Hearing Liliai's request, Xia Chen was a little curious, this girl wants to become stronger?

Although she didn't say it herself, she undoubtedly meant it.

He didn't think that Lilia said this because she wanted to meet him more, because the things in her eyes were familiar to Xia Chen.

He couldn't say what it was, maybe it was firmness, and something deeper, in short, Xia Chen had also seen it in the eyes of Dawu and Nimo when they fought against him.

Maybe everyone has different reasons, but in essence, Lilia is the same person as them.

"Can I ask why?"

Xia Chen said with a smile: "Just think of it as the exam question I gave you." ”

With that, he looked at Lilia quietly, waiting for her answer.

Although the situation was beyond Liliai's consideration, she did not hesitate to answer Xia Chen's question, "Because. I have a treasure that I want to protect. ”

Xia Chen smiled.

Under the weak and gentle appearance, she is still the kind and strong Liliai

Xia Chen didn't know what the treasure in Liliai's mouth was, maybe it was a special elf, such as Xiao Xingyun; Perhaps he wanted to find his missing father; Or maybe it's something I don't know.

The words weren't convincing, but the eyes did, and though they were a bit cliché to say, he saw the light in Lilia's eyes.

Looking at the girl in front of him who had her long golden hair tied up into a high ponytail, Xia Chen nodded lightly.

"Well, you've passed my test."

"Eh-"

Liliai didn't seem to expect that the so-called "test" could be passed so easily, she looked at Xia Chen half in surprise and half with joy, her beautiful eyes were shining, and her small mouth was open and round.

Xia Chen smiled: "What, is the test not difficult enough?" ”

Lilia blushed and waved her hand, "No, no, I'm just so happy, can I call you teacher in the future?" ”

Xia Chen was stunned, "Teacher?" ”

This word is somewhat said to be light but not light, and it is not important to say heavy.

In this society, when they go out and see older people, they have to shout "master", which makes the word seem as light as a feather, but Xia Chen knows that Liliai, a more serious girl, will really treat herself as a teacher.

So, do you want to accept it?

Doesn't seem to be good.

After just a few seconds of hesitation, Xia Chen made a decision.

"Yes, during my time in Alola, I will be staying in your school's teacher's dormitory, you can go there and find me."

Liliai's nervous face finally relaxed, she smiled, nodded lightly but firmly, "Well, I understand, Teacher Xia Chen!" ”

…………

Why did you say yes to Lilia?

Xia Chen couldn't quite understand his own thoughts.

Maybe it's the natural affection for her with the blessing of the memories of her previous life, maybe it's the admiration for this kind and strong girl from the bottom of my heart, or maybe there's a little guilt for "using" Lilia to get close to her mother

In short, Xia Chen accepted his nominal first student.

There was no grand apprenticeship ceremony, and even the process was a bit child's play, but Xia Chen knew that Lilia would take it seriously, and so did himself.

After dinner, the three separated.

Before leaving, Xia Chen left Liliai's phone number and address, and Liliai's head nodded and wrote it down.

The two girls watched the backs of Xia Chen and Menas disappear into the skyline, and then began to whisper among their girlfriends.

"Ahhhh

Shuilian shook Liliai's arm again, and her tone was half envious and half jealous, "It's obvious that I came first!" ”

Liliai didn't eat her this time, and said stiffly: "There is not only one student or something, you can also talk to Teacher Xia Chen." ”

"Hmph, Teacher Xia Chen will change his name."

Shuilian was a little sour, but she didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

Because she actually knew very well in her heart that she couldn't muster up courage like Lilia.

Although anyone can say that there are treasures they want to protect, Xia Chen will never accept Liliai for this reason.

Shuilian is a delicate girl, just now Xia Chen looked at Liliai with the appreciation in her eyes, and she saw it clearly.

"So, Xia Chen is willing to be your teacher just because you are Liliai, that's all."

She murmured softly.

"Ah, Shuilian, what did you say?"

The quiet girl's voice was already soft, and she couldn't hear the words just now, Lilia asked, rubbing her face.

"It's nothing, cheer you up."

