Chapter 133: Ludy's Late-Night Invitation
After the year-end banquet of the City Lord's Mansion, it was already dark at night, and there was no moon in the night sky tonight, and there were not a few stars in sight, so as soon as he left the City Lord's Mansion and was out of the light, he would fall into darkness.
Xu Yi walked quickly into the darkness of the street corner, and when he saw that no one was chasing after him, he let out a long breath and relaxed.
When he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion just now, several noble ladies chased after him and invited Xu Yi again to spend the night together.
Among them, there was even a noble lady who took Xu Yi's hand extremely boldly and poked it into her neckline, and directly pressed Xu Yi's hand on the plump mass on her chest, which frightened Xu Yi and immediately withdrew his hand and fled.
Looking down at the plump right hand that he had just touched, Xu Yi shook his head self-deprecatingly, thinking that if he hadn't been thinking about Steele, he would have been a little unable to control it and be eaten alive by these noble ladies.
After calming down, Xu Yi confirmed the direction and walked towards his home in the city.
Every time after attending a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion, he used to walk directly over.
First, because the journey is not far, and second, while walking, think about the various problems encountered at the banquet.
Now he was thinking about the convoy that President Cruise had just mentioned.
As President Cruise said, the continent of Sainz is not as peaceful as the heavens on the earth, because of the inconvenience of transportation and communication, coupled with the backwardness of the social form, there are still bandits in many places.
Therefore, the general slightly larger chambers of commerce will have their own escort team, and even if the small chamber of commerce transports goods, most of them will ask some guards to protect the safety of the goods.
Otherwise. Even if a batch of goods is snatched casually, it may be a catastrophe for some small chambers of commerce.
The Kingdom of Lampari is currently socially stable. There is not much need to worry about this problem yet, but it seems that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is about to cooperate with the Kingdom of Ruerson and the Duchy of Stantin. It's hard to guarantee that something won't go wrong.
What's more, the most realistic problem at the moment is the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland.
If the corresponding factory of the mine near the Worrall werewolf tribe is established, because the mine is a cooperation between the three companies, it can also let the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Renekton Chamber of Commerce be responsible for the protection work, and it is a big deal that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will give up a part of the profits.
However, the non-ferrous metal smelting plant was founded solely by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and when President Cruise and President Resa proposed cooperation, Xu Yi refused, so of course he couldn't ask them to help take care of it now.
So President Cruise is right, the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce must be established.
As for Xu Yi's advantages over other chambers of commerce, of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only has cooperative relations with many dwarf tribes and elf tribes, but even employs a large number of dwarf workers and elf workers.
With this layer of relationship. If Xu Yi asked them to want the dwarves and elves to enter the Chamber of Commerce Guard, it should not be a difficult task.
On the continent of Sainz, there are some recognized evaluations of various races, such as the creative power and learning ability of human beings, the talent of dwarves in forging, the special aesthetic attainments of elves, and so on...... It should be said that each has its own strengths.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the individual combat effectiveness of human beings has always been recognized as the lowest.
Except for powerful magicians, there are only a handful of samurai in the human race who can match other races in terms of individual combat effectiveness.
The reason why humans were able to snatch the dominance of this continent from the elves back then. And it overwhelmed all other races, relying on the great discipline and teamwork of the human race, and of course, the fertility rate of the human race......
However, even if humans have ruled this continent for thousands of years, they have to admit this disparity in individual combat effectiveness.
According to public opinion. An adult warrior of the elven race can even surpass at least five ordinary human warriors in combat power alone. And if you fight in the jungle or at night, an elven warrior can even take out an entire team of human soldiers on his own.
The dwarves are not as elven as elves. Difficult to cope with, but because dwarves are born with amazing bodies. Extremely powerful, and naturally skilled in weapons. Any adult dwarf can take on three to five human warriors if he picks up a weapon.
And if it is a trained dwarven warrior, it is not a problem to deal with ten human warriors alone.
And the discipline and teamwork ability of the dwarves are the strongest among other races except humans, if a team of dwarven warriors is combined, then with their strong individual combat effectiveness, even the same number of elves can only temporarily retreat.
Of course, the downside of the dwarves is that they can't learn magic anyway.
The Creator's compensation for them was that they were born with a high resistance to magic, and ordinary low-level magic could not hurt them in the slightest.
