Volume 5 Chapter 150 Elder Undine with a head for business

Xu Yi was planning to simply resupply in Nissi Harbour before heading off to the Azshara Tribe.

However, this plan was interrupted when the Magic Airship was about to take off.

Seeing Nissi City’s City Lord Count Kompany running over with a face covered in sweat, climbing up the side of the Magic Ship in difficulty with an anxious look, Xu Yi was confused as he ordered the pilot to stop the Magic Airship from taking off and walked out of the cabin.

“Xu…..Chairman Xu…..It’s a good…..It’s a good thing I caught you……” City Lord Kompany was panting as he stood in front of Xu Yi. His fat body was covered in sweat and looked quite bad.

Xu Yi turned to take a towel from Narvil and handed it over before asking, “Lord City Lord, is there something urgent?”

Count Kompany took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but because he breathed in too quickly, he actually choked on it. His face turned red and he almost couldn’t breathe.

Xu Yi found it funny as he patted his back, “Lord City Lord, don’t be in such a rush. Talk slowly, aren’t I here right now?”

Count Kompany gave several coughs before finally recovering. He took Xu Yi’s hand and was panting as he said, “Xu…..Chairman Xu, you’re…..finally back. His……His Majesty already gave the order that I had to keep you here as long as I met you. His….majesty is summoning you.”

“His majesty Teruc? He wants to see me?” Xu Yi was a bit surprised while also feeling that this was a bit too coincidental.

He had just thought of King Teruc and he never thought that King Teruc would come looking for him.

“I…..I’m not too clear on this, but his majesty did give this order.” Count Kompany replied, “Actually, his majesty summoned you last week, but I was told that you weren’t back because you were overseas. He knew that you would pass by here when you came back, so he had me watch out and stop you if I could.”

“Is it really that urgent?”

Xu Yi slightly knitted his brows. After thinking for a bit, he didn’t know why King Teruc would be this urgent in summoning him.

“This…..Should I go to Caraca City for an audience with his majesty?” Xu Yi asked.

“No, his majesty said that if I could stop you, I should contact him immediately and he would personally come here to meet you.” Count Kompany shook his head as he replied.

“His majesty is coming here?” Xu Yi was surprised.

Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had some influence in the surrounding countries, he as the chairman was important to the high level members of these countries.

He was still only a merchant in the end, one of the people with the lowest status on the Sines Continent.

Compared to Teruc who was the king of the Rudson Kingdom, there was a difference in status between them.

In a normal situation, it should be Xu Yi going to have an audience with King Teruc and not King Teruc coming here to see him.

Count Kompany was clearly also confused by King Teruc’s decision, but he didn’t say anything as he just nodded.

Xu Yi thought about it and was still a bit confused.

But he could smell something strange from King Teruc’s sudden action.

Could it be that what he was thinking of came true? Did King Teruc have some plan for the Magic Airships?

Three hours later, Xu Yi appeared in the Azshara Tribe that was three hundred kilometers away from Nissi City.

According to Count Kompany’s response, he had already sent news to King Teruc as soon as he saw Xu Yi.

Nissi City was five hundred kilometers away from Caraca City, so it would take half a day for the news to arrive. However, even if King Teruc set out from Caraca City immediately, it would take him half a day to arrive.

So in the quickest situation, King Teruc would only arrive the day after tomorrow.

During these two days, Xu Yi naturally couldn’t remain idle. After telling Count Kompany, he still followed his previous plan to head to the Azshara Tribe to meet elder Undine and Still.

It was different from the previous Azshara Tribe because previously the Azshara Tribe’s Magic Array made this place look like a desolate wasteland. Although the Magic Array was still present, not far away from the Magic Array was an elven style town that had been finished.

The various tree houses and glowing stone buildings filled the town and adding in the beautiful flora that lined the path, the town was filled with colours. It looked harmonious while being filled with life, letting people feel a kind of absolute enjoyment of life once they took a look.

This was something that Xu Yi could see from the faces of the many human tourists that were inside and outside the town.

That’s right, this small elf town called “Evelyn Town” was the small town that the Azshara Tribe opened up to human tourists. They welcomed humans to come visit and even allowed them to stay.

This was considered a very big step for the elves who had always been conservative and viewed humans with hostility.
