Chapter 85: Questioning from the Marshal

The expressions on the faces of Captain Uther and Count Zidal were unusually ugly.

"Have they all fled?" said Count Zidal's eyes with irrepressible shock. "With such a powerful offensive, you didn't leave them all behind......? It's incredible, isn't it?"

Captain Uther glanced at him, then turned to look at the only old man in the magic robe of the four.

"Master Jonah, what do you think?"

The old magician, who was called Master Jonah, also had an ugly face, and after looking left and right, he replied in a deep voice: "I made a mistake, I thought that an eighth-level magic was enough to keep them, but I didn't expect them to be able to carry it." ”

"You're a great magician, why don't you just use the forbidden spell? Now that they're all gone, our operation is a complete failure!, you know?" Count Zidal immediately roared loudly.

Master Jonah glanced at him coldly: "Do you think that forbidden spells don't need time to prepare? and the movement of forbidden spells is so big, they will definitely find out in advance, it is useless." ”

"Then at least use a ninth-level magic, isn't it?! What's the matter with eighth-level magic? Are you so stingy with your magic? Do you know how important this operation is? Do you know ......?"

Captain Uther frowned, raised his hand to stop Count Zidal's continued accusations, and looked at the remaining middle-aged man of the four, who was ordinary-looking, but also dressed in aristocratic clothing.

"Duke Roman, now this group of New Flying Chamber guards will definitely plan to flee back to the base they set up near Dro City, I need your Dero Kingdom to help us stop them on the way. ”

The middle-aged man known as Duke Roman nodded: "No problem. It is still more than 500 kilometers away from the base of the city of Dro. They don't have a magic locomotive to get around. It takes at least a few days to get there on foot alone. We had plenty of time to catch them. ”

Speaking of this, Duke Roman smiled: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although this miss made them run, they couldn't escape from our Dero kingdom anyway. Besides, what if we let them run back to the base? Maybe by the time they get there, the base will already be in our hands, isn't it?"

"Hmm. Captain Uther nodded slightly, and then said to Master Jonah and Count Zidal, "Without further ado, we need to act now." Master Jonah, you act with us. My lord, I would like to ask you to go back. Report the information here yourself. How we act next depends on how the Empire progresses. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

After a brief discussion, the four of them left together.

When silence regained here, the figure of an elven warrior gradually appeared on a large tree about a hundred meters away from where the four of them had just stood.

He glanced down at the miniature magic illusion camera in his hand, and made sure that he had recorded everything he had just seen, so he carefully put it away, and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

###

Wimbledon, the capital of the Candela Empire, is about 2,000 kilometers away from the Namtso Mine in a straight line. However, because it is located in the northwest direction, it is calculated according to the latitude on the earth. In fact, it's about a time zone apart.

So when the sun has completely covered the entire Namco mine, Wimbledon has only seen the rising sun.

At this time, Xu Yi had already gotten up from the bed.

After doing gymnastics as usual, the two maids pushed the door in, intending to serve Xu Yi to get up.

Xu Yi waved his hand, waved them away, and went straight to the front hall.

After waiting for a while, Count Raphael Erwin, the head of the Candela Empire's Magical Industry Management Department, was late.

"President Xu, you woke up so early. I thought you were used to the warmth and fragrance at home, and you won't get up until the sun rises. Earl Erwin laughed and greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"I don't have the habits of the rotten aristocracy. Xu Yi glanced at Earl Erwin and got up directly. "Let's go, let's hurry up and try to solve the problem today. ”

Earl Erwin was slightly stunned: "President Xu, don't be in such a hurry, right? You finally came to Wimbledon City, you should play here for two more days." I've got a lot of good shows for today, you see, we're going to have breakfast now, and then we're going to ......."

"It's not settled, I don't have the heart to play. Xu Yi shook his head and unceremoniously rejected Earl Erwin's kindness. "Or do you have no intention of solving the problem on the part of the Candela Empire?"

This sentence was very unkind, and the smile on Earl Erwin's face stiffened slightly, and then he smiled reluctantly: "How come, we invited President Xu to be your guest this time, just to discuss how to solve the problem." ”

Xu Yi looked directly into Earl Erwin's eyes, and said seriously word by word: "Lord Earl, I have wasted two days here, and I can't continue to waste it. Do you see what I mean?"

"In fact, even if President Xu doesn't say it, we still have the same mind to solve the problem. The first two days were just a little bit of preparation, but now that it's ready, President Xu, please come with me. ”

Xu Yi nodded, followed Earl Erwin out and got into a magic car, and then drove all the way out of Wimbledon City, speeding towards the east of the city.

"Lord Earl, where are you going?" Xu Yi asked with a frown.

"Let's reveal a little to President Xu first. Earl Erwin lowered his voice. "This clash between our two sides is actually related to some big figure in the military, and it is better to reach a consensus with the military before we go into discussions. I heard that President Xu had come to Wimbledon, and this military dignitary asked to meet you. ”

"The big man in the military?" Xu Yi wondered.

