Entering the kingdom in December, the north is naturally much colder than the city of Bonta, which stretches out to the south.

Especially when the cool breeze blows by the river, it makes you feel a deep chill.

Even if Xu Yi had been prepared a long time ago and put on thick warm clothes in advance, he still couldn't resist the cold of the outside world, so he had to mobilize a trace of magic power to maintain a small fire-based magic array under his and Count Satsuma's feet, keeping the temperature around his body at an acceptable level.

Feeling the rapid rise in temperature around him, Count Satsuma glanced at the magic array that was emitting red light under Xu Yi's feet.

Even though Count Satsuma was not a magician, he could see how powerful the magic level needed to maintain such a magic array so accurately.

"Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your magic strength seems to have improved a lot. Before you came here, you must have taken the qualification exam for the Wizards' Guild in Anweimar City, right? How is it? What level of magician are you now?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The assessment of the eighth level magician just now, it is not very powerful. ”

"An eighth-level magician isn't strong enough?" Count Satsuma couldn't help but shake his head. "What kind of magician do you think is powerful?"

"Personally, I actually don't think a magician, no matter how strong he is, because he is just one person after all. Xu Yidao. "I always think that it is more powerful to improve the overall quantity through industrial production than the power of the individual. ”

Count Satsuma suddenly laughed: "You are really a merchant, not a magician. You have this idea because you haven't seen how powerful a truly powerful magician is. Suppose you've seen the power of a magister or even a great magister. I think your mind will definitely change. ”

"Oh, Lord Castle. Have you seen the power of the Magus and the Great Magister?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

Count Satsuma looked in the direction of the east. The expression was a little embarrassed.

"I once witnessed a battle between the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, in which four Magisters took part in the battle. In that battle, the Magister unleashed a spell powerful enough to destroy the world, even causing the entire sky to change color and the ground to shake. Even against thousands of soldiers, for these powerful magisters, it was just a matter of waving their hands. I think about it now. I still feel the fear in my heart. ”

"Is the Magister so strong?" Xu Yiwei thought about the situation described by Count Satsuma for a moment, thinking that if the Magister could wipe out thousands of soldiers with a single move, then it was no wonder that he could be worshiped by all the countries and people of all the people on the Continent of Sain. "And what about the Great Magister, isn't it ridiculously powerful?"

"I don't have the luck to witness the Archmage's move, and besides, there hasn't been an Archmage on the Sainz continent for many years. Count Satsuma shook his head. "However, judging from the records of the legend, the strength of the Great Magister is several times stronger than that of the Magister. It is said that the Grand Magister can even raze a city directly with a single move. ”

Xu Yi glanced back at the city of Sewell in the distance, and thought to himself that the city of Sewell could already be regarded as one of the largest cities in the north of the Lampari Kingdom, but compared to those real cities on the earth, it was countless times smaller in scale, only less than ten square kilometers in circumference.

And the most terrifying weapon on the planet, the nuclear bomb. It can even destroy a large city on earth with a single shot.

In this comparison, the Grand Magister is strong. But in terms of destructive power, it is still far inferior to a nuclear bomb after all.

Seeing that Xu Yi's face seemed to be a little disapproving, Count Satsuma was a little puzzled.

It is said that Xu Yi himself is a magician with quite good talent, and now he has become an eighth-level magician, and he can be regarded as a high-level magician in the magician circle, but why does he care so much about the power of magic, and even a little disdainful?

However, this was not a matter of concern to Count Satsuma, and seeing that Xu Yi was not particularly interested in this topic, he changed his mouth and began to discuss business with Xu Yi.

"Do you see this piece of land by the river?" Count Satsuma pointed to the wide flat land by the river in front of them, and stretched out his arm to draw a large circle. "The whole place here is specially set aside by me for you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a production base, what do you think?"

Xu Yi glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Lord Castle, you have experience in this area before, and the place chosen for us is of course very suitable, so I have no opinion. But there's a small problem......"

"Oh?

"You see, it's so cold here in the city of Sewell, the Sela River will freeze all over in winter, and even if the production base is placed by the river, I'm afraid that it won't be able to use this river, which is really a bit of a waste. ”

"It can't be helped, after all, this is the north, and the climate of the south is different from the city of Bangta, and there is no comparison in terms of natural conditions. Count Satsuma said helplessly. "However, the factory production of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is basically not affected by the climate, so there should be no problem. ”

"Well, it's mostly fine, but there are some small details that need to be dealt with, and I have to discuss it with the staff here. ”

Xu Yi was about to beckon the chamber of commerce assessors who were in charge of the on-site investigation in this open space at this time to come over, but Camby strode over from a distance.

