The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 727 727. The Matthew Effect
The back mountain of Lillie's mansion is where Luther goes every morning.

I don't know when it started, Kukui also took a long detour in the morning to exercise with Luther in the morning.

"Actually, I really didn't expect that you, who have been talking about being lazy, can insist on waking up early and exercising every day."

Another identity is the royal masked Kukui, who has excellent physical fitness. He ran to the top of the back mountain without panting, and even had the energy to shout angrily into the distance.

Asuka, who was awakened by Kukui's loud voice, didn't have a very good temper, but seeing the friendly appearance of Blazing Roaring Tiger and Darkley, they could only fly away cursing as if nothing happened.

"I didn't even think about it at first. A former Interpol on my island told me that doing this would be beneficial after marriage. What can I do?" Luther spread his hands, "I can only practice."

Because Luther had nothing to do during this period of time, he often wandered around the school, so he chatted with Kukui a lot.

But the two of them mostly talked about battles, and from time to time they played two rounds of sparring and it was over. This was the first time Kukui had heard Luther mention the topic of marriage.

Seeing that Kukui was interested, Luther did not hide it, and briefly described his preparations on the island and his experience with Mai.

"After struggling for so long, I just wanted to settle down, and now I finally have a plan." With a sigh of relief, Luther stretched his waist, "I've waited too long."

"You must come to participate at that time, and I will send you an invitation." Luther said again.

Seeing Kukui deep in thought, Luther was curious what he was thinking.

"I have liked someone for a long time, but I have never formally proposed a relationship. Is there any reference for me?"

Luther was stunned for a while, and the cool morning breeze blew by before he regained his senses.

This... the person you like refers to Dr. Barnett, right?

It couldn't be that Kukui fell in love with someone else just because he came here, right?
Speaking of which, during my trip to Alola, I never saw Dr. Barnett. She is a supporter of the Aether Foundation. She didn't show up for the opening of the Ultra Hole, the experiment and other matters. What happened?

Calmly, Luther asked: "Can I know who you like? The other teachers in the school?"

"That's not true. It's a friend of Lusamine's, named Barnett. She is also an expert in the study of the ultimate world, but she went to Rainbow University to exchange and study with acquaintances a month ago, so she happened to be away."

"However, because of Lusamine's arrest of Xuwu Yide, she has rushed back to Alola a few days ago, and she should be busy with Lusamine and the others now."

Luther felt that his method was not reproducible, but he couldn't resist Kukui's aggressive eyes. It was hard to imagine that Kukui would also feel bitter because of emotional matters.

"Oh, but I was planning to buy an island, and then I confessed that I was getting married."

"No!" Kukui covered his forehead, "I mean the confession of dating, I didn't let you fast forward to marriage!"

If you ask about the confession of dating, the more formal one should be the time when Mai moved back to the house during the Lily of the Valley Conference. Speaking of which, Luther can still recall the feeling of kissing Mai at that time. Does this count as "long aftertaste"...

Seeing Kukui's distressed look, Luther felt that there was no need to be so entangled.

If you don't go up, how will you know if it will succeed?
What was supposed to be a good morning run turned out to be a lesson for Luther, a half-bottled love idiot, to teach Kukui to confess to Barnett.

I don't know what it means for Blazing Roaring Tiger and Darkley to nod frequently, can you understand?
Understood why are you still single?

According to the normal process, Kukui and Barnett have a good impression of each other. If Kukui takes the initiative, there will be no deviation in the follow-up development. Therefore, Luther's rainbow farts keep Kukui full of motivation.

Luther's efforts were not in vain. Kukui rolled up his sleeves and planned to go back to prepare a gift, so he approached Barnett and proposed a date.

Kukui clapped his hands and remembered something: "I almost forgot the business. I asked a few friends about the matter you asked me before, and got a more accurate answer."

"The time was about two months before the new year last year. Since then, there have been publicity for Dandi in many places in Alola."

"Dandi is really popular among children and some trainers. Just what they see, there are many conversations about who is stronger between the king of the island and Dandi in daily life, and there are more online platforms."

"So the paintings and promotional pictures of Emperor Dan that you see on the ferry, at the pier, and in the business district should all be masterpieces of people who like Emperor Dan."

The three cute horseflies flew by not far away, and Luther remembered that Mai asked him to do something, and asked Darkley to take the poke ball to get things done, while he continued to chat with Kukui.

"How do you feel about the Galar Alliance?"

Kukui didn't hear the subject of Luther's question, so he thought for a while before answering.

"If you're asking me, in fact, the group of people in the tourism industry that we deal with the most in Alola and Galar is the group of people in the tourism industry. After all, we haven't established an alliance, and we don't have much contact with the Galar Alliance."

"If you're asking the trainers and the children, you can only say that they yearn for the Galar League."

"In their view, the gigantic battle is very entertaining and exciting, and Dandi's undefeated power in the official battle also makes them yearn for and admire him."

"Actually, Alora's preparation of its own alliance is also to improve the strength and cohesion of local trainers..."

Within a few words, Darkley brought back the elf ball containing three cute horseflies, with his arms crossed over his chest, looking like a master.

After putting away Mengfly's Poké Ball, Luther wiped his sweat from exercising, and motioned for Kukui to have breakfast with him. The breakfast made by Acerola is a must-try.

As he walked, Luther frowned.

Kukui didn't say it clearly, but this cohesion undoubtedly tells him that many trainers in Alola have gone to the mainland of Galar.

Matthew effect?
As early as at the New Year's meeting, several champions and heavenly kings said in the chat that Galar gradually released the previous restrictions by lifting the elf egg restriction.

At the same time, it seems that Dandi's fan groups in various regions are promoting their idols.

Wu Song said that such a large-scale publicity cannot be without the support of the alliance.

Luther also did not believe that this was a spontaneous move.

Under the siege of this powerful propaganda machine, the prototype of the Matthew effect has appeared in Alola. What will happen to other regions?
It's no wonder that after the battle with himself, Hara said sadly that Alola must speed up the progress of alliance.

It is impossible for the king of the island not to see this kind of crisis.
