now, and it will be a very good water guard to help you protect this sea area if you train it again. γ
I don't know if it's influenced by this world, but after ten years of following Izumi here, Shanaiduo's wisdom has grown significantly, and his words, deeds, and thinking patterns are getting closer and closer to humans.
It's not just it that's changed, the elves of the spring have grown to varying degrees, especially the higher the level of the elves, the more obvious the change, and they are no longer the elves who used to have the wisdom of only five or six years old human beings.
Naturally, Izumi was pleased with this change, so now that even if they were left alone, Izumi no longer had to worry about anyone accidentally getting lost or having an accident.
"You fed them elf food?" Izumi didn't miss Shanado's move of throwing things just now.
[Well, I made some food mixed with fish and shrimp flour and tree fruits according to the recipe that the water elves like, and these big guys like to eat it.] After all, Shanaiduo is the one who "brings big" Izumi, and it also knows many of Izumi's skills, although it can't develop new recipes on its own, but Izumi has made elf food recipes that it has firmly remembered.
When it was separated from Izumi this time, Izumi was worried that the elves would not be able to eat outside, so he put a tree fruit mixer that he made himself that could make energy cubes in the storage props and brought it with him.
It is also because of this that it can use it to make elf food, so that those Neptune whales can obediently cooperate to complete this performance. Don't look at the fact that there is only a little bit of food, in fact, it is a special energy cube that can make the big stomach king Kirby beast full, and it is perfect for feeding these Neptune whales.
