Chapter 150 Are You Interested in Getting in My Car?
It was already nightfall when Xu Yi left the palace. <
He hurried to the accommodation place agreed with Steele, only to find that not only Steele was not there, but also Yanis and others who had come here to stay earlier were gone.
After asking the servants of this other courtyard, she was told that Mrs. Steele had been waiting for Xu Yi for a long time and hadn't seen anyone yet, so she took the enthusiastic Freya, Yanis and others to go shopping.
"Madam said, if they haven't come back after you come back, Mr. Chairman, please go to the newly built Crescent Theater in the west of the city to find them."
"The New Moon Theater? What? Is there a performance by the Xinyue Song and Dance Troupe today?"
After a group of orc girls from the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe returned to the Principality of Standing with Xu Yi, they went through more than a year of training.
It wasn't until the situation in the Lampari Kingdom stabilized that the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe entered the Lampari Kingdom again to perform various performances.
Although more than a year has passed, the popularity of the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe in the Lampari Kingdom has not diminished. As soon as they returned to the Lampari Kingdom, they were extremely sought after.
However, the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe has no foundation in the Lampari Kingdom, so most of them can only rent venues for performances, which is very inconvenient.
So Steele decided to invest in the establishment of a place dedicated to the Crescent Song and Dance Troupe in the city of Anvilmar, and through Xu Yi's proposal, he cooperated with the Kingdom of Lampari and with the support of Her Majesty Queen Seweney, built the This crescent theater is similar to the theater on earth.
It is worth mentioning that the total investment in the construction of the Crescent Grand Theater was as high as 600,000 gold coins, but Steele did not get even a single copper coin support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi. All on her own.
In addition to some of the funds accumulated by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce through the previous performances of the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe. A large part of it also comes from intermediary fees from workers of other races who have obtained labor certificates in the Kingdom of Lampari through the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
certainly. These are still not enough, so Steele also obtained part of the loan from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
Although the loan interest of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is extremely high, the current performance venues of the New Moon Song and Dance Troupe are full, and the New Moon Chamber of Commerce is therefore extremely profitable. According to Steele's estimate, it only takes two years at most to pay off all the loans. loan.
Xu also knew the strong character in Steele's heart, so when Steele expressed that he wanted to solve this problem by himself. He never offered to give Steele financial support from start to finish.
"Yes. The New Moon Song and Dance Troupe will perform three performances every week, and today happens to be the middle of this month, and the performance will be much bigger than usual." Speaking of this, the maid showed a trace of regret on her face. "Several companions invited me to watch it together last month..."
Xu Yi couldn't help but smiled: "What? Because of my sudden visit, did you miss the opportunity?"
The maid immediately tensed up, and quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, Mr. President, I didn't mean that, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to complain about you. On the contrary, I'm glad you can come. I knew you were coming Madam made preparations half a month in advance. I have been very happy these days."
Both Steele and Xu Yi are usually very nice to their servants, so this maid said such things in front of Xu Yi.
If it were any other big noble or big businessman's house, if the servants dared to complain in front of their master, they would definitely not end well.
"Okay, don't be nervous, I didn't misunderstand you complaining. I just misunderstood whether the companion who asked you out was a girl or a boy?"
The maid blushed slightly: "Of course it's a girl."
"Really?" Xu Yi laughed loudly, shook his head, did not continue to ask, but told the maid not to prepare dinner for himself alone, and planned to leave the other courtyard and go to the Crescent Theater to find Steele and others on the way Just solve it casually.
As a result, as soon as he reached the gate of the other courtyard, there was a shrill sound of sudden braking, and a pure black magic car suddenly stopped in front of the gate of the other courtyard.
The car door opened, and the Great Mage Esenka stepped out of the car.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, the great magician Esenka immediately opened his arms and greeted him with a big smile.
Xu Yi hugged him and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Great Mage, you came so fast. I just arrived not long ago, and you actually came to the door."
"President Xu, I'm afraid you don't know how much attention you have received?" the great magician Esenka said with a smile. "I dare say that as soon as you entered the city, countless people knew the news. It's just that you were summoned by Her Majesty the Queen immediately, and everyone could only hold back. Apart from me, I am afraid that there is no one else Will be like me, so impatient to see you the first time after your meeting with Her Majesty the Queen."
"Oh? Your Excellency the great magician, you came to see me in such a hurry. Could it be that you have something urgent to discuss?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course there is something urgent, and it is very urgent." The great magician Esenka nodded affirmatively, then moved closer to Xu Yixiao, and whispered to him: "President Xu, I heard that you plan to establish a bicycle series grand prix." In addition, do you plan to create a magic car competition?"
Xu Yi was slightly surprised.
He only mentioned this matter to Sorcerer Camilla and Sorcerer Truchi, but he didn't expect that Sorcerer Esenka knew about it less than half a month later.
