Chapter 5: Hitchhiking
Two days later, a magic sedan sped away from the town of Arafat.
Winnie pulled back from the car window and looked back at her sister and brother-in-law who had disappeared in the distance, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
After a moment's pause, she turned her head to look at Havat sitting next to her, only to find that although there was also a trace of reluctance and trepidation in his expression, there was more excitement and anticipation.
Winnie couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched Havat's head, and asked gently, "Hawat, you are so big, it should be the first time you have left home so far, right?"
Havat thought for a moment, nodded vigorously, and replied loudly, "Well, I've only been to Moro City with my father before. ”
"Moro City, it's just over thirty kilometers from your house. But this time you're going to follow us more than a thousand kilometers away, are you afraid?" asked Winnie again.
Havat thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously.
"Don't be afraid, if you look at me, I'm not afraid. ”
Winnie smiled, patted his head again, took out some prepared snacks and candies from his bag and handed them to Havat, watching him eat happily, then she poked her head into the front seat of the magic car, and said to Joxiuan, who was driving, with some concern: "I think about it, I always feel that it is not reliable for you to let your brother-in-law serve as the dean of this junior college." ”
"Oh?" Joshua looked ahead, not looking back.
"Brother-in-law, you know, you don't even know a few words, but now you let him be the head of a junior college responsible for teaching children to read and write, this is not right, right? Suddenly made him the dean of an academy...... I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. ”
"Don't worry. It's not as hard as you think. Joshua replied with a smile. "The time really needed to start this junior college. We will also send corresponding professional personnel, from the construction of the academy to the subsequent operation, and most importantly, the teaching, in fact, there is no need for my brother-in-law to personally participate. In fact, I chose him to be the dean of this college only because the dean of this college must be a local person, and the rest is not important. ”
"But I'm always worried...... I was worried that my brother-in-law would not understand anything, and he would be deceived by those nobles and merchants in the town, and in the end, he would not be able to run this academy well. Winnie was still worried.
"You don't have to worry about that. We, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, were able to select Arafat Town as the first pilot of the infrastructure promotion program. That's the luck of the small town of Alatat. I'm sure both Viscount Resos and the Frankish Council are well aware of this. So they will definitely be very supportive of this matter, and ensure that it goes smoothly, and you don't need to worry about someone going to lie to your brother-in-law on this. ”
Winnie thought for a while, and couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling that what Joxiuan said made sense.
Since the fall of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce after the fall of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce five years ago, the status of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the entire Sainz Continent has changed dramatically in an instant.
If it was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that tried its best to obtain cooperation with various countries on the mainland, then in the past five years, all the countries on the mainland have been scrambling to find ways to seek opportunities for cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Falk Kingdom can be regarded as a very good kingdom, it is still extremely welcoming to the cooperation opportunities given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although the infrastructure promotion department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represented by Yue Xiu'an cannot be regarded as the production department directly under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. However, because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce takes infrastructure as a very important item when judging the level of magic industry owned by its strategic partners. And the proportion is very high, so a lot of countries are now taking this very seriously.
Now, on behalf of the Infrastructure Promotion Department specially created by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Jo Xiu'an has come to the Falke Kingdom, hoping to promote the infrastructure construction of the Falke Kingdom, which is equivalent to giving the Falke Kingdom an excellent opportunity.
Therefore, the Council of the Kingdom of Falk attaches great importance to this, and even directly approved an official document with very high authority to Joshuaan, so that he can conduct inspections in the Kingdom of Falk at will, and can choose ideal pilots at will to try to promote infrastructure construction.
The reason why Joshua chose the town of Alpha in the first step was, of course, because of Winnie's relationship.
But in fact, the current situation of Alphath Town is indeed suitable as a pilot.
The town is now connected by a road, and there is also a magic machine factory that has been established here for several years, so that the people in the town have a certain understanding of magic machinery and related new things, so there is no need for Joxiu An to start from scratch to popularize it.
Coupled with the existence of that magic machine factory, the town of Alpha has a certain economic foundation and the ability to continue to promote and expand the infrastructure.
This, combined with the town's location in the middle of the Kingdom of Falk, makes it a very suitable pilot site.
And the reason why Kompany was chosen to be the dean of the junior college created as a first step was precisely because of what Joshua had just said, purely because the college needed a local to serve as the dean.
Rather than inviting nobles with a certain reputation in the town to serve as deans, Joshua trusted Kompany more as his "own man".
Because this junior college was the first pilot, Joxiuan needed the person in charge of the place to be able to connect to the local area of the town and maintain a smooth relationship with him.
When these two requirements are combined, Kompany becomes the most suitable intermediary for this.
