Chapter 123 Failed Advertisement

After saying goodbye to President Cruise and the two, Xu Yi drove the carriage to the city of Bangta alone.

When he walked to a secluded place, the space beside Xu Yi was slightly distorted, a fragrant breeze blew past, and suddenly another person appeared on the seat beside him.

"President Xu, you said to those two people just now that you want their chamber of commerce to help rebuild the embankment of a river. Do you mean the river of our tribe?" Yanis asked Xu Yi expectantly.

"Do you think I need to build other river embankments?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

"So, are you really going to help us?" The expression on Yanis' face suddenly became excited.

Xu Yi shook his head helplessly: "Miss Yanis, I never said I wouldn't help you, so you never believed me from beginning to end."

Yanis bowed her head slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the elders of the tribe taught me not to trust humans since I was a child."

"Your elves' prejudice against us humans is really big enough." Xu Yi sighed. "Although I admit that there are many cunning people among us humans, we also have many people who pay attention to integrity, such as me. After your elves have been deceived by humans a few times, they will all of us with one stick. Killing him is too paranoid."

Yanis shook her head: "Not only have I been deceived a few times, but the elders said that in the history of our elves, we have been deceived by humans countless times, so the consensus of our elves to humans is that we cannot I believe it." After a pause, Anise asked again with a puzzled look: "President Xu, I'm actually very curious, why are you humans of the same race, but each human being is so different?"

Xu Yi rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Could it be that everyone in your elves are the same? For example, they are all naive and single-celled creatures like you? I really don't understand what the elders of your tribe think. Yes, you are actually sent out to seek help from other races, and you are not afraid that others will sell you."

Anise blinked her eyes, her face confused.

"President Xu. What are unicellular organisms? Do you think I'm naive?"

Xu Yi shook his head, too lazy to tangle with this little elf girl, and said, "Okay, you heard it just now. I asked the Amli Chamber of Commerce to assist me in rebuilding the river embankment, but whether it is to be familiar with the properties of cement, or to master me The usage of the concrete handed to them just now, and even the research and development of the concrete mixer will take some time, so there is no way to change the water difficulty of your race. By the way, Anise, you have never thought about taking groundwater Do you want to use it? Although the river has been diverted, the groundwater will not be diverted easily. The rain forest is rich in vegetation, and the groundwater source should also be very rich.”

"Groundwater?" Yanis thought for a while and replied: "The elders have also tried. Like you humans, a deep well was dug in the ground to use groundwater, but after we dug a dozen meters deep, we found that the ground was full of very thick rocks. , and then you can't dig."

"That's when you encountered the underground rock formation. According to my experience, as long as you penetrate the rock formation, the underground water source will be opened up. Did you just give up?" Xu Yi asked again.

A trace of sadness appeared on Yanis' face: "The elders said that the underground rocks are very thick, and they cannot penetrate through them with their abilities. If you want to get through, even a high-level human earth magician can't do it, I am afraid you must It is only necessary for the Earth Magister to use Forbidden Magic. But the Magister is the top big man even among you human beings, let's not say that he was invited, and we will never see him at all."

"That's not necessarily true." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "As long as you can give him enough benefits, even a magus can be invited."

Yanis said helplessly: "But our tribe can't pay enough to impress a magus."

"Perhaps it's just that you haven't discovered your worth. For example, Yanis. You alone, in my opinion, already contain extraordinary value." Xu Yi looked at Yanis with a profound meaning.

Yanis pointed to herself in amazement: "Me? I'm just the most ordinary elf, do I have any special value?"

Xu Yi laughed: "You don't know it now, but you will understand it later. As for solving the problem of your tribe's water use, after listening to what you just said, I suddenly thought of a way to help you temporarily solve it."

Anise's eyes suddenly lit up; "Really? What can I do?"

"Wait patiently for a while. I will give you the answer." Xu Yi said.

Yanis didn't ask any further, but just looked at Xu Yi with piercing eyes, and her eyes no longer had the previous suspicion.

Before she knew it, she had begun to trust this human being who had not been in contact with her for a long time.

The carriage stopped outside a small, secluded courtyard in the city.

Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage, pushed open the door and walked in. I saw Steele standing in the small garden at the back of the small courtyard, wearing a long lavender dress, holding a lamp in his hand that was jointly created by the most skilled dwarves such as Master Lanu and Camby yesterday. The magic lamp, bowed his head slightly, his expression was quiet, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Just glanced at it, and Xu Yi couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat.

Steele was originally beautiful, but now she poses in such a shape, her originally dazzling temperament suddenly became introverted and calm, and the huge contrast suddenly gave Xu Yi a different kind of shock and shock.

And once Steele became calm, the lavender dress that matched her well-cut dress enhanced the temperament of the whole person.

Just looking at her current look, she is worthy of her title of "Goddess of Bonta".

Not far from Steele, there was a huge canvas in front of Master Anlissos, who was concentrating on drawing the moving scene in front of him on the canvas.

