Chapter 36: Are You Discouraged?

The disturbance that happened here should be under the control of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and Xu was unwilling and inconvenient to interfere, so he just shook his head and prepared to leave.

However, he didn't look for trouble, but things came to his head on his own initiative.

The group of troublemakers made a noise for a while, as if they saw someone here, and a group of people rushed to this side.

"Hey, look, this guy seems to be Xu Yi!" After the crowd rushed over, one of them pointed at Xu Yi and shouted loudly.

"It's really him!"

"That's right! It's Xu Yi!"

"Brothers, this guy dares to appear here, we must teach him a good lesson!"

"Yes, it's this guy who has caused everyone to have nothing to do, it's a great crime!"

"Yes, teach him, let him know that he knows how powerful!"

......

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd in front of him who were shouting loudly, but no one really dared to rush up, sneered, turned to Van Horn and said, "If this is your arrangement, I can only say that it is too inferior." ”

Van Horn's face changed, and he waved his hand again and again: "President Xu, you misunderstood! How could this be arranged by us? I didn't know that this group of guys would suddenly appear......

As if to prove his words, Van Horn took two steps forward and shouted at the group, "Hey, what are you making trouble here? President Xu is a distinguished guest of the kingdom, and if you dare to be powerless against him, believe it or not, I will immediately send someone to arrest you?"

"Hey, if you have the ability, you can catch it?"

"That's it, we can't get by anyway, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Lao Tzu is not even afraid of death on the battlefield. Will you still be scared?"

"What a joke. We're all magicians with military positions in the kingdom's military department. Which onion are you going to dare to catch us?"

"A magician with a military position?" Xu Yi's expression moved, glanced at the group of people, thought for a while, and somewhat understood. "Van Horn, are they the magicians who were eliminated by your kingdom's army because of the Magician Peace Pact?"

Van Horn nodded a little embarrassed: "Yes." He immediately explained: "In fact, most of the mages who have been eliminated have already found suitable jobs in various chambers of commerce and research institutes, but there are still some who are reluctant to do so, preferring to serve in the army. So ......"

"Oh, I see. Xu Yi glanced at the group of people. "It looks like it's just a bunch of defeated dogs, but it's not worth taking seriously. ”

In the latter sentence, Xu Yi deliberately did not lower his voice, and naturally fell into the ears of that group of people.

The group's faces changed and they shouted loudly again.

"Who do you say is the defeated dog?"

"Why are you talking about us, if it weren't for the goddamn Wizards' Peace Pact that you New Flying Chamber of Commerce came up with, would we be where we are now?"

"That's it, it's all your guy's fault, and you're embarrassed to stand in front of us and talk nonsense, are we really afraid to do it?"

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at them amusedly. "You've been shouting here for a long time. If you want to do it, you can do it, and I won't stop you. ”

A group of people glared at Xu Yi angrily. But no one dared to do it.

Since they recognized Xu Yi, of course they knew Xu Yi's identity very well, and knew that Xu Yi had a strong strength at the level of a magister.

Just a group of people who are only seventh-level magicians at most, how dare they make a move against Xu Yi, a magician?

Xu Yi smiled contemptuously, didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and just said to Van Horne: "Please tell Your Majesty that if your country can't even handle these small matters, then I will have doubts about your country's attitude and ability to cooperate, and I am afraid that it will greatly affect the cooperation between us." ”

After that, he ignored Van Horn, and with a slight shock to his body, he had already flown into the air.

Van Horn and the group of people looked up in amazement, but saw a magic airship flying from nowhere, just catching up with Xu Yi and taking Xu Yi in.

Seeing the magic airship disappear in an instant, Van Horn and the group froze.

After a long moment, one of them looked at Van Horn with a depressed expression.

"Lord Van Horne, this guy ...... Why don't you play according to the routine?"

Van Horn looked at them viciously, but there was nothing to say.

It was a long moment before he let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly.

"This President Xu is really unexpected......"

###

The Magic Airship flew at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour at a high altitude and in a short time had already passed the city of Sosri and landed outside a small town about forty kilometers southeast of the city.

As soon as Xu Yi walked out of the hatch, a slender figure rushed over and threw himself directly into his arms.

"Dad, you're finally here!"

Freya hugged Xu Yi tightly and rubbed her face against his chest, her face full of joy.

Xu Yi laughed, reached out and rubbed her head, pushing her away.

"Okay, she's such a big girl, why are you still coquettish like a little girl?"

