Chapter 82: Prince Frank is Coming Too?
It's another year of spring flowers.
Every year in April, the Bonta City Road Cycling Race is held, which makes the city extremely lively.
Due to the success of last year's New Flying Cycling Championship, more and more people are paying attention to the Bonta City Road Cycling Championship.
Last year, it was the first year that the event was held, and there were only a few teams from the Chamber of Commerce participating in the race, so it didn't attract much attention.
But when the final leg of the New Flying Cycling Championship ended at the end of last year, and the overall champion of the year was decided, and it was announced that the winner had received a whopping 84,000 gold coins for the year, the event immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Before, everyone regarded the highest prize fund of this event as a slogan, and not many people really believed it.
But when the 84,000 gold coins of the championship were handed over to the championship drivers by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in front of countless people, the event immediately caused a sensation.
As a result, the opening of the second Xinfei Bicycle Championship this year has attracted the attention of countless people, and even Cheng Dù has even surpassed the Bangta City Road Cycling Race.
Of course, the Bang Ta City Road Cycling Race was not left out in the cold, because the top three finishers in the Bang Ta City Road Cycling Race last year were recruited into the team by three cyclists who participated in the New Flying Bicycle Championship, and became professional riders, and last year they received a staggering 2,000 gold coins on their base salary alone.
If anyone wins this year's Bonta City Road Cycling Race, they will surely get the attention of those chambers of commerce as well. Recruited into the professional cycling team.
So whether it is for the slogan of "participation first". I came with the dream of becoming a professional driver in the end. Overall, this year's Bonta City Road Cycling Race has once again seen a record number of 96,000 participants.
You know, even now, because of the factories that are full of outsiders who have come from afar to work here, the total population of Bangta City is just over 300,000.
Ninety-six thousand, in the rest of the kingdom of Lampari, is a huge population that can only be achieved by the most elite cities.
Because the number of people was far beyond the budget, the Bonta City Road Cycling Race, which had been completed in one day for many years, was forced to split into two days. The contestants are divided into two batches for the competition, and the results are calculated according to the end time.
Being able to gather so many people at once is unique in the Sainz continent, and even very rare in the entire history of the Sainz continent.
Therefore, every year, the Bonta City Road Cycling Race is very important to both the Bonta City and the entire Lampari Kingdom.
In addition to avoiding all sorts of surprises due to the large number of participants, it is also because the event is a better way to show the outside world the image of the city of Bonta and the kingdom of Lampari.
Since several years ago, people from other countries have traveled thousands of miles to participate in this race, and when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announced that the New Flying Cycling Championship is not limited to the nationality of the participating riders, this year there are countless times more foreigners who come to participate in the Bonta City Road Cycling Race.
In addition to the contestants from several countries around the kingdom of Lampari. This year, there are even a few contestants from the Candela Empire mixed in.
"President Xu, did you arrange these three people?" Count Revere's gaze swept over the three Candela Empire contestants who were being surrounded by reporters from the Bonta Daily in the distance. Turning his head to Xu Yi beside him, he asked.
"No, it's all their own interest in the game, it has nothing to do with me. Xu also shook his head in denial.
"But I see that under the three of their butts are the latest special model bicycles for the Swordfish Road Cycling Race launched by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and this model of bicycle is only limited to 5,000 in the first batch of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now you can't buy it in Bangta City. Do you want to tell me that these three strangers can buy it casually?" Count Revere apparently did not believe it.
"Maybe they have their own channels. It's not strange, isn't it?" Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly.
Count Revere squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Yi, seeing that he was not ready to give any explanation, he shook his head and didn't ask any more.
"Alright then, these three people leave it alone. But Chairman Xu, you should explain something about the Magic Car Championship, right?"
"Hmm, Lord Earl, is there anything you don't understand?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.
"What don't you understand?" said Count Revere, scoffing. "There are so many things I don't understand! President Xu, you told me that this Magic Car Championship was just a business event that you could participate in freely after the model of the Bangta City Road Cycling Race, so why do you have to limit the status of participants now? Do you know that many young people from aristocratic families in Bangta City are preparing to participate in this race, but now they are blocked by your words. Do you know how many times they've protested to me these days?"
