Chapter 63: Did You Do It On Purpose?
The eyes of the entire Sainz Continent are almost focused on Xu Yi, who has been away from the Sainz Continent for a year, and countless people are speculating about whether the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have any changes, and countless people are looking forward to Xu Yi's return, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will intervene in the war between the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and there are many people who have opened their eyes wide, planning to watch the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce once again take out those amazing military magic machines that they have shocked the entire continent......
However...... Xu Yi disappointed everyone.
After a year, Xu Yi, who returned to the Sainz Continent from the Demon Cloud Continent, did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, he took the magic airship, and landed on the tarmac of the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as usual, and usually appeared in front of everyone, and the fact that he had returned was usually declared.
And while countless people were waiting for him to make some amazing decision, Xu Yi didn't make any special moves at all, and he still participated in the affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as usual as when he didn't leave the Sainz Continent a year ago, and it seemed that nothing had changed because he had been away for a year.
Well, it's not a mistake to say that nothing has changed at all.
After coming back, Xu Yi didn't seem to have much interest in participating in the specific affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Countless activities and work that should have been his presence were directly pushed away, and all of them were left to the current CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Grerus.
Even in the normal internal working meetings of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he rarely appeared.
If it weren't for the fact that someone could often see him at the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that it would make people think that he had simply come back and left.
And the changes in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
As in previous years, the new flying chamber of commerce is in accordance with the established plan. Orderly development of various affairs. Nothing special seems to have changed.
Of course. Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already become the premier super chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent, not only its own business in all walks of life, but also with other countries, chambers of commerce and various organizations have close cooperation.
Therefore, even if there is no special change in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the affairs involved in it have also touched all aspects and corners of the Sainz Continent.
Every move of this behemoth implicates the lives and even the fate of the vast majority of people in the Sainz continent.
Countless people are looking forward to or worrying about Xu Yi's return. It will make the new flying merchants have different changes, but the new flying merchants will only maintain stability, and it seems that they have not changed their pace because of this.
The only difference is probably that two months after Xu Yi's return, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to openly recruit people to work in the Demon Cloud Continent.
According to the official statement given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs a large number of people and talents who are willing to go to the Demon Cloud Continent to jointly develop the New World.
To this end, the new flying chamber of commerce is willing to offer high salaries and equally good benefits to attract these talents to join.
But for the people on the continent of Sainz, although because of the shift in new modes of transportation. It is nothing for people to travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from their hometowns, but they suddenly run to another continent tens of thousands of kilometers away. But there are still doubts.
Therefore, although the conditions offered by the new flying chamber of commerce are attractive enough, in fact, there are not many people who are willing to go.
Or more precisely, there are not many "talents" willing to go.
You must know that in the current Sainz continent, anyone who has good abilities in the magic industry will be sought after by major chambers of commerce, and even major organizations and countries, and can easily get a very good job and remuneration, where do you need to go to another continent more than 10,000 kilometers away to adventure.
And even ordinary people who don't have any special skills can still find a decent job in the booming magic industry on the continent of Sainz today, and naturally they don't need to take risks.
Therefore, the announcement of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been posted for two or three months, but it has not received any enthusiastic response, and the total number of successful recruits is not even a thousand, which is countless times worse than the minimum of 20,000 people who are recruited target.
However, three months later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly announced that it had added 3,000 qualified personnel at once, making great progress in the entire recruitment work in an instant.
Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also announced that a large number of people will continue to respond to the call of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and go to the Demon Cloud Continent to explore.
This sudden change naturally caused everyone's amazement.
Several newspapers even openly questioned whether the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce deliberately released false news because it couldn't recruit people for a long time, trying to lure people to follow suit?
But more newspapers are asking a different question.
Where did these people suddenly recruited by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce come from?
###
"Xu Yi, did you do it on purpose?" Sevini shook the "Bonta Daily" in his hand and asked Xu Yizheng in the magical illusion.
"Oh, what did you do on purpose?" Xu Yi tilted his head slightly, making a puzzled look.
Sevini sighed softly, thinking that if she met in reality, she would definitely take this "Bonta Daily" in front of Xu Yi as soon as possible, and directly questioned him loudly.
The headline on the first page of the "Bangta Daily" used such a big headline to indicate that it was impossible for Xu not to see it.
And he still pretended to be like this, making it clear that he didn't want to give a real answer to Sevigny.
