Volume 4 Chapter 71 - Two old elf women (1/2)
Volume 4 Perhaps Xu Yi would never realize Eric’s feelings.
Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been formed, he had a high prestige in the company and could be considered to be fully in power.
When he obtained the private territory from Lord Wein, officially becoming a lord of the Stantine Duchy, he had obtained the position equal to a king on this land. Of course it wasn’t an empty throne like the one Eric had.
Because the Stantine Duchy was special, Xu Yi could change this land however he wanted to change it. He didn’t need to worry that someone would suddenly cause trouble for him or even chase him off.
At least in the Stantine Duchy, there was no lord who would blindly provoke him.
All the lords, even including Duke Stantine were all trying to flatter Xu Y. They all wanted to create a good relationship with him and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
It was for nothing else, it was to purchase the military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Lord Wein and Count Fran’s battle had lasted four months and Lord Wein had won out in the end, taking all of Count Fran’s territory.
In the Stantine Duchy, the battle between Lord Wein and Count Fran who both weren’t considered weak wasn’t considered common. Since they were both lords of the Stantine Duchy, their land, territory, and military power were considered around equal. Even conflicts between them were solved by small matters, there would rarely be a time when one side was completely destroyed.
The other lords of the Stantine Duchy thought that Lord Wein and Count Fran’s battle would be the same. They never expected that after two months of normal fighting, since the start of the third month, Count Wein’s private soldiers would suddenly become stronger. Count Fran’s forces couldn’t fight back at all and in just less than two months, they were destroyed by Lord Wein and Count Fran was even killed.
This was a result that no one had expected.
After asking around, the lords of the Stantine Duchy had learned the reason why Duke Wein’s soldiers had suddenly become stronger. It was because Duke Wein had bought a large number of military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Lord Wein’s private guards weren’t famous in the Stantine Duchy for being strong, but with the various military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, their battle strength exploded. Count Fran’s soldiers were completely routed and destroyed, which was enough to prove the might of the military magic machines.
At the same time, in the south of the Stantine Duchy, Viscount Anklo’s troops who had the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines had swept through several lords already. He had seized a large territory of over three hundred thousand square kilometers, which was even bigger than Xu Yi’s territory.
Viscount Anklo’s soldiers were also equipped with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines, which made them this strong. It wasn’t hard to understand why Lord Wein’s soldiers had suddenly become stronger.
To increase the strength of their subordinates, the most direct and simple method was to equip them with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines.
So without waiting for Lord Wein to defeat Count Fran, countless lords of the Stantine Duchy sent people to connect with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They wanted to purchase the various military magic machines from them.
So it didn’t matter if Xu Yi was willing or not, he had become an arms dealer like he had expected.
But he didn’t sell his arms just to anyone. When he gave instructions to Kennard, he clearly stated that they couldn’t sell military magic machines to lords who were currently in conflict with Anklo or Lord Wein.
As for the transactions themselves, he wouldn’t care.
After sending off Leslie, he spent most of his time developing the Magic Boat. At the same time, he managed to find quite a bit of time to study magic with Great Magician Camilla.
According to Great Magician Camilla’s evaluation, his strength was already at the threshold of the Great Magician stage. As long as he worked hard and deepened his understanding of magic, he could break through at any time to become a Great Magician.
The difference between normal magicians and Great Magicians was too big. Even if Xu Yi didn’t care about magic, he had to place importance on this matter.
It was a good thing that the resources he had now wasn’t something most magicians on the Sines Continent could compare to. Not only did he have Great Magician Camilla who was a Fifth Grade Great Magician personally teaching him, he could even get regular consultations with Great Magician Telucci.
Other than that, whether it was the Night Song Tribe’s elder Illusia or the Moon Shadow Tribe’s elder Lisanya, they were both stronger than normal Great Magicians at the same rank. Moreover, the two of them were elves, so they had unique understandings of magic that surpassed humans, so it was without a doubt of great help to Xu Yi.
