Chapter 121: Learning foreign languages is good, I also want to learn another foreign language
Chapter 121 It’s good to learn foreign languages. I also want to learn another foreign language.
The encounter with the future champion was just a moment in the journey. After one night, the two continued to move towards their respective destinations.
After riding north for another two days, the tired Xia Chen finally arrived at the first city on the journey, Xiangxuan City.
If the Prism Tower is the coordinate of Miare City, then the towering ancient tree in front of him, which Xia Chen can't even see when he raises his head, is undoubtedly the business card of Aroma City.
Aromatherapy City is a city with a wonderful atmosphere, but the wonderful thing is not that it makes people feel peaceful.
On the contrary, the grasslands of different colors such as tea green and lemon yellow are distributed in the city, and the pink and white flowers swaying in the wind can be seen everywhere, making the city full of wonderful vitality.
Seeing Lalu Lasi and Pink Butterfly playing happily on the grass, and even Eevee, who usually thought they were childish, joined in, Xia Chen was keenly aware that there was an aura in Aromatherapy City that inexplicably made the elves lively and restless.
Obviously, it is impossible to achieve such an obvious effect just by relying on beautiful street scene layout.
Xia Chen looked thoughtfully at the tree in front of him that was rumored to have existed for fifteen hundred years. Its origins should not be simple.
"Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, people were guided by this ancient tree and gathered to establish the Aromatherapy City~"
The melodious voice like an oriole sounded in Xia Chen's ears, and it was so moving that it seemed to attract the colorful pink butterflies in the flowers to dance.
Xia Chen turned his head and looked, and saw a woman wearing a colorful long dress with extremely wide sleeves standing beside him at some point.
The butterfly-like clothes make her figure extremely slender, and her long hair hangs down behind her like a waterfall.
The most attractive thing about her pretty face is her eyes, which are as black and bright as ink and have large pupils, occupying almost two-thirds of the entire eyes, revealing a soul-stirring beauty like a fairy.
Undoubtedly, such a conspicuous feature belongs to the master of the Aromatherapy Gym, Ma Xiu.
If I guessed correctly, she is also the netizen I want to meet [Aromatherapy Girl].
Xia Chen asked: "Miss Ma Xiu? Or, [Aromatherapy Girl]?"
Ma Xiu raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile, "You are even more handsome than you look in the video, Mr. Xia Chen."
…………
The atmosphere of the interview was not as awkward as Xia Chen imagined.
Although Ma Xiu dresses a bit unconventionally, she is very good at chatting and makes people feel comfortable getting along with her.
But Xia Chen knew that this was just the surface of Ma Xiu. She liked elves more than getting along with people. She even wanted to become an elf because she liked her so much.
It is precisely because of this that she is one of the few people in the animation who can talk to the elves in their language.
At this moment, Ma Xiu knelt down and greeted Ibrahimovic at Xia Chen's feet.
"Bu Yi——(Nice to meet you, Master Yi~)"
Ibu, who had never been to Aroma City or had any contact with Ma Xiu in his previous life, had disbelief written all over his face.
"Bu...Bu Yi! (I...I can actually understand your Elvish!)"
On the side, Xia Chen, who saw shock on Ibrahimovic's face for the first time, was also a little surprised. Judging from Ibrahimovic's expression, Ma Xiu must really be able to speak Elvish.
Damn it, I really want to have this ability too!
In this way, I can at least ask why my elves have special skills.
Hmm...wait a minute, the anime didn't say this was a superpower. In other words, maybe it can be learned?
Xia Chen looked at Ma Xiu and Yibu, who were chatting happily, and touched his chin, thinking.
I don’t know what the elf and the person were talking about. After a while, Ma Xiu’s face bloomed with a bright smile that was completely different from the standard business smile just now.
Looking at this sincere smile, Xia Chen understood a cruel fact.
It turns out that what Ma Xiu wanted to see was not herself, but Ibrahimovic!
…………
"I have no such intention of being rude, Mr. Xia Chen."
In the reception room of the Aromatherapy Gym, Ma Xiu denied Xia Chen's idea.
As for why she knew Xia Chen's thoughts, it was not because Ma Xiu could read minds, but because Xia Chen directly asked about this conjecture.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the only surefire weapon.
Xia Chen feels that for people like Miss Ma Xiu who pursue the real thing, being frank is the best way to communicate.
I just don’t know if Miss Ma Xiu responded sincerely...
Ma Xiu was stared at by Xia Chen's suspicious eyes and was speechless, "I'm serious, sometimes I envy you for being able to say what you want to say and do what you want to do, regardless of the outside world's eyes."
This statement was very consistent with Ma Xiu's character, and Xia Chen believed it.
Xia Chen gently blew on the hot tea in his hand, "Everything has a price, Miss Ma Xiu, as a world-famous fashion designer and a non-famous gym leader, it is normal for you to attract much attention. Unless
You can maintain your original intention like me."
Ma Xiu covered her face and chuckled, "The so-called Salted Fish Gym Leader?"
Xia Chen was quite surprised by this answer that only old fans knew. He smiled and said, "I believe you are my loyal fan now."
