Chapter 128 A Small Town Worse than Bangta City

Although in the information obtained by Xu Yi, the old lord of Batrou City, the old Earl Longley, and the lord of Raimate City, Earl Will, clearly expressed support for Prince Eric's succession to the throne, but he and Raimat City simply separated The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's convoy was different from outside the city. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's convoy walked all the way within the range of Batru City, but did not encounter any obstacles. Vertex Fiction

Xu Yi was still worried that if he was rejected from the city again, he should travel overnight to avoid sleeping in the wild, but now seeing that Batrou City did not take any special measures, he felt relieved.

Perhaps just as he had guessed, the young Earl Longley, who had taken over the title of earl and city lord, was somewhat different from his father, the old Earl Longley, in terms of political stance.

Near dusk, the convoy finally entered the city of Batrou.

Looking at the low and dilapidated city wall in front of him, and the rusty and dilapidated city gate that swayed and creaked when the wind blew, Xu Yi almost couldn't believe his eyes.

It has been more than six years since he traveled to this world, and he has seen many cities in the Lampari Kingdom. He thought that Bangta City was the most backward and old city among them, but the Batrou City in front of him completely refreshed his heart. lower limit.

Such a place that looks much more dilapidated than the Bangta City that Xu Yi saw for the first time three years ago, and is so small that it can hardly be called a city, but a place that should only be regarded as a castle, is Batrou City ?

Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

Although within the scope of entering the city of Batru, the surrounding scenes on the way fully showed the poverty of the city, but the main city that represented the image of the entire city actually looked like this. But it still surprised him a little.

In the past six months. Because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to implement an expansion strategy. Xu Yi has personally visited many cities in the Lampari Kingdom, including some poor cities, but no matter how poor those cities are, at least the main city will still be well built.

In any case, the poor are only those ordinary civilians, and have nothing to do with nobles like the city lord, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a little respect for the deceased old Earl Longley.

From this point of view, he doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who is fishing for fame. Instead, he should really be thinking about the civilians under his rule.

Of course, his choice to support His Royal Highness Prince Eric is really questionable.

At present, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry promoted are mainly concentrated in the southern area of ​​the Lampari Kingdom. There are only a few in the Northeast Province, and there are a few chambers of commerce that are involved in the production of household magic machinery. As for the magic locomotive It can also be regarded as the most high-end magic technology within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is extremely rare in the entire Northeast Province, and it has never appeared in a small city like Batru City.

So the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a convoy of more than 20 magic motorcycles, just approached the city gate, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the magic freight locomotive in the front row slowly stop in front of him, the guard of the city gate was dumbfounded. He raised his head and stared blankly at the magic locomotive in front of him, which was as tall as two monsters. I was speechless for a long time.

Until Ankato jumped out of the car and walked up to him. The guard finally came to his senses, swallowed hard, coughed hard, put on a posture, and shouted seriously: "Hey, where are you caravans from? What are you doing in our city of Batru?"

Ankato smiled and handed over the caravan pass.

After the guard glanced at it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" After glancing at the magic motorcycles behind, the guard suddenly realized. "That's right, apart from your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which chamber of commerce has so many magic locomotives?"

Ankato was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the city gate guard in a poor and backward town like Batru City would know about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Immediately, there was a surge of pride in his heart. Even this kind of person knows the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which shows how famous the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now in the kingdom.

"Yes, we are the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from Bangta City. We are going to deliver goods to Sewell City. We pass by here and want to stay here tonight." Ankato explained.

"Oh..." The guard looked at the pass in his hand, then at Ankato and the convoy behind Ankato, and frowned: "It's no problem to let you enter the city, but you have so many magic motorcycles... I'm afraid I can’t make arrangements after entering the city.”

"Huh?" Ankato observed the situation in the city through the city gate in astonishment, and found that the road connecting the city gate was small and crowded. The widest part was only less than four meters wide, and the narrowest The place is not even three meters away.

Although it can barely accommodate the magic locomotive, but such a narrow road, the magic locomotive may not even be able to turn when driving in.

Moreover, this road is also the road connecting the city gate, which should be the widest road in the city. Even this road is so narrow, one can imagine what other roads in the city will look like.

"This..." Seeing this situation, Ankato also felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to go to the middle of the motorcade to ask Xu Yi for instructions.

