After ending their negotiations with the Luersun Kingdom, Xu Yi and Kennard left the Luersun Kingdom at the same time.
Kennard went to the small town of Ampreston in the Principality of Mirando to inspect the construction progress of the new Flying Chamber of Commerce factory there, while Xu Yi followed the planned itinerary and entered the Kingdom of Lampali.
Nearly half a year has passed since the last time he left Bangta City. When Xu Yi returned here this time, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Although from the outside, Bangta City has not changed much compared to when he left, Xu Yi was extremely emotional because of the lack of change.
Thinking back when he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in Bangta City, there would be some new changes in Bangta City almost every day. If they didn't see each other after half a year, they would even become completely different.
And now that Xu Yi has been away for half a year, there has been no change in Bangta City. This shows that Bangta City has actually entered a state of stagnation in the past six months, with no development at all.
This city, which had always seemed vibrant in the past few years, now seemed to have fallen into a dead silence.
Looking at the cracked Luoyu Highway outside the city due to lack of maintenance, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
This road can be regarded as the most important road in Bangta City in the past few years. It is even called the "Road to Wealth" by many people in Bangta City. There are countless vehicles almost every day and every moment. Carriages and magic motorcycles rush back and forth on this road, and countless pedestrians shuttle back and forth on it. However, now, Xu Yi stood beside this road for ten full minutes, but only saw three carriages running over it. Two of them were obviously just the most ordinary old-fashioned people-carrying carriages, and there was only one It's a carriage carrying goods.
After glancing towards the far end of Luoyu Highway connecting Luoyu Valley to the west, Xu Yi turned to look to the east where he could vaguely see the slightly degraded old city of Bangta City. Couldn't help but shook his head.
No matter how closely the city had a close relationship with him before, but now that he has been separated from the city, it is none of his business what the city becomes, and he has no ability or qualification to manage it.
No matter what the Lampali Kingdom does to Bangta City, the consequences will be borne by Bangta City and Lampali Kingdom themselves. Xu Yi didn't need to pay attention.
But for Xu Yi, there are some people he has to pay attention to, and that is the students of Baron Rector Magic Academy.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce set up a special scholarship fund at Baron Rector Magic Academy more than three years ago to support students at the academy and encourage them to continue their studies.
Now more than three years have passed, and two batches of students who initially received help from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Student Fund have graduated ahead of schedule. Most of them eventually chose to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Many of the magicians who are currently responsible for drawing magic circles for various magic machines in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are students of Baron Rector Magic Academy.
Now more than three years have passed, and the group of students who initially received the most help from the scholarship fund happened to graduate this year. Xu Yi made a special trip back to Bangta City this time just to meet these students in person.
The two batches of students who graduated before were all ordinary magic academy students. For Xu Yi, there is not much difference from the magicians recruited by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, this group of students who graduated this year have been under Xu Yi's instructions from the beginning. While learning magic knowledge, they also take into account mechanical theoretical knowledge. At the same time, they have been continuously learning the combination of magic and machinery in the past three years. knowledge.
In the past three years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also created many practical opportunities for these students, so that they already have a considerable theoretical and practical foundation in magic machinery before they graduate from Baron Rector Magic Academy.
This kind of magician is what Xu Yi really values. A magical mechanical engineer with both magical and mechanical knowledge... Of course, he is a candidate.
If they can work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a few years, Xu Yi believes that it won't take long. From this, we can cultivate magical mechanical engineers who can really come in handy.
Xu Yi's actions at Baron Rector's Magic Academy went smoothly.
Baron Riktor Magic Academy has been receiving funding injections from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce over the years. Even though the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has left the Lampali Kingdom in the past year or so, there has never been a shortage of funds, so no matter what, Baron Riktor Magic Academy I have always supported Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce is now coming to reap the fruits of what they have sown before, and Baron Rector Magic Academy is only filled with joy. There was no thought of rejection.
And those students were even more excited, and could even be said to be impatient.
They received funding from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce for three years. Regardless of emotions or the constraints of the original agreement, it was basically determined that he would work in the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce after graduation.
Moreover, while they were learning magic in the past three years, they also learned a lot of mechanical engineering knowledge. This makes them realize that the most suitable job for them is to work in magic machinery.
And when it comes to magic machinery, which chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent can compare with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has high salary, good benefits, and various benefits. Being able to work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a dream for many people.
Now that they have the opportunity to directly choose to enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no student will even think of refusing.
As a result, almost all students who had received financial aid from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund welcomed Xu Yi's arrival.
Originally, the graduation ceremony of college students was occasionally a little sad, and there were always some sentimental little girls who would cry because of the separation of their classmates. However, this year's graduation ceremony of Baron Rictor Magic Academy was a scene of joy and reconciliation. , very different from previous years.
