Volume 3 Chapter 128 - Small city that was even worse than Banta City (1/2)

Although in Xu Yi’s information, Basaru City’s old City Lord Count Longley and Lamarte City’s City Lord Count Will both openly supported his highness Eric, it was different from Lamarte City where they had been kept out. When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s motorcade came to Basaru City, they weren’t actually blocked off.

Xu Yi was worried that they would be rejected outside the city and would have to rush through the night to avoid camping out again, but he felt relieved when he saw that Basaru City didn’t react specially when dealing with them.

Perhaps it was like his guess, the young Count Longley who took the title and the position of City Lord would have a different political stance as his father, the old Count Longley.

When it was close to evening, the motorcade finally entered Basaru City.

Seeing the low and worn out city walls, as well as the rust covered city gates clunked in the wind, Xu Yi couldn’t believe his own eyes.

He had been in this world for over six years now and had experienced many cities of the Lampuri Kingdom. He had thought that Banta City was the smallest and most remote city, but this Basaru City in front of him brought this to a new level.

This city seemed even worse than Banta City three years ago when Xu Yi first saw it. This place that was so small that it couldn’t be considered a city, only a fortress was actually Basaru City?

Xu Yi couldn’t help shaking his head.

Although he had seen how poor Basaru City was from the scenes around Basaru City, when he actually entered the main city and saw it was like this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised.

In the last half a year, because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had started implementing their expansion strategy, Xu Yi had personally inspected many cities of the Lampuri Kingdom. There were poor cities among them, but no matter how poor those cities were, the main part of the city was still properly constructed.

No matter what, the poor ones should be the normal cities, it isn’t related to a noble like the Lord City Lord, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a bit of respect for the old Count Longley who had passed.

Based on this, he wasn’t a fellow that cared about riches, rather he was someone who sincerely thought about the citizens under his govern.

Of course, his choice of supporting his highness Eric was still worth discussing.

The magic machine industry created by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was gathered in the southern part of the Lampuri Kingdom, there were few companies that produced household magic machines in the northeast province. As for something that could be considered the most advanced magic machine, Magic Cars were rare in the northeast province and were basically never seen in a small town like Basaru City.

So when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s motorcade of over twenty Magic Cars came through the city gates, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Seeing the rows of Magic Cars slowly come to a stop, the officer in charge of the city gates was stunned. He looked up at the magic car that was like a monster that was twice his height and couldn’t speak for a while.

When Ankhto came out of the car and came up to him, did the officer react. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and gave a strong cough before putting on an official stance, saying with a serious look ,”Hey, which caravan are you? What did you come to our Basaru City for?”

Ankhto handed over the caravan pass with a faint smile.

The officer looked over it and his eyes opened wide in surprise.

“Frestech Chamber of Commerce?” Seeing the Magic Cars lined up, the officer understood, “That’s right, other than your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, which other company has this many Magic Cars?”

Ankhto was a bit surprised. He never thought that the city guard officer of a small town like Basaru City would actually know about their Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

There was a bit of pride in his heart. Even people like this knew about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it could be seen that they had quite the fame in the kingdom.

“Right, we are the Frestech Chamber of Commerce from Banta City. We’re transporting goods to Sowell City and passed by here, so we wanted to stay the night.” Ankhto explained.

“Oh……” The officer looked at the caravan pass and looked at the motorcade behind Ankhto before knitting his brows, “It’s no problem letting you in the city, but with so many Magic Cars…..I’m afraid that we can’t arrange them once they are in.”

“Un?” Ankhto was surprised once he looked into the city and found that the path connected to the gate was small and narrow. It was less than four meters at its widest and the most narrow place wasn’t even three meters.

Although they could get the Magic Car in, the Magic Car wouldn’t be able to turn non such a narrow street.

Moreover, this path was connected to the city gate, so it should be the widest path. If even this street was this narrow, it could be imagined just what the other streets were like.

“This…..” Seeing this situation, it was a bit difficult for Ankhto. After thinking about it, he went into the Magic Cars to ask Xu Yi for instructions.
