Chapter 114: A Sincere Request
Because it involves the production design of a variety of new magic forging machine tools, the meeting between Xu Yi and Camby and other dwarves has been held for a long time, and it has not even ended during the normal off-duty time, so that when the preliminary plan is finally determined, after the meeting, Xu Yi walked out of the workshop and found that the outside had been shrouded in night.
It's already December, and the cold of deep winter has already arrived, and by nightfall, the temperature outside has of course become very cold.
Suddenly walking out of the workshop that seemed very warm because of the magic air conditioner blowing all the time, Xu Yi was blown by the cold wind outside, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The few dwarves who came out with him were no different, although they were obviously not as well dressed as Xu Yiduo, but they were all in good spirits and couldn't see any cold appearance.
Camby also stood on tiptoe and patted Xu Yi's shoulder with great interest, and laughed loudly: "President, your human body is too weak. I think you should work harder, and don't always be like those human magicians, as if a gust of wind can blow them away. ”
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and glanced at Camby's two thick and strong bodies, and shook his head: "Forget it, no matter how you practice, you can't compare to you dwarves so talented, it's better for me to go back and wear two more clothes." ”
Camby touched it in his arms, took out a bottle and threw it to Xu Yi.
"Here's half a bottle of good wine that I haven't finished, and you'll be warm up after two sips. ”
Xu Yi took the wine bottle and smelled it, and sure enough, he smelled a strong aroma of wine, and couldn't help frowning: "Camby, didn't I say that you are not allowed to drink alcohol during work hours?
Camby touched his head. Hehe smiled: "Don't worry, so many brothers are looking at me." I'm not going to break the rules. I just carry this bottle of wine in my arms and take a sip when I get off work. You can rest assured. There was no delay. ”
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly, thinking that it was obviously impossible for these dwarves who were addicted to alcohol to quit drinking completely, and it was already very rare for Kanbi to be able to restrain himself so hard.
Unscrewed the cap of the bottle, raised his neck and poured it down, and sure enough, he felt a hot sensation from his throat directly into his stomach, and after a while, the alcohol steamed from his stomach, and the heat came out of his stomach.
Xu Yi exhaled a breath of wine, feeling much more comfortable. He waved his hand at the dwarves and strode out of the factory.
Walking to the black light outside the factory that was not within the scope of the light, Xu Yi remembered that he had specially ordered that the two carriages that were ready outside the factory at any time were sent for the use of those magicians, but now there was no one left.
And it was already night, and there would be no carriage passing by in this remote place in the suburbs, so Xu Yi looked left and right, and finally found out depressedly. He had to walk back to Bunta City on his feet.
Fortunately, Bangta City is not too far from here, Xu Yi smiled bitterly, and poured another sip of wine into his mouth to lift his spirits. Strode towards Bonta City.
Before he could go far, Xu Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his originally confused eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Who's coming out!" Xu Yi snorted coldly into the darkness beside him.
In the shadow of the trees in the front left. The space suddenly distorted strangely, and a figure slowly walked out.
Xu also looked through the moonlight. Then I saw the slender figure of this man, and the pair of long, pointed ears on either side of his head.
"Miss Yanis, why are you?" asked Xu Yi in amazement.
This guy who appeared out of nowhere. It's actually the female elf Yanis!
Under the moonlight, Yanise's whole body seemed to reflect a hazy light, reflecting her whole person like a dream, as if she didn't look like a real person at all.
Xu also knew that this was the characteristic of the elf race.
The elves claim to be the children of Elune, the goddess of the moonlight, and will receive some special blessings under the moonlight, such as the circle of light that now shrouds the periphery of Yanis's body, which can cancel out a large part of the magical and physical damage, and can also make Yanis's body more agile and lighter.
All the races on the continent of Sainz are convinced that challenging an elf race of the same level in the forest and under the moonlight is no different from seeking death.
And challenge the elves in the forest under the moonlight...... Then this guy must be crazy.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's eyes became more vigilant when he looked at Yanis.
Although he had just passed the fifth-level assessment and was now a fifth-level magician, judging from the fact that she was able to use the elven magic of the Shadow Concealment Technique when she first met Yanis, her strength was only stronger than Xu Yi, and if she suddenly wanted to be unfavorable to Xu Yi, I am afraid that Xu Yi would be more than lucky.
Fortunately, Yanis did not show the slightest hostility, and after stepping out of the shadows, she even made a standard elven etiquette to Xu Yi.
"Hello President Xu. In the light of Elune, I sincerely express my great pleasure at your return. ”
Xu Yi was stunned, Yanis actually expressed her feelings in the name of Elune, which showed that she was really happy.
But why?
Why is Yanise so happy when he comes back?
"Because I've been waiting for you for a week. Annis replied.
Xu Yi was even more puzzled: "It's only a week, for you elven clan, this is not much longer than the time of us humans in the blink of an eye." ”
"Yes. But for the people who are plagued by water problems, even a minute is too long. There was a hint of gloom on Annis's near-perfect face, a rare sentiment for elves. "Before leaving the tribe, the river that ran through the forest had almost cut off, and life was now very difficult. ”
Xu Yi glanced at the expression on Yanis's face, and couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you thought of another way to solve it? Since you live in the Rainfall Forest, the water source shouldn't be just that river, right?"
Yanis shook her head slightly: "Originally, it was fine, but since the river began to dry up, the forest has also been affected, and now many trees in the Falling Rain Forest have begun to wither. The Great Elder said. If this continues, even the entire Forest of Falling Rain will disappear. In that case. We had to be forced to move out. ”
Xu Yi wanted to say, "If you move away, you can move away, and it's not a big deal." But seeing the sad expression on Annis's face, and thinking of the legendary elves' love and even obsession with their hometown, this sentence was not spoken.
