This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 348: Abundance is the gift of life
Mount Lanakira, the highest peak in Alola.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow, steep and cold. It doesn't look like a tropical island at all, but instead highlights the scenery of the north.

Contrary to Filio's expectation, Capu Moo's destination was not the rich ruins of his own temple, but this lonely peak that was still inaccessible for the time being.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can vaguely see a few workers wearing thick coats looking around along the rugged mountain road about halfway up the mountain.

Filio, who was familiar with the establishment of the Alola Alliance, knew very well that they were conducting preliminary exploration for the construction of the Alola Alliance headquarters.

In the near future, this mountain, which is too cold to look like Alola, will serve as the center of the eighth Pokémon League, taking on the important task of leading the development of this historic and unique region.

But at this time, it was still full of desolation and the harshness of nature.

With Filio jumping off the back of the Tyrannosaurus, who still didn't understand why, Capu Moo walked slowly and leisurely in the ice and snow, not affected by the cold wind at all, but seemed to be in high spirits.

During the twists and turns, the cold wind that hit my face gradually subsided and was replaced by a hint of warmth.

Just a stone's throw away from the cold land, there is a new world hidden in the snow.

It is a small valley that is spring-like all year round due to the flowing underground hot springs. It is also the "secret paradise" of Kapu Moo.

Lush flowers, plants and trees are scattered everywhere at the bottom of the valley. At first glance, they are a bit messy. However, upon closer inspection, they actually have a different charm. They coincide with the trend of the valley, embellish each other, and have a unique beauty.

The melted ice and snow from the top of the mountain merged into a gurgling stream, running through both ends of the valley, nourishing the ubiquitous vegetation, and also allowing the fruit trees on both sides of the waterway to grow particularly strong, even for someone like Filio who is used to Abe's special supply. Even if you look at it with a critical eye, you should secretly applaud it.

In the deepest part of this small world hidden from the world, Kapu Moo was leaning lazily on a big rock, and with a smile on his face, he asked Philio about the content of the "big test" - for it Make a delicious dinner.

Not as part of a tour of the archipelago, but as a "willful request" of the patron saint himself.

Facts have proved that there is always some kind of vague, subtle but unbreakable connection between foodies and cooks.

Even if they don't know each other, there will always be an implicit perception, and they will always try and succeed.

Faced with such a "test", Philio was slightly surprised at first, then he laughed dumbly, touched his belly that was indeed slightly hungry, and accepted it happily.

It's just a small thing to make for one more person, which is nothing to him, not to mention that there is such an excellent "ingredient library" for him to choose at will. Not to mention him, even if an experienced chef like Zhimi comes over, You may also feel itchy hands.

Striding into this strange and abundant fruit forest, surrounded by a dazzling array of rare fruits, Filio only thought for a moment and came up with a plan for a meal that was somewhere between dinner and midnight snack.

Smiling eyes showed confidence and determination. While strolling in the courtyard, the big-mouthed boy and the wind fairy, who consciously acted as assistants, had already picked up two "hills" of fruit. The air was also filled with a faint mixed aroma, which made people laugh. The index finger moved.

When he walked back to Kapu Mo Mo, he hadn't started cooking yet. Just the aroma of the tree fruits had aroused everyone's greedy minds awakened by the battle. Under the clear night, the appetite was burning. It was out of control, and I was mentally and physically prepared for a delicious meal that was not planned.

He tied on his apron skillfully, took out a variety of kitchen utensils, and carefully took out the new tree fruits that Abe had flown in not long ago from his backpack. Filio raised a smile, and the undoubted reserve of a chef flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to show off the greedy and sleepy guy in front of him and teach his taste buds a good lesson.

With sharp eyes and six directions, his hands are as agile as dancing. An "improvisation" that is both cooking and art begins on the top of unknown peaks.

The fragrant sweet fragrance fills the forest.

It's not the sweetness of industrial flavors, but the refreshingness of nature's uncanny craftsmanship.

Uncharacteristically, the daring Philio, who is a skilled artist, did not use his best cooking technique. Instead, he went in the opposite direction and applied the energy cube production method - the mixed reaction of juice - to Pokémon. Meal preparation in progress.

Using Abei's special super-large pomelo fruit as the main ingredient, combined with the sweet and refreshing juice made from a mixture of Yuzhu fruit and mango, cooked and sliced, it becomes a delicious late-night snack that is sweet from the inside out. Padiya and Carlos double specialty of candied fruit.

In addition, before setting off in the morning, I specially made a few extra Akara-style fruit pies at Lizzy's house for dessert, and kiwi fruit tea, which is a mixture of four different flavors of tree juice.

