Chapter 74: What to Pay?

After being rejected by Xu Yi, Elder Elucia and Elder Lisanya did not mention this matter again for the next period of time, but concentrated on helping Xu Yi master the special meditation method of the elven race.

After more than a month of continuous and careful teaching, Xu Yi finally mastered this special meditation method that is very different from that of human magicians.

The elves were originally the teachers of human beings in magic, although the elves have been weak for thousands of years, but they have always been much ahead of humans in the study of magic, coupled with the accumulation of tens of thousands of years before, the elves have a lot of very unique and excellent places in magic.

This particular form of meditation is one of them.

After mastering the special meditation method of the elven clan, Xu Yi tried to meditate in this way, and it was obvious that the magic power recovery speed and improvement speed he obtained while meditating were much stronger than before.

While this is due in part to the fact that his body, which has been "washed" several times by the two elders, is more adaptable to the flow of magic, this particular way of meditating undoubtedly has the greatest credit.

If it is said that according to the previous speed, Xu Yi's magic power has steadily improved, probably more than forty years old, and the strength of his magic power is enough to control spatial magic, so that he can truly step into the ranks of great magicians.

However, with the current way of meditation, Xu Yi's magic power increase speed has greatly increased, and at least this time can be saved by half.

To be more optimistic, Xu Yi was even able to raise his magic power to the level of a great magician after the age of thirty-five.

As for the study of magic, it depends on Xu Yi's own comprehension.

However, this problem is precisely Xu Yi's biggest headache. It was also a question that Grand Magician Camilla and the two elders were very helpless about.

Xu Yi's top priority is always the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry. His interest in magic can only be second.

So he could never devote himself to the study of magic as fully as other magicians. Naturally, the lifting speed cannot reach the limit.

The only consolation is that Xu Yi's talent is indeed excellent, and his understanding of magic is far beyond that of ordinary magicians.

In general, as long as his magic can keep up, there is no magic that he can't master.

So in the final analysis, he still has to wait for his magic power to be raised to the level of the Great Magician, so that he can really attack the realm of the Great Magician.

However, there is no shortcut to the accumulation and improvement of magic power, even if Xu Yi has now mastered the special meditation method of the elf clan. The speed of mana growth has been greatly increased, but it is still necessary to meditate day by day, accumulating mana little by little, and waiting for that day to come.

For this, neither Grand Magician Camilla nor the two elders could do anything, so after Xu Yi truly mastered the special meditation method of the elven clan, the two elders left separately and returned to their own clan.

Before leaving, they still did not propose the marriage proposal to Xu Yi again, which made Xu Yi inevitably think that they had really given up on this idea.

For the sake of their own magic strength to improve. Xu Yi waited for almost two months to wait for the two elders to leave. When he temporarily recovered from his frenzied study of magic, he immediately found that he had accumulated a large number of things to deal with.

In mid-August, when the weather was at its hottest, Xu also appeared in the production base of several chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland.

In fact, it is not accurate to call this place a production base now, because since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really moved out of Bangta City and even the entire Lampari Kingdom, and then other chambers of commerce in Bangta City have also moved here, this production base that originally covered an area of less than 20,000 square meters has expanded dozens of times.

Today, the area is home to an industrial area of factories of all sizes, large and small, as well as a large residential area of neat houses built by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and a wide variety of shops in a variety of formats.

Add together some special facilities such as the Escort Training Base of the various chambers of commerce, the base trade management center, etc., and this whole area occupies a huge area of nearly ten square kilometers, which is comparable to the size of a medium-sized city in the Kingdom of Lampari.

Because of the concentration of various chambers of commerce and the concentration of factories, this area has a large population, and the prosperity is even enough to be compared with the previous Bangta City.

The president of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, Cruise, once suggested that this place should be developed as a brand new city, building a ring of walls on the periphery, and arranging defenses in the shape of a city, so as to prevent harassment from some orcs who are not long-sighted.

But this mention was rejected by Xu Yi.

The main reason for the veto is that this is just a commercial area created by the cooperation of various chambers of commerce, and it does not have the foundation to become an ordinary city in the first place.

Without administrative leadership, even though most chambers of commerce would respect the opinions of Xu Yi and Xinfei chambers of commerce, it would still be difficult to unify everyone together.

