Festival of the King of Elves

id "con793893">

Outside Baiyun City, S114 road.

The blue sky, white clouds, and gray road paved with concrete, like a snake, winding into the distance with no end in sight.

On both sides of the road, there are green grasslands, dark green mountains, and the occasional sea breeze blowing over the mountains. In this late spring morning, it is slightly cold and fresh.

The black-haired boy and the blue-braided girl were riding on the road together, with an elf sitting in front of their respective baskets, looking relaxed and happy.

"Brother Haitong, how far is Baiyun City?"

"Come on, we just rode over the Lishui Bridge. We are now within the boundaries of Baiyun City. If we ride for a few more minutes, we can see Lishui Town."

"Oh."

Xiaolan nodded obediently. She didn't know when she had given up her childish braids and replaced them with a simple long ponytail.

While riding ahead, behind the girl, a long blue horse swayed, and the boy always had the urge to catch it from time to time.

Occasionally, Haitong would speed up and ride over, then grab it lightly and pass over with a smile.

Xiaolan's baby-fat cheeks would smile as brightly as the sunflower monster on the roadside. She felt in her heart that Sister Luo Xia was indeed a good person. After obediently tying her hair into a ponytail, he should like her even more.

"Brother Haitong, do you like my ponytail?"

"Like it."

"Then do you like me?"

"Xi Xiaolan is so cute, everyone in the town likes you very much."

Haitong found that he was riding happily and in a relaxed mood in this sunny weather, but he was almost led into a pit by the little girl.

You can get married at the age of 14, let alone holding hands and kissing. There is nothing wrong with it. Boys and girls at this age are naturally like spring when flowers are blooming and love is budding. Such is their nature.

Haitong brought the topic to the past, making the girl smile so hard that her eyebrows narrowed, and she let out a series of cheerful laughter like silver bells. She pedaled hard and the wheels spun quickly.

She didn't realize the full meaning of that sentence, and there were many kinds of likes.

After all, Haitong's thoughts are several years more mature than Xiaolan's, and his outlook on things was shaped from another world, which prevents him from having any over-the-top feelings for this energetic girl. He just treats her as a cute girl next door.

It's not that 14 is too young, it's that Xiaolan is a little shorter and her face is still childish, so it's hard for him to feel excited.

The emotions of boys and girls are different, but at this time, they are all like white clouds swinging in the sky. The natural scenery outside the city will always become a beautiful memory.

After a while, the two of them saw a fork in the road.

The road sign says "Lishui Town", turn left and you will enter the town.

"Are we going in?"

"Don't go."

"Then we have to go directly to the city to challenge the gym."

"Don't go either. We elves are still weak. We should train patiently for a while first."

"Then where are we going now?"

"Do you know Normal University?"

"I know the school teacher has said that colleges with the suffix Normal are high-end schools founded by the alliance."

"Well, a high school is a teacher, and a person who is upright is a model, so it is a normal school."

Haitong told Xiaolan where he would be going for the next period of time. He planned to go to Baiyun Trainer Normal University to be an auditor, study hard for a month, lay a solid foundation, and then try to challenge the gym.

After hearing this, Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and smiled. She was absolutely willing to go anywhere as long as she could stay with the people around her.

The education system in this world, based on the eight-year primary school system, is a new law after the establishment of the Alliance. It stipulates that children aged six years must enter school for free, complete eight years of compulsory education, and acquire the basic knowledge and skills to be a screw in society.

After that, reaching adulthood at the age of 14 is often linked to becoming a rookie trainer and starting a one-year rookie journey.

After that, after the newcomer welfare period, you no longer enjoy the alliance's preferential treatment for travel, and your expenses increase significantly. Usually, people start to think about their livelihood after the trip in the first year.

Just becoming a newcomer trainer and traveling with newcomers is actually not mandatory and has no legal requirements.

What the law stipulates is that after reaching adulthood at the age of 14, all freedoms begin. Legal citizens begin to enjoy social civil rights and must also perform social civil obligations.

Children from wealthy families, or parents from ordinary families, continue to pay for their education. After primary school, they can also continue to study in college.

If you start working in society after you finish primary school, you will usually only become a basic cog at the bottom. This is a fact.

If you continue to study at university and acquire advanced professional skills, you can become a small component of the social machine with your diploma and advanced skills after four years of university graduation. You can directly manage many screws and have a naturally high social status. Wait.

But ordinary people are not without a way out. Those who dare to fight, have vision, talent and luck. In this world of elves, it is full of miracles and everyone has hope.

Some people are very talented in trainer combat and become powerful elite trainers. Just like star athletes, they will be invited to various competitions, win bonuses, and receive subsidies from the alliance, allowing them to live a life without working. subsistence living standard;

There are some people who are talented at raising elves and have simple minds, so they open an elf breeding house in their hometown, where they can have enough food and clothing, have better luck, and build a warm family;

There are some people who love the elf film industry, so after elementary school, they went to various production crews to work as screws for human stars and elf stars, honing their skills in secret, hoping that one day they can also appear on the big screen;

So many ordinary occupations that are extraordinary because of elves, vivid memories and lives are intertwined to form this peculiar world of elves and human society.

By the time we got all the way to the Elf Center in Baiyun City, we had already missed lunch time.

Fortunately, there are still vacancies, and many new trainers are still on the way to S114, catching elves, fighting, and wandering around.