It has both the intoxicating extreme sweetness and the rich texture created by the superimposition of flavors. In addition, the refreshing sour and sweet mixed flavors just offset the negative effects of sweetness and relieve the fatigue and sleepiness of the whole day. Washed away with just the right amount of sourness.

Not only that, the mixture of tree juice and sap is sublimated again under the influence of high temperature. Even if it is not deliberately done, it is not inferior to the high-grade energy cubes, achieving a subtle harmony between nutrition and taste.

Faced with rare delicacies on the island, as a senior gourmet - a real gourmet who is far from being comparable to a pure glutton like Kapu Mingming, Kapu Moo Moo didn't wait for Filio to finish the meal. The introduction in front of me was like a wind and lingering cloud, waving my strong arms, eating deliciously, and eating with a smile on my face.

The alluring aroma and the devouring food also aroused the greed of several other Pokémon. After a violent shock that was not much weaker than the battle, the dining table almost turned into a battlefield, and laughter could not be heard.

Seeing that his companions were eating with gusto, Filio was also slightly proud of himself. He proudly stood by the dining table with his hands folded, waiting for Kapu Moo's reply.

Sensing Filio's gaze and noticing that his eating posture seemed a little less reserved, Kapu Moo's face turned red and he put down his plate pretending to be calm, then slowly raised his head and looked at Filio calmly.

"Bru!"

With a concise whisper, the picky patron saint could not give a negative answer and simply announced that Philio's meal had passed the test.

But then, a narrow smile flashed across its eyes, and it took out the dinner plate from the corner, which had deliberately left a small piece of fruit uneaten from the beginning, and placed it in front of Filio's eyes, and tapped it gently. , motioning for him to try it himself.

"Bru! Bru!"

This is not the best state.

The meaningful look conveyed such a message to Filio.

After pondering for a moment, Philio took out his fork, put a piece of pomelo fruit of just the right size into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

As expected, there is indeed a gap between the ultimate experience of the master-level formula that I dreamed of.

Although it was already much stronger than the high-level cube, it was still one level behind. This was something he and Kapu Mingming had been thinking about before but couldn't find any results.

"click"

A fruit core rolled off the dining table and landed in the soft, fertile soil.

"Bru!"

With the feeling of reciprocating the favor, Kapu Moo activated his divine power, and the green energy enveloped the fruit core.

In the blink of an eye, the small core was buried in the ground, sprouts broke through the ground, and grew rapidly.

In just three to two minutes, from scratch, the fruit core turned into a tall but tall fruit tree.

The dense branches exuded vitality, but only one fruit was produced, lonely but heavy on the branch.

Kapu Momo stepped forward, raised his hand to take it off, and bit into it. The juice overflowed and it exuded an attractive fruity aroma.

"Bru!"

With a calm smile on his lips, Capu Moo handed the uneaten fruit to Filio.

"This……?"

"Elu~!"

Before Philio had time to eat, the wind fairy who smelled the fragrance rushed over and took a big bite of the fruit, filled with joy.

However, instead of cheering with joy, the handsome little face was twisted into a ball, with a small grin, and could not even make a sound.

Filio frowned slightly, took the fruit from the hand of the wind fairy who was about to cry, and took a bite.

"click"

Sure enough, under the fragrant smell, the pulp has become extremely sour, with a lingering bitter taste.

No matter the texture or taste, it is completely different from the wafting fruity aroma.

"Bru."

Kapu Mo Mo swallowed the fruit pulp with a normal expression, looked at the thoughtful Filio, and nodded seriously.

Through this little tree fruit, it is sending a simple and clear signal to Philio.

More of everything in the world is not better, nor is perfection the ultimate.

Everything should not fall into the vortex of utilitarianism, especially food.

It seems to be the most lazy and uncontested, but it actually speaks very philosophical words.

This is not a complicated matter, and it is something Philio has understood very early on, but it seems to have opened the window paper in front of him and slightly dispelled the fog of seeing flowers in the fog.

The bright eyes showed a different kind of brilliance, and the fruit in the palm of his hand became clean in a few mouthfuls.

The sour pulp seems to have a sweet and crisp taste at this moment, stimulating the inspiration in the heart.

He patted his butt and stood up. Seeing that Filio had already understood something, Kapu Mo Mo nodded happily and took the initiative to step forward.

The big hand shaped like a cow's hoof slapped his shoulder hard, and also pulled up the little sheep who was still pretending to gain sympathy.

"Bru!"

The meal to repay the kindness has been completed, and it’s time to go to the Fertile Ruins and prepare to absorb the island’s aura.

"Elu!"

