After being stunned for a while, Narvil finally reacted and quickly ran to Xu Yi's side.
"Sir chairman, why are you here?"
Xu Yi smiled at him, "I had something to do in the Kingdom of Ruhr, it's not that far from here.
I received news that your fleet had arrived, so I came to take a look. "After saying this, he turned to the three Magic Boats and asked," How is it?
Was the trip smooth? "
Narvil laughed, "With the goddess of luck's care, although there were some small problems along the way, it was very smooth overall.
Moreover … … "Narvil gave a cough and lowered his voice.
"Sir Guild Leader, a few days ago, we discovered a very valuable island in the open sea less than 200 kilometers away from here …"
"Very valuable?" Seeing Narvil's expression, Xu Yi instantly understood.
"Then what is the situation on the island now?"
Narvil made a reassuring gesture.
"There's basically no problem, I'll report the specific situation to you later."
Xu Yi nodded, "I'm assured in the things you do, but I don't have time to take care of this matter right now. You take care of it first and report the details to me after we return to the Principality of Constantine."
"This … …" Narvil thought about it and felt that the situation on Thunderbolt Island wasn't urgent, so he wasn't in a rush to report to Xu Yi, so he gave up.
But there was another matter that he had to tell Xu Yi as soon as possible.
Hearing Narvil talk about the matter that chairman Randolph had come to discuss, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He patted Narvil's shoulder and praised, "You've done very well.
Tell chairman Randolph that our New Flyer can consider his request to transport the goods. As for the specifics, I hope that he can personally come to the Principality of Constantine to make a decision, it's not good to make a rash decision now.
As for the minerals ….. it's fine as long as he does his best, there's no need to force him. "
"Un?" Narvil was a bit surprised.
Sir President had clearly placed great importance on this matter before he set off, so why did he put on an indifferent expression now?
Seeing the doubt in Narvil's heart, Xu Yi smiled and explained, "There are some changes in the cooperation with the Kingdom of Ruhr. If nothing unexpected happens, our company will be able to obtain a very high amount of mineral resources from the Kingdom of Ruhr, so we don't need to rush the private transactions.
Of course, I don't mean that we don't need to do these things, but we need to continue doing them.
Because our Chamber of Commerce's demand for mineral resources is endless. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Understood!"
Narvil nodded his head and then asked curiously, "Sir chairman, is it because the Kingdom of Ruhr needs something from our company that they are willing to give in?"
"More or less." Xu Yi smiled.
This reason was related to the cooperation with the Azshara Tribe, but it wasn't convenient to reveal it to Narvil now.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't say anything, Narvil tactfully didn't continue asking.
There wasn't anything urgent to report, so Narvil's eyes couldn't help but look at the little girl who had run under the Morning Sun without him noticing. She looked up and was sizing up the Morning Sun with interest.
"Sir chairman, this little girl is ….."
"She's called Lumi, can't you tell who she is?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Narvil shook his head and thought that he wasn't a god, so how could he tell who this little girl was from her appearance?
But from sir chairman's tone, he could guess that this little girl's identity wasn't normal.
However, judging from her attire and temperament, she didn't look like a child from a noble family.
Moreover, with sir chairman's current position in the Kingdom of Ruhr, the only person he would think of as having an extraordinary identity would be the princess of the Kingdom of Ruhr, right?
But no matter how he looked at it, this little girl with disheveled hair and clothes of mixed colours couldn't be related to the princess at all.
Seeing that Narvil didn't recognize Lumi, Xu Yi couldn't help feeling a bit surprised.
Then he relaxed.
The halflings had disappeared from the continent for too long.
Even the records of the halflings in the various documents had almost turned into pure legends.
So in everyone's mind, the halflings had already disappeared from the continent.
Moreover, the halflings looked very similar to human children, there were very few differences.
If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Yi was very interested in the halflings' knowledge of magic machines, so he had read through a large amount of documents, as well as seeing Lumi with a group of elves beside her, it would have been very hard for him to recognize that Lumi was a halfling of legends.
When Xu Yi was thinking about whether he should use this chance to reveal Lumi's identity, Lumi suddenly ran over and loudly said to Xu Yi with an excited look, "Hey, Xu Yi, this ship is simply great!
How did you make it? "
Xu Yi revealed a smile, "This isn't something that I could make alone, it was made by the combined strength of countless people in our New Flyer.
How about it, Lumi?
After seeing this Magic Boat, do you feel that your idea of spending five thousand gold coins to make a ship that can go out to sea is a joke? "
Lumi wrinkled her small nose and snorted softly. She muttered in a low voice, "I haven't come out for a long time. I didn't know you humans had reached such a high level in this aspect." She immediately became excited.
Then she became excited, "Hey, Xu Yi, these three ships are this strong, could it be that they can't go out to sea?
