Taking a bath is really a good way to eliminate fatigue, and when he comes out of the bathroom in the room, Xia Chen can hardly feel the fatigue of the journey.

There was still the sound of rushing water in the master bedroom next door, presumably Sister Zhulan hadn't finished washing yet.

Although it is not unexpected, Xia Chen is still a little puzzled, it seems that girls generally take a lot longer to take a bath, and the same is true for Ming Yi and Ma Xiu.

I don't know why.

Stretching, Xia Chen went downstairs to prepare lunch.

After all, the price of staying at the World Champion's house for a month is to work as a chef for her, and an honest child like Xia Chen certainly wants to make his employer feel that it is worth the money.

But as soon as he went downstairs and didn't enter the kitchen, Xia Chen suddenly keenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong in the house.

But if you want to say that something is wrong, Xia Chen can't say why for a while.

In the corner of the living room, the flower rock monster stared at Xia Chen with a grin, although he was a little panicked, but it was normal.

On the couch, Lucario and Sirona are playing an elf duel, and it is still Lucario who is beaten up, and it is the same as usual.

Wait, something is wrong!

Xia Chen finally discovered the anomaly.

Isn't Sirona still taking a shower upstairs?

Who's sitting on the couch?

Xia Chen was shocked, and his first reaction was that there was a burglar in the house, but after thinking about it, he found that the possibility of this situation was almost zero.

Let's not talk about which thief is so daring to visit the home of the Sinnoh champion.

Even if he had, he would still be able to sit on the couch and play games with Lucario as if nothing had happened?

Shouldn't it be Lucario fighting a thief?

And now this scene does not appear, and the person sitting on the sofa should be an acquaintance of Sirona.

The vigilance gradually let go, Xia Chen looked at the back on the sofa, and found that she was indeed much worse than Sirona.

Although they were both thick and beautiful blonde hair, Sirona's was softer, and strands of hair spilled down her shoulders like a waterfall.

The one in the living room was even more fluffy, even too fluffy, as if something was holding it up under his hair.

With this exaggerated hairstyle, coupled with her close relationship with Sirona, Xia Chen immediately judged who this person was.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Region, the super-powered Heavenly King, the master of the battle castle, the top super-powered person in the elven world, and Sirona's best friend.

Gardelia!

…………

But when did she come?

Xia Chen scratched his head, a little puzzled.

When she and Sirona first arrived home, she was sure that there was no one downstairs, and as soon as she went up to take a bath, she was already playing a game with Lucario?

Is it so good for superpowers to catch timing?

Spit and complain, there are guests at home, and Xia Chen is not easy to say hello and go into the kitchen to cook.

So he walked to the back of the couch and waited silently for Gadelia and Lucario to finish the game before talking to her.

Gardelia's game level is much higher than Sirona's, and it even seems to be on par with Xenbu.

According to the strength of Xenbu> Sirona > Lucario, Lucario is not Gadelia's opponent at all.

Xia Chen stopped for less than half a minute, and the blue-black dog on the screen was immediately sent away by a neat spiritual wave from the artificial cell egg.

Gadelia stretched comfortably and suddenly asked, "Hasn't Sirona finished her bath?" ”

Obviously, this was certainly not for Lucario.

Xia Chen was quite speechless, and the question was asked as if I was washing with Sirona.

He felt that a direct answer might cause a misunderstanding, so he deliberately asked, "Is Miss Gardelia asking me?" ”

Gardelia picked up the black tea on the coffee table, took a sip elegantly, and then said slowly, "Otherwise? Didn't you just come down from upstairs? ”

Xia Chen was speechless for a while, so he had to reply: "Well, Sister Zhulan hasn't finished washing yet, I'll come down to cook first, Miss Jiadeliya wants to stay and eat together at noon?" ”

Cordelia turned her head, her blonde hair fluttering in the wind, and her delicate face was even more delicate.

There was no expression on her face, she just looked at Xia Chen with blue eyes.

"Shall I go?"

There was no joy in Gardelia's clear voice, but it didn't look like a joke.

Xia Chen hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered.

Why are you so aggressive?

said so, but Xia Chen more or less knew the character of this eldest lady.

…………

Unlike Sirona, who is an iceberg beauty on the outside, but gentle on the inside, she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, this super-powered king of the United Nation region is as cold and arrogant as she is on the outside.

As far as Xia Chen knows, Gardelia was born in a famous family in the Sinnoh region, and has had powerful but difficult to control superpowers since she was a child.

This eldest lady is also a battle maniac with a strong desire to win.

