Chapter 343: The Personnel Manager Who Is About to Go on a Business Trip
For a conscientious and kind-hearted half-elf like Ellene, Levi has always been relieved of 10,000.
After experiencing the evil thing incident in the endless wilderness, Li Wei seemed to have treated him as his confidant, anyway, the other party had dedicated his soul to him, what was he afraid of.
And Levi also thinks that the treatment of Erlini and their half-elf race is not bad, so when Erlini proposed to leave, Levi was a little unexpected and even stunned, and his huge body fell directly on a field that had not yet been cultivated, splashing dust all over the sky.
So much so that the slimes who heard the movement thought that it was their lords who were angry because they were passive and slacking off, and the work efficiency of the dung diggers within a radius of ten miles had increased by at least two grades.
Erleni didn't expect Levi to react so much to her imminent departure, and suddenly lowered her head like a little girl who had done something wrong and said:
"I have indeed come to say goodbye to you in person, I want to go to Comanso, where my mother once lived. And this kind of thought, in fact, I had it three years ago, but you have been sleeping, and I have received such a great kindness from you, I always think that I can't just say goodbye, that would be too much to live up to your kindness to me and my clansmen, Mr. Long. ”
Levi still didn't understand, and his claws scratched at the scales of his skull:
"Aren't all Comanso, Mistror dead? Wait a minute, are you having any difficulties? Aren't you doing a good job here? If you have any needs, you can bring them up. ”
Hearing this, the shame on Ellene's face seemed to be even stronger:
"Mr. Long, please listen to my explanation. Minas Stiris is really nice and good, so good that it sometimes makes me feel like I'm in a dream and can't wake up.
"Because this new city-state is almost exactly what I dreamed it would be, and even better than I imagined.
"Here, my sisters and I are no longer discriminated against, and we can live a stable and leisurely life by working hard, which is the dream home that we have been silently praying for in our hearts but have never been able to reach in any way.
"But the more this happens, the more I feel an inexplicable uneasiness, because this kind of treatment is not so much something we have earned ourselves, but ... It's more like you've given it..."
Levi was immediately amused by the half-elf's logic, put her on the ground, and gently tapped her little head melon with the tip of his claws:
"Don't think too much about it, do it well! What do you mean by being given? Don't be presumptuous, you are the best rangers and rangers in the whole of the Northlands, I dug you all over, Vera and Silverwing have probably slandered me behind my back all these years. Besides, have you forgotten that you are the heroine who saved the entire Northland? All this is what you deserve, and it is also created by us, and you must believe that our future will only be better. ”
The appearance of a dragon and a elf at the moment, like a black-hearted boss trying his best to retain the cheap top ten outstanding female employees who proposed to leave, the flatbread is almost painted in 3A quality.
"It's not like that... I can't even tell you about it. ”
The half-elf was a little laughing and crying by Levi's praise, she rubbed her face with both hands, tried to make herself serious, and said:
"Mr. Long, I am serious, and I have mustered up a lot of courage to bring it up to you, I am afraid that if I continue to stay, I will really be reluctant to leave. ”
Levi was suddenly unhappy, and said domineering and shameless words with his arrogant head held high:
"If you want to go, you have to give me a reason to convince me, right? Otherwise, you don't want to go anywhere, you can slip away? Believe it or not, I'll catch you halfway and throw you into a little dark room and lock you up, and if you try to slip away, I'll give you a curse for hemorrhoids." ”
"Poof. ”
Erleni was also amused by the appearance of this big silver dragon scoundrel, covered her mouth and squinted at her big watery eyes and said, "It turns out that I am in Mr. Long's heart... Is it really that important?"
"No, you're my own battle nun, if you run away, what will others think of me. Li Wei said.
Erleni didn't know what was in mind, pursed her lips a little lower, and asked Levi a question:
"Mr. Long, do you know how many half-elves like us were on the continent before there was no such city-state?"
Levi froze.
This really stopped him, and at the same time, he also vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts.
Erlene said with some bitterness: "Actually, half-elves like us who have been taken in by the Silver Moon Federation are quite lucky.
"I once met a member of the Cormier who had fled from Cormier, and she was covered with scars from abuse.
"She was a slave who had escaped from the Cormier nobility.
"She told me that in the far outback, in Cormier, Sambia, and Hantu, there were many, many more half-elven slaves like her.
