Chapter 23 Akali Was Arrested!

How to strike the right balance between work and family is a difficult question for a lot of sociologists on the planet, and Steele certainly can't get the answer so easily.

And for Evita and Akali, two people who didn't even form their own small families, it was even more of a non-existent problem.

Besides, the two of them are bothered by various research issues all day long, so how can they have time to think about other issues.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now made a breakthrough in the Maro Empire, so Xu Yi attaches great importance to the various tasks in the private domain of Marquis Southgate.

As the technical core of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Research Institute naturally has to provide a lot of support in these tasks.

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

During this period of time, Evita needs to be responsible for the allocation of personnel information and make adjustments, which can be said to be very busy.

And Akali led the members of the magic resonance technology research team, running around to provide technical support for the erection of magic signal towers and the laying of magic communication networks, a bit busier than Evita.

The last time Evita saw Akali was half a month ago when Akali came back to mobilize his subordinates for support. At that time, Akali's complexion was obviously much darker. Obviously, she had been working outdoors during this time. Lively tanned.

However, Akali's spirit is very good, not only as energetic as usual. Even his eyes were frighteningly bright. Clearly very committed to the job at hand. And have a lot of fun doing it.

Evita and Akali have been friends for many years, and this is the first time that she is so excited about one thing, so I am naturally happy for her from the bottom of my heart.

She and Akali are both children of ordinary families in the Kingdom of Lampari. Although many people envy the talent of magicians, after they embarked on the road of magicians, they realized that talent alone is not enough. , but also need opportunities and more important financial support Caixing.

The two were of ordinary origin. The family does not have enough financial support for them to do the expensive magic research, and it is their best effort to allow them to enter the Lampari Royal Academy.

Originally, both of them thought that it would be good to become a senior magician of level five or above in this life, and spend their lives like this as an ordinary magician.

But they didn't expect that since they met Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, their fate would undergo a huge change.

Now the two of them not only have greatly improved their economic conditions, but also work in jobs they like.

In particular, in order to continue to focus on the research of magic circle resonance technology, Akali even rejected Xu Yi's invitation to go to Lampari Kingdom to serve as the director of the R&D center of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which shows that she loves her current research.

For the choice of a good friend, Evita certainly supports her in her heart, and she herself agrees with the bright future of the magic communication network described by Xu Yi on the Sien continent in the future, and feels that the project Akali researches can be her A choice to devote a lifetime to.

So when the news that Akali was arrested suddenly came. Evita was stunned for five minutes before she realized it. He found Xu Yi immediately.

"Master President, how is Akali doing now?"

Xu Yi took a deep breath, patted Evita's shoulder lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, there should be nothing wrong now."

"But why was she arrested?" Evita was so anxious that there was even a hint of crying in her voice. "She is already a seventh-level magician. How could she be arrested so easily? The person who arrested her must be very powerful, right? Will she be in danger?"

Xu Yi snorted, his face sinking like water: "It's just some jumping clowns, what's so good." After a pause, he took another breath, looked at Evita, and continued in a slow voice: "Evita, don't worry , Akali will not be in danger. I will rescue her as soon as possible, you..."

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

Xu Yi's expression paused, and he frowned and looked at Evita, but saw her staring straight at him with her eyes fixed, her expression was extremely firm, and she didn't mean to back down in the slightest.

Xu Yi has known Evita for so many years, and he knows 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 for him to see her firm eyes and expression in so many years, so he naturally knew that she had made up her mind.

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

An hour later, Hart, the captain of the guard team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, led carefully selected 200 human guards, 100 elf guards, 100 dwarf guards, and 100 orc guards, totaling 500 meters. Get on the magic airship.

A total of ten magical airships took off at the same time, forming a dark cloud in the sky in an instant, and projected on the ground, forming a large shadow.

This is the first time that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce dispatched so many magic airships at the same time since it developed the magic airship, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, the speed of the magic airship was extremely fast. After flying in mid-air and pausing for a while, they all flew to the south at high speed, and disappeared into the vast sky in the distance in an instant.

"Master President, can you tell me what happened? Why was Akali suddenly arrested? Who arrested her?"

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

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

The whereabouts of Akali are now very clear, and it should currently fall into the hands of Earl Dole in the southern part of the Principality of Standing.

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

When Dago Ompes reported to Xu Yi that they had been secretly obstructed by the local nobles when they were laying the magic power signal tower in the south of the principality, Xu Yi actually didn't take it too seriously.

After all, these nobles in the Principality of Standing had already been frightened and even suppressed by him, and they all became like toothless tigers. They dared not have any nobles dare to really defy the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After he asked Dago Onpes to take some guards to warn the nobles in the south last time, the subsequent laying of the magic communication network became very smooth, and everything went smoothly.

This time Akali led her men there because the magic power signal tower in that area was basically set up, and she wanted to lead her research team to complete the final activation of the magic power network.

Unexpectedly, such an accident suddenly appeared now.

Seeing that the magic power network was about to be fully activated, and when the work was about to end, Earl Dole, the most powerful local, suddenly launched an attack and led his own private guards to surround the workplace of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, arresting all technicians and workers , Akali is among them.

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

Since it was an action aimed at the entire construction team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Akali should not be under too much threat for the time being.

Because Earl Dole must be very clear that if this matter is to be resolved, of course he must negotiate directly with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Before the results of the negotiations came out, Earl Dole obviously would not take any extra actions.

"I think Akali must be unwilling to leave her subordinates and escape by herself, so she was arrested, right? Otherwise, with her current magical strength, it should be no problem to escape from the private guard of a small nobleman. "Evita said.

However, Xu Yi frowned and shook his head slightly.

"No, according to the news from the investigation, Akali and everyone were arrested without any resistance."

Evita was stunned: "No way? How could there be someone in Earl Dole's personal guard who could easily capture Akali? He's just an ordinary little nobleman."

Although Earl Dole is an earl in name, he is only an earl in the small country of the Principality of Standing after all, not to mention compared with the earls in the Candela Empire or the Maro Empire, even compared to the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruhr Empire. Compared with the Xun Kingdom, it is much worse.

Under the name of such a real little nobleman, it is quite good to have some private guards, but if you want to have a powerful subordinate who is enough to make Akali, a seventh-level magician, have no resistance, then It is simply impossible.

"I don't know either. There is too little news coming back now, so I can only go and read it." Xu Yi shook his head and sighed. Seeing Evita frowning, he smiled gratefully and comforted her: "No need. I'm worried, Baron Dole probably doesn't have the guts to really hurt Akali and the others. I think he just wants to use them to threaten me and negotiate with me."

"Well, I know." Evita nodded slightly, but her brows frowned even tighter. "But Mr. President, I still can't figure it out. Doesn't this Earl Dole know that if he does this, he will completely offend our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Hasn't he considered the consequences?"

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

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

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