Chapter 87: Painful Wella
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and walked in.
The familiar man and woman were being led by the waiter to sit down at a table at this time, and just as they were about to order food, Xu Yi had already come to them.
"Hey, Rem, Wella, aren't you two in Saltan City?" Xu Yi raised his hand to greet the two.
Rem and Weina looked at Xu Yi who suddenly appeared in amazement, and after being stunned for a while, Weina suddenly sighed and said, "Bangta City is really a small place, and you may meet your former acquaintances at any time. But Xu Yi, the last person I want to see now is you. ”
Rem's expression was also somewhat embarrassed, looking at Xu Yi's gaze evasively, as if he didn't dare to look at Xu Yi.
"Oh, why don't you want to see me?" Xu Yi sat down on the chair next to him unceremoniously and asked Wei Na curiously, "I didn't do anything to be sorry for you, did I?
"No, quite the opposite, I did what I did to be sorry for you. After a few months, Wella seems to have lost the sharpness she used to have when she was in Camilla's Wizard Tower, and her whole person seems to have become a little depressed, but she still speaks cleanly and neatly, and she doesn't deliberately hide and dodge.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "I seem to have heard that you and Rem are in charge of researching magic machinery at the Leo Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City, and you said that you did something sorry for me, could it be that this is the case?"
Wella nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Rem reaching out.
"Wella, don't say it, don't you think we're not ashamed enough?" Rehm's expression was a little pained.
Wei Na glanced at him and said indifferently: "It is precisely because of shame that I have to say it." Since he happened to meet Xu Yi, it would be better to tell him the truth about the matter. If we can't get his forgiveness and help, then we will have to live with guilt for the rest of our lives. Are you willing to do that?"
Rem's raised hand stiffened for a long time, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally with a long sigh, he put down his hand, leaned back against the chair, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Xu Yi was strange in his heart, he learned from the news he heard that Rem and Wella were very valued after following Camillo to the Leo Chamber of Commerce, why did the two of them appear in Bangta City now with a dejected appearance?
"Xu Yi, since you know that we went to the Leo Chamber of Commerce, then you must also know what we do at the Leo Chamber of Commerce, right?" Wei Na asked again.
Xu Yi nodded: "I probably know something." I've seen the magic fan produced by the Leo Chamber of Commerce, which is the closest to our new flying brand magic fan I've seen so far, and it's also the second-generation variable speed magic fan, which surprised me. I thought that without the technical support provided by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it would be impossible for other chambers of commerce to make their own second-generation magic fans. ”
Rem suddenly snorted softly: "That's not a particularly difficult thing, what's not to do?"
Xu Yi smiled and didn't speak, while Weina glared at Rem fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Rem, shut up!
The corners of Rem's mouth twitched twice, and she closed her lips tightly, this time as if she was not ready to speak again.
Wei Na's gaze turned back to Xu Yi, paused, and continued: "At first, we thought that this new type of magic fan was indeed not a difficult thing, and we also successfully imitated the magic machine tool, and it was not a problem to make this magic fan. In fact, thanks to our efforts, we did help the Leo Chamber of Commerce to make the same variable speed magic fan, and the Leo Chamber of Commerce also rewarded me and Rem with 100 gold coins each. But ......"
Speaking of which, Wella, who has always been very calm under normal circumstances, can even be said to be expressionless, but a trace of deep pain appeared on her face.
"Xu Yi, do you know that there are still magic fans in Saltan City and the Leo Chamber of Commerce...... Are there any accidents related to the magic rice cooker?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, these accidents have even been reported by the "Bangta Daily", which shows the great impact.
The painful look on Wella's face deepened a little, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "If it weren't for the fact that we didn't know the height of the sky and studied the magic fan and magic rice cooker, then these accidents wouldn't have happened at all." Xu Yi, do you know that every day when I sleep, the people in Saltan City who have been injured or even died due to accidents will appear in my head, making it difficult for me to fall asleep. They were supposed to live in peace and security in Saltan City, but because they believed in the magical machinery I had researched, they encountered such an accident. I...... I'm sorry for them. ”
Xu Yi looked at Wella, who was full of pain, and Rem, who also had a painful look, and understood a little.
It seems that both of them feel that the responsibility for these accidents lies with them, so much so that they are burdened with a deep sense of guilt.
But the strange thing is that just now Weina also said that she did something sorry for Xu Yi, why is this?