"In front of you, I will always be a child. Freya replied with a grin, revealing a hint of confusion. "By the way, didn't they say that you still have to negotiate some things with the people of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, it may take a lot of time. I thought I'd see you in the evening, but I didn't expect you to come back so early. ”

Xu Yi remembered what had just happened, frowned and shook his head.

Seeing Xu Yi's expression, Freya was surprised and hurriedly asked.

Xu Yi thought about it for a moment and told Freya in detail what had just happened.

"Freya, what would you do if you were in my place?"

Freya blinked, knowing that this was Xu Yi taking the opportunity to test herself.

But after her eyes rolled a few times, she frowned slightly, and said to Xu Yi unceremoniously: "Dad, you are too emotional." ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi asked with some amusement. "Why do you say that?"

"You must think that these guys from the Magic Kingdom of Mana are not only pushing back when it comes to cooperation, but also unwilling to work hard. And now I still use these little tricks to embarrass you. So you're angry. Decided to just break up with them, right?"

"Hmm...... That's probably what I think of, but is that sentimental?"

"Forget it, don't you always tell me that no matter what you do, you must recognize your goal, and then work towards it, and nothing else will affect your judgment? Isn't that sentimental?" Freya rebuked without any politeness.

Xu Yi laughed: "You're right. But Freya, you don't know what I'm really trying to do. ”

"The real goal?" Freya tilted her head, puzzled. "Isn't it to cooperate with the Magic Kingdom of Mana and vigorously promote the magic industry here?"

"It's just a short-term goal. Xu Yi turned his head slightly, glanced in the direction of Sosrui City, and sighed lightly: "If I can successfully implement the magic industry in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, then of course I am willing to put in a lot of effort for this." But now it is clear that there is a serious problem within the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and there is no unity of opinion, so that they even use this stupid little trick in front of me. So I think. Let them go first. ”

"But in the past, when I did this in other countries, I also encountered a lot of difficulties. You never said you wanted to give up?" Freya was still puzzled.

"It used to be, but now it is...... I've basically completed my mission on the Sainz continent, and it's up to them to solve it next. If you are willing to follow the trend of the times, you will naturally keep up, but if you don't want to...... Just let them be eliminated. ”

Freya frowned and looked at Xu Yi with confusion.

Her impression of her father always seems to be full of energy and motivation, always moving towards the goals he has set, and never has any thoughts of backing down or compromise.

Why did he decide to give up this time after only a minor setback?

Even if it's temporary, it's still completely different from what he's used to do.

Thinking of this, Freya grabbed Xu Yi's hand with some concern and asked with a concerned face, "Dad, are you...... Did something happen that made you feel discouraged?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the concerned look on Freya's face, he immediately understood that she had misunderstood.

"Hehe, there are some things that disappoint me, but it wouldn't be discouraged. Well...... Do you think I'm doing something different this time than I've done before?"

Freya nodded vigorously.

"There's a reason for that. Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked again, "Freya, how did the Candela Empire reply to your question about Teresa?"

Freya was stunned, not understanding why Xu Yi suddenly changed the topic to this.

But after thinking about it for a moment, she let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.

"Haha, Dad, you can't imagine how wonderful the expressions of the two of them were when I took out those two pictures and asked the Grand Duke of Galbut and the Marquis of Askender for their names!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I can probably guess." After all, this is a secret that the Candela Empire has always guarded, and it would be strange if they were not shocked if they thought no one knew, but you broke it. ”

Freya laughed for a while, then slowly retracted her expression and continued, "While I was leaving, the Grand Duke of Garbut personally sent me away. He asked me to tell you that I hope you will be able to visit the Candela Empire when you are free, and that he has something important to negotiate with you in person. ”

"I'm not interested if it's for that. Xu Yi shook his head. "Anyway, the two paintings that you handed over to them have been taken, and the questions have been asked, so you don't need to pay attention to other things. ”

Freya was surprised: "So...... Aren't you going to pursue it, but they're secretly developing military magic machines!"

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "Let them develop it, as long as it's not open research, I don't bother to pay attention to it." ”

Freya frowned deeply and looked at Xu Yi in confusion.

Why...... How could my father's way of dealing with things be so gentle now?

Is it because ...... Is he old?

Freya looked at Xu Yi's young face, which didn't show any wrinkles at all, and was only in her early thirties, and she didn't want to believe her guess anyway. (To be continued.) )
