Chapter 5 Release From Slavery
Seeing Xu Yi walk in, Steele immediately greeted him with the hangover soup he had prepared earlier.
"How was the conversation with Ambassador Hakain?" Steele asked with a smile.
Xu Yi took a sip of hangover soup, let out a breath, and felt that the dizziness in his head had improved a lot.
Hakan's other abilities are lackluster, but his drinking capacity is terrible.
Xu Yi had always thought that he could drink well before, even if he could compete with the dwarves who were addicted to alcohol, but he didn't expect that when he faced Ambassador Hakanin at noon, he returned in a big defeat and was almost defeated by Ambassador Hakanin. Put it down directly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has minimized socializing in the past few years and controlled the number of times he drinks.
"It's okay." Xu Yi nodded. "There are many nobles and big merchants in the Candela Empire who are very interested in the magic machines of our chamber of commerce. This time, Ambassador Hakain is just here as their vanguard to sniff out the news. There should be many representatives from the Candela chamber of commerce in the future. We discuss specific matters."
"Well... I've said it a long time ago, magic machinery is so useful and novel, it will definitely be welcomed by those in the Candela Empire. This has been verified in several surrounding countries." Steele smiled. Xu Yi laughed, thinking that he never doubted this point.
However, judging from the news revealed by Ambassador Hakain, the royal family of the Kandela Empire may have noticed the military magic machinery and developed a certain interest.
However, judging from the attitude of Ambassador Hakain, the royal family of the Kandela Empire should not have a deep understanding of military magic machinery, so they are only interested, but not too strong. So it doesn't seem very positive.
And according to Xu Yi's own plan, now is not a good time to spread the magic machines used by generals to the entire continent.
Because if even behemoths like the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire are eyeing the military magic machinery, it will be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to hold on to it with its current strength.
And if the technology in this area is targeted by the two empires, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may cause trouble to the upper body.
So when I was talking with Ambassador Hakain before. When talking about military magic machinery, Xu Yi was vague, deliberately downplaying the role of military magic machinery.
Xu Yi was very glad that the Candela Empire had sent Ambassador Hakanin, a guy who relied on his nepotism to sit on the ambassadorship. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to think of a way to coax the past, so that the Candela Empire's focus would be temporarily diverted from the military magic machinery. Except for military magic machines, Xu Yi answered very readily.
Ambassador Hakain hopes to bring back some samples of magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to show the noble merchants in the Kandela Empire. Xu Yi readily agreed.
And Ambassador Hakanin may have gotten some hints from the actions of these noble businessmen, and proposed that he also wanted to buy a batch of household magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Identity said that the batch of household magic machines provided to Ambassador Hakain can be sold at a very favorable price.
Ambassador Hakan was overjoyed. Naturally, the two sides chatted happily.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi took the wet towel from Steele's hand and wiped it vigorously on his face.
Even though it is already a scorching summer day, Xu Yi's spirits are still refreshed by the water with ice cubes specially added to his face.
Seeing Xu Yiqiang's energetic appearance, Steele frowned slightly.
"Looking at you like this, why don't you go in the afternoon?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, the ceremony in the afternoon is very important. I have to be there in person."
Steele sighed softly and stopped persuading.
She was very aware of the importance of the ceremony in the afternoon, and she also knew that Xu Yi attached great importance to the significance of this ceremony.
"Then you rest first. I'll go find Yanis."
"Anis?" Xu Yi was startled, but Steele had already left.
Xu Yi was stunned for a while. Seeing that it was still early, he didn't bother to go back to the bedroom. He went to the terrace at the back of the manor, which was backed by the cliff, and lay down on the deck chair.
Although it is early summer. But the terrace backs against the cliff and faces the sea. At this time, the sea breeze is blowing, and the sun is not too harsh. It is extremely comfortable to lie in the shade.
After a while, Xu Yi fell asleep.
After being dazed for an unknown amount of time, Xu Yi suddenly woke up.
Opening his eyes and looking at the sun on the sea in the distance, Xu Yi judged that it should be less than two o'clock in the afternoon, but it was not far from the official start of the ceremony, so he rubbed his face vigorously and jumped up.
As soon as he stood up, he felt a tearing pain in his head.
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing bitterly.
The pain after drinking is really unimaginable, even though he is now a great magician, there is still no solution to it.
"Xu Yi, are you awake?"
Steele's voice came from behind.
Xu Yi turned around and found Steele and Yanis walking out of the house together.
"I'm about to wake you up, the ceremony is about to begin." Steele pulled Agnes and walked over quickly, then winked at Agnes.
Xu Yi was a little dazed when he saw Yanis' hands reaching towards his head.
"What are you doing?"
"Make you more comfortable." Yanis showed a bright smile, and her hands were already attached to the sides of Xu Yi's head.
After a while, Xu Yi felt the magic power flowing from Yanis' body, and the hands on his head revealed a trace of coolness, which slowly penetrated into the scalp, and then he felt that the headache was greatly relieved.
