Chapter 38: Revolutionaries
The Grand Magician of Truch left the Duchy of Stantin contentedly.
Although he has decided to join the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as one of the only five great magicians in the Lampari Kingdom, his every move will be watched by everyone, and it is impossible for him to do whatever he wants.
Joining the Magic Academy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will affect many things, and he must first return to the Lampari Kingdom to deal with these things properly before he can officially join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
And out of many considerations, Xu Yi did not plan to let him move directly to the Duchy of Stanting, like the Grand Magician Camilla, but let him stay in the Kingdom of Lampari to work for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi even asked the Grand Magician Truchi to set up an independent research institute for him, so that he could continue to stay in Anweimar City without even having to move his home.
It's just that this mention was rejected by the great magician Truchi.
Because Grand Magician Truqi believes that since he has decided to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then he can't just be superficial, but should really work and contribute to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
After negotiation between the two parties, Grand Magician Truchi finally decided to enter the branch of the Magic Research Institute in the Falling Rain Valley outside Bonta City, and mainly lead the research work there.
And because of the special attention of Grand Magician Truchi to the development of Carrasga Island, his initial plan is that the main research and development goal after joining the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is the magic ship.
I heard from Xu Yi that the cargo capacity of the magic steamer can actually exceed 10,000 tons, and the enthusiasm of the great magician Truqi for the magic steamship has surpassed the great magician Camilla, who was extremely interested in the magic steamer before.
As for the development plan around Carrasga Island given by Xu Yi, Grand Magician Truqi deeply agreed. The choice to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is even firmer.
Not long after sending off the Grand Magician Truchi. Another guest came to Xu Yi's private estate on a cliff.
But it's the Anglo that I haven't seen for a long time.
See Ankru again in the drawing room. Xu Yi immediately noticed that compared to the last time he saw him, Ankru at this time had changed dramatically.
This change is not only that the skin has become darker and rougher, but at the same time, the face has lost a lot of weight, but the body has become a lot stronger, but the whole person's temperament has produced a very obvious change.
The Ankroid used to look sharp, and people could tell at a glance the shrewdness in his eyes. Understand that he is definitely not a simple person.
Moreover, at that time, the Anglo was full of ideals, with sufficient motivation to move forward towards the goal, and the whole person seemed extremely energetic and full of sharpness.
However, now Ankru, the whole person has suddenly become extremely calm, and he can't see the slightest edge at all.
At first glance, it almost makes people ignore his existence zΓ i, where there is still a little bit of the sharp appearance of before.
However, after Xu Yi took a few serious looks, he found that the current Ankru had become much deeper than before, both in demeanor and mental temperament. Or rather, the city has deepened a lot, so that people will not have any contempt for him.
What surprised Xu Yi even more. As soon as you get close to Ankru, you can smell a hint of blood from him, and people can't help but feel a hint of danger in their hearts.
However, the surprise was only in Xu Yi's heart for a moment, and then turned into relief.
Whoever has experienced such an environmental change in a year like Ankreu is afraid that it will produce such a strong change as he is.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi showed a smile, took a glass of wine that Lisi had prepared a long time ago, and handed it over.
"How's it going? I haven't seen you for more than a year, how are you doing?"
Ankru took the wine and smiled slightly, the solemn expression on his face instantly faded a lot.
"It's fine. At least everything is still under control. β
"Really? That's good. Xu Yi nodded, took a sip of wine, and fell silent.
He didn't speak, and Ankru didn't even speak, and the two of them drank a sip of wine like this.
After drinking a glass of wine, seeing that Xu Yi was still silent, Ankru finally couldn't help it and asked, "President Xu, I want to ...... You should know what I'm here for. β
Xu Yi put down his wine glass, glanced at him, and nodded slightly.
"You're here to ask for weapons, aren't you?"
