Chapter 27: I am a child.

"Xu Yi, in fact, even if you do not have to compensate for five hundred gold coins, the patriarch can only promise you the conditions." On the return carriage, Master Lanu suddenly sighed to Xu Yidao.
"Oh? What did you say?" Xu also asked.
"Don't you see it? The living conditions in the tribe have been quite hard." Master Lanu smiled and shook his head. "In fact, I have suggested to the patriarchs long ago that the people will be more eager to see the world of your humanity. With the forging skills of our dwarves, it is very likely that the lives of the people will be greatly improved."
"This suggestion is very good, why did the sluka patriarch not agree?" Xu asked curiously.
Master Lanu looked at Xu Yi and hesitated for a moment. He replied: "Because our dwarves were cheated too many times by your human beings, the patriarchs did not trust human beings at all."
This time I changed to Xu and smiled.
"Then why did the patriarchs agree again this time? Is he not afraid that I am cheating on him?"
"Because there is no way." Master Lanu said helplessly. "The current mainland of Sainz has been completely ruled by your human beings. Almost all resource-rich places are occupied by human beings, whether we are dwarves or elves, even the sturdy orcs can only be separated from you. Far away, find yourself in a place that has not yet been occupied by your human beings. But the resources of these places are not rich, and we are not as creative as you humans, so that our people’s living conditions are getting worse. The number is getting smaller and smaller. Xu Yi, do you know? When I was young, our tribes could have more than a thousand dwarves, but now there are only more than 500 people."
"When you were a kid?" Xu also looked at a drop-down. He thought that the life of the dwarfs could be much longer than that of humans. When he was a child, he was afraid that it was hundreds of years ago.
Master Lanu did not pay attention to what Xu was thinking about. He continued: "On last year, three old people died in the family, but even a baby was not born. The entire tribe lost three more people. The patriarch knows again. In this way, our entire tribe may gradually disappear. But there is no way, our dwarfs have no power to fight against humans on the mainland of Sainz. They have not been able to wage war with humans like thousands of years ago to recapture resources on the mainland. But it is easy to talk into the human race. You probably don't know how much I have suffered in order to survive in Bangta City, and even lost my life."
Xu Yi silently looked at Master Lanu and nodded gently.
Although I don't know what happened, I can see from the imagination that it is hard work that Master Ranu is such an alien race that he wants to fully integrate into the human city and survive smoothly.
"This time the patriarch is actually not prepared to agree that you have pulled so many years of labor directly from the family, but there is no way, the conditions you have proposed are too good. If you don't say anything, just take five hundred at a time. Gold coins can help solve a lot of problems that must be solved within the family. What's more, you also promised to give the hired people a monthly salary of up to eight gold coins. With these rewards, the families of those people will at least You don't have to worry about your life. You say, such a condition, how can the patriarch refuse?"
Xu Yi Shen for a moment, could not help but ask: "The life of the dwarves has really reached such a difficult stage? Why do the patriarchs believe me? Is he not afraid that I am also lying to him?"
"You still don't understand? Even if you are cheating on him, the five hundred gold coins you took out are genuine." Master Lanu turned his eyes. "Moreover, you are the one I brought after all. Although I have not been in contact with your kid for a long time, but because I have lived in human beings for so long, I can see that your boy is not that kind of false. Liar, at least you are seriously fulfilling what you said. With this, I feel that I can trust you once."
Xu also embarrassedly touched his head, hehe smiled: "I was such a trustworthy person."
Master Lanu did not breathe a sigh of relief and said: "You don't be too happy with your kid. How about it, but also how to treat my people when you arrive. I tell you, if you want to fool them. I will give you a good look even if I fight this old life!"
Xu also waved his hand: "How can it be. Master Lanu, you and your people can be my baby, I can't help you with my heart, how can I lie to you? I tell you the truth, Lanu. Master, the work that you and your people are about to do will become the most important work to change the entire Sainz continent. In the future, you dwarfs are likely to write a strong one in the history of the entire Sainz continent. Pen. At that time, you will be an expert who needs to be respected throughout the mainland. Do you still have to worry about the most basic life problems?"
Master Ranu’s eyes glimpsed:
You don’t really say goodbye! What changed the whole continent and wrote into history, I don’t care about this. Now I care most about the house that you promised to cover my people. Where?"
Xu Yi haha ​​smiled, thinking that Master Lanu believes that this is really unrealistic.
But he can be sure that as long as everything goes smoothly, Master Ranu and his people will surely become the most important driving force for changing the history of Sainz.
###
When I returned to Bangta City, where I had been away for three days, it was already at the beginning of the night light. When I entered the city, Master Lanu explained a few words to Xu and jumped off the carriage.
Xu also told the coachman to bring him back to the rented house. He just jumped off the carriage, but found himself sitting in front of the door and watching it, and he was familiar with his body shape.
When I came closer, Xu could not help but sigh.
"Steel? So late, what are you doing at my doorstep?"
Steele was holding his legs and buried his head between his legs. After hearing the voice of Xu, he slowly raised his head.
After seeing her face, Xu was shocked.
Under the light map, Steele's face was very pale, his face was much thinner, his face completely lost the kind of youthful beauty before, and his big eyes had almost no body. The whole person was like a collapse.
"Hey, Steele, what happened?" Xu also worried about squatting down, staring at Steele's eyes, and asked quietly.
Steele opened his mouth, but did not spit out half a word. After a while, he slowly shook his head.
Xu Yi brows a wrinkle, and can not care so much, will lift Stil, open the door and enter the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Vivienne’s bedroom immediately lit up, and the sound of Vivian’s voice sounded.
"Yes...who?"
"It's me! You continue to sleep, you don't have to get up." Xu also responded, holding Steele on the stool, turned and poured a cup of boiling water for her, then sat across from her, paused, softly asked. "Stil, tell me what happened? Is it... being bullied by..."
Steele suddenly showed a bitter smile, looked at Xu also, and took the teacup on the table and poured a bite.
Because I was too anxious, I was so coughing and coughing.
Xu also frowned deeply.
Although he doesn't know much about girls, from the current performance of Steele, she must have suffered a heavy blow. Otherwise, she is usually a lively and playful young girl who will never easily become such.
"Steel, isn't it... the gift is not sent out?" Xu also guessed.
The last time I saw Steele was the time that Steele came to him at night and said that he would thank him, but he was later escorted by the phrase "You are still a child."
However, in the previous conversation, Steele once said that the piano model she had made for Xu also helped, and the birthday of the person she was interested in was coming, she went to the next period of time. A glimpse of the city of Anvil Mar, the king of Lampari, gave the gift to that person.
Now, a few days later, Steele has turned into such a lost look, and it is very likely that the problem will come out.
Upon hearing Xu’s question, Steele put down the teacup and looked at Xu for a while. He suddenly asked:
Xu Yi, you said, am I a child?

Xu Yiyi, is it that Steele still cares about the last sentence he said?
But looking at her is not like it.
Xu also seriously thought about it, but some did not know how to answer it.
Now, Steele’s mental state is obviously not very stable. If he makes a mistake, it is likely to cause unpredictable consequences.
"This... depends on what you say. From my point of view, you..."
"Okay, needless to say, you are right, I am a child! Still a stupid little child!" Steele suddenly raised his voice.

Why do you say that?
Xu also asked with a frown.
"If I am not a child who is innocent and doesn't understand anything, how can I like that kind of scum!" Steele suddenly snorted.