…………
"Bali——"
Xia Chen and Ma Xiu were chatting when a magic wall doll walked in with a snack and said something to Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu immediately replied: "Bali——"
Xia Chen, who didn't understand Elvish, was confused, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, elves can understand human speech, why do you have to use the language of elves to communicate with them?"
Ma Xiu smiled and replied matter-of-factly: "Because you don't understand Elvish!"
Xia Chen: "..."
It turns out it was to deliberately exclude me...
In that case, she just communicated with Ibrahimovic in a language that only she did not understand in front of her...
Why does it feel like...being attacked by a tauren in front of you?
Xia Chen's tone was a little sour, "It's amazing to be able to speak Elvish?"
Ma Xiu took a bite of the pastry and looked at him with a smile, "You want to learn from me?"
Xia Chen, who was read through right away, coughed lightly and smiled shyly, "It's good to learn foreign languages. I also want to learn one more foreign language."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Xiu agreed happily, "Yes, I can teach you."
Xia Chen smiled happily, then sat upright and said seriously: "Teacher Ma Xiu, please give me some advice."
Ma Xiu replied: "It's very simple. As long as you think of yourself as an elf, you can understand the elf language. How about it? It's very simple, isn't it?"
Xia Chen was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Miss Ma Xiu, do you still work part-time in self-media?"
What kind of bad teaching is this!
How is it different from the nonsense literature popular on the Internet?
"Everyone knows that the league champion is a very powerful profession, so how do you become the league champion? As long as you defeat all your opponents, you can become the league champion! How about it, is it very simple?"
Faced with Xia Chen's doubts, Ma Xiu said seriously: "I'm not kidding you. This is the secret of my mastering the language of elves. That day was the best day for me. I felt as if I had really transformed into an elf.
Colorful Pink Butterfly, I naturally understood what my big-mouthed baby said, and after recovering from that state, I did not lose this ability."
Xia Chen said silently, "Okay, that's cool."
…
After some conversation, Xia Chen basically gave up on learning foreign languages.
Although this ability is not as rare as the Power of Viridian, and it takes ten years for a chosen son to be born, it does not seem to be an easy task to master one day after tomorrow.
For example, Professor Ma Xiu just taught the consciousness-transforming elf language learning method. How to learn it?
There is no way to learn this!
Therefore, the matter of learning Elvish to communicate with the elves in question can only be put on hold for the time being.
After meeting the fans, Xia Chen did not leave Aromatherapy City immediately.
Ma Xiu said that the annual Shenmu Festival will be held in a few days, and it will be very lively during those days.
As the name suggests, this festival is closely related to the nearly 100-meter-tall ancient tree in the center of Xiangxuan City, which can cover an area of several square kilometers.
Every year from January 13th to 15th, the leaves of the sacred tree change.
Old leaves fall to the soil, and new leaves sprout.
People and elves will bathe under the "leaf rain", which represents the baptism of the sacred tree to the living beings to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
The most amazing thing is that this leaf rain will promote the evolution of many elves bathing in it.
Therefore, this leaf rain is also called the "gift of evolution" by local residents.
At this time of year, many trainers in the Kalos region will come from all directions with their elves to participate in this baptism.
In Xiangxuan City, the Shenmu Festival is the real Chinese New Year in the eyes of local residents.
Xia Chen had no interest in this so-called gift of evolution. Lalulas was only two months old and had not yet reached the best time to evolve.
He was looking forward to Ibrahimovic's evolution, but completing the evolution through the gift of evolution...
It always feels a bit weird. For those who don’t know, you might think that this “Evolution Gift” is the key to Fairy Eevee’s evolution?
But if it really evolved here, Xia Chen would have no problem with it.
Anyway, Xia Chen had no shortage of time, so of course he had to stay and enjoy the local special festivals.
It just so happens that during these few days of free time, I can learn with La Luras the Gardevoir cultivation experience that Kaluni just sent me.
Xia Chen thought so and slept in the female fan's home naturally.
…………
During the day, I used the gym's facilities for low-intensity training and competed with the apprentices of the Aromatherapy Gym. At night, I continued to learn Elvish language with Ma Xiu without giving up.
Xia Chen's life these days is extremely regular.
The location of the Aromatherapy Gym is right below the "Aromatherapy Sacred Tree". Although the air is fresh, you can even feel some inexplicable refreshing atmosphere emitted by the ancient tree.
But there is also a disadvantage... you can't get any sun at all!
This is simply bad news for Xia Chen, a sunbathing lover.
Therefore, he chose to ride his car to a park in the west of Xiangxuan City every afternoon and stay there until the evening before returning.
Miss Ma Xiu is busy with clothing design and daily work in the gym. She spends time in the gym almost every day and rarely goes out.
But after three days like this, Xia Chen discovered something unusual.
That is, Ibrahimovic and Lalulas are always more excited in the gym than in the park.
And the closer the Shenmu Festival comes, the more the elves behave like this.
Undoubtedly, the biggest difference between a monastery and a park is the distance from the sacred tree.