As soon as he heard that he could absorb the aura of the island, the wind fairy, who had just flattened his mouth and was about to cry, immediately turned into a harmless person. He climbed up to the lid of Kapu Mo Mo's head with a smile and tapped it gently without noticing anything.

The good-tempered Kapu Moo didn't care. He felt kind to the familiar aura of the wind fairy, and his good feelings grew spontaneously.

The red roof has become a playground for the wind fairies to play.

In this snowy paradise that survives due to nature's preference, joyful laughter lasts forever.
-
The gentle wind blows along the coast, blows up the hills, and sets the clock.

Turn around and see the rich ruins full of life.

Kapu Mo Mo and the wind fairies, one big and one small, sat on the ground directly in front of the statue, silently absorbing the island's aura and the purest natural power.

There is no special brilliance, just natural fluctuations and ups and downs like breathing, just like the earth is also rhythmic.

Not far away, Filio also crossed his legs and sat on the stone floor, but he was not looking after Capu Moo and the wind fairy in the distance.

He was sitting in a small triangle with Emperor Nabob and Sun Eevee, staring at a small pile of tree fruits placed in front of him.

When I worked with Kapu Mingming to conceive the master-level general-purpose energy cube, I used the ratio in front of me.

No matter from any angle, this formula is extremely exquisite. Seven kinds of tree fruits are mixed with each other in clever proportions, fully stimulating the compatibility between different tree fruits.

It can be said that every ounce of energy has been utilized to the extreme without any wastage, fully stimulating all the vitality contained in the fruit.

But it's not enough. It's completely different from the surprise when tasting the master energy cube.

A slight difference is a thousand miles away.

Kapu Moo's inspiration pointed out a way for him, but did not let him see the end of this road.

The illusion of smoke and mirrors disappears, replaced by an elusive uncertainty.

The strange taste of the instant tree fruit last night seemed to still remain in his mouth. Filio kept thinking about it, and he picked up an energy cube and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was a wonderful experience with no faults at first, but soon, this beauty became pale and monotonous under the influence of some special magic.

This was something he didn't realize in the past, and it was also a loophole that he couldn't detect by only eating a little bit at the edge every time.

The delicate eyebrows were raised slightly, and a flash of light flashed through Filio's mind.

"Swish"

At this moment, Kapu Mo Mo seemed to have eyes behind his back. He raised his hand without looking back, and a wooden jar flew over. It looked heavy.

"Enpei!"

Emperor Nabo quickly stood up, hurriedly took it, and placed it in front of Philio.

Taking a closer look, the jar is full of fresh honey.

This is the dessert that Kapu Moo Moo asked for from Three Bees in the Ulaula Garden not long ago when he was out for fun.

The best three bees honey.

With a gentle pick of his fingertips, the thick but not muddy honey was brought into his mouth. It was just a small amount, but it made Filio feel more intimate.

The sweet taste and fragrant smell are exactly the same as the memories in the reserve.

"Lanka!"

The dozing Ankylosaurus smelled the scent that made it feel happy when it was a baby. It woke up instantly and flew over with a big mouth grinning.

After taking one gulp, his eyes suddenly lit up and his saliva began to secrete rapidly unconsciously.

Philio raised his hand with a smile and touched the head of his little dinosaur, his words were full of memories:

"This was your favorite dessert when you were just born. Sure enough, the things you liked when you were a child will have a taste that you will never forget for the rest of your life."

"Lanka! Lanka!"

The Ankylosaurus nodded vigorously, licking the remaining honey at the corner of its mouth with aftertaste, its eyes eager.

"You guy, you've grown so big and you're still greedy!" Filio scolded with a smile, and handed the jar over angrily. Seeing it gobbling up the food, he joked, "When I was a child, I ate Heisei like this, and those two The little bears ate together and became so fat that they almost couldn't get out of the hole."

"Lan...Lanka!"

The Ankylosaurus, which was focused on "fighting" with the honey, was greatly embarrassed, but it did not want to part with the honey that was close to its mouth. It could only look at Philio complainingly, and vaguely retorted in the teasing eyes of its friends, but it could not Not very convincing.

Philio didn't care about it and said to himself:

"You guys are so greedy, but you can't taste the deliciousness of this honey."

"It's a pity that the hard work of the three bees falls on you." "Although this is just the simplest nectar, it actually takes a lot of effort to blend..."

Halfway through the words, Philio suddenly froze on the spot, looking straight at the Ankylosaurus, which made it feel a little frightened, and reluctantly handed over the jar.

"I see what's wrong!"

He stuffed the wooden jar back into the Staff-Tail Scale Ankylosaurus, then Filio slapped his thigh and stood up.

