The male elf who was escorting Xu Yi just now raised the bow and arrow in his hand and pointed at Xu Yi, and shouted in a cold voice: "Human, apologize for your disrespect immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The elves surrounding him all had expressions of hesitation on their faces, staring at Xu Yi coldly.
Yanis was taken aback, and quickly approached Xu Yi, whispering: "President Xu, you...how could you say such things to the elder?"
Xu Yi smiled at her: "Don't worry, the elder will not be angry, because I am telling the truth."
Everyone turned to look at Elder Elusia. Sure enough, they did not see any unpleasant expression on her face. On the contrary, they seemed to be very happy because of Xu Yi's words. They smiled and said: "Human, I just said, it's pointless." Compliments are meaningless to me. Although I look no older than you, I am actually over three hundred years old, and I am old enough to be your great-grandmother. Do you think it is meaningful to compliment me?”
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, I think you misunderstood, elder. Although your beauty and temperament do make my heart move, the value I value most is your wisdom and knowledge. If I can learn something from you, This time I think it's a good deal. What's more, the elves also contain values that you may not have discovered, such as her..." Xu Yi pointed to Yanis.
A group of elves looked at Yanis in surprise, and Yanis pointed at herself blankly, with a look of confusion on her face.
"I heard from Yanis, did you ever want to ask for her as a reward for helping our tribe this time?" As soon as Elder Elusia said these words, Xu Yi, Steele and Vivian Suddenly, I felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot, and the elves around me were all exuding murderous aura. "Humans, I want to solemnly warn you. You humans have captured many elves as slaves in the past. We elves hate this kind of thing. If you want to make such a request, I advise you to leave here immediately. Even if our tribe is facing difficulties because of Even if I disappear from this world, I will never agree to your request."
Seeing the hostile eyes of the elves around him, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and was about to open his mouth. However, Yanis waved her hands first and said: "Elder, you misunderstood. President Xu does not want me to be his slave, he just... just wants me to help him work."
"Work?" Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "What can Yanis do for you? She is still a child."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Dear Elder Elusia, as I just said. Yanis contains value that you have not discovered. Let me give you an example. When Yanis is with me In the past half a month, she helped me complete part of the exterior design work for a new product launched by our chamber of commerce. This new product has only been sold for half a month, but it has already been sold for our chamber of commerce. Earned more than 100,000 gold coins.”
"One hundred thousand gold coins?" Not only the surrounding elves exclaimed in unison, but even Elder Elushia couldn't help but slightly widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "You mean, Yanis helped your chamber of commerce Did you earn so much as 100,000 gold coins?”
"That's not the case." Xu Yi shook his head. "This new product involves the hard work of many people, and it is not just the work of Yanis. But in my personal opinion, Yanis played the biggest role. If we divide these 100,000 gold coins , the value generated by Yanis is at least more than 20,000 gold coins.”
I heard that Xu Yi had such a high opinion of himself. Yanis couldn't help but show a hint of joy and looked at Xu Yi with a smile.
"Twenty thousand gold coins..." Elder Elusia nodded slightly: "Human, although I don't like your way of directly measuring value with gold coins, I admit that this description is easy to understand. But even if Yanis contains Very valuable, and I won’t agree to hand her over to you. You humans are very unfriendly to us elves. I don’t think Yanis can live safely in your human world.”
Seeing the serious expression on Elder Elusia's face, Xu Yi could only lament in his heart.
The gap between the elves and humans is too deep, and the prejudice against humans is too deep. It is simply impossible to change these stubborn elves' perceptions of humans in a short period of time.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up the topic and smiled again. Pointing to the box carried by another male elf, he said: "Okay, Elder Elusia, before we have completed our work, discussing remuneration is a very boring thing. Now let us first Let’s see how we can help you.”
Elder Elusia smiled and nodded: "It seems that you are a human who doesn't like to talk empty words. I like it very much. Come with me."
Elder Elusia leads the way. A group of people entered the gap between two giant trees, walked a few steps, and saw a large pit suddenly appeared in a small open space in front of them.
"We tried to get groundwater for use, but when we dug to a depth of more than ten meters, we encountered very thick rock formations. The rock was too hard. Even with my ability, I couldn't shake it, so I had to give up." Elder Ya pointed to the big tunnel.
