Chapter 90: Treason

After the negotiation with the Ruerson Kingdom was concluded, Xu Yi and Kennard left the Ruerson Kingdom at the same time.

Kennard went to the small town of Ampliston in the Duchy of Mirando to inspect the progress of the construction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce factory there, and Xu Yi entered the kingdom of Lampari according to the scheduled itinerary.

It has been nearly half a year since he left Bangta City last time, and Xu Yi returned here this time, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although from the outside, Bangta City has not changed much compared to when he left, but it is precisely because there is no change that Xu Yi is extremely emotional.

I think that when he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in Bangta City, there would be a little new change in Bangta City almost every day, and if they didn't see each other after half a year, they would even become unrecognizable.

And now Xu Yi has been away for half a year, but there has been no change in Bang Ta City, which shows that Bang Ta City has actually entered a state of stagnation in the past six months, and there is no development at all.

The city, which had always seemed vibrant in previous years, was now in a dead silence.

Looking at the rainy roads outside the city that were cracked everywhere because of no maintenance, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

In the past few years, this road has been considered the most important road in Bonta City, and has even been called the "Road to Wealth" by many people in Bonta City, with countless horse-drawn carriages and magic locomotives running back and forth on this road almost every day and every hour, and countless pedestrians shuttling back and forth on it.

Now, however, Xu Yi had been standing by the road for a full ten minutes, only to see three carriages running past it, two of which were obviously just the most ordinary old-fashioned manned carriages, and only one was a carriage loaded with goods.

Glance at the far end of the Rainfall Highway connecting the Rainfall Valley to the west. Xu Yi turned his head to look to the east, and in the distance, he could faintly see the old city of Bangta City, which had fallen a little. I couldn't help but shake my head.

No matter how close the city was with him before. But now that he has been separated from this city, then what has become of this city is none of his business, and he has no ability and qualifications to care.

No matter what the Lampari Kingdom tosses Bang Ta City into, the consequences will be borne by Bang Ta City and the Lampari Kingdom themselves, but Xu Yi does not need to pay attention to it.

However, for Xu Yi, there are some people he has to pay attention to, that is, the students of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic.

More than three years ago, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce set up a special bursary fund at Baron Rickto's Academy of Magic to support the students of the academy. Encourage them to continue their studies.

Now, more than three years have passed, and the students who received the help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Bursary Fund have graduated two batches ahead of schedule, and most of them finally chose to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

At present, many of the magicians in charge of drawing magic arrays for various magic machines in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are students of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic.

Now, more than three years later, the first batch of students who received the most help from the bursary fund graduated this year, and Xu Yi made a special trip back to Bangta City this time to meet these students in person.

The two batches of students who graduated before were ordinary students of the Academy of Magic, and for Xu Yi, there was not much difference between them and the magicians recruited by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, this batch of students who graduated this year were instructed by Xu Yi from the very beginning, and they took into account the knowledge of mechanical theory while learning magic knowledge. At the same time, during these three years, he kept learning the knowledge of combining magic and mechanics.

During these three years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also create a lot of practical opportunities for these students. As a result, they have not yet graduated from Baron Ricto's School of Magic, and they already have a considerable foundation in the theory and practice of magical machinery.

Such a magician is the kind of magical mechanical engineer that Xu Yi really values, and has both magic and mechanical knowledge...... Alternate, of course.

If they can enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to work for a few years, Xu Yi believes that it will not be long before they can train magical mechanical engineers who can really come in handy.

Xu Yi's actions at Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic were smooth.

Over the years, Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic has been injected with funds from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has left the Kingdom of Lampari in the past year, there has never been a shortage of funds, so no matter what, Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic has always supported Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce is now coming to reap the fruits of the previous planting, and Baron Rictor's Academy of Magic has only joy and no thought of refusal.

And those students are even more excited, and they can't wait.

They have accepted a three-year grant from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they have basically determined that they will work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after graduation, both emotionally and under the constraints of the original agreement.

In addition, they learned a lot about mechanical engineering while studying magic in these three years, which made them know that the best job for them was to work in magical machinery.

And if it is related to magic machinery, which chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent can be compared to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

The salary of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is high, the treatment is good, and the benefits are varied, and it is the dream of many people to be able to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now that they have this opportunity to directly choose to enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no student will think of refusing at all.

Therefore, for Xu Yi's arrival, almost all the students who have received the financial support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have expressed their extreme welcome.

Originally, the graduation of the students of the academy occasionally carried a touch of sadness, and there were even some sentimental little girls who would cry and cry for the separation of their classmates, but this year's graduation ceremony of Baron Ricktor's Academy of Magic was a scene of joy and harmony, which was very different from previous years.

However...... The peaceful atmosphere was ruined by a group of heavily armed Bonta City guards who burst into the academy.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that it was Chobonna, the leader of the city guards of Bonta City, who ran to the front and led the city guards, Baron Rictor's head of the magic academy, Fridinger, was shocked.

