Magic Industry Empire - 456. Chapter 456

“Chairman Xu, have you seen the river in front? That is the Banau River, the largest river in our northeastern province. After flowing through the entire northeastern province, it will continue all the way eastward, passing through the Duchy of Drake and the Kingdom of Feno. , And finally merged into the Skye River.” Earl Longli enthusiastically pointed to a silver hose in front of him and introduced it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the sparkling water in front of the river, which reflected countless shards of sunlight, which was a bit strange.

“Isn’t it very cold in the north in winter? Why isn’t this river freezing?”

Count Longli laughed: “This is the biggest feature of the Banau River. Although it is located in the north of the kingdom, it never freezes in winter.”

“The reason?” Xu Yi was a little curious.

Although the northern part of the Lampari Kingdom cannot be regarded as the northernmost part of the entire continent, the temperature in winter has been able to enter minus ten to twenty degrees. It is said that the Banau River is not particularly wide, and it should be frozen ice. .

Earl Longli chuckled, “You’ll understand the reason in a moment.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He didn’t expect that Earl Longli would actually have the vice of selling off his feet.

The carriage carried the two along the bumpy rural dirt road, and finally stopped in a small ordinary village.

As soon as Earl Longley got out of the carriage, a group of people gathered around him.

“My Lord, you are here again.”

“My Lord, are you here to take a bath again?”

“My Lord City Lord, it’s a good day today, it’s suitable for more bubbles.”

“Yes, Lord City Lord, you haven’t been here for many days. Walk around and go to our house for dinner. I went up the mountain to hunt a horned deer only yesterday, and I still have my legs. You came just right.”

“My Lord, I want to eat candy…”

…

Seeing a group of ordinary villagers enthusiastically surround Earl Longli, Xu was a little surprised.

When he was in Bangta City before, Earl Summer can be regarded as a close friend to the people, but he has never been like Earl Longli, able to let ordinary civilians and him have such a pressureless contact and dialogue, as if they were old friends. .

Earl Longli also had a smile on his face, and greeted everyone very intimately. He also reached out and hugged the child who was asking him for sweets. He greeted Xu Yi and asked him to go to his house for dinner. The old farmer walked to his house.

Xu Yi followed and walked towards the village. Every time he passed a house, someone would greet Earl Longli enthusiastically.

Until he came to the old farmer’s house, Earl Longli put down the child, stuffed him with a candy, then patted him on the ass, and drove the child back to his home. This was when he invited Xu Yi like a master. Come in.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Yi immediately felt a suffocating heat mixed with all kinds of strange smells hitting his face, and he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The old farmer who was walking in the front seemed to have guessed that Xu Ye would react to the smell. He turned around and rushed to Xu Ye and smiled embarrassedly: “This distinguished guest may not be able to stand the smell in the house, but there is no way. Only then, please bear with me.”

Count Longli on the side also explained: “The winter is too cold. In order to keep the house warm, this is a necessary method.”

Xu Yi looked inside the house and found that there was a stove in the middle of this small house, which was about less than 20 square meters. At this time, there were a few pieces of wood burning on the stove, and at the same time, it brought out the slightest blue smoke. It makes the whole house seem a little smoky.

It was strange to be mixed with the smell of not knowing what was being cooked in the iron pot on the stove.

In the corner of the house, there is a dilapidated bed, covered with a thin bedding of black lacquer that can hardly see the original color.

Two children under ten years old, wrapped in bedding, waited with their round eyes to look at the two guests who suddenly entered the house. After a while, the two children rushed out of the bed together and rushed directly to Longli. The earl screamed happily in his arms.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi smiled to the old farmer who was still apologetic: “Don’t worry, the lord of the city can bear it, of course I am fine.”

The old farmer smiled honestly and walked out from the back door of the house, seeming to shout at someone.

After a while, the old peasant and a peasant woman walked into the house again and began to get busy around the stove.

At this time Earl Longli had already got together with the two children, sat down by the stove with a smile, and then greeted Xu Yi.

“Come on, President Xu, sit down. Old Hal’s stewed deer leg is a rare delicacy, and I don’t eat it many times. You are lucky, you can eat it today.”

Hearing Count Longli’s praise, the old farmer known as Old Hal narrowed his eyes and smiled, and kept adding various materials that Xu Yi could not recognize into the pot with his hands and feet.

Until the old Hal finally stewed the horned deer legs and put a bowl of soup with his hands in front of Xu Yi, Xu Yi still felt that today’s experience was a little weird.

Originally, he thought that Earl Longli deliberately left himself to stay for the day, and there would be something special to discuss with him, but he didn’t expect that he would just walk around the city of Batlu with Xu Yi yesterday, but said nothing.

