Volume 4 Chapter 141 Highest end competition

The next morning, Xu Yi carried the unwilling Freya and together with Liz and Linda who came with her, as well as Agnes, to bid farewell to elder Illusia.

The four humans and one elf entered Xu Yi’s Magic Sedan parked outside the forest. They used two hours to drive to Banta City that they had left for a long time and entered the City Lord Manor.

After Seveni had been crowned, Banta City had a new City Lord again.

The current City Lord Will was a firm supporter of Seveni. He wasn’t even forty this year and was considered a young and upcoming count in the Lampuri Kingdom.

Seveni sent him as the new City Lord of Banta City, which showed how much importance Seveni placed on Banta City.

In the year that Count Will had been City Lord, he had worked hard to follow her majesty Seveni’s meaning, working hard to promote Banta City’s magic machine industry.

With the great support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, although the current Banta City wasn’t as prosperous as before because many companies, especially the Frestech Chamber of Commerce moved out their production bases, with their cooperation with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the city had restored much of its prosperity from before.

Entering Banta City, one would see advertisements for magic machines all over.

But if one looked attentively, they would find that almost all of these magic machines had the symbol of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Because most of the companies that produced magic machines in Banta City appeared through the joint capital of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, every time those companies sold a magic machine, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce profited.

Even if it was less than the profit they earned from the Frestech Brand alone, with these joint capital companies and the large developed market of the Lampuri Kingdom, in the past nine months of this year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned a giant profit of over five million gold coins from the Lampuri Kingdom.

But this time, Xu Yi didn’t come to Banta City for joint capital companies. Rather he came for something that most people thought was a small matter that didn’t need the chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce like him to come to.

Because of the instructions of Count Will ahead of time, Xu Yi’s Magic Sedan came to the City Lord Manor without hindrance and Xu Yi quickly met with Count Will.

Seeing Xu Yi, Count Will immediately revealed a warm smile.

“Chairman Xu, after a long two years, you’re finally back in Banta City. I represent all the citizens to give you the sincere welcome.”

Xu Yi laughed and shook hands with Count Will before saying, “Lord Count, you’re too serious. Banta City has always been my second hometown, how could I need a special welcome to come back.”

“Alright, I hope that chairman Xu can always remember that Banta City will be your second hometown. I also hope that chairman Xu can come back to this hometown more in the future.” Count Will said with a sincere smile, “Now that Banta City is at the most important part of its development, we can’t lack the support of chairman Xu.”

Xu Yi shook his head with a faint smile, “Based on the situation on the way here, Banta City is already in a very stable development situation. Even without me, I believe that Banta City will become one of the top cities of the Lampuri Kingdom.”

After these two exchanged pleasantries, they quickly entered the main topic.

Xu Yi’s trip back to Banta City this time was mainly to participate in the bi annual event of Banta City. Other than the fall and spring harvest, it was the bicycle race that was held after the harvest.

Although there had only been six bicycle races, each race had become bigger than the last. This year, just in the bicycle race in the spring of the first half of the year, there were over fifty thousand participants.

And as for the bicycle race of this year’s fall, other than participants from the surrounding cities, there were even many people who came from far away cities to participate.

Even other than the Lampuri Kingdom, there were quite a few people who came from the Drake Duchy, the Mirando Duchy, and the Rudson Kingdom to participate.

So this race in Banta City could be considered an international event. Not only did it have a great influence on the Lampuri Kingdom, it had great influence on the surrounding countries.

Different from the other races, starting from this race, they would begin accepting the registration of teams.

Because of this rule, there were many people who had registered as teams in this race.

Among the teams, other than a few teams that were alone, most of the teams were invested in by different companies or by a certain noble.

In these teams, there was only a single team that attracted everyone’s attention because this team was named the Frestech Race Team.

The one supporting the Frestech Race Team was naturally the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

The bicycles were developed by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce after all.

Even if some companies had received the technology from the Frestech Chamber of commerce, building their own bicycles, everyone believed that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was much better than the other companies when it came to bicycles.

So when most people purchased bicycles, they would choose the Frestech Brand.
