Chapter 36 Are You Discouraged?
The disturbances that happened here should be managed by the Mana Magic Kingdom. Xu Yi was unwilling and inconvenient to intervene, so he just shook his head and prepared to leave.
However, he didn't look for trouble, but things found him on their own initiative.
The group of troublemakers made a noise for a while, as if they saw someone here, a group of people rushed here.
"Hey, look, this guy seems to be Xu Yi!" After the crowd rushed over, one of them pointed at Xu Yi and shouted loudly.
"It's really him!"
"That's right! It's Xu Yi!"
"Brothers, this guy dared to appear here, we must teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, it's this guy who makes everyone have nothing to do. It's a heinous crime!"
"Yes! Teach him a lesson! Let him know how powerful he is!"
...
Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the crowd in front of him who were shouting loudly, but no one really dared to rush up. He sneered, then turned to Van Horn and said, "If this is your arrangement, I can only say that it is too much. A bit inferior."
Van Horn's complexion changed, and he waved his hands again and again: "President Xu, you misunderstood! How could this be arranged by us? I didn't know that this group of guys would appear suddenly..."
After speaking, as if to prove his words, Van Horn took two steps forward and shouted loudly at the group of people: "Hey! What are you doing here? Chairman Xu is a distinguished guest of the kingdom, no matter how dare you treat him powerlessly, believe it or not Shall I send someone to arrest you immediately?"
"Hey, you can catch it if you have the ability?"
"That's right! Anyway, we can't go on, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"I'm not even afraid of death on the battlefield, how can I be frightened by you?"
"Are you kidding? We are all magicians with military positions in the Kingdom's military department. Who are you, dare to arrest us?"
"A magician with a military rank?" Xu Yi's expression moved, he glanced at the group of people, and after a little thought, he finally understood. "Van Horn. Are they the magicians who were eliminated by your kingdom's army because of the "Magi Peace Pact?"
Van Horn nodded with embarrassment: "Yes." Then he immediately explained: "In fact, most of the eliminated magicians have found suitable jobs in various chambers of commerce and research institutions, but There are others who don't want to do it, they prefer to serve in the military, so..."
"Oh. I see." Xu Yi glanced at the group of people. "It seems that they are just a group of defeated dogs, and they are not worthy of much attention."
For the latter sentence, Xu Yi deliberately did not lower his voice, so it naturally fell into the ears of the group of people.
The expressions of the group of people all changed, and they shouted loudly again.
"Who do you say is a defeated dog?"
"Why do you say that about us? If it weren't for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to come up with the damn "Magician Peace Pact". How can we become what we are now?"
"That's right, it's all your fault, you still have the nerve to stand in front of us and talk nonsense, do you really think we dare not do anything?"
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at them amusedly. "You have been shouting here for a long time, if you want to do it, do it, I will not stop you."
A group of people glared at Xu Yi angrily, but no one dared to make a real move.
Now that they recognized Xu Yi, they knew Xu Yi's identity very well, and knew that Xu Yi possessed the strength of a magister.
How dare a group of people like them, who are no more than seventh-level magicians, dare to attack Xu Yi, a magister?
Xu Yi smiled contemptuously. I didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and just said to Van Horn: "Please tell Your Majesty the King, if your country can't even handle these trivial matters, then I will have doubts about your country's cooperation attitude and ability, and I am afraid it will greatly affect our relationship. cooperation between
After all, he ignored Van Horn, his body shook slightly, and he flew into the air.
Van Horn and the group looked up in astonishment, but saw a magical airship flying over from nowhere, just in time to meet Xu Yi, and took Xu Yi into it.
Watching the magic airship go away in an instant. Van Horn and the group were stunned.
After a while, one of them looked at Van Horn gloomily.
"Master Van Horn, this guy...why doesn't he play his cards according to the routine?"
Van Horn looked at them fiercely, but had nothing to say.
After a long while. He let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly.
"This President Xu is really unexpected..."
###
The magic airship flew in the sky at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour, and in a short while passed the city of Sosri, and landed outside a small town about 40 kilometers southeast of the city.
Just as Xu Yi stepped out of the hatch, a slender figure rushed towards him. Fell directly into his arms.
"Dad, you are finally here!"
Freya hugged Xu Yi tightly, and rubbed her face against his chest with joy.
Xu Yi chuckled, reached out and rubbed her head, and pushed her away.
"Okay, you're such a big girl, why are you still acting like a little girl?"
