Volume 5 Chapter 156 Foot on both side

Cramer City was two hundred kilometers away from Anvilmar City, so if they took Magic Sedans, it would take at least four hours to arrive.

As the sun was setting on the horizon, Xu Yi saw the city gates of Anvilmar City.

“Chairman Xu, I will bring you now to the gates of the royal palace, but the matters after this aren’t related to us.” Larkstein looked at the city gate before saying this to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi nodded and didn’t react.

The matter this time was strange from beginning to end.

For example, although Larkstein’s group said that they were stopping the Magic Airship because of the «Lampuri Kingdom Airspace Control Law», then him saying that he was there to stop Xu Yi and even bringing him from Cramer City to Anvilmar City, it was like they were afraid that he would run away.

However, that reaction made Xu Yi even more confused.

If something really had happened and the people of the Lampuri Kingdom wanted to harm him, they wouldn’t have sent just Larkstein and several High Grade Magicians.

It was well known in the surrounding countries that Xu Yi was a Great Magician, so to really deal with Xu Yi, it was far from being enough just depending on Larkstein’s group.

But if it wasn’t for dealing with Xu Yi, then sending these High Grade Magicians, was it just to bring Xu Yi…..or rather send Xu Yi to the Lampuri Kingdom royal palace?

This seemed a bit too wasteful.

Xu Yi had asked Larkstein veiled questions several times, but Larkstein’s answer was that this was the order of her majesty and he was just following this order.

Xu Yi was unable to obtain more information, so he couldn’t make a judgement and could only observe the changes.

Akali was worried about Xu Yi’s safety before leaving, but Xu Yi wasn’t worried.

First, he was already a powerful Great Magician. Because of elder Illusia, elder Lisanya, and Arch Magus Camilla urging him to not relax in increasing the power of his magic, at the end of last year, he had made a breakthrough to become a Second Grade Great Magician.

With his strength, only if the remaining three Great Magicians of the Lampuri Kingdom worked together, it was impossible for anyone else to pose any threat to him.

If it really didn’t work out, he could still run away.

Next he was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman. With his influence in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the many cooperations between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom, no matter who was controlling the Lampuri Kingdom, they would treat him well and wouldn’t easily anger him.

Especially during a sensitive time like during a war between the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom. If they did offend Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, pushing them to support the Sack Kingdom, that wouldn’t benefit the Lampuri Kingdom at all.

Xu Yi was only obediently coming into Anvilmar City with Larkstein just to confirm Seveni’s current condition.

If he was a bit worried before, then now that he thought it through that there wouldn’t be any problems for Seveni and if there weren’t any big problems, he could feel assured.

Seeing that he would enter Anvilmar City soon, Xu Yi began to feel a bit of anticipation.

Although it had only been two months since he last saw Seveni, because of the strange things that had been happening in the Lampuri Kingdom during this time, he was a bit worried about Seveni and missed her more.

When he thought of this, he would feel a bit of regret.

If he had met with Seveni earlier and decided to promote the magic signal towers in the Lampuri Kingdom, he might have connected the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base to Anvilmar City already. He wouldn’t have needed to come all the way to Anvilmar City to check up on Seveni.

Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was currently working hard on putting down magic signal towers with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, because this was their first time covering such a large area, it would take until the end of next year according to their plan. It was still a long time before they could talk to each other.

“Chairman Xu, if you have time after meeting her majesty, president Eren also wants to see you.”

When the Magic Sedan arrived at the east gate of the royal palace and Xu Yi came out, Larkstein suddenly lowered his voice to say this to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi considered this before giving a slight nod to show he understood.

Only then did Larkstein reveal a smile and sit back in the Magic Sedan, leaving with his subordinates.

As soon as Larkstein left, there were two maids that came out of the gates of the royal palace. They came in front of Xu Yi and gave him a bow.

“Chairman Xu, her majesty is waiting for you.”

Xu Yi looked over the two maids and then he remembered Betty and Carol at his personal manor in the Stantine Duchy.

The two of them had been Seveni’s maids before, but Seveni gave them to Xu Yi. It seemed like Seveni had gotten two more maids for herself.

“Alright, bring me to see her majesty.”

The two maids gave Xu Yi another bow before sizing up Xu Yi with a look and then turning to lead Xu Yi in.

Since Seveni took the throne, although Xu Yi didn’t come to the Lampuri Kingdom many times, he was still someone who could freely move in the royal palace. This was a treatment that many of the important ministers weren’t even able to enjoy.