Under the surprised eyes of his companions, he walked straight to the pile of fruits, took out most of the rare fruits, and took out two ordinary pomelo fruits from the bag with his backhand.

Even the ones I picked casually in the orchard of Kapu Moo last night were completely different from the treasures carefully cultivated by Abe. They were also stained with dust, and they looked like ugly ducklings among the swans.

But Filio didn't care about this. He quickly took out the chopping board and the energy cube making machine, and started the assembly work in three steps.

Soon, the light of superpower flashed in the ruins, intersecting with the clear light green light on the wind fairy's body.

Kapu Moo, the old god, was sitting on the ground, his upper body swaying slightly, and the bell also rang softly.

There is no more dazzling skills that have become almost instinctive in the past, and no superpowers are used to try the ultimate reaction.

His movements became standard, smooth and meticulous, as if he had returned to the stage of a beginner, with every step filled with caution.

Many years after receiving the title of "robot" with his powerful superpowers, he once again chose the skills he first learned from Miria.

The roar of the energy cube making machine was endless.

The remaining tree juice on the chopping board is naturally mixed together, and the aroma is light and slightly sour.

It's like a pure white canvas stained with specks of stains.

After a while, the noise and trembling of the machine calmed down, and beads of sweat appeared on Filio's arms and forehead.

"click"

The lock was opened, and the lid slowly opened with a hint of steam, revealing dozens of energy cubes with a very simple appearance.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is not as beautiful as Philio's previous high-end energy cubes that were very good-looking. It can even be said to be a bit dusty.

The fragrance is lingering, and the whole body is not round and flawless, but has small "patch".

"Enpei?"

Emperor Nabo, who was working next to him, came forward to take a closer look, and looked at Philio in confusion.

Sun Eevee jumped up and landed directly on its shoulders. He raised his front paws and patted his little flesh pads lightly.

"Buy!"

It has superpowers and feels it most clearly. These plaques are not impurities in the square, but quite the opposite.

They are the real highlight of this production.

Expectant eyes focused on Filio, his slender tail swaying slightly, swinging back and forth in the air.

Philio smiled and nodded, picked up the towel, and wiped his sweat with a slight tiredness, then freed his hand and raised an energy cube to the sun.

Hazy sunlight falls from the skylight and onto the mottled and rustic square surface.

In the blink of an eye, the "impurities" on the surface miraculously dissipate, and the dusty surface glows with a new luster.

Crystal clear, like a bright emerald.

"Bru!"

Just as he was about to take a bite, Kapu Moo suddenly turned around with a smile and opened his big mouth.

Filio, who understood the situation, threw the block over and it swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, green grass sprouted from the bare ruins, bringing a burst of vitality.

The God of Fertility is in a good mood.

"Machi~!"

Seeing this miraculous effect, the dream monsters couldn't restrain their inner expectations and surging appetites, and swarmed forward.

In an instant, the cube, which was even slightly steaming, was eaten clean.

With happy expressions on their faces, the friends patted everything around them, like greedy children begging for a new round of delicious meals.

Even the always reserved Sun Ibrahimovic is no exception.

"You guys..."

Smiling fondly, Filio picked up the last small piece that was specially left and threw it into his mouth, making a beautiful arc.

Before continuing with production, he also wants to try it and analyze whether there is room for improvement.

"Elu!"

At this moment, the wind fairy, who was supposed to be focusing on absorbing the island's aura, suddenly woke up, screamed, and flew over.

From the corner of his eye, Philio saw the despair in its eyes, as well as a few drops of tears.

Although it is pretend.

Unfortunately, the laws of physics do not depend on human will, and the rotating cube fell steadily into his mouth.

"Elu!—"

A pitiful cry echoed in the ruins.

The charming jasper-like light of life is constantly moving.

"Ai Lu! Ai Lu Ai Lu!"

"Ah"

The delicate little face was tensed up, and the restless mouth was chewing and complaining endlessly.

The wind fairy, who had missed the first batch of energy cubes, sat angrily by the wall. Beside it, there were several empty boxes of various sizes piled up.

Threads of green energy penetrated from the ground and poured into its petite body, continuing its unfinished absorption.
In the distance, Philio was still working hard in front of the machine, with flowers of all sizes covering his body.

There is no doubt that this is the little sheep's revenge.

Half out of anger, half out of genuine hunger.

The anger of nature, which has no power but makes people feel uncomfortable all over, is naturally formed in anger.

"Maki! Maki~!"

The friends headed by the little dream demon feasted happily, their faces full of excitement for watching the excitement and not being afraid of trouble.

