Banta City under the cover of night was not as lively as it was during the day. Other than some shops that were still open at night, the entire city seemed to have gradually fallen into a deep sleep.
If one looked down from the sky, it would be completely dark with only a few places lit up. It wasn't like the cities on earth that were still lit up at night.
In these places that were lit up, Xu Yi's home was also included.
It was different from normal candles. On the table in the living room of Xu Yi's home, there was a Magic Lamp placed on it.
The faint green light released through the light green glass not only lit up the entire room, it also lit up Still who had her head lowered like she was deep in thought with an arm supporting her head.
Seeing that Stiel didn't have any spots under the light, looking at her white and tender skin that didn't have any blemishes, Xu Yi couldn't help praising, "Stiel, actually I feel that you can become the spokesperson for the Chanel Chamber of Commerce.
With your outstanding skin as an advertisement, I guarantee that the Chanel Chamber of Commerce's perfumes and powders will sell even more than before! "
Although Stiel didn't move and the expression on her face didn't change, she gave a soft snort and said, "There's no use trying to please me.
If you don't tell me why this elf is following you, I won't forgive you. "
Xu Yi looked at Agnes who was sitting in front of Stiel with a drawing board in her hand, concentrating on drawing. He replied with a bitter smile, "Didn't I tell you at dinner that she came to find me to solve the problem of her tribe? The reason why she's following me is to wait for me to take care of the matters here before bringing me to her tribe.
Don't you think so, Agnes? "
"Ah?"
Agnes was focused on drawing when she suddenly heard Xu Yi mention her name. She was surprised before looking up at Xu Yi and nodding with a dazed look.
"Ah, right."
Seeing Agnes' appearance, Stiel gave another snort, "Xu Yi, if you want to collude with her, you should at least put in some effort. Like this, do you think I'll believe you?"
Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"We're not criminals. Why should we collude?"
Xu Yi was about to explain further when he suddenly saw a trace of sadness flash across Stiel's face. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't continue.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Xu Yi looked at Stiel for a while before suddenly saying, "Stiel, I've heard Great Magician Camilla say that the night I came back from Anvilmar City, you personally cooked a few dishes and wanted to invite me to your home for a meal?"
Stiel's expression froze, and then she said indifferently, "You didn't come that day, so I threw away all the dishes.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up? "
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of it and wanted to thank you." Xu Yi said.
"In this world, other than Vivian, this is the first time someone has cooked for me and invited me to a meal. I'm very happy."
Vivian, who had been sitting beside Xu Yi without saying a word, narrowed her eyes and revealed a proud smile.
Stiel couldn't maintain her posture anymore. She looked up in surprise and asked, "First time?
You've never done it before? "
"No."
Xu Yi shook his head. Although he had done it on earth, this was indeed his first time in this world.
Stiel acted like it was her first time seeing Xu Yi. She looked over Xu Yi a few times and then she suddenly revealed a smile as she said, "Alright, since you know how to thank me, I'll forgive you this time.
Other than that, I'll give you a special privilege. If you want to eat my dishes in the future, you can tell me at any time and I'll make them for you.
Of course, you can only have this privilege once, so you have to cherish it. "
Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a smile, "Then I really have to thank you."
Seeing the happy smile on Stiel's face, he couldn't help saying in an emotional voice, "Stiel, I take back what I said this afternoon.
Although your calm and elegant side is also very good, compared to that, I still like seeing your happy smile more.
I don't know why, but when I see you smile, I feel much more at ease. "
Stiel's face revealed a faint blush. She rolled her eyes at Xu Yi and softly scolded, "Idiot ….."
When Xu Yi and Stiel were both in a strange mood, Agnes suddenly clapped her hands.
"It's done."
"It's done?
This fast? "
Stiel put down her arms in a daze and walked over to Agnes' side. She looked at the drawing board in Agnes' hands and couldn't help shouting in surprise, "It's too beautiful!"
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, "Hey, Stiel, you're the one drawn on there, do you need to be this narcissistic?"
Stiel glared at Xu Yi and then took the drawing board from Agnes' hands. She turned it over to face Xu Yi, "You don't think it's beautiful?"
"Of course I think ….." Xu Yi's eyes fell onto the drawing board and it was like he was attracted by a magnet, not willing to look away at all.