"After the fall of Mistrano in Comanso, the elves and half-elves who failed to evacuate in time lived in hell, and Drow and the endless slave traps continued to eat away at their living space like locusts.
"Later, the Valley of Shadows was established, and this 'sanctuary' improved their living conditions a little, but the valley could not shelter all the elves and half-elves after all.
"And because of the contract signed between humans and elves in the valley back then, those nobles did not dare to attack the elves openly, so many half-elves like her fell victim and were brought to Cormier by the slave team.
"In Cormier, they are classified and sold according to their appearance and health level like commodities, and some 'high-quality' half-elves like her are auctioned off to the nobility, who then use them as toys to vent their hopes and inner darkness.
"The 'poorer' ones were picked and sold by the merchants like cattle, and she couldn't imagine what would happen to those people, who might be reduced to the mothers who continued to produce half-elves, or who might be dragged to the arena to participate in some unsuspenseful duels.
"Pure-blood elves are treated better because they are expensive and keep secrets high.
"The nobles there are almost always proud to own an elven slave girl...
"And a half-elf like her is just a consumable, a gift for bribes, a lubricant for all kinds of intimate banquets to enhance friendship, which can be exchanged at any time, and can be discarded at any time, and if it is broken, it will be 'disposed of'
"She escaped on the way to be dealt with, but fortunately, she still has some ranger background, so at least she can ensure that she survives.
"But the 'slave mark' imprinted on her face almost eliminates her other possibilities.
"People often look at her as if they've seen a 'lost moving coin.'"
"The owner of an inn once offered to take her in, but only if he signed a contract with him and worked as a 'part-time girl' in a tavern.
She refused without the slightest hesitation, and just as she was about to end herself in despair, she heard my story from the bard, and of the legendary city-state that you had created, Mr. Long, of 'all men are equal'.
This news was like a beam of light shining into her gloomy world, and it became her hope to live.
So it took her half a year to cross the King's Forest from Cormier, over Cape Storm and the Sunset Mountains, across the Serpentine River, through the Supreme Wasteland, all the way along the trade route of the Seburing River, and finally arrived... Minas Stirris.
"When she really saw that her 'people' could walk openly on the streets of the city-state, that they could sit in pavilions and pavilions on vacation and drink and talk with humans and dwarves, and that they could ride griffons in the sky to defend the city-state, she sat down on the street and cried heartbreakingly.
"When I saw her, it was that scene.
"I walked over and asked her why she was crying?
She said that she was really envious of us living in this land, so envious that she was jealous, so jealous that her heart seemed to be corroded and she was about to go crazy.
"Why is it that the same half-elf is like living in heaven and ... Hell...
"Why fate... It would be so unfair..."
At this point, Ellene's voice was so low that it was inaudible.
"Then she... Are you okay now?" asked Levi.
"She... Rest in peace... After just eating a decent hot meal, he lay in my arms and walked away quietly. ”
There were tears in Ellene's eyes, and she looked at Levi with some confusion:
"She was so tired, and her injuries were so severe, I could hardly imagine what kind of will and perseverance she had relied on to come here, to come to me, and tell me all this suffering.
"So I've always had an inexplicable feeling and impulse lately, and the news she brought was like a heavy mission, weighing on my heart, making me feel like I was almost suffocating, and I always felt that I had to do something. ”
"Sorry, no offense. ”
She suddenly felt a slight sinking in her head, and raised her head in a trance, only to see the tips of Mr. Long's claws gently falling on her head, and at the same time, Mr. Long's deep voice sounded again:
"This is indeed a sad story, but fate is so cruel, and our power is limited.
"I'm sorry, Ellene, and while I sympathize with your fellow citizens in Comanso, it's too far away for Zeellandia to be there. ”
He wanted to persuade the other party, 'You are the same, you are just a person, you can't change anything.' ’
But after thinking about it, I felt that such words were too hurtful and cold-blooded, and I couldn't say this sentence after all.
Instead, it was: "So, do you want to go back to your mother's hometown and change the fate of your people?" How difficult will this road be?"
Without hearing the imaginary blows and dissuasion, Erlene sucked her little reddish nose, plucked up the courage to raise her head, looked at the steady and reliable figure like a mountain in front of her, pursed her lips and asked with a smile:
"No matter how difficult this road is, is it even more difficult and difficult for you, Mr. Long, to rise from the Dark Regions and single-handedly strengthen Zelandia, break through the blockade of Drow and come to the surface to establish this city-state?"
