Chapter 128: A Small Town Even More Ruined Than Bangta City

Although in the information obtained by Xu Yi, the old lord of Batru City, Earl Longli, Earl of Batru City, and Earl Will, the city lord of Lemart City, expressed clear support for Prince Eric's succession to the throne, unlike Lemart City who simply kept the convoy of the New Air Chamber of Commerce out of the city, the New Air Chamber of Commerce's convoy had not encountered any obstacles along the way within the scope of Batru City.

Xu Yi was originally worried about whether he would rush out of the city if he was rejected again to avoid sleeping in the wild. Now, when he saw Batru City, he did not show any special response, but he was relieved.

Perhaps as he guessed, the Earl of Lonely, who took over the title of Earl and the position of City Lord, was somewhat different from his father, Earl of Lonely, in terms of political stance.

As dusk approached, the convoy finally drove into Batru City.

Looking at the low and dilapidated city wall in front of him, and the rusty gate that was shaking and making an unpleasant creaking sound when blown by the wind, Xu Yi almost couldn't believe his eyes.

He has traveled to this world for more than six years and has also seen many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari. He thought that Bonta City was the most backward little old city, but the Batru City in front of him completely refreshed the lower limit in his heart.

Such a place that looks much dilapidated than the city of Bangta that Xu Yi saw for the first time three years ago, and is so small that it can hardly be called a city. Instead, it should be considered a castle, that is, Batru City?

Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the surrounding scenery along the way fully demonstrated the poverty of the city, he saw with his own eyes the main city, which represented the image of the entire city, still surprised him a little.

In the past six months, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has begun to implement an expansion strategy, Xu Yi has personally visited many cities in the Kingdom of Lampari, including poor cities, but no matter how poor those cities are, at least the main city will still be built quite well.

No matter what, the poor are just ordinary civilians, which have nothing to do with nobles like the city lord, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt a little respect for the deceased Earl Longli.

From this perspective, he does not seem to be the kind of guy who seeks fame. Instead, he should be truly considering the civilians under his rule.

Of course, it is really worth discussing that his choice to support Prince Eric's approach.

The New Air Chamber of Commerce and the magic industry promoted are currently mainly concentrated in the southern region of the Lampari Kingdom. The Northeast Province is currently only dotted with a few chambers of commerce that are involved in the production of household magic machinery. As for magic motorcycles, which can also be regarded as the highest-end magic technology within the New Air Chamber of Commerce, it is extremely rare in the entire Northeast Province, and in small towns like Batru, it has naturally never appeared.

So the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a convoy of more than 20 magic motorcycles, had just approached the city gate and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the cargo magic motorcycle lined in the front slowly stopping in front of him, the city gate guard was stunned, raised his head and stared blankly at the magic motorcycle in front of him, which was as tall as two monsters. He couldn't speak for a long time.

It was not until Ankato jumped out of the car and walked to him. The guard reacted, swallowed with difficulty, coughed hard, and shouted seriously: "Hey, where did you come from? What are you doing in our city of Batru?"

Ankato smiled and handed over the caravan pass.

The guard officer glanced at him and widened his eyes in surprise.

"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" After taking a look at the magic motorcycles behind, the guard officer suddenly realized. "That's right, except for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which chamber of Commerce has so many magic motorcycles."

Ankato was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the gate guards in a poor and backward small town like Batru City also knew about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Immediately, a sense of pride surged in my heart. Even such people knew the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which shows how famous the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in the kingdom.

"Yes, we are the New Air Chamber of Commerce from Bonta City, and we are preparing to deliver goods to Thevier City. We pass by here and want to stay here for one night tonight." Ankato explained.

"Oh..." The guardian looked at the pass in his hand, then looked at the convoy behind Ankato and Ankato, frowned: "It's okay to let you enter the city, but you have so many magic motorcycles... I'm afraid that I can't arrange it after entering the city."

"Hmm?" Ankato was stunned to observe the situation in the city through the city gate and found that the road connecting the city gate was small and crowded. The widest place was only less than four meters wide, and the narrowest place was even less than three meters.

Although it can barely accommodate a magic motorcycle passing through, on such a narrow road, the magic motorcycle may not even be able to turn when driving in.

Moreover, this road is also a road connecting the city gate, and it should be the most spacious road in the city. Even this road is so narrow, you can imagine what other roads in the city should look like.