However, Sevini couldn't help but ask, because it was too important for the future decisions of the Lampari Kingdom.
"The "Bonta Daily" said that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announced its complete withdrawal from the Magic Kingdom of Mana last year, and you deliberately chose to leave the Sainz continent last year, just to leave space for Candela to dare to go to war against the Magic Kingdom of Mana, is that so?"
Xu Yi was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"It's the Bonta Daily that thinks too much. Why am I doing this, and is it any good for me and our new flying chamber?"
I just don't understand what the benefits are!
Sevini shouted angrily in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he asked, "Benefits?For example, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now taken a large number of talents related to the magic industry and a large number of workers from the Magic Kingdom of Mana. Sent to the Demon Cloud Continent to assist in development. Is it a benefit?"
Xu Yi touched his chin. He smiled and nodded.
"It's a good thing, but it's just an accident, because I can't tell the Candela Empire to go to war against the Magic Kingdom of Mana. Besides, I've always wanted the entire Sainz continent to be in peace, don't you know?"
Sevini stared at Xu Yi in the magical illusion, trying to see his true thoughts from the smile on his face.
"Do you really want that?"
Xu Yi slowly put away his smile, and his expression became equally serious.
After looking at Severny for a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Sevigny." You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask the leaders of all the countries on this continent. And one of them, is yourself. ”
Sevigny's heart trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he was calmed down by her in an instant, and shook his head with a reluctant smile: "I don't understand what you mean." ”
"Really?" Xu Yi raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he paused, and continued: "If you have contacted me specifically because of speculation in the Bonta Daily, then I can only tell you that I am not interested in thinking about it that much. There is no interest in such conspiracy theories even more. But I confess that the Candela Empire is at war with the Magic Kingdom of Mana. That's exactly what I expected. ”
Sevigny's eyes widened suddenly: "Why? Since you know this will happen, why didn't you take precautions in advance?"
"Why should I prevent it?" Xu also asked rhetorically. "Is the continent of Sainz my own?Will what I say be able to make everyone on this continent obey?If you don't talk about anyone else, will you completely obey me regardless of the Lampari Kingdom?Her Majesty Queen Seviny?"
Hearing the hint of indifference in Xu Yi's tone, Sevini fell silent again, and the already reluctant smile on his face became even more bitter.
Xu Yi has been back to the Sainz Continent for five months, during which she has sent Xu Yi several invitations, hoping that Xu Yi will come to Anweimar City to discuss some important matters with her face-to-face, but Xu Yi has refused without exception.
Although Xu Yi gave a reason why he wanted to spend more time with his family, Sevigny clearly felt Xu Yi's estrangement.
She and Xu Yi have known each other for 30 years and have always been close partners, and it is with the strong support of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that she quelled the civil strife in the Lampari Kingdom and sat on the throne.
It stands to reason that Xu Yi can be regarded as her great benefactor, and even has an extremely close relationship with her.
But now, there is still a rift between the two.
Sevini knew very well why this rift had appeared, and the reason was because of the military magic machines that the Lampari Kingdom had studied in private.
Xu Yi has always opposed the various countries on the Sainz continent to put funds and manpower on the research of military magic machinery, because he felt that this was a complete waste of manpower and material resources, so he even forcefully asked the vast majority of countries on the continent to sign the "Continental Peace Convention" and the "Continental Magician Peace Convention", and with a tougher attitude, the Sainz continent has maintained peace in the past eleven years.
However, Sevigny, as his closest companion, has always violated his ideas and secretly developed military magic machines, which of course he will be angry about.
Sevini deliberately understood Xu Yi's anger, but she was helpless.
After all, she is the queen of the Lampari Kingdom, and of course she has to think about the entire Lampari Kingdom.
Xu also doesn't want the countries on the Sainz continent to develop military magic machines, but if the Lampari Kingdom doesn't develop them, can it guarantee that other countries on the continent will not develop them either?
If the Lampari Kingdom really did this, and after a few years, it was found that other countries had been privately conducting research and development for a long time, then the Lampari Kingdom was too far behind in this regard, which would be extremely dangerous for the Lampari Kingdom.
She can certainly expect to get support from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to ensure the strength of the Lampari Kingdom.
But what if she's gone?
Even Xu Yi is gone?
Who can guarantee that the Kingdom of Lampari and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will always maintain a good cooperative relationship?
Relying on others is unreliable after all, and the most reliable is always yourself. (To be continued.) )
