Volume 4 Chapter 125 - How big is your heart (1/2)

It was another summer.

The burning heat was the same as last year, sweeping across the Stantine Duchy.

Xu Yi’s territory was in the north of the Stantine Duchy, but it couldn’t escape the heat and it was bathed in the unmatched might of the summer.

The people of the Stantine Duchy were naturally adapted to this climate and the people of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been here for several years, so they had also adapted to this climate.

However, for the people that came from other parts of the continent, they were very uncomfortable with this early summer heat that was as hot as the heat that they normally experienced during the middle of summer. Every person’s body turned soft in the heat and their movements were like they were out of shape.

“Peng!”

The thirty kilogram steel cylinder fell to the ground, creating a large sound and a large plume of dust.

Hart shook his head before waving his hand, “Next!”

The person standing in the center had a depressed look. He was very unwilling, but he didn’t say a thing as he moved away from the center in a depressed manner.

Seeing another large man who was lined up behind him come out, Heinz sitting beside Hart couldn’t help knitting his brows, “Testing with this standard, there aren’t that many who can pass, right?”

Hart looked at the form in his hand and agreed.

“Up to now, there were only eighty three people who passed.”

“This is too little.” Heinz couldn’t help saying, “With this rate, if we want to recruit a thousand people, who knows how long it will take.”

Hart gave a shrug, “Sir chairman said that too little is better than too much. We have to conduct the tests based on his standards and they fail if they can’t match them, there is nothing else to say.”

Heinz slowly shook his head, “He is just recruiting a thousand personal guards, although having strict requirements isn’t wrong, it’s strange how it’s this strict. It’s fine if he wants them to be strong, but why does he need their minds to be flexible? It’s not like he’s recruiting workers.”

“Sir chairman wants his private guards to be able to easily use the military magic machines, so this request is already standard for our company guards.” Hart said, “After all, it’s sir chairman’s private guards, how could they not know how to use military magic machines?”

Heinz thought about it and was still a bit confused, “I don’t understand, if he really needs this, why doesn’t he just take some guards from the company to act as his private guards instead? Anyway, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is his, so if he does what he wants, would anyone be able to say anything?”

Hart laughed, “Sir vice chairman, aren’t you complaining right now? Of course, sir chairman said that this was to create a clear distinction between the company guards and his private guards to avoid trouble in the future.”

“What trouble could there be?” Heinz was even more confused. He looked at the person who had just taken the test and thought that Xu Yi was thinking too much.

Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was already quite big, becoming a first class company in the Lampuri Kingdom, if it was said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was Xu Yi’s company alone, no one would have any objections.

Since it was like this, why was he doing all this and had to recruit guards again?

These guards were clearly weaker than the guards that had been in the company for many years, they couldn’t compare at all. If he wanted personal guards, the company guards were clearly more suitable.

Moreover, Xu Yi didn’t just stop with the human guards. When he passed on the news, he said that he would be recruiting many guards for his personal territory, which not only included a thousand human guards, but also a thousand elven guards and a thousand dwarf guards.

Moreover, in the private information he disclosed, it was very likely he would recruit a thousand beastmen guards from the Black Rice Wasteland.

If he formed a guard unit from this, it would be a mixed race army.

The other races didn’t have a good relationship with the humans, they couldn’t see eye to eye. If they were put together, there might be problems with this guard unit.

Heinz continued watching the recruitment for Xu Yi’s guards for a bit, but he finally couldn’t take it anymore as he went to find Xu Yi with a heavy look.

Xu Yi was currently at the magic machine development center, gathered around a strange thing and was in deep discussion with Camby and the other engineers. Only when Heinz forcefully patted his shoulder did he notice that Heinz was here.

When Heinz asked him about his recruitment of guards, he only reacted after being surprised for a bit.

Based on this, it seemed like he didn’t care about this matter at all.

“This…..Heinz, I feel that you don’t need to worry. The treatment of becoming my personal guard is this good, even if they don’t like each other, they wouldn’t cause any troubles.”

“But……”

Heinz wanted to say more, but Xu Yi took him by the shoulder and pointed at the strange thing that everyone was gathered around, “Alright, stop worrying about those small things, come take a look at this. This is the thing that I really care about and the thing that you as the vice chairman should care about the most.”

Heinz couldn’t help rolling his eyes. He knew that when Xu Yi acted like this, no matter how he asked, Xu Yi wouldn’t answer him,

But he had known Xu Yi for all these years, so he knew that Xu Yi definitely wouldn’t do anything meaningless.
