Volume 4 Chapter 97 - Concern revealed (1/2)

Watching elder Lisanya’s fire red Magic Sedan drive off, like a ball of fire flying away, disappearing across the horizon, Xu Yi couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile.

Talking to elder Lisanya felt like talking to a human merchant for him, it was completely different from the relaxed feeling of talking to elder Illusia. Rather he was a bit nervous and it made him focus, properly handling it.

But this method was easier for him to adapt since he spent more time with human merchants.

Moreover, if both sides clearly stated their benefits, it was easier for them to have a cooperation, as long as they both received what they needed.

Although elder Lisanya had given quite a few requests, it wasn’t hard for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. But the solution that she gave in the end made Xu Yi feel like it was unbelievable.

This method was even more crude than the method Xu Yi gave the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi’s method was creating a hill that they could lay a road on, which was already exaggerated enough. However, elder Lisanya’s plan was even more exaggerated.

Because she wanted to use plants to replace the hill!

Xu Yi naturally had great doubts about this matter because plants in his mind were always fragile, how could it replace a hill in taking a large amount of weight?

Not to mention that the highest part of this had to reach the cliffs of fifty meters, what kind of plant could grow to such an exaggerated height?

But elder Lisanya had promised him that the elves had a way to solve this problem because when the elves ruled the continent, the biggest city of the elves, the Moonlight City Darnasus was placed atop a giant tree. The weight that it bore was countless times greater than that of a road.

Although the elves had declined and this World Tree no longer existed, the elves still had ways to grow special plants.

With the characteristics of these plants, they could replace the hill in bearing this load.

Xu Yi was very doubtful.

In his opinion, ignoring everything else, just the stability of plants couldn’t replace that of a hill.

Even if they could build this road, if the plants that were used as support were to change or wither, that could destroy the entire road.

As a mechanical engineer, Xu Yi could not approve of this plan.

Elder Lisanya didn’t insist on Xu Yi approving of it, rather she had Xu Yi think about it before leaving.

“If there was the legendary Goddess of Life that descended, perhaps I could believe in this kind of exaggerated road.” Xu Yi gave a shrug and turned away from the Magic Sedan driving off before looking surprised, “When did you get here?”

Seveni revealed a faint smile, “I’ve been here a while, but seeing that you were talking to elder Lisanya, I didn’t disturb you.”

Seeing Seveni’s face that was clearly thinner, Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart.

After Seveni brought her personal guards with her, Xu Yi arranged a corner in his territory for her to stay. Normally she rarely came out, she only came to see Xu Yi and talk to Still from time to time. Other times she would sit at home painting, becoming a stay at home girl.

This was completely different from Seveni’s bright and gentle appearance from before, but whether it was Xu Yi or Still patiently urging her, they couldn’t change her actions at all.

According to what Still said, she felt a kind of “dying hope” from Seveni.

Xu Yi didn’t know what she encountered to become like this and he couldn’t think of a way to comfort her. He could only watch as Seveni became thinner with each day and her face turned from the healthy red glow to its current paleness.

In order to find the truth, Xu Yi had used some of his connections left in the Lampuri Kingdom to investigate, but he couldn’t find anything.

But based on news from Leslie, he knew that King Eric didn’t make any remarks about Seveni taking her private guards to leave the Lampuri Kingdom. There was no sound in the kingdom on this matter, it was like her highness Seveni no longer belonged to the Lampuri Kingdom.

This matter was clearly strange, but Seveni wouldn’t say a thing, so Xu Yi didn’t know the truth.

Xu Yi thought about it and found that he didn’t have a way to ask Seveni about what happened, so he could only ask with a smile, “Did you need me for something?”

Seveni shook her head, “It’s nothing, I just felt bored staying in my room and wanted to come out for a walk.”

“Un, you should walk more.” Xu Yi immediately said, “If you stay at home any longer, you might become a NEET.”

Seveni looked at Xu Yi in surprise, “What is a NEET?”

Xu Yi laughed, “A girl who won’t come out even if she was beaten to death, that’s what a NEET is.”

Seveni couldn’t help smiling, “It doesn’t sound good, but it’s quite interesting.”