In general, if a chamber of commerce's escort team can recruit dwarves and elves as guards, then its combat effectiveness will naturally far exceed that of ordinary guards.
It's just that since the race war thousands of years ago, other races have gradually moved away from human life, and naturally no chamber of commerce can hire guards from other races.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has this condition, Xu Yi naturally thought of this for the first time.
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh as he walked while imagining that after the Chamber of Commerce established an escort team, it was full of dwarves and elves.
Patronizing him was happy, but he didn't even notice the sound of someone shouting at him on the side of the road.
It wasn't until the man raised his voice to the point of almost shouting that Xu Yi woke up from his reverie and looked over in astonishment.
"Ludy?" and then the glow of the magic lamp in the house behind him, Xu Yi saw clearly that the person who called out to him was actually Ludy, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
Since Grand Magician Camilla announced the closure of the Grand Magician Tower, some of the magicians in the Wizard Tower have chosen to follow Grand Magician Camilla to join the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but more magicians still choose to continue to pursue the path of studying magic and find another way.
Luty was one of them, and is said to have left Bonta City to pursue a quest to improve her magical prowess.
Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to this, but she didn't expect her to come back suddenly today.
Suddenly seeing his former colleagues in the same research room, Xu Yi was a little surprised, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "What? Come back for the New Year? But I remember that your home is not in Kalmar City? Why are you here now?"
After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the small building behind Ludy, but remembered that he had never been to Ludy's house before, so he naturally didn't know if this was her previous residence when she was in Bonta City.
"I went out for a few months and found myself still more used to life in Bonta City, so I came back. Rudy replied with a slightly reluctant smile. "Xu Yi, I heard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is stronger now than before, and you are still being made a baron by His Majesty the King?"
"Where did you hear that?" Xu Yi asked with a smile as he looked at Ludy.
After a few months of not seeing her, Luty seemed to be a little thinner and a little haggard than when she was in the research room, but she still had a bright smile, and there was no difference from before.
Thinking that Ludy was the only person in the research room who showed kindness to him when he first entered the research room, Xu Yi felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
"I've been back for a few days, and I just had a meal with Wella and Salsa yesterday and listened to them. Luty explained. "I couldn't sleep today, but I didn't expect to suddenly see you passing by, so I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, and rushed down and shouted to stop you. ”
Seeing Ludy's somewhat excited appearance, Xu Yi smiled and said, "I'm very happy to see you again." How are you doing outside these months?"
The smile on Ludy's face suddenly retracted, and she shook her head slightly: "It's not good, I'm coming back this time, it's just ......"
Ludy shuddered, paused, turned sideways, and made an inviting gesture and said, "It's cold outside." Xu Yi, since it happened to meet, why don't you go in and sit down, let's have a good chat. ”
Xu Yi glanced up at the sky and frowned: "It's so late, it's not very convenient." ”
Ludy covered her mouth and smiled: "What? I didn't even say anything, are you still afraid that I will eat you?"
Xu Yi thought of the overly enthusiastic aristocratic ladies just now, and thought to himself that this was not an impossible thing.
Seeing that Xu Yi seemed to be refusing, Ludi suddenly showed a pleading expression and said, "Xu Yi, go in and talk, I have something I want to tell you." Other than that...... Actually, I want to ask you for one thing......"
Seeing the expression on Lucy's face, Xu Yi vaguely guessed that she would probably talk to him about something.
"Ludy, you are old colleagues from the past, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help. But it's too late today to be appropriate. In this way, let's make an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow and have a good talk, okay?" Xu Yi thought for a while.
Rudy frowned, a heavy disappointment appeared on her face, and shook her head slightly, "I know, you're going to reject me, aren't you?" When a big man like you says that, he must be shirking. ”
"I don't have ......"
"Then you won't even go in and sit!" Ludy directly interrupted Xu Yi's words.
Seeing that Ludi was unwilling to be disappointed, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh, remembering that it was Ludi who took care of him in the Magician Tower, his heart softened, and he nodded lightly: "Okay, let's go up and talk." ”
Ludy suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and hurriedly smiled and took Xu Yi's arm and pulled him into the door of the small building behind her.
Neither of them noticed that in the shadows across the street, a pair of large eyes were staring intently at their backs. (To be continued......)
