Early the next morning, while Daddy Sackchi and the others were still asleep, Xu Yi had already left the Demon Mending Station and embarked on a journey to the Duchy of Norton.
Driving the silver-white magic car along the newly built highway of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, it took only one morning to reach the northern border of the Duchy of Norton, five hundred kilometers away.
There were no roads here, and after Xu Yi drove the magic car on the bumpy dirt road for a while, an ordinary-looking black carriage appeared next to the dirt road in front of him.
Xu Yi drove the magic car to the woods on the side of the road and put it away, got out of the car, and came to the black carriage.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Baron Billier's face, which was a little flabby by the over-coloured wine.
Glancing at the magic car that Xu Yi had left in the woods, Baron Billier licked his lips with a look of pity on his face.
"Such a good car, you don't have to worry about others stealing it if you leave it here?"
Xu Yi glanced at him with some amusement: "It seems that your magic car has always been well protected by you?"
Baron Bilier patted his not strong chest and said proudly, "Of course. My three magic cars are all my treasures, and I don't usually allow anyone else to touch them. ”
"When they break, they still need to be touched by maintenance workers, right?" Xu Yi dropped a sentence, ignoring the bitter-faced Baron Bilier, and nodded to the coachman who had been silent all the time. "Alright. Let's go. ”
The coachman looked at Baron Billier. Baron Billier nodded listlessly. "Listen to him. ”
The coachman moved his hands. The reins fell, and the two horses galloped quickly north with the black carriage.
The black carriage didn't look surprising on the outside, but the facilities inside were extremely luxurious, with a thick fur quilt on the floor, which was so soft that no matter how bumpy the carriage was on the dirt road, it didn't feel so uncomfortable to sit on.
And even though it's early summer, it's a little hot outside. However, there is always a slight coolness coming from under the interior of the carriage, which lowers the temperature in the entire carriage to a cool and suitable temperature.
Prior to this, Xu Yi had only experienced this luxury when he rode in the personal carriage of Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and the rest of the time he only suffered from the bumps of the carriage.
And since the design and manufacture of the magic car, Xu Yi has never ridden in a carriage again.
What's more, since the appearance of magic cars and various passenger magic locomotives, the carriages in the kingdom of Lampari and the kingdom of Ruersun and several surrounding countries are now almost completely eliminated.
Except for some nostalgic people, very few people choose horse-drawn carriages when traveling.
This time I took this carriage, and after careful calculation, it turned out to be more than three years since Xu Yi. First ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
After about two hours on the dirt road, the black carriage finally stopped.
Xu Yi and Baron Bilier got out of the carriage. Find yourself outside a huge manor.
The estate covers such an area that the carriage is now parked outside the gate of the manor, and the shadow of a row of buildings on the distant horizon can only be seen in the distance.
Xu Yi frowned slightly.
Since it was still so far away from the houses in the manor, why did he put himself and Baron Billier directly at the gate?
Could this be the hospitality of Frank de Boer, the third prince of the Candela Empire?
The gate of the manor was made of pure iron, and when the two arrived, they were in a half-hidden state, leaving only a gap, and they didn't know whether to let people in or not.
The taciturn coachman along the way glanced at the two of them and said in an indifferent tone: "Go in by yourself, Director Cuomo is waiting for you." ”
Xu Yi and Baron Billier looked at each other, and when they wanted to ask questions, the coachman shook the reins and drove away in a black carriage.
Looking at the black carriage in the distance, Baron Bilier's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but snort softly.
immediately thought that Xu Yi was beside him, and immediately showed an embarrassed smile.
"This ...... President Hui...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"
Xu Yi shook his head lightly, turned his head to look at the buildings that seemed to be on the horizon in the distance, thinking that this distance probably represented the huge identity gap between his current identity and the three princes of the Candela Empire.
"Alright, let's go in. Xu Yi pushed away the sticker and walked in indifferently.
Baron Bilier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
The house from the gate to the inside of the manor was two or three kilometers away, and Xu Yi walked steadily, but he didn't walk fast, so it took the two of them half an hour to arrive.
When you get closer, you will find that this house is also surprisingly large, looking from the left hand end to the right, the middle is four or five hundred meters long, and the depth is even more invisible.
On the lawn of the garden in front of him, a thin middle-aged man in his fifties with half-white hair was standing.
Seeing the two slowly approaching, the middle-aged man's face was unhappy, and he said coldly: "From the time you arrived at the gate, it took half an hour to walk all the way here. If you let Your Highness wait so long, you have already committed a great sin of disrespect. ”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "But His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not here, is he?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, then snorted heavily, turned around and walked towards the house.
Xu Yi patted the stunned Baron Billier on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.
As the middle-aged man entered the room, he casually pointed to the two chairs on the left-hand side and motioned for the two to sit down.