In this drawing, Stiel had her left elbow on the table and her left cheek on her palm. Her right hand was on the table and she was sliding her two fingers across the table. She had a lazy look on her face, as if she was thinking about something, but also as if she wasn't thinking about anything.
On the side of the table, there was a Magic Lamp releasing a faint green glow. It covered Stiel in a faint green glow, giving Stiel a mysterious aura. It made people want to know why this girl would reveal such a puzzling expression.
Compared to Master Anlios' drawing in the afternoon, the lines on this drawing were much clearer and Stiel's expression was even more dazzling. Whether it was the composition or the mood, it was much better than Master Anlios' drawing.
What made Xu Yi even more satisfied was that the background was chosen in the middle of the night. The entire drawing was set by the green glow of the Magic Lamp, so no one could ignore this Magic Lamp that played a key role.
Moreover, because this Magic Lamp's design was decided by Agnes and Vivian, Agnes was more clear than anyone about the design of this Magic Lamp. Therefore, she was able to draw it even more smoothly. She was able to show off the delicate and beautiful appearance of the Magic Lamp, making everyone's eyes move from Stiel to the Magic Lamp and they would be attracted to it.
Even when Xu Yi saw this drawing, he couldn't help having the desire to buy a Magic Lamp. It could be seen just how powerful this drawing was.
After carefully looking over this painting several dozen times, Xu Yi wasn't stingy as he gave Agnes a thumbs up, "This painting is too good!
Agnes, you really are a natural born painter! "
Agnes shook her head and said, "If it wasn't for young miss Stiel being beautiful and this Magic Lamp being beautiful, this drawing wouldn't be this good."
Hearing Agnes praise her beauty, Stiel suddenly felt that her actions just now were a bit laughable.
Stiel was a cheerful and open-minded girl. After thinking of this, she felt that Agnes wasn't that displeasing to her eyes anymore. Even her long and sharp ears looked very interesting.
"Agnes, you're too modest. I feel like this drawing can be considered a work of art." Stiel praised Agnes.
Agnes actually didn't know what modesty was, she was only speaking her true thoughts, but receiving the praise of Xu Yi and Stiel made her very happy.
Of course, Xu Yi was even happier than the two of them.
Now that reality proved that Agnes had greater artistic talent than Master Anlios, Xu Yi didn't need to endure Master Anlios anymore.
If Master Anlios continued to ignore his request like he did in the afternoon, then Xu Yi would not hesitate to end their cooperation and have him scram.
But there was a prerequisite to this, which was how to keep Agnes.
If it was said that Xu Yi treated Agnes differently before because of her identity as an elf, now Xu Yi found that Agnes herself had enough value to move his heart.
Agnes with her shocking artistic talent, other than being able to replace Master Anlios, she could also cooperate with Vivian to design a beautiful and attractive design for the New Flyer's products.
Don't look down on the design of a product. On earth with its highly developed industrial technology, many products had already matured and the differences between them were often reflected in the design.
An excellent design could make a product stand out and even create a higher value for the product.
Sometimes, just based on the design, the price of the same product would be very different.
Although the magic machine industry had just started in Sines, in order to prepare for a rainy day, Xu Yi wouldn't let go of an outstanding designer that was sent to his door.
But Agnes' identity as an elf was a very large obstacle.
Compared to the dwarves, the gap between the elves and humans was even larger.
The dwarves would occasionally come to live in human cities, but there wasn't a single elf.
How to convince Agnes to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a large problem.
"Agnes, after your tribe's problem is solved, I'll let you live in Banta City, are you willing?" Xu Yi asked in a probing voice.
Agnes looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Why would I want to live in Banta City?
Of course I want to return to my tribe. "
"It really is like this ….." Xu Yi muttered. He wasn't willing to give up as he kept asking, "Then in what situation would you be willing to live in Banta City?
Un, to be honest, I want to hire you to work for our New Flyer, are you willing? "
Stiel looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Xu Yi, even if Agnes draws better than Master Anlios, she is still an elf ….."
Agnes shook her head, "Many thanks for Chairman Xu's invitation, but I hope to live with my clansmen."
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before suddenly saying, "Then if I help your tribe solve their problem, what if I ask for you as a reward?"
Stiel and Vivian looked up at Xu Yi in shock.
Was he joking?
However, Agnes met the gazes of the three of them and calmly nodded.
"If Chairman Xu requests it, I'm willing."