You must be lying to me! "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "Why would I lie to you?
Although in theory these three Magic Boats can go out to sea, the dangers of going out to sea far surpass your imagination. You can ask Narvil if you don't believe me. "
Seeing Xu Yi point at him, Narvil was surprised.
When he heard the conversation between Xu Yi and Lumi, his heart was filled with doubt.
This little girl named Lumi actually dared to call sir chairman by his name, this meant that her identity wasn't small.
But what did this little girl say after that … …
"The current level of you humans in this aspect?"
What did she mean by "you humans"?
Could it be that she wasn't a human?
While he was considering the meaning of these words, Lumi had already jumped in front of Narvil. She looked up at him and asked, "Hey, you're called Narvil, right?
Tell me, is going out to sea really as dangerous as Xu Yi said? "
Seeing Xu Yi running over, Narvil immediately understood. He gave a cough and nodded before replying with a serious look, "Yes, Lumi ….. young miss.
Going out to sea on the endless sea, the dangers are very terrifying, far surpassing your imagination. "
Seeing Lumi's doubtful look, Narvil raised his voice, "Don't look at me with such doubtful eyes. These three ships set off from the Principality of Constantine and travelled over two thousand kilometers on the sea to get here. I am the commander of these three ships.
So I know the dangers better than anyone! "
Lumi muttered before lowering her head to think. When she looked up again, she seemed a bit dejected as she turned to Xu Yi and said with a sigh, "Then I have to obediently wait a few years?"
Xu Yi gave a slight nod, "Yes.
Didn't you say it yourself, you've already waited for a hundred years, there's no problem waiting another five or ten years, right? "
"Un … …" Lumi was silent for a bit before suddenly clapping her hands and giving a loud un sound.
"Alright, let's do it like we agreed on before."
After saying this, she turned to look at the Unfolding Wings, the Morning Sun, and the Goddess of Victory Iris, as her eyes filled with hope and joy.
"No matter what, being able to see these three giant Magic Boats has already surpassed my expectations.
I believe that as long as you're willing to help me, in just a few years, I'll be able to make even more powerful Magic Boats! "
"Let's be clear, it's not me helping you, it's you helping us." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Lumi, you are now a special researcher of our company's Academy of Magic, you are already an employee of our company, so you have to properly work for me."
Lumi waved her hand, "No matter who helps who, it's fine as long as we can make a powerful Magic Boat in the end.
As long as I can accomplish my dream, I'll do anything you want me to! "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Relax, developing a stronger Magic Boat is one of the goals of our company.
But Lumi, we've already agreed that although your main research direction is the Magic Boat, you also need to work on other aspects. "
"I know.
You can be assured, we halflings keep our promises, we won't be as sly as you humans. "
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling. When he was about to say something, Narvil on the side couldn't help shouting out.
"Halfling?
Oh my God!
You're actually a halfling!
Oh, this is simply too unbelievable!
Sir chairman, is this true?
There's actually a halfling in front of me?
This must be an illusion!
This is too unbelievable! "
Xu Yi looked at Narvil who was so shocked that he couldn't even speak properly. He thought that although the halflings were about to become legendary creatures, they shouldn't be able to make Narvil lose his composure like this, right?
Before Xu Yi could say anything, Lumi had already put her hands at her waist and looked up at Narvil as she shouted, "Hey, human, what's wrong with being a halfling?
Why do you find this unbelievable?
Could it be that I'm not a living halfling? "
Narvil nodded with a dazed look.
"Yes, you should be a halfling.
But ….. But haven't halflings disappeared from the continent a long time ago? "
Xu Yi patted Narvil's shoulder with a smile, "Alright, there are exceptions to everything.
Didn't the elves say that they had disappeared from the Sines Continent?
But now that you're in the company, don't you have contact with the elves all day?
There are even two elven researchers on the Goddess of Victory Iris.
Although halflings are rarer than elves, you don't need to be this exaggerated, right? "
Narvil opened his mouth. Sir chairman had said it so casually, but halflings had actually reappeared on the Sines. This was a super shocking piece of news that no one could imagine, alright!
Seeing Narvil's look of disbelief, Xu Yi felt a bit of a headache.
When he brought Agnes to Banta City to appear in public a few years ago, it had created an unimaginable and terrifying sensation. Even the New Flyer company's normal work had been seriously affected for a long time because of the crowd surrounding Agnes.
If he brought Lumi back now and announced it to everyone, based on Narvil's reaction, the effect would be several times stronger than Agnes.
Seeing Lumi who was still dissatisfied with Narvil's exaggerated reaction and angrily puffing out her cheeks, Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh in his heart.
To cooperate with other races, this was one of the consequences that had to be borne.
