As the night gradually deepened, this secluded courtyard gradually fell into silence. [乐^Read^Novel][].[乐Read][x].[]
Hearing the sound of the orc girls laughing and playing in the distance gradually stopped, a trace of disappointment flashed across Xu Yi's face.
He has been waiting patiently here for two full hours, but no orc girl has come to him yet.
Of course, he was not waiting for any orc girl to volunteer, but wanted to see if any of these orc girls had that kind of consciousness.
Two hours ago, Xu Yi announced to the orc girls that he would set off back to Bangta City tomorrow. If any orc girl wants to go back with him, they can set off together.
At the same time, he also said that after returning to Bangta City, he would discuss with Steele to decide the future arrangements of the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe. If any orc girl wants to continue to stay in the Crescent Moon Song and Dance Troupe, of course she can Leave. And if you don't want to stay and want to find another way out for yourself, he will also welcome you and will try his best to make arrangements.
In order to let these orc girls understand what he meant, Xu Yi even told them clearly that his expectation for the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe was to let the orcs show themselves to the humans of the Lampali Kingdom and change the orcs' influence in the kingdom. They do not want the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe to become a simple springboard through which they can live a luxurious human life.
"To put it simply, I don't want you to become the plaything of any human noble or businessman." In the end, Xu Yi even said this sentence in an unusually straightforward manner.
However, after saying this, Xu Yi waited patiently for two hours in the room assigned to him by Baron Heiners. But no orc girl took the initiative to find him.
Xu Yi was naturally very disappointed with this.
But when he thought about it, he felt that this was actually because he had too high demands on those orc girls.
For these orc girls, because they have been living in the difficult conditions of the Black Rice Wasteland before, now that they have come to Anvilmar City and seen the luxurious life of human noble merchants, it is natural for them to be attracted and tempted. It is actually unreasonable for Xu Yi to blame and force them to do so.
"Perhaps I should read it more cruelly?" Xu Yi felt a flash of hesitation in his heart as he watched the magic lights at the last station of the courtyard where the orc girls were resting go out in the distance.
Since the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe bears his expectations, when the direction of the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe goes against his expectations. He should forcefully reverse it.
With his and Steele's ability to control these orc girls. It's a breeze.
But when Xu Yi thought of the happy smiles of those orc girls when they mentioned their life in Anvilmar City, Xu Yi couldn't bear it.
"There has never been a human who has thought so much about the orcs like me, right? Since this is the path they have chosen, then let them go..."
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly. Stand up and get ready to rest.
Just opened the room door. I saw a white shadow appear on the path outside the door.
Watching Avril approach floatingly. Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
"What? Avril, aren't you sleeping yet?"
Avril shook her head slightly, and a bunch of furry fox ears trembled twice in the night wind. It adds a playful flavor to her, and combined with her exquisite and beautiful face, it is no wonder that she has become the goal pursued by many noble merchants in Anvilmar City.
"Sir, may I disturb you for a moment?"
"come in."
Entering the house, Avril took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xu Yi first, and then stood respectfully opposite Xu Yi. She did not sit down opposite Xu Yi until Xu Yi signaled to her.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Xu Yi said keeping a gentle tone and expression.
Avril gritted her teeth gently, her expression seemed a little hesitant. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and read hard.
"President, actually... In fact, we all understand what you just said to us, and we are all very grateful to you, because from your words and your attitude towards us all the time, we know very well, You are one of the few humans who truly treats us as equals, and those human nobles and businessmen who pursue us really just treat us as playthings.”
Xu Yi glanced at Avril slightly in surprise, thinking that these orc girls were not brainless.
"It seems that you are their representative?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "Okay, tell me what you think and decide."
"President, actually... In fact, you may look down on us, but in our opinion, even if we are treated as playthings by those human nobles and businessmen, as long as they can give us a good living condition, we feel that we are treated as playthings... It’s nothing…”
"So you know very well what you want." Xu Yi read from the beginning. "If this is your final choice, then I have no objection. However, I must warn you that if anyone makes such a choice, they must quit the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe, because I need to maintain the purity of this song and dance troupe."