But thinking that they are all great magicians, and perhaps their own contact methods with each other, Xu Yi is also relieved.
"Yes, I do have this idea, but it's just an idea, and it's still far from being held." Xu Yi didn't deny it either. "At the very least, with the current speed of the magic car, there is no competition at all, because they are all so slow."
"Is it very slow?" The great magician Esenka showed a knowing smile. "President Xu, if you use the wind magic engine, the speed of the magic car is not very fast. But what if it becomes another magic engine? For example, the fire magic engine that your chamber of commerce is developing?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly.
Although the great magician Truchi and the great magician Esenka are both great magicians, it is normal for them to have close contact with each other.
However, the research and development of the fire magic engine is a secret in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If the great magician Truchi also told the great magician Esenka about this matter. That's really unreasonable.
But on second thought. Xu Yi felt wrong again.
No matter how close the great magician Truchi was with the great magician Esenka, he should know the truth of keeping it secret. What's more, the great magician Truchi has always acted prudently, so how could he do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi retracted his eyebrows, smiled and said: "As for the fire magic engine, the research and development of our chamber of commerce has not been fully completed. Although it is certain that the power is much stronger than the wind magic engine, there is no way to determine the specifics. How is the performance?"
"Really?" The smile on the face of the great magician Esenka suddenly revealed a trace of mysterious and subtle excitement. "Then President Xu. Are you interested in getting in my car and taking a look?"
"your car?"
Xu Yi looked at the pure black magic car parked at the gate by the great magician Esenka in astonishment, and suddenly remembered that before he walked out the door, he heard the roar of the magic engine spinning outside the door and the sound of sudden braking. They seem to be slightly different from the magic cars produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"Could it be that the great magician Esenka modified this magic car privately?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly became interested.
For now, all the magic cars on the market are produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and other chambers of commerce cannot really master the production technology because of the complexity of the production of magic cars.
Now, although it is impossible for the great magician Esenka to produce a magic car by himself, if he can modify the magic car by himself. That proves that he must have mastered the technology related to the magic car to a considerable degree.
Xu Yi has never felt nervous because other people can master magic machinery-related technology equivalent to that of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, he is very happy that other people can also have a deep grasp in this regard.
He even looked forward to other than the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. There are others who can develop newer and better technologies for magic machines.
Because only in this way can it be considered that other people have truly participated in promoting the development of the magic industry, making Xu Yi one step closer to the ideal of creating a complete industrial system in his heart.
So he looked at the pure black magic car with excitement and anticipation, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Regarding Xu Yi's reaction, the great magician Esenka seemed a little taken aback, but then he reacted and invited Xu Yi into the car with a smile.
As soon as he sat in the co-pilot seat, Xu Yi immediately discovered that this magic car was indeed different from the magic car that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce showed.
Below the main driver's seat, there is an extra pedal, and on the center console, in addition to the buttons that control the magic air conditioner in the car, there are also a few more buttons that I don't know what to do.
Because of these extra buttons, the overall look of the console has also changed.
As for what has become inside, it is impossible to see clearly because it is separated by a smooth plastic plate.
Xu Yi turned his head to look at the back of the carriage again, but he didn't find much difference.
Thinking of the great magician Esenka's confidence in this magic car, Xu Yi thought that the biggest difference might be in the core part of the magic car, which is currently invisible.
"President Xu, are you seated?" asked the great magician Esenka, who was already sitting upright in the driver's seat.
"Well, it's time to start." Xu Yi nodded.
"Okay, let's go!"
The great magician Esenka reached out and pressed a button on the console, and Xu Yi immediately felt a wave of magic power on the magic car site.
Xu Yi was puzzled when he felt the wind magic element rotating and flowing below at a high speed with the fluctuation of magic power.
From the start point of view, there is no difference between this magic car and the magic car manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. They both use wind-type magic engines, and how can they have the performance of the "other magic engines" mentioned by the great magician Esenka just now? ?
However, at the next moment, Xu Yi suddenly felt a strong wave of fire magic elements erupting from the chassis of the magic car, and then the whole magic car rushed out like a wild horse.
Xu Yi was horrified.
This is the downtown area of Anweimar City!
If you rush out at this speed, you may hit someone at any time!
Before he lost his thoughts, the magic car rushed out of a street intersection, and the pedestrians on the road ahead were within easy reach.
"Is the great magician Esenka trying to kill someone?" A trace of anger emerged from Xu Yi's heart.
Just when he wanted to mobilize the magic power of his whole body to forcibly support the magic car, the great magician Esenka suddenly swung his right hand, which immediately disrupted the fluctuation of magic power in the space around him, making it impossible for him to speed up the magic power elements at all.
Xu Yi was startled and angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as the magic car rushed past at high speed and was about to hit a pedestrian.
At this moment, the right hand of the great magician Esenka clicked on a button on the center console again. (To be continued..)