Xu Yi approached the edge of the pit and looked down, and found that even with the bright fluorescence above his head, he couldn't see clearly what the bottom of the pit looked like.
"Elder Elusia, is there a long enough rope? I want to go down and see the specific situation." Xu Yidao.
Steele on the side suddenly pulled Xu Yi's sleeve and shook his head gently at him.
Seeing the worried expression on her face, Xu Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, with so many noble elves around, nothing will happen to me."
Elder Elusia smiled slightly: "Humans, there is no need to use words to force us, we elves have our own principles." After saying this, he explained to a male elf, and the male elf left in a hurry, and after a while he took the Here comes a long roll of rattan.
Xu Yi took one end of the rattan and pulled hard. He found that the rattan was extremely tough, probably stronger than a nylon rope of the same thickness.
Xu Yi tied one end around his waist and prepared to dive into the pit to see what happened.
Seeing that Xu Yi was about to climb down, Yanis suddenly rushed out.
"Elder, let me go down with him? If anything happens, I can still save him."
Elder Elusia glanced at Yanis in surprise, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine, we can't let human guests take risks alone."
Steele looked at Yanis with a strange expression as he tied himself and Xu Yi together. He opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
Vivian beside her said with some annoyance: "It would be great if I could be as skilled as Sister Yanis."
Steele glanced at her and thought, I don't think so, but in addition to racial talent, the elves' physical fitness is also because they have lived in this kind of forest since they were young, and they have practiced it bit by bit. How can ordinary humans do it? Comparable.
The two of them could only watch Xu Yi and Yanis being hoisted into the pit together, almost face to face.
Hearing that Yanis was going down with him, Xu Yi didn't have any special thoughts at first, but as he fell deeper and deeper and the surroundings became darker and darker, he became more and more aware of the various things around him. Variety.
Feeling that Yanis's body was tightly pressed against his own, and even constantly feeling the breath coming from Yanis's nostrils on his face, even Xu Yi was a wooden person, but at this time he couldn't help but feel... The heartbeat quickens.
And in this dark environment, even the heartbeat seemed to be clearly audible.
"President Xu, are you scared?" Yanis suddenly asked.
It was a good thing that she didn't speak, but when she opened her mouth, there was a rush of breath in her mouth.
Of course it wasn't bad breath. On the contrary, this breath also contained a special fragrance of grass and trees, which shocked Xu Yi when he smelled it.
But this made Xu Yi even more embarrassed. Not only did his heart beat faster again, but even a certain part of his body reacted involuntarily.
Fortunately, the pit was only a dozen meters deep. Xu Yi soon felt his feet touch the ground, and he immediately felt at ease.
Yanis stretched out a finger, and a green light emitted from her finger, illuminating the environment at the bottom of the pit.
The pit dug by the elves is quite spacious, with a bottom of nearly ten square meters, allowing the two of them to have a lot of room to maneuver after standing still.
With the light in Yanis' hand, Xu Yi carefully explored the surrounding situation, then squatted down and used his hands to peel away the soil on the ground, revealing the hidden rock formations below.
Xu Yi first touched it with his hand. Judging from the feel, the rocks in this rock formation should not be dense, but rather loose. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
It doesn't matter if this rock layer is a little thick, you can definitely drill through it with the tools you bring.
In fact, it stands to reason that in a forest like the Forest of Falling Rain, there should not be such a rock layer only a dozen meters deep below, not to mention that there are such thick and tall giant trees on the surface where the elves live. The roots of these giant trees are enough to prevent ordinary rock layers from existing, so the current situation is not in line with Xu Yi's common sense.
However, when he thought that this was not the earth in the first place, and the common sense on the earth could not be completely applied, Xu Yi was relieved and did not think about this problem.
After completing the investigation, Xu Yi pulled hard on the rattan tied to his body and let the elves above the pit pull him and Yanis up again.
Facing the expectant looks of the elves and Elder Elusia, Xu Yi nodded: "It should be no problem."
The elves immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even Elder Elushia's face showed a hint of joy.
Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to it, and opened the box he carried on his back, revealing a machine with a huge drill as thick as his arm at the front of the box.
Xu Yi struggled to raise the machine in his hand and smiled at Elder Elusia: "Dear elder, please allow me the honor to introduce to you. This is the machine that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has specially designed to solve the problems encountered by your noble tribe. The magic machine developed is called a small magic drilling machine."
