Xu Yi and Stiel stayed in the Falling Rain Valley for an entire week before leaving.
Compared to when they came, there were many more people with them when they left.
Other than the three female elves from the Moon Shadow Tribe and Agnes who was going back to work, there was an extra male and female elves from the Nightsong tribe.
These two elves were specially chosen by elder Elucía from the Nightsong tribe, planning to have them manage the plastic processing factory that the Nightsong tribe opened.
The male elf was called Amelud, he was mainly in charge of managing the factory. The female elf was called Delil, she was mainly in charge of negotiating with the outside world.
This time elder Elucía had the two of them go to Banta City with Xu Yi. Other than being the representatives of the Nightsong tribe to officially apply to the Lampari Kingdom to set up a factory, they also wanted to learn how to manage a company and a factory with Xu Yi's help.
With Xu Yi and the New Flyer's current position in Banta City, they could easily find this learning opportunity for them.
Other than that, the ones who needed Xu Yi's help were the three female elves from the Moon Shadow Tribe.
They wanted to work for a company other than the New Flyer, which wasn't difficult for Xu Yi.
After the Armani Chamber of Commerce hired the five elves from the Nightsong tribe, it had created a stir in Banta City and the surrounding cities.
Because the elves only worked for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, no matter how high the price the other companies gave the elves, the elves would disdain them. So the other companies had already given up on this idea.
This time the elves actually joined a company other than the New Flyer, which instantly filled the other companies with hope. They all proposed to Xu Yi that they wanted to hire elves.
Not mentioning anything else, just the advertising effect of hiring elves was enough to match the high wages of the elves.
So if Xu Yi released the news that there were three elves who wanted to work for other companies, all the companies in Banta City and the surrounding cities would rush over.
For Xu Yi, what he needed to consider first was which company and which job suited the three female elves.
Stiel was their agent and manager, so he had asked them about this before. But because the three of them didn't understand the various jobs in human society, they couldn't be certain.
So after Xu Yi and Stiel brought them to Banta City, they planned on letting them spend some time to understand the jobs before making a decision.
But thinking of how they spent four months to understand the Nightsong tribe, Xu Yi couldn't help giving a bitter smile.
The Night Song Clan was just a small clan with a population of about a thousand elves. It was so simple, yet it took them more than four months to understand it. If it were a much more complicated human society with more complicated jobs with different natures, wouldn't it take them one or two years to have a complete basic understanding of it?
Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help asking Agnes who was sitting in the same carriage as him, "Agnes, what have Stasia and the others been doing in the Nightsong tribe during these months?
I don't believe that it would take them four months to investigate how your tribe cooperated with our company, that would be too exaggerated. "
Agnes tilted her head to think, "They didn't do anything, they just lived with us each day.
President, is four months a long time? "
"What do you think?" Xu Yi snappily asked back.
Agnes thought about it before saying with a look of understanding, "Oh, right, four months is very long for humans.
With such a long time, I can even design several new products with Vivian. "
"Look, you also know that time is very precious, right?" Xu Yi said in a gratified voice.
Agnes was the elf who had been by his side the longest. Under his influence, she was already used to looking at problems from a human's point of view.
Perhaps elder Elucía saw this happy change from Agnes, so she made the decision to take another step forward.
"Perhaps it's because the elder wants them to stay in our tribe for a bit longer." Agnes guessed.
"Although the elder didn't tell me, I often saw the elder talking to them and asking about the Moon Shadow Tribe. I feel that the elder must want to understand what the Moon Shadow Tribe is like from them."
"There is this possibility, but I feel that elder Elucía doesn't just want to understand the Moon Shadow Tribe ….."
Xu Yi thought of how elder Elucía specially mentioned that she wanted to open a rubber processing factory, so he was even more certain of his guess.
The Lampari Kingdom didn't have rubber trees, but there were quite a few in the Principality of Constantine.
The Moon Shadow Tribe was the only elf tribe in the Principality of Constantine, so elder Elucía wanted to deepen the relationship with the Moon Shadow Tribe. It was very likely that she wanted to cooperate with the Moon Shadow Tribe in rubber processing.
Of course, cooperating with them might not be elder Elucía's main goal. Her real goal was to strengthen the relationship between the elves of two different tribes.
