In December, the north of the kingdom is naturally much colder than Bangta City, which stretches out to the south. ""
Especially when the cool breeze blows by the river, it makes people feel a chill that penetrates the heart.
Even though Xu Yi had been prepared and put on thick warm clothes in advance, he still couldn't withstand the cold outside. He had to mobilize a bit of magic power to maintain a small fire magic circle at the feet of himself and Earl Satsuma. Keep the temperature around your body at an acceptable level.
Feeling the surrounding temperature rising rapidly, Earl Satsuma glanced at the magic circle under Xu Yi's feet that was emitting red light.
Even if Count Satsuma is not a magician, he can still see how powerful the magic level is to maintain such a magic circle so accurately.
"Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your magic power seems to have improved a lot. Before you came here, you must have participated in the qualification examination of the Magician Guild in Anvilmar City, right? How was it? What level are you at now? A magician?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I just passed the eighth-level magician assessment, and I'm not very powerful yet."
"Isn't an eighth-level magician strong enough?" Count Satsuma couldn't help but shook his head. "Then what kind of magician do you think is powerful?"
"Personally, I actually think that no matter how strong a magician is, he cannot be called powerful, because after all, he is just a person." Xu Yidao. "Compared to individual power, I always believe that it is more powerful to enhance the overall power through industrial production."
Earl Satsuma suddenly laughed: "You are really a businessman, not a magician. You have this idea because you have not seen how powerful a truly powerful magician is. If you had seen With the power of a magister or even a great magister, I think your mind will definitely change."
"Oh? Lord City Lord. Have you seen the power of the Magister and the Grand Magister?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
Earl Satsuma looked to the east. He looked a little sad.
"Back then, I witnessed a battle between the Kandra Empire and the Malo Empire, in which four magisters participated. In that battle, as long as the magisters took action, it would trigger a powerful enough to destroy the world. The forbidden magic of the earth can even make the entire sky change color and the ground shake. Even if they are facing thousands of soldiers, for these powerful magisters, it is just a matter of waving their hands. I still feel scared when I think of that situation.”
"Is the Magister so powerful?" Xu Yixia thought for a moment about the situation described by Earl Satsuma, thinking that if the Magister could wipe out thousands of soldiers with just a few moves, then no wonder he could be defeated by all the countries and people on the Sion continent. people worshiped. "What about the Great Mage? Isn't he ridiculously powerful?"
"I'm not lucky enough to witness the Grand Magister's actions. Besides, there hasn't been a Grand Magister on the Sainz continent for many years." Earl Satsuma shook his head. "However, judging from the legendary records, the strength of the Grand Magister is several times stronger than that of the Magister. It is said that the Grand Magister can even directly level a city with just one move."
Xu Yi looked back at Sewell City in the distance, thinking that Sewell City could already be regarded as one of the largest cities in the north of the Lampali Kingdom, but compared to the real cities on earth, it was smaller in scale. It is countless times smaller, with a radius of less than ten square kilometers.
And the most terrifying weapon on earth is the nuclear bomb. It can even destroy a large city on Earth with one shot.
In comparison, the Grand Mage is powerful. But in terms of destructive power, it is still far inferior to nuclear bombs.
Seeing that Xu Yi's face seemed a little disapproving, Earl Satsuma was a little puzzled.
It is said that Xu Yi himself is a very talented magician, and now he has become an eighth-level magician. He can also be regarded as a high-level magician in the magician circle, but why does he show such a lack of confidence in the power of magic? Don't you care, or even have some disdain
However, this was not an issue that Earl Satsuma was concerned about. Seeing that Xu Yi was not particularly interested in this topic, he changed the subject and started discussing business with Xu Yi.
"Have you seen this piece of land by the river?" Earl Satsuma pointed to a wide flat land by the river in front of the two of them, stretched out his arm and drew a big circle. "The entire place here is specially set aside by me for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a production base. What do you think?"
Xu Yi glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. Lord City Lord, you have had experience in this area in Bangta City before. The place you chose for us is of course very suitable. I have no objection. But there is still a small problem..."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
“You see, it’s so cold here in Sewell City that the Sera River will freeze completely as soon as winter comes. Even if the production base is placed next to the river, I’m afraid we won’t be able to use this river. This is really a waste. "
"It can't be helped. This is the north after all. It has a different climate from the south like Bangta City, and the natural conditions are incomparable." Earl Satsuma said helplessly. "However, the factory production of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is basically not affected by the climate, so there should be no problem."
"Well, it's generally not affected. It's just that some small details need to be dealt with. I have to discuss it with the staff here."
