"You want to hire orc workers?" President Relsa frowned and looked at Xu Yi, pondering for a moment, and slowly shaking his head. "President Xu, I have to say, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. ”

Xu Yi had expected this reaction from President Relsa, so he wasn't too surprised, but just smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Orcs are different from dwarves and elves, they don't keep their promises and work in peace like dwarves and elves. I've been doing business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland for so long, and I know that the orcs are not much different from those beasts, they are simply cruel by nature, and there is no reason to talk about it. If you hire them as workers, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I don't think it's a problem." Even if it is a ferocious beast by nature, after being domesticated, it can still get along with humans normally and accept human management. No matter how close the orc race is to the beast, it can be regarded as one of the intelligent races. Before I came here, I had studied the history of the continent carefully, but I felt that the reason why they have always been so cruel is entirely because they have never had a good living environment, and at the same time, they have never had any special ability to survive, so in order to survive, they have to directly plunder other races, which is what makes them murderous. ”

"You want to say that as long as these orcs are given a stable living environment, they will get along with us humans normally?" President Resa shook his head. "President Xu, your idea is a bit ...... It's a bit naïve. Ferociousness is the nature of these orcs, just like wild beasts, even if they are domesticated. Nor will they lose their true nature. ”

"So let's give you an example. Xu Yi pointed to the Worrall werewolf tribe behind the two and asked, "President Relsa, how long have you been doing business with this werewolf tribe?"

President Resa didn't expect Xu Yi to suddenly change the topic here. I was stunned for a moment, then I thought about it and replied, "Probably...... It's been almost twenty years. ”

"Then in these twenty years. Did the Worrall werewolf tribe do anything to humans?" Xu Yi asked again.

President Resa snorted coldly: "He dares, this tribe is the closest orc tribe to Samara Town, if they dare to do something excessive, they will be bulldozed by the kingdom's army long ago." Even if the kingdom army doesn't trouble them, as long as there is no human chamber of commerce to do business with them, it is guaranteed that they will not be able to survive a day!"

"Is it because all their living materials are basically provided by our human chamber of commerce, right?"

"Hmm. Not to mention salt, something they absolutely can't live without, just oil, vinegar, tea, and even the clothes they wear are provided by us human merchants. Now that the orcs of their tribe are completely accustomed to living a life similar to that of us humans, if they are allowed to return to the old days when they could only eat raw flesh and blood, and they could only rob a little salt if they wanted to. They certainly can't get by. President Resa replied.

"So can they grab it?"

"Want to grab it?" said President Resa grinned. "Although there are always orcs who dare to rob our human caravans in the Black Rice Wasteland, there are fewer and fewer of them every year, and there are even fewer of them like the kind of orc independent legion we met yesterday. These orcs are not stupid, since they can honestly do business with our human chamber of commerce and get a better life than before, why should they risk offending us, and go to the miserable life of the past......"

Speaking of this, President Resa suddenly paused and stared at Xu Yi for a while, revealing a hint of abruptness.

"I see. President Hsu. You're trying to say that as long as we give those orcs a stable job and let them really get a life similar to that of us humans, they won't be stupid enough to destroy that life themselves, right?"

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is exactly what I want to say." You said that earlier. Orcs are not stupid, they also want to live a good life. Before, they couldn't see any other way, so they had to rob humans to meet their needs. But now they are far inferior to humans. If you want to rob, you are afraid of retaliation. Do you think they would disagree if they were given an alternative to robbery at this time that would allow them to live a good life?"

President Resa pondered for a moment. Nodding slowly: "I think I understand what you mean." But President Xu, there is another question that you haven't considered. ”

"Oh?"

"You said it, too. The orcs are not strong enough now that they will honestly accept the choice we offer them. But if they are allowed to live a good life, and their strength gradually improves, I think sooner or later they will reveal their true nature, and then it will be a big problem. ”

"Well, I'll admit that your concerns are valid, but why should we let them improve their strength?" Xu Yi smiled meaningfully. "Although the improvement of the quality of life of orcs may lead to an increase in the number of orcs, posing a threat to us humans. But there's a very simple way to minimize this threat. ”

"How?" asked President Relsa, curious.

"This method starts with the 'labor certificate' that the Worrall patriarch is so eager for. That's all it takes......"

###

Three days later, Xu Yi left the Worrall werewolf tribe and returned to the small town of Samara, where he met the Ankru who had come to greet Xu Yi.

