Volume 5 Chapter 81 - Build a road in your name (1/2)

Xu Yi was a bit disappointed.

When he learned from ambassador Hakanin that the royal army would send someone to the Stantine Duchy to investigate the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi had been very excited. He thought that his previous efforts had succeeded and the Candra Empire would start noticing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, this sir Russell that came with ambassador Hakanin was the vice chief of staff of the royal fleet. Whether it was his status, his position, or his role in the government, they all fit Xu Yi’s calculations from before. It made Xu Yi think that this person was sent to represent the will of the Candra Empire.

It wasn’t too high, but they didn’t look down on them.

Xu Yi thought that by meeting Russell, he could have the Candra Empire place more attention on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. He would be able to open the window for cooperation between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Candra Empire, allowing them to enter the Candra Empire’s giant market.

However, after a short meeting with Russell, XuYi thought that his thinking was too simple.

Although this sir Russell was a high level member of the Candra Empire’s royal navy, his trip this time wasn’t an official trip for the Candra Empire, he couldn’t even represent the Candra Empire’s royal army. Rather he had come completely as an individual.

According to Russell’s ideas, his trip to the Stantine Duchy this time was purely to see the Frestech Chamber of Commece’s guard fleet, he didn’t have any other goals.

Xu Yi was naturally very disappointed by this, but thinking about it, it was a very normal thing.

The Candra Empire was one of the two empires on the continent. Even small kingdoms like the Lampuri Kingdom and the Rudson Kingdom weren’t worth anything in their eyes, not to mention a small company from the Stantine Duchy.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce being able to arouse the curiosity of Russell was completely because of the strange parts of the meeting between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet and the Candra Empire’s third fleet.

If he wasn’t curious about this, Russell wouldn’t have even thought about coming. This matter would have been suppressed by the military headquarters and would have been treated as it never happened.

Xu Yi was clear that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had great influence in the surrounding countries, but the Candra Empire didn’t put them in their eyes, so they wouldn’t be swayed by Russell’s opinion.

But this matter did show a problem.

The Candra Empire didn’t care about this matter, so it could be seen that they had lost their vigilance.

Otherwise, the special performance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet had shown under Xu Yi’s instructions would have been ignored by the Candra Empire’s royal army.

The facts showed that if Russell hadn’t been curious about this matter, what the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet did would be like winking at a blind person.

Through these problems, the disappointment in Xu Yi’s heart was reduced. He followed his previous plan and entertained Russell’s party warmly.

Russell was interested in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet, so Xu Yi gave him an open demonstration of the guard fleet.

When Russell and his two subordinates saw the giant Magic Ship that was cast of iron, the shock on their face definitely was not something that could be pretended.

However, no matter how shocked they were by this scene, when they left the Stantine Duchy three days later after their inspection, Russell had been silent the entire time and didn’t give any reactions.

But Xu Yi was certain that he had some idea in his heart after these few days.

Compared to Russell and his two assistants leaving quickly, not leaving anything and not taking anything, ambassador Hakanin received the same benefits that satisfied him on his trip this time.

According to his private agreement with Xu Yi, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce sold him various household magic machines at 90% of the market price, for a total of three hundred thousand gold coins.

With Xu Yi’s understanding, these household magic machines were selling for twice the price in Wimbledon City and there wasn’t a lack of demand.

Even if ambassador Hakanin took care of the transport costs bringing them back to Wimbledon City, if he could sell out all of these household magic machines, he would receive a large income of one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.

Since he met Xu Yi at the beginning of last year, in just a single year, ambassador Hakanin had earned over four hundred thousand gold coins from cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