Shui Lian calmed down, and not to be outdone, she reached out and pinched it back.

In the evening, the sunset in the sky was orange and red as if it was about to drip blood, and the two girls regained their former vitality, laughing and sticking together.

It seems to be a painting with the beautiful scenery around it.

…………

Although it was only seven o'clock in the evening, the moon was already quite contentistically suspended in the blue sky.

The initial heat of the summer night has not yet subsided, and only the wind blowing from the sea can bring a hint of coolness.

Xia Chen and Lily Ai Shuilian did not rush home after separation, but wandered around the island of Merlot.

This place is much bigger than Xia Chen imagined, and it is naturally incomparable to the vast land of Donghuang, but sitting on Menas and floating in the air and looking down, it takes at least nearly a thousand meters to see the entire island.

He suddenly remembered that the Vulcan Moth had said that the powerful Evil Food King could swallow the entire island in one bite, and if it was Merlot Island, he wouldn't be able to do it, right?

Imagining the appearance of a giant beast swallowing tens of thousands of square kilometers of islands in one gulp, Xia Chen shook his head with a dumb smile, sure enough, there is no such possibility, and it is not Taile Bagos.

The topography of the island is complex, with mountains in the northeast and a dormant volcano in the northwest.

The southern plain is an area with more frequent human activities, and it is also the prosperous area of Alola, and the city of Haoole, where Xia Chen is located, is located on the southeast coast.

Speaking of which, having traveled to so many places, Xia Chen has never been to a volcano, not even the famous Chimney Mountain in the Hoenn area.

Driven by curiosity, he sent Menas to the northwest of the volcano called the Wind Forest Volcano, a dormant volcano with a very strange name.

There is a city at the foot of the volcanic mountain, called Fenglai City, which is not large in scale, and it is not even a township in Donghuang, at best it can only be said to be a village.

However, in Alola, which is sparsely populated locally, Fenglai City can be regarded as the number one "big city" outside Haoole City.

The city's main industries are plantation and tourism, and the large orchards of trees and orchards are scattered throughout the city, making the buildings seem to be a rarity.

Xia Chen looked down from a high place, and the land near the foot of the volcano was very scorched black, like traces after a forest fire.

Has this volcano ever erupted?

Xia Chen thought about it with some curiosity, but he felt that something was not right, the traces of volcanic eruptions should not be like this, it must be just an ordinary volcano, right?

Instead of staying in the city, he just took a look at it and climbed the spectacular Fenglin Volcano.

It is said to be a dormant volcano, but the whole mountain looks very quiet.

Xia Chen only understood that the so-called dormant volcano refers to a volcano that has erupted in the past and may erupt again.

Perhaps the time of that eruption was hundreds of years ago, and there is little chance of an eruption in the near future.

The Wind Forest Volcano is one such dormant volcano.

Because of this, the elves that inhabit the mountains are no different from ordinary mountain forests, and the elves that can be seen everywhere in Alola, such as the house bird Xiaoduer, the flower healing ring, and the blue mantis grass are all found here.

…………

"Speaking of which, who is the overlord spirit of this place?"

Xia Chen muttered to himself.

Overlord Elves are a phenomenon unique to Alola, which is extremely large compared to its counterparts and has a special aura covering its body, and when fighting it, it will call for its companions to provide support.

And the overlord elf in the real Alola is often only one in a region, and the rest of the elves in this area are all subordinate to it, a bit like a tribal relationship.

Of course, the Overlord Elf is also the most powerful one in this area.

It's been two days since he came to Alola, and Xia Chen hasn't seen the legendary overlord elf.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he was a little curious.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and there was no artificial light source in the mountains, and it didn't look so dim, seeing that it was still early, Xia Chen walked around here.

Perhaps because of the sparse population, the elves here are more wild than those in Donghuang.

Xia Chen walked slowly for half an hour, and many elves took the initiative to challenge Xia Chen out of naughtiness or provocation.

didn't even let Xianbu and Menas make a move, Xia Chen himself solved these guys whose strength was no more than an amateur elite.

The defeated elves all looked incredulous - they actually lost to a human?

