After confirming from Vivian that she was obtained from an older female elf, Xu Yi immediately asked Vivian to take him to find the female elf.
Xu Yi was very pleased with the answer he got from the female elf.
Because elves have good similarities with plants, and have a strong understanding of the characteristics of utilizing plants, making toys with resin is just an entertainment for the elves in their spare time, and it is not unusual at all.
This answer made Xu Yi think of countless possibilities in an instant, so he found Elder Elusia again without hesitation.
Originally, Xu Yi wanted Elder Elusia to teach him the elves' method of smelting resin, but he was told that the method used by the elves was a kind of magic unique to the elves, and humans could not learn it at all.
After Xu Yi tried it, he found that this magic was indeed only in line with the characteristics of the elves, and humans had no way of mastering it, so he had to give up.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi decided to do the next best thing and hoped that the Nightsong Elf tribe led by Elder Elushia would assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in completing the production of the magic machine for melting resin.
It is not difficult to make the shell of this magic machine, but the core of it, the magic circle used to smelt resin, can only be arranged by the elves, and they can only ask for help from the elves.
Actually speaking, Xu Yi has another option, which is to add additives and coagulants to the vessel to smelt synthetic resin according to the methods on earth. However, Xu Yi is not familiar with plastic technology and does not know these additives. The production method, I don’t know how to add it specifically. Secondly, this method will also cause strong environmental pollution, which Xu Yi doesn't like. Smelting with the magic of the elves does not require high-temperature heating at all, nor does it require so many complicated processes. It only requires simple magic, and the resin will naturally melt into a flowing liquid, which means that it can be done at will. solidify.
More importantly, although the elves currently only smelt resin to make some small handicrafts, in Xu Yi's view, it means that the elves can completely research new magic. Resins are smelted into different forms.
So Xu Yi also hoped that the Yege tribe would assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in completing a series of magic research on resin. It would be best to research different magic and corresponding magic circles according to his different requirements for resin.
Elder Elusia just thought about it for a moment and agreed to Xu Yi's request.
The elves live in the forest, which is actually quite boring except for hunting for food every day. Assisting Xu Yi in completing these research works can be regarded as finding something for the tribesmen to do, and it can also be regarded as repaying Xu Yi.
"Elder Elusia, if it's just this, it's not enough." Hearing Elder Elusia say that this was a reward, Xu Yi immediately shook his head and smiled. "As a human businessman, I am not very interested in the word repay. If I had to choose, I prefer the word cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi with some confusion. "Is there any cooperation between us elves and you humans?"
"Of course. The so-called cooperation is nothing more than each party doing what they can and getting what they need. You see, your Yege tribe needs to use our strength to improve the river channel and solve the drinking water problem. And now I want to get it from you accordingly. I want to get something. At present, apart from the value contained in Yanis, these resins may seem to you to be just things that can be found everywhere, but they have no value at all. In my opinion, these resins contain extremely high value, but it is difficult for me to realize these values without the help of your elves, so we have to cooperate." Xu Yi paused, and then. He said seriously: "Elder Elusia, I sincerely hope that we can maintain our cooperative relationship for a long time. And my goal is to achieve a win-win situation, that is, both I and your Yege tribe can benefit from cooperation. get good returns.”
"Long term?" Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi with interest. "President Xu, do you know what the long term means to us elves? The long term of our elves may be regarded as your human life."
"Then we will try to maintain this cooperative relationship until the day I die. What do you think?" Xu Yidao.
"The problem is that our tribe's current need is just to solve the drinking water problem." Elder Elushia said with a smile. "What's more, the underground wells have been opened now. Even this problem is not so urgent to be solved. Or to go to the extreme, we can even leave the Falling Rain Forest and find another place to live. Sainz Continent is so big, we can Find a new place to live with ease.”
"Then you encounter drinking water problems or other problems again, and then migrate again?" Xu Yi asked unceremoniously. "Although Sainz Continent is very big, dear elder, let me put it bluntly, the living space of your elves has become smaller and smaller. Do you plan to continue like this?"
Elder Elusia fell silent and looked at Xu Yi calmly.
Xu Yi showed no signs of weakness and did not dodge her gaze at all.
After a while, Elder Elusia finally smiled, and it was as dazzling as a flower in bloom.
"President Xu, do you know why I agreed to let Yanis go find you?"
Xu Yi Leng: "Isn't it because I gave you a solution to your problem?"
"This is just a superficial reason. The deeper reason is that I saw a glimmer of possibility from the drawing you left for Yanis. I hope to grasp this glimmer of possibility and work hard to successfully turn this possibility into a Reality."
"What's possible?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"It is possible for us elves and you humans to live in peace and live together." Elder Elushia said. "As you said, the living space of our elves on this continent has become smaller and smaller. Over the past few hundred years, the elven tribes I know have disappeared one by one. Compared to when I was young, , the number of elves left now is less than half of what it was before. I’m afraid that after a few hundred years, all the elves on this continent will disappear, and there will be no elves anymore.”
"As the elder of the Night Song tribe, I cannot change the fate of the entire elves, but I want to try to change the fate of our tribe. Since this continent is now controlled by you humans, it is time for us to recognize this clearly. Realistically, let go of your reservations for thousands of years and try to cooperate with you humans and get along with each other. Thousands of years of racial war have passed, and the hatred between the elves and humans has almost disappeared. A good opportunity is also the last chance for our elves, so I really want to seize it, so I asked Yanis to contact you."
"That's why you didn't object to Yanis working in our Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes. I want Yanis to be the first step for our tribe. If she can survive normally among you humans, it means that our other elves also have hope to survive in the same way." Ai A slightly bitter smile flashed across Elder Lucia's face, and she sighed: "I don't know if this choice is right, but this may be our last chance. We elves never like to change, but if we still If we don’t make any changes, we will be doomed.”
Xu Yi stared blankly at Elder Elusia. From her face, which looked like that of a young girl in her early twenties, she could clearly see the endless vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
It seems that the survival problem of the elves has been bothering her for a long time, and even this elegant and graceful elf elder is a little overwhelmed.
"Elder Elusia, if you think about it this way, then I think it would be better for me to change my previous proposal and not let Yanis become my slave." Xu Yidao.
"Oh why?"
"If your wish is for the elves and humans to live in peace and survive together, then you cannot let the elves reappear in front of humans with the mark of inferiority. If Yanis is my slave, If you appear in front of other humans, then other humans will still regard the elves as the elves who were captured and became slaves because they failed in the racial war thousands of years ago. There will be no change in their view of you." Xu Yi replied.
Elder Elusia thought for a moment and then asked: "Then what's the difference if I don't let Yanis become your slave?"
"There is a big difference." Xu Yi said with certainty. "I hope Yanis will work in our Chamber of Commerce simply because she is impressed by her genius artistic talent and wants me to be the professional appearance designer of our Chamber of Commerce. If she had appeared as a normal elf instead of me, slave, then other humans will be more likely to focus on her identity as a stylist and notice her own value. We humans are a very realistic race, and only you have value. Only then will you gain our attention and people will take you seriously."
Elder Elusia pondered for a long time this time before slowly speaking: "President Xu, I think you taught me a very good lesson this time. Yes, it is precisely because human beings are a very realistic Only then will the race gradually stand out among the many races on the continent, and eventually take control of this continent from us elves who are arrogant and unwilling to see the reality clearly. Now if we want to continue to survive, we can only act like this. You humans should become realistic and reflect the value of our elves besides our beauty. That’s what we should really do.”
After saying this, Elder Elusia suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Yi.
"President Xu, thank you for helping me understand these principles more thoroughly."
