Chapter 68 Greetings Between Magisters
A week later, Xu Yi left the Maro Empire as planned.
A small delegation from Marotti's army also left with him, including Viscount Eto'o, the clerk of the Logistics Department who had met him before.
This delegation will follow Xu Yiyi back to the Principality of Standing for a while to conduct an actual inspection of various military magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as a reference for the final decision on whether to purchase.
Under the high-speed flight of the magic airship, a group of people crossed the ultra-long distance of more than 2,000 kilometers between the Maro Empire and the Principality of Standing in just one day, and arrived at the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as he got off the magic airship, Eto'o, who was nominally leading the delegation, let out a long breath with a look of amazement.
All the members of Marlowe's army who followed behind him also showed expressions of surprise like him, obviously shocked by what they saw in front of them.
Xu Yi was not surprised by this. Almost everyone who came to the Principality of Standing from other countries for the first time would show this look, and he had long been used to it.
"Everyone, the long-distance travel must be very tiring. Please go to the accommodation arranged by our chamber of commerce to rest for a night, and how about discussing business tomorrow?" Xu Yi suggested.
All the members of Marlowe's army looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Although the journey is very comfortable in a magic airship, but after all, it takes a long time, and it would be a lie to say that it is not tiring.
Eto'o, the nominal head of the team, also had no opinion on this, and nodded in agreement.
But after everyone else made arrangements, he grabbed Xu Yi's arm. A little excitedly said: "President Xu, how about taking me to see the off-road magic motorcycle you mentioned?"
Xu Yi glanced at him in surprise: "Don't be in such a hurry, right? And this new type of off-road vehicle has not been fully developed yet. I can't see anything now."
"It has not been fully developed, which means that part of it has been developed, right?" Eto'o still did not give up. "Take me to take a look. After reading those materials, the logistics department of the military department is very interested in this thing. I can guarantee that as long as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really make it, our logistics department will definitely send you a lot of money." Order. So... President Xu, for a big customer like us, can't you give some discounts first?"
Xu Yi looked at Eto'o quite speechlessly. I wonder if this guy is also a hidden motorcycle fanatic?
After thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that the influence was not too great, so he nodded and agreed.
The two boarded Xu Yi's private magic car and drove like lightning to the Magic Locomotive R&D Center in the northeast of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's base.
As soon as he entered the gate, a dark black magic car drove over quickly, and when it was about to hit Xu Yi's magic car, it slammed on the brakes and stopped.
After he came to a complete stop, the front of the car was less than half a meter away from the front of Xu Yi's magic car. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Eto'o, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned pale with fright, but Xu Yi seemed to have been used to it for a long time, without any strange expression. He just rolled his eyes and poked his head out of the car window. Shouted loudly: "Grandpa, can't you drive slowly!"
A white-haired head poked out of the driver's window of the magic car on the opposite side, glared at Xu Yi, and snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Are you still worried that I will hit someone?"
"I'm not worried that you will bump into someone, but you are always like this, is it scary?" Xu Yi said angrily.
"Huh? Are you still scared, kid? Are you kidding me?" Magister Camilla poked her head out with a look of disdain, and after glancing here, her eyes fell on Eto'o beside Xu Yi , showing a suddenly realized expression. "So there are guests, why? Where did they come from?"
"This is a guest from the Maro Empire. It's his first time here. I don't want him to be frightened." Xu Yi explained.
"From the Maro Empire?" Magister Camilla glanced at Eto'o again, and suddenly raised her voice: "Hey, you can ask Xu Yi to bring you here, you must be in the Maro Empire Not low, right? Do you know Alasta Magister? How is he doing recently?"
"Magister Alasta?" Eto'o looked at Magister Camilla in surprise, as if thinking of something, the expression on his face instantly became extremely respectful. "You... Your Excellency is the Magister Camilla?"
"Well, I'm Camilla. You know me, so you should know Magister Alasta. Tell me how he is doing now?" Magister Camilla continued to ask.
Knowing that the other party turned out to be Camilla Magister, who is the most valued by all parties in the Duchy of Constantine, Eto'o immediately opened the car door, walked over, saluted Camilla Magister respectfully, and replied: "My status is not enough to know the honorable Alasta Magister, but I heard that Alasta Magister has been concentrating on researching a certain magic recently, and there is no other news."
