Volume 2 Chapter 159 - City symbol (1/2)

Xu Yi thought about it, but he gave up explaining this to Hannas.

The Sines Continent’s social system was different from earth. On earth, the politicians needed to earn the support of the people, but for the Sines Continent, a great noble like Count Sean didn’t need to put on a show for the citizens at all.

It was like Hannas said, those citizens couldn’t influence Count Sean at all because it was impossible for them to choose the City Lord, decide Count Sean’s title, and they couldn’t influence the family behind Count Sean.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Hannas, after you saw this new city square, what do you think?” Xu Yi asked as he changed the topic.

“What do I think? This is just too shocking!” Hannas immediately gave an emotional sigh, holding nothing back, “Xu Yi, how could I have never discovered this before, you were actually such an expert in building a city? This city square is just too creative. I dare say that on the entire Sines Continent, there isn’t a single city with the same city square. Not mentioning the beautiful fountain in the middle, just the Magic Lights that can light up the entire square is shocking enough.”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, thinking that Hannas really was inexperienced.

Just a small city square was enough to shock him, then wouldn’t he faint from his shock if he were to see those huge metropolises on earth?

Of course, he was very clear on the fact that the Banta City square could be considered crude to him, but this was a very shocking new thing on the Sines Continent.

Hannas kept praising him for a bit before suddenly changing the topic.

“This new city square is indeed quite good, but was it worth you having me specially come from Anvilmar City?”

“Of course, you are the secret leader of Anvilmar City’s newspaper business. If I don’t find you, how can I show everyone in the kingdom the beautiful scene of Banta City’s city square?” Xu Yi said with a smile.

Hannas slightly knit his brows, “Actually…..I’m very curious. Xu Yi, why are you so passionate about this? You are just a normal company’s chairman and not Banta City’s City Lord. Putting in this much effort for this matter and even advertising it like this, why are you doing this?”

“It’s very simple, I did this to raise the fame of Banta City, to let everyone know that this small and remote city in everyone’s mind is a new and impressive city filled with life. If Banta City becomes famous, it would greatly help the companies in Banta City.” After saying this, Xu Yi pointed at the city square in the distance and said, “Do you see that unicorn in the center of the square? It is the name card of Banta City. When people introduce Banta City in the future, it will be the symbol of Banta City.”

Hannas looked at where Xu Yi was pointing and muttered, “That is a unicorn? I thought that it was a horse with a deformity……”

Xu Yi couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

He thought that since this world had dwarves, elves, beastmen, and once had halfling and dragons, it meant that the divine beast of the western fantasy world, the unicorn would also exist.

But when Count Sean asked about the design of the statue and Xu Yi proposed the unicorn, he was met with looks of bewilderment.

When he gave the rough outline of the unicorn, whether it was Count Sean, Agnes, or even the elf in the factory, they had never seen this kind of creature before.

Xu Yi could only helplessly accept the fact that there were no unicorns in this world, but Count Sean was very pleased by the image that he drew. After they had an artist draw it, they decided to have it as the statue that would represent Banta City.

This unicorn had a very profound meaning.

First the unicorn was in the shape of a horse and horses represented speed and endurance. Banty City was in a state of quick development and has kept it going all this time.

Next, there was only a single horn on the unicorn’s head. It meant that no matter what difficulties there were, Banta City would keep charging forward and break through everything.

Finally it was the pair of wings which meant that Banta City would soar in the sky.

When Xu Yi told Count Sean of all these meanings, Count Sean approved it even more.

Count Sean even planned to publish a book on Banta City’s history, which would not only describe the past, it would also describe the current Banta City. He was planning to show everyone the current Banta City through this book.

This was also a part of the “Banta City image construction plan” that Xu Yi proposed.

The other things like rebuilding the city square and calling Hannas over to use the newspaper to advertise Banta City all over the country was all a part of the plan.

In short, it was to build a star city in the Lampuri Kingdom, to let everyone in the Lampuri Kingdom know about Banta City.

“Then what is your real goal?” Hannas asked, “You say that this is helpful to all the companies in your Banta City, but I don’t see how it will help. If you are planning to increase the fame of your Frestech Chamber of Commerce and let it develop a bit faster, I can understand and there are many methods that can help you achieve this. But if you’re talking about creating a symbol for Banta City…..I still have the same thing to say, that is something for Count Sean to consider and not something for a normal merchant like you.”
