Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi with a smile, and the smile on her face was a little more cordial than before.
"Yanice is waiting for you, go and see her."
"good."
Xu Yi agreed and stopped chatting with the two elders. Under the leadership of a female elf from the Moon Shadow Tribe who was responsible for leading the way, he entered a tall tree house in the tribe's territory.
In the tree house, Yanis was closing her eyes to recuperate her energy. When she heard the footsteps outside, she immediately opened her eyes wide and stared at the door expectantly.
Seeing Xu Yi walk in, Yanis jumped up from the bed where she was half-lying and threw herself into Xu Yi's arms.
"President, you finally came to see me!"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "I have wanted to see you for a long time, but Elder Lisania and Elder Elusia have refused to let me."
Yanis giggled: "Don't blame the elders, they also wanted me to give birth to this child safely."
Hearing Yanis talk about the child, Xu Yi looked around, but found no one else in the house.
"Where's the child?"
"The elder said that the child's condition is not stable yet, and he has been kept in the moon well for observation for the past few days." Yanis replied.
"Unstable? What's going on?" Xu Yi was a little surprised and worried.
This is his and Yanis' first child, which means it is of great significance. If something goes wrong, the consequences can be very serious.
Seeing Xu Yi's nervous look, Yanis shook her head happily: "It's okay, it's not serious. It's just that the elders value him too much, so they are particularly careful with him."
"He? Is he a boy?" Xu Yi discovered this keenly.
"Yeah. He's a very beautiful boy. He looks a lot like you." Yanis smiled.
"How can you be so beautiful like me? Only like you can you be beautiful." Xu Yi laughed.
In fact, I got the notice from Elder Lisanya a week ago. Claiming that Yanis and his child had been safely born, until now, felt filled with a sense of untruth to him.
Although in the year and a half since Yanis left him, he had guessed from various circumstances that Yanis was pregnant with his child, but when he knew that Yanis had really given birth to his child, After giving birth, I still felt a little weird.
According to Elders Lisania and Elusia, this is the first time in the history of Sainz continent that it can be recognized by both parties at the same time, especially the elves. A combination of humans and elves.
But the other party in this combination is Xu Yi himself.
"Let's go see the children together." Xu Yi suggested.
"Okay, but you have to go and talk to the elders first."
Yanis took Xu Yi out together and found Elder Elusia and Elder Lisania again. Then the four of them walked deep into the tribe together and came to the moon well located in the center of the entire tribe.
On the water surface with twinkling stars in the moon well, there is a small wooden basin floating gently in the breeze.
In the wooden tub, a baby who looked no different from a human baby was lying in it, with his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping peacefully.
"Is this our child? Why can't we see many characteristics of the elves?" Xu Yiqi asked.
Elder Lisania and Elder Elushia looked at each other. He looked a little helpless.
"No way, the genetic characteristics of you humans are too obvious. According to the records of the tribe, as long as other races combine with humans, the children born will always be more and more like humans. We elves are originally no different from humans. Big, the remaining half-elves after combining with humans will naturally be more like humans."
"Of course there are some differences." Elder Elusia stretched out her hand to wave, and a breeze rose out of thin air, blowing the wooden basin closer to the direction of everyone.
When the wooden basin floated over, Elder Elusia leaned over and picked up the baby, holding it in front of Xu Yi.
"Look, his ears and eyes still have obvious elven characteristics. If you look carefully, you can still find the difference from humans."
Xu Yi took a closer look and found that the baby's ears were indeed much longer than those of ordinary humans. Although they were far less pointed than normal elves, it was easy to spot the difference from normal humans.
In addition, his eyes are very bright, and the pupils do not inherit Xu Yi's pure black, but a faint blue, which makes people couldn't help but secretly praise his beauty at the first sight.
Of course, the most obvious difference is that the center of the pupil is not a round hole like ordinary humans, but an oval shape with lines around it, which is obviously different from humans.
Xu Yi turned his head and took a serious look at Agnes, Elder Elusia and Elder Lisania beside him, and found that their pupils were also oval-shaped, and the shape was flatter.
Looking at it this way, what Elder Lisania just said is absolutely correct.
Compared with other races on the Sainz continent, human genes are more powerful.
If combined with humans, the genetic genes of other races will be merged bit by bit and eventually disappear.
"Perhaps this is the reason why Sainz Continent is finally ruled by humans?" Xu Yi speculated in his mind.
"Giggle-"
The sleeping baby suddenly opened its eyes and woke up, but did not cry. Instead, it stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, then let out a crisp laugh, and stretched out its small arms to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel happy, and reached out to hug him over.
"It seems that he knows very well who his father is."
