Chapter 26 Gnomes Are Magic Geniuses

"Is this the natural advantage of traversers?"

Seeing Lumi's serious but childish face like a little human girl, Xu Yi's first thought was this weird thought.

Because of the racial war more than 3,000 years ago, although human beings took control of the entire Sainz continent from the elves, the relationship between human beings and other races has always been poor because of this.

Needless to say, with the elves, and the orcs are almost like fire and water.

As for the dwarf clan and the more legendary dragon clan, they disappeared directly from this continent.

Before Xu Yi appeared, humans had very little contact with the elves, and there was also little contact with other races.

After Xu Yi appeared, he came into contact with the elves unexpectedly, and worked closely with the Night Song and Moon Shadow tribes, and now they have become close partners.

Later, Xu Yi reached an equally close cooperative relationship with the orcs, so that the black rice wasteland originally occupied by the orcs has almost become the back garden of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Up to now, there is even a dwarf who claims to have disappeared in front of Xu Yi! With so many unusual things happening to him, it's no wonder that Xu Yi had such weird thoughts.

Of course, if you think about it again, you will find that this is actually a series of interconnected things.

The reason for this series of incidents was that Xu Yi came up with the idea of ​​cooperating with the dwarf tribe, so he ran to the dwarf tribe, met Yanis by chance, and then contacted the Yege tribe, and finally succeeded in reconciling with the dwarf tribe. Nightsong tribal cooperation.

After that. It's just a matter of course.

Even if the dwarf suddenly appeared in front of him now, it was also caused by this incident.

Xu Yi glanced at Elder Wendini and Elder Lisanya who retreated to the side and were talking in a low voice, thinking that Elder Wendini must know that he has a close cooperation relationship with other elves. Only then did he take the initiative to summon himself here, and let the dwarf Lumi touch him.

And the reason why Lumi is willing to take the initiative to contact her. And to seek cooperation, what they did was that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also produced magic machines, which happened to have the same specialties as the gnomes.

"Well... Lumi, I welcome your idea very much. With the help of the dwarves who have a long history and in-depth research on magic machinery, our Chamber of Commerce's research on magic machinery will definitely make great progress. But... ..." Xu Yi paused, and asked, "Lumi. You chose to cooperate with our chamber of commerce. What do you want to get from us? You don't want to tell me that you just want to study magic machines?" Is it a magic ship?" Xu Yi glanced at Lumi in surprise, after thinking about it, he understood. "If I'm not mistaken, you want to go deep into the endless sea to find your people?"

"Yeah." Lumi nodded, her expression became gloomy. "The rest of the family are all dead. Now I am the only one left. It is meaningless to continue to stay on the Sainz continent, so I want to try to see if I can go deep into the endless sea. Go find another The mainland and my people."

Seeing the sad and lonely expression on Lumi's small face, Xu Yi sighed softly in his heart.

Although the elves are relatively rare on the Sainz continent, there are three tribes known to Xu Yi alone, with a total of more than 5,000 people.

As for the dwarf tribe, he only knows Lumi so far, not to mention the entire tribe, not even a family.

And for the past two years, there has been no news of the dwarves on the entire Sainz continent. Maybe Lumi is the only dwarf left in the entire continent.

This feeling of loneliness can be imagined.

"Did you come up with this idea after hearing the news that our chamber of commerce has produced a magic ship?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Yes. Although I haven't seen the magic ship of your Chamber of Commerce. But please Wentini collected a lot of information about your Chamber of Commerce's magic ship for me. I know that your magic ship is made of steel. It is very strong. And it's big. I think such a ship can sail far away without any problem. It should be able to help me find my tribe better." Lumi replied.

"Thank you for your compliments on 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 sufficient deep-sea and ocean-going capabilities."

Lumi's eyes widened immediately, with an eager expression on her face: "Isn't that enough? My people just cooperated with the dwarves to build some iron boats at random and then went into the sea."

"Your clansmen had many at that time, and they could bear part of the loss, but Lumi, you only had one. Do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at Xu Yi's serious eyes, Lumi was stunned.

