Xu Yi's ideal is very plump, but then reality shows him a naked sense of skin.

For the laying of the magic signal tower, according to the plan, the first step is to erect and carry out on Xu Yi's private territory, which can be regarded as a kind of promotion, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a real base for Xu Yi's private territory, which is convenient for testing and further research in all aspects.

When this step has reached a certain point, the next step is to extend the erection of the Magic Signal Tower to the entire Duchy of Stantin, and to integrate the entire Duchy into the magical network conceived by Xu Yi.

However, the first step did not encounter any obstacles, but the second step was very difficult at the beginning.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first negotiated with another noble lord of the Duchy of Stantin, who was adjacent to Xu Yi's private domain, and planned to lay the magic signal tower in his private domain, expanding the magical network built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, when negotiating with this noble lord, the idea proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was categorically rejected by this noble lord.

This surprised Xu Yi very much.

Because his personal domain is very close to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this noble lord has long reached an extremely deep cooperative relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and has gained a lot of benefits from this partnership.

Prior to this, he had no objection to any request made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and absolutely complied with it, but during this negotiation, he showed an unusually tough attitude and did not leave any possibility of further negotiation, saying that it was impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to erect a magic signal tower on his private territory under any circumstances.

His violent reaction made everyone in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very strange, and Xu Yi even went to meet the noble lord himself for this matter, explaining to him in person the role of the magic signal tower and the great help of building a magic network to improve the living standards of the people. But it still didn't make him feel the slightest bit relieved.

In the end, because of his unusual persistence. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce was forced to temporarily abandon his private domain as its first expansion target. Instead, he negotiated with another noble lord who bordered Xu Yi's private domain.

However, the other noble lord actually showed the same resolute attitude as the previous noble lord, and also said that he would not agree to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to set up a magic signal tower on his private territory no matter what.

If it was just a noble lord who showed such a very different attitude from the past, it could be regarded as a special consideration for personal aspects, but now there are two noble lords who show such a strange attitude at the same time, which cannot but attract Xu Yi's attention.

When he asked his men to contact another noble lord, and received a slightly mild but equally firm refusal, Xu Yi finally understood that the obstacles he was encountering were probably not simple.

Facts have proved Xu Yi's inference.

Next, the Akali R&D team cooperated with the public relations personnel of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to liaise with more than a dozen noble spirits in the Duchy of Stantin. The answer was a no, without exception.

Such a strange situation naturally made everyone who knew about it feel strange.

Why would these noble lords in the Duchy of Stantin be willing to risk offending the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to oppose such a proposal that would not harm them at all, but would vigorously promote the convenience of life for the people in their territory?

Xu Yi was very curious about this, but the reasons given by those noble lords for refusal were strange, no matter what they knew at a glance, they knew that it was just an excuse, but they didn't have any truth.

The erection of the Magic Signal Tower is carried out in the private domain of these noble lords, so if it is to be truly laid in its entirety, it must be vigorously cooperated by these noble lords.

Now one by one, they are putting on a posture that is completely uncooperative. Xu Yi couldn't do anything for a while.

However, compared to the inexplicable rejection of erecting the magic signal tower, Xu is more concerned about the real reason behind the rejection of these noble lords.

He had previously initiated a proposal to Congress. Needing a new piece of private territory, but being opposed by more than half of the members of the parliament and finally having to give up, Xu Yi suddenly found that he, or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, may not have as much influence in the Principality of Stantin as he thought before.

As for the control power of the entire Duchy of Stantin, it is even more obvious that these two things are clearly reflected - that is, in essence, there is not much control power at all.

This made Xu Yi feel a little disappointed.

He originally thought that the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had brought a significant improvement in the lives of all the citizens in the Principality of Stanting, and almost everyone benefited from it, so the whole Principality of Stantin should be very much in favor of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and would support all the actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But the ruthless facts told him that he took it for granted.

"You're going to be thirty-five years old this year, aren't you? Why are you still as innocent as a child?" Camila Magister frowned and glanced at Xu Yi and shook her head. "Kindness alone can make others appreciate you, but you have to be clear about one thing. Gratitude is gratitude, and obedience and obedience are two different things entirely. Other people may be grateful that you agree to do something, but when it comes to their own private interests, they will of course give priority to protecting their own private interests, so how can they blindly obey you. ”

"But...... I asked for more private territories, which would affect the private interests of other people, and it was reasonable for them to oppose it, but what was the impact of helping them to erect the Magic Signal Tower?

