Volume 1 Chapter 83 (1/2)

Hannas’ ambition

The mysterious guest stood up and opened the cloak that even wrapped up her head, revealing a beautiful face with a heroic feel to it, as well as a pair of long and sharp ears.

It was the female elf Agnes Xu Yi had met in the Angola Tribe last time.

“I still don’t believe in humans now.” Agnes ignored the taunting tone in Xu Yi’s voice and her face was calm, “If it wasn’t for the fact that the elder said that the blueprint you gave us could help the problem of our tribe, I wouldn’t have been sent here.”

Xu Yi revealed a smile and didn’t waste more time on meaningless words. He asked Agnes to sit down and poured a cup of cold water for her according to her request. He then sat down across from her and took out the blueprint Alex had handed him from before.

That blueprint was the one Xu Yi had left with chief Monto when he left the Angola Tribe, having him give it to Agnes. So when he saw this blueprint and heard from Alex that this guest wouldn’t show her face at all, Xu Yi immediately knew that this guest was Agnes.

“Miss Agnes, based on what you said, not only have you seen these blueprints, you even showed them to the elders of your tribe?” Xu Yi asked.

“Yes. The elder looked at it and felt that there is a high chance of this method working, so he had me come looking for you. To implement this method, what do we need to do?” Agnes said with a nod.

Xu Yi looked over the blueprint. This was a method created by mixing many similar cases back on earth, so of course it was very likely this would work.

“I’m very sorry, miss Agnes, I’m afraid I can’t tell you what you need to do.” Xu Yi shook his head, “I had only heard a bit about your problem from chief Monto and only gave an approximate solution based on my own experiences, but because I don’t know the exact situation, I can’t give you a concrete method. Unless I could inspect the area in person, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what you need to do.”

Agnes considered this a bit before asking, “Your meaning is that you want to go to our tribe to look at the situation?”

“That’s right.” Xu Yi confidently said.

Agnes was silent for a bit before shaking her head.

“I’m afraid not. It’s been several hundred years since our tribe has hand any humans enter it and we don’t welcome humans either.”

“Then even if I want to help, I can’t do anything.” Xu Yi stretched out his hands and helplessly said, “Miss Agnes, I think you must admit that solving the problem with the river is a large project and I can’t give you a concrete solution with just my imagination. If you can’t let me inspect the area, I can only say I’m sorry.”

Agnes was silent for a bit before suddenly standing up. She placed the index and middle finger of her right hand on her chest and gave Xu Yi a slight bow, “Since it’s like this, I will be leaving first. I hope you receive Elune’s blessings in your dreams.”

After saying this, Agnes left without even turning back.

Xu Yi opened his mouth and wanted to call out to stop her, but he let go after thinking about it.

The elves had this kind of personality, so he couldn’t change Agnes’ thoughts even if he called out to stop her. It was better to let the elven tribe make their own decision.

Anyway, Xu Yi was not in a rush for this matter, the one in a rush were the elves.

After thinking about some things in the office, Xu Yi stood up to leave. He gave some more requirements for the new factory to manager Riley before getting onto a horse carriage and heading to a small yard to the north of Banta City.

When he walked into this yard, Xu Yi heard Baron Hannas roaring out.

“Millet, move faster! If can’t finish the drafts by dinner, we might not even get to sleep tonight!”

“McCovey, stop standing in a daze, why haven’t you taken the prepared drafts over to printing yet? What are you standing there like a fool for?”

“Meghan, are those fellows responsible for collecting news back yet? It’s almost time to finalize the draft! If you don’t come back, they should give up on their wages today!”

…...

Hearing this voice that was a bit hoarse, Xu Yi never would have connected this voice to Baron Hannas who had seemed quite shy when he met him for the first time.

It seemed that being the chief editor for the «Banta Times», it had changed Baron Hannas quite a bit.
