After the two briefly discussed some issues related to the magic circle of the magic airship, Evita suddenly asked: "By the way, Akali, your report has been completed. Are you ready to go home in the next two days?"
Akalai was startled and then reacted.
"Yes. In addition to handing in a report, I also want to ask you when you plan to go back? Do you want to go with me? I want to leave tomorrow."
"I haven't made any plans yet." Evita shook her head. "But I definitely won't be able to leave tomorrow. The Magic Research Institute still has a lot of work to do, and this magic airship is currently in the most critical stage of development. I'm afraid that if I go back to celebrate the New Year, I will forget something if I come back again."
"How could it be?" Akali said immediately: "We study these things every day, how could we forget about them in less than a month just for the New Year? You are too underestimated of yourself?"
"Anyway... Although the Chamber of Commerce has a long holiday this time, I don't plan to leave so early. Maybe... I won't go back at all."
"Ah? You're not going back?" Akali was stunned. "This is the New Year! You don't plan to go home even if you don't even read a novel? Your parents will definitely be angry if they find out."
Evita smiled and said: "I just said I didn't go back, but I didn't say I didn't plan to spend the New Year with my parents."
Akali was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Because I am considering whether to take them from my hometown to Bonta City to spend the New Year." Evita replied. "It's very cold in the north in the winter, and the conditions at home are not as good as here. Even with magic air conditioning, it's still not as comfortable as here in Bangta City. Let them celebrate the New Year in their hometown. It's better to bring them over."
"Well... you don't have many relatives in your family except your parents. This is a good idea." Akali thought for a while and said sadly: "But I have no choice. There are a lot of relatives in my hometown, including my parents. If I just take my parents over, they won’t do it.”
Evita looked at the frustrated Akali, pondered for a moment, and asked seriously: "In addition to bringing my parents over for the New Year this time, I actually plan to let them settle in Bangta City. Akali, you Don’t you have this idea?”
"Settling?" Akali was startled, rolled her eyes, and nodded: "That's right. But as I said just now, your family doesn't have many relatives in your hometown. It doesn't matter whether you let your parents come here to celebrate the New Year or settle down. Okay, it’s not a big problem. That’s not the case with our family.”
"But have you ever considered a problem?" Evita looked worried.
"what is the problem?"
"Have you forgotten? Last time we went to see Steele, we heard the president say that His Royal Highness Prince Eric is likely to lead the Zhenbei Army to attack the Kingdom of Sark tomorrow spring?" Evita asked .
Akali looked confused: "What does this have to do with us? This is something that only big figures like Prince Eric and Princess Sevigny should consider. What are you worried about? Besides, this has nothing to do with you. What does it matter?"
"Of course it does matter." Evita looked serious. There was no hint of joking at all. "If His Highness the Prince wants to attack the Sak Kingdom, it will be okay if the battle goes well. But if the battle does not go well and the Sak Kingdom counterattacks, the north of the kingdom will probably become very unsafe. I want to bring my parents to the state. I came to settle here in Tacheng because I was worried about this outcome.”
"How can this be..." Akali was about to retort, but suddenly she frowned, and a trace of worry appeared on her face. "Yes, I heard from the president that this time, in order to exclude our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, His Highness did not order any military magic machinery from our Chamber of Commerce, so the Zhenbei Army's combat effectiveness is not that strong. What if they really lose? …”
"Now you understand why I want to consider this?" Evita asked, seeing the look on Akali's face. "And... In a letter my father sent me a few days ago, my father said that Luolun City and several cities around Luolun City are increasing taxes and requiring each civilian household to hand over a minimum of ten gold coins in cash or various taxes. We are raising supplies to use as weapons for the Zhenbei Army. Now the civilians in several cities are complaining.”
"His Royal Highness wants to fight a war, why should we civilians pay for it?"
Akali scolded angrily, but calmed down after a moment, pondered for a moment, and nodded heavily.
"I understand, this matter does need to be taken seriously. Evita, you are right. If the Zhenbei Army loses, our hometown will be really dangerous if it is close to the northern border. No, I will rush there immediately tomorrow Go back and convince your parents and relatives to move out. Anyway, now that I have made a lot of money, it shouldn’t be a problem to help them move out.”
"Well, it's best to let them move to Bangta City." Evita nodded. "Bangta City is developing so well now, and we are all successful in our careers here. At least the money we earn is enough to support our family's expenses. Moreover, there are so many job opportunities in Bangta City, and they will definitely be able to do so after they come here. No matter how you look at it, finding a job is better than staying in your hometown.”
"Yes, I would rather be taxed by Her Majesty the Queen than exploited like this by Prince Eric!" Akali scolded Prince Eric angrily and pointed the report in her hand towards Evita. A stuffed hand. "I can't wait any longer. I'm going to pack my things now and catch the afternoon bus home! Evita, I haven't checked this report yet. Please help me take a look. Please."
Seeing Akali make an explanation, she turned around and trotted towards her residence. Evita laughed and shook her head, put the report away, and pressed the remote control in her hand. The magic airship test machine started to operate steadily. It floated up and stopped at about the height of her chest. Then under her control, it floated forward with her towards the Magic Research Institute in the distance.

