Volume 1 Chapter 62 (1/2)

Banta Times

“I don’t welcome him!” Heinz steeled his face and revealed all of the unhappiness in his heart, “Xu Yi, when you agreed to that fellow, why didn’t you tell me first? Don’t you know that now that we are producing the Magic Rice Cooker, we are working at full capacity and I have my hands full everyday. But now you want to bring in a weak and pale noble young master, do you want us to produce properly?”

Xu Yi looked over in surprise at Baron Hannas in the distance who had a curious look and was skulking around like a cat and he couldn’t help asking, “It can’t be right? Didn’t I already say that you don’t need to care about him, just treat him like he doesn’t exist. You also don’t need to care about the fact that he’s a noble young master, he already said that you don’t need to be that polite to him.”

“You say it so easily!” Heinz angrily said, “No matter what, he is still a noble young master from Anvilmar City and based on what you said, he has a strong noble background. There are many magic production machines and components in this workshop, so if something happened to him or if he was injured, would we even be able to keep running this workshop? Even if nothing happens to him, he is still interfering with our normal work by standing there! Look, he’s even running over to harass our workers…..My god! He actually wants to control the Magic Thread Rolling Machine!”

Xu Yi and Heinz quickly ran over and pulled back Baron Hannas who was eager to give the machine a try.

“This…..Ke, Baron Hannas, you can look over the workshop, but let’s forget about operating the machines, alright?” Xu Yi learned from Viscount Leslie’s signals that this Baron Hannas’ background was not small, so he should agree with him as much as possible, “This magic machine is a bit dangerous, so if you try to operate it without training, it is very likely you’ll be hurt by it. Look, the head can knock the head of the nail flat, I think it wouldn’t be that difficult for it to break your finger or even your arm, right?”

Baron Hannas was a bit curious, “It can’t be right? It looks quite simple for those workers to control it.”

“That is because they are our skilled workers. You have to know, when these magic machines were being used at first, there were some workers that were injured because of it and there was even one who broke his arm.” Speaking of this, Xu Yi looked over at the workers that were working the Magic Thread Rolling Machine.

Those workers understood and quickly followed him.

“That’s right, that’s right. That kid Tucci’s arm still hasn’t healed yet.”

“That’s right, this thing is dangerous. I was almost accidentally caught in it last time and if it wasn’t for my quick reactions, I would have lost my entire arm.”

“Right, this magic machine is not something to play with. People who aren’t skilled with it will be injured.”

…...

Hearing the terrifying words from the workers, Baron Hannas hesitated a bit before helplessly giving up with a sigh.

“Alright then, I won’t control it myself and watch you work it instead.”

Xu Yi and Heinz had just given a sigh of relief. They saw Baron Hannas take out a small book and pen from his chest and write something in front of the two.

“There is danger in controlling the magic machines, even workers can be injured.”

Xu Yi looked over the writing in the book and his face twitched.

He never thought the things he said casually would be seriously written down by him.

It was a good thing that there was no worker unions on the Sines Continent, otherwise based on what was recorded here, his factory might have been shut down.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly thought that although even though he paid attention to the treatment of his workers, he hadn’t really thought about safety programs or compensation plans.

Currently there hasn’t been a workplace injury accident yet, so this hidden danger hasn’t been revealed yet. But once this came out, it would cause trouble if he didn’t have appropriate measures in place.

The workers in the workshop before were slaves from Viscount Leslie, but now that they had recruited a hundred workers, he had no choice but to attach importance to this issue.

Thinking of this, in front of Baron Hannas, Xu Yi made plans with Heinz for everything.

Seeing Baron Hannas record everything he said in his little book, Xu Yi couldn’t help revealing a faint smile.

The things Baron Hannas were recording were clearly being brought back for Lewis.

If these things became important to Lewis because he found them interesting, it would be very helpful to what Xu Yi wanted to do in the future.

After he finished touring the household magic machine workshop, Xu Yi brought Baron Hannas to the magic machine workshop.

Seeing that this workshop was filled with dwarves, Baron Hannas was quite surprised.

Since the race war several thousand years ago, other races were appearing less and less in human areas.

Even in the Lampuri Kingdom’s capital of Anvilmar, it would be hard to find several dwarves. There was no need to mention an entire hundred dwarves.

Baron Hannas couldn’t suppress the curiosity in his heart, as he grabbed the manager Camby and began asking questions. Only these questions were not related to the workshop or the magic machines, rather it was about the daily lives of the dwarves.

Seeing Baron Hannas asking these gossip questions with an excited look on his face, Xu Yi couldn’t help shaking his head as he made a decision.

If this Baron Hannas was placed on earth, he was most suited to being a paparazzi.
