Volume 1 Chapter 97 (1/2)

Arrogant agricultural department

The next morning, Viscount Leslie who received the news was standing in front of the burned black storage room with a dark look on his face.

“How are the losses?” After a while, Viscount Leslie finally asked a question to Xu Yi beside him.

“I noticed early, so there weren’t that many losses.” After Xu Yi’s reply, he slightly knit his brows and looked a bit confused.

He had personally saw the spark explode before the flames instantly surrounded the entire storage room. It didn’t seem like a simple fire, rather it looked like someone had set the fire on purpose.

But Xu Yi had just arrived in Anvilmar City yesterday and didn’t know that many people. Naturally he didn’t make any enemies, so why would someone suddenly move against the things he brought over?

Hearing Xu Yi’s doubts, Viscount Leslie was silent for a bit. He suddenly waved his hand and signaled to Housekeeper Lahm and the others to move back.

When everyone was far away, Viscount Leslie gave a sigh and said to Xu Yi, “Xu Yi, I’m the one who implicated you.”

Xu Yi was stunned, “Lord Viscount, why do you say that?”

Viscount Leslie looked northeast wall of the yard and a bitter smile flashed across his face.

“Because some people don’t welcome me back and this is a warning for me.”

Xu Yi’s mouth opened wide, but he didn’t ask anything in the end.

Based on Viscount Leslie’s tone, there must be a complicated reason for this. With Xu Yi’s current status, it would be best if he didn’t take the initiative to involve himself.

“It seems like it’s not safe putting this here. How about this, I’ll help you find a safe place to put it?” Viscount Leslie thought about it before saying this.

Xu Yi shook his head, “There is no need. Since it has already been burnt, this means that the other side must think the things are broken and won’t come to make a move again. Not to mention that this is a warning against the Lord Viscount and since the warning has already succeeded, the results are not important. I will have Housekeeper Lahm increase the guard around here, so there should be no problems.”

Viscount Leslie knit his brows, “Xu Yi, these things are important for your audience, why do I feel you aren’t nervous at all?”

Xu Yi laughed, “I was nervous before it burned down, but after seeing the fire from yesterday, I suddenly thought it through. These things are not that important, the most important thing is what these things represent. There would be no problem if these things were destroyed because our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can make them again. Unless those fellows can use a fire to burn down all of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it doesn’t have any significance.”

Viscount Leslie couldn’t help smiling, “You really are unrestrained, but you aren’t afraid that you can’t take anything out when you meet the king?”

“I am.” Xu Yi gave a serious nod, “So Lord Viscount, you must help me with something.”

###

After sending Viscount Leslie off, Xu Yi returned to the storage room. Seeing everything that had been burned black in front of him, Xu Yi’s relaxed face gradually sunk.

In front of Viscount Leslie, Xu Yi didn’t completely tell the truth.

When the fire appeared last night, Xu Yi clearly felt a trace of magical fluctuations. It could be seen that the person who set the fire last night was a hidden magician.

To send a magician for this small matter, it could be seen that this was very important to the other side and they had made the resolution to succeed.

If it wasn’t for Xu Yi coming along and promptly using Water Attributed Magic to put out the fire, neutralizing the magic destructive might inside the flames, even if the things in the storage room wasn’t destroyed, it would have been damaged still.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi walked to another room in the distance.

This room used to be a guest room, but because the storage room was burned down, Xu Yi had Housekeeper Lahm put the things in here.

Opening the door, he saw six strange looking machines inside. Outside was stained from being burned by the flames and it looked very fierce, really not looking good at all.

The six machines were specially brought here by Xu Yi. They were six agricultural magic machines which included the small Magic Harvester, the small Magic Plowing Machine, and the small Magic Excavator.

Being summoned by the king this time, Xu Yi planned on demonstrating the powerful uses of these machines to the king.

The nobles in Banta City had already been conquered by these machines and had sent their orders to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so he believed the king wouldn’t be different.