Haitong is different. He has his own clear growth plan.

Ayan left to pursue the boy's dream of becoming a master who could defeat him. Haitong had no objection.

We must also speed up our growth, and we cannot lose to this boy from the same town one day.

I took Xiaolan to a nearby restaurant for lunch, including the elves' meal money. The lunch cost dozens of alliance coins.

Fortunately, my status as an honorary citizen can replenish my wallet periodically, otherwise travel expenses would be really high.

Xiaolan also encountered a different situation this time.

"We will be traveling for a long time in the future, and there are some things I want to make clear to you now."

At the dessert stage after eating the last 3 alliance coins a cup, Haitong's face was serious, and Xiaolan was inexplicably panicked and scared.

"We should aa control, Ayan is no longer here."

"Why don't I eat less?"

After hearing this, Xiaolan felt relieved and pouted, feeling that the black-haired boy in front of her looked stingy compared to Ayan.

Just for a moment, she remembered that Haitong was different from her and Ayan. The two of them had parents who sent money regularly every month. They talked on the phone every few days and asked if the money was enough to spend and whether they wanted to spend more.

But Haitong is different, he doesn't.

Thinking of this, Xiaolan wanted to raise her hand and slap her cheek hard, but she did raise her hand.

"That won't work"

Haitong had an exquisite mind and understood that she always acted faster than she thought, so he took action in advance and caught her wrist.

He stood up, sat behind her, took out a tissue and wiped her tears.

"If I have to raise a little girl like you, I can afford it even if I eat five meals a day. You have to know that honorary citizens have the status of being paid, and you are growing tall now. It's not okay to eat less. If you... When I got home from a trip, my uncle and aunt noticed that you had lost weight, so they had to blame me."

Haitong smiled softly, her voice was as usual, and Xiaolan blinked her eyes, her eyes glowing, attracting the attention of many of her neighbors.

She blushed and wanted to bury her head under the table.

"Girls can't always think about relying on boys. When Ayan was here, I didn't tell you a lot of things. Now that he has learned from those people and become stronger, I have to take better care of you. Otherwise, when I kidnap him back, he will still be blamed on me."

Haitong spoke the truth and treated Xiaolan sincerely. He did not hide the truth and explained straightforwardly: "Boys are more gentlemen and should take the initiative to take care of girls, but this is not something that girls think is natural. If That kind of girl is like a vine and can only survive by growing on other people. So Xiaolan, would you be willing to be that kind of girl?"

"Or, in your heart, you prefer to grow into an outstanding woman like Sister Luoxia."

After Haitong said these words seriously, he suddenly felt strange in his heart. According to the information he had learned, no one in the police station seemed to have heard of Sister Cheap being in love. Maybe she was a pure old girl.

Xiaolan was stunned for a while, blinked her sky-blue eyes a few times, smiled through her tears, and said decisively: "Of course, like Sister Luo Xia."

At other tables in the restaurant, there was a table of beautifully dressed women. After hearing this, their expressions changed, and they suddenly felt that the food on the table did not taste good.

Haitong saw that Xiaolan had somewhat understood what he said, and then said with a smile: "But this time, I'm treating you, so I won't remind you tonight."

The girl nodded happily, with a smile on her face and eyes, happily came in with the black-haired boy, and then happily went out together.

In the original restaurant, some male compatriots watched the young man in black sportswear leave, their eyes full of admiration.

"I'm so awesome. With this mouth, I might be able to live a life that doesn't require any effort."

"You have to practice hard."

There were also several women at a certain table who had changed their expressions. They looked at the men at the next table with disdain and started discussing loudly.

"Who is really disgusting? He is stingy and his mouth is good at deceiving a little girl."

"That's right, this kind of man is so stingy that he is destined to have no future."

"If I were a man, I would feel that I have been completely humiliated. I only have a small amount of money, and I still have to argue with a little girl."

They spoke quite loudly and unabashedly, as if they were defending themselves or convincing other people in the restaurant.

Just at this moment, the female owner of the store suddenly walked up to the table.

"Misses, please go out immediately and make loud noises in the restaurant. It has seriously affected the dining mood of other guests. If you don't leave, I will call the police."

The women were dumbfounded. Looking around at the other guests, they all looked like they were watching a monkey show. No one sympathized with them.

They wanted to criticize this unreasonable shop owner again. Why were other people talking loudly? They were just the female boss in front of them. She was the same as them. They suddenly swallowed the words and felt Not enough momentum.

So, they could only walk to the store angrily.

"Wait, you haven't paid the bill yet. I don't remember you entering the store with a male companion. There should be no one to pay the bill for you in advance or afterward."

The female boss yelled, and all the other guests in the restaurant couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The faces of these women were extremely hot. They took out a few bills and threw them away in shame and anger. They didn't even ask for change and left the restaurant as if they were running away.

The female boss walked back to the counter leisurely, looked at the backs of those people who seemed to be twisting, and spat out the door unceremoniously.

"What the hell, I'm supporting this restaurant and a couple of children by myself. No matter how hard and tired I am, I've never complained. I can't stand parasites like you."

Finally, she thought of that pair of boys and girls, and felt that they were really pleasing to the eye. If the two children in the future could look so beautiful and understand the principles of life, they would be worthy of the sick husband who died early.

"If you come back next time, I'll give you a [-]% discount."