"Xu Yi, do you know what's going on with the magic machine of the Leo Chamber of Commerce?" Wei Na asked rhetorically.
Xu Yi frowned, thought for a while, and said: "The structure of the magic machine tool is far more complex than the magic fan and the magic rice cooker, and the magic machine tool of the Leo Chamber of Commerce was not purchased from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but developed by itself. However, the magic fan and magic rice cooker you developed have quality problems, so the magic machine tool of the Leo Chamber of Commerce is only more unreliable. However, I have not heard of any problems with the magic machine of the Leo Chamber of Commerce, which proves that the technology of this magic machine tool is not based on your own research. In other words......" Xu Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened as he looked at Wella and Rem. "Wella, the technology of the magic machine was stolen from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"It's too ugly to say stealing, isn't it?" Rem, who had been silent for a while, couldn't help but speak. "Xu Yi, I admit that we did get some information about the magic machine tool from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but we have also added some of our own understanding of the magic machine tool of the Leo Chamber of Commerce, which can not be regarded as a complete copy of the magic machine tool of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xu Yi glanced at Rem and shook his head, not planning to talk to him about this issue in depth.
On the Sainz continent, there is no such thing as intellectual property rights, and there is no such thing as patent rights, so strictly speaking, even if Rem and Weina really stole the technology of the magic machine tool from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no problem from a legal point of view.
But from a legal point of view, there is no problem, but from a moral point of view, it is not a problem.
The Sainz continent attaches great importance to the privacy of the skills that individuals have studied, and if others steal and steal the unique skills of this person without their consent, then they will be despised by others as a matter of course.
This is the reason why Wella feels that she has done something sorry for Xu Yi.
As Xu Yi just analyzed, the reason why the Leo Chamber of Commerce was able to make their own magic machine tool was obviously because Rem and Weina stole the technology about the magic machine machine from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, the Leo Chamber of Commerce has no foundation in the research of magic machinery, and it is impossible to directly develop a more complex magic machine tool that requires a more refined mechanical structure.
"Let me think about it...... Wella, I remember that before you left Bangta City, you told me that you wanted to visit our chamber of commerce's factory, and that was when you got the information about the magic machine tool?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Yes. Wella nodded. "Xu Yi, in fact, at that time, I was just curious, I wanted to see what the magic machinery that was more complex than the magic fan looked like, and I didn't think about stealing these technologies. Only later...... Later, when we went to the Leo Chamber of Commerce, we were under a lot of pressure, and finally I thought of taking out what I knew. ”
Wella suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, I'm sorry. ”
Seeing Wella's movements, Rem wanted to stop it, but after reaching out his hand, he seemed to think of something and stopped again.
Xu Yi looked at Wella, who was bent over, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
I think that when she was in the Camila Magician Tower, Wella was very arrogant in the research room because of her magical strength and talent, and it seemed that she would not bow to anyone at all.
Now she bent down and said sorry to herself, the person with the lowest magical strength in the research room, which was really surprising.
After looking at Wei Na for a while, Xu Yi waved his hand: "No need, I don't like to be said sorry, it doesn't make any sense." Tell me why you suddenly appeared in Bonta City. ”
Wei Na is not a person who drags mud and water, after hearing Xu Yi's words, she sat down again, paused and replied: "It's nothing, since there are so many accidents, someone must take responsibility." We are the main magicians responsible for the study of magical machines, and of course we are the ones who acknowledge this responsibility. A week ago, we were fired from the Leo Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xu Yi nodded, not too surprised.
The Leo Chamber of Commerce's approach is similar to that of many companies on the planet.
"In other words, you are both unemployed now?" Xu Yi asked.
Wella and Rem glanced at each other and sighed softly, "We can't stay in Saltan City any longer. We only came back to Bonta City because we were originally Bonta. But we left Grand Magician Camilla, and now it's certainly impossible to go back. I talked to Rem that in a few days, when I was calmer, I would leave here and look farther afield. ”
"I understand that you don't want to go back to Camilla's Wizard Tower, but why did you leave Bonta City and go somewhere else?" "Even in Bonta City, with your strength and knowledge, you can still find a very suitable job. ”
Wella shook her head, "It's impossible. Magical research can only be done in the name of Grand Magician Camilla, and since we can't study magic machines anymore, there's no point in staying in Bonta anymore. ”
"It's certainly not for nothing. Xu Yi smiled. "I can welcome you on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce if you wish. How about it? Do you want to come?"
Wella and Rem looked at Xu Yi in amazement.
