Volume 6 Chapter 68 - Greetings Between ArChapter Magi
A week later, Xu Yi left the Marlow Empire as scheduled.
There was a small delegation from the Marlow Empireâs army that came with him, which included Viscount Eitro from the logistics department that he had met before.
This delegate followed Xu Yi to the Stantine Duchy, inspecting the various military magic machines of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before making the decision to buy them or not.
With the speed of the Magic Airship, this group only took a single day to cross the two thousand kilometers between the Marlow Empire and the Stantine Duchy to reach the Frestech Chamber of Commerceâs headquarters.
When they stepped off the Magic Airship, Viscount Eitro who was in charge of this delegation let out a long sigh as his eyes filled with shock.
The people from the Marlow Empireâs army headquarters were the same. They revealed the saame surprised look like they were shocked by what they had seen.
Xu Yi wasnât surprised to see this. Almost all the people who came from other countries would show this kind of expression when they arrived in the Stantine Duchy, so he was already used to it.
âEveryone, you must be tired from this long journey. Please rest up in the dwelling that our company has prepared for everyone and letâs discuss business tomorrow, alright?â Xu Yi suggested.
The people from the Marlow Empire army headquarters looked at each other and all nodded.
Although they were riding in the Magic Airship the entire time, so the trip was quite comfortable, it did take a long time, so it was false if it was said that they werenât tired at all.
Eitro, who was the leader of the delegate, didnât have any objections either and gave a nod in agreement.
But after the arrangement for the others were taken care of, he grabbed Xu Yiâs arm and said with an excited look, âChairman Xu, how about you first take me to see the off road Magic Cars that you mentioned before?â
Xu Yi looked at him in surprise, âThereâs no need for such a rush, right? Moreover, this new kind of Magic Car hasnât been developed yet, so you canât see anything now.â
âEven if it isnât fully developed, there are parts that are, right?â Eitro didnât give up, âLet me take a look. After seeing that information, the entire logistics department is very interested in this thing. I can guarantee that as long as your Frestech Chamber of Commerce can finish developing this, our logistics department will make a large order. So.....Chairman Xu, canât you give some preferential treatment to an important guest like us?â
Xu Yi looked at Eitro speechlessly, thinking could this fellow be a hidden fan of motor vehicles?
After thinking about it, Xu Yi thought that it wouldnât matter much, so he nodded in agreement.
The two took Xu Yiâs personal Magic Sedan and headed to the Magic Car development center to the north of the base at lightning speed.
When they came out of the door, there was a pure black Magic Sedan that quickly came out and it suddenly stepped on the brakes when it saw Xu Yiâs Magic Sedan coming over.
After it stopped, the front of the car was only half a meter away from Xu Yiâs Magic Sedan which was a terrifying scene.
Eitro sitting in the passenger seat had a pale face in fear. However, Xu Yi was calm like nothing had happened and didnât seem surprised at all. He rolled his eyes and stuck his head out the window as he called, âGrandfather, can you drive a bit slower!â
There was a head with white hair that came out of the opposite Magic Sedan that looked at Xu Yi before giving a cold snort, âWhat are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Iâll hit people?â
âIâm not worried about you hitting people, but youâre this old already, this is very terrifying, alright?â Xu Yi snappily said.
âHa? Could it be that you were scared? What a joke.â Arch Magus Camillaâs head sticking out had a look of disdain. After looking to the side, his eyes fell onto Eitro beside Xu Yi and revealed a look of understanding, âSo thereâs a guest. What? Where did they come from?â
âItâs a guest from the Marlow Empire. This is their first time here, I donât want to scare him like this.â Xu Yi explained.
âFrom the Marlow Empire?â Arch Magus Camilla took another look at Eitro before suddenly saying, âHey, you can have this kid Xu Yi bring you here, your status in the Marlow Empire shouldnât be low, right? Do you know Arch Magus Alaster? How has he been recently?â
âArch Magus Alaster?â Eitro looked at Arch Magus Camilla in surprise before suddenly thinking of something. His expression instantly became more respectful, âIs your.....excellency Arch Magus Camilla?â
âUn, Iâm Camilla. If you know me, you should know about Arch Magus Alaster. Tell me, how has he been recently?â Arch Magus Camilla kept asking.