Xu Yi laughed: "Thank them for their love for this event, but it's a pity that this time the competition must make some restrictions, otherwise I am afraid it will cause big trouble." ”
Count Revere frowned slightly: "What? President Xu, aren't you going to explain? I'm the lord of Bangta City, and since this event is held in Bangta City, I must ensure that it is under my control." Do you understand?"
"I understand. Xu Yi nodded, but his expression did not loosen. "But Lord Earl, this matter ...... In fact, it is not under your control for the time being, because ...... Her Majesty the Queen was already aware of the matter and approved my approach. I think you should soon receive the will of Her Majesty the Queen. ”
Count Revere frowned and looked at Xu Yi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes and a trace of shock in his heart.
He wondered why this amateur magic car competition organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had attracted the attention of Her Majesty the Queen.
And what shocked him was that this matter had actually been approved by Her Majesty the Queen, but he had not received any will so far.
He considered himself one of the Queen's closest confidants, but now he didn't know as much about the matter as he had so close ties to Bonta City.
It can be seen that the relationship between Her Majesty the Queen and Xu Yi is far closer than everyone imagined.
Thinking of some rumors circulating in the Lampari Kingdom before, Count Revere's gaze at Xu Yi instantly became extremely complicated.
Xu Yi didn't notice Count Revere's expression, and when Count Revere asked about the Magic Car Championship, he was actually a little strange in his heart.
Because...... This time, the competition was attended by representatives sent by Prince Frank.
When Baron Billier went to the Duchy of Stanting a month ago to tell Xu Yi that Prince Frank wanted to participate in the Magic Car Championship in Bonta City, Xu Yi was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue off.
When he secretly infiltrated the territory of the Candela Empire and met with him in Prince Frank's private estate, he only saw his butler, Xu Yi fully appreciated Prince Frank's cold attitude, and felt that it would be difficult to break into the Candela Empire through Prince Guò Frank's relationship for a while.
But he never imagined that just a few months later, Prince Frank's attitude had changed drastically, and he even wanted to come all the way here to participate in the Magic Car Championship despite all kinds of taboos!
Xu Yi was shocked by his idea.
He is the third prince of the Candela Empire, and he is a pivotal figure in the entire Sainz continent.
Coming from all the way to participate in this competition in the Lampari Kingdom, which is more than a thousand kilometers away, not to mention the possibility of assassination and other accidents, just the damage suffered in the competition is a serious consequence that Xu Yi and the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot bear.
So after Baron Billier got in touch with Prince Frank, Xu Yi resolutely dissuaded him from this idea.
However, in view of Prince Frank's great interest in real magic car racing, or more accurately, racing without scruples, Xu also negotiated with Prince Frank and finally agreed that he would send a representative to participate in the competition.
Although he was only a representative of Prince Frank, it was still a very important matter for Xu Yi, so he did not hesitate to get in touch with Sevigny and inform her about it, and then obtained Sevigny's full support.
Regardless of what Prince Frank wants to do, it must be ensured that the representatives he sends will be able to participate in this tournament smoothly and safely until they finally leave.
Otherwise, if something happens to them in Bonta City, it is good that Prince Frank does not pursue it, and if it is investigated, it will be an extremely strict diplomatic incident.
Even if the current strength of the Lampari Kingdom is much stronger than before, it is absolutely impossible to face the wrath of the behemoth of the Candela Empire.
However, to Xu Yi's surprise, Sevigny did not take the initiative to inform Count Revere in advance and ask him to cooperate with him.
As Count Revere said just now, since this tournament was held on the territory of Bonta City, it was impossible to bypass him, the lord of the city, in any case.
If Severny can get Count Revere to fully cooperate, Xu Yi will have a greater confidence in resolving this matter.
Xu Yi and Count Revere were puzzled at the same time, and for a while, no one spoke, and both of them fell into silence.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, breaking the silence. (To be continued......)
