Chapter 726: Berry College
Camping, picnicking, observing the special elves of Padea, looking for phantom ancient gold coins, and... picking up a variety of ingredients.
After several transfers at Lizard Station, the joyful wild life ended three days later.
Zhou You and A Jin came to the central and southern area of Padia - Table City.
The Padian League is on the northwest side of the city, and the Berry College is located due north.
Although he was bored with college life, Ajin still came to this centuries-old college with Zhou You.
Unlike in the game, this academy teaches not only knowledge about elves, but also covers a variety of modern subjects.
Boys' uniforms are purple and girls' uniforms are red.
Looking a bit rustic, Ah Jin complained like this, students should have students' yazi.
Like growing a trendy hairstyle and wearing jeans?
"Well, everyone really thinks so." Anyway, Zhou You has been dissatisfied with the Padiya school uniform for a long time. "At least it should be worn casually outside of school."
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
After walking into the familiar first-floor hall of Beiliu Academy, they found that Chairman Ye Ci, who had received the news a long time ago, had been waiting for a long time.
Ah Jin muttered secretly: "He looks so weird."
It seems that Yeji’s gender was mistaken.
"Hello Zhouyou, I am Yeci, the current chairman of Peliu Academy and the president of the Padia Alliance. I welcome you to come to the Padia region from Kanto on behalf of Dr. Omu."
Probably expecting the other party to bring breakthrough progress in Taijing research, Yeci quickly and enthusiastically took the two of them to the Taijing Research Laboratory located in the college.
Three scholars wearing coats and looking trendy in a way that was inconsistent with the academy were waiting for them.
"This is Dr. Fotu, this is Dr. Olin, and this is Professor Clavell. The three of them are the research team responsible for the crystallization, 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. Omu, and this is the Tai Jingzhu we mentioned last year."
As he spoke, he handed the Tai Jing Bead (white) and Tai Jing Bead (black) to Olin and Futu respectively.
"The material of this bead is very different from Taijing, but it can emit similar colors?"
Orin played with the metallic tai crystal beads processed by Reshiram and compared them with the tai crystal beads in the research room.
According to the data obtained from Dr. Omu in advance, this bead has the effect of allowing elves to enter "tai crystallization".
Tai Jinghua is a special phenomenon unique to Padia. How could it appear in other areas?
"According to documentary records, the ancient Pardian Empire once conducted trade with countries in the Far East. Could it be that the two sides exchanged certain technologies that were only known at that time?"
Dr. Fotu recalled the story about the "Four Woes" in history books: "The ancient cave diggers may have possessed far more ancient relics than modern people."
It is said that there are treasures in Area Zero, but modern people have entered the shallow layers several times without any gains.
Is it because the treasure itself does not exist, or is it because ancient cave diggers have visited the shallow layers?
Are these two beads relics from ancient Padia?
"It doesn't look like it." Yeci shook his head, "Judging from the luster of these two orbs, they haven't existed for long."
And being extremely familiar with Taijing, she could conclude that these two beads had absolutely nothing to do with Taijing.
Zhou You secretly complained, after all, it was rubbed out by Shuanglong last year.
In any case, the scholars tested the two orbs through instruments.
While waiting for the results, Yeci had to leave the laboratory due to busy work.
Professor Clavell didn't seem very busy. At this time, he was not the principal, only a professor in name only.
Seeing the three researchers talking to Qiao Qiao about matters related to Tai Jinghua, Ah Jin, who had nothing to do, wandered around the research room, and soon discovered that there was someone else in another room.
It was a little boy who looked to be six or seven years old. He was passing the time with a kind of elf called a mastiff. Presumably he was the child of a researcher?
The playful Mastiff noticed the presence of an outsider and immediately focused its attention on Ah Jin.
But soon it twitched its nose and smelled the particularly delicious smell of the other party.
"Hey, hey, your nose is very good. I can smell it even if I hide it in the deepest part of my backpack?"
Seeing this, Ah Jin opened his backpack and took out the crab claws that he had not eaten in the past few days.
In an instant, the fragrance overflowed, and the entire Taijing research room exuded a delicious atmosphere.
The empty-nest kid's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's a Maoya crab claw! And it's a treasure-level top-notch crab claw!"
Ah Jin secretly thought that a child was quite knowledgeable and gave some of the uneaten crab claws to the mastiff.
It's a pity that his elf is not around yet, otherwise it won't be other people's elf's turn to enjoy these.
The mastiff looked back at the child. That seemed to be its trainer?
The latter nodded: "Eat."
Then he looked admiringly at the stranger who casually took out treasure-level ingredients: "Thank you, I'm Pipa. You don't seem to be a student of Berry College?"
Anyone who doesn't wear a school uniform is definitely not a student... but that's not necessarily the case.
As one of the few ancient schools in the world, Berry College has a history of 795 years. There is no age limit for admission, and students come from a wide range of age groups, ranging from children to adults.
Although it used to be basically a royal college, it taught various noble knowledge.
However, after the establishment of the Pokémon League, Berry Academy also adapted to the times and was the first in the world to open Pokémon-related courses.
Nowadays, elf-related majors are gradually becoming mainstream, and some of the courses seem to be taught together with elves.
"I am Ajin, a cave explorer (temporary) who will go on an adventure in Area Zero later."
Hearing this, Paipa's face lit up with joy, the cave explorer from Area Zero!
It was not that he was interested in the cave diggers themselves, but that he was very curious about the secret seasoning originally produced in the Padia Pit in Area Zero, so he repeatedly discussed it with his parents and was finally allowed to go with the research team. Zone Zero Adventure.
"Ajin, do you also like cooking for elves?"
"Of course, my large family of elves never eat elf feed or energy cubes."
After hearing this, Pipaton realized that the sound was hard to find!
In fact, it's just that Ajin's family raised too much feed and couldn't buy it... However, Ajin went to work in the breeding house south of Manjin City every day, and he also developed good cooking skills (limited to elf food).
Just as Paipa was about to exchange cooking ideas with Ah Jin, a self-proclaimed cave explorer, the communication between the three researchers and Zhou You came to an abrupt end.
Olin poked her head in and said, "It smells so good. What delicious food are you making?"
In this book, Orin and Dr. Foto are set up as husband and wife.