"Well... this guy has always been like this, it's not surprising." Magister Camilla waved to Eto'o after pondering for a moment. "Okay, if you and Xu Yi have any business to do, go ahead and do it, I won't delay you."
After leaving these words, Magister Camilla restarted the magic car she was sitting on, and disappeared in the distance of the road in an instant.
Eto'o stared blankly at the magic car going away, and stayed there for a while, until Xu Yi drove the magic car to his side and motioned him to get on the car.
"President Xu, Magister Camilla seems to like driving magic cars?" Eto'o asked after getting into the car.
Xu Yi laughed: "He not only likes to drive a magic car, but also likes to drive a magic assault boat, a magic airship, in short, he likes everything that is fast. Why? Think it's weird?"
"No, it's not surprising. It's just... just thinking that such a distinguished magister like him would like to do these things is really unexpected."
Xu Yi chuckled, thinking that if you knew that Magister Camilla often went to participate in racing competitions, wouldn't it be more unexpected?
However, compared to Eto'o's question, Xu Yi paid more attention to the Alasta magister mentioned by Camilla magister just now.
From the tone of Magister Camilla just now, it can be seen that he seems to have a very good personal relationship with Magister Alasta, otherwise he would not just mention it in front of Eto'o so casually.
"It would be great if grandpa could abduct this Alasta magister to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce..."
This thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind, and then he laughed at himself and shook his head.
Even if the magister is the highest-ranking person in the Maro Empire, how could he come to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so this is simply wishful thinking.
After restarting the magic car, Xu Yi drove Eto'o into the magic locomotive research and development center and came to a small hill in the north.
There are some obvious differences between this small hill and the surrounding environment, as if it was specially left behind.
At this time, in this small hill, five magic locomotives, which are similar in appearance to large freight magic locomotives, can be seen slowly moving forward in the hills.
The slopes of these hills are different, the ground is even more uneven, and there are even some stones of different sizes in many places, which makes it extremely difficult to pass through at first glance.
Eto'o just glanced at it, and immediately affirmed that in this environment, if a road is not specially opened, it is absolutely impossible for a traditional horse-drawn carriage to go up.
Although the five magic locomotives that are driving in the hills are slow and seem a little strenuous, they drive over very steadily.
Eto'o's eyes lit up: "President Xu, is this an off-road vehicle?"
"Well... it's still in the experiment, so you can't see it completely. When the four-wheel drive system matures, they will be able to run faster on such road conditions." Xu Yi explained.
"No no, that's enough!" Eto'o said excitedly. "President Xu, are they not loaded with cargo now?"
"It hasn't entered the limit load test yet, so no."
"Then if they load goods, how much can they load and climb up like this?" Eto'o asked again.
"According to the inference from the data, the minimum requirement we give is that loading five tons of cargo will not affect it." Xu Yi replied. "Of course, the maximum loading capacity of these large magic freight locomotives on flat ground is 20 tons, which is temporarily unreachable."
"Five tons is enough!" Eto'o didn't hide the excitement in his eyes at all. "President Xu, please sell me these five magic motorcycles, I will take them back to the empire immediately, and use them to silence some people!"
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling, thinking that Eto'o was really refreshing.
It's a pity that he is just an ordinary clerk in Marlowe's headquarters, and he can't decide many things.
But after thinking about it, although he looks like an ordinary clerk on the surface, since he was actually able to be the nominal head of the delegation, and came to investigate on behalf of the logistics department of the Marlowe Ministry, it can be seen that he In fact, the status must not be low.
If you can establish a good relationship with him, you should be able to sell to the Marlowe Ministry more smoothly than before.
However, after Xu Yi paused, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, these five magic motorcycles are all experimental machines and cannot be sold."
"Really?" Eto'o was a little disappointed. "It's a bit difficult to convince them without a realistic example in front of them."
"If you want to give evidence, you don't necessarily need real objects, do you?" Xu Yi smiled slightly, reaching out to Eto'o as an inviting gesture. "Viscount Eto'o, if you are interested, please come with me. I will show you a demonstration video about the brand new cross-country cargo magic locomotive. After watching this video, I believe you will have a better understanding of their capabilities. Learn more.
"Show the video?" Eto'o was a little puzzled.
"Okay, maybe I should say it's a magic illusion movie, so that it will be easier for you to understand." Xu Yi laughed.
"Magic phantom film?" Eto'o was still at a loss. (To be continued..)