"Children of our elves can have a special sense of everything in the surrounding nature since they are born, and can easily sense their close aura from the people around them. He may have inherited this, and then recognized you and He must have the same aura," Elder Lisanya said.
"Oh? That's really good."
After Xu Yi teased the child for a while, he handed him to Yanis to hold, and turned to look at Elder Elusia and Elder Lisania.
The two elders looked at each other and nodded in unison, signaling Xu Yi to follow.
The three of them came to sit in a tree house next to the moon well. No other elves were allowed to follow.
"President Xu. You must already know about the arrangements for this child, right?" Elder Lisanya said after the three of them sat down.
"I know, but... I don't agree with this arrangement." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Elder Lisanya asked in surprise.
"Because he is my child, of course he must live with me. If he is left to grow up in your Elf tribe, wouldn't it be too irresponsible for me as a father?"
"It doesn't matter, right?" Elder Elushia said. "Although the child will grow up in our tribe in the future, it is not far from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If you want to see him, you can come anytime. I don't think it will affect anything."
"I said it. He is my child, so he must live with me. In addition, Yanis is my wife now and should live with me for a long time."
Xu Yi paused and continued: "Before, you told me that Yanis' body needed to be recuperated, but I didn't know much about the physical condition of the elves, so I handed her over to you. But I didn't expect that you would actually I haven't seen her for a full year and a half. I'm not satisfied with this, so I will never give this child to you."
Seeing the serious look on Xu Yi's face, Elder Elusia and Elder Lisania couldn't help but frown.
They have known Xu Yi for a long time, and they have been in contact with each other even more often. Of course, I understand that it is rare for Xu Yi to show such a face, but once he shows such a face. That means he has made up his mind and it is difficult to change it.
After pondering for a moment, Elder Lisanya said in a deep voice: "President Xu, I think you should know very well why we arranged this. This is something that is beneficial to both of us, so why are you so stubborn?"
"It's good for both parties, but it's bad for this child and bad for Yanis, so I can't accept it." Xu Yi still had a stern face. "Elder Lisanya, Elder Elusia, of course I understand your intention for this arrangement. It is nothing more than hoping to use this child to strengthen the connection between us humans and your elves, so as to facilitate in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the future. wrong?"
"That's right. This child represents the first step in the integration of our elves and you humans. We must pay attention to it." Elder Lisanya said seriously.
"But taking him seriously does not mean that he must be kept in your elf tribe, right?" Xu Yi asked back. "Actually... Elder Lisanya, you have too little confidence in your elves, and even less confidence in us humans. Haven't you discovered that after these years of mutual contact, at least the elves of your two tribes , has it integrated very smoothly with us humans?”
Elder Lisania and Elder Elusia looked at each other and fell into silence. After thinking for a while, they nodded slightly.
"Well, I have to admit. At least in the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Lulson and the surrounding countries, humans and our elves have gotten along very well, and there are not many barriers. ”
"Then do you know why?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Why? Probably because they are used to it."
"This is part of the reason, but it is not the most important." Xu Yi turned to look at Elder Elusia. "Elder Elusia, do you still remember what I said to you at the beginning? I said that we humans are actually a race that attaches great importance to interests. As long as the other party can bring us benefits, then no matter what race the other party is, in fact, There is no difference.”
"Well, you did say that." Elder Elushia nodded. "
"You see, the current situation has perfectly reflected this. The most important reason why the humans in these countries can get along well with the elves of your two tribes is that you can bring them benefits and benefits. . To give the simplest and most direct example, that is chemical fertilizers. Elder Lisanya, just relying on chemical fertilizers is enough for your Moon Shadow Tribe to gain a foothold in the human world."
Elder Lisanya was silent for a moment and sighed.
"President Xu is right. With the help of chemical fertilizers, we can even establish contact with the Maro Empire, the Candela Empire and even further human countries. When discussing matters related to chemical fertilizers, these humans have never thought about it because we are The elves have seen it differently."
Having said this, Elder Lisanya glanced at Xu Yi and raised a slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"So when negotiating business with those cunning human businessmen, we suffered a lot because of it..."
"This is none of my business." Xu Yi spread his hands. "In short, what I mean is that as long as you elves can reflect your own value, then you don't need to worry about getting along with humans. Even without chemical fertilizers, there is still the plastic industry of the Nightsong tribe, and now you are cooperating with the Amri Chamber of Commerce. The landscaping industry, and the natural beauty series in partnership with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, etc.… With these unique things, you don’t need to rely on a baby to maintain the connection with humans.”
The two elders were silent for a while, and then Elder Elusia let out a sigh and said, "President Xu, don't you understand by now? The reason why we need this child is simply to stay with you." A good relationship." (To be continued...)
