Volume 1 Chapter 93 (1/2)
Majestic Lord Viscount
Two days later, a companion of seven horse drawn carriages slowly entered the Lampuri Kingdom’s capital, Anvilmar City.
The cavalcade had just entered the city gates and passed the first corner when Baron Hannas jumped down from the first carriage.
“Leslie, Xu Yi, I’ll be going back home alone first. I’ll come find you guys when I have time. That’s right, Xu Yi, perhaps my father will be interested in seeing you.”
“That would truly be my honour.” Xu Yi said with a smile.
Baron Hannas knit his brows and shook his head, “My father, he……Forget it, since it’s hard for you to take this trip, seeing more people should be a good thing for you. Alright, we’ll decide it like this. I’ll be leaving first, see you.” He waved his hand to Xu Yi and Viscount Leslie after saying this and then he turned the corner.
“Is he going to walk back?” Xu Yi watched as Baron Hannas leisurely walked through the streets filled with people and was a bit surprised.
“Marquis Theuer’s manor isn’t far from here.” Viscount Leslie casually explained before giving an order to the driver. The cavalcade began to move in a different direction.
As the capital of the Lampuri Kingdom, how lively Anvilmar City was was far from something a small Banta City could compare to. The cavalcade didn’t move smoothly and after spending half an hour, they had only crossed three streets.
“If we didn’t bring so many things, we could also jump out of the horse carriage. Walking there would probably be faster.” Xu Yi opened the window curtain and looked at the bustling crowd outside. He thought about traffic jams back in the large cities on earth, he never thought that he would encounter them in this world too.
“There’s no other way. Anvilmar City is the biggest city in the kingdom, so naturally there are more people here compared to Banta City. Then again, it’ll be the Magicians Guild’s certification exam soon, so there are more people in the city compared to usual. It would be strange if it wasn’t this busy.” Viscount Leslie also looked out the window and he didn’t look rushed at all, rather he had a faint smile, “I would frequently wander the streets alone as a child, so seeing this scene brings up fond memories.”
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders. He really couldn’t resonate with Viscount Leslie in this aspect.
The cavalcade slowly moved forward on the large street and it was a good thing their destination wasn’t far away. Xu Yi was not in a rush, so he looked out the window in a relaxed manner.
It was like Viscount Leslie said, because if was close to the Magicians Guild’s certification exam, there were more magicians in their magic robes in Anvilmar City. Some came alone, some wandered in groups of twos and threes, while there was also a group of young children who were around ten years old.
“Those children should have been arranged by a magic academy.” Viscount Leslie looked at the children to the right of the carriage in the same uniforms before looking back at Xu Yi with a strange smile on his face, “Hey, Xu Yi, I’ve heard that you’ve arranged something called the student aid fund at the Baron Rickto Magic Academy a few days ago? Are you planning to trick those students to work at your company?”
“What tricking?” Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie, “I was very clear on the conditions, how could it be considered tricking someone? Then again, it isn’t bad for them to come work at our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. The wage isn’t low and we give them a large space to develop. This is such a good thing that some people can’t even obtain it if they wanted.” He pointed at the group of children outside the carriage after he said this, “Let me tell you, if it is possible, I want to establish the Frestech student aid fund in every magic academy. It’s best if all the children of magic academies knew about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.”
Viscount Leslie took a deep look at Xu Yi, “Are you planning to change the views of magicians starting with the children?”
“You can tell?” Xu Yi revealed a smile before revealing a bit of a helpless look, “There’s no other way. It is just too hard to change the views of adult magicians, I can only start planning long term.”
“Actually it isn’t as hard as you think.” Viscount Leslie said in a thoughtful voice, “Think about it, since you could convince Great Magician Camilla, it means that you can also convince the other magicians. To be blunt, as long as you can give them enough benefits, it isn’t impossible to change their thoughts. Of course, if you want to change the thoughts of the entire Magicians Guild…...With your current strength, it isn’t too likely.”
Xu Yi gave a sigh, “Lord Viscount, you’re just wasting words.”
Viscount Leslie gave a laugh, “Anyway, I won’t interfere with how the company is managed, so I’m just giving you my thoughts. As for whether you listen or that, that’s up to you.”
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at Viscount Leslie. When he wanted to curse him a few times, there was suddenly a pitiful cry and several shocked calls that cut through their conversation.
Following the sound, they saw a large empty space in front of the horse carriage. There was a man who was wearing a tattered black robe that rolled a few times, landing right in front of the horse carriage.
If it wasn’t for the driver’s fast reactions and pulled on the reins, he would have already been crushed under the hooves of the horse.
Three young men in luxurious clothes came out of the crowd. After looking at the man on the ground, the youth in the middle sent a kick right into that person’s chest and cursed, “I already told you not to block this young master’s path and you dare not listen? Don’t you think you deserve a beating? Un?”
While saying this, the youth kept sending kicks onto that person.
It was unknown if that person didn’t dare resist or if he didn’t have the strength to resist at all. Although each kick made his body reel in pain, he only gave a soft grunt and didn’t react in any other way.
Xu Yi knit his brows. He looked at the three youths before looking at the person on the ground, as hesitation formed in his heart.
Xu Yi was a bit unwilling to endure, but seeing the luxurious clothes of the three youths and how they dared to act this arrogantly on the streets of Anvilmar City, they were probably juniors of some noble family. If he rashly made a move, perhaps he might attract some trouble.
When Xu Yi was hesitating, the other two youths joined in on the beating.
With the three working together, sending kicks down, the person on the ground opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. It sprinkled on the tiles of the ground and looked very shocking.
