Chapter 40: You Won't Be Alone
After sending Heinze away, Xu Yi disposed of a few copies of the documents at hand, turned his head to look out the window, thought about it, and drove the magic car out of the private estate and headed towards the shipyard.
As soon as he approached the shipyard, he heard a deafening roar on the sea in the distance.
When I turned my head to look, I saw a column of water rising into the sky on the sea, more than ten meters high.
At this time, the sunlight is slanting from the western sea, and the water droplets fall, splashing the sky, and the sunlight is suddenly reflected in a colorful color, which looks extremely gorgeous.
Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the place where the water column fell, and then tilted his head, and his eyes fell on a medium-sized magic steamer about thirty months long and five or six meters high that was parked on the sea surface about five hundred meters away from the water column.
As soon as he turned his gaze, a bright blue light suddenly lit up on the medium-sized magic steamer, and then he saw a small black dot shoot out with a fiery red light, drawing a long parabola in mid-air on the sea surface, and landing on the sea surface more than five hundred meters away.
"Boom-"
There was another loud bang, and a column of water more than ten meters high was blasted out of the calm sea that had just been restored, and huge ripples swept away from the explosion point one by one, pushing a rotten wooden boat parked dozens of meters away to shake.
Seeing that the rotten wooden ship was still intact, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
It's really disappointing that the target is still intact.
Glancing at the medium-sized magic ship in the distance, Xu Yi's magic power moved. The whole body disappeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared out of thin air on the deck of the medium-sized magic steamer more than a thousand meters away from the coast.
Lumi on deck was the first to react. As soon as he turned his head and saw Xu Yi emerging from the void, he immediately smiled like a happy little girl and won.
"Hey, President, why are you free today?"
"I'm just idle, and I want to see how you're doing. Xu Yi responded, and said hello to the others who reacted after hearing Lumi's greeting. "How's it going? I've seen that the wooden boat used as a target is still in good shape. β
Hearing this, everyone. Including Lumi, they looked at each other inside, and at the same time showed a hint of shame on their faces.
"This ......" The dwarven engineer who was in charge of the ship's magic artillery project Potru scratched his head and replied embarrassedly, "Lord Lord." It's not going very well. We have been doing practical artillery tests for three days, and so far...... Except for Captain Falia, no one else has ever hit a single shot......"
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at the side of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the elf captain of the escort team, Fario, who was firmly anchored on the deck like a tree. "Fario, why is it only you who can shoot. Others can't?"
Fario replied with a blank face, "Because our elves are much more talented in shooting than they are. β
"Really?" Xu Yi glanced at the others on the deck. Finding that there was another elf in this group of people, he pointed at him and asked, "Then why didn't Ildan shoot either?"
Fario glanced at Ildan faintly: "Ildan is now a researcher, not a warrior. His talent has been wasted. β
Ildan coughed lightly, looking embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll admit that Fario is better at shooting than the others, but what we need to know now is, what exactly is your talent? What did you rely on to shoot and others couldn't?" Xu Yi asked.
Fario frowned slightly, thinking for a moment. He replied, "I think...... The main thing should be that our elves have much better eyesight than other races. Secondly, because our elven warriors are generally proficient in bows and arrows, they are accustomed to judging and correcting the trajectory of bows and arrows. Well...... In fact, I didn't hit the first few shots, but after shooting a few times, I figured out the pattern, and the next few shots were hit. β
Xu Yi immediately turned his head to look at Portru, frowned, and said, "Since Fario has figured out the rules, why don't you ask him for advice and improve based on his experience?"
Potru spread his hands helplessly: "Lord Grow, this is the talent of their elven race, and there is nothing that can replace it." β
"No, I don't think so. Xu Yi shook his head. "In terms of the elven eyesight advantage, you can try to add an improved telescope to the magic cannon to solve it. As for what Fario said about summarizing the law or something...... Actually, have you forgotten what I said? The so-called law is actually the process of constantly counting jΓΉ accurately. β
Potru's expression moved: "Lord, what do you mean...... Let's keep firing the artillery with Fario, and then do the counting and fine-tuning here?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Yi said angrily, "Could it be that you have been working on the research and development of magic machinery for so long, and you still don't understand this?"
Potru touched his head and muttered, "We're only developing magic artillery for the first time, and we're not skilled enough......"
"Then make yourself as skilled as you can!" Xu Yi glared at him, leaving him and a bunch of other engineers and researchers to work with Fario on the ship's magic artillery, while he pulled Lumie aside.
"Hey, Lumi, how are you feeling in the shipyard during this time?" Xu Yi asked.
"That's good. Lumi replied with a grin. "Everyone is very nice to me, and I'm happy to have a lot of people here to talk to me about magic and mechanics. β
"Really? That's good. Xu Yi nodded. "But you're the only dwarf here, and you're still going to feel lonely, right?"
