Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 145 The rookie trainer who never returns.

The second location is a snowy mountain.

Ekaterina asked Sister Mimi and Tropical Dragon to search there and confirmed that there was no ice stone vein in that place.

Finally, the two of them headed towards the third location.

The second location is actually not far from the third location, as both places are located in a snow-capped mountain range.

The endless snow-capped mountains seem to have no end in sight.

"There are actually snow-capped mountains of this size in the Qingyun Mountains. The map that guy gave us is incomplete." Lu Li looked unhappy.

Ekaterina was very calm. "That's normal. An elite Pidgeot shouldn't be able to fly over these snowy mountains."

Hearing this, Lu Li asked worriedly, "Dragonite should be okay, right?"

Ekaterina didn't say anything, but turned her gaze to Dragonite.

"Ow~"

Dragonite roared and then shook his head, indicating that he couldn't do it.

"Dragonite means that this place is too cold. He can't hold on for long and can't take us through the snowy mountains." Sister Mimilip translated.

Ekaterina didn't say anything, but looked down at the map in her hand.

The map on the tablet was incomplete, and the area here was just a vast expanse of white.

At first, Ekaterina thought the white area was an ice field, but now it seems that it is actually a snowy mountain.

Although Dragonite, which is four times weaker than Ice, can fly very high, it cannot break through the atmosphere because the altitude is high and the temperature is extremely cold.

It's normal that Dragonite can't fly for too long in such an environment.

"The location you marked should be in the center of the snow mountain. To prevent any accidents, how about I send you back first? I will go there alone with Dragonite." Ekaterina looked at Lu Li and said.

It’s not that she thinks Lu Li is a burden, but she doesn’t want to delay Lu Li’s college entrance examination.

Lu Li's amazing exploration skills have proven his value in the secret realm.

The most important thing is that Ekaterina also thinks that the probability of the existence of Styracosaurus in this snow mountain is the highest.

Lu Li nodded after hearing this.

He couldn't give up the college entrance examination just to help Ekaterina, not to mention that the upcoming adventure would be the same with or without him.

"Then I'll trouble you." Lu Li said.

Ekaterina said sincerely, "My intuition tells me that I will reap great rewards in these snowy mountains, so you have fulfilled your promise."

Lu Li just smiled and didn't say anything.

The more sincere Catherine was, the more guilty he felt.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although he has some conscience, it is definitely not much.

Just like that, Ekaterina sent Lu Li out of the secret realm.

And in order to keep her promise, Ekaterina even accompanied Lu Li on a walk around the market.

In fact, just as Catherine said, there is no loophole to be solved in this market.

After a round of wandering around without any results, Lu Li finally came to terms with it.

Even if trainers see things that have no direct effect on Pokémon, they probably won't take them, let alone exchange them for anything.

What he thought before was completely wishful thinking.

The depressed Lu Li was sent back home by Ekaterina.

When I got home, it was exactly 12 o'clock in the middle of the night outside.

"I wish you good luck with your college entrance exams. I hope we'll see each other again after your regional competition."

After Ekaterina finished speaking, she rode Dragonite and disappeared into the night.

Lu Li sighed.

Beauty is precious, but love is more precious. If you want to live forever, both can be thrown away!
Lu Li did not go back to the bedroom to rest, but went to the underground alchemy room.

It was not until noon that Lu Li came out of the basement.

Lu Li, who had just arrived in the yard and was about to go to the orchard, ran into Wei who was bringing Ike in.

"I saw you were busy in the basement, so I didn't disturb you. I went to pick up Ike." Wei said with a smile after seeing Lu Li.

Lu Li nodded.

"Hello, Lu Li, long time no see." Ike smiled brightly, then said, "I'm here for an interview."

"Let's sit down and talk." Lu Li pointed at the sofa and said.

Ike nodded quickly, then sat upright on the sofa.

Originally, Ike didn't dare to do it, after all, he was quite dirty.

The Wildfire Gang's main source of income is garbage collection, so it's normal for Ike, who has been hanging around garbage dumps for years, to be dirty.

"I heard that you are planning to build a ranch and need someone you can trust to help you?" Ike asked nervously.

Lu Li nodded, then said seriously, "I don't want hired workers."

"Wei has already told me." Ekko nodded.

Ike said seriously, "As long as the conditions you offer are acceptable, I'm willing to sell myself to you."

"Tell me your conditions." Lu Li handed the initiative to Ike.

Ike said seriously, "I want to provide for my brothers and sisters."

Lu Li: "I can provide jobs for your brothers and sisters who are able to move, and also give them the opportunity to become trainers."

"So what's the price?" Ike asked.

"Be loyal to me."

"Like the retainers of old."

Lu Li nodded.

Ike complained helplessly, "You're even more ruthless than those families who sponsor you."

Lu Li didn't say anything.

After a moment, Ike exhaled heavily and said solemnly, "I agree."

Seeing that Ike had agreed, Lu Li quickly got into character and said directly, "You can move your Wildfire Gang to Golden Rooster Village. By the way, how many boys in your Wildfire Gang are almost 16 years old?"

"There are four who are about to turn 16," Ike said.

Lu Li asked again: "What about the trainer?"

Ike: "Let's go..."

Lu Li frowned when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, there should be two other trainers in the Wildfire Gang besides Ike. After all, Ike brought back a Mud Pokémon Egg.

Ike explained, "After they became trainers, they left the Wildfire Gang and went traveling."

Lu Li frowned when he heard this.

"After so many years, many children in your Wildfire Class must have gone out to travel, but not one of them came back?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Ike shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

The room fell into silence again.

Lu Li didn't know how to start.

Because this issue is rather embarrassing, every year over the years there have been young people from the Wildfire Gang going out to travel, but none of them have come back.

There are only two possible outcomes.

The first type is going without returning, which means an accident happened.

In this world, eight out of ten self-taught trainers who go out on a trip will never come back.

The second type is going without returning, which is ungratefulness.

Those young men who became trainers wanted to separate themselves from the Wildfire Gang, so...

Lu Li prefers the former.

After all, this is a modern society. No matter how wasteful a person is, it should be okay to call back and ask during the trip, right?

If there is no news, the only possibility is that there was an accident.

"So there was an accident? I remember you had a cell phone, right? Didn't anyone call back?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.

Lying powerlessly on the sofa, Ike murmured softly, "I don't know, but I hope they hate their past and don't want to call back."

Wei analyzed from the side: "Could it be because they don't have any means of communication?"

"There are public telephones in Jiuzhou. Every city and even small town has a public telephone." Lu Li gave Wei a speechless look.
