It was already nightfall when Xu Yi left the palace. Novel
I hurried to the place I agreed with Steele to stay, only to find that not only Steele was not there, but also Yanis and others who had come here to stay first were missing.
After asking the servants of this villa, they were told that Mrs. Steele had been waiting for Xu Yi for a long time but no one was there, so she took Freya, who was in high spirits, and Agnes and others out to go shopping.
"Madam said, if they haven't come back after you come back, President, then please go to the newly built Crescent Theater in the west of the city to find them."
"Crescent Theater? What? Is the Xinyue Song and Dance Troupe also performing today?"
After a group of orc girls from the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe returned to the Principality of Standing with Xu Yi, they underwent more than a year of training.
It was not until the situation in the Lampali Kingdom stabilized again that the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe entered the Lampali Kingdom again to perform various performances.
Although more than a year has passed, the popularity of the Crescent Moon Song and Dance Troupe in the Lampali Kingdom has not diminished. As soon as they returned to the Lampali Kingdom, they were highly sought after.
However, the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe has never had any foundation in the Lampali Kingdom, so when performing, most of them can only rent venues, which is very inconvenient.
So Steele decided to invest in building a venue specifically for the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe in Anvilmar City. After Xu Yi proposed, he cooperated with the Kingdom of Lampali and built it with the support of Her Majesty Queen Sevigny. The New Moon Grand Theater is similar to the Grand Theater on Earth.
It is worth mentioning that the total investment in the construction of the Crescent Theater was as high as 600,000 gold coins, but Steele did not receive even a copper coin from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi. It's entirely her own responsibility.
This is in addition to part of the funds accumulated by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce through the previous performances of the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe. A large part also comes from agency fees obtained from workers of other races who obtain labor certificates from the Lampali Kingdom through the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
certainly. These were still not enough, so Steele also obtained a partial loan from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Chimera Chamber of Commerce's loan interest is extremely high, the Crescent Moon Song and Dance Troupe's current performances are full, making the Crescent Chamber of Commerce extremely profitable. According to Steele's estimate, it will only take two years at most to pay off all the loans. loan.
Xu also knew that Steele had a strong character in his heart, so when Steele expressed that he wanted to solve this problem alone. From beginning to end, he never offered to provide financial support to Steele.
"Yes. The New Moon Song and Dance Troupe performs three performances every week, and today happens to be the middle of this month, so the performance will be much bigger than usual." After saying this, the maid showed a trace of regret on her face. "Originally, several of my companions invited me to go see it together last month..."
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile: "What? Did you miss the opportunity because of my sudden visit?"
The maid immediately tensed up and waved her hand quickly: "No, no, no, Mr. President, I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to complain about you. On the contrary, I am very happy that you can come. I knew you were coming. Madam has been preparing for the news half a month in advance. She has been very happy these days. "
Both Steele and Xu Yi are usually very nice to their servants, so this maid would say such things in front of Xu Yi.
If it were another big noble or a big businessman's house, if the servants dared to complain in front of the master, they would definitely not end well.
"Okay, don't be nervous. I didn't misunderstand you complaining. I just misunderstood whether the companion you asked out was a girl or a boy?"
The maid blushed pretty and said, "Of course it's a girl."
"Really?" Xu Yi laughed loudly, shook his head, and did not continue to ask. Instead, he told the maid not to prepare dinner for him alone. He planned to leave the other courtyard and go to the Crescent Theater to find Steele and others. Just solve it casually.
As a result, as soon as he reached the gate of the annex, a sharp brake sound suddenly sounded, and a pure black magic car suddenly stopped in front of the gate of the annex.
The car door opened, and the great magician Esenka stepped out of the car.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, the great magician Aisenka immediately opened his arms and greeted him with a big smile.
Xu Yi hugged him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, you came so quickly. Not long after I arrived, you actually came to the door."
"President Xu, I'm afraid you don't know how much attention you have received?" the great magician Essenka said with a smile. "I dare say that as soon as you entered the city, countless people knew the news. But because you were immediately summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, everyone could only hold back. Apart from me, I'm afraid no one else Like me, I can’t wait to see you as soon as possible after you finish your meeting with Her Majesty the Queen.”
"Oh? Your Majesty the Great Magician, you are so anxious to see me. Do you have something urgent to discuss?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course it's urgent, and it's very urgent." Archmage Aisenka nodded affirmatively, then got closer to Xu Yishao, and whispered to him: "President Xu, I heard that you plan to create a bicycle grand prix series in addition to In addition, are you planning to create a magic car competition?”
Xu Yi was slightly surprised.
He had only mentioned this matter to the great magicians Camilla and Truchi. Unexpectedly, less than half a month later, the great magician Aisenka actually knew about it.
However, Xu Yi felt relieved when he thought that they were both great magicians and might have their own way of contacting each other.