After knowing that the other side was the most respected Arch Magus Camilla of the Stantine Duchy, Eitro immediately came out of vehicle and came over to give Arch Magus Camilla a respectful bow before replying, âMy status isnât enough to know the honoured Arch Magus Alaster, but Iâve heard that Arch Magus Alaster has been focused on some research recently, so there hasnât been any news.â
âUn......That fellow is always like this, this isnât strange.â Arch Magus Camilla was silent for a bit before waving his hand at Eitro, âAlright, you can go take care of your business with Xu Yi, I wonât bother you.â
After saying this, Arch Magus Camilla got back into his Magic Sedan and instantly disappeared into the distance.
Eitro watched that Magic Sedan disappear in a daze and he stayed like that until Xu Yi drove the Magic Sedan up beside him and indicated for him to get in.â
âChairman Xu, Arch Magus Camilal seems to like driving Magic Sedans a lot?â Eitro asked after getting in.
Xu Yi gave a laugh, âHe doesnât just love driving the Magic Sedan, he likes driving the Magic Speed Boats and the Magic Airships as well. What? Do you find it strange?â
âNo, itâs not strange. Only......Only the things that a respected Arch Magus like him likes, it really is a bit unexpected.â
Xu Yi gave a laugh. If he knew that Arch Magus Camilla liked to participate in the races, wouldnât you be even more surprised?
But compared to Eitroâs questions, Xu Yi cared more about how Arch Magus Camilla had asked about Arch Magus Alaster.
Based on Arch Magus Camillaâs tone, it seemed like he had a good private relationship with Arch Magus Alaster, otherwise he wouldnât have mentioned it in front of Eitro like that.
âIf grandfather can pull this Arch Magus Alaster over to our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, that would be good......â
Xu Yi had this thought before revealing a smile of self ridicule and shaking his head.
Arch Magi were the most important people in the Marlow Empire, how could they come to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce? This was nothing more than wishful thinking.
After starting the Magic Sedan again, Xu Yi brought Eitro to the Magic Car development center and arrived at a small hill in the north.
This small hill had some clear differences from the surrounding ones, like they were specially made.
On the small hill, there were five large transport Magic Cars that were currently slowly driving along the hill.
The gradient of the hills were different and there were pits in the ground. There were even stones of varying sizes scattered around, looking very hard to pass.
Eitro looked over and was certain that in this environment, if there wasnât a special road paved, normal horse carriages definitely couldnât pass through it.
However, although the five Magic Cars were moving slowly along the hill, looking a bit hard, they were still moving forward bit by bit.
Eitroâs eyes lit up, âChairman Xu, these are the off road vehicles?â
âUn.....They are still being tested, so what you see isnât complete. When the fourth generation driving system is complete, they will be able to drive much faster across these roads.â Xu Yi explained.
âNo, no, this is already enough!â Eitro said in an excited voice, âChairman Xu, they havenât loaded any cargo yet?â
âWe havenât entered the carrying capacity limit testing yet, so not right now.â
âThen if they were loaded up with cargo, how much would it take before it wouldnât be able to move forward anymore?â Eitro asked.
âAccording to the data, our lowest requirement is that it isnât affected by at least five tons.â Xu Yi replied, âOf course, the limit of these large transport Magic Cars are only twenty tons on flat land, so this hasnât been achieved yet.â
âFive tons isnât already enough!â The excitement in Eitroâs eyes wasnât hidden at all, âChairman Xu, please sell these five ton Magic Cars to me. I will bring them back to the empire immediately and use them to shut the mouths of certain people.â
Xu Yi couldnât help thinking that this Eitro really was direct.
It was a pity that he was only a normal part of the Marlow Empireâs army, so he couldnât decide much.
But thinking about it, although he seemed like a normal minister on the surface, he could still lead this delegation and make the decision for the Marlow Empireâs armyâs logistics department. It could be seen that his position wasnât that low.
If he could build a connection with him, he believed that it would be easier selling to the Marlow Empire army.
However, after Xu Yi paused for a bit, he shook his head, âIâm very sorry, the five ton Magic Cars are still an experiment, they arenât planning on being sold right now.â
âIs that so?â Eitro was a bit disappointed, âWithout a real example, it would be a bit hard to convince them.â
âIf you want proof, it doesnât mean having the product, right?â Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and made an inviting gesture to Eitro, âViscount Eitro, if youâre interested, please come with me. I will show you a demonstration video for the new off road transport Magic Cars. After seeing this video, I believe that you will have a better understanding of their abilities.â
âDemonstration video?â Eitro was a bit confused.
âAlright, it should be considered a Magic Illusion Film. You should understand a bit more like this.â Xu Yi said with a smile.
âMagic Illusion Film?â Eitro was still confused.
