Volume 5 Chapter 155 Airspace
The border between the Stantine Duchy and the Lampuri Kingdom was eight hundred kilometers away from Anvilmar City. With the speed of the Magic Airship, he could arrive in eight hours.
Xu Yi was planning to set out in the morning and reach Anvilmar City in the afternoon. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have dinner with Seveni and he would be able to discuss the matter of the war with the Sack Kingdom with her.
But other than setting out smoothly the next day, when noon came, when the Magic Airship flew over Cramer City that was two hundred kilometers away from Anvilmar City, there was an incident.
“Sir chairman, it seems…..like several people are flying over.” The Magic Airship’s pilot reported to Xu Yi with a shocked look on their face.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been in development for close to two years now and they had flown to many places, but this was the first time it had met someone in the air.
Xu Yi looked out the window and saw several black spots quickly approaching.
It was clear that these people flying in the sky were magicians.
But why would magicians of the Lampuri Kingdom suddenly block the Magic Airship?
With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s fame in the Lampuri Kingdom, it was impossible that they didn’t recognize the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Airship.
Xu Yi knitted his brows to think before having the pilot stop. He opened the door and flew over to them.
“Chairman Xu, long time no see.”
The one leading them was a magician that Xu Yi recognized. It was the Lampuri Kingdom Magicians Guild’s vice president, Larkstein who was a Ninth Grade Magician.
When Xu Yi went to the certification exam and then met up with chairman Eren, he had also met him several times.
Even without the status of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman, Xu Yi was an outstanding magician. He had even become a powerful Great Magician in his thirties, so he was famous among the Lampuri Kingdom Magicians.
Larkstein was the noble Magicians Guild vice president, so when seeing Xu Yi, he followed the customs of magicians and bowed to greet Xu Yi who was a Great Magician.
Xu Yi returned the bow before looking over the magicians. He found that these magicians were wearing the robes of High Grade Magicians, so they clearly weren’t weak.
Although adding them together wasn’t enough to threaten a Great Magician like Xu Yi, sending all these powerful High Grade Magicians at once was rare.
“Vice president Larkstein, this is……”
Seeing the curious look on Xu Yi’s face, Larkstein quickly said with a smile, “Chairman Xu, we came to blo…..Ke, to greet you.”
“Greet?” Xu Yi knitted his brows and he felt a bit unsettled.
First the Lampuri Kingdom strangely declared war on the Sack Kingdom and then sent this group of High Grade Magicians led by Larkstein to wel…..No, it was clear that they were here to intercept him.
This strange situation created a guess in Xu Yi’s mind and he couldn’t help feeling worried.
Could it be that something really happened to Seveni and she had lost control of the Lampuri Kingdom? It was even so serious that people were here to stop him?
“What happened that you need to come and welcome me?” Xu Yi asked in a deep voice.
“This……” Larkstein had an awkward look before giving a cough and flying closer to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi knitted his brows and wanted to move away, but after thinking about it, he stayed in place. He allowed Larkstein to come to his side while also gathering his magic, preparing to release it at any moment.
“Chairman Xu, the kingdom parliament just passed the «Lampuri Kingdom Airspace Control Law» last week, preventing any magicians or flying objects from other countries from flying in the airspace of the Lampuri Kingdom. You….and your Magic Airship are in violation of this, so…..Ke, we wanted to stop you at the border, but you were just too fast, so we could only come and stop you here.”
“«Lampuri Kingdom Airspace Control Law»?” Xu Yi looked at Larkstein in surprise.
When did the Lampuri Kingdom’s parliament have the foresight to begin protecting their own airspace!
It had to be known, the word airspace had only been mentioned in secret between Xu Yi and Seveni. Because the Magic Airships hadn’t entered mass production yet, Seveni didn’t care about this. Xu Yi never thought that the Lampuri Kingdom’s parliament would actually pass a law controlling this.
But this law wasn’t passed before, it had to appear during this sensitive time which created more doubt in Xu Yi’s heart.
