As soon as he saw Xu Yi walking into the living room, Viscount Leslie showed him a bright smile.
"Xu Yi, congratulations on officially becoming a fifth-level magician."
Xu Yi was immediately surprised: "How did you know so quickly?"
Although Xu Yi did not doubt the power of the Stark family behind Viscount Leslie in Anvilmar City, it was still a bit too much for Viscount Leslie to come after hearing the news not long after he had finished the fifth-level assessment. Amazing.
"A person who has never participated in the Magician's Guild assessment actually passed the Level 5 assessment directly for the first time. If I didn't know about such a major news, I would simply stop hanging out in Anvilmar City in the future." Viscount Slee replied with a hint of arrogance.
"Oh? So it turns out that it is such a rare thing for me to pass the fifth-level magician examination?" Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Of course. You have to know that even many guys who used to dismiss you have to pay special attention to you because of this news."
Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "Sir Viscount, although it can't be said that there are fifth-level magicians everywhere, they are definitely not pitiful, right? I think there are definitely close to a thousand in our Lampali Kingdom alone. As a fifth-level magician, what's so special about me? In comparison, I think the magic machine and I should be more eye-catching. What's more, I was summoned by His Majesty the King two days ago because of the farm magic machine. It should get more people’s attention.”
Viscount Leslie shook his head: "You don't understand the mentality of some people. They only think that you are a small businessman who invented a few novel gadgets, and then aroused His Majesty the King's interest, so you were summoned. . This group of people have no idea about the role of farmland magic machinery and its significant impact. Compared with this, a highly talented magician is what they are most concerned about."
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Among these people, do you not include your father, Lord Viscount, Duke Stark?"
Viscount Leslie glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully: "Although my father can see more clearly than those guys. But Xu Yi... is not enough."
"Is it because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I don't have enough influence, so we still can't get into his eyes?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Viscount Leslie nodded slightly: "That's basically what I mean. Although my father has become somewhat interested in you because of His Majesty the King's summons to you, this is far from enough to attract his attention and attention. So. Said..." Viscount Leslie spread his hands and said with some helplessness and regret: "I'm sorry, although I have tried my best, my father still has no intention of seeing you."
Xu Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to apologize, Lord Viscount. I know very well that with my current identity and status, it is simply impossible to get the Duke's attention and attention. It's okay. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I There is still a lot of room for development, and there should be a chance to meet the Duke in the future. "
"You have always been so confident." Viscount Leslie smiled.
"This is one of my strengths." Xu Yi accepted the praise unceremoniously, and then asked: "But Mr. Viscount, I'm very surprised. Why hasn't Hainas come to see me for so many days? Could it be that he hasn't come to see me for so many days? As soon as he returns to Anvilmar City, will he not recognize his old friends in Bonta City?"
Viscount Leslie suddenly laughed: "You finally couldn't help but ask. Let me tell you. According to the news I just received yesterday, this guy Heiners was directly grounded as soon as he returned home. Yue is not allowed to go out, so no matter how much he wants to come to see you, it is impossible. "
"No foot ban?" Xu Yi was stunned. "Why?"
"Of course it's to punish him for staying in Bangta City for too long. He even missed the stipulated time to go home."
Xu Yi was speechless: "He is not a child, why would he be punished for this?"
Viscount Leslie shrugged: "No way, that's just how their family is."
"No wonder Heinas had such a strange expression when he mentioned his father before."
After chatting a few more interesting things about Heiners, Viscount Leslie took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Yi.
"I will stay in Anvilmar for a while longer. You will go back tomorrow, so please help me take this letter back to Brunei."
After Xu Yi took the letter, Viscount Leslie handed him a thick paper bag. I don't know what's inside.
"They are some contract documents, also given to Brunei." Viscount Leslie pondered for a moment and then explained: "I may stay in Anvilmar City for a longer period of time this time. If something happens, you You can discuss it directly with Brunei.”
Xu Yi frowned: "Your Majesty, Lord Viscount, please forgive me. Although Brunei's housekeeper is very loyal to you, he is very strange and not as flexible as you. If it is an ordinary thing, it will be fine, but if it is something special, Things, for example, the Chamber of Commerce needs to take some major measures. I'm worried... Well, I'm sorry to be blunt, I'm worried that he will delay things."
Viscount Leslie couldn't help laughing; "You really still have opinions on Brunei. Don't worry, I have said before that I will not participate in the development decisions of the Chamber of Commerce, so you can do whatever you want. As for the matters in the territory, I have explained them in this letter, and I promise that I will not disappoint you.”|
Xu Yi then smiled and put the letter and paper bag away: "This puts me at ease. Lord Viscount, you are indeed wise enough and have made the arrangements properly."
Viscount Leslie smiled and cursed, left his seat and stood up: "Okay, that's it. I have some things to do tomorrow, so I won't see you off when you leave."
Xu Yi shook his head: "You're not a little girl, why are you so injured that we can't leave her without death?"
Viscount Leslie laughed and walked out the door.
