Chapter 25: Gnomes
Hearing this sound from the height of his waist, Xu Yi lowered his head in shock, and saw a cute little human girl staring at him with her head up, her face full of curiosity.
"This ......" Xu Yi's eyes widened, and he instantly judged that this was not a little human girl, but ......
"Gnomes! Oh my God, it's a dwarf!"
Xu Yi was stunned, squatted down and looked at each other carefully with the little girl, and confirmed that he was not mistaken.
This creature, which at first glance is not much different from a human little girl, is actually quite different from a human little girl in details, and the main difference is that it has a pair of pointed ears that are somewhat similar to the elves, but one size smaller.
Combined with the slightly stubby and shorter figure, as well as the obviously large and bright eyes, this is definitely exactly the same as the dwarf people recorded in the literature.
That's right, this is a dwarf clan!
But didn't the dwarfs disappear across the continent long ago?
According to various documents, as early as 2,000 years ago, the dwarf tribe completely disappeared from the continent of Sainz.
The elven clan has shown some traces in the past two thousand years, and there are even elven tribes like the Moon Shadow tribe that often come into contact with humans.
However, the dwarf tribe has not spread even the slightest trace of it for more than two thousand years, and there are not even rumors.
In the final conclusion of all the literature, and even in the judgment of everyone, it has been determined that the gnomes have completely disappeared from this continent.
Maybe it's really like a legend, and I went to another continent in the depths of the Endless Sea, but on the continent of Sainz. It has been established that there are no gnomes in existence.
But now. Just in front of Xu Yi. But a living dwarf has appeared!
Xu Yi stared at the female dwarf with a lovely face in front of him, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
The tentacles were smooth and soft, and he was sure that this was not an illusion.
"Oh my God, human, you casually touched a lady's face! you are certainly not a gentlemanly human!" the dwarf girl suddenly shouted.
Xu Yi was suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I just ...... It's just that some can't believe it's true. Haven't the gnomes completely disappeared from the Sainz continent long ago......? Why are you still here, and in the elven tribe of the Azhara tribe?"
"Hey, human, first of all. I have a name, you can call me Lumi, and secondly, although our dwarf clan decided to leave the Sainz continent more than two thousand years ago, not all dwarfs are willing to leave, like our Tana family stayed. â
Speaking of this, the female dwarf who called herself Remy lowered her head slightly, her face gloomy.
"But now I'm the only one in the Tana family, and everyone else is dead......
Xu Yi looked at the female dwarf in front of him who seemed to recognize a little girl, and didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.
Although the dwarfs are similar in appearance to human children. However, the actual lifespan is far beyond that of humans, and it is not much different from that of elves.
Don't look at this female dwarf, just like a teenage girl in human beings. But her actual age is one or two hundred years old.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly thought of another question.
"Lumi, you just said that you gnomes decided to leave the Sainz continent, that is, they really went to another continent beyond the Endless Sea, as the legend says?"
Lumi shook her little head, "I don't know. There is a continent beyond the Sainz Continent, but it is only the speculation of the clan elders based on the observation of the Sainz Continent. The elders say that we do not live on a flat land, but quite possibly on a very large ball. Therefore, the Sainz continent should not be the only continent in this world, and at the far end of the Endless Sea, there may be another continent. It's just that the elders aren't sure if this continent is ......."
Xu Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and his hands grabbed Lumi's shoulders and shook them vigorously.
"You mean to say...... The gnomes didn't disappear, but they went to other continents?"
Lumi was a little dizzy by Xu Yi's shaking, and it took a while to come back to her senses and nod dumbly.
"yes, but I can't be sure......"
"Great!" Xu Yi stood up excitedly and spun around a few times, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed at all. "Great! It turns out that the dwarf tribe really hasn't disappeared, and there are still zĂ i in this world. What are other continents, now I even have ocean-going ships, and sooner or later I can find them!"
Seeing Xu Yi spinning around there, Lumi looked up in a daze, and Elder Wendini and Elder Lisanya next to him were also a little stunned.
Although the dwarf clan is indeed very rare, it will not make Xu Yi so excited after knowing the news of the dwarf clan, right?
