The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 195 195. Unmanned Mining Area
Luther, who replenished his items again in Songxue City, left Songxue City almost on the same day.

Before leaving, there was a small episode.

Luther found the location of the Broken Stone Gym and planned to ask Matsumoto for a badge.

It stands to reason that I officially won him in the battle that day, and the badge of the Broken Stone Gym should be issued to me. However, because of Sirona's reasons, I forgot about this.

The more he thought about it, the more regrettable Luther still couldn't resist the temptation of the badge, so he approached the door.

Matsumoto was very upset with Luther. Half of the reason for the closing of the Broken Stone Gym now comes from Luther.

He didn't think he was lacking in strength. He instinctively felt that Luther was not a rookie trainer like Sirona said, but due to the situation at the time, he chose to save face and did not continue to fight.

"Badge, you asked Sirona to go, she came here just now and moved the badge box away, why do you want me?"

Matsumoto didn't intend to pay attention to Luther at all, sweating profusely, hitting the wooden stake in front of him.

Luther had no choice but to accept the fact that he was slow. Although he wanted Sirona to secretly send over his own badge, he couldn't bear it.

Face is really harmful!
The road from Songxue City to the uninhabited mining area was not easy. According to the map instructions, Luther and Mai bypassed the steep mountains and basically walked in the snow-covered forest.

In this season, most of the active elves are those with excellent cold resistance and low food needs.

The elves that are not resistant to cold have already migrated to areas close to human life as much as possible, or hid in the burrows they dug themselves.

According to Luther's observations in the past two days, the most active on the snow are Serpentine Bear and Wiggle Spotted.

Even though a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, almost covering the snake bear's body, they could still easily find buried and edible berries in the snow.

Luther saw a few serpentine bears teaming up to shovel snow and look for berries on the snow more than once.

Wiggly Banner wobbled, and moved around the Serpentine Bear with dizzy steps. If other elves who wanted to interfere with Serpentine Bear's fruit digging approached, Wiggly Banner would take the initiative to step forward.

Either twist left and right in front of that elf, moving around like drunk, or take the initiative to fight off the invading elf.

This is a kind of symbiotic relationship. When the Serpentine bear is concentrating on searching for food, Wiggleban helps to protect the surrounding area. When the Serpentine Bear's search is over, Wobbleban will often take away one or two berries.

The elves with lower strength often help each other through difficult weather in this way.

On the evening of the third day after leaving Songxue City, Luther stood on the hill, holding his mobile phone, looking at the map, and comparing it with the devastated land in front of him, the uninhabited mining area where dilapidated huts abound.

It was only when he came near the mining area that Luther really felt the desolation here.

The wind and rain have corroded the crumbling wooden house, and the random scattered objects in the house have fallen on both sides of the road, leaving only the rusted shovel head, and the wooden shovel handle has long since disappeared.The rocking chair placed in the middle of the road was particularly intrusive, and Luther was almost frightened when he glanced over it.

In the past, this place was not called an unmanned mining area. When Juye was young and traveling, it was the largest gathering place near Baifeng Town.

Those who flock here because of the gold and silver veins wield hoes and shovels, struggling to dig out those charming symbols of wealth from the ground.

The elves they brought were just like them, helping with crushing, transporting, and digging. At the most prosperous time, this place was a gathering place for tens of thousands of people.

When Ju Ye passed by here on a trip, it was still a scene of enthusiasm, but the joy of harvesting wealth was a disaster for the elves living here.

Drilling down the mountain and digging holes, the endless noise from morning to night made the nearby elves restless.

Locally grown rock-type and ground-type elves rushed out of the potholes where they lived and attacked the visiting miners.

Their irascibility won them a period of stability, but the returning miners brought powerful trainers. With the help of those trainers, the local elves finally had no choice but to flee.

Juye subdued those ground-type elves who didn't know where to go, and eventually gradually walked towards the road of the ground-type heavenly king.

Back then, Ju Ye tried to prevent those people from expelling the elves from the mining area out of righteous indignation, but in the end he failed because of his strength.

Luther reported that he had asked Juye during his trip, what would she do if she were the present and saw what happened back then.

"Trying to mediate between the two parties, on a case-by-case basis, on a case-by-case basis."

Juye's answer seemed to have lost the momentum of previous years, but it was the most reasonable answer that Luther thought.

This is an unsolvable contradiction. As the area of ​​human activities expands, it is bound to come into contact and collide with wild elves.

It is normal for an elf whose territory has been violated to choose to fight back.

Is it wrong to cultivate wasteland for people who can live better?
"Hot blood is the privilege of young people. I am no longer the age where I yell and rush in and beat people away, self-satisfied, and claiming to be the savior of the world."

Juye sees it clearly better than anyone else, and now he can solve the problem by driving people away?
Can I still keep guarding the elves here?

How to solve it when other miners attack again?

Time seemed to solve all problems, and the madness of mining to get rich finally subsided.

Exhausted mineral veins and riddled land are the reasons why people leave.

For a long time, there were no elves in this land. The trainers who traveled here looked at this formerly bustling mining area, as if they had entered a chilly haunted house.

Today's uninhabited mining area seems to have no other travelers passing by, and it looks extraordinarily quiet.

Luther lit a bonfire, and the wooden house standing in the dark was illuminated by the fire, as if it had regained a little vitality.

A mountain mouse came out of the ground, and when it saw Luther and Mai, it quickly burrowed back into the ground and ran away.

After a while, the rat ran over following the smell of the food, hesitatingly looking at the circle of elves around Luther, his eyes full of curiosity.

What time can heal is the resentment that those elves had towards humans back then.

When Luther threw a piece of roasted meat to the mountain rat, the rat ate it happily.

After eating, this completely unsuspecting guy jumped up and down to the campfire, and communicated enthusiastically with Ji Lidan and the others.

If Luther thought, this is the best time to throw the poke ball, but Luther didn't do it.

Although it was delivered to the door by the mountain mouse itself, it's better to be upright.
