Chapter 126: Hit-and-run

Lord Caroline's introduction to Xu Yi only lasted for half an hour, and when the convoy was about to enter the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it was accidentally blocked by the road.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by a specially modified magic car, and then there were two men in uniform standing next to the fiery red magic car, Lord Caroline and the Marquis of Southgate glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a hint of doubt.

The fiery red magic sedan was clearly the one Seymour had purchased in the city of Philos.

Today, when he marched from the city of Black Rice in the Black Rice Wasteland to the Duchy of Stantin, Seymour followed the convoy honestly at first, but before he was halfway there, he couldn't bear it, and left the convoy on his own, increasing his speed from time to time, and rushing on the highway to get rid of the convoy.

Due to the simple route from Heimi City to the Duchy of Stantin, there is no need to worry that he will get lost, and he has already practiced his driving skills during this time, so the Marquis of Southgate simply let him go, and he does not want to restrain him too much.

But now he's been stopped, why?

Lord Caroline glanced at the two young men in uniform, and frowned slightly: "These two people are the security officers of the Duchy of Stantin, and it seems that Viscount Seymour may have committed something." ”

"Vigilant?" the Marquis of Southgate looked at the two young men in surprise and motioned for the driver in front of him to drive over.

The convoy stopped next to Seymour's fiery red magic car, and Seymour, who was sitting in the cab with a disdainful expression, quickly opened the car door, avoided the two security officers, and rushed over.

"Uncle Daljolen. How dare these two guys stop my car! I must teach them a lesson!"

Marquis Southgate's face sank slightly. Glaring at him unkindly. Then he looked at Lord Carolyn, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Lord Caroline groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Lord Marquis, let me deal with it." ”

"Good. ”

Lord Caroline got out of the car and walked over to the two sheriffs.

The two vigilantes originally had some angry expressions on their faces, but when they saw Lord Caroline get out of the car and come over, they were immediately frightened by her appearance, and they were stunned for a while.

"Two vigilantes. Hello. Lord Caroline smiled sweetly, pointed sideways at Seymour behind him, and asked, "May I ask why you stopped my friend?

The two vigilantes were staring blankly at Lord Caroline at first, but when they heard her ask this question, they immediately came to their senses, and one of the slightly fatter vigilantes coughed lightly, quickly regained his composure, and said, "This lady, your friend just drove a magic car on the highway without following the rules, and because of this, he hit another moving medium-sized bus magic locomotive. The magic locomotive of the bus overturned due to damage, and many passengers on the bus were injured. After the accident. This friend of yours didn't wait for it to be dealt with and just ran away. Now, in accordance with the relevant regulations, we must go back to him for investigation. ”

"Traffic hit-and-run?" Lord Caroline frowned deeply, and turned his head to look at Seymour, and then to the Marquis of Southgate, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The Marquis of Southgate saw the look on her face and walked over.

"Did something happen?"

The Marquis of Southgate had been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally had an aura of majesty, and the two vigilantes were also well-informed, and they saw at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, and they did not dare to slack off, and explained to him in detail what had happened.

After hearing this, the Marquis of Southgate's face sank completely, turned his head to glare at Seymour, and then pondered for a moment, and said to the two vigilantes: "Both, this is the fault of my nephew, and I sincerely apologize to the passengers in that car on his behalf." And willing to compensate the passengers who were injured because of this incident, they will definitely be satisfied. ”

The Marquis of Southgate beckoned to an attendant behind him, who, without saying a word, pulled out a bulging purse from his bosom and handed it over.

"That's a hundred gold coins. I think it should be enough as compensation for those passengers. ”

The two vigilantes glanced at the purse and then at the Marquis of Southgate, surprised.

Marquis Southgate smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, as a sincere apology, a hundred gold coins is not much." ”

He didn't notice that the Lord Caroline on the side had an extremely strange expression on his face when he heard this.

The two vigilantes also looked strange, and after glancing at each other, the chubby vigilante coughed lightly and said to the Marquis of Southgate, "This...... Sir, do you think a hundred gold coins is a lot of compensation?"

