Chapter 26 Gnomes are Magic Geniuses
“Is this a natural advantage for time travelers?”
Looking at Lumi's serious but childish face like a little human girl, the first thing that emerged in Xu Yi's mind was this strange idea. "7∞x.c
Because of the racial war more than 3,000 years ago, although humans took control of the entire Siones continent from the elves, the relationship between humans and other races has always been poor.
Needless to say, it is almost like water and fire when it comes to the orcs.
As for the dwarf clan and the legendary dragon clan, they disappeared directly from this continent.
Before Xu Yi's appearance, humans and elves had very little contact, and there was no contact with other races.
After Xu Yi appeared, he unexpectedly came into contact with the elves and worked closely with the Yege tribe and the Yueying tribe. He has now become an intimate partner.
Later, Xu Yi reached an equally close cooperative relationship with the orcs, so that the Black Rice Wasteland, which was originally occupied by the orcs, has now almost become the back garden of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Now, a dwarf who has claimed to have disappeared long ago appeared in front of Xu Yi!
And this dwarf also wants to seek cooperation from Xu Yi!
It is no wonder that so many unusual things have happened to me.
Of course, when you think about it, you will find that this is actually a continuous relationship.
The cause of this series of incidents was that Xu Yi had the idea of cooperating with the dwarves, so he ran to the dwarves tribe and happened to meet Yanis. Then he contacted the Yege tribe and finally successfully collaborated with the Yege tribe.
What happened next is natural.
Even if the dwarf suddenly appears in front of him now, it is also caused by this incident.
Xu Yi glanced at Elder Wendini and Elder Lisanya who were retreating to the side and talking in a low voice. He thought that Elder Wendini must have known that he had a close cooperative relationship with other elves, so he would take the initiative to summon himself here and let the dwarf Lumi contact him.
What Lumi is willing to take the initiative to contact herself and seek cooperation is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also produces magic machinery, which is exactly the same as the dwarfs' specialties.
"Well... Lumi, I am very welcome to your idea. If you can get help from the dwarfs who have a long history and profound research on magic machinery, our Chamber of Commerce will definitely make great progress in research on magic machinery. But..." Xu Yi paused and asked: "Lumi, what do you want to get from us when you choose to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce? You are not trying to tell me that I just want to study magic machinery, right?"
"Nonsense, you are not a businessman, I am discussing business with you!" Lumi said with confidence. "I cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce. The request is to hope that you can build a magic ship that can enter the deepest part of the Endless Sea as I want!"
"Is the magic ship that can sail from the ocean?" Xu Yi looked at Lumi in surprise, thought for a while, and understood. "If I guessed correctly, do you want to go deep into the endless sea and find your tribe members?"
"Well." Lumi nodded, her expression became gloomy. "The rest of the family has died, and I am the only one left now. It's not a word to stay on the Continent of Synes, so I want to try it out if I can go deep into the endless sea and find another continent and my tribe."
Looking at the lonely expression on Lumi's little face, Xu Yi sighed softly.
Although the elves are rare on the Continent of Sainz, Xu Yi alone now knows three tribes, which together have more than 5,000 people.
So far, he only knows Lumi, not to mention the entire tribe, even a family can't get it.
Moreover, there has been no news of dwarfs on the entire Siones continent in the past two years, so maybe Lumi is the only dwarf left in the entire continent.
This kind of loneliness can be imagined.
"Did you come up with this idea after knowing that our Chamber of Commerce made a magic ship?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Yes. Although I have never seen the magic ship of your Chamber of Commerce, please Wentini has collected a lot of news about your Chamber of Commerce's magic ships for me. I know that your magic ships are made of steel, very strong and very large. I think such a ship can sail far away on the sea, and it should be able to help me find my tribe members better." Lumi replied.
"Thank you for your praise for our magic ships. But Lumi... To be honest, based on the current research and development progress of our Chamber of Commerce on magic ships, I don't think they have strong enough deep-sea and ocean navigation capabilities."
Lumi suddenly widened her eyes, looking a little anxious: "Isn't this enough? My tribe members just cooperated with the dwarves to build some iron ships at will and went into the sea."
"Your tribe had many people at that time and could bear some losses, but Lumi, you only have one. Do you understand what I mean?"
Looking at Xu Yi's serious eyes, Lumi was stunned.