"Yes, I do have this idea, but it is just an idea, and it is still far from being actually held." Xu Yi did not deny it. "At the very least, with the current speed of the Magic Car, there is no competition at all, because it is so slow."
"Is it very slow?" The great magician Esenka showed a knowing smile. "President Xu, if you use the wind magic engine, the speed of the magic car is not very fast. But what if it becomes other magic engines? For example, the fire magic engine that your chamber of commerce is developing?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly.
Although the Great Magician Truchi and the Great Magician Isenka are both great magicians, it is normal for them to have close contact with each other.
However, the research and development of the fire-based magic engine is confidential in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If the great magician Truchi also told the great magician Isenka about this matter. That really makes no sense.
But then I thought about it. Xu Yi felt something was wrong.
No matter how close the personal relationship between the great magician Truki and the great magician Isenka was, he should know the principle of confidentiality. What's more, the great magician Truki has always been prudent, so how could he do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi narrowed his eyebrows and smiled: "As for the fire magic engine, our chamber of commerce has not completely completed the research and development. Although it is certain that the power is much stronger than the wind magic engine, there is no way to confirm the specifics. How's the performance?"
"Really?" The smile on the face of the great magician Aisenka suddenly revealed a hint of mystery and undetectable excitement. "So, President Xu. Are you interested in getting in my car and taking a look?"
"your car?"
Xu Yi looked at the pure black magic car parked at the gate by the great magician Esenka in astonishment. He suddenly remembered that just before he walked out of the door, he heard the roar of the magic engine and the sound of sudden braking outside the door. They all seem to be slightly different from the magic cars produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Didn't the great magician Esenka privately modify this magic car?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly became interested.
For now, all magic cars on the market are produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Due to the complexity of the production of magic cars, other chambers of commerce are unable to truly master the production technology.
Now, although it is impossible for the great magician Esenka to produce a magic car by himself, if he can modify the magic car by himself. That proves that he must have mastered the magic car-related technologies to a high degree.
Xu Yi has never been nervous because other people can master the same magic machine-related technologies as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, he is very happy that other people can also have a deep mastery in this aspect.
He was even looking forward to being apart of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. There are others who can develop newer and better technologies for magical machines.
Because only in this way can other people truly participate in promoting the development of the magic industry, bringing Xu Yi one step closer to his ideal of creating a complete industrial system.
So he looked at the pure black magic car with excitement and expectation, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Regarding Xu Yi's reaction, the great magician Aisenka seemed a little surprised, but then he reacted and invited Xu Yi into the car with a smile.
As soon as he got into the passenger seat, Xu Yi immediately discovered that this magic car was indeed different from the magic car that appeared in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
There is an extra pedal below the main driver's seat, and on the center console, in addition to the buttons that control the magic air conditioner in the car, there are a few more buttons that don't know what they do.
Because of these extra buttons, the overall appearance of the console has also changed.
As for what happened inside, it was impossible to see clearly because it was separated by smooth plastic plates.
Xu Yi turned around and looked at the back of the carriage, but didn't find much difference.
Thinking of how the great magician Aisenka seemed to be full of confidence in this magic car, Xu Yi thought that the biggest difference might be in the core part of the magic car that could not be seen at the moment.
"President Xu, are you seated?" asked the great magician Essenka who was already sitting upright in the driver's seat.
"Well, it's time to start." Xu Yi nodded.
"Okay, let's go!"
The great magician Aisenka reached out and pressed a button on the console, and Xu Yi immediately felt a wave of magic power in the magic car's territory.
Feeling the wind magic element rotating and flowing at high speed below with the fluctuation of magic power, Xu Yi was confused.
Judging from the start-up alone, there is no difference between this magic car and the magic car manufactured by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. They both use wind magic engines, and there is no performance like the "other magic engines" that the great magician Aisenka just said.
However, the next moment, Xu Yi suddenly felt a strong wave of fire magic elements erupting from the chassis of the magic car, and then the entire magic car rushed out like a wild horse.
Xu Yi was horrified.
This is the downtown area of Anvilmar City!
If you rush out at this speed, you may hit someone at any time!
Before his thoughts had settled, the magic car had already rushed out of a street intersection, with pedestrians on the road ahead close at hand.
"Is the Great Magician Aisenka trying to kill someone?" A trace of anger emerged from Xu Yi's heart.
Just when he wanted to mobilize all his magic power to forcefully push up the magic car, the great magician Essenka suddenly waved his right hand, which immediately disrupted the magic power fluctuations in the space around him, making it impossible for him to use magic elements quickly.
Xu Yi was shocked and angry, but had no choice but to watch helplessly as the magic car rushed past at high speed, about to hit a pedestrian on the road.
At this moment, the great magician Aisenka's right hand clicked on a button on the center console again. (To be continued...)
