Magic Industry Empire - 454. Chapter 454
Although in the information Xu Yi obtained, the old city lord of Batlu, Earl Longley, and the lord Will of Lemmat, expressed their support for Prince Eric’s succession to the throne, but he and Lemmat simply The fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is different from outside the city. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet has come all the way within the range of Batlu City, but it has not encountered any obstacles.
Xu Yi was still worried about whether he would drive overnight to avoid sleeping in the wild if he was turned away from the city again. Now that Batru City did not show any special response, he was relieved.
Perhaps as he had guessed, the little Earl Longli, who took over the position of earl and city lord, is somewhat different from his father, Earl Longli, in terms of political stance.
Approaching dusk, the convoy finally drove into Batrou City.
Looking at the low and dilapidated city wall in front of him, and the rusty and rusty city gate that shook as soon as the wind blows, Xu Yi almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
He has been in this world for more than six years, and he has also seen many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari. He thought that Bangta City was the most backward and old city among them, but the Batru City in front of him completely refreshed his mind. Lower limit.
Such a place looks much more dilapidated than the Bangta city that Xu Yi saw for the first time three years ago. It is so small that it can hardly be called a city, but should only be regarded as a castle. It is Batru City. ?
Xu Yi couldn’t help but shook his head.
Although within the scope of Batlu City, the surrounding sceneries on this road fully show the poverty of the city, but seeing the main city that represents the image of the entire city actually looks like this, it still makes He was a little surprised.
In the last six months, Xu Yi personally went to many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari to conduct field trips due to the expansion strategy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, including poor cities, but no matter how poor those cities are, at least the main city will still be built. It’s pretty good.
In any case, the poor are only ordinary civilians, and have nothing to do with nobles like Lord City Lord, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a trace of respect for the old Earl Longli who had passed away.
From this point of view, it seems that he is not the kind of guy who seeks a reputation, but should really consider the civilians under his control.
Of course, his choice to support His Royal Highness Prince Eric is really questionable.
The new flying chamber of commerce and the magic industry that it promotes is currently mainly concentrated in the southern region of the Lampari Kingdom. The northeastern province is currently only dotted with a few chambers of commerce involved in the production of household magic machinery, as for the magic locomotive. It can also be regarded as the highest-end magic technology inside the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which is extremely rare in the entire northeast province, and naturally it has never appeared in a small city such as Batru City.
So the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, a fleet of more than 20 magic locomotives, just approached the city gate, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Seeing the cargo magic locomotive in the front line slowly stopping in front of him, the city gate guard was dumbfounded, and looked up at the magic locomotive with two tall monsters in front of him. He was speechless for a long time. Come.
It wasn’t until Ankato jumped out of the car and walked in front of him that the guard officer reacted, swallowed hard, coughed vigorously, set up his posture, and sternly shouted: “Hey, where are you caravan from? What do we do in Batlu?”
Ankato smiled and handed over the caravan pass.
After the guard glanced, his eyes widened in surprise.
“New Flying Chamber of Commerce?” After taking a look at the magic locomotive behind, the guard suddenly realized. “That’s right. Except for your new flying chamber of commerce, which chamber of commerce has so many magic locomotives.”
Ankato was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the gate guard in the poor and backward town of Batru City would actually know about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Immediately, there was a sense of pride in my heart. Even this kind of people knew the New Flying Merchant Association, which shows how famous the New Flying Merchant Association is now in the kingdom.
“Yes, we are the new flying chamber of commerce from Bangta City. We are going to deliver goods to Sever City, passing by here, and want to stay here for one night tonight.” Ankato explained.
“Oh…” The guard looked at the pass in his hand, and then at the caravan behind Ankato and Ankato, frowning: “It’s okay to let you enter the city, but you have so many magic locomotives…I’m afraid I can’t make arrangements after entering the city.”
“Huh?” Ankato looked through the city gate in amazement, and found that the road connecting the city gate was small and crowded. The widest place was about less than four meters wide, and the narrowest. The place is less than three meters.
Although it can barely accommodate the magic locomotive to pass, but on such a narrow road, the magic locomotive may not even be able to make a turn when driving in.
Moreover, this road is still the road connecting the city gate. It should be the most spacious road in the city. Even this road is so narrow. You can imagine what other roads in the city look like.
“This…” Seeing this situation, Ankato was also a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he had to come to the team to ask Xu Yi for instructions.
Xu Yi was also wondering how Ankato had been negotiating with the city gate guard for such a long time. After hearing Ankato’s explanation of the situation, he was also a little startled.
