Volume 5 Chapter 28 - Creating a bigger stir than before (1/2)
After a while, Narvil finally reacted, quickly running to Xu Yi’s side.
“Sir chairman, why are you here?”
Xu Yi gave him a smile, “I was in the Rudson Kingdom and it wasn’t that far away. I received that news that your ship had arrived, so I came to take a look.” After saying this, he turned to look at the three Magic Ships and asked, “How is it? Was the journey smooth?”
Narvil laughed, “With the goddess of luck, although there were some slight problems during this trip, it overall went very smoothly. Moreover…..” Narvil gave a cough before lowering his voice, “Sir chairman, several days ago, we discovered a valuable island that is less than two hundred kilometers away from here……”
“Valuable?” Seeing the wink from Narvil, Xu Yi immediately understood, “What is the situation of the island right now?”
Narvil gave an ok sign with his hand.
“There’s no problem at all, I’ll give you a report on the details later.”
Xu Yi nodded, “I’m assured if you’re doing it, but I won’t have time to take care of this now. You can take care of it yourself and report to me back in the Stantine Duchy,”
“This……” Narvil thought about it. He felt that there was a rush with Thunderbolt Island, so there wasn’t a need to report this urgently and gave it up.
But there was another matter that he had to tell Xu Yi.
Hearing Narvil tell him about his discussion with chairman Randolph earlier, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He patted Narvil’s shoulder and praised, “You did well. Tell chairman Randolph that our company can consider his request, but as for the specific details, it would be best if he came to the Stantine Duchy to discuss and didn’t rush this now. As for the minerals…..He can just do his best, don’t force it.”
“Un?” Narvil was a bit surprised.
Sir chairman had clearly told him that this matter was very important before, but why did it seem like it didn’t matter now?
Seeing the doubt in Narvil’s heart, Xu Yi explained with a smile, “There’s some change with the cooperation in the Rudson Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, our company will have a high share of the Rudson Kingdom’s mineral resources, so we don’t need to worry about making secret mineral deals. Of course, my meaning isn’t that we don’t need these things and we still need to work on it. That is because our company’s demand for minerals will never have a limit, do you understand what I mean?”
“Understood!” Narvil gave a strong nod before asking in a curious voice, “Sir chairman, is it because the Rudson Kingdom needs help from our company, so they were willing to compromise?”
“Pretty much.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
The reason was because of the cooperation with the Azshara Tribe, but it wasn’t convenient to tell Narvil now.
Seeing that Xu Yi wouldn’t say, Narvil wasn’t interested in asking.
There was no rush to report, so Narvil’s eyes couldn’t help turning to the little girl who had run over to the Morning Sun at an unknown time and was currently looking up with an interested gaze.
“Sir chairman, this little girl is……”
“She is called Lumi, can you tell what her identity is?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Narvil shook his head. He thought that he wasn’t a god, how could he tell what this little girl’s identity was just by looking at her.
But based on sir chairman’s tone, this little girl’s status wasn’t normal.
But based on her clothing, her appearance, or her aura, she didn’t seem like a young miss from a large noble family.
Not to mention that with sir chairman’s status in the Rudson Kingdom, perhaps the only one who could be recognized to have a different status was the Rudson Kingdom’s princess?
However, no matter how he looked at it, this little girl who was wearing cotton clothes of different colours and had dishevelled hair didn’t look like a princess.
Seeing that Narvil couldn’t tell who Lumi was, Xu Yi couldn’t help being surprised.
But then he understood.
The halflings had disappeared from the continent for a long time.
Even if there were records of the halflings in books, they would all become legends.
Everyone had already thought that the halflings had disappeared from the continent.
Moreover, halflings looked just like human children, with few differences.
If it wasn’t for Xu Yi being interested in the halflings’ knowledge of magic machines, looking through plenty of books on them and met Lumi with elves by her side, it would have been hard for him to tell immediately that she was a halfling of legend.
When Xu Yi was about to take the chance to reveal Lumi’s identity, she suddenly came over and shouted in an excited voice, “Hey, Xu Yi, this ship is simply amazing! How did you make it?”