"Well, Miss Janis, judging from the situation you described, if it wasn't for the fact that the Falling Rain Forest was suddenly attacked by the legendary curse forbidden spell, then there was only one reason why it suddenly became what it is now, and that is the destruction of the ecological environment in the upper reaches of the river. ”
"The ecological environment has been destroyed, what does this mean?" Yanis looked at Xu Yi suspiciously.
Xu Yi patted his head, thinking that the term ecological environment is a very fashionable word even on the earth. Not to mention putting it on the continent of Sainz.
"Hmm...... This thing is very complicated, and it is not clear to explain it for a while. Didn't your tribe send people to look at the upper reaches of the river? I can guarantee that the upper reaches of that river must have been particularly eroded...... Oh, you probably don't understand this word, to put it simply, there should be no trees and vegetation on the land upstream, bare, and the original soil is probably turned into sand, and then washed down by the river. They took them downstream with them, and eventually the sediment at the bottom of the river accumulated, which eventually caused the river to be diverted or even cut off. Am I right?"
Hearing Xu Yi say his guess in one breath. Yanis's eyes gradually lit up as she looked at Xu Yi.
"President Xu, you haven't been there, why do you know so well?" Annis shouted in surprise.
"I'm just making a simple inference from what you're talking about. Xu Yi shrugged.
Yanise immediately asked expectantly, "Then you must have a solution, right?"
"I can't guarantee that. Xu Yi smiled bitterly.
Addressing river diversions caused by soil erosion. Even in the industrialized super-developed earth, it is a thorny problem, let alone in the Sainz continent, where the level of technology is extremely low.
"But didn't you give me a drawing last time?" It is said that this method should be able to solve the problems we encountered. So you must have a way, right?"
"But you even refused my request to visit your tribe, how can I help you?" Xu Yi spread his hands.
Janis paused. Suddenly, he squatted down, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, bent down and gave Xu Yi an unusually solemn courtesy, and said in a very serious tone: "President Xu, please forgive me for my previous offense to you. After I brought back your request last time, the elders decided to grant your request and allow you to go on a field trip to our tribe. So now I solemnly ask you, can you come back to the tribe with me and help us solve the problems we have and save our tribe and people?"
In the end, Yanis raised her head and looked at Xu Yi expectantly, her eyes full of hope.
The moonlight happened to shine on Yanis's face, and her fair and perfect face was shrouded in soft light, making her whole person exude a mysterious and beautiful allure, so that Xu Yi almost agreed directly.
"This ...... I'd love to help you, but you see...... I've just come back from Anvimar City, and I still have a lot of things to attend to, so I can't take a break from ......."
"How long will it take you to finish dealing with this here?" Janis immediately asked.
Xu Yi touched his chin: "It's not certain, some things are difficult to handle, and I'm not sure how long it will take." ”
Yanis's eyes suddenly dimmed, and after thinking for a moment, she pleaded again, "President Xu, I sincerely hope that you can help us. If you need to be paid, the elders have made a decision that if you can help us solve this problem, whatever you need to be paid, as long as we can afford it, we will say yes. ”
"Can you give you to me as a reward?" Xu Yi couldn't help but make a joke.
Who knew that Yanis just hesitated for a moment, and then immediately nodded seriously: "Okay"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes helplessly, sighed, stretched out his hand to help Yanis up, put aside his bantering thoughts, looked at Yanis and said seriously, "Miss Yanis, you have to believe that I do have the idea of helping you solve the problem, otherwise, I would not have made a special trip to Patriarch Monto to hand over the drawings and asked him to pass them on to you." ”
Yanis nodded slightly, "Yes." That's why I'm coming to you. ”
"That's good. So I would like to tell you in earnest that while I would love to help you solve your problems immediately, I do have a lot of important things to deal with. And if I want to solve the problems you are encountering, it is not a matter of one or two days, I have to make some preparations, and then I can go to your tribe for a field trip, and then determine the solution according to the actual situation, do you understand what I mean?"
Yanis continued to nod, "Yes, I understand. But President Xu, how long will it take you to come with me to our tribe?"
"I can't really give you an exact answer to that. But I think within this year, I should have time to make a trip. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Within this year?" Yanis said with a smile as she blinked her big black and beautiful eyes like a toddler, thought for a moment, and smiled. ”
If it were a human being, it would be common to add something like "I hope you don't break your promise", but Yanis simply said "yes", as if she was fully confident that Xu Yi would fulfill her promise.
Xu Yi sighed in his heart, and said to Yanis: "Since this is the case, then Miss Yanis, we will make up our minds for the time being." When I'm done with the urgent business here, I'll send a message to Patriarch Monto, and ask him to relay it to you or your people. Please be patient and wait for my news. With that, he waved to Annis and turned away.
After taking two steps, Xu Yi was stunned to find that Yanis was still following him, and she didn't seem to leave at all.
Xu Yi turned his head to look at her: "Miss Yanis, what are you still doing with me? Aren't we agreed? You can go back to your clan now, and come back to me when I send a message to Patriarch Monto." ”
Yanis shook her head slightly: "The order of the elders to me is to let me go back to the clan with you, since you can't go now, then I can only follow you first, and when you decide to go, we will set off together." ”
Xu Yi pointed to himself and said incredulously: "You mean, you plan to stay with me all this time?"
Yanis nodded with a serious expression: "Yes." ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but pat his head.
This elf girl is actually a single-celled fool, right? (To be continued......