Although I had seen this city of Batru be short and small, I didn’t expect the situation in the city to be so embarrassing.
“President, I think we just set up camp outside the city.” Camby suggested. “Anyway, it’s already on the edge of the city, so there won’t be any problems, right?”
Xu Yi thought for a while and nodded: “It’s okay. Ankato, go and inform the rest of the team that they will camp out of the city tonight, but if you feel uncomfortable, you can also choose to go to the city to find a hotel to rest, and the Chamber of Commerce will reimburse you. ”
Ankato left in response, Xu Yi pondered for a moment, got out of the car and walked to the gate of the city, where he found the guard to discuss.
Hearing that the convoy wanted to camp outside the city gate, the guards hesitated.
“I’m afraid that won’t work… if you stop outside the city, it will hinder others…”
Knowing that Xu Yi was the president of the New Flying Merchants Association, the guard officer’s tone was involuntarily weakened. If someone else made such a request, he would have been rushed away long ago.
“We will choose a place that does not interfere with other people, as long as we give us a clearing.” Xu Yi explained patiently. “And just stay for one night and leave at dawn tomorrow, I don’t think it will be a hindrance.”
Seeing that the guard officer was still hesitating, Xu Yi looked around, pulled the guard officer, turned sideways, turned his back to other people around, and took out a purse from his arms and handed it over.
“The money is considered to be the entrance fee we paid, but we don’t enter the city. What do you think?”
The guard glanced at the money bag in Xu Yi’s hand, and could see that the gold coins in the money bag absolutely exceeded the entrance fee they should pay. He grabbed the money bag in his hand, coughed lightly, and said seriously: “Well, since you are really in difficulty, then I can’t make it too difficult for you. Go and find an open space next to you to settle down. Okay, remember, you can’t hinder others. what.”
Xu Yi responded with a smile, just turned around and left, but suddenly noticed that the expression on the guard officer’s face changed drastically. The smiley expression on the face of the guard just now turned out to look like a ghost, and became extremely frightened.
“What’s the matter?” Xu Yi looked back in wonder, looking in the direction the guard was looking at with wide eyes, and saw a carriage rushing from the distance of the road, bringing smoke and dust along the way.
“Wait!” When Xu Yi wondered why the guard officer saw this carriage as if seeing a ghost, the guard officer suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yi’s arm, and stuffed the unclosed money bag directly into Xu Yi’s arms. , Whispered: “Remember, I didn’t say anything just now.”
Xu Yi looked at the guard in amazement, but saw that the expression on his face changed rapidly again, but he piled up a flattering smile, and smiled and greeted the carriage with other city guards at the city gate.
Obviously, the people sitting in this carriage should be the big men familiar with the city guards.
But Xu Yi’s gaze swept over the carriage, only to find that the carriage was very ordinary no matter how it looked, and there was no preciousness at all, so Xu Yi couldn’t figure out who was sitting on the carriage. Let the guard officer actually produce such a drastic change before and after.
After a while, the carriage quickly passed through the dirt and gravel road with smoke and dust, but it ignored the city gate guards and a kind of city guards who came up, passing in front of them without slowing down, and then squeaked to a halt. In front of Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned slightly, raised his right hand, and the magic flow inside his body, using a flow of wind to dissipate the large amount of smoke and dust brought by the carriage.
The smoke faded, and a middle-aged man who appeared to be about forty years old jumped from the carriage, grabbed Xu Yi’s hands, and said with excitement, “President Xu, I have finally caught up with you!”
Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in amazement, and found that his face was exhausted, and his clothes that looked good on the fabric looked wrinkled, but he was extremely energetic, and his eyes were full of joy.
“you are……”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.” The middle-aged man straightened his expression and pointed at the city of Batlu behind Xu Yi: “Chairman Xu, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the current city lord of Batlu. Count Revere Longley. When we met for the first time, I would like to ask Chairman Xu to take care of him in the future.”
Xu Yi was surprised to look at the middle-aged man in front of him who could not see the aristocracy. From the guards and city guards who followed him, he was surprised to see that the middle-aged man should have not lied. He was indeed Lord Longli, the lord of Batlu.
But what makes Xu Yi very puzzled is that Batlu City should clearly support His Royal Highness Prince Eric, why should he be so polite to him, the president of the new Flying Chamber of Commerce? Will he even look so excited after seeing Xu Yi?
Could it be said that… Xu Yi’s previous vision has actually become a reality?