Avril shook her head: "President, you misunderstood. We actually just want a stable and comfortable life. After all, we used to live in the black rice wasteland, and the conditions were very poor. I believe you are also very aware. Now we can have No one wants to miss the opportunity to have a better life.”
Xu Yi snorted softly: "I said, this is your own choice, and I will not interfere with you. But I have the right to interfere with this song and dance troupe."
Avril bit her silver teeth lightly, with a hint of bitterness on her face, and shook her head slightly: "Mr. President, you still don't understand what I mean. In fact, we...we are all very uneasy."
"Uneasy?" Xu Yi glanced at her slightly in surprise. Seeing the complex expression of panic, hesitation, anxiety, etc. on Avril's face, Xu Yi read his head slightly. "You came from the Black Rice Wasteland to live in our human world. It's normal to feel uneasy. But I think it's really not a good choice for you to place your hopes on the noble businessmen who pursue you."
"We all understand this, but President, what choice do you want us to make?" At this point, Avril looked at Xu Yi with a hint of resentment in her eyes. "Actually... President, when the sisters of the song and dance troupe chatted in private, they all agreed that you are countless times better than the noble merchants in Anvilmar City. If you are willing to accept us, everyone. Will be very happy.”
Look at the expectation in Avril's eyes. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xu Yi's face, he coughed lightly, waved his hand and said, "If I do this, what's the difference between me and those noble businessmen who want to treat you as their playthings? So don't mention it again."
Avril looked disappointed. Sigh. He shook his head and said: "No. President, you are different because you treat us as equals from the bottom of your heart. Unlike the noble businessmen of Anvilmar City, who only respect us on the surface."
"Since you think I treat you all equally, it's even more impossible for me to do such a thing." Xu Yi took a breath and said seriously: "Okay, I understand what you are thinking. I also said, no. Interfere with your own decisions, but I can promise you one thing.”
Avril blinked her big, naturally charming eyes and looked at Xu Yi intently.
"If you can choose to stay in the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe, then I will work hard to find a path for you that allows you to truly stand on your own and gain a foothold in our human world without being attached to other humans. I cannot guarantee 100% I can't do it, but I will try my best. If you believe me, stay. If you don't, I won't interfere with your other choices."
Avril's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, her expression moved slightly, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but paused and did not say anything.
After pondering for a while, Avril bowed respectfully to Xu Yi and withdrew.
As soon as Avril left, Baron Heiners entered the house with his hind legs.
"Xu Yi, why are you working so hard for some orcs?" Baron Heiners frowned, looking puzzled. "In fact, your purpose is just to let other people in the kingdom accept workers of different races, right? I think this is very simple. Now so many workers of different races are working in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, everyone has long known that they can bring a lot of The good thing is that it’s actually not that difficult to accept.”
"This is different." Xu Yi shook his head. "Because of my presence, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly accepts workers of different races. Others are different. Even in Bangta City now, workers of different races still receive some discriminatory treatment."
Baron Heiners still said: "Do you still want all humans to treat all different races equally? This is definitely impossible!"
"How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried it?" Xu Yi glanced at him.
Hainas was a little puzzled: "Xu Yi, I still don't understand, why do you have to let humans and alien races coexist peacefully? If you want to get something from those alien races, with our current strength as humans, you can directly force them to Just take it out, why bother with it.”
"You don't understand this. The reason why alien races are alien races means that they must be very different from us humans. There are some things that we humans cannot learn even if they show them. Force may be able to I get some benefits, but I definitely don’t get what I really need, so in order to get the best from them, I still need them to be willing.”
"What? Have you, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, experienced a lot of benefits from other races?" Baron Heiners asked.
"Of course. I can even say that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is able to develop so fast and so well. Other races in the chamber of commerce have played a very huge role in it. If their work and dedication are missing, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely It won’t be as strong as it is now.”
Hearing the complacency in Xu Yi's tone, Baron Heiners suddenly laughed.
"Okay, President Xu of the powerful Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I hope you can laugh like you do now when you see the old men in the Noble Council tomorrow."
Xu Yi immediately frowned deeply. (To be continued...)
