Chapter 62: Lilia (2-in-1)
Following.
"You probably won't have to deal with those hunters."
Joanna said to Natsuhiko, who had just gotten up and sat in the living room for breakfast.
Hear the words.
Xia Yan's fork churning the noodles in his hand paused slightly.
Then he stuffed it into his mouth without hurrying.
It wasn't until he ate the first bite that he said, "Someone did it first?" ”
"Hmm." Joanna nodded.
There are a total of nine people participating in the competition this time, and two of them have also landed on Ula Ula Island, and the hunters have been sent to the door by themselves and dealt with by Xia Yan.
It also includes one of Tomki's men, who was supposed to be given her a seat.
Looking at this alone, the plan that Miss Q asked Xia Yan to complete is almost half completed.
"How many are left?" Xia Yan asked.
"Judging from the news from the skeleton team, there should be two people left besides you."
Xia Yan nodded, "That means there's no need to fight?" ”
"If the information is true, that's right."
Tuk, tuk, tuk.....
Xia Yan habitually knocked on the edge of the table, picked up the paper towel on the table, and wiped his mouth.
"Whose people are the other two?"
Joanna pursed her lips, her face a little hesitant.
She didn't say it, Xia Yan probably understood.
They should all be Tomki's men.
This is not surprising.
"I see."
Xia Yan didn't say whether he would do it next, but said that he knew.
Then he touched Eevee and Six-Tails, who were lying on the table, eating energy cubes carefree.
The two little ones still had a good time.
"By the way, you're not here these days, and someone from the Aether Foundation has sent a message, hoping that you can go to Aether Paradise again." Joanna said as she glanced at the snow-white Six Tails.
When she saw this Alola-like six-tailed for the first time, she was also very surprised.
Such an elf, not to mention anything else, if it can be sold outside, with its rarity and rarity, it can definitely fetch a sky-high price.
It's just that she doesn't know where Xia Yan got it from.
But seeing that Xia Yan didn't look like he wanted to sell, Joanna didn't say anything.
"Well, I'll go later."
Xia Yan coped.
Xia Yan was not very surprised that the Aether Foundation was looking for him again.
If you guessed correctly, the last time Rusa Minay left in a hurry, it may have been Zaobo, who was in a hurry to make quick gains, who opened the ultimate hole.
Lusa Mina, who has seen the image of Void Id, will definitely look for him again.
"Over there in the black market, how is the construction of the guild branch?" Xia Yan asked.
"It's okay, although it's not a long time, many people have already registered their identities, some tasks have been released according to your requirements, and some believe that the results will be obtained soon."
Speaking of the guild's branches, a smile appeared on Joanna's face.
Although Xia Yan has not yet won the seat, the construction branch is a little arrogant.
But no one can care about him here.
The results are still very good.
In addition to the seven core members they originally brought, there are already dozens of peripheral members who have completed identity registration.
And the number of people is still increasing.
These people are all natives of the Alola region, so they don't have to worry too much about their identity.
And Joanna, who is mainly responsible for this work, also tastes the taste of being in charge of the power of a local guild.
Generally.
Very good.
Maybe when the Alola region opens up in the future, the hunters of the Hunters' Guild will already spread throughout the Alola region.
At that time.
It will not be easy for other seats to take over the region.
At least to see if Xia Yan is willing or not.
Xia Yan has already taken the lead.
Absolutely.
At present, the area affected by their radiation is only one part of Uraula Island.
"Continue to increase the intensity of the task, you can give more task remuneration appropriately, and you don't have to worry about the funding, anyway, the number of people is already only three, even if the last penny is not earned, the impact on the seat is not great."
Xia Yan picked up the finished six tails and gently stroked its soft and cold hair.
In a place like Alola, where the natural environment is relatively hot, holding an ice six-tailed is equivalent to holding a mobile air conditioner.
"Hmm."
Joanna thought so too.
"But ......," she hesitated again.
"How?"
"Our presence has already attracted the attention of the skeleton team and the police on Uraula Island, especially the skeleton team." Joanna said.
The island of Ula Ula is the stronghold of the skeletons.
If the Hunters' Guild wants to develop on Uraula Island, it is essential that there will be a conflict of interest with the skeleton team.
However, the impact is not huge.
The Hunters' Guild has the ability to be compatible with other forces, after all, all they want is to make money.
It was the police on Ula Ula Island that made Xia Yan have to pay attention.
Medan, the king of the islands of Ula Ula, is the leader of this group of policemen.
If Merdan's attention is aroused, the impact on their development will be greater.
"I'll take care of it, you let them keep a little bit of a low profile."
"Okay."
...
...
End breakfast.
Since he is not in a hurry to deal with those competitors, Xia Yan is also happy to do this.
Go see the young woman!
No, young and old!
