Chapter 82 This Is My Child
Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi with a smile, and the smile on his face was a little more cordial than before.
"Anis is waiting for you, go and see her."
"it is good."
Xu Yi responded, and stopped greeting the two elders. Led by a female elf from the Moon Shadow Tribe who was leading the way, he entered a tall tree house in the tribal territory.
Inside the tree house, Yanis was consolidating her eyes with her eyes closed. When she heard footsteps outside, she immediately opened her eyes wide and stared at the door expectantly.
Seeing Xu Yi walk in, Yanis jumped up from the half-lying bed and threw herself into Xu Yi's arms.
"Master President, you finally came to see me!"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "I've wanted to see you for a long time, but Elders Lisanya and Elusia have refused to let you."
Yanis giggled: "Don't blame the elders, they also gave birth to this child safely for me."
Hearing that Yanis mentioned the child, Xu Yi looked around, but did not find anyone else in the room.
"Where's the child?"
"The elder said that the child's condition is still unstable, and he has been placed in the moon well for observation these days." Yanis replied.
"Unstable? What's going on?" Xu Yi was a little surprised and worried.
This is his and Agnes' first child, which means a lot, and if something goes wrong, the consequences can be very serious.
Seeing Xu Yi's nervous face, Yanis shook her head happily: "It's okay, there's nothing serious, it's just that the elders value him too much, so they are very careful with him."
"He? Is it a boy?" Xu Yi noticed this keenly.
"Hmm. He's a very beautiful boy. He looks like you." Yanis laughed.
"How can you be beautiful like me? How can you be beautiful like you." Xu Yi laughed.
In fact, I got a notice from Elder Lisanya a week ago. Claiming that Yanis and his baby had been born safely had until now filled him with a sense of unreality.
Although during the one and a half years since Yanis left him, he had guessed from all aspects that Yanis should be pregnant with his child, but when he knew that Yanis had really taken the child After giving birth, it still felt a little weird.
According to Elder Lisanya and Elder Alucia, this is the first time in the history of Sains Continent that can be recognized by both parties, especially by the elves. A combination of humans and elves.
But the other party of this combination is Xu Yi himself.
"Let's go and see the child together." Xu Yi suggested.
"Okay, but you have to talk to the elders first."
Yanis took Xu Yi to go out together, and found Elder Elsia and Elder Lisanya again, and then the four of them walked deep into the tribe together, and came to the moon well located in the center of the entire tribe.
On the surface of the water in the moon well, where the stars are shining, there is a small wooden basin floating gently with the breeze.
In the tub, lay a baby that looked no different from a human baby, with its eyes closed, as if sleeping peacefully.
"This is our child? Why don't you see many elves' characteristics?" Xu Yiqi asked.
Elder Lisanya and Elder Alucia looked at each other. Look a little helpless.
"No way, the genetic characteristics of your humans are too obvious. According to the records of the clan, as long as other races combine with humans, the children born in the end will always be more and more like humans. Our elves are not different from humans. Big, the remaining half-elves after combining with humans will naturally be more human-like."
"Of course there are still some differences." Elder Elusia stretched out his hand to wave, and a breeze rose out of thin air, blowing the wooden basin closer to the direction where everyone was.
When the wooden basin floated over, Elder Elusia bent over and picked up the baby, and held it in front of Xu Yi.
"Look, his ears and eyes still have obvious elf features. If you pay attention, you can still find the difference from humans."
Xu Yi took a closer look and found that the baby's ears were indeed much longer than those of ordinary humans. Although they were far less sharp than normal elves, it was easy to find the difference from normal humans.
In addition, his eyes are particularly bright, and the pupils did not inherit Xu Yi's pure black, but a kind of faint blue, which made people couldn't help but secretly praise them in their hearts when they saw them.
Of course, the most obvious difference is that the center of the pupil is not a round hole like ordinary humans, but oval, with lines around it, which is obviously different from humans.
Xu Yi turned his head and took a serious look at Yanis, Elder Elusia, and Elder Lisanya beside him, and found that their pupils were also oval, and the shape was flatter.
Looking at it this way, what Elder Lisanya said just now is absolutely correct.
Compared with other races on the Sainz continent, human genetics are stronger.
If it combines with humans, the genetic genes of other races will be fused little by little, and eventually disappear.
"Maybe this is the reason why Sainz Continent is still ruled by humans?" Xu Yi speculated in his heart.
"cluck—"
The sleeping baby suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, but instead of crying, he stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, and then let out a clear laugh, and stretched out his pair of small arms to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help being happy, and reached out to hug him.
"It looks like he knows exactly who his father is."