Although it is true that Kompany is lacking in many things because of his poor education and lack of knowledge, as Winnie fears, Kompany is not stupid, and Joshyan can see from his previous reaction to refusing Hanrucao cigarettes that he is an extremely principled and sober-minded man who is very suitable for the job.
As for the specific operation of the college, Jo Xiu'an is not worried.
Because in the past two years, the Infrastructure Promotion Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has carried out corresponding infrastructure promotion in the Principality of Stanting and the Kingdom of Lampari, and has reserved a lot of talents in the establishment of junior colleges. Joshua himself has accumulated a wealth of experience. There won't be any problems at all.
Kompany, the dean, is more symbolic than practical. So he doesn't have a lot of work to do.
And in doing so, Kompany's reputation in the small town of Alpha will be boosted, and his income will also increase, which is a perfect solution to Winnie's request that he can help his sister's family well.
As soon as he thought of this, Joxiu couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
It's rare to solve a problem that can be both public and private.
Joxiuan and his party did not leave the Falk Kingdom directly, but drove the magic car to the city of Farnes, the royal capital of the Falk Kingdom, about two hundred kilometers away from the town of Alphath, after a journey of about three hours.
The town of Alpha has been used as a pilot, although it has been communicated with the mayor of Alphat Town, Viscount Resos. But the real official process still has to go on, so Joshua must first come here and report to the Falk Kingdom Council for approval.
With the strong support of the Kingdom Council, there will be a lot of work left over for the establishment of a junior college in the small town of Alphath.
When he was still four or five kilometers away from the city of Frantis, Joshua had already seen a towering, very familiar minaret appear in the sky in front of him.
As soon as the minaret came into view, a crisp chirp suddenly sounded from Joshuaan's body.
Hawat, who had been asleep on the road, heard this sound and jumped to his feet, but his head slammed into the roof of the car, which immediately made him grin in pain.
"Be careful!" Winnie glared at him, pulled him back into his seat, and spread his hands over. He took out a small and delicate magic phone box from the right pocket of Joshua and pressed the button.
"Hey. Joshuaan, Winnie, you're already here?" a hearty, crisp female voice sounded in the magic call box.
"Well, Taylor, we're here, where are you now?" asked Winnie with a quick grin.
"We're still assembling the fourth Magic Tower, and if you look to the front right, you should be able to see us. ”
Winnie peeked out of the window and looked into the distance to the right in front of the magic car, and sure enough, she could see a thin spire rising in the far sky.
The erection of these magic signal towers around the city of Farantis is the first step of the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Falk to lay a magic signal communication network in the Kingdom of Falke.
If the tower is now successfully erected, the first phase of the mission will be completed, and the magic signal will cover the whole of Flantis City and a range of up to eight kilometers outside of Flantis.
Anyone who enters this magic signal range can use the magic phone box for unimpeded long-distance communication.
"Now that we're able to talk, does that prove that the Magic Tower has been erected?" asked Winnie again, turning into the magic box.
"Well, it's just the last step of the inspection procedure. What about Joshuaan?"
"Driving, what?"
"Give him the call box, and I'm going to explain something to him. ”
Winnie sighed and handed over the magic fairy tale box and placed it next to Joshua's ear.
"Hey, Taylor, what do you have to explain?"
"Are you and Winnie going back today or tomorrow?"
"Hmm...... I want to do my best, but I have to go to the Falk Kingdom Council to report to it. , so if nothing else, it should be tomorrow. How?"
"Then ......" Taylor on the other end of the magic call box seemed to hesitate, and after a pause, he continued: "Is it inconvenient for you to help me bring someone back?
Joxiuan frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Winnie, saw that she also frowned, and then made a gesture for him to ask again.
"Who's coming?" asked Joshua knowingly.
"A magician, he wants to join our Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Then why don't you tell him how to take the car and let him go by himself? Now from Flantis City to the main base of our Chamber of Commerce, at most, you only need to transfer two buses in the Principality of Draco and the Kingdom of Lampari respectively, and there is no much trouble. ”
"Hey, Joxiu'an, don't you want to bring it? If you don't want to bring it, just say it, I'll find someone else. ”
"I ......" Jo Xiu'an wanted to say that I really didn't want to bring it, but he changed his words in an instant. "I just think it's strange, there are so many magicians who come to the Chamber of Commerce to apply for jobs in other places, and most of them are looking for them by themselves, why did he let me bring them there?"
"Ahem...... He had a bit of a personal relationship with the engineering director we worked with here, and he had never been far away and didn't know the way, so he asked me to figure it out. Joxiuan, can you do me a favor? I'll treat you and Winnie to dinner when I get back. ”
Joxiuan reluctantly turned his head to look at Winnie, who rolled her eyes and nodded slightly.
Seeing Winnie's expression, Yoxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll go to the Kingdom Council first, and tomorrow I'll go to your engineering department, and you let him wait there. ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow. (To be continued......)