But unlike ordinary children who cry after losing a match, if Gardelia loses the match, it will cause her superpowers to lose control and cause great damage, so she was banned from fighting for a while.

Forbidden to fight because the trainer was too strong, Gardelia is also the first person in history

In the fourth generation, she appeared as the owner of the castle in the game, but since she was not able to control her superpowers at the time, the battle was fought by the butler Shi Lan.

Perhaps wanting to change herself, Gardelia later came to the United States on her own.

After cultivating, she has now mastered her superpowers and has become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Region.

Speaking of which, there are many similarities between Gadelia and Sirona.

This eldest lady is also quite young, she is even two years younger than Sirona, but her strength is already very close to the ceiling of the current trainer.

In addition to their age, the same amazing beauty, strength proportional to beauty, and a thirst for victory are all things they have in common.

It's no wonder that the two of them can become best friends

……

Retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen patiently asked, "So, Miss Gardelia, do you have any preferences for the taste of food?" ”

After all, he is one of Sirona's closest people, and Xia Chen doesn't want to make the relationship with Gadelia so stiff, not to mention that he still has the intention of asking the other party for superpowers.

The big husband can bend and stretch, bend a foot now, and maybe he can stretch a foot in the future.

After all, Gadelia is not a bad lady, or maybe she and Xia Chen have the same thoughts, and after groaning slightly, she said: "Be light, I see that what you do in the video is too oily." ”

Xia Chen was surprised, this eldest lady is also my fan?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Gadelia said in a flat tone: "Don't get me wrong, I just occasionally click on the video that Sirona shared with me when I'm bored, and I don't pay attention to the video author himself. ”

Xia Chen's heart was even more surprised.

, mind reading!

"Also, although I have superpowers, I don't have the ability to read minds, it's just a simple micro-expression, and besides, I don't have the interest to know your thoughts."

Xia Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded politely, and turned his head before he dared to mumble slightly in his heart.

Tsk, this woman is not cute at all.

…………

Of course, the first meal after returning home should be a little richer, not to mention that there are guests at home.

Well. Although this is Sirona's home, for Xia Chen, who feeds the whole family without hunger, the place where he and the elves are is home.

So Sirona's house = my house, the equation holds!

And after Xia Chen went into the kitchen and started cooking for a while, Sirona slowly came out of the bathroom with her slippers.

Zhulan, who had just finished bathing, blushed, wiped her long silky blonde hair with a towel, and walked downstairs, asking her the most concerned questions now.

"Xia Chen, what are you going to eat at noon today?"

Although she didn't have too many material desires, Sirona felt that eating Xia Chen's food had been elevated to a spiritual enjoyment.

Asking questions before meals every day has gradually become her new habit.

Although no matter what Xia Chen makes, she loves to eat.

Xia Chen, who was already cooking in the kitchen, didn't hear Sirona's inquiry, but Gadelia, who was sitting in the living room, heard it clearly.

She looked at Sirona at the top of the stairs silently, the resentment hidden in her eyes, like a child whose favorite toy had been snatched away.

Of course, it was impossible for a large living person sitting on the sofa not to attract Sirona's attention, and when she saw the person who was coming, she was pleasantly surprised: "Gadelia? What are you doing here? ”

Gardelia lowered her eyebrows and snorted softly, "It seems that I came at the wrong time?" ”

The tone I just said was clearly expressing the mood of surprise, right?

Maybe it was infected by Xia Chen, and in the face of Gardelia's unreasonable trouble, Sirona first complained silently in her heart before comforting: "No, you came at the right time." ”

Having known Gadelia for nearly ten years, Sirona knows too well the poisonous tongue and erratic temper of her best friend.

Just like the man in a couple's quarrel, in this case, Zhulan, who has a gentle personality, will definitely take a step back first.

I don't know who made Gardelia unhappy just now, and caused me to suffer an unwarranted disaster just after I came down.

Listening to the smell of fireworks coming from the kitchen, Sirona probably had the answer in her heart.

…………

Sitting on the couch, Sirona teased the dream she hadn't seen for a long time, and chatted with Gadelia.

"During this time, I was exploring a ruin in Tianguan Mountain, and you just came back today, which is quite a coincidence. How about staying here for a while, as I just took a break from exploring the ruins. ”

Speaking of which, in the past two years, she has been busy preparing for the Sinnoh Regional Championship Challenge or preparing for the World Championship's Eight Masters, and Sirona has not seen Gadelia for a long time.

She was still very happy about her best friend's active visit.