Xu Yi was also wondering why Ankato had been negotiating with the city gate guard for so long, and was a little dazed after hearing Ankato explain the situation.

Although he had seen that Batrou City was short and small, he did not expect the situation in the city to be so embarrassing.

"President, I think we might as well set up camp outside the city." Camby suggested. "Anyway, it's already on the edge of the city, so there won't be any problems?"

Xu Yi thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright. Ankato, go and inform the rest of the convoy, and say that we will camp outside the city tonight, but if you feel uncomfortable, you can also choose to go to the city to find a hotel to rest, and the chamber of commerce will reimburse you. "

An Kato left at the sound, Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then got out of the car and walked to the gate of the city to discuss with the guard.

Hearing that the convoy wanted to camp outside the city gate, the guard was a little hesitant.

"I'm afraid this won't work... If you stop outside the city, it will hinder other people..."

Knowing that Xu Yi is the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the guard's tone of voice involuntarily weakened a little. If someone else made such a request, he would have been sent away by him long ago.

"We will choose a place that does not hinder other people, as long as we have an open space." Xu Yi explained patiently. "And just stay one night, and leave at dawn tomorrow, I don't think it will be a hindrance."

Seeing that the guard was still hesitating, Xu Yi looked left and right, pulled the guard, turned sideways, turned his back to the others around him, took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it over.

"These money should be regarded as our payment for entering the city, but they don't enter the city. What do you think?"

The guard took a look at the money bag in Xu Yi's hand, and could see that the gold coins in the money bag were definitely far more than what they should have paid for entering the city. He also grabbed the money bag in his hand, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Okay, since you are really in trouble, then I won't make it too difficult for you. Go find an open space next to you and settle down. Remember, don't hinder others. "

Xu Yi responded with a smile, and just turned around to leave, but suddenly found that the expression on the guard's face changed drastically. The smiling expression after receiving the money bag just now suddenly changed as if he saw a ghost, and became extremely frightened.

"What's going on?" Xu Yi looked back wonderingly, and looked in the direction where the guard was staring with wide-eyed eyes, and saw a carriage galloping from the far side of the road, billowing smoke and dust along the way.

"Wait!" Just as Xu Yi wondered why the guard saw this carriage as if he saw a ghost, the guard suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yi's arm, and stuffed the money bag that hadn't been put away into Xu Yi's arms , whispered: "Remember, I didn't say anything just now."

Xu Yi looked at the guard in astonishment, but saw that the expression on his face changed rapidly again, but with a flattering smile on his face, he greeted the carriage together with other city guards at the city gate with a smile.

Obviously, the person sitting in this carriage should be a person familiar to these city guards.

But Xu Yi glanced over the carriage, only to find that no matter how you look at it, the carriage is very ordinary, with no trace of luxury at all, so Xu Yi can't figure out who is sitting in this carriage. Let the guards have such drastic changes before and after.

After a while, the carriage quickly passed through the dirt and gravel road with smoke and dust, but it directly ignored the city gate guard and a kind of city guard who came up, passed in front of them without slowing down at all, and then stopped suddenly with a squeak. In front of Xu Yi.

Xu Yi frowned slightly, raised his right hand, and the magic power in his body flowed, using a wind flow technique to disperse a large amount of smoke and dust brought by the carriage.

As the smoke faded, a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old jumped out of the carriage, grabbed Xu Yi's hands, and said excitedly, "President Xu, I finally caught up with you!"

Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in astonishment, and found that his face was exhausted, and the clothes on his body, which were not badly made, looked wrinkled, but he was extremely energetic, and his eyes were full of joy.

"you are……"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The middle-aged man straightened his expression, pointed to Batru City behind Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, please allow me to introduce myself, I am the current City Lord of Batru City, Earl Rewell Longley. It's the first time we meet, and please take care of President Xu in the future."

Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who could not see the slightest aristocratic aura in surprise. Judging from the surprised attitude of the guards and city guards who followed him, he judged that the middle-aged man should not be lying. Earl Longley, the lord of Batru City.

But what puzzled Xu Yi was that Batru City should be a side that unequivocally supported His Royal Highness Prince Eric, so why was he so polite to him, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Even after seeing Xu Yi, he would look so excited?

Could it be that...Xu Yi's previous idea has actually become a reality? (To be continued..)
