Chapter 90 Treason

After finishing the negotiation with the Luerson Kingdom, Xu Yi and Kennard left the Luerson Kingdom at the same time.

Kennard went to the small town of Ampreston in the Duchy of Milan to inspect the construction progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce factory there, and Xu Yi entered the Kingdom of Lampari according to the scheduled itinerary.

It has been nearly half a year since he left Bangta City last time, Xu Yi came back here this time, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although from the outside, Bangta City has not changed much compared to when he left, but it is precisely because there is no change that Xu Yi is extremely moved.

I think that when he and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were both in Bangta City, there would be a little new change in Bangta City almost every day, and if they didn't see each other after half a year, it would even become completely different.

But now that Xu Yi has been away for half a year, there has been no change in Bangta City, which shows that Bangta City has actually entered a state of stagnation in the past six months, and there has been no development at all.

This city, which was always full of vigor in the past few years, seems to have fallen into a dead silence at this moment.

Looking at the rainy road outside the city that was cracked everywhere due to lack of maintenance, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

This road can be regarded as the most important road in Bangta City in the past few years. It is even called "the road to wealth" by many people in Bangta City. There are countless cars almost every day and every hour. Horse-drawn carriages and magic locomotives run back and forth on this road, and countless pedestrians shuttle back and forth on it. But now, Xu Yi stood beside this road for a full ten minutes, but only saw three carriages running over it, and two of them were obviously the most ordinary old-fashioned carriages for people, and only one It is a carriage loaded with goods.

Glancing at the far end of the Luoyu Highway connecting the Luoyu Valley in the west, Xu Yi then turned his head to look at the old city of Bangta City, which could be vaguely seen in the distance to the east. Couldn't help but shook his head.

No matter how close the city was with him before, but now that he has separated from the city, it is none of his business what the city has become, and he has no ability or qualification to manage it.

No matter how the Lampari Kingdom tosses Bangta City, the consequences will be borne by Bangta City and the Lampari Kingdom themselves. Xu Yi didn't need to pay attention.

But for Xu Yi, there are some people he has to pay attention to, and that is the students of Baron Rictor's Academy of Magic.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce set up a special grant fund at the Baron Rictor School of Magic more than three years ago to subsidize the students of the school and encourage them to continue their studies.

Now more than three years have passed, and the students who were assisted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Student Fund have graduated two batches ahead of schedule. Most of them finally chose to work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Currently in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, many of the magicians who are responsible for drawing magic circles for various magic machines are students of the Baron Rictor School of Magic.

And now more than three years later, the group of students who received the most assistance from the student fund at the beginning just graduated this year. Xu Yi made a special trip back to Bangta City this time to meet these students in person.

The two batches of students who graduated before were ordinary magic school students. For Xu Yi, there is not much difference from the magicians recruited by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, the students who graduated this year have been instructed by Xu Yi from the very beginning. While learning magic knowledge, they also took into account the knowledge of mechanical theory. At the same time, they have been learning the combination of magic and machinery in the past three years. knowledge.

In the past three years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and these students have created a lot of practical opportunities, so that they have not yet graduated from the Baron Rictor School of Magic, and they already have a considerable theoretical and practical foundation for magic machinery.

Such a magician is what Xu Yi really values. A magical mechanical engineer with both magic and mechanical knowledge...of course, a candidate.

If they can work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a few years, Xu Yi believes that it won't take long. From it, we can cultivate magical mechanical engineers who can really come in handy.

Xu Yi's actions at Baron Rictor's School of Magic went smoothly.

Over the years, the Baron Rictor Academy of Magic has been receiving funds from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even though the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has left the Kingdom of Lampari in the past year or so, there has never been a shortage of funds. Therefore, no matter what, the Baron Rictor Academy of Magic I have always supported Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now coming to reap the fruits of the previous planting, and the Baron Rictor School of Magic can only be happy. No thought of rejection.

And those students are even more excited, and it can even be said that they can't wait.

They have received funding from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for up to three years. No matter from emotion or under the constraints of the original agreement, it is basically determined that after graduation, he will work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, while learning magic during these three years, they also learned a lot of mechanical engineering knowledge. This let them know that the most suitable job for them is to engage in magic machinery related work.

And if it is related to magic machinery, which chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent can be compared with Xinfei chamber of commerce?

The salary of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is high, the treatment is good, and the benefits are varied. It is the dream of many people to work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now that they have this opportunity to directly choose to enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no student would think of rejecting it.

So for Xu Yi's arrival, almost all the students who have received the bursary fund of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce expressed their extreme welcome.

Originally, the graduation of the college students was occasionally sad, and there were always some sentimental little girls who would cry because of the separation of their classmates. However, the graduation ceremony of the Baron Rictor School of Magic this year was a scene of joy and reconciliation. , which is quite different from previous years.