Knowing that Master Anlissos was immersed in the world of painting at this time, Xu Yi glanced at it from a distance and saw that the painting on the canvas was nearly completed, so he stood quietly and did not dare to disturb.

Then it took more than half an hour to finish the painting. Although Xu Yi felt that it was not boring to appreciate Steele's rare but equally beautiful demeanor, his feet were a little sore. It is easy to see that Master Anlissos finished the last stroke, put away the brush, and walked over quickly.

Taking a closer look at the canvas, Xu Yi couldn't help but praise it.

Steele's present beauty is almost perfectly replicated on the canvas. Although it is not as moving as a real person, it is expressive enough. Anyone who sees this picture will immediately be attracted by Steele.

But after watching it for a while. Xu Yi found a problem.

In this painting, Steele is indeed particularly moving and eye-catching, but all the attention has been attracted by Steele, but I am afraid not many people will notice the magic in Steele's hand. lamp.

You must know that Xu Yi asked Master Anlissos to draw this picture, the purpose is to advertise the upcoming magic lamp of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. If you hang this picture out, it will be a promotional picture for Steele. Instead of advertising the magic lamp.

"President Xu, as long as Miss Steele can attract enough attention, people will naturally pay attention to the magic lamp in her hand. I don't think there will be any problem at all. You are thinking too much. ." Master Anlissos dismissed Xu Yi's concerns.

At this time, Steele also came over, glanced at the drawing, thought about it, and said to Master Anlissos: "Master. I think Xu Yi is right, you should put more emphasis on the magic lamp. It's really not good, It's perfectly fine to blur my face a bit."

Master Anlissos shook his head again and again: "How can it be possible. Miss Steele, you are so beautiful and moving, to blur your face, it is like taking out the sun in the sky, and the whole picture is completely meaningless. No, I strongly disagree with that."

"Yeah. I agree with that. Steele, if your face is blurred, what do I ask you to do as a model? Just find someone." Xu Yi thought for a while and said, "Amway Master Soth, I don't mean to obscure Steele's presence, but to emphasize the magic lamp, after all, this picture is to advertise the magic lamp. It needs to be highlighted first."

"Yeah, I'm just a foil." Steele laughed.

Seeing that both of them said that, Master Anliss frowned helplessly and thought about it, and added a few more strokes to the canvas.

Although it was only a few strokes, the magic lamp in Steele's hand immediately became much more conspicuous. This shows the skill of his master painter.

Xu Yi watched it for a while, and still felt a little dissatisfied, but he knew nothing about painting, and he couldn't say what was wrong.

Seeing that Xu Yi still seemed to have some doubts, Master Anlissos' expression became slightly cold: "President Xu, this painting can only be changed to this extent at most, if you are not satisfied, I can repaint it. , but the remuneration will be paid separately.”

Xu Yi glanced at him, feeling a little unhappy. However, this master Anlissos is the most famous painter in Bangta City after all. Apart from him, Xu Yi could not find a suitable replacement for a while. Moreover, he has cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce many times before, and the two sides get along well. Not bad, Xu Yi didn't want to destroy the relationship because of temporary differences.

"There's no need to draw another picture, this one is very good, that's it." Xu Yi thought for a while.

Only then did Master Anlissos calm down: "Okay, then President Xu, the work this time is complete."

Xu Yi squeezed out a smile, shook hands with Master Anlissos, and watched him leave.

After Uncle Anlissos left, Steele glanced at the expression on Xu Yi's face and rolled his eyes: "Xu Yi, I heard that there is also a famous painter in Karma City, why don't we try to find it? he?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "You're talking about Master Kassadin, right? I have inquired that this Master Kassadin's painting skills are not as good as that of Master Anlissos. If we look for him, it is equivalent to breaking with Master Anlissos. , this is not a good choice."

Steele frowned, thought about it, and sighed: "Unfortunately, Bangta City is a small city after all, and there are no more and better choices. If Anweimar City is the case, you can find more than Anliso. Master Si is an even better painter."

"No way, this is the reality." Xu Yi picked up the painting drawn by Master Anlissos just now. After looking at it for a while, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's very good, although it is a bit of a failure as an advertising painting. , but as a portrait of you, Steele, it's very good. You see, this picture has you very accurate. I think anyone who doesn't know you sees this picture. You will definitely mistake you for a very quiet, elegant and connotative beauty."

"Mistake?" Steele raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes. "what do you mean?"

Xu Yi laughed and didn't explain at all, so angry that Steele couldn't help but punch him hard.

Who knew that Steele's fist had just been swung halfway, and the space beside the two suddenly distorted, a figure suddenly appeared, quickly reached out, and grabbed Steele's arm.

"Don't hurt him." Anise's voice came from under the cloak.

Hearing that the voice was actually the voice of a young girl, Steele couldn't help but be even more stunned, glanced at Anise, and asked Xu Yi, "Who is she?"

Xu Yi was also taken aback by Yanice's sudden action, but after hearing Steele's question, she looked at Yanice, who was covered in a cloak, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind.

Got it!