The Aether Foundation still attaches great importance to Xia Yan.
After he said that he would go today, he arranged a plane at the Aether House.
Looking out the window of a helicopter at the artificial islands that are getting closer and closer.
I have to sigh.
Being able to build such a high-tech artificial island in a place like Alola, which is similar to the countryside of the elven world, is not to be said about the ability of the Aether Foundation to build a new "countryside".
With the helicopter landing.
The familiar Bike was already waiting on the tarmac, followed by several Aether Foundation staff members in uniform white tight-fitting overalls.
But what surprised Xia Yan was more.
This time it was not only Bi Ke who came, but also a middle-aged man with green hair, green glasses, and a forty-five degree rise on his head, who looked extremely unruly and had no one in his eyes.
Zaobo.
I didn't expect him to come too.
"Mr. Yan Xia." Seeing Yan Xia walking down from the plane, Bi Ke walked up with a smile.
"Miss Bico." Natsuhiko also nodded politely towards her.
"Let me introduce you, this is Zaobo, the current head of the scientific research department of our foundation." Bike introduced.
"Minister Zaobo." Xia Yan smiled and said hello.
Zaobo only glanced at Xia Yan twice, and continued to tilt his head.
"Mr. Yan Xia, don't pay attention to him."
Bike was not surprised by this, and walked towards the interior of Aether Paradise with Natsuhiko.
Although Xia Yan has long known what kind of person Zaobo is.
But his undisguised contempt is still more or less unpleasant.
But Xia Yan didn't say anything, still smiled and nodded.
"The chairman has been waiting for you for a long time."
Following Biko, surrounded by a group of Aether Foundation staff, they walked to the interior of Aether Paradise.
Although Xia Yan felt that he had taken the Aether Foundation seriously enough.
But when I actually entered the Aether Paradise, there were still some shocks.
It's not just the high-tech facilities inside.
And because of the people who come and go inside.
The Aether Foundation has its own combat units for hire.
Don't say anything else.
Just this time, among the people who followed Bike to greet him, there were a few people who made Xia Yan feel a little dangerous.
So.
Don't look at the cadres of the Aether Foundation.
But in fact, the strength of the Aether Foundation is really not to be underestimated
At least.
It's not something that can be compared to a flamboyant organization like the Skeletons.
Soon.
They entered the inner area of Aetherland, and arrived at Rusa Minay's office.
One is similar to the Aether House office, but on a larger scale.
Seeing Xia Yan, sitting on the chair, Lusa Mina's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Yan Xia."
Xia Yan took off his hat and bowed slightly, "Chairman Lusa Mina." ”
Bico walked over to Lusa Minay, who was also acting as an assistant.
Zaobo pursed his lips disdainfully at Natsuhiko's gesture.
Then he bowed and squatted even more exaggeratedly," said Chairman Lusa Mina. ”
"Mr. Yan Xia, please take a look at this."
As she spoke, Bi Ke manipulated the computer, and a video was quickly projected on the wall.
The Cave of the Ultimate, and the sprites that float outside the Cave of the Ultimate, like an octopus.
Seeing it, Xia Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Void Id!
"This Ultimate Beast escaped from a cave that accidentally appeared in the Ether Paradise not long ago, and it is almost exactly the same as the one you mentioned last time, sir, and we have temporarily named it 'UB01: Parasite' because it seems to have parasitic abilities."
Lusa Minay introduced.
Despite her best efforts, Xia Yan still saw a little fanaticism on her face.
"I took it."
This is Zaobo next to him did not forget to emphasize, patting his chest.
Xia Yan glanced at him quietly.
That meaningful look made Zaobo, who happened to meet Xia Yan's line of sight, stunned, and his heart was inexplicably a little flustered.
And Zaobo's reaction also made Xia Yan more sure of some conjectures in his heart.
It seems that it is indeed the ultimate hole that was opened because of Zaobo's eagerness for quick success.
I just don't know if Lilia and them have experienced the same experience.
"It's the one I've seen before." After Natsuhiko glanced at Zaobo, Doru Samina said with a smile.
If it is said.
Before, Rusa Mina may have doubted Natsuhiko's ability.
Then when she really saw the Void Wuyi described by Xia Yan, the suspicion in her heart was almost completely gone.
"I'm more used to calling it Vuid, though."
"Void Id?" Lusa Minay came interested.
"I once saw a man possessed by it, and when he was rescued, the man's mouth kept saying 'Void Id,' so I privately named it, Void Id."
Xia Yan didn't blink his eyes when he spoke, and he said it with a lot of truth.
Lusa Minay's eyes lit up.
Said to Bike beside him: "Update the file." ”
"Okay, Chairman."
"Wait, chairman, you can't deny our name because of his words." Zaobo next to him didn't do it.
