The mysterious guest stood up and took off the hood covering her head, revealing a beautiful face with a trace of heroic spirit as well as a pair of long pointed ears.
It was the female elf Agnes that Xu Yi had seen in the Angola Tribe last time.
"I still don't believe in humans right now." Agnes didn't seem to hear the teasing in Xu Yi's voice as her face remained calm.
"If it wasn't for the elder saying that the blueprint you gave could help solve our tribe's problem, I wouldn't have been sent here."
Xu Yi revealed a smile and didn't waste any more time on meaningless words. He asked Agnes to sit down again and poured her a cup of cold water according to her request. Then he sat down in front of her and took out the blueprint that Alex had just seen.
This blueprint was the one that Xu Yi had left with chief Monto when he left the Angola Tribe, telling him to give it to Agnes. So when he saw this blueprint and heard from Alex that this guest wasn't even willing to show her face, Xu Yi immediately guessed that this guest should be Agnes.
"Young miss Agnes, based on your meaning, not only did you see this blueprint, you even brought it back to your tribe's elder to see?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes.
After the elder saw it, he felt that the method you mentioned had a high possibility, so he had me ask you about the specifics of this method. What needs to be done? "Agnes said with a nod.
Xu Yi took the blueprint and looked it over. He thought that the plan he had provided was based on many similar cases on earth, so of course it had a high possibility of being done.
"I'm very sorry, young miss Agnes, I'm afraid I can't tell you the specifics." Xu Yi shook his head.
"I only heard about some of the difficulties you encountered from Patriarch Monto, and then I gave you a rough solution based on my own experience. However, because I don't know the specific situation, I can't give you a more specific solution.
Unless I can go and inspect it, I can't be sure of what to do. "
Agnes was silent for a bit before asking, "Your meaning is that you want to go to our tribe to see the specific situation?"
"That's right." Xu Yi said with certainty.
Agnes was silent for a bit before shaking her head.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Our tribe hasn't had a human enter for several hundred years and we don't welcome humans."
"Then I can only helplessly help."
Xu Yi spread his hands and helplessly said, "Young miss Agnes, I think you have to admit that solving the problem of the river is a large project. I can't give you a specific solution based on my imagination. If you won't even let me inspect it, then I can only apologize."
Agnes was silent for a bit before suddenly standing up. She reached out her right index and middle finger to her chest and gave a slight bow to Xu Yi, "Since it's like this, then I'll be leaving.
................
After saying this, Agnes didn't even turn her head as she walked out.
Xu Yi opened his mouth and wanted to call out to her, but he gave up after thinking about it.
The elves had this kind of personality. Even if he called Agnes back, it wouldn't change her mind, so it was better to let the elves decide for themselves.
Anyway, Xu Yi wasn't worried about this matter, the ones worried were the elves.
After thinking about things in the office for a bit, Xu Yi stood up and left the office. He gave manager Riley some requests for the new factory before sitting in a horse carriage and heading to a small courtyard in the north of Banta City.
When he walked into the small courtyard, Xu Yi heard Baron Hannas' angry roar.
"Miller, move faster!
If we can't finish all the manuscripts before dinner, we might not be able to sleep tonight! "
"McCorvey, stop standing there in a daze. Why aren't you quickly printing the manuscripts that have already been prepared?
What are you just standing here for? "
"Megan, are those fellows collecting the news not back yet?
It's almost time to finalize the manuscripts, if they don't come back soon, they can forget about getting their wages today! "
… …
Hearing this deep and hoarse voice, Xu Yi found that he couldn't connect this voice to the young Baron Hannas from the first time he met him.
It seemed like the days he spent as the chief editor of the « Banta Times » had changed Baron Hannas quite a bit.
Walking into the small building in the courtyard, he found that it was a busy scene.
There were over ten young men and women. Some of them were furiously writing something, some of them were organizing documents, and some of them were running around, passing things around … …
The one standing in the middle giving orders while looking over the manuscripts in his hand was Baron Hannas.
It was unknown if it was because he was too busy, but Baron Hannas' face was covered in a beard and he looked quite rough. His clothes were a bit messy and there were many places with ink that came from who knew where. He was completely different from the clean and disciplined person Xu Yi saw him for the first time.
"Hey, your excellency Baron, are you still busy?" Xu Yi raised his hand to greet Baron Hannas.