Xu Yi turned around for a while, finally calmed down, smiled slightly, squatted down again to look at Lumi, and asked seriously: "Lumi, can you determine which direction your people left the Sainz continent from, or more accurately, from which port?"
Lumi shook her head: "I don't know exactly where it is, but the elder said that according to speculation, another continent should be in the west, so the clansmen all went out to sea and went west." â
"To the west?" Xu Yi turned his head and glanced to the west, thinking that it was just right to depart from the new flying port of the Duchy of Stantin, and then another question came to mind. "Lumi, is there any basis for your statement that your elders have deduced that we do not live on a flat land, but on a very large sphere?"
Lumi furrowed two short, delicate eyebrows and thought for a moment, then shook her head again.
"I don't know ......"
Judging by Lumi's reaction, she was really unclear about some of the details of the dwarf tribe.
But it's right to think about it.
It has been more than two thousand years since the dwarf left the Sainz continent, and Lumi is only one or two hundred years old at most, so it is normal not to know these things.
"Speaking of which...... Human, why are you so excited to see me?" asked Lumi suddenly. "Do you think I'm a dwarf?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "You can say that, but it's not just because you are a dwarf, but more importantly, because of your dwarf race's knowledge of magic machinery." Do you see what I mean?"
Lumi's eyes lit up: "Of course I do." Human, you're the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, aren't you? â
"Yes. Have you heard of me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course. If I didn't know about the magic machinery of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, how could I beg Wentini to bring you here? Lumi nodded. "Hey, human, I've checked the strange magical machines produced by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and I think they're all very distinctive, and in many ways they're no worse than the magical machines we gnomes are studying. â
"Isn't it just bad?" Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that this dwarf was quite confident.
The magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are all high-quality products made by him after combining the complete mechanical theory knowledge on the earth and the magical knowledge on the Sainz continent, but Lumi does not have a high evaluation.
Rumie seemed to see what Xu Yi was thinking, and grinned.
"Humans, those magical machines of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were actually invented by you, right?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Most of the credit should be given to the researchers of our Chamber of Commerce, I just came up with an idea." â
"The most important thing is to have ideas. Lumi suddenly reached into her arms and touched it, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Yi. "For the sake of the magical machines you invented, I can allow you to look at this drawing. â
"Drawings?" Xu Yi took it in wonder, opened it and found that it was really a drawing, and it was a standard mechanical structure diagram.
After glancing at it, Xu Yi immediately judged it.
"This seems to be the blueprint of a magic airship?"
"Hmm!" Lumi nodded vigorously, and even stood on tiptoe and gently patted Xu Yi's shoulder, and said in an appreciative tone: "You are indeed very talented in magic machinery, I am not mistaken." â
Xu Yi was speechless, shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention to the smug Lumi, and looked down at the drawings in his hand seriously.
After looking at it carefully, he immediately saw that the magic airship represented on this drawing was very different from the magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The design principle of the new flying chamber of commerce is still focused on the mechanical aspect, and the magic side mainly provides an output power.
However, the magic airship on this drawing is mainly focused on the magical aspect, and the mechanical design is mainly to complete an overall architecture.
As for the power of the entire magic airship, it is completely magical.
This design makes the structure and power components of the entire magic airship a little simpler, as these are done by magic.
However, relatively speaking, the magic airship designed in this way has extremely high requirements for magic, and the magic consumption is much larger.
In terms of explosiveness and easy handling, such a design is much stronger than the magic airship designed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but because the overall manufacturing requirements are too fine, coupled with the fact that there are too many magic arrays that need to be erected, and the cost of guiding the system is extremely high, it is difficult to achieve mass production like the magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
And because the power consumption is too high, if you use it daily, it is far less economical than the magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it is more acceptable to the public.
After Xu Yi looked at it for a while, he didn't rush to ask Lumi these questions, but thought about it and asked her, "Hey, Lumi, what do you want to do when you let me see this drawing?"
Lumie looked at Xu Yiping's own eyes, cracked her mouth, and revealed a hearty and lovely smile.
"Human, because of your respect for me, I have decided to cooperate with you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to jointly make a magic machine!" (To be continued......)