And Gadelia was keenly aware that Sirona's words did not mention the man who was cooking in the kitchen at the moment.

She understands that in people's subconscious, the more they have to hide it, the more they have to pretend not to care.

"Yes, you can."

Gadelia nodded lightly in agreement with Sirona's invitation, and then she casually asked, "By the way, who is that young man?" ”

In fact, Jiadelia knew about Xia Chen before, her best friend paid so much attention to him, and Xia Chen did a few big things that could be called a sensation around the world, which would leave a little impression more or less.

However, what she asked was definitely not as simple as "who is he", but more like "what is your relationship with him?" ”

Of course, Sirona understands the deeper meaning of this question, but she also does not have a precise definition of the relationship between the two.

If you want to talk about netizens, right?

How can it be so good that netizens who have lived in other people's homes.

So a partner to explore the ruins together?

This is closer to the truth, after all, this is the purpose of Xia Chen's first visit to Sinnoh.

But for some reason, Sirona didn't want to define Xia Chen's relationship with her so purely.

…………

After thinking for a while, Sirona straightened the hair that covered her eyes and replied, "Well, his name is Xia Chen, he is a friend of mine, and he is also a trainer that I am very optimistic about, plus a chef with great skills. ”

Although the relationship between friends is broad and perfunctory, it is the best answer at the moment.

But it doesn't matter what the answer is.

Gadelia knew in her heart that she must have something hidden in her heart if she had to think about such a simple question for so long!

Just as she was about to continue asking, Sirona's next sentence blocked her mouth.

"Oh, by the way, he's just like you, he's a superpower."

Gadelia was stunned, superpowers?

Walk with you!

Although there are not only two superpowers in this world, there are definitely at least hundreds of them in total.

But with the huge total population base, this small group of people is nothing.

So it's quite rare to meet a human who is also a superpower, and Sirona's words immediately aroused Gadelia's curiosity.

"How's his superpower? Is it powerful? ”

Sirona shrugged her shoulders and replied: "Compared to you, it is definitely not powerful, if it is divided according to the strength level of the elf, it is almost at the amateur level, after all, his superpowers have not awakened for long."

Gadelia interrupted suddenly, "I didn't wake up for long. What is the meaning? ”

Sirona replied as a matter of course: "That means he probably awakened four months ago with superpowers." ”

"How is this possible?" Waves rippled on Gardelia's calm, watery and delicate countenance.

She said incredulously: "All superpowers are innate, and generally speaking, they show up in infancy, and I have never heard of anyone who suddenly awakened to superpowers in their teens!" If this is true"

Gadelia suddenly fell into deep thought.

Gardelia's affirmative tone made Sirona stunned, although she was a master in elven warfare, she only knew a little about the unfamiliar field of superpowers.

This bit of information was even learned from the fact that he had a good relationship with Gardelia.

It can be said that Gadelia is a Taishan Beidou-level existence in the superpower field, and what she says is no different from authority.

But on the other hand, she has really seen Xia Chen's superpowers.

This two-sided conflict problem made Sirona a little difficult for a while.

…………

Gadelia didn't let Sirona continue to struggle, she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'll try it later." ”

Sirona quickly dispelled her best friend's thoughts, and she was quite speechless and said, "Don't, I live in this house well, and I don't want to change it yet." ”

Who is Gardelia?

It was an existence that was so angry that he lost the game when he was a child.

Of course, that was definitely not her intention, but because of emotional instability, the superpower was out of control.

Because of her uncontrollable superpowers, she has hurt many innocent people and elves.

For this reason, her childhood and even her adolescence were spent in pain and self-blame.

Gadelia's current temperament is so lonely and cold, almost all thanks to the unbearable past.

Then again, now that superpowers can be controlled and exercised through some kind of cultivation means, Gardelia's destructive power is only even stronger.

The phrase "the trainer is warming up" is not necessarily a joke when it comes to her.

Therefore, Sirona didn't dare to let her mess around in her own house, it would be small to collapse the house, and it would be bad if she really hurt Xia Chen.

Gadelia was quite speechless, so she had to say, "Okay, then I can communicate with me after eating, right?" ”

A superpower, or an unheard of superpower, is too interesting for Gardelia.

In comparison, the gossip between Xia Chen and Sirona seems a little insignificant.

When it came to this, Shirona could only agree.

…………

Because there is one more person and three elves today, Xia Chen's workload has increased again.

Fortunately, the three Gardelia brought with her were all elves with relatively small appetites, Dream Eclipse, Artificial Cell Egg, and Miss Goethe.