From the day she swore everything to Levi, everything was no longer a secret to her, the chief sister of battle, about Levi's identity and experience.
It was the knowledge of how legendary and valuable the establishment of this city-state was, which gave her some hope to embark on this equally difficult road of revival.
Hearing this, Li Wei turned his head slightly and smiled, and wanted to say, "I have a plug-in, do you have one?"
But all the words in my heart finally turned into a sigh.
After dealing with them for so many years, I don't know that for a chaotic and kind half-elf like Ellene, once a certain belief is identified, it is often persistent to move forward and never change.
Since it can't be changed, I can only send a blessing:
"Well, you've convinced me, but do you have any plans for this trip? Don't tell me that you're going to Comantor to rebuild Mistrno, because I'm afraid I'll bite off your leg and make you lie in bed and calm down. ”
"How is it possible, if I can still consider the relics of the elven royal family, just such a poor half-elf as me, it is better to spare me. ”
Erlene couldn't help but be amused by Levi again, and then immediately retracted her shape and said, "Well, my idea may sound a little silly, don't make fun of me." ”
"Uh-huh. Levi nodded his head.
Erinee pursed her lips and said, "In fact, I didn't know how to change all of this at first, and even like you said, I probably couldn't change anything.
"But the deceased man inspired me.
"The story of me and Minas Stiris gives her so much hope and courage.
"Perhaps, then, as the protagonist of that story, I can be a banner that brings together those who have a longing for Mr. Long and Minas Tiris. ”
Speaking of this, Ellene couldn't help but glance at Levi, who was squinting his eyes and 'calculating' something, and pouted:
"Didn't you also say that the more 'cheap laborers' like us, who are experienced and have a strong military background, the better, if I 'coax' a large number of people to migrate together, Mr. Long... You should be welcome, right?"
"Well, the more the merrier. ”
Levi shook his head almost instinctively, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Wait, where did you hear the term 'cheap labor'? When did I give you 'little angels' such an evaluation! Fake! It must be Fisher's big mouth!"
Ellene laughed again, covered her mouth and said:
"Well, how many people still can't ask for your position as a 'cheap laborer', at least I enjoy it, and I believe that my people are happy to accept this position, so I will assume that you will accept these sisters from afar in the near future. ”
"Don't worry, keep as much as you fool over, and we will take it all. ”
Levi made an unrecognizable capital 'OK' with a dragon claw.
He thought about it, but he still 'conjured' a silver scale the size of a head from his palm and stuffed it into Elina's hand:
"There are magical coordinates on this scale that can be accurately located, you bring it, if you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, 'pray' to me, and I will respond to you. ”
"Well, thank you, Mr. Long. Ellene held the scales tightly in her arms, as if she were holding something precious.
"When are you going to leave?" asked Levi.
"After handing over the work with my colleagues in the past two days, I will set off. Ellene said with her head bowed slightly.
"Okay, before you leave, remember to go to the Fischer Curator, and I'll ask him to prepare some reliable equipment and supplies for you. ”
Levi raised his claws and motioned for her not to interrupt her words: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, since your trip is to recruit more employees for us Zelandia, this is naturally considered a business matter, so these are the travel expenses and operating funds advanced to you in advance."
He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Well, then your current position should be called Human Resources Manager, Ellene, congratulations on your promotion again." ”
"Then I thank you so much, boss!"
Ellene, who couldn't laugh or cry, smiled and her eyes narrowed.
A dragon and a half elf chatted for a long time in the endless field, until the sun was waning, and Erleni said goodbye to Levi with some reluctance, and left in the direction of Baicheng step by step.
It wasn't until after Ellene's figure disappeared that Levi said in the direction of the sparkling lake:
"Come out, Bethena, do you have any experience after eavesdropping for so long?"
As soon as the words fell, the originally calm inner lake of the Endless Fields suddenly burst into a sky-high splash, and Miss Frost Giant landed on the edge of the lake like a mermaid jumping into the water.
"Poof, how can you talk for so long, phew, you're almost suffocating me. ”
Miss Frost Giant spit out the fathead fish in her mouth and looked at Li Weidao with some puzzlement, her majestic and magnificent chest couldn't help but fluctuate.
