The question of striking the right balance between work and family is a difficult question for a large number of sociologists on the planet, and Steele certainly can't get the answer so easily.

And for Evita and Akali, two people who don't even have their own small family, it's even more of a problem that doesn't exist at all.

Besides, the two of them are now plagued by all kinds of research problems all day long, and how can they have time to think about other aspects.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now made a breakthrough in the Marlo Empire, so Xu Yi attaches great importance to all the work in the Marquis Southgate's private domain.

And the Magic Research Institute, which is the technical core of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, naturally has to provide a lot of support in these works.

For example, a few days ago, Xu also told Evita that he needed to set up a technical center on the private territory of the Marquis of Southgate to provide technical support for the various factories and institutions set up there by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as the processing plants of other chambers of commerce.

Evita needs to be responsible for assigning personnel information and making adjustments from it during this time, which can be described as very busy.

Akali led the members of the Magic Resonance Technology Research Group, running around to provide technical support for the erection of the Magic Signal Tower and the laying of the Magic Communication Network, and was a little busier than Evita.

The last time Evita saw Akali was when Akali came back to mobilize the support of her subordinates half a month ago, and Akali's complexion at that time was obviously much darker, obviously she had been working outdoors during this time, and she was tanned.

However, Akali was in a very good spirit, and not only did she look as energetic as usual. It was even more terrifying that his eyes were shining. It is clear that there is a great deal of commitment to the work at hand. And very much enjoyed it.

Evita had been friends with Akali for many years, and it was the first time to see her so excited about one thing, and it was natural that she was sincerely happy for her.

She and Akali are both children from ordinary families in the Lampari Kingdom, although many people envy them for having the talent of magicians, but after embarking on the path of magicians, they realize that it is not enough to have talent, but also need opportunities and more importantly financial support.

The two came from ordinary backgrounds. The family didn't have enough money to support them to do the expensive magical research, and it was their best effort to get them into the Royal Academy of Lampari.

Originally, both of them thought that it would be good to become a high-level magician above level five at most in this life, and they spent their lives like this as an ordinary magician.

But they didn't expect that since they met Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, their fate has changed dramatically.

Now the two of them are not only in a greatly improved economic situation, but also in the jobs they like.

In particular, in order to continue to focus on the research of magic array resonance technology, Akali even refused Xu Yi's invitation to let her go to the Lampari Kingdom to serve as the head of the R&D center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which shows her love for the research she is currently engaged in.

As for the choice of her good friend, Evita of course supports it, and she herself agrees with the bright future of the magical communication network described by Xu Yi on the continent of Sein, and feels that the project that Akali is researching can be a choice for her to devote her life to it.

So when the news of Akali being arrested suddenly came. Evita was stunned for five minutes before she could react. I found Xu Yi for the first time.

"Lord, how is Akali doing now?"

Xu Yi took a deep breath, gently patted Evita's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems now." ”

"But how did she get caught?" Evita said with a hint of crying in her eager voice. "She's already a seventh-level magician, how can she be caught so easily?

Xu Yi snorted, his face sinking like water: "Some clowns who jump off the beam, what's amazing." After a pause, he took another breath, looked at Evita, and continued in a slow voice: "Evita, you don't have to worry, Akali will not be in danger. I'll do my best to get her back, you ......."

"No, I'm going too!" Evita suddenly interrupted Xu Yi's words.

Xu Yi was stunned, frowning and looking at Evita, but saw her staring straight at herself, her eyes staring, her expression was extremely determined, and she didn't mean to flinch at all.

Xu Yi has known Evita for so many years, and knows very well that although she looks very gentle on the surface, she is actually a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

It was the first time he had seen her eyes and expressions so firm in so many years, and he naturally knew that she had made up her mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yi nodded lightly: "Okay, you personally lead the team and mobilize all the magic airships that can be vacated now, and we will set off immediately." ”

An hour later, Hart, the captain of the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, personally led two hundred carefully selected human guards, one hundred elven guards, one hundred dwarf guards, and one hundred orc guards, a total of five hundred meters of guards to board the magic airship.

A total of ten magic airships took off at the same time, instantly forming a dark cloud in the air and casting a large shadow on the ground.

This is the first time that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has dispatched so many magic airships at the same time since the development of the magic airship, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, the speed of the magic airship was extremely fast, and after a brief pause in mid-air, it flew south at high speed, and instantly disappeared into the vast sky in the distance.

"Lord, can you tell me what the hell is going on? Why was Akali suddenly arrested?

Evita only received the news that Akali was in danger of being arrested, but she didn't know the specific situation, so she immediately asked Xu Yi while waiting on the way after getting on the magic airship.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "I was negligent......"

Akali's whereabouts are now clear, and they should have fallen into the hands of Count Dole in the southern part of the Duchy of Stantin.

As for the reason, it is related to the promotion of the magic communication network in the principality by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When-Ompes reported to Xu Yi that they had been secretly obstructed by the local nobles when they were laying the magic signal tower in the south of the principality, Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, these nobles of the Duchy of Stantin have already been shocked and even suppressed by him, and they have all become toothless tigers, and they dare not dare to dare any nobleman to really disobey the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The last time he had-Ompes take some of his guards to warn the nobles in the south, the subsequent deployment of the magic communication network became very smooth, and everything went smoothly.

This time, Akali led her subordinates over, because the magic signal tower in that area was basically erected, and she wanted to lead her research team to complete the final activation of the magic network.

But I didn't expect that this kind of accident would suddenly occur now.

Seeing that the magic network was about to be fully activated, and the work was about to end, the most powerful Earl of Dole in the local area suddenly attacked, and led his personal guard to surround the work site of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, arresting all the technicians and workers, including Akali.

After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, Evita breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

Since it is an action against the entire construction team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then Akali personally should not be too threatened for the time being.

Because Count Dole must know very well that if this matter is to be resolved, of course, it is necessary to negotiate directly with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Until the results of the negotiations are out, it is clear that Count Dole will not make any superfluous moves.

"I don't think Akali would have been able to escape by herself if she was willing to leave her men behind, right? Otherwise, with her current magical strength, she would have no problem escaping from the personal guard of a minor nobleman. Evita said.

However, Xu Yi frowned and shook his head slightly.

"No, according to the information from the inquiry, Akali and the others were arrested without any resistance. ”

Evita was stunned, "No, is it? How could there be anyone in Count Dole's personal guard who could easily catch Akali? ”

Although Count Dole is nominally an earl, he is only a count in the small country of the Duchy of Staten, not to mention that compared to the counts in the Candela Empire or the Maro Empire, even compared to the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom.

It was already quite good for such a real little nobleman to have some personal guards, but it was impossible to have a powerful subordinate who could make Akali, a seventh-level magician, have no power to resist.

"I don't know, there is too little news coming back now, so I can only go and see it again. Xu Yi shook his head, sighed, and saw Evita frowning, smiled gratefully, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Baron Dole shouldn't be so bold as to really hurt Akali and them." I think he just wanted to use them to threaten me and negotiate with me. ”

"Well, I know. Evita nodded slightly, but her brows furrowed even tighter. "But I still don't understand, Grown. Didn't this Count of Dole know that if he did this, he would completely offend our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't think about the consequences?"

"I don't believe he's so stupid. Xu Yi muttered. "But he did such a stupid thing, so the only explanation should be that he now has enough confidence to support him to do so. As for where this confidence comes from......"

Xu Yi snorted coldly, his gaze turned to the south, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"No matter who gave you such confidence, but this time, I will definitely make you regret it. (To be continued......)