"This..." Seeing this situation, Ankato was also a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he had to come to the middle of the convoy to ask Xu Yi for instructions.

Xu Yi was also wondering why Ankato had been negotiating with the city gate guard for so long. After hearing Ankato explain the situation, he was also a little stunned.

Although I had seen this Batrul city short and small for a long time, I didn't expect that the situation in the city would be so embarrassing.

"President, I think we'll just set up camp outside the city." Camby suggested. "Anyway, we're already on the edge of the city, so there won't be any problem, right?"

Xu Yi thought about it and nodded: "Okay. Ankato, go and notify the other people in the convoy, and said that they were camping outside the city tonight, but those who felt they were not used to it could choose to go to the city to find a hotel to rest, and the Chamber of Commerce would reimburse it."

Ankato left in response. Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then got out of the car and walked to the city gate, and found the guardian to discuss.

The guards were hesitant when they heard that the convoy wanted to set up camp outside the city gate.

"I'm afraid this won't work... If you stop outside the city, it will hinder other people..."

After knowing that Xu Yi was the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the guardian's tone of speaking became weaker. If someone else had made such a request, he would have been bombarded away long ago.

"We will choose a place that does not hinder others, just give us a clearing space." Xu Yi explained patiently. "And I just stayed for one night and left tomorrow dawn. I don't think it's hindering."

Seeing that the guard was still hesitating, Xu Yi looked around and pulled the guard, turned his back to his side, turned his back to others, took out a purse from his arms and handed it over.

"This money is just regarded as the money we paid for incoming the city, but it is not in the city. What do you think?"

The guard looked at the purse in Xu Yi's hand and could see that the gold coins contained in the purse were definitely far more than the money they should have paid for. He couldn't help swallowing and spitting. He looked around and snatched the purse from Xu Yi's hand, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Okay, since you are in trouble, I can't be too difficult for you. Go and find a space next to you to settle it. Remember, you can't hinder others."

Xu Yi responded with a smile, and just turned around and left, but suddenly found that the expression on the guard's face changed drastically. After getting the purse, he smiled and instantly became as if he had seen a ghost, and became extremely frightened.

"What's going on?" Xu Yi looked back in confusion, looking at the direction where the guard officer stared at wide eyes, and saw a carriage running from the distance of the road, bringing smoke and dust all the way.

"Wait!" Just as Xu Yi was wondering why the guardian was like a ghost when he saw this carriage, the guardian suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yi's arm, stuffed the untied purse directly into Xu Yi's arms, and shouted in a low voice: "Remember, I didn't say anything just now."

Xu Yi looked at the guard in shock, but saw that the expression on his face changed rapidly again, but he had a flattering smile on his face, and he smiled and met the carriage with other city guards at the city gate.

It is obvious that the carriage is probably a familiar figure among these city guards.

However, Xu Yi's eyes swept over the carriage and found that the carriage was very ordinary no matter how you look at it, and there was no slightest sense of nobleness. Xu Yi couldn't figure out who was sitting in the carriage, and the guards would have such drastic changes.

After a while, the carriage quickly passed through the mud and gravel road with smoke and dust, but ignored the city gate guards and a kind of city guard who came up, passed through them without any slowdown, and then stopped in front of Xu Yi with a creaking sound.

Xu Yi frowned slightly, raised his right hand, and the magic power flowed in his body, using a flowing wind technique to dispel a large amount of smoke and dust brought by the carriage.

The smoke and dust faded away, and a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old jumped out of the carriage, grabbed Xu Yi's hands, and said excitedly: "President Xu, I finally caught up with you!"

Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in shock and found that his face was exhausted. The clothes that looked pretty good on his body also looked wrinkled, but he was extremely excited and his eyes were filled with joy.

“You are…”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The middle-aged man looked calm and pointed at Batru City behind Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the current city lord of Batru City, Earl of Rivel Longley. When I met for the first time, I would like to ask President Xu to take care of him in the future."

Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who could not see the aristocratic atmosphere at all. From the attitude of the guards and the city guards who followed him in surprise, he judged that the middle-aged man should not have lie. He was indeed the lord of Batru City Earl Xiaolongli.

But what puzzled Xu Yi was that Batru City should have clearly supported His Highness Eric, why did he be so polite to him, the president of the New Air Chamber of Commerce? He even seemed so excited after seeing Xu Yi?

Could it be that... Xu Yi's previous idea has become a reality? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