Xu Yizhen was about to wave to the evaluators of the Chamber of Commerce who were in charge of on-site investigation in this open space at this time, but Kanby strode over from a distance.
"President, I found a strange thing. Take a look." Canby nodded to Earl Satsuma and handed it to Xu Yi. In this cold weather, it actually exuded some heat and was completely transparent, but the middle was stained with blood. A red crystal-like object.
After Xu Yi took it over, he found that the lens actually felt a little soft in the hand, as if it were a lump of jelly instead of a real crystal. The surface was warm and felt very comfortable in his hand.
"This is our specialty ooze magic crystal here. This piece is red. It should be a crystal that mainly contains fire magic power." Earl Satsuma took a look at it and explained.
"This thing is actually a magic crystal?" Xu Yi glanced at the red slime-like lens in his hand in surprise. The magic power in the body moves slightly. Checked it carefully. Sure enough, the vibration of magic power was found from this lens, and the reaction to the fire magic element was the strongest.
It's just that the magic content in this piece of ooze magic crystal is very low. Not only is it far from being compared with the standard magic crystal that Evita recently studied after physical examination, it is even less than the ordinary magic power that can be seen everywhere on the market today. crystal.
"Well, it's because the magic power in this thing is too weak, so no one is willing to mine it. Otherwise, this thing can be seen everywhere outside Sewell City, and Sewell City would have made a fortune just by selling this. Where can it be used? We need to specially invite your new flying merchant guild here," Count Satsuma said.
Xu Yi played with the slime magic crystal in his hand, thought about it, and motioned Canby and Earl Satsuma to stay away from him, and then a large amount of magic power poured into his body.
"boom-"
A group of strong flames shot into the sky, rising several meters high in an instant, and actually enveloped Xu Yi's entire body.
Canby and Earl Satsuma on the side were startled. Just as they were about to call someone, they saw the flames suddenly disappear, and Xu Yi reappeared intact.
"Huh..." Canby let out a long breath. "President, you scared me to death."
Earl Satsuma also frowned and said: "It is too dangerous to do magic experiments. You should pay more attention."
Xu Yi laughed: "There is nothing to worry about. I am a magician after all. How could I do such a stupid thing as playing with fire? But this ooze magic crystal... is really interesting."
Earl Satsuma and Canby looked at Xu Yi's palm, only to find that the ooze magic crystal had disappeared, leaving only a dark brown powder in Xu Yi's palm, which seemed to be the impurities left by the ooze magic crystal. .
"Lord City Lord, besides this fire-type ooze magic crystal that is particularly sensitive to fire-type magic elements, are there other types?" Xu Yi asked.
"Last time I heard from my subordinates that there is one, but I don't know the details." Earl Satsuma shook his head.
"Okay, Canby, go and tell them to collect some of these ooze magic crystals during their investigation. Try to bring back some of them in whatever shape and color they want. I want to bring them back to do related experiments." ”
Seeing Canby follow the order and leave, Earl Satsuma asked curiously: "What? Do you think this thing will be useful?"
"I can't draw a conclusion yet, but judging from the experiment just now, I think this thing may be of some use." Xu Yi nodded.
"Oh? It would be great if it really works." Earl Satsuma said happily. "These things are everywhere here. If they can be valuable, it will be equivalent to opening up a rich source of wealth for Sewell City, which will be of great benefit to the development of the entire city."
Xu Yi laughed loudly: "Lord City Lord, are you addicted to developing the city now? If you are not satisfied in Bangta City, you will come to Sewell City to satisfy your addiction?"
Earl Satsuma didn't look like he was joking, and sighed softly: "If he can change the lives of the people under his rule and let them all live a good life, which city lord would not be willing to do this?"
Xu Yi fell silent because he thought of Count Longli, the lord of Batru City whom he met before.
Although their political stances are different, because they have the same idea as Count Satsuma, Count Longli is trying hard to bear the reputation of a traitor, but he also wants to invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter Batru City for investment and construction, and he also offers to fully cooperate.
What he does is not to hope to change the poverty situation in Batru City so that the people below can live a better life.
"I have had contact with this young Longli who just took over the title last year. It can be seen that he is a thoughtful person, different from his father." Hearing Xu Yi mention this matter, Earl Satsuma nodded and expressed his approval. Appreciation from Lord Longley. "If he can really do this, it will be a good thing for Batru City. But this matter... is not something he can do if he wants to. It also depends on how he handles the relationship with Prince Eric. relationship between them.”
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I'm worried about."
Earl Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi: "The same goes for you. If you want to cooperate with Batru City, you'd better communicate with Her Royal Highness."
Xu Yi nodded: "This is natural." (To be continued...)u