Steele touched his extremely bulging belly, glanced out the window, and found that the great magician Camilla was still standing in the courtyard, staring blankly at the medium-sized magic bus parked in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Grandpa is getting older, and he is acting more and more like a child, and he even gets angry with a medium-sized magic bus.
At the beginning of the month. The great magician Camilla didn't know whether she was stimulated or something. I suddenly decided that I wanted to take a driving license test.
Although Xu Yi and Steele were a little surprised. But since he made this request, the two of them would certainly not object.
But what the two of them did not expect was that the four-star great magician, who was extremely powerful in magic, had no talent at all in driving a magic motorcycle. It took him half a month to learn even the most basic skills. Couldn't pass the driving test.
In anger, Camilla the Great Magician simply purchased a medium-sized magic bus from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in his private name and placed it in Luo Xing Manor. Come and practice whenever you have free time.
But the result is still disastrous, as evidenced by the three small trees that are now disconnected from the courtyard of Falling Star Manor.
If it weren't for the powerful magic of Camilla, the great magician, who often relied on powerful magic to stop the out-of-control medium-sized magic bus, the current loss of Falling Star Manor would be more than just three broken trees. .
Steele's eyes passed over the fresh fractures of the three small trees, then he raised his head and glanced at the sky, and shouted to the great magician Camilla: "Grandpa, it might snow, let's get there first today. here?"
Archmage Camilla looked back at Steele, and then turned to look at the medium-sized magic bus, unwilling to give up. But he had no choice but to sigh in the end. Come towards the house.
Seeing his appearance, Steele finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
From the time she could remember, Grandpa seemed to be omnipotent. Everyone who met him treated him with respect, and even Steele was extremely popular.
This has led Steele to admire the great magician Camilla since he was a child, but he never thought that one day he would be like this due to something.
Steele was even more amused when he thought that the medium-sized magic bus that stumped him was invented by his husband Xu Yi. Even the driver's license and the test for obtaining the driver's license were established by Xu Yi.
Just as he was about to stand up and welcome the great magician Camilla into the house, Steele caught a glimpse of a carriage speeding over from the newly built concrete road outside the manor.
Glancing at the sign on the carriage, Steele immediately understood. He stood up and said to the great magician Camilla: "Grandpa, I'm afraid I have to go out. You will have dinner here at noon. Vivian and Yanis will be back, and they will prepare lunch with Liz. If you want to eat, just tell Liz. "
Liz on the side quickly agreed and looked at the great magician Camilla, waiting for his instructions.
Archmage Camilla waved her hand and asked Steele doubtfully: "What are you doing out at this time? It's going to snow soon, so you'd better stay home and have a good rest. You have to protect yourself at this time. , There can’t be any mistakes.”
"There are some tasks that need to be handled, and I have to do it myself, otherwise it won't work."
After Steele answered, the carriage drove in from the gate of the manor and stopped all the way until it came to the open space in front of the hall in the manor.
The carriage door opened, and Mia, the vice president of the Potter Chamber of Commerce and the wife of President Potter, jumped out and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Madam, everything is ready and waiting for you to come over."
Mia's expression when facing Steele was extremely humble, almost like a subordinate or servant. When she came to Steele, she unceremoniously snatched Steele's arm from Liz's hand. Be careful. Supported by the ground.
Steele had met her several times, and each time he was very uncomfortable with her excessive humility, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only smile and nod to her.
"Okay, I'm ready, let's go now." After speaking, Steele turned to the great magician Camilla and said: "Grandpa, I'm going out."
Camilla, the great magician, frowned and shook his head slightly: "You still want to go out in this weather like this. If Xu Yizai were here, he would never allow it."
Steele showed a slightly playful smile and snorted softly: "This is my job, and Xu Yi has agreed to it a long time ago. Even if he is here, he can't oppose me."
Camilla, the great magician, of course knew Steele's character very well. He sighed, waved his hand and said: "Okay, go back early and be safe. By the way, Liz, you also accompany Steele. Go, serve her well on the way, and there won’t be any problems.”
Liz looked at Steele hesitantly.
Steele frowned beautifully: "Grandpa, I'm not a child. I understand what should be done."
The great magician Camilla snorted heavily: "You are different now than usual, don't be willful!"
Seeing that the great magician Camilla seemed really a little angry, Steele could only stick out his tongue slightly and did not dare to refute.
Liz quickly came over and took back the task of supporting Steele from Mia's hands.
Watching the three people get on the carriage and gradually go away, the great magician Camilla snorted softly.
"Xu Yi, this kid, is a little too pampered by Steele. When he comes back, I have to teach him a lesson. I can't just listen to Steele on everything. After all, he is Steele's husband and should be taken care of. Still have to take care of it.”
After looking around, Archmage Camilla waved her hands a little irritably.
"It would be great if Sewell City had a communication circle. I can teach that kid a lesson now."
Thinking of this, the great magician Camilla suddenly froze for a moment. She stood there and thought for a long time. Then she suddenly clapped her hands vigorously, her face beaming with joy, and her eyes sparkling with infinite light.
"That's right! Isn't the communication array also a magic array? It can still be used on magic machines!" (To be continued...)