This half-anecdote and half-horror story spread through the elven circles of the volcano, and although it was not spread on the Internet, it was whispered by word of mouth, and it was not long before the elves on the mountain knew that there was a devil muscle man here.

Xia Chen didn't care, but after "communicating" with these elves, he told them that he wanted to meet with the overlord elves, hoping that they could convey it for him.

While enjoying the scenery along the way, Xia Chen walked all the way to the top of the mountain.

He had a hunch that the overlord spirit would live on high ground.

But he didn't get halfway there, but when he reached the mountainside, a group of elves stopped him, led by an ordinary old dragon who looked a little bigger—

This general dragon elf is also a characteristic elf that mainly inhabits the Alola region, and its appearance is a bit like a brachiosaurus from the dinosaur period in the previous life.

Large, gentle and affectionate, he is one of the few friendly elves who are willing to take the initiative to communicate with humans and take care of them.

The old dragon in front of him was five meters tall, more than a meter larger than an ordinary individual, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.

…………

"So, you're the overlord spirit of this mountain?"

Xia Chen touched his chin to observe it and asked.

Old Weng Long nodded slowly, moving slowly like the sloth in Zootopia.

And when it spoke, Xia Chen knew that this guy not only acted like him, but even spoke in a somewhat similar tone.

"Mapa—(Yes, human, I'm from this volcano. Overlord Elf, please ask you. Find me what's there. Affair? ）”

A simple sentence can be finished in three or five seconds by a person who is in a hurry, and it took Lao Weng Long half a minute.

Xia Chen held his forehead, I really don't know if this guy is too old or because this kind of elf was born.

But fortunately, this did not affect the communication between the two sides, Xia Chen said: "I am a tourist who came to Alola to play, and I came here this time to see the overlord elf here, but with all due respect, you don't look too much like the overlord elf." ”

The so-called overlord elf is not only big enough, the most important thing is the "aura", although this thing sounds a bit metaphysical.

Xia Chen can probably be understood as a simplified version of the "aura realm" possessed by the legendary elves of Le Ton and Daiochis.

In any case, this old dragon looks a little too ordinary.

The old dragon didn't retort, its eyebrows slowly raised, and it took several seconds to make a surprised expression.

Then he spoke in a torturous, slow tone, "Mapa—(You can understand humans. Our elf's. Language? ）”

Xia Chen nodded helplessly, "Yes, this is one of my specialties, so let's be honest and announce some, okay?" Please introduce me to your Overlord Elves, I have no ill will. ”

Old Weng Long said slowly: "Mapa—(Don't worry.)"

, do you have a slow start, can I not be in a hurry when I talk like this?

Xia Chen finally understood the mood of the rabbit police officer in Zootopia, and he didn't care about any politeness, so he interjected patiently: "Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry, can you let me meet the overlord elf?" ”

Old Weng Long opened his mouth, "Mapa—(You see you're in a hurry. Finish. I did. I am. This area. Overlord Elf, why don't you believe it.)"

Xia Chen's expression was blank, and he decided to give up communication with Lao Weng Long.

Glancing at the elves who followed it beside it, one by one yawned listlessly, and one of the wooden owls squatting on the head of the Zhihua Monkey even fell asleep standing up!

Sure enough, even they can't stand the way the old Weng Long speaks!

However, none of these guys are honest, and they insist that Lao Weng Long is their leader.

Even if Xia Chen used the energy cube as a temptation and reward, there was no elf backwater.

This aroused Xia Chen's curiosity, originally he just thought of it suddenly, and he had the idea of looking for the overlord elf.

Now he was on a par with this overlord elf, and he made up his mind to figure out the twists and turns in it.

But no matter what, I can't figure it out tonight.

Xia Chen decided to rest for one night in Fenglai City at the foot of the mountain and come back the next day.

And just as he flew down the mountain on Menas, on the top of the mountain, an elf silently stared at Xia Chen's back, which was so small that it was almost invisible.

The pure light poured down, and its pure white hair seemed to glow in the glow.

If Xia Chen saw this scene, he would definitely shout excitedly-

I'm super! Flash Geraora!