Early this morning, he unexpectedly brought him to this ordinary village outside the city, and now he is led into the home of this ordinary poor peasant, to taste the old peasant hunting and hunting by himself. Horned deer coming.

“Earl Longli, has he made up his mind or is he still hesitating?” Xu Yi wondered in his heart, but on the surface, he thanked Old Hal, took the soup bowl, and took a breath. Take a sip.

A scent burst instantly in his mouth, making Xu Yi involuntarily give Old Harby a thumb.

“It’s delicious! No wonder the Lord of the City brought me here in particular, it turned out to be greedy!”

Receiving Xu Yi’s unbridled compliment, Old Hal smiled so that his eyes were narrowed into two seams. He turned around and didn’t know where he was. He took out a bag that seemed to be made of sheepskin, took a bowl, and opened the sheepskin bag. As soon as the stopper was poured, the aroma of wine suddenly overflowed, but the inside was filled with fine wine.

“Come on, take a bite of venison and a sip of wine, that is the best enjoyment.” After Earl Longli arrived here, he seemed to have changed himself, without seeing any aristocratic demeanor, and took it from Old Hal. After the wine bowl, he held it up and made a toast to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi touched the bowl with him, took a sip, and found that although the taste of this wine is not as good as the wine of Saatchi Manor, nor as pure as the wine produced by the Dwarf Winery, it is still quite good.

So four adults and two children surrounded the stove, and even the children sipped the wine, ate venison and deer soup, and soon ate a large pot of venison. It was even the bottom of the pot. I haven’t let go of any soup.

After the meal was full, Earl Longli rested for a while and greeted Xu Yi again.

“Let’s go, President Xu, in this kind of weather, after a full meal, you should go to the top to make a good bubble. It is definitely a good enjoyment.”

Xu Yi was still puzzled in his heart, but did not intend to ask further.

Today Earl Longley seems to be planning to not say anything until the last minute. Of course, he also waited patiently without urging him.

If Earl Longli’s mind is the same as he guessed, then this matter is indeed a very difficult decision for Earl Longli, and it is normal for him to be hesitant.

After leaving Old Hal’s house, Earl Longli did not immediately walk up the mountain. Instead, he returned to the carriage and took out two packages, threw one to Xu Yi, carried the other one on his back, and led the way to a hill outside the village. Go.

It’s good to take a few steps after a meal, but it’s a bit hard to run straight up the mountain.

Xu Yi’s physical strength has never been good. Under these conditions, after climbing a section of the mountain, he was even more panting, causing Count Longli to laugh.

“President Xu, I heard that you are a magician. Are all magicians as physically weak as you?”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes, but was unable to refute.

At the very least, he knew many magicians so far, and he really hadn’t seen any magician with particularly good physical strength.

Fortunately, the mountain was not high, and before reaching the top of the mountain, Earl Longli stopped and took Xu Yi down a path on the mountainside.

After walking for a while, there was a splash of water in front, and a thick fog filled with water vapor drifted from the front.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Yi was surprised.

This way, how does it look so much like the thing he would occasionally experience when he was on earth?

After walking for a while, the water vapor became stronger, but you can still clearly see that a pool of hundreds of square meters appeared on the mountainside in front.

The water in the pool obviously has a considerable temperature, and in this cold weather, it exudes a strong heat, immersing the entire pool around it like a fairyland.

Yes, this is actually a hot spring!

Looking at Xu Yi who was a little startled, Earl Longli laughed and said to Xu Yi: “Chairman Xu, you are from the south. This should be the first time you have seen our specialty hot springs here?”

Xu Yi wanted to say that I had experienced this stuff many times before on Earth, but he nodded in recognition.

“Since it’s the first time here, you must have a good experience. I can tell you that in this kind of weather, a bath in the hot spring is simply the greatest enjoyment.”

After dropping this sentence, Earl Longli was not at all polite and did not appear to be taboo at all. He skillfully took off his clothes and went straight into the hot spring pool.

Seeing Earl Longli still beckoning to himself in the hot spring, Xu Yi shook his head helplessly, took off his clothes quickly, and got in.

I have to say that in this cold weather, it is a very good experience to soak in this natural hot spring and enjoy the distant scenery from above.

However, because of Earl Longli’s intention to bring himself here, Xu Yi couldn’t enjoy it easily.

The two chatted for a while while soaking in the hot springs.

After a while, Earl Longley sighed suddenly: “Although Old Hal and the others are right next to this natural enjoyment, they have to worry about how to eat their food every day. They are not in the mood to consider this enjoyment. Sympathy. Chairman Xu, what do you think?”

Xu Yi retracted his gaze to look at the village at the foot of the mountain and turned to look at Earl Longli.

This guy has been selling for a day, is he finally getting to the point?