However... this peaceful atmosphere was ruined by a group of heavily armed Bangta City guards who suddenly broke into the college.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that it was Chopinna, the commander of the Bonta City Guards, who ran to the front and led the city guards to rush in, Feldinger, the dean of Baron Rector's Magic Academy, was shocked.
What happened that made the city guard commander personally take action
However, Chopin completely ignored Fuerdinger's question. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Xu Yi, who was surrounded by a pair of students. With a wave of his hand, the city guards behind him immediately swarmed up, pushed all the surrounding students away, and surrounded Xu Yi in the middle.
Looking at the surrounding city guards, they were on tight alert and full of hostility. Everyone was stunned.
Xu Yi was even more confused. He glanced at Chopin in surprise and asked, "Commander Chopin, what are you doing? Did I commit something?"
Although Xinfei merchants were forced to leave the Lampali Kingdom by the Magic Industry Administration, this was a unilateral problem of the Magic Industry Administration. Neither Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nor Xu Yi could find fault. Come.
What's more, the officials of the Lampali Kingdom are not willing to make things so tense. So Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left the Lampali Kingdom peacefully.
From the official side of the Lampali Kingdom, Xu Yi is still a subject of the Lampali Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still the chamber of commerce of the Lampali Kingdom.
Xu Yi wanted to return to the Lampali Kingdom completely at will. He had come back several times before without any problems.
Why did this suddenly happen today
Chopin looked serious. He shouted to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, I advise you not to resist and surrender. Otherwise, we have the right to kill you on the spot!"...
"Kill on the spot?" Xu Yi suddenly laughed, turned to look at the circle of city guards surrounding him, shook his head and said: "I said Commander Chopin, you should know my magic strength, tell me Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
Chopin obviously understood this. So he looked slightly nervous, paused, and shouted again: "Xu Yi. Let me warn you, no matter how strong your magic power is, you are only one person and cannot compete with the entire Lampali Kingdom. Wise words , just surrender, and maybe you can save your life. If you really dare to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xu Yi shrugged and glanced at the deans, directors, teachers and students of Baron Rector Magic Academy around him. I found that they were just as confused as me.
"I said... Commander Chopin. You keep saying you want to arrest me, but you have to tell me what I have committed, right? It doesn't make sense that you want to arrest someone without any name, right?"
Chopin's face darkened: "Xu Yi, what you have committed is the most serious treason! It was originally considered a heinous crime, but His Majesty the King gave you a special gift and exempted you from the death penalty. As long as you come with us to see the King immediately. Your majesty's side will save your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.
Crime of treason
When did Xu Yi commit treason
Xu Yi was even more confused.
"Am I treason? What country am I treason to?"
"You will naturally know the specific charges when you see His Majesty the King. Now you just need to be arrested obediently." Chopin said sternly: "I warn you again, don't try to resist. Otherwise you will be arrested. It will be directly classified as treason and you will be wanted throughout the kingdom. All the properties of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the kingdom will be directly confiscated by the Kingdom Council, so I advise you to think carefully."
Xu Yi sneered in his heart.
After working on it for a long time, these guys from the Lampali Kingdom even wanted to directly appropriate some of the foundations they had left as fire seeds. This really didn't leave him any room.
Immediately I felt a little strange.
In the past, the official attitude of the Lampali Kingdom towards him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had always been very aggressive. Although they were squeezed out everywhere, they never got things done.
Even starting from the past few months, the official attitude of the Lampali Kingdom towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has significantly softened.
Last month, in two cities, they even took the initiative to propose joint ventures to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build factories.
All these signs indicate that the Lampali Kingdom officials seem to want to restore the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi originally guessed that King Eric's attitude had changed, which led to these changes.
But now this sudden so-called "treason" charge is clearly intended to completely block Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's return to the Lampali Kingdom.
Did King Eric suddenly change his attitude again
Chopin didn't give Xu Yi more time to think. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the city guards surrounding Xu Yi stepped forward one after another.
Looking at this posture, they were obviously planning to restrain Xu Yi directly.
Xu Yi frowned, the magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and he was ready to take action.
It was absolutely impossible to be captured by these city guards obediently. He was not sure about King Eric's current attitude.
Here he can still move forward and retreat freely, but if he really goes to Anvilmar City, there are still enough people in Anvilmar City to restrain him.
But this creates another problem.
It is impossible for the Lampali Kingdom to be completely unaware of his magical power, yet it sent such a small group of city guards to claim to capture him. This was clearly an impossible task.
So what are the Lampali Kingdom thinking
Is it simply to force him out of the Lampali Kingdom
While Xu Yi was running through countless thoughts in his mind, suddenly a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded outside the academy.
A moment later, a neat row of cavalry galloped from the gate of the academy.
Xu Yi was stunned when he saw the face of the leading cavalryman.
"No way? Why is she here?"