"In front of you, I will always be a child." Freya replied with a smile, showing a trace of doubt. "By the way, didn't they say that you have to discuss something with the people of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, it may take a long time. I thought I would see you at night, but I didn't expect you to come back so early."
Xu Yi remembered what happened just now, frowned and shook his head.
Seeing Xu Yi's expression, Freya was very surprised, and quickly asked.
Xu Yi thought about it, and told Freya in detail what happened just now.
"Freya, if you were in my place, what would you do?"
Freya blinked, knowing that Xu Yi was taking the opportunity to test herself.
But after turning her eyes a few times, she frowned slightly, and said unceremoniously to Xu Yi: "Father, you are too emotional."
"Oh?" Xu Yi asked a little funny. "Why do you say that?"
"You must think that these guys from the Magic Kingdom of Mana are not only pushy and unwilling to work hard on cooperation, but now they are using these small tricks to embarrass you, so you get angry and decide to just break up with them. right?"
"Hmm... that's probably the way to think about it, but is this considered emotional?"
"Of course forget it! Didn't you always tell me that no matter what you do, you must recognize your goal. Then work hard to achieve this goal, and nothing else will affect your judgment? But now you clearly want to and The Mana Magic Kingdom cooperated, but they are about to give up because they used a little trick, isn't this just sentimental?" Freya accused without politeness at all.
Xu Yi laughed loudly: "You're right. But Freya. You haven't figured out my real goal."
"The real target?" Freya tilted her head, wondering. "Don't you want to cooperate with the Magic Kingdom of Mana to vigorously promote the magic industry here?"
"This is just a short-term goal." Xu Yi turned his head slightly, glanced at the direction of Sosri City, and sighed softly: "If the magic industry can be successfully promoted in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, then of course I am willing to pay a lot for it Work hard. But now the obvious fact is that there are serious problems in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and the opinions are not unified, so that they even used this stupid little trick in front of me. So I think, put it first Let them go."
"But when you did this in other countries before, you encountered many difficulties, but you never said you would give up?" Freya was still very puzzled.
"It used to be the past, but now... I have basically completed the mission on the continent of Sainz, and they should solve it by themselves. Those who are willing to follow the trend of the times will naturally follow, and those who are unwilling... just Let them be eliminated."
Freya frowned. He looked at Xu Yi suspiciously.
The father in her impression seems to be always full of energy and motivation, and will always move towards the goals she set, and never have any thoughts of retreating or compromising.
Why did he decide to give up after only encountering a little setback this time?
Even if this is only temporary, it is still completely different from his previous style.
Thinking of this, Freya grabbed Xu Yi's hand with some concern, and asked with concern: "Father, you... Did something happen. Make you feel discouraged?"
Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, seeing Freya's concerned expression, he immediately understood that she had misunderstood.
"Hehe, it's true that some things disappointed me. But it's not enough to say that I'm discouraged. Um... Do you think my actions this time are different from those in the past?"
Freya nodded vigorously.
"There is a reason for this." Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Freya, how did the Candela Empire respond to your question about Teresa?"
Freya was startled, not understanding why Xu Yi suddenly changed the topic to this.
But after she thought about it for a while, she let out a series of laughter like silver bells.
"Haha, Dad. You can't imagine that when I took out those two pictures and asked the Grand Duke Galbut and the Marquis Askend for Teresa's name, how wonderful their expressions were!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I can probably guess it. After all, this is a secret that the Candela Empire has been keeping strictly. It was thought that no one knew about it, but you revealed it outright. It would be strange if they weren't shocked."
Freya laughed for a while, then slowly restrained her expression, and continued: "When I was leaving, Grand Duke Galbut personally sent me away. He asked me to tell you that I hope you can go to the Kandela Empire when you have time , he has something important to discuss with you face to face."
"If it's for this matter, I'm not interested." Xu Yi shook his head. "Anyway, the two paintings that you handed over to them have been taken, and the questions have been asked, so don't worry about other things."
Freya was suddenly surprised: "So... you don't plan to pursue it? They are secretly developing military magic machines!"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Let them develop it, as long as it's not a public research, I don't bother to care about it."
Freya frowned deeply, and looked at Xu Yi very puzzled.
Why... the way Father handles things now has become so gentle?
Could it be because...is he old?
Freya looked at Xu Yi's young face with no wrinkles at all, no matter how you looked at it, she was only in her early thirties, she was unwilling to believe her guess no matter what. (~^~)