So after a little delay, at twelve o'clock, the first meal back from the ruins officially began.

At the dinner table, the middleman Sirona introduced Xia Chen and Gadelia to each other.

After greeting each other and greeting each other, Xia Chen can be regarded as officially acquainted with this superpowered lady.

The three-person game is the most embarrassing situation at the dinner table, especially for people who have just met, the two of them have a lively chat, and there will definitely be one person who will be left out in the cold.

However, this rule does not apply to the people at this table, Gadelia is quite interested in Xia Chen, Xia Chen also wants to ask the other party for the knowledge of superpower cultivation, and with the tandem of Sirona, the atmosphere at the table is quite harmonious.

Sirona snatched the last piece of sweet and sour ribs under Lucario's chopsticks, and then asked, "By the way, Gardelia, why did you suddenly come back to Sinnoh, and how long will you stay here?" ”

"Take a vacation, about a month, but I can only stay here for half a month, and I have to go home for the second half of the month, and then I have to prepare for the championship challenge."

As she spoke, Gadelia didn't forget to control her superpowers to snatch the shrimp slippery egg from the Dream Eclipse plate.

Dream Eclipse pouted the trunk of a baby elephant, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"Championship Challenge?"

Sirona raised an eyebrow in surprise, "When did the Championship Challenge in your United Regions start?" ”

After eating the shrimp egg in her mouth, Gadelia wiped her mouth elegantly, and then replied unhurriedly: "One month after the end of the Hiragaki Conference, it will probably be in March next year." ”

Xia Chen suddenly interjected, "I take the liberty of asking, Miss Gardelia, have you heard of a little girl named Alice?" is a trainer who specializes in dragon attributes, and may also have a relationship with the Double Dragon Gym. ”

"Alice?"

Gadelia searched for information in her mind, and quickly gave the answer: "Well, I remember her, a young girl who is two years older than you and is also very talented, and she already has the strength to be close to the gym level, but what do you ask her to do?" ”

"Ah, it's nothing, I heard a friend who is also a dragon specialist mention her, just ask."

After speaking, Xia Chen buried his head in eating and fell into thought.

Undoubtedly, this is again the difference between the two worlds.

Alice has two roles in the game, the owner of the Double Dragon Gym and the champion of the United Alliance.

And it was the league champion who became the winner after defeating Adek.

This matter is estimated to not be realized in this world, and there are still five months to go, and I don't want to become a champion with the strength of the gym. That's still too much fantasy.

So, will Gardelia be able to challenge Adek to succeed and become the new United Champion?

It's hard to say that before the rise of Sirona, Adek was still recognized as the strongest champion after all, and his strength would not decline too seriously in a short period of time.

And Gadelia's strength Xia Chen remembers an episode in the animation, it seems that before the start of a big match, Gadelia and Sirona played a friendly match, and the final result was a draw.

Although the results of the exhibition matches are innumerable, they can also show the strength of Gardelia to a certain extent.

So it's really hard to say how the confrontation between the old and the new will end.

But Gardelia, the champion of the United Nations, is also quite interesting.

…………

After lunch, it was time for the superpowers to communicate.

Gardelia and Xia Chen found an open space by the manor's artificial lake, blew the cool autumn breeze, and sat and talked.

"Listen to Sirona, you also have superpowers?"

Gadelia didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

Xia Chen liked this kind of straightforward communication, and he also said unequivocally: "Yes, so I also have something to ask you about superpower cultivation." ”

Gardelia smiled slightly, "Of course, if you can answer me a question." ”

Question: What is the problem that deserves such attention from Gardelia?

Xia Chen replied with some surprise: "Please speak." ”

"All the superpowers I know, no matter whether they have strong or weak superpowers, whether they can control them or not, they all have a common characteristic, that is, all people's superpowers are congenitally awakened."

Gadelia still had a faint smile on her face, "And I heard Sirona say that your superpowers are awakened, so. What was the trigger for your awakening? ”

……

The origins of superpowers have always been a mystery for Gadelia.

Of course, this has nothing to do with elves' superpowers, but only human superpowers.

This question has always been an unsolved mystery.

Many researchers have put forward various possible hypotheses due to external interference in the development of genetic mutant embryos, but because there are too few samples available for study, the experiments have not been successful.

Gadelia wondered where this ability to put her through a painful childhood that changed her life came from and where it came from.

Although even if she knew the answer to this question, she couldn't change the past, but getting the answer to this question has almost become Gadelia's obsession.

And the only boy in the world in front of him who is not born with superpowers may be the key to answering this question.