Secondly, Xu Yi does not want to turn this place into a traditional city on the Sainz continent, he hopes to make it a free trade center, and at the same time become the magical industrial center of the entire Sainz continent.

The Black Rice Wasteland is a very rare anarchy in the entire Sainz continent that has been led by the orc occupation, and it is very suitable for re-establishing a new order here.

Xu also has this ambition, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also has this strength, so from the very beginning, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been promoting this concept to everyone.

This place is a city of freedom, a city of commerce.

Of course, although it is not really a traditional city, it can still be named after a city.

For laziness reasons, this place was eventually named Black Rice City.

There is no city lord's mansion in Heimi City, and there is no city guard, basically all things, big and small, are decided by the business federation composed of individual chambers of commerce in Heimi City.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is one of the permanent directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi, as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, has a very high status in the Chamber of Commerce, and also has a strong influence in the entire Heimi City.

Even Varian Landis, the Admiral of the Lampari Kingdom's Zhenxi Army, who had more than 30,000 regular troops of the Lampari Kingdom in his hands, would be extremely warm and polite every time he saw Xu Yi, and did not show any of the condescending looks when he met with other merchants.

"President Xu, I've been waiting for more than a month, but I didn't expect you to show up today. Varian Landis said with a plaintive expression.

Xu Yi laughed: "I'm sorry, Admiral Lantis, I've been busy with a very important matter some time ago, and I really can't get out of it." However, Kennard said that his contact with you during this time has been very pleasant, so I don't need to worry too much. ”

"Of course, of course. Admiral Lantis nodded repeatedly. "I took the initiative to invite you, President Xu, to come, but I should be the one who needs to worry about something. ”

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Lord Admiral's words are serious. Kennard has told me in detail about your needs, and he has told me a lot of details. As a matter of principle, I don't have any reason to object, because it's just an ordinary deal, and it's normal for you to want to buy a military magic machine from our Chamber of Commerce, and we want to sell it at the same time. But ......"

Admiral Lantis didn't speak, staring at Xu Yi, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that Admiral Rantis did not take the initiative to mention it, Xu Yi had no choice but to cough lightly and continued: "But Lord Admiral, can you be sure that this transaction will not be interfered with by the military headquarters of the Lampari Kingdom? ”

Admiral Rantis smiled, "Kennard has asked me this question several times, and I answer him every time he doesn't need to worry. Now that you ask again, President Xu, I still answer this way. Chairman Xu, you don't have to worry about anything, I guarantee in my reputation that the military department will never interfere with this transaction. ”

"Well, since the Admiral has vouched for his reputation, then of course I believe it. Xu Yi nodded. So let's move on to the next question. To put it mildly, I'm sure that your Zhenxi Army won't be able to come up with that much money. So how are you going to pay our Chamber of Commerce for the gold needed to buy those military magic machines?"

Admiral Rantis had obviously already talked about Xu Yi's question, and when he heard the question, he just smiled, then beckoned to Xu Yi and led him into a side hall next to the living room.

The furnishings in the side hall are very simple, but there is a large map hanging on the wall facing the door, which almost fills the entire wall.

Admiral Lantis walked straight to the edge of the map, picked up a wooden stick like a whip, and placed it a little above the map.

"President Xu, do you see the markings here? This is an iron mine. Admiral Lantis said.

Xu Yi glanced at the red dot on the map on the top of the wooden stick and nodded slightly.

Admiral Rantis shifted the stick a little more, dotting it on another red dot.

"See the markings here? It's also an iron mine. ”

Xu Yi nodded again, but he was a little inexplicable in his heart.

Admiral Lantis then clicked several more times on the map, pointing out that the markings represented several iron mines, several magic crystal mines, and two non-ferrous metal mines.

"President Xu, do you think these mines are enough to pay for the purchase of military magic machinery from you?" asked Admiral Lantis.

Xu Yi was stunned, looked at the marks on the map that were pointed out by Admiral Rantis just now, and asked in amazement: "Lord Admiral, if I am not mistaken, these veins you just mentioned are all in the territory of the Sark Kingdom, right?"

Admiral Lantis smiled dangerously.

"It's just because it's in the territory of the Sark Kingdom, if it's in our Lampari Kingdom, I can't make an offer. ”

Xu Yi instantly caught Admiral Lantis's true intentions from his words, and couldn't help but shrink his eyes slightly.

This Admiral...... It's crazy enough. (To be continued......)
