Volume 7 Chapter 49 - The Desire For Living Space (1/2)

Once Seveni left, elder Illusia, elder Lisanya, and elder Undine arrived at the Stantine Duchy together.

The day after Cassandra had appeared, Arch Magus Camilla had already told the three elven elders about this dragon because of the legend of the Abyss Demon Race.

The three elders had already been here twenty days ago and had a long conversation with Cassandra.

From Cassandra, the three elders learned that the legend of the Abyss Demon Race was real, but they also learned that the Abyss Demon Race wasn’t as terrifying as the legends. They wouldn’t arrive in this world to bring the end of the world and destroy the entire world……

Although this was only information from Cassandra alone, since she was a legendary dragon that was at the same level as the Abyss Demon Race, it seemed credible when she said this.

So after talking to Cassandra, whether it was Arch Magus Camilla or the three elven elders, they all let out a sigh of relief.

But the three elders couldn’t completely relax, so they hoped that they could send people to the Fire Rock Island where the dragons lived with Cassandra, so they could ask the other dragons and the other races of the Magic Cloud Continent about the Abyss Demon Race.

They came back again to bring the people that they had selected with them.

According to the agreement, the three elf tribes would choose twenty elves each to go with the fleet this time.

Other than meeting the dragon race and the other races, they would also reinforce the elves that were sent on the first open sea exploration fleet.

But when Xu Yi met these three elders, he found that there were over fifty elves behind each elder.

Xu Yi looked at elder Illusia with a surprised look, “Elder Illusia, the Moon Shadow Tribe and the Azshara Tribe have bigger populations, so it’s fine if they send more people. Why are you sending this many people? Isn’t your tribe short on manpower?”

Elder Illusia revealed a faint smile, “The secret of the Abyss Demon Race is an important matter, it’s reasonable even if we sent everyone from our tribe.”

Xu Yi looked at elder Lisanya and elder Undine who had serious looks before turning back to elder Illusia. He couldn’t help shaking his head.

“I say, elder Illusia, I acknowledge that you’ve learned how to hide yourself in human society, but to hide yourself in front of me…..you’re still too early.”

Elder Illusia blinked before asking, “Is my acting really that bad?”

“It’s just that bad.” Xu Yi nodded with a serious look. He looked at elder Lisanya and elder Undine before asking in a deep voice, “Alright, just tell me what you want to do. We’ve been friends for many years, what is there that can’t be said?”

The three elders looked at each other and after hesitating a bit, elder Lisanya said with a smile, “Alright, we won’t hide it then. Chairman Xu, I heard that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is planning on developing this new continent?”

“Un, we do have this plan. What? You’re interested?”

“We are very interested.” Elder Undine took over as she had a serious look on her face, “Chairman Xu, as you can see, the Sines Continent is completely controlled by you humans and there isn’t much space to develop for us elves. Now that there’s a whole new continent, I feel that this is a very good chance for all of us elves.”

“This means…..that you want to get some territory that belongs to you elves on the Magic Cloud Continent?” Xu Yi knitted his brows to ask, “Three elders, it isn’t that I’m looking down on you, but with your current power…..do you really think that you can do this? It isn’t like the Magic Cloud Continent doesn’t have any living beings, perhaps there are more powerful races than us humans there?”

“So don’t we need to explore it first?” Elder Lisanya replied, “Now that we’ve had this idea, as for how to implement it, naturally it would depend on the circumstances. Of course, the most important thing in my opinion is the support of chairman Xu and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.”

Xu Yi looked at the three elders and he could see that they weren’t joking at all.

It had already been fifteen years since he met the Night Song Tribe led by elder Illusia.

In these fifteen years, Xu Yi had always been close to the elves and even married Agnes and Tvisti. It could be said that his relationship with the elves was quite close.

He knew better than anyone the desire that the elves had for living space.

Just like elder Undine had said, the Sines Continent was already controlled by the humans, so there were few places to live for the elves.

So now that there was a brand new continent in front of them, it was like a delicious piece of meat that was placed in front of people that had been starving for several days. It was very enticing and they couldn’t resist it at all.

Xu Yi thought about it for a bit before giving a sigh.

“Alright, three elders, I understand what you are thinking. However, before this, I have to remind you that after several years of development, your three tribes have already set up a decent foundation in our human society. So even if you want to go to the new continent to find a bigger living space, I feel that you shouldn’t give up the foundation that you’ve worked so hard to build here.”

“Who said that we’re giving it up?” Elder Lisanya looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes, “We’re earning several million or even up to ten million gold coins a year now, it would be a pity to give all that up. We are also counting on buying military magic machines from your Frestech Chamber of Commerce with that money, so we can prepare to enter the new continent in the future.”