Xu Yi looked left and right, and found that apart from this middle-aged man, there was not even a servant here.
It seems that there are no two of them as guests here.
Xu Yi suddenly showed a slightly apologetic smile to Baron Bilier.
Baron Billier was a little baffled.
Xu Yi was brought here by himself, but now he is being treated like this, obviously he is sorry for Xu Yicai. Why did Xu Yi feel sorry for him?
But he didn't know. In fact, Xu Yi thought of it if it wasn't for his own reasons. If Baron Billier had only come here, it would have been impossible for him to be treated so sloppily by virtue of his kinship with Prince Frank.
As for why he was treated like this, Xu Yi didn't think that Prince Frank did it on purpose, because he knew very well that with his status and status, Prince Frank would not be taken seriously at all, so naturally he didn't need to be treated any special way.
In this situation, most of the reason is still due to this middle-aged man who should be the director of Cuomo.
I thought about it. Xu Yi kept smiling, sat down in his chair, and looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man coughed lightly, still in an extremely indifferent voice: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Como, and I am the director of this manor of Your Highness." President Xu, tell you the truth, you are not qualified to meet His Highness now, so if there is anything to do, just tell me directly. ”
Baron Bilier looked at Xu Yi with some concern.
With Xu Yi's current status in the kingdom of Lampari and several surrounding countries, when did he suffer from this kind of?
If it's Baron Billyl. He probably had already walked away in a fit of rage.
However, Xu Yi's face did not show any strange expression, and he still kept smiling.
"Good. But I have a question. Director Cuomo, can you make a heavy decision on behalf of His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
"Heavy?" Director Cuomo shook his head coldly. "I don't think the matter you discussed with me can be so serious that His Highness needs to make a decision himself. ”
"Not necessarily. Xu Yi showed a slightly weird smile. "If it's just a magic car to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, it naturally doesn't matter. However, I came this time in the hope that I could directly present the entire professional racing circuit and a full set of racing teams to His Royal Highness the Three Princes, so as to ensure that His Royal Highness the Three Princes can enjoy the thrill of racing more happily. ”
Baron Bilier on the side immediately widened his eyes and his face was full of amazement.
Xu Yi, this guy is really generous.
A magic car is very expensive for ordinary people, but for His Royal Highness the Three Princes of the Candela Empire, thousands of gold coins are not even pocket money.
But this time, Xu Yi directly gave His Royal Highness the Third Prince a professional racing track, which alone was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
What's more, it also comes with a full racing team!
This is something Baron Billier has always dreamed of!
But according to Baron Billier's understanding, the entire racing team includes not only maintenance engineers, but also analysts, mechanical engineers and other professionals.
The value of these people alone is almost beyond an entire professional racing track.
And if you want to hire such a team from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you need to pay as much as 30,000 gold coins for just one service.
Such an astonishing consumption, even with Baron Billier's current income, could not afford it.
However, after hearing this, Director Cuomo still did not change his face, and still looked like a dead man.
"This is just an entertainment that His Highness has risen up on the spot, and it is not a serious decision, and there is no need to alarm His Highness. But since you are willing to give it away, and Your Highness agrees, then I will accept it on Your Highness's behalf. ”
Baron Billier breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if he was willing to take it, he would be fine.
Anyway, Xu Yi's purpose is this, as long as Director Cuomo replaces Prince Frank to accept it, then he will complete the task.
However, Xu Yi didn't seem to be satisfied, and after glancing at Director Cuomo, he continued: "Director Cuomo, I really hope that His Royal Highness the Third Prince can experience the fun of racing, so I hope to be able to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince riding in the magic car, so that I can be sure that my gift is meaningful." ”
Hearing this, Baron Bilier's face immediately changed drastically.
Director Cuomo was slightly stunned, then anger appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Bold! What do you think you are? Your Highness's willingness to accept your things is already for the sake of Baron Billier's face, how dare you make such a request?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I'm a businessman. For businessmen, any investment wants to see a return. And the reward I hope for this gift to His Royal Highness the Third Prince is that His Royal Highness the Third Prince can really like racing. I don't think I'm asking too much, right?"
Director Cuomo was furious: "How dare you be so arrogant! Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Xu Yi looked at Director Cuomo with a smile, as if he didn't recognize the meaning of what he said.
"Good! good!" Director Cuomo laughed angrily. "I can't imagine that a merchant from the tiny principality of Stantin would dare to speak like this in front of me. Have you ever wondered what kind of punishment you would receive if Your Highness knew what you had just said?"
"No, quite the opposite. Director Cuomo, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince knew that I had a way to make him earn millions or even millions of gold coins more every year, would he be very grateful to me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Millions of gold coins a year?"
Director Cuomo and Baron Bilier were stunned, looking at Xu Yi like a madman.