"Human, are you... you care about me?"
Xu Yi was stunned: "Well... I just consider it from a safe side. You see, ocean sailing is not a simple matter. The dangers at sea are unpredictable, so for the sake of safety, you must be fully prepared to proceed. You only have one person now. If something happens, please let you encounter misfortune on the sea, then everything will be over. Am I right?"
Lumi looked at Xu Yi blankly for a while, and suddenly rushed forward, opened her arms and hugged Xu Yi hard, and said happily: "The elder is right, not all human beings are bad people. That's great, human beings... no, are you called Xu Yi? Xu Yi, you are a good person, I like you. Originally, I just wanted to take out some of our clan's knowledge of magic and machinery to cooperate with you. Now I am willing to fully share all the research results of our clan with you!"
Looking at the joyful smile on Lumi's face, Xu Yi was a little amused and crying.
He just raised his concerns to Lumi out of the usual cautious thinking of the mechanical engineer, but he did not expect that Lumi would be moved.
But this is of course a good thing, so Xu Yi did not make an excuse and smiled and said, "Is that so? It is my honor to be able to gain your trust. But Lumi, I still want to remind you that it takes a long time to develop a magic ship that can be truly suitable for ocean navigation, and the preliminary preparations for ocean navigation also take a lot of time. In total, it may take at least five years or even longer. Are you willing to wait?"
Lumi nodded vigorously: "Of course I'm willing. I've waited for a hundred years. What's the point of waiting for another five or ten years?"
"She is indeed at least one hundred years old..."
A strange thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and he discussed specific cooperation with Lumi.
Finally, the two parties agreed that Lumi joined the Magic Research Institute of the New Air Chamber of Commerce and was mainly responsible for the research on magic ships.
It just so happened that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has just begun to launch the ocean transportation industry, and there is a large number of people in this area in a hurry. Lumi is extremely eager for ocean ships, so this cooperation can be said to be a joy to everyone.
When talking about the reward for Lumi joining the Magic Research Institute, Lumi originally felt that she didn't need it, but Xu Yi insisted on giving it to her.
However, when talking about the specific details, Xu Yi was shocked when asked about Lumi's magical strength to determine the salary standard for her.
This female dwarf who looks small and looks like a little human girl actually has the powerful strength of a level three magician!
"Is this strange?" Seeing the shocked expression on Xu Yi's face, Lumi snorted softly, looking proud. "All of our dwarfs are magical geniuses, otherwise why have such profound research on magical machinery? You know, even the most powerful magic warships in the elves before were designed and built by our dwarfs. If you don't believe it, ask Wendini."
Xu Yimuran turned to look at Elder Wendini, who smiled and nodded.
After staying for a while, Xu Yi returned to normal.
When looking at Lumi again, Xu Yi was immediately overjoyed.
In this way, does it mean that in addition to the Truqi Great Magician, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will now add another powerful magician at the level of a great magician?
If Xu Yi himself is counted, he will have three great magicians!
Not to mention, there is also the existence of Magister Camilla!
Such a powerful magician lineup should be unique in the chambers of commerce on the Continent of Sains, right?
Xu Yi was amazed by Lumi's magical strength, and Lumi was even more shocked by the salary Xu Yi offered her.
"Ten thousand gold coins a year? There are extra bonuses?" Lumi stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, looking incredible. "Is it so much for joining your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce? If I had known this was the case, I would have joined long ago! If I could have ten thousand gold coins in my hand now... No, I would even only need five thousand gold coins, I would be enough to build a ship myself!"
"No, no..." Xu Yi waved his hands repeatedly. "Lumi, don't be impulsive. You are now the most important special researcher at the Magic Research Institute of our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. You can't put yourself in danger because of your impulse. If something happens to you, it will be a huge loss for our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Don't worry, in just a few years, we will be able to develop a magic ship that is powerful enough to carry you to explore every part of the endless sea, so that you can search the whole world and find your tribe members, okay?"
Lumi's big eyes rolled around and nodded with a smile.
"Okay. Now that I have such good conditions, of course I will cherish myself."
Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right."
Elder Wendini and Elder Lisanya in the distance ended their conversation. Seeing that Xu Yi and Lumi were on a temporary basis, Elder Wendini came over and smiled at Xu Yi: "President Xu, can you talk about our cooperation now?"