"You don't want to study magic more often, you know there's a problem, right?" Magister Camilla snorted softly.

Xu Yi scratched his head inexplicably: "What does this have to do with letting me study more magic?

"No, not really. Magister Camilla shook her head. "But if you spend more time studying magic, you will know the allusions of a wizard's circle, and you will not be surprised that they oppose the erection of the Beacon Tower. ”

Xu Yi was stunned: "What allusion?"

"This was more than 2,000 years ago. Magister Camilla cleared her throat. "About two or three thousand years ago. Humans have just snatched control of the entire continent from the elves. Because at that time, humans mainly relied on magic learned from elves. Only then did he finally defeat the elves. So at that time, there were not only many magicians, but also very powerful. At that time, the most powerful magicians were the undisputed leaders of the human race, and for their own notice, these powerful magicians would erect magic towers within their control......"

Through Guò Camilla's explanation, Xu Yi finally understood.

It turned out that more than two thousand years ago. The powerful magic fluctuations emitted by the magic tower erected by those powerful magicians can easily control all the humans within the influence of the magic tower, even other races.

Because these magicians were not all good-natured, the human society at that time was actually completely ruled by these powerful magicians using magic towers, and became private property that they could drive at will, and their lives were not much better than the previous elves ruling this continent, or even worse.

Although with the progress and development of human society, this model of powerful magicians ruling human society was finally completely broken and became the current human kingdom, but the shadow of the magic tower has always remained in people's memory.

Now the new flyers want to erect a magic signal tower. Although it is completely different from the magic tower in terms of function and function, it is because of the shadow left before. It's no surprise that everyone rejected it.

Xu Yi's thoughts about other noble lords having scruples because of this were understandable, but this still made him a little crying and laughing.

"Isn't there a mistake! Magic Signal Towers and those Magic Towers are two different things, okay? They're too cautious, aren't they?"

"Any caution is justified in situations that threaten one's own rule. Camila Magister faintly spat out a famous quote from the continent of Sainz.

Xu Yi shook his head helplessly: "Then what should I do? Do you want me to force those noble lords to erect magic signal towers? If I really want to do this, I might as well directly send the Chamber of Commerce escort team to destroy them all." ”

"It's a good idea. Magister Camilla shrugged her shoulders, then glanced at Xu Yi, who was surprised, and nodded again with great certainty. "Don't doubt it, I'm serious. ”

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Grandpa, are you instigating me?"

"No, I'm building you very seriously. Magister Camilla said in a deep voice. "I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time. I'm a big believer in your ideal of using magical machines to improve the lives of ordinary people, but I've always found your approach problematic. ”

"What's the problem?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"You're too indecisive. Obviously, you have the ability to completely control the entire Duchy of Stanting in your own hands, but you have to insist on making such a messy parliamentary management model. I'm not saying it's bad, but don't you realize that this model makes a lot of trouble for many of your ideas and practices to implement in the Principality of Stantin?"

Xu Yi was silent for a moment and nodded lightly: "I found out." But...... That's what I'm trying. I don't want to, and I'm not fit to be a king. ”

"No, I'm not making you king, and you kid isn't the material. I just want to remind you, Xu Yi, that the responsibility on your body is far heavier than you think. You have to change that mindset and be tough. Indecisiveness and procrastination will only make many things more difficult, and even make you farther and farther away from your ideals. ”

Speaking of this, Camila Magister patted Xu Yi's shoulder vigorously with a solemn expression.

"Xu Yi, I agree with your ideals and hope that you can truly realize your ideals. But for the sake of this, you have to figure it out. ”

Xu Yi was silent, lowered his head slightly, looked at the ground, and was silent for a long time.

Camila Magister didn't rush him, just watched quietly.

After a long while, Xu Yi took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were no longer half-dead and confused, and they became extremely firm and bright.

"Yes, grandpa, I see, I know what I should do. ”

Magister Camilla smiled and nodded.

He understands Xu Yi and thinks that Xu Yi is the smartest person he has ever seen in his life, since he can figure it out and make up his mind, then there is no need for him to say more about many things.

"Okay, Xu Yi, no matter what you decide to do, remember, I, Camila Magister, will definitely do my best to help you!"

"Thank you. (To be continued......)