What a chance to become famous by naming such a thing as an Ultimate Beast that has never been seen before.
If future generations mention this ultimate beast and say the name "UB01: Parasite", they will think of him Zaobo.
Now Xia Yan's fluttering words have robbed him of such a name?
"Okay, Zaobo, Mr. Yan Xia is the earliest contact."
But Lusa Minay went straight to the point.
Compared with a name like "UB01: Parasite", it is obvious that "Xuwuid" is more targeted and has a more provenance.
Hearing this, Zaobo's face sank.
"Mr. Yanxia has ever seen someone possessed by Void Id?" Lusa Minay asked again.
"Yes." Xia Yan nodded.
Lusa Minay hesitated slightly, and then asked again: "Then I wonder if this person has appeared, amnesia, unable to touch the elves?" ”
Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.
Did Lilia still follow the original plot?
Without waiting for Xia Yan to answer, Lusa Mina showed a distressed look.
"Because of the suddenness of the incident, my daughter was accidentally touched by Void Id, not only did she have amnesia, but she also left a shadow in her heart, unable to touch the elf......"
Then Zhengse said: "If Mr. Yan Xia has a way, please tell me, for my sake, as a mother." ”
Xia Yan lowered his eyes and groaned slightly.
"I'd like to see the eldest lady first, okay?"
Lusa Minay didn't refuse.
It didn't take long.
As a door opened next to the office, an old man dressed in a housekeeper's costume and wearing a monocle walked in, leading a little girl with a somewhat pale face who looked like a frightened rabbit.
A girl in a white dress, with long blond hair like Lusa Mina, and a face as delicate as a doll, is Lusa Minay's daughter.
Lilia!
At her side, along with the little boy in suspenders and a shirt, was Lusa Minay's son.
Gragio!
"Mother." Lilia whispered softly to Lusamina.
"Mother, Liliai's condition is getting worse and worse." Gragio said.
Distress flashed in Lusamina's eyes, and she walked over to Lilia's side and hugged her into her arms.
"Lilia, you'll be fine."
Natsuhiko approached.
When Lilia saw Natsuhiko, she drilled into Lusa Mina's arms with some fear.
Gragio even stopped directly in front of Lilia, with a serious expression, "Who are you?" ”
"Gragio." Lusa Minay shouted, pulled Gragio aside, looked at Xia Yan who was squatting down, and asked, "Mr. Yan Xia, ...... you look?"
Natsuhiko didn't bother with Gragio.
frowned.
"Theoretically, even if you are touched by the Void, or even parasitic, you will not have amnesia and will not be able to touch the elves."
"That ......"
Xia Yan's eyes flashed without a trace of superpowers.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zaobo, who was standing there with an unnatural expression.
This means.
He cooked.
But Zaobo seems to be doing it for the first time, not skilled enough, not thorough enough.
Natsuhiko took out the Poké Ball.
Red light.
"Whew~~"
The snow-white little six-tails were summoned by him.
As soon as he appeared and saw so many people, the six tails were still a little unaccustomed to it, and went into Xia Yan's arms.
But when Lilia saw such a cute elf as Ice Sixtails, her little face showed yearning.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took it back.
It's just that his eyes kept sweeping over the six tails who were sprinkled in Xia Yan's arms.
Xia Yan saw her performance.
"Yes." He nodded solemnly.
"But I need time."
Hearing this, Lusa Minay showed joy.
"Really? Please sir be sure to help my sister. ”
The most excited was Gragio, who was an eyewitness to the whole thing.
But unfortunately, Lusa Minay didn't take some of the words of Gragio, a child, very seriously.
Especially with Zaobo stirring up trouble next to him.
And Zaobo next to him, his expression was a little strange at this time, and he couldn't hold back.
But it's a pity that no one pays attention to him now except for Xia Yan.
"Bi Ke, help Mr. Yan Xia arrange a place to stay in the paradise." Lusa Minay said to Bico.
"Okay, Chairman."
Then he looked at Xia Yan, and his eyes became a little meaningful.
"Please stay a few more days, Mr. Yanxia, and we can have some time to talk about some recent events on Ula Ula Island, I am very interested in some information."
Xia Yan grinned, "Okay." ”
He's an informant?
It is estimated that the day after leaving the Aether Foundation, an investigation into his identity began.
The establishment of a branch of the Hunters' Guild on the island of Ula Ula will certainly not escape Lusa Mina's investigation.
The meaning of her words is very clear.
You help me cure my daughter, I help you build your guild branch, and maybe even cooperate in the future for mutual benefit.
After all.
It's just that the Aether Foundation is in the name of protecting elves, but she Lusa Minai has her own attachment to all kinds of elves.
Some of the abilities of the Hunter Guild are just in line with some of Rusa Mina's goals and requirements.