Only Taiyang Ibrahimovic showed a helpless expression.

There is also the smiling Kapu Moo.

In a happy mood, it was standing next to the machine, gesticulating and telling its suggestions for improvement.

Although they are not cultivators, senior gourmets often have professional qualities that are self-taught, just like an expert Party A.

Philio nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and became more and more familiar with the movements of his hands, constantly striving for excellence.

In a moment of leisure, he took advantage of the machine to dissipate heat, took a deep breath, picked up a towel and wiped it, then turned to look at Kapu Moo Moo.

"Why are you helping me like this? This is the first time we have met. You may not know that a master-level energy cube is a truly priceless treasure, not to mention the most precious and versatile one."

For fear that the other party would not understand, he deliberately emphasized the priceless treasure and looked seriously.

"Bru! Bru!"

Kapu Moo didn't seem to care about this, and just looked at Filio seriously, saying it was natural.

This is its island, so it is its responsibility to protect it.

Philio's eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled suddenly, his eyebrows crooked in laughter.

This answer far exceeded his expectations and made him realize for the first time the true meaning of "Guardian Saint of the Island".

Kapu Moo Mo and its three companions, although they have different personalities, have truly been the same for hundreds of years.

They are not only fulfilling their promise with the Sun and Moon Gods, but they are also taking action to protect their own island and the creatures on the island, just like the literal meaning.

But before he could express his respect, Kapu Moo, who had looked indifferent just now, touched his belly in embarrassment.

"Guru..."

A light ringing like a dinner bell came from its round belly, telling the reality of its emptiness.

"Bru! Bru!"

With a blush on his face, Capu Moo lowered his head and asked Filio if he could make more of these delicious cubes and keep them.

There is also an improved version of the tree fruit we ate yesterday!
Thinking of last night's supper, it specially added.

Facts have proved that not only is the island's guardian angel responsible, but greed may also be one of the important reasons.

Filio smiled, waved his hand, hugged Kapu Moo, and said cheerfully:
"In the future, if you want to eat the energy cubes I made, you can always find Modan and ask him to tell me. I will send it directly to you without charging you. The portion will be enough!"

Although he has not yet turned the new formula into a beloved alliance currency, his confidence is no longer as strong as usual, and he rarely shows a somewhat heroic look on his face.

"Blu!!!"

Capu Moo Mo was overjoyed and immediately turned his back on the guest, picked up Filio and lifted him high.

The cheerful bells kept ringing.

"Elu! Elu!——"

Such an affectionate gesture made the wind fairy who was still in the corner feel jealous and a little more in danger.

With a loud shout, without caring about eating, the possessive little sheep flew up again, landed on Kapu Moo, squeezed it away, and hugged Filio himself.

Not only that, as if it thought this was not enough, it grinned and made faces at Kapu Moo.

It looked so much like a child protecting food that Kapu Moo couldn't help laughing. He smiled and turned into a small flower, which was dotted on the wind fairy's head.

"Ai... Lu?"

Blinking her golden eyes, the wind fairy, whose entire body was pressed against Filio, realized something.

His little face suddenly turned red and almost steamed up.

"Elu!—"

Today, it was another defeat for the little sheep.

But why do we say "again"?

This may be another issue.
-
Hezhong, an unknown mountain peak, a group of members of the Evernight Organization are working hard to dig a cave.

The man in black stood in an open space not far from them, still wearing a mask, and his whole body was filled with low pressure, which made people feel more depressed than usual.

It's like the brief calm before the storm.

He was being briefed by Sage.

Looking at the bustling work site in front of him, and hearing the shock hidden under Sachi's calm words, he felt a little uneasy.

Although he was unwilling to admit his mistake, it turned out that a serious problem had grown up under his eyes through countless threats and games, large and small.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around, walked to a distance accompanied by several subordinates who were closely following him, and whispered:

"You're doing a great job. I'll rush over as soon as possible. You still follow the original plan and let Suixing and Partners prepare. Don't skimp on resources, but be sure to keep a low profile and don't alert others."

As he spoke, his cold gaze lowered downwards, with an elusive depth and depth.

The glimmer of humanity is hard to find, but it is not like gods and beasts, but filled with twisted darkness.

After hanging up the phone, he waved, and a young man wearing a bamboo hat on a hot day quickly approached, leaned next to him, and listened.

The man in black whispered a few words, turned around and walked towards the giant skyship docked in the mountains, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After a moment, a slight sound came faintly from inside the ship, and then drifted away in the wind.

On the busy excavation site, the air flow finally returned to normal after a brief "stasis" with the departure of the man in black.

Even the movements are a little faster.
