Volume 1 Chapter 74 (2/2)

There were various thoughts in Xu Yi’s head before he suddenly took two steps forward, blocking Agnes’ way.

Agnes stopped moving and looked at Xu Yi who had suddenly appeared in front of her with a surprised look on her face.

“Human, do you need something?”

Xu Yi revealed what he considered his most gentle smile and said, “Beautiful elven miss, can I ask you what you and your tribe need help with? Perhaps I could help you with this?”

Agnes slightly knit her beautiful brows and honestly looked at Xu Yi for a while before slowly shaking her head.

“Sorry, I don’t trust humans.”

She didn’t even say goodbye after saying this, as she directly walked past Xu Yi.

Xu Yi never thought that this fellow would be this straightforward and disrespectful. When he finally reacted and wanted to block Agnes again, he saw a flash of green light from her as she directly disappeared from the gate to Angola Village.

“It’s elven magic, it’s the Shadow Stealth Spell.” Chief Siluka came to Xu Yi’s side and looked in the direction Agnes disappeared in as he said, “Unless your magic power is much stronger than hers, you won’t be able to find her and shouldn’t even think about chasing her.”

Chief Monto also came over and seriously said to Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, the elves are very hard to approach. I suggest you give up and ideas about pursuing her.”

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the two chiefs, Xu Yi knew that they must have misunderstood. He was too lazy to explain it as he asked chief Monto, “Chief Monto, the thing she wanted your help with and she said that her tribe’s situation wasn’t good…...Do you know what problem they’ve encountered?”

“Un…..This is already her third time here. I had considered it the first two times, but because I’ve already agreed to send a hundred clansmen to your factory, I could only reject her.” Chief Monto said, “As for the problem their tribe has encountered…..it’s actually quite fatal. The elven tribe she comes from lives in the Falling Rain Forest two hundred kilometers away from here. There used to be a river that ran through the Falling Rain Forest and it provided water for her tribe, but the river has become smaller lately and is even close to drying up. It has made their living conditions very difficult.”

“Oh? Something like this happened? What is the reason for the change?” Xu Yi asked in a curious voice.

“Their tribe has investigated it and the river is undergoing this change is because the silt at the bottom of the river has increased. It’s caused the river to flow in a different direction, so naturally the water flowing to their tribe has decreased.”

“Then the help they are asking you for is that they are hoping you dwarves can help them move the silt at the bottom of the lake?”

Chief Monto shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Although the magic of the elves are pretty good, but their strength is normal. They need help from us dwarves for this kind of large project, but how could we have that many people to help them. We can only reject them.”

Chief Siluka on the side gave a cold snort, “This group of elves aren’t worth helping. We are putting in all that effort to solve their problem and they’ll only give us a few icy words of thanks, they won’t even give us some wine to drink. Why would we help them?”

Chief Monto said with a sigh, “That’s right, if we could secure our own living conditions, based on old friendships, we could help them. But now we can’t even support our own clansmen, so how could we care about them?”

Xu Yi ignored the two dwarf chiefs complaining about what the elves did wrong before, rather he looked in the direction Agnes disappeared in with brows knit in deep thought.

The elves had met trouble and perhaps this wasn’t related to others, but it was not the same for Xu Yi.

He keenly felt that this was a chance, a good chance to let him establish connections with the elves.

Just like Xu Yi had said in front of the two chiefs before, as a pure human merchant, Xu Yi only considered the benefits people brought when he looked over them, he didn’t care about their race.

Even if the elves were facing problems, Xu Yi knew that they had many advantages other races didn’t have, so naturally there were enough benefits for him to explore.

If he could use this crisis of the elves to get closer to the elves, perhaps Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce will earn great benefits in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi took out the notebook he carried with him and drew several drawings before writing several detailed annotations beside the drawing. Finally he ripped it off and gave it to chief Monto.

“Chief Monto, since that elf has come to you three times, I think you should know a bit about her and her tribe, right?” Xu Yi asked.

“A bit.” Chief Monto took the paper from Xu Yi and found that he couldn’t understand it at all, “What is this thing?”

“This is a plan I’ve made for them to change the direction of the river upstream for their tribe. If you give it to her or her tribe, they should understand it.”

“Really?” Chief Monto and chief Siluka both came forward, honestly looking over the drawing on the piece of paper. They still couldn’t understand it in the end and could only give up, “But Xu Yi, why are you thinking of a way to help them? That Agnes just now didn’t have a good attitude towards you.”

Xu Yi laughed, “I believe that after she sees this thing, it will definitely change her attitude towards me.”