A gloomy look crossed Lumi's little face, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Sometimes I do feel lonely, but I've been like this for almost a hundred years, and I'm used to it. β
Then the spirits were lifted again.
"But that's okay! I've been in the shipyard for so long, and I'm sure we'll be able to build a magic steamer that can easily sail the oceans! You'll be able to meet my people!"
"Hehe, that's at least a few years. Before that, did you think about the possibility of meeting other clansmen in advance?" Xu Yixiao asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Lumi. The last time you said that the last time you knew about other clansmen was when they left the continent of Sainz more than 2,000 years ago, was that right?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
"But from the various documents I have read during this time, I found that after the great migration of the dwarf people more than 2,000 years ago. In fact, there were sporadic rumors of dwarfs that followed. Although these are just rumors and there is no real evidence, I saw you with my own eyes. After discovering your deposit, I thought of a possibility. β
"What is possible?" seemed to hear the hidden meaning of Xu Yi's words, and a little light flashed in Lumi's big eyes.
"You see, you and your family didn't choose to leave the Sainz Continent. Instead, he stayed. Outside of your family, there are likely to be other dwarfs who have chosen to stay as well. So I think that on the current Sainz Continent, it is very likely that you are not the only dwarf clan, there should be other clansmen who exist. β
Lumi's eyes widened, "Really, will you be able to find them?"
"I can't guarantee that it's true, and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to find them, but I can find a way to find them, just until then. But it needs your consent and support. β
"If I can find a clansman, I'll do whatever I want!" Lumi immediately replied aloud.
"Good. Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "Lumi. The solution I want to use is a stupid way, which is to spread your news throughout the Sainz continent, and it is better to spread this news to the ears of other pygmy tribes who may have zΓ i, so that they know that there is still your zΓ i on this continent. If they're looking for their people, I'm sure they'll come to you. β
"Will you really be able to spread the news across the continent?" Lumi was skeptical.
"I don't dare to say anything else, but at least there is no problem in these neighboring countries. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develops to other countries in the future, I can also spread the news to other countries. Xu also affirmed authenticity. "But there's a problem. β
"What's the problem?"
"That's you're going to be a celebrity. Lumi, you should be well aware of the rarity of the dwarf clan on the continent of Sainz right now. If people know about your deposit, it will definitely cause a lot of sensation. And in order for your message to be conveyed and known to other gnomes, you must also show your face in public and show your identity. It's going to have a huge impact on your life, don't you think that's okay?"
Lumi's delicate eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Although she didn't understand Xu Yi's troubles about celebrities, she thought that she would be treated as a rare object by many, many humans, and she felt that this scene must be annoying.
However, thinking of the possibility that Xu Yi said, she felt that this mention was full of temptation.
Xu Yi looked at Lumi quietly and did not urge.
In fact, it took him a long time to make this decision.
This is done out of prudence.
Although Lumi always said that as long as he went deep into the Endless Sea and found another continent, he could find his people.
However, even if the dwarf clan more than 2,000 years ago had research on magic machinery, it was far from being able to compare with the current level of science and technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
At the level of sea ships at that time, going deep into the endless sea to carry out ocean voyages was simply nine deaths.
If you look at it pessimistically, it is very likely that the gnomes will all die in the endless sea.
Even if we are optimistic, the gnomes have found a new continent, but it is unknown whether they will be able to live and survive in the new continent.
More than 2,000 years have passed, and anything can happen.
There is a great possibility that the dwarf tribe that left the Sainz continent has completely disappeared, and only the dwarf tribe left on the Sainz continent is left in this world.
If that's the case, it's a tragedy that Lumi's longed-for ocean voyage to explore the ocean would come to nothing.
So before that, Xu Yi decided that it was best to try his best to find out the dwarf tribe on the Sainz continent first.
In this way, even if the gnomes who left the Sainz continent cannot be found at that time, Lumi will not be left alone until he finally faces the greatest tragedy of extinction.
During the time that Lumi had entered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu was also convinced that the dwarfs did have a special talent for magic machinery.
The addition of Lumi has greatly improved the research and development progress of many magic machines in the new flying chamber, and has also inspired many ideas for new magic machines, as well as improvements to the original types of magic machines.
If more dwarfs can join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more powerful in the research and development of magic machinery.
Of course, in private, Xu Yi did feel that Lumi's lonely one was too pitiful.
Lumi pondered for a long time before she raised her head to look at Xu Yi and nodded slowly.
"Okay, President, that's it. If I can find other people, I will be very grateful to you. β
Xu Yi smiled slightly and patted Lumi's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I believe you will never be alone." β
Rummy let out a heavy "um" and smiled on her little face.
Xu Yi suddenly smiled: "Since Lumi you agreed, then from tomorrow, you will have to report to Steele every day, understand?"
"Huh?" Lumi froze. "Why do you want to report to Steele?
"Because...... You'll be a star from now on. (To be continued......)