Could it be that this time the Kandela Empire suddenly insisted on intervening in this bloody conflict in Namco, and even sent an army of 2,000 people to the Namco Mine, because of the intention of the Kandela Empire's military?

Hold this question. The Magic Sedan drove fast for an hour or so. Entered a field to the north of Wimbledon. Finally, we drove into a very large manor.

As soon as Xu Yigang stepped out of the magic car, he saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers surrounding him.

This alone already reflects the difference of the owner of this manor.

At most, the other nobles would have some personal guards in their estates, but in this manor, there were regular Imperial soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Candela Empire.

Earl Erwin, who had disembarked from the other side, saw the soldiers surrounding him, and obediently raised his hands, allowing them to come up and touch him.

Seeing Xu Yi's strange eyes, Earl Erwin smiled and said, "This is the rule of coming here. I would also like to ask for your understanding, President Xu. ”

Xu Yi was surprised.

It is said that Earl Erwin is now the head of the Candela Empire's Magical Industry Management Department, which can be regarded as a high authority, but after coming to this manor, he still has to accept such a body search, can it be said that the owner of this manor is a big man who is far from being as good as him?

Even if you go to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire, that's it......

Thinking about it, Xu Yi still raised his hands very cooperatively.

But as the soldiers were about to touch him, an old but heroic laugh suddenly rang out.

"Alright, let's all stand down. President Xu is a powerful great magician, and weapons are not important to him at all. ”

Xu Yi looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a man with white hair. The figure is very strong, and his face is full of red light. An old man in a military uniform strode over.

"President Xu, when we first met, I was surprised that you were so young. The old man in military uniform laughed and said, "I'm Campbell Sudirman, and I think you've heard my name." ”

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Marshal of the Candela Empire, how could I not have heard of the name of the famous Candela God of War." ”

"Haha, what god of war, that's all in the past. Since becoming this bullshit marshal, I haven't been on the battlefield myself for nearly twenty years. Marshal Sudirman shook his hand and laughed loudly.

Xu Yi nodded lightly.

According to the data, this marshal, who has a very high reputation in the Candela Empire, and is not even inferior to the emperor in the eyes of most Candela Empire people, has not personally participated in the battlefield since the great war with the Maro Empire nineteen years ago.

But this has nothing to do with him, and after a pause, Xu Yi frowned and asked, "Lord Marshal, I don't know what you summoned me for this time?"

"Okay! Refreshing!" Marshal Sudirman gave Xu Yi a thumbs up in appreciation, then grabbed Xu Yi's arm and pulled him towards the manor. "Anything has to be done after we go in. Although I am a rough person, I still know the basics of hospitality. ”

Marshal Sudirman had a lot of strength, and Xu Yi was dragged by him, so he could only move forward involuntarily.

When he looked back, he saw that Earl Erwin had not followed.

It seems that this is a meeting specially prepared by Marshal Sudirman to meet Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was still very puzzled in his heart.

After all, he is just a businessman, and it stands to reason that he has nothing to do with Marshal Sudirman, the most prestigious in the military of the Candela Empire, why did Marshal Sudirman specifically want to meet him?

The two of them soon arrived at the meeting room in the middle of the manor.

After taking their seats, Marshal Sudirman glanced Xu Yi up and down, and asked, "President Xu, I don't like to talk nonsense, I came to see you this time just to ask you a question." Please answer truthfully. ”

"Please. ”

"Is it true that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will never transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Candela Empire?"

Xu Yi was stunned.

I didn't expect Marshal Sudirman to ask such a sensitive question as soon as he opened his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yi shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Marshal, according to the strategic partnership agreement signed between our two sides, we are gradually transferring the technology related to military magic machinery according to the development of the magic industry within the empire, and there is no intention of not wanting to transfer it at all. ”

"Phew! What's the use of those shoddy things, for our empire, it's no different from nothing. Marshal Sudirman said disdainfully.

"Your Excellency, you can't say that. Everything needs to be done step by step, especially military magic machinery, which requires a long time of accumulation to be completely mastered. I'm going to ...... them now."

"So you still won't give us those techniques after all, right?" Marshal Sudirman unceremoniously interrupted Xu Yi's words.

Xu Yi frowned: "Lord Marshal, I think I have made it very clear. Moreover, our Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with your country for so long, and we have talked about these truths countless times, and I don't believe you don't understand. ”

"I understand. That's why I'm looking for you this time, just to give you one last chance. Marshal Sudirman's eyes suddenly became very sharp when he looked at Xu Yi. "But obviously, you're not going to take this opportunity to the most numerous. Let me ask you again, would you like to transfer the technology of military magic machinery to our Candela Empire?"

Xu Yi felt a sense of danger in his heart, and frowned at Marshal Sudirman.

"What do you mean, Marshal?" (to be continued......)
