Volume 7 Chapter 66 - Guests From The New Continent (1/2)

Ten minutes later, there were a row of shadows that appeared on the horizon.

“They\\\'re here.”

Xu Yi and the two elders stood up, moving to the harbour to calmly wait.

After another ten minutes, the steel fleet had slowly pulled into the harbour from the western seas.

When the first large transport Magic Ship docked at the harbour, there was a small figure that jumped out and landed in front of Xu Yi.

“Sir chairman, I’m back!”

Xu Yi gave a laugh before squatting down to be in the line of sight of the other side.

“Hey, Lumi, should I congratulate you first on finding your clansmen?”

Lumi’s eyes turned into crescents from her smiling and she gave a strong nod.

“Un!  Sir chairman, I really have to thank you!  I never thought that there would be a day when I would finally meet my clansmen!”

Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile before looking up at the deck of the large transport Magic Ship.

“Then where are your clansmen?  Have they arrived?”

“I’ll go call them down.”  Lumi waved her hand and flew back onto the ship.

Xu Yi stood up and watched the flying Lumi with a smile, as he truly felt happy for Lumi in his heart.

Since she had been left behind by her race, Lumi had been living alone on the Sines Continent as the sole halfling, so one could imagine just how lonely and sad she felt.

Now that she had finally reached the new continent with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s open sea exploration fleet, even finding the existence of the halflings on the new continent, one could imagine how much joy she felt.

When Xu Yi received this news from the Magic Cloud Continent two months ago that the exploration team had found the halflings on the Magic Cloud Continent, Xu Yi was a bit surprised.

After all, the halflings leaving the Sines Continent and going to the new continent was only a legend.  No one was certain that the new continent existed and no one was certain that the halflings had survived their trip there.

So although Lumi had insisted on going with the exploration fleet because of the rumours left by her tribe, even after finding the Magic Cloud Continent, Xu Yi didn’t have that much hope.

He never thought that they would really find the other halflings.  It had let Lumi accomplish the hope of finding her race that she had held in her heart for several hundred years, it also made Xu Yi very happy.

From a personal perspective, Xu Yi had talked to Lumi about magic research and the history of the halflings many times.  He liked this cute halfling girl who was like a little human girl on the outside with a bright and open personality.

From a business perspective, every member of the halfling race was a master of magic.  They had formed their own system of magic theory, while also being especially fond of magic machine research.

Just Lumi alone had helped the Frestech Chamber of Commerce quite a bit and now that they had found a bunch of halflings, if they could take them all in and have them work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it would greatly increase their magic machine research power.

So no matter how one looked at it, Xu Yi was very happy with this result.

Of course, in addition to Lumi and the halflings that she found on the Magic Cloud Continent, the main guests of this fleet were the widespread elves of the Magic Cloud Continent.

After waiting for a bit, the large transport Magic Ships entered the harbour.  There was a group of elves that had similar appearances to the elves of the Sines Continent, but with slight differences that followed behind the sailors of the ship.

When elder Illusia and elder Lisanya beside Xu Yi saw these elves, they were stunned before going over to greet them.

However, it wasn’t like what Xu Yi imagined.  The two sides were like close acquaintances when they met, looking very calm as they greeted each other.  After making sure that they could communicate, they were very friendly as they talked to each other.

Xu Yi had known the elves for a long time and knew of the personality of elves.  They wanted themselves to look calm, noble, and graceful whenever they could, not letting themselves show the slightest bit of panic.

This kind of personality wasn’t good or bad, but Xu Yi was never used to it.  So he left elder Illusia and elder Lisanya to talk to the elves that came from the Magic Cloud Continent.  He turned to the halflings that followed behind the elves that looked like a bunch of human children.

Different from the calm elves, these halflings started making noise before they even came off the deck.  If it wasn’t someone who knew the situation, they would have thought that it was a bunch of restless human children.
