Volume 1 Chapter 114 (1/2)

Sincere request

Because they were too involved in the design of the new magic machines, Xu Yi and Camby’s group of dwarves stayed in the meeting and didn’t even leave at the normal time to get off work. When they finally decided their tentative plans and the meeting ending, when Xu Yi finally left the workshop, he found that it was already night outside.

It was already December and the winter freeze had already arrived, so now that it was night, the temperature outside was naturally very cold.

Suddenly coming out of the workshop that was heated up by the Magic Air Conditioner, when Xu Yi was hit by the cold wind outside, he couldn’t help shivering.

The dwarves that walked out with Xu Yi didn’t show any strangeness. Although they were wearing less than Xu Yi, they were filled with energy and didn’t look cold at all.

Camby even excitedly stood on his tiptoes to pat Xu Yi’s shoulder as he said in a loud voice with a smile, “Chairman, your human bodies are too weak. I think you should exercise to strengthen yourself and don’t be like those other magicians, being able blown away with a single gust.

Xu Yi looked at Camby’s body that was twice as thick as his with a bitter smile and shook his head, “Forget it, how can I compare to naturally talented people like you dwarves? It’s better for me to go back and put on some more clothes.”

Camby dug in his chest and took out a bottle to give to Xu Yi.

“Here, this is some half a bottle of good wine I didn’t finish yet. You’ll feel warmer after a few swigs.”

Xu Yi took it and sniffed it, it really had a strong wine fragrance. He couldn’t help knitting his brows as he said, “Camby, didn’t I say that you can’t drink while working? Why do you bring a bottle of wine along with you?”

Camby rubbed his head and laughed, “Relax, all those brothers are watching me, so I can’t break the rules. I just carry this bottle along with me and take a drink after getting off work. You can relax, there definitely won’t be any mistakes.”

Xu Yi helplessly shook his head. He knew that wanting these dwarves addicted to drinking to stop drinking was impossible, so Camby restraining himself like this was already very rare.

Opening the bottle, he raised his head back to take a swig and he felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his stomach. After a while, the essence of the wine came from his stomach and heat came out bit by bit.

Xu Yi let out a breath of wine and felt much more comfortable. He waved his hand to the dwarves before walking out the factory.

When he walked into the darkness away from the factory lights, Xu yi remembered that because of his special orders, the two horse carriages outside the factory had been sent off to bring the magicians back. Now there wasn’t a single carriage left.

Moreover, it was already night, so there wouldn’t be any carriages in this remote place. So, after Xu Yi looked around, he was depressed to find that he could only walk back to Banta City.

It was a good thing this place wasn’t considered that far from Banta City. After Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh, he took another sip of the wine and woke up his mind before he quickly walked towards Banta City.

Without going far, Xu Yi suddenly stopped and his somewhat hazy eyes suddenly became sharp.

“Who? Come out!” Xu Yi gave a cold roar into the darkness.

In the shadows of the trees to the left, there was suddenly a strange distortion before a person slowly walked out.

Xu Yi looked in that direction with the moonlight and could see that person’s slender form, as well as the two sharp ears on their head.

“Young miss Agnes? Why is it you?” Xu Yi asked in a daze.

The one who suddenly appeared was actually the female elf Agnes!

Under the moonlight, Agnes’ body was releasing a faint light that made her seem like she was a dream, not seeming like a real person at all.

Xu Yi knew that this was the special characteristic of the elves.

The elves were known as the race of the moon goddess Elune. They would gain special characteristics under the moonlight, for example the faint glow that was currently surrounding Agnes’ body. It could counter most of the physical and magical damage against her, as well as making her body more lithe and agile.

All the races of the Sines Continent were certain that challenging an elf of the same grade in the forest and under the moonlight was no different from suicide.

And someone who challenged an elf in the forest and under the moonlight…..That fellow must definitely be insane.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s eyes looking at Anges filled with more vigilance.

Although he had just passed the Fifth Grade exam and was already a Fifth Grade Magician, but since Agnes could use the Shadow Stealth Spell of the elves since they first met, that meant her power was only higher and not lower than Xu Yi’s. If she suddenly wanted to attack Xu Yi, Xu Yi would suffer quite a bit.

It was a good thing Agnes wasn’t showing any hostility at all. After she walked of the shadows, she even gave a standard elven greeting to Xu Yi.

“Hello chairman Xu. Under the brilliance of Elune, I sincerely express my happiness at your return.”

Xu Yi was stunned. Agnes was actually using Elune’s name to show her feelings, that meant she was truly happy.

But why was that?

Why was it that Agnes would be happy that he was back?

“Because I have waited over a week for you.” Agnes replied.

Xu Yi was even more confused, “It’s only been a week. To you elves, this is the same time as a blink of the eye for us humans.”

“Yes, but the water source issue to our clansmen, even one second is too long.” Agnes’ almost perfect face looked to be in low spirits, which was a mood that was very rare for elves, “Before leaving the tribe, the river that flows through the river was almost blocked, so the lives of our clansmen have been very hard.”

Xu Yi looked at the expression on Agnes’ face and couldn’t help asking, “Then you didn’t think of another way to solve it? Since you live in the Falling Rain Forest, your water source wouldn’t only rely on the river, right?”