After going on for about two minutes, Xu Yi didn't feel any headache, and his whole body became more energetic.
"What kind of magic is this?" Xu Yi was surprised.
Yanis giggled, with a slightly satisfied expression.
"This is one of the spiritual magics unique to our elves. Concentration can restore your spirit to normal."
"So amazing?" Xu Yi sighed.
The elves are worthy of being the oldest race in this world, and they can always master so many knowledge that other races do not have, and the same is true in magic.
Spiritual magic is still in the research stage among human magicians, but judging from the magic that Yanis used just now. Obviously, the elves have profound research attainments in spiritual magic.
"How is it? Do you feel comfortable?" Yanis asked with a smile.
"Well, it's much more comfortable." Seeing Yanis' playful and smug smile, Xu Yi couldn't help reaching out and pinching her tall nose. "Such an easy-to-use magic, you can find time to teach me in the future."
Yanis was taken aback, and said with some embarrassment: "This is the secret of our elves..."
Seeing a trace of shame on Yanis' face. Xu Yi laughed, and patted her on the shoulder: "Since it is a secret that cannot be passed on, then forget it. If I want to learn it, I can go back and ask Elder Elusia, and try to get her to agree."
"Well, maybe the elder will agree..." Yanis said uncertainly.
"I'll talk about this later. I'll go first."
Xu Yi raised his hand and bid farewell to the two of them.
Just two steps away, Steele's shout sounded behind him.
"Xu Yi, can you come back early at night? I'm leaving tomorrow..."
Xu Yi stretched out his hand and made an "ok" gesture.
This gesture Steele already knew what it meant. He smiled and nodded.
Xu Yi walked through the manor room and came to the front yard, just in time to see Liz and Linda entering the gate with the bouncing Freya.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile as his eyes swept over the slightly raised bellies of Liz and Linda.
Liz and Linda have been married to her for more than two years, and there was no movement before this year. After the New Year this year, the two seemed to be half-dated, and they were both pregnant.
Steele has become a little more obsessed with himself these days. Just now, he couldn't wait to express to himself that he wanted to accompany her at night, maybe it was because of the stimulation from Liz and Linda.
In other words, I have been married to Steele for more than four years. Now Freya is over three years old, but Steele's stomach has never moved, no wonder she is anxious.
"Hey, Freya, do you want to hang out with Dad?" Xu Yi picked up Freya who rushed over and asked her.
"Okay! I'm going!" Freya happily replied loudly.
Liz and Linda who followed were stunned for a moment. Hastily said: "Master, aren't you going to attend an important ceremony this afternoon? How can you take Freya there? Let us take Freya."
Hear what the two said. Freya immediately widened her eyes and stared straight at Xu Yi. Looking forward to it.
She has passed the age of three, and she has begun to know some ways of the world. She is very clear that in this family, her father has a high authority, and his decision is the final decision.
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, let me take her there. When Freya grows up, she should also participate more in the major events of our chamber of commerce. After all, she will always participate when she grows up, so that other people can get to know her more." It is also necessary to get to know our little Freya."
Liz and Linda looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
According to Xu Yi's announcement when Freya was just born more than three years ago, Freya is Xu Yi's only confirmed heir, so according to the tradition on the continent of Sainz, Freya will inevitably succeed him when he grows up. Xu Yi's position became the new president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Even according to tradition, Freya may become the new master of the two of them.
Xu Yi glanced at Liz and Linda's lower abdomen again, and suddenly said: "By the way, Liz, Linda, I have already submitted a formal application to Congress, hoping that Congress will formally revoke your slave status. If there is no accident , you will soon be free from this slavery."
Lise and Linda were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.
"Really?" The two covered their mouths excitedly, with expressions of disbelief.
On the continent of Sainz, once a slave becomes a slave, there is almost no possibility of turning over.
Because slave owners have absolute power over slaves, even the power of life and death, so in the eyes of most people, slaves are no different from ordinary domestic animals.
Liz and Linda were marked as slaves since they were young, and they never expected to get rid of this identity.
Being able to meet the master Xu Yi made them feel that they were treated equally, and they were even able to conceive Xu Yi's child now. They felt extremely happy about their current life.
And they never imagined that Xu Yi would actually find a way to relieve them of their slave status! And still openly submit this application to Congress!
On the continent of Sainz, this kind of behavior is simply challenging the tradition!
Seeing Xu Yi's affirmative eyes, Liz and Linda couldn't hold back the excitement and joy in their hearts, and at the same time shed hot tears.
Of course Xu Yi understood the excitement in their hearts, smiled, and continued: "You two are pregnant now, and it is not as convenient as before. I have already told Steele that she should find some servants to replace you. work, you can rest in peace."
Liz and Linda were so happy that they couldn't speak, they could only nod vigorously with sobs.
Xu Yi smiled slightly, lifted Freya up, let her sit on his neck, and strode out of the manor.
Lisi and Linda looked at Xu Yi's leaving back, their eyes blurred with tears.