The Marquis of Southgate was stunned: "Isn't it much? Listening to what you just described, most of those passengers were only slightly injured, and only one of them suffered a broken bone." I think a hundred gold coins is more than enough to compensate them for their losses. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Well, if a hundred gold coins is really not enough, then I can add fifty gold coins. As for this nephew of mine, because we still have urgent matters, it is inconvenient for you to take them back to investigate. ”

The slightly fat security officer smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Sir, I must sue you, don't say one hundred gold coins, or one hundred and fifty gold coins, even if it is five hundred gold coins, it is not enough to compensate your nephew for the losses caused by this accident." And according to the regulations, we must take him back for investigation, and we ask for your cooperation. ”

Marquis Southgate's eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Five hundred gold coins is not enough? How is this possible! Five hundred gold coins is even enough to buy ten physically fit slaves!"

The slightly chubby security officer frowned: "This gentleman, you are not from our Duchy of Stantin, are you? And to tell you the truth, five hundred gold coins is really not a lot of money. The injured passengers on that bus magic locomotive, I'm sure each of them earns at least two hundred gold coins a year. With so many people injured, plus the damage suffered by the bus magic locomotive itself, the loss was far more than five hundred gold coins. ”

"Everybody can earn two hundred gold coins a year?" the Marquis of Southgate was utterly surprised. "This ...... Is that possible? They're just ordinary civilians, right?"

The county lord Caroline on the side couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, took a step forward, and said in a voice to the two security guards: "Two, don't hide it, these two are the distinguished guests of President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I hope you can be accommodating." As for the damages, no matter how small, we will pay them truthfully. ”

With that, Lord Caroline took out a golden ticket from her bosom and handed it over.

"Here is a thousand gold coins, if it is not enough, you can always contact me through the Guò Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. After a pause, perhaps thinking that his empty words would not achieve any effect, the Lord Caroline hesitated slightly, and continued: "I am the Lord of Caroline from the Duchy of Dedrake, and I think you should have heard my name. ”

The two vigilantes' eyes widened in unison, and they shouted incredulously, "So you are Lord Caroline! No wonder you are so beautiful! Oh my God! I actually saw Lord Caroline with my own eyes! What a blessing!"

Lord Caroline smiled slightly: "Thank you two for your compliment." So may I ask you both...... Can we get out first? President Xu should be waiting for us to come right now. For post-event processing, you can always contact us through the Guò Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"This ......"

The two vigilantes glanced at each other, the slightly chubby vigilante pulled the other vigilante, the two went to the side and muttered a few words, and after a while, the fat vigilante walked back and said to the county lord Caroline: "Your Royal Highness, please wait a moment with your companions, we are trying to get in touch with President Xu and let him decide how to deal with it." ”

"Contact President Xu?" said Lord Carolyn frowned. "This is still some distance from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, right?

"I'm sorry. The slightly chubby vigilante smiled, but did not give any accommodating signs.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Lord Caroline reluctantly accepted and walked back to the Marquis of Southgate.

"Lord Marquis, I'm very sorry, let's wait here for a while, they are in contact with President Xu. ”

"How do you contact President Xu here, and if you send someone back, it will take a long time to come back and forth, right?" the Marquis of Southgate clearly had the same problem in mind as Lord Caroline.

"Uncle Dajolen, why should we listen to them waiting here? Do they really dare to do anything to us?" Seymour leaned over, unconcerned.

"Shut up!" the Marquis of Southgate rebuked him angrily, but he couldn't say anything more, after all, he was only the son of his old friend, not his own son, and he could teach him a lesson at will.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, we are guests after all, and we still have to respect President Xu, the host." In this way, perhaps by dealing with this matter, we can deepen our understanding with President Xu. ”

Seeing a smile on the corner of Marquis Southgate's mouth, Lord Caroline's heart sank slightly.

Xu Yi has always hoped to spread the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire continent, so the two empires of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire will of course be the two most critical parts of it.

It seems that the progress of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire has not been smooth, but now it has coincidentally gained the attention of the Marquis of Southgate from the Marlo Empire, and has the opportunity to promote the products of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to the Maro Empire.

If Xu Yi mishandled this matter this time, causing Marquis Southgate's dissatisfaction, then it is very likely to affect Marquis Southgate's evaluation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, and the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be hindered from entering the Marlo Empire.

"Xu Yi, you must take advantage of the opportunity this time. ”

Looking at the Marquis of Southgate, who had returned to his calm and sat back in the magic car and waited quietly, and then at Seymour, who looked impatient, Lord Caroline prayed secretly in her heart. (To be continued......)
