Chapter 726: Plumeria Academy
Camping, picnics, observing the special elves of Padia, looking for the phantom ancient gold coins, and picking up... picking up various kinds of food.
After changing trains several times at the Lizard Station, the happy outdoor life ended after three days.
Zhou You and A Jin came to the central and southern part of Padia - Zhuotai City.
The Padia Alliance is on the northwest side of this city, and Meiliu College is located in the north.
Although he was bored with college life, A Jin still came to this college with hundreds of years of history with Zhou You.
Unlike in the game, this college teaches not only knowledge about elves, but also covers various modern subjects.
The boys' uniforms are purple and the girls' uniforms are red.
Looking a bit rustic, A Jin complained that students should look like students.
For example, keep a trendy hairstyle and wear jeans?
"Well, everyone thinks so." Anyway, Zhou You has been dissatisfied with the Padia school uniform for a long time, "At least you should wear it casually when you are outside the school."
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
After entering the familiar first floor hall of Meiliu Academy, they found that the chairman Yeci, who had received the news long ago, had been waiting for a long time.
Ajin secretly muttered: "He looks so weird."
It seems that he has mistaken Yeci's gender.
"Hello Zhouyou, I am Yeci, the current chairman of Meiliu Academy, and also the president of the Padiya Alliance. Welcome to the Padiya region from Kanto on behalf of Dr. Oak."
Perhaps expecting the other party to bring a breakthrough in Taijing research, Yeci soon and enthusiastically took the two to the Taijing Research Room in the academy.
Three scholars wearing coats and looking trendy and inconsistent with the academy were waiting for them.
"This is Dr. Futu, Dr. Olin, and Professor Claver. The three of them are the research team responsible for Taicrystallization, and they are also the members who will go to Area Zero next."
Zhou You looked at Olin and Futu who appeared in the same frame: "I am Zhou You, a student of Dr. Oak, and this is the Taicrystal Bead we mentioned last year."
As he spoke, he handed the Taicrystal Bead (white) and Taicrystal Bead (black) to Olin and Futu respectively.
"The material of this bead is very different from Taicrystal, but it can emit similar colors?"
Olin played with the metal Taicrystal Bead processed by Reshiram and compared it with the Taicrystal in the laboratory.
According to the data obtained from Dr. Oak in advance, this bead has the function of allowing the elves to enter "Taicrystallization".
Taicrystallization is a special phenomenon unique to Padia, how could it appear in other regions?
"According to the literature, the ancient Parthian Empire once traded with the Far East. Could it be that the two sides exchanged some technologies that were only known to the people at that time?"
Dr. Futu recalled the story about the "Four Disasters" in the history book: "Ancient cave explorers may have mastered far more ancient relics than modern people."
It is said that there are treasures in Area Zero, but modern people have entered the shallow layer several times without any gains.
Is it because the treasure itself does not exist, or because the ancient cave explorers have already visited the shallow layer?
Are these two beads relics of ancient Parthian?
"It doesn't look like it." Ye Ci shook her head, "Judging from the luster of these two gems, they have not existed for a long time."
And she is very familiar with Tai Jing and can conclude that these two beads have nothing to do with Tai Jing.
Zhou You secretly complained that after all, they were rubbed out by Shuanglong Hands last year.
In any case, the scholars still tested the two gems through instruments.
While waiting for the results, Ye Ci had to leave the laboratory due to busy affairs.
Professor Claver didn't seem to be very busy. He was not the principal at this time, but a professor in name only.
Seeing the three researchers talking to Qiao Qiao about things related to Tai Crystallization, the idle Ajin walked around the laboratory and soon found that there was someone in another room.
It was a little boy who looked about six or seven years old. He was spending time with an elf called Ou Jiao Mastiff. I guess he should be the child of the researcher?
The Ou Jiao Mastiff noticed the appearance of an outsider while playing, and immediately focused his attention on Ajin.
But soon it twitched its nose and smelled the particularly delicious smell on the other person.
"Hey, your nose is very sensitive. I can smell it even if I hide in the deepest part of my backpack?"
Seeing this, Ajin opened his backpack and took out the crab claws that he had not eaten in the past few days.
In an instant, the fragrance was overflowing, and the whole Tai Crystal Research Room exuded a delicious scent.
The empty-nest child's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's a hairy cliff crab claw! And it's a top-level crab claw of the treasure master level!"
A Jin secretly thought that the child was quite knowledgeable, and he shared some of the crab claws that he hadn't finished eating with Ou Jiao Ao.
It's a pity that his Pokémon is not around for the time being, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn of other Pokémon to enjoy these.
Ou Jiao Ao looked back at the child, that seemed to be its trainer?
The latter nodded: "Eat it."
Then he looked at the stranger who took out the treasure master-level ingredients with admiration: "Thank you, I'm Papa, you don't look like a student of Meili Academy?"
Those who don't wear school uniforms are definitely not students... but that's not always the case.
As one of the oldest schools in the world, the 795-year-old Meili Academy has no age limit for admission. The age range of students is quite wide, from children to adults.
Although it was once basically a royal academy that taught various noble knowledge.
But after the establishment of the Pokémon League, Meili Academy also followed the times and was the first in the world to open courses related to elves.
Nowadays, elf-related majors are gradually becoming mainstream, and some courses seem to be able to be taken with elves.
"I am Ajin, a cave explorer who will go to Area Zero for adventure later (temporary)."
Upon hearing this, Papa's face lit up, Area Zero cave explorer!
It's not that I'm interested in cave explorers themselves, but I'm very curious about the secret seasoning originally produced in the Padiya Giant Pit in Area Zero. Therefore, I repeatedly discussed with my parents and was finally allowed to follow the research team to explore Area Zero.
"Ajin, do you like cooking for elves?"
"Of course, my family has so many elves, and they never eat elf food or energy cubes."
Hearing this, Papa felt that it was hard to find a soulmate!
In fact, it was just that Ajin's family had too many elves and couldn't buy enough feed... But Ajin went to the breeding house south of Manjin City every day to work, and he also practiced a good cooking skill (limited to elf food).
Just when Papa was about to communicate with Ajin, who claimed to be a cave explorer, about cooking, the communication between the three researchers and Zhou You came to an abrupt end.
Olin poked his head out: "It smells so good, what delicious food are you making?"
In this book, Olin and Dr. Fortu are set as a couple.