Hearing this voice, Baron Hannas turned his head in surprise. After seeing Xu Yi, his brows jumped up and he revealed a look of joy.
"Chairman Xu, it's great that you're here, I was looking for you!"
"Oh?
You're looking for me?
What is it? "Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
"Could it be that the Magic Printer is broken?"
"No, no, no, the Magic Printer is our treasure, how could it break like this?
But I'm looking for you because of the Magic Printer. This ….. Chairman Xu, look, our « Banta Times » is selling more and more and with just a single Magic Printer, it's a bit hard to keep up. Can you help me make another one ….. No, it's best if it's two, oh, no, it's best if it's three!
How about it?
Three Magic Printers?
It shouldn't be that hard for you, right? "
"You're certain it's three?" Xu Yi looked at Baron Hannas in surprise.
The Magic Printer he designed was an improved version of the movable type printing technology from earth. Because the Sines used letters, it was much simpler compared to ancient China's movable type printing technology from earth. With the Wind Attributed Array as the driving force, it was enough to print two thousand pages in an hour.
The « Banta Times » had a total of ten pages, so even with the front and back pages, it was only twenty pages.
This meant that with a Magic Printer at full power, it could print a hundred copies of the « Banta Times » in an hour.
Xu Yi knew that Baron Hannas would decide the contents of the next day's « Banta Times » before dinner each night, so from six in the evening to six in the morning, there was a total of twelve hours to print the « Banta Times ».
Even without the rest time and some unexpected time consumption, there was enough time to print a thousand copies of the « Banta Times ».
Now that Baron Hannas had requested three more Magic Printers from Xu Yi, it meant that the number of copies of the « Banta Times » would surpass three thousand!
This was a shocking number. It had to be known that Banta City's population was less than thirty thousand people and if it was divided into households, it would be around five thousand households.
With the education level of the people of Banta City, it was impossible for every household to buy the « Banta Times ». It would be good if they even bought a tenth of it, so a single Magic Printer was enough.
"That's right, there are three of them." Baron Hannas nodded with certainty.
Baron Hannas nodded with a confident look, "Xu Yi, you haven't been here in a while, so you might not know this. Right now, the « Banta Times » is selling close to a thousand copies in Banta City each day and I've already sent people to set up a store in each village. Even if each village can only sell one or two copies each day, it is clearly increasing.
I'm certain that it won't take long before the villages outside the city sell many copies of the « Banta Times ».
Because there are more people outside the city than inside the city, perhaps the sales of the « Banta Times » outside the city will break a thousand copies in the future. "
"This isn't enough for you to request three Magic Printers at once, right?" Xu Yi said in a confused voice.
Baron Hannas laughed, "Xu Yi, do you know that other than the « Banta Times », I've also opened two branches in Saltan City and Karma City?"
Xu Yi was stunned as he said in a surprised voice, "It's this fast?"
Baron Hannas revealed a proud smile, "It's this fast.
If nothing unexpected happens, I guarantee that within a week, the « Saltan Times » and the « Karma Times » will be published!
When that time comes, I'll know these three cities like the back of my hand!
Moreover, just watch, I'll spread these newspapers to every corner of the Lampari Kingdom, even spreading them all over the Sines! "
Seeing Baron Hannas' proud and energetic appearance, Xu Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart.
When he saw Baron Hannas for the first time, Xu Yi thought that he was just a normal noble with a good upbringing. He never thought that after he showed his gossipy side and Xu Yi helped him create the « Banta Times », he would suddenly change. He would become this passionate and passionate journalist who also had the energy of a normal person.
The reason why the « Banta Times » could develop this quickly was because Baron Hannas had invested a large amount of effort into it.
With his family's background and connections, Baron Hannas didn't meet any unexpected obstacles when establishing the « Banta Times ». This novel thing was naturally welcomed by countless people, so it could develop to this point in a short period of time.
"Eh ….. Actually, Hannas, the name of the newspaper isn't just the newspaper. You can call it the « Saltan Times » or the « Karma Herald », or other names."
Xu Yi gave a small suggestion at the right time. After seeing the happy look on Baron Hannas' face, he suddenly changed the topic.
"But speaking of this, Hannas, are you really prepared to stay in Banta City and not return to Anvilmar City?"
