Chapter 52: Indigenous Humans
"Elder, the representative of the Fire Dragon Tribe is here. Led by Barnett, three human men of slightly thin and short stature walked into the room.
Xu Yi glanced at the three of them and nodded slightly.
As early as the report given by Barnett, it was improved that the humans on the Demon Cloud Continent were generally short and emaciated due to the shortage of food.
These three representatives are already tall in the Fire Dragon Tribe, but if Xu Yi stands up, the top of their heads can only be level with Xu Yi's nose at most.
"Hawacha. Xu Yi greeted the three of them with a smile.
This is the meaning of "hello" and "hello" in the language of the fire dragon tribe, Xu Yi specially asked Barnett about the language of the fire dragon tribe itself before this, but it was impossible to learn it completely in such a short time, and he could only barely master a few greetings.
However, to Xu Yi's surprise, after responding to Xu Yi with "Havacha", a man from the Fire Dragon Tribe in the lead opened his mouth and spit out the standard and fluent Sainz Continental lingua franca from his mouth.
"Dear President Xu, it is an honor to meet you. The young man smiled, and even applied a standard Sainz Continent aristocratic etiquette to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Barnett.
Bai Knight smiled, pointed to the young man and explained to Xu Yi: "Elder, the three of them are specially selected representatives of the Fire Dragon Tribe, and they are all proficient in the lingua franca of our Sainz Continent, you can communicate with them at will. ”
"Really?" Xu Yi looked at the three representatives in surprise.
This fire dragon tribe is a human tribe that was accidentally discovered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce during its expansion last year.
Because they are all human beings. So after discovering the Fire Dragon Tribe. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce immediately paid special attention. Soon reached a cooperative relationship with the Fire Dragon Tribe, and recruited a group of members of the Fire Dragon Tribe to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi didn't expect that in less than a year, the Fire Dragon Tribe would actually be able to send three representatives who were proficient in the lingua franca of the Sainz Continent, which showed that they were also quite attentive to the appearance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Since you all use the lingua franca of Sainz, it's much more convenient. Xu Yi smiled and nodded to the three of them. "I just don't know if you are familiar with the writing of our Sainz continent in addition to language?"
The three of them looked embarrassed, and the young man named Gan Mo who had just replied shook his head.
"Our tribe didn't have a written word before. So it's very difficult for us to relearn words. The three of us didn't have a problem speaking, but it was a little difficult to write and read. ”
Seeing Xu Yi frowning, Gan Mo immediately said again: "But we are all studying hard, I can now recognize close to two hundred words, I believe that as long as I am given some time, it will not be a problem to learn to write and read." ”
"That's good. Xu Yi looked at Gan Mo's gaze with a hint of appreciation.
Of course, he knew how difficult it was for people who had no previous foundation in writing to learn to read and even write, this Gan Mo was able to master the lingua franca of the Sainz continent in less than a year, and even learned nearly two hundred words, in addition to his high language talent, the most important thing was of course that he worked hard enough.
"But if you don't understand the words. How are we going to sign a contract with you?" Xu also asked.
Gan Mo's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of excitement on his face. But he shook his head and said, "President Xu, as long as you are willing to help us, then it doesn't matter if there is no written contract. After a pause, he continued: "And even if you break the contract, we don't have the ability to trouble you, do we?"
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"You're thinking very clearly. Now that you know the results, will you still be willing to cooperate with us?"
"Of course!" Ganmo replied without hesitation. "President Xu, with your strength, you can force us to do anything, but now you want to offer to cooperate with us. I don't know what you think, but I do know that there's absolutely no harm in working with you. ”
"There's no harm in being so sure?" Xu Yi looked at him with some amusement.
Gan Mo looked at Xu Yi with an indifferent expression: "If it weren't for your appearance, our Fire Dragon Tribe would be killed by the goblins sooner or later. Do you think we still need to worry about the potential harm of working with you?"
Gan Mo said this as a matter of course, and the expressions on the faces of the two companions beside him did not loosen in any way, which showed that this was not a surprise to them at all.
Xu Yi turned his head to look at Barnett.
Barnett coughed lightly and said, "Elder, when the Chamber of Commerce Escort discovered the Fire Dragon Tribe last year, they were under siege by tens of thousands of goblins, and if it weren't for the help of the Guardian Team, I'm afraid the Fire Dragon Tribe would no longer exist now." ”
Xu Yi nodded, once again confirming that what Gan Mo said should be more true.
He looked at the three short and thin indigenous humans of the Demon Cloud Continent in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.