What the hell happened that the commander of the city guard army would personally come out?

Chopina, however, completely ignored Fridinger's questioning and turned his head. His eyes were locked on Xu Yi, who was surrounded by a pair of students. With a wave of the hand. The city guards behind him immediately swarmed up, pushing all the surrounding students away, and surrounding Xu Yi in the middle.

Looking at the tightly guarded and hostile posture of the surrounding city guards, everyone was stunned.

Xu Yi was even more inexplicable, glanced at Chopin in surprise, and asked, "Commander Chopin, what are you doing? Did I commit something?"

Although the new flying merchant was forced to leave the Lampari Kingdom by the Magical Industry Administration before. But this is all a unilateral problem of the Magic Industry Administration, and neither the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nor Xu Yi can find any fault.

What's more, the officials of the Lampari Kingdom were unwilling to make things so stiff, so Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left the Lampari Kingdom peacefully.

On the official side of the Lampari Kingdom, Xu Yi is still a citizen of the Lampari Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still the Chamber of Commerce of the Lampari Kingdom.

Xu Yi wanted to return to the Lampari Kingdom completely casually, he had come back several times before, and there was no problem.

Why did you suddenly make this scene today?

Chopin's expression was stern, and he said to Xu Yi in a loud voice: "Xu Yi, I advise you not to try to resist in vain, and surrender obediently." Otherwise. We have the right to kill you on the spot!"

"Kill on the spot?" Xu Yi suddenly smiled, and turned his head to look at the circle of city guards surrounding him. Shaking his head, he said, "I said Chopin's commander, you should know my magical strength, don't you think it's ridiculous to say such things?"

Chopina obviously understood this, so his expression was slightly nervous, he paused, and shouted again: "Xu Yi, I warn you, no matter how strong your magic strength is, you are only one person, and it is impossible to compete with the entire Lampari Kingdom. If you are smart, you will surrender obediently, and maybe you can save your life. If you really dare to resist, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the dean, director, teachers, and students of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic, and found that they were all inexplicably baffled just like himself.

I said...... Commander Chopin, you keep saying that you want to arrest me, you have to tell me what I have done, right?

Chopin's face sank: "Xu Yi, what you have committed is the most severe crime of treason! Originally, it was considered a great evil, but His Majesty the King has given you a special favor and exempted you from the death penalty, as long as you go with us to see His Majesty the King immediately, you can save your life." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar around them.

Treason?

When did Xu Yi commit treason?

Xu Yi is even more inexplicable.

"What am I traitorous?"

"The specific charges will naturally be known when you see His Majesty the King. Now you just have to fight obediently. Chopin snapped: "Once again, I warn you not to try to resist. Otherwise, you will be directly convicted of treason, and from then on you will be wanted throughout the kingdom. All the properties left in the kingdom by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be directly confiscated by the kingdom council. So I advise you to think it through. ”

Xu Yi sneered in his heart.

After doing it for a long time, these guys in the Lampari Kingdom even wanted to directly encroach on the foundation that they left behind as tinder, which really didn't leave him half a penny.

Immediately, I felt a little strange.

Previously, the official attitude of the Lampari Kingdom towards him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had always been very **, although they were excluded everywhere, they never did things to death.

Even since the beginning of the previous months, there has been a noticeable easing of the attitude of the Lampari Kingdom officials towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Last month, in the two cities, they even took the initiative to ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a joint venture.

This qiē indication indicates that the officials of the Lampari Kingdom seem to want to restore the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi originally guessed that it was King Eric's attitude that had changed, which led to these changes.

But now this sudden so-called "treason" charge is clearly trying to completely block the way for Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to return to the Lampari Kingdom.

Could it be that King Eric has suddenly changed his attitude again?

Chopin didn't give Xu Yi more time to think, as soon as his voice fell, with a wave of his hand, the city guards surrounding Xu Yi stepped forward one after another.

Looking at this posture, they were obviously ready to directly restrain Xu Yi.

Xu Yi frowned, the magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and he was ready to make a move.

It was absolutely impossible to be captured by these city guards, and he was not sure of the attitude of King Eric now.

Here he can still advance and retreat freely, but when he really goes to Anweimar City, there are still enough people in Anweimar City to restrain him.

But this raises another problem.

It is impossible for the Lampari Kingdom to be completely unaware of his magical prowess, but to send such a small group of city guards to claim to capture him is clearly an impossible task.

So what exactly is the Lampari Kingdom thinking?

Was it simply to force him out of the kingdom of Lampari?

Just as Xu Yi's countless thoughts were turning over in his mind, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the academy.

A moment later, a neat column of cavalry galloped from the academy gates.

Seeing the face of the cavalryman in the lead, Xu Yi was stunned.

"Wouldn't she, wouldn't she?" (to be continued......)