"Human, you... are you caring about me?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "Well... I'm just thinking about safety. You see, ocean voyage is not a simple matter, and the dangers at sea are unpredictable, so in order to be safe, you must be fully prepared before proceeding. Now you only have Alone, if something happens to you, and you have misfortune at sea, it's all over. Am I right?"

Lumi stared blankly at Xu Yi for a while, then suddenly jumped forward, opened her arms and gave Xu Yi a hug, and said happily: "The elder is right, not all human beings are bad people. That's great, people... …No, is your name Xu Yi? Xu Yi, you are a good person and I like you. Originally, I just wanted to use some of my family’s knowledge in magic machinery to cooperate with you. Now I am willing to share my knowledge with you. All the research results of the clan!"

Seeing the joyful smile on Lumi's face, Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

He just raised his concerns to Lumi out of the usual cautious thinking of a mechanical engineer, but he didn't expect that Lumi would be moved.

But of course this is a good thing, so Xu Yi did not make excuses, smiled and said: "Really? It is my honor to gain your trust. But Lumi, I still want to remind you that research that can truly suit It takes a long time to sail a magic ship on an ocean voyage, and it also takes a lot of time to prepare for an ocean voyage, and I'm afraid it will take at least five years or even longer if you add it up, are you willing to wait?"

Lumi nodded vigorously: "Of course I would. I've waited a hundred years, so what's the point of waiting another five or ten years?"

"She is at least a hundred years old..."

Weird thoughts flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and he discussed specific cooperation with Lumi.

In the end, the two parties agreed that Lumi would join the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and be mainly responsible for the research on magic ships.

It just so happens that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has just started to develop the ocean shipping industry, and there is an urgent shortage of talents in this field, and Lumi is extremely eager for ocean ships. This cooperation can be said to be a happy one.

When talking about Lumi's remuneration for joining the Academy of Magic, Lumi didn't think it was necessary, but Xu Yi insisted on giving it.

But when talking about specific details, Xu Yi was taken aback when he asked about Lumi's magical strength in order to determine her salary standard.

This female dwarf who looks small, like a little human girl, actually possesses the powerful strength of a third-level great magician!

"Is this strange?" Seeing the shocked expression on Xu Yi's face, Lumi snorted softly, with a smug expression on her face. "We gnomes are all magic geniuses. Otherwise, why do we have such in-depth research on magic machinery? You know, even the most powerful magic warships of the elves before were designed and built by our gnomes." Yes. If you don’t believe me, ask Wentini.”

Xu Yi numbly turned his head to look at Elder Wendini, who smiled and nodded at him.

After staying for a while, Xu Yicai returned to normal.

When looking at Lumi again, Xu Yi was overjoyed.

In this way, doesn't it mean that the Institute of Magic of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now needs to add a powerful magician at the level of a great magician in addition to the great magician Truchi?

If Xu Yi himself is included, then there are three great magicians!

Not to mention, there is still Camilla Magister!

Such a powerful lineup of magicians should be unique among the chambers of commerce on the entire Sainz continent, right?

Xu Yi was amazed by Lumi's magical power, and Lumi was even more shocked by the salary Xu Yi offered her.

"10,000 gold coins a year? And there's an extra bonus?" Lumi stared at Xu Yi with wide-eyed eyes, with an incredulous expression on her face. "Will it be so profitable to join your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? If I knew it was the case, I should have joined a long time ago! If I can have 10,000 gold coins in my hand now... no, even only 5,000 gold coins, it is enough for me to make a There's a ship!"

"No, no, no..." Xu Yi waved his hands again and again. "Lumi, you must not be impulsive. You are now the most important special-level researcher at the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You can't let yourself fall into danger because of your impulsiveness. In case something happens to you , That's a huge loss for our Xinfei 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 place in the endless sea, and let you search all over the world. The world also wants to find your people, okay?"

Lumi rolled her big eyes 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 at some point. Seeing that Xu Yi and Lumi were discussing a tentative plan, Elder Wendini came over and said to Xu Yi with a smile: "President Xu, now Can you talk about our cooperation?"