Most of the elves in the Sines were scattered in various places. Because the elves rarely left the area they lived in, even if the elves of different tribes were of the same race, they rarely contacted each other.
Now that there was this chance, elder Elucía naturally wasn't willing to miss it.
On the way, she talked with Agnes about her feelings towards Stasia's group and the Moon Shadow Tribe. The horse carriage quickly went from the flat Falling Rain Road to Banta City.
After entering Banta City, Xu Yi and Stiel split up.
Stiel brought the three Moon Shadow Tribe female elves and the two Nightsong tribe elves to Sandton Manor to take a look, while also arranging their residences.
Xu Yi and Agnes went to the City Lord's Manor.
It was already the middle of June and according to the time that the company's Satsuma Count revealed, it was close to the day he would leave Banta City.
After Xu Yi entered the City Lord's Manor, he saw that the servants were already packing their luggage.
After seeing Satsuma Count, Satsuma Count didn't hide anything as he directly said to Xu Yi, "In three days, Count Stark who will take over from me will come to Banta City to take over from me.
So Xu Yi, you only have three days left. If there's anything you need me to do, use these three days to quickly tell me. "
Xu Yi shook his head, "Lord City Lord, you've already helped me and the New Flyer enough, you should properly take care of your own matters during these three days.
Please be assured, Count Stark taking over as the City Lord doesn't mean that the end is near, right?
Although there will be many problems, I've already made enough preparations. I think it won't affect the development of the New Flyer. "
"It's good that you're confident." Satsuma Count gave a rare pat on Xu Yi's shoulder, clearly showing his praise for Xu Yi.
"With you leading the New Flyer, I believe that it will develop smoothly.
Of course, if there are any difficulties, I hope that you can talk to her highness more.
The main reason why I support you so much is because of Her Highness's clear support for you. "
"I understand."
Xu Yi nodded. After hesitating a bit, he hesitantly asked, "Lord City Lord, her highness ….. is her situation getting better?"
Satsuma Count revealed a faint smile, "You know that caring for her highness is a good thing, but my suggestion to you is that you shouldn't care about this right now.
Since I'm about to leave, I'll be a bit more direct with you.
Xu Yi, although you and the New Flyer have great potential and her highness and I are very optimistic about you, you are still too weak right now and aren't suited for participating in these matters.
Since her highness and I place importance on your and the New Flyer's potential, naturally we need you to develop steadily and not be destroyed midway.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Xu Yi slowly nodded, "Yes, her highness already explained this to me last time.
I'm just ….. a bit unwilling. "
"There's nothing to be unwilling about."
Satsuma Count said with a serious expression, "Remember, you and the New Flyer being able to develop is the true wish of me and her highness.
You don't need to care about anything else right now! "
Xu Yi let out a long sigh and nodded with a bitter smile, "Alright, I'll remember.
Alright, Lord City Lord, let's not talk about these unpleasant things and talk about proper matters.
According to the time, today should be the day that Major MacConley promised me. Did they arrive on time? "
"Follow me."
Xu Yi followed Count Satsuma to the back of the City Lord's Manor.
Just as they turned a corner, they could hear endless shouts from behind. It sounded like there were several hundred people.
Xu Yi asked in a surprised voice, "Could it be that they're training in the City Lord's Manor?"
Satsuma Count Satsuma laughed, "They actually came the day before yesterday.
Because their statuses weren't suited for the city guards' barracks and I couldn't find a place to settle them. Since you who should be handling this matter wasn't here, I left them here for now. "
Xu Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose and explained, "I thought that they would come on the day of the appointment.
Moreover, there were some unexpected matters that I had to take care of, so I didn't have time to come back. "
Satsuma Count Satsuma shook his head, "There's no need to explain. Safely handing these people to you should be the last thing I can do for you in Banta City, so this isn't much."
Xu Yi's heart warmed and he gave a slight nod, but he didn't say anything else. He silently followed Count Satsuma forward and arrived at the small field behind the City Lord's Manor after a while.
There was a group of bare chested large men training under Hart's lead on the small field. Their movements were uniform and it was shocking just looking at them.
However, when Xu Yi looked over and counted in his heart, he was surprised.
"Why are there so many people?"