As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Ankru immediately opened his arms, hugged him tightly, and sighed in a very exaggerated tone: "President Xu, I am really waiting for you to be so anxious." ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but have goosebumps floating on his body.

If this comes out of the mouth of a beautiful woman, he may enjoy it, but from the mouth of such a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, how strange it sounds.

Thinking that there didn't seem to be any discrimination between men on the Sainz continent, Xu Yi quickly broke away from Ankru's embrace and forced a smile: "Aren't I here?" ”

"Yes, President Xu is a man who keeps his promises after all, and he still came after all. Ankrula smiled, looked left and right, but said strangely: "But President Xu, is you the only one going this time? Won't you bring a few assistants?"

"Assistant?" Xu Yi thought for a moment and shouted into the air on his right. "Annis, come out and meet with Mr. Ankru. When you arrive in the Duchy of Stantin, you may have to contact him, so it's more convenient to get to know him in advance. ”

Under Ankru's stunned gaze, Yanis's figure appeared from the void, nodded lightly to Ankru, and said, "Hello Ankru, my name is Yanis, and I am the president's subordinate. ”

Ankru was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, looked at Yanis with a smile and said: "I have long heard that there are many elves employed in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I never had the opportunity to meet them when I was in Bangta City before, but I didn't expect to be able to see them here with my own eyes now." Hello Miss Annis, since you are President Xu's assistant, I may be able to ask for your help in many matters in the future. ”

Xu Yi glanced at the expression on Ankru's face, and said with some surprise: "Mr. Ankru, you don't seem to be very surprised to see the elves suddenly?"

Ankru smiled and nodded: "Yes, our Duchy of Stantin is different from your Lampari Kingdom, and we often see elves appearing in the principality, so I have seen elves many times before, so naturally I won't be surprised to see Miss Yanis." ”

Xu Yi looked at Yanis in amazement, Yanis immediately understood what Xu Yi meant, nodded and said: "The Moon Shadow tribe is much larger than our Night Song tribe, I heard the elder mention it before, saying that they have a total of more than three thousand elf compatriots, so they will never appear in front of humans like our tribe." ”

Hearing this explanation, Xu Yi instantly understood.

To put it simply, the disparity in power between the Nightsong tribe and the humans in the Lampari Kingdom is too great, so in order to ensure safety, the elves of the Nightsong tribe will not appear in front of the humans in the Lampari Kingdom.

The power of the Duchy of Stantin, on the contrary, the elves of the Moon Shadow tribe are much stronger than the Nightsong tribe, so the elves of the Moon Shadow tribe can often appear in front of the humans of the Duchy of Stantin.

"But why haven't I heard of this before? Before I met you, Anis, almost everyone told me that the elves were about to disappear from the continent. Xu Yi asked.

"That's because our Duchy of Stantin is too weak, so no other country on the continent will pay attention to the news of our Duchy. Ankru replied with a wry smile.

Xu Yi nodded, thinking that this was also because the level of transportation and communication on the Sainz continent was extremely low, which would lead to the news of the Duchy of Stantin that no one paid attention to.

In the same situation on the earth, such as the elves can often appear this kind of big news, not to mention that the Duchy of Stantin is at least a normal country, even if these elves appear in any desert or tropical rainforest, they are guaranteed to be dug up, and the news will spread to every corner of the earth in an instant.

However, Xu Yi's focus is not here.

The reason why he didn't bring anyone with him this time, but instead asked Annis to finish her work with the ten elves to explore the terrain in the Black Rice Wasteland, and brought her over, because he had heard Elder Elucia mention the Moon Shadow tribe in the Duchy of Stantin before leaving.

According to Elder Elusia, this Moon Shadow Tribe is likely to be the largest Elven Tribe on the Sainz Continent right now.

Since Xu Yi can have a good relationship with the elves of the Nightsong tribe in the Lampari Kingdom, then of course he hopes to use this relationship to establish a relationship with the Moon Shadow tribe, and it is best to reach a cooperation.

Xu Yi knew almost nothing about the Duchy of Stantein before, and if he could get in touch with the Moon Shadow Clan, it would be very convenient for him to act in the Duchy of Stantin.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't ask any more questions, Ankru immediately showed Xu Yi an inquiring expression and said, "President Xu, if you're ready, let's go, shall we?"

Xu Yi looked at Yanis, and when he saw Yanis nodding to indicate that he was ready, he smiled and said, "Let's go." (To be continued......)