However... this peaceful atmosphere was destroyed by a group of heavily armed Bangta city guards who suddenly broke into the college.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that it was Chopinna, the leader of the city guards of Bangta City who ran to the front and led the city guards, Fudinger, the dean of Baron Rictor's School of Magic, was shocked.

What happened, that the commander of the city guards would go out in person?

However, Chopin completely ignored Verdinger's question, turned his head, and locked his eyes on Xu Yi who was surrounded by a pair of students. With a wave of his hand, the city guards behind him immediately swarmed up, pushing away all the surrounding students, and surrounded Xu Yi in the middle.

Looking at the surrounding city guards, they were on tight alert and full of hostility. Everyone was taken aback.

Xu Yi was even more baffled, looked at Chopin in surprise, and asked, "Commander Chopin, what are you doing? Did I do something wrong?"

Although Xinfei merchants were forced to leave the Lampali Kingdom by the Magic Industry Management Agency before, this is all a unilateral issue of the Magic Industry Management Agency. Neither the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nor Xu Yi can find anything wrong. Come.

What's more, the officials of the Lampari Kingdom are not willing to make things so rigid. So Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left the Lampari Kingdom peacefully.

On the official side of the Lampari Kingdom, Xu Yi is still a citizen of the Lampari Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still a member of the Lampari Kingdom.

Xu Yi wanted to return to the Lampari Kingdom at will. He had come back several times before without any problems.

Why did this suddenly happen today?

Chopin looked serious. Loudly said to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, I advise you not to try to resist, but to surrender obediently. Otherwise, we have the right to kill you on the spot!"...

"Kill on the spot?" Xu Yi suddenly laughed, turned to look at the circle of city guards around him, shook his head and said: "I said, Commander Chopin, you should know my magic strength, tell me Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to say that?”

Chopin obviously understood this too. So his expression was a little nervous, he paused, and then shouted: "Xu Yi. I warn you, no matter how powerful your magic is, you are only one person, and it is impossible to compete with the entire Lampari Kingdom. If you are wise , just surrender obediently, maybe you can save your life. If you really dare to resist. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xu Yi shrugged and glanced at the dean, director, teachers and students of the Baron Rictor School of Magic around him. I found that they were the same as myself, they all looked inexplicable.

"I said... Commander Chopin. You keep saying that you want to arrest me, but you have to tell me what I did wrong, right? It's unreasonable to want to arrest someone without any name, right?"

Chopin's face darkened: "Xu Yi, what you committed is the most serious crime of treason! Originally, it was considered a heinous crime, but His Majesty the King gave you a special gift, exempting you from the death penalty, as long as you go to see the king with us immediately By His Majesty's side, you can save your life."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar all around.

Crime of treason?

When did Xu Yi treason?

Xu Yi was even more baffled.

"I betrayed my country? What country did I betray?"

"The specific charges will be known when you see His Majesty the King. Now you just need to be obedient and get caught." Chopin said sharply: "I warn you again, don't try to resist. Otherwise, you will be arrested." It is directly designated as treason, and you will be wanted in the entire kingdom from now on. All the industries left by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the kingdom will be directly confiscated by the kingdom council. So I advise you to think carefully."

Xu Yi sneered in his heart.

After a long time, the guys in the Lampari Kingdom even wanted to directly occupy the foundations they left behind as fire seeds, which really didn't leave him any room.

Immediately felt a little strange.

Before that, the official attitude of the Lampari Kingdom towards him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had always been very nasty. Although they crowded out everywhere, they never did things to death.

Even from the past few months, the official attitude of the Lampari Kingdom towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has significantly eased.

In the two cities last month, they even took the initiative to propose a joint venture to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build factories.

All these signs indicate that the Lampari Kingdom officials seem to want to restore the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi originally guessed that King Eric's attitude had changed, which led to these changes.

But now this sudden so-called "treason" charge is clearly intended to completely block the way for Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to return to the Lampari Kingdom.

Did King Eric suddenly change his attitude?

Chopin didn't give Xu Yi more time to think. As soon as he finished speaking and waved his hand, the city guards surrounding Xu Yi stepped forward one after another.

Judging from this posture, they were obviously planning to directly restrain Xu Yi.

Xu Yi frowned, and the magic power in his body quickly circulated, and he was ready to make a move.

It is absolutely impossible to be captured by these city guards obediently. He is not sure about King Eric's attitude now.

Here he can move forward and retreat freely, but if he really goes to Anweimar City, there are still enough people in Anweimar City to restrain him.

But this created another problem.

It is impossible for the Kingdom of Lampari to be completely unaware of his magical power, but to send such a small group of city guards to claim to arrest him, which is obviously an impossible task.

So what is the Kingdom of Lampari thinking?

Is it simply to force him out of the Lampari Kingdom?

Just as countless thoughts were turning over in Xu Yi's mind, suddenly a rush of horseshoes sounded outside the academy.

A moment later, a neat row of cavalry galloped from the gate of the academy.

Seeing the face of the leading cavalryman, Xu Yi was stunned.

"No way? Why is she here?"