Everyone is also a human being, the humans on the Sainz continent have already become the masters of the Sainz continent, have established countless countries, and already have a very good civilization system, but these indigenous humans on the Demon Cloud Continent are still in such a backward civilization stage because their strength is too weak.
Even as long as the siege of tens of thousands of goblins is enough to cause the extermination of a human tribe with a total number of more than two thousand, it can be seen how difficult it is for these indigenous humans to survive on the Demon Cloud Continent.
But Xu Yi was also very pleased.
Prior to this, he had been worried that these indigenous human beings on the Demon Cloud Continent were backward in civilization and intelligence, and they were no different from primitive people.
But now in this contact, I found that it was only a small fire dragon tribe, and there was a person like Gan Mo with a flexible mind and clear thinking.
If the two companions around him are also close to him, then the intelligence of these indigenous humans in the Fire Dragon Tribe should be worth looking forward to.
Xu also needs to recruit a large number of people locally in the Demon Cloud Continent, and the main target will naturally be the indigenous humans here.
However, if these indigenous humans are intellectually inferior and uncultivated, then Xu Yi will not let some people who are dragging their feet enter the Chamber of Commerce, which will not help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the development of the Demon Cloud Continent.
The discovery now made him have more confidence in the Fire Dragon Tribe and the indigenous humans on the entire Demon Cloud Continent.
As long as these indigenous humans have a normal IQ, then after training, they can at least master some simple tasks, and they can provide a lot of help to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Ganmo, do you understand the content of our cooperation with your Fire Dragon Tribe?"
Gan Mo pondered for a moment, and replied, "You need people to do the work for you, and we need you to protect our tribe. ”
"Well, that's it. Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "As long as you Fire Dragon Tribe are willing to obey our arrangement, then our Chamber of Commerce will guarantee your safety. Also, if you're good enough, I wouldn't mind giving your tribe a little extra help. ”
Gan Mo's eyes lit up.
He has obviously worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than half a year, and in addition to being proficient in the lingua franca of the Sainz continent, he also has some superficial understanding of the various magical items mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
He knew very well how powerful these humans were that they were said to have come from another continent.
These are powerful, not only in the fact that they can easily repel goblins dozens of times their size, but also in the little bits and pieces of their lives.
In the past half a year, he has seen countless magical items in the base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that he had never dreamed of before, and there are many things that have shown their effects, and they are even enough to be called miracles!
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide protection to the Fire Dragon Tribe, then the people of the tribe will no longer have to worry about the threat from the goblins, and it is more likely that they will have enough food to no longer suffer from hunger and cold.
Being able to have these benefits is already a great benefit for the Fire Dragon Tribe.
Not to mention that the top big man in front of him, who is called "The Elder Adult", just said that he might give some extra help.
If he could get the Fire Dragon Tribe in their hands on those magical items they had, then Ganmo felt that it would be worth it no matter what it took!
Regarding the expectation and desire in Gan Mo's eyes, Xu Yi naturally saw it clearly.
Among the various races on the Demon Cloud Continent, the status of human beings is even far inferior to that of elves, dwarves, and dwarves.
Elves, dwarves, and gnomes are still constantly worried about the threat from goblins, not to mention these indigenous humans.
The appearance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has brought them a guarantee of survival, and it may even make them stronger, how can they not feel anticipation and eagerness for this.
Of course, Xu Yi didn't think about teaching them too much.
First, with their level of civilization, it is difficult to master, and secondly, Xu Yi does not want to make these indigenous humans particularly strong.
In the final analysis, he needs these manpower to help the expansion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not to cause trouble for himself.
"By the way, Gan Mo, you seem to be working on a construction site in our Chamber of Commerce now, right?" Xu Yi asked again.
Gan Mo immediately nodded: "Yes." ”
"Now you don't have to do that job. The cooperation between our Chamber of Commerce and your Fire Dragon Tribe needs an intermediary, and you can take on this role. In addition, I would like you to be my special advisor, and I need to ask someone about some things on the Demon Cloud Continent. ”
Gan Mo didn't fully understand what Xu Yi meant, for example, he didn't know what a "consultant" was at all.
But he knew very well that Xu Yi must have taken a fancy to him extraordinarily.
This was great news for him, so he didn't hesitate at all, knelt down directly, and kowtowed heavily to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was not very accustomed to this etiquette, but he did not avoid it, but frowned slightly and accepted this gift calmly.
If possible, he hoped that all the indigenous humans on the Demon Cloud Continent would be so in awe of him.
Only in this way will the development plan of the new flying chamber of commerce be smoother. (To be continued.) )