"Yes. β
"It's no problem to continue to provide you with weapons and equipment, but Ankru ......" Xu Yi paused, frowned, and continued: "The batch of weapons and equipment you purchased from our Chamber of Commerce last time is still a full 360,000 gold coins that have not been settled. I'll give you another word...... I can't explain it to the rest of the Chamber of Commerce. β
Ankru obviously expected Xu Yi to bring this up, and was not too surprised, nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. But Mr. Xu, this was originally your investment in me, wasn't it? Judging from the results so far, your investment should be very effective, at least you can sit here and drink with me leisurely. β
"Well, I'll admit it. Xu Yi nodded in response. "But this kind of thing, even if it doesn't work with you, I can do it, and it may even work better. And I and the Chamber of Commerce are not in trouble at all, can you sue me and continue to invest in you?"
"Of course there is!" Ankru said confidently, "Because I am different from all the other lords in the principality, as long as I become the master of this principality, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to make the magic industry the most important industry in our Duchy of Stantin! Not even the king of your Lampari Kingdom!"
Hearing Ankru mention the king of the Lampari Kingdom, Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Well, I'll admit you have a point. But Ankru, you are only a small viscount by now, and the territory you can rule is not even as large as our Xinfei Farm, how can I believe that you can become the ruler of this principality?"
"As long as you can continue to support me and provide me with enough weapons and equipment, I guarantee that this is an inevitable fact!" Ankrul let out a disdainful sneer. "The lords of the principality who only have fat in their heads, and the army under their command are at best a herd of sheep, how can they resist my footsteps. β
"Hmm...... I agree with that. You have exchanged fire with more than a dozen lords, large and small, in this year alone, and so far you have won all of them, and your combat effectiveness is indeed amazing. Xu Yi nodded in appreciation.
"So, as long as you can continue to give me enough support, then there is no need to guess the outcome. β
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, to be honest, I have already made a decision when I meet you." I can continue to support you, but Ankru, you can't invest all the time and not see any return, you should understand that. β
Ankru smiled, took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took it and took a look, and found that this stack of papers was about the transfer contract of two iron mines and four magic crystal mines, and the payment below indicated that the recipient was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Six mines, a lot of money. Xu Yi stretched out his finger and flicked the contract in his hand, squinted at Ankru, and chuckled: "But if I'm not mistaken, these six mines are not under your control so far, why did you transfer them to our Chamber of Commerce?"
"Just because I'm not under my control now doesn't mean I won't be there in the future. Ankru smiled. "As long as President Xu agrees to my request this time, then I promise that these six contracts will take effect within half a year at the latest. β
"Oh, is it?" Xu Yi carefully flipped through the six contracts and nodded slowly. "Okay, deal. β
Ankru immediately laughed out loud: "Okay, I know that President Xu is a smart person, and you are really refreshing." According to the old rules, tomorrow I will send someone to come and receive the goods. Other than that...... President Xu, I heard that your Chamber of Commerce has recently developed several new military magic machines?"
Xu Yi shook his head lightly and said indifferently: "I have no comment." β
Ankru stared at Xu Yi for a moment, then laughed again.
"Okay, that's it for now. In the future, if you would like to talk to me, President Xu, I would be more than happy to listen. β
After saying that, Ankru got up directly, saluted Xu Yi, and left.
Xu Yi didn't mean to keep him, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly spoke: "Anklu, I heard...... In the south of the principality, there are many people who accuse you of being a traitor?"
Ankru paused, paused for a moment before turning around, his face sinking like water, and snorted coldly: "It's just some defeated wild dogs barking wildly, it's not worth paying attention to." β
"Oh?
Ankru was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Maybe there will be many people who will scold me like this, but how many people in this country really regard it as a country......? Did this so-called principality really survive one day?"
Looking at the bitter expression on Ankru's face, thinking of the bitterness that Ankru had shown in front of him before, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort him.
"Well, even if I'm a traitor. But instead of letting the vast majority of the people in this country be oppressed and eroded by those moths for many years, it is better to overthrow them all and change the way. As long as the people of this country can live a real life, then what can a few scolds count?"
Watching Ankru's figure gradually disappear into the dark night outside the manor, Xu Yi shook his head and sighed lightly.
There have been many people like the AnkrΓ«ls on the planet, and most of them are called revolutionaries.
On the Sainz continent, as far as Xu Yi knows, it is the first in the history of the Sainz continent.
Revolutionaries on Earth have good and bad endings, but what about the Anglo endings?
Xu is not optimistic. (To be continued......)