Just as he stepped out of the living room door, Viscount Leslie suddenly paused. After waiting for a while, he slowly turned to look at Xu Yi. The expression on his face became very complicated, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said softly: "Xu Yi, regarding that incident in the palace, I should actually say sorry to you."
Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie in surprise. Countless thoughts ran through his mind, and finally turned into a smile: "Master Viscount, you are serious. In fact, Viscount Harvey is right. As a chess piece, you must have chess pieces." Consciously. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Viscount Leslie looked at Xu Yi in astonishment, with uncontrollable shock in his eyes.
After a while, the expression on Viscount Leslie's face returned to calmness and he nodded to Xu Yi. But he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Watching his back disappear around the corner, Xu Yi touched his face and showed a self-deprecating smile.
"In fact, if there is no other way, who would like to be a chess piece?"

Two days later, Xu Yi returned to Bangta City again after more than ten days of absence.
This time he was still not walking alone, but compared to when he left Bangta City, the appearance of the people traveling with him had changed drastically.
When he left, he was accompanied by Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes, but when he came back, these two guys stayed in Anvilmar City. Those who came back with Xu Yi were, in addition to Sancheli whom Xu Yi picked up on the road, there were also more than a dozen low-level magicians who decided to come to Bangta City to see the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after his many temptations, including Ai. Irvine, Rooney and Bob.
The highest level of these magicians is only level two. And the youngest among them, Rooney, is already nineteen years old, and the oldest, Isaac Fowler, is even forty-seven years old this year.
If the three Erwins are still young and still have some hope of becoming powerful magicians, then someone like Isaac Fowler, who is already so old but is still only at the level of a second-level magician, can only I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a powerful magician.
Therefore, when Xu Yi lobbied them, he could easily persuade them by simply mentioning his salary.
Except for these people who will become employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce without any accident. There is also a very special character traveling with Xu Yi.
"Miss Sevigny, have you prepared a place to stay during this time?" Xu Yi looked at Sevigny sitting opposite and asked with a smile: "If not, maybe I can find a suitable place for you."
Sevigny was still wearing the uniform of the Department of Agriculture at this time, and there was no makeup on his face. At first glance, he could not be called glamorous at all. But if you take a second look, you will be attracted by her intellectual temperament that is hard to see in women from Sainz continent.
Hearing Xu Yi's question, Sevini showed a gentle smile and shook his head: "Thank you, President Xu, for your kindness. But I will go to see Earl Satsuma in a while. I want to have a question about the residence. Earl Satsuma should have some questions." I don’t need you, President, to worry about the corresponding arrangements.”
Xu Yi nodded lightly: "The arrangements of the city lord are of course much better than mine. Then Miss Sevini, how do you... plan to inspect our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
In accordance with the instructions of His Majesty the King, Sevigny is on behalf of His Majesty the King and the Department of Agriculture to inspect and supervise the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to ensure that there will be no quality problems in the farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and provided to the Department of Agriculture. At the same time, We will also examine the farmland transformation plan that has been carried out in Bangta City, and do some research on the farmer support plan implemented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and strive to implement this plan throughout the kingdom.
According to this work arrangement, Sevini will stay in Bangta City at least until next spring after harvest and planting.
It’s now December and we’re still about five months away from next year’s spring planting.
Xu Yi felt a little awkward when he thought that Sevini would stay in Bangta City for such a long time and often inspect the work of the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of His Majesty the King.
But now the Agriculture Department represented by His Majesty the King is the largest customer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In line with the purpose of customers being God, Xu Yi not only cannot show any dissatisfaction, but also has to try his best to show his enthusiasm and welcome.
"President Xu, you are serious. I am not here to inspect your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but I am here to observe with a learning attitude." Sevini said with a smile. "Actually, I'm very curious about President Xu and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce you founded. President Xu, why did you think of researching these magic machines?"
Xu Yi paused and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Sevigny, this is a long story."
Sevini continued to smile: "It doesn't matter. We will spend a lot of time together. I am happy to hear President Xu slowly tell me these things."
The carriage happened to have stopped at this time. Xu Yi opened the curtain and took a look. He found that the carriage had arrived at the door of the city lord's palace, so he jumped out of the carriage and reached out to help Sevini down.
"If you really want to hear it, I can tell you slowly in the future." Xu Yi smiled. "As for the tiring journey today, I hope you'll enjoy a beautiful dream first."
"Thank you for your blessing." Sevini gave Xu Yi a standard noble lady's gift, and then walked towards the gate of the city lord's palace.
Earl Satsuma had already received the news and was waiting at the door. When he saw Sevigny approaching, he immediately greeted him with a big smile.
Seeing the exaggerated smile on Count Satsuma's face, Xu Yi felt a little confused.
Even if Sevigny came to Bangta City for inspection on behalf of the Agriculture Department, Count Satsuma wouldn't be so polite, right
However, this thought only circulated in Xu Yi's head, and was immediately thrown out of his mind.
After getting on the carriage again, he gave instructions to the driver, and the convoy immediately turned to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce outside the city.