"The child of our elves can have a special sense of everything in the surrounding nature from the moment he is born, and can easily sense his closeness from the people around him. He may have inherited this, and then recognized you and He has the same breath." Elder Lisanya said.
"Oh? That's really good."
After Xu Yi teased the child for a while, he handed him to Yanis to hold him, and turned to look at elders Elsia and Lisanya.
The two elders looked at each other, nodded in unison, and signaled Xu Yi to follow.
The three came to sit down in a tree house next to the moon well. No other elves were allowed to follow.
"President Xu. About the arrangements for this child. You must already know all about it, right?" Elder Lisanya said after the three of them sat down.
"I know, but... I don't agree with this arrangement." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Elder Lisanya asked in surprise.
"Because he is my child, of course he wants to live with me. Wouldn't it be too irresponsible for me as a father to leave him to grow up in your elf tribe?"
"It's nothing to do with it," Elder Elsia said. "Although the child will grow up in our tribe in the future, it is not far from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You can come to see him anytime you want. I don't think it will affect anything."
"I've said it before. He is my child, so he must live with me. In addition, Yanis is my wife now, and he should live with me for a long time."
Xu Yi paused and continued: "Before you told me that Yanis's body needs to be recuperated, and I don't know much about the physical condition of the elves, so I handed her over to you. But I didn't expect that you would actually Let me not see her for a full year and a half. I am very dissatisfied with this, so I will not give this child to you no matter what. "
Seeing Xu Yi's serious face, Elder Alucia and Elder Lisanya couldn't help frowning.
They have known Xu Yi for a long time, and they have had more contacts. Of course I understand that it is rare for Xu Yi to put on such a face, but once he does. That means he has made up his mind and it is difficult to change.
After pondering for a while, Elder Lisanya said in a deep voice: "President Xu, I think you should be very clear why we made such an arrangement. This is something that is beneficial to both of us, why are you so stubborn?"
"It's good for both parties, but it's not good for this child, it's not good for Yanis, so I can't accept it." Xu Yi still had a sullen face. "Elder Lisanya, Elder Alusia, of course I understand the intention of your arrangement. It is nothing more than hoping to use this child to strengthen the connection between us humans and your elves, so as to facilitate in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the future. wrong?"
"That's right. This child represents the first step in the integration of our elves and you humans. We must pay attention to it." Elder Lisanya said seriously.
"But you don't need to keep him in your elf tribe if you pay attention, right?" Xu Yi asked back. "Actually...Elder Lisanya, you have too little confidence in your elves, and even less in us humans. Haven't you discovered that after all these years of contact with each other, at least the elves of your two tribes Have you already merged with us humans very smoothly?"
Elder Lisanya and Elder Alucia looked at each other and fell into silence. After thinking for a while, they nodded slightly.
"Well, I have to admit. At least in the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson and the surrounding countries, the relationship between humans and our elves has been very harmonious, and there is not much estrangement. gone."
"Then do you know why?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Why? Probably because they are used to it."
"This is part of the reason, but it's not the most important." Xu Yi turned to look at Elder Elusia. "Elder Alucia, do you still remember what I told you at the beginning? I said, we humans are actually a race that values interests very much. As long as the other party can bring us benefits, then no matter what race the other party is, in fact It makes no difference."
"Well, you did say that." Elder Alcia nodded. "
"You see, the current situation has perfectly reflected this point. The most important reason why the humans in these countries can get along well with the elves of your two tribes is that you can bring them benefits and benefits To give you the simplest and most direct example, that is fertilizer. Elder Lisanya, just relying on fertilizer alone is enough for your Moon Shadow tribe to gain a firm foothold in the human world."
Elder Lisanya was silent for a moment, then hummed.
"President Xu is right. With the help of chemical fertilizers, we can even establish contact with the Maro Empire, the Candela Empire, and even further human countries. When discussing matters related to chemical fertilizers, these humans have never The elves have seen it differently."
Having said that, Elder Lisanya glanced at Xu Yi, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"So when we negotiated business with those cunning human merchants, we suffered a lot because of it..."
"It's none of my business." Xu Yi spread his hands. "In short, what I mean is that as long as you elves can reflect your own value, then you don't need to worry about getting along with humans. Even if there is no fertilizer, there is still the plastic industry of the Nightsong tribe, and now you are cooperating with the Amley Chamber of Commerce The landscaping industry, and the natural beauty series in cooperation with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, etc... With these unique things, you don’t need to rely on a baby to maintain your connection with humans.”
The two elders were silent for a while, and Elder Aluxia sighed softly, saying, "President Xu, don't you understand until now? The reason why we need this child is purely because we want to be with you." Good relationship." (To be continued...)