"President, I found something strange, look at it. After nodding to Count Satsuma, Kambi handed Xu Yi a crystalline item that actually exuded a few traces of heat in this cold weather, and his body was transparent, but the middle was dyed a blood-red crystal.

After Xu Yi took it, he found that this lens actually felt a little soft in his hand, as if it was a piece of jelly, not a real crystal, and the surface was warm, and it felt very comfortable to put on his hand.

"This is our specialty soft mud magic crystal here, this one is red, it should be the crystal that mainly contains the magic of fire. Count Satsuma on the side glanced at it and explained.

"This thing is actually still a magic crystal?" Xu Yi glanced at the red clay-like lens in his hand in surprise. The magic in the body is slightly moving. Concentrate on it. Sure enough, the vibration of magic power was found in this lens, and the reaction to the fire type magic element was the strongest.

It's just that the magic content in this ooze mana crystal is very low, not only is it far from being compared with the standard mana crystals that Evita has recently researched after a physical examination, but it is even inferior to those ordinary mana crystals that can be seen everywhere on the market now.

"Well, it's because the magic in this thing is so weak that no one wants to mine it. Otherwise, this thing can be found everywhere outside the city of Sewell, and the city of Sewell would have been sold for a long time. Where is there any need to specially invite your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce over. Count Satsuma said.

Xu Yi played with the soft clay magic crystal in his hand, thought about it, and motioned for Camby and Count Satsuma to stay away from him, and then a large amount of magic energy poured in his body.

"Boom-"

A thick flame rose into the sky, rising several meters high in an instant, and it actually enveloped Xu Yi's whole person.

Camby and Count Satsuma on the side were startled and were about to call someone, but they saw the flames disappear abruptly, and Xu Yi reappeared in the same place intact.

"Whew......" Camby let out a long breath. "President, you're scaring me to death. ”

Count Satsuma also frowned and said, "It's too dangerous to do magic experiments. You should pay more attention. ”

Xu Yi laughed: "There's nothing to worry about, I'm a magician after all." How could he do such a stupid thing as playing with fire and self-immolation? But this ooze magic crystal ...... It's kind of interesting. ”

Count Satsuma and Camby looked at Xu Yi's palm together, but found that the piece of ooze magic crystal had disappeared, leaving only a lump of black-brown powder in Xu Yi's palm, which seemed to be the impurities left by the piece of ooze magic crystal.

"Lord City Lord, apart from this fire-type ooze magic crystal, which is particularly sensitive to fire-based magic elements, are there any other types?" Xu Yi asked.

"Last time, I heard from my subordinates that there were, but I don't know exactly what it was. Count Satsuma shook his head.

"Alright then, Canby, you go and explain, when they investigate, go collect some of these ooze magic crystals, and try to get some of them back in any shape and color, I want to bring them back to make relevant reals. ”

Seeing that Camby was leaving, the Earl of Satsuma asked curiously, "What? do you think this thing will be useful?"

"There's no way to draw conclusions just yet, but judging from what I just said, I think this thing might be of some use. Xu Yi nodded.

"Oh, if it really works, that's great. Count Satsuma said happily. "This thing is everywhere here, and if it can be valuable, it will be equivalent to opening up a rich source of wealth for the city of Thurwell, which will be very beneficial to the development of the whole city. ”

Xu Yi laughed: "Lord City, are you addicted to developing the city now, and you are not satisfied in Bangta City, so you ran to Sewell City to have a good time?"

Count Satsuma didn't look like he was smiling, and sighed lightly: "If you have the ability to change the lives of the people under your rule and let them all live a good life, what city lord is not willing to do so?"

Xu Yi fell silent because he remembered the Count Longli, the lord of Batru City, whom he had met before.

Although the political position is different, because he has the same idea as the Count of Satsuma, the Count of Longli is desperately saddled with the reputation of a traitor, but he also wants to invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter Batlu City for investment and construction, and also proposes to fully cooperate.

Isn't what he did to change the poverty of Batlu City and make it possible for the people below him to live a better life?

"I had a contact with this little Longli, who only took over the knighthood last year. It can be seen that he is a man with ideas, and he is not quite the same as his father. Hearing Xu Yi mention this, Count Satsuma nodded and expressed his appreciation for Count Longli. "If he can do that, it's a good thing for Batroux City. But this thing ...... But it's not something he can do if he wants to. It's up to him to deal with Prince Eric. ”

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "That's what I'm worried about. ”

Count Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi: "You are the same." If you want to cooperate with Batru City, you'd better communicate with Her Royal Highness. ”

Xu Yi nodded: "This is natural." (To be continued......)
