Two days later, the New Air Chamber of Commerce convoy left Batruck City, which had been staying for three days, and embarked on the road to Thurwell City.

The medium-sized magic bus kept shaking on the dirt and gravel road outside Batru City, causing Xu Yi and other researchers from the Magic Machine Tool R&D centers in the car to shake slightly.

Leading by the dwarf Camby, the researchers were gathered together to hurry up and discuss the work that was about to begin after arriving in Thurwell City, which made the atmosphere in the car extremely lively.

However, Xu Yi seemed extremely silent. He turned his head and looked at the scenery that was constantly retreating outside the window, frowned slightly, and was in deep thought.

His eyes flew past the dilapidated houses that kept flashing across the road, and the expression on Xu Yi's face became more and more serious.

He was facing an important choice at this moment, but he was unable to make up his mind because of his many concerns.

Camby, who was standing aside, stopped discussing for a while, turned his head and saw the strange look on Xu Yi's face, and couldn't help asking: "President, what's wrong with you? Why did you always have this expression since you went out with Earl Longli the day before yesterday? Did Earl Longli do something that made you embarrassed?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.

"Although it's not wrong to say that it was Earl Longley that made me embarrassed, the truth is that I am making myself embarrassed."

"What does it mean?" Kambie looked puzzled.

Xu Yi stared at a small village composed of a group of low and dilapidated houses far away from the road for a while, and suddenly asked, "Cambi, if you decide to do something, you can help many people, but it may put yourself in a very dangerous situation. What would you choose?"

Camby frowned: "It depends on whether those people are worth helping. It depends on whether the dangers they face are very strong. What? What did the president, Earl of Longley, tell you? Could he want to invite you to invest in Batru City?"

Xu Yi stared at Cambi in surprise.

He had always thought that the dwarves like Cambi were slow to react in this kind of thing, but he did not expect that he would tell the truth so keenly.

"Well, Count Longli did make an invitation, and his attitude was very sincere. I must admit that I was moved by him." Xu Yi nodded.

Thinking of his contact with Count Longli in the past few days, Xu Yi felt a little strange in his heart.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi came into contact with a large number of nobles in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the qualities of them seemed to him to be good and bad.

Good nobles can coexist peacefully with the common people, and can even extend various help to the common people as much as possible, but bad nobles will satisfy their own ** with the privileges of the nobles.

Most nobles adhere to the tradition of aristocraticism and are basically in two different classes with the civilians, each with no connection, as if they are people from two worlds.

But no matter what, Xu Yi did not see any noble like Count Longli, who could truly live with ordinary civilians on the same level, and even worked wholeheartedly to improve the lives of the civilians under his rule.

Xu Yi was not sure whether Count Longli was acting, but from the previous evaluations of Count Longli, and the attitude of the civilians in Batru City to Count Longli when he was with Count Longli these days, it can be seen that Count Longli's attitude should be quite sincere.

After all, it is easy for him to make fraud by himself, but it is difficult for all the civilians in Batru to make fraud together.

Even if we put aside whether to act, Xu Yi had to seriously consider his proposal just by the superficial attitude reflected by Earl Longley and the meaning of this matter.

It is not very difficult for the New Air Chamber of Commerce to invest in Batru City.

Although Batru City is indeed extremely poor and there are actually no good resources in the entire city, based on the observations over the past few days, Xu Yi has been able to find several ways to develop Batru City, and after field investigations, he found it quite feasible.

The only thing Batru City lacks is funds, and this is exactly what the current New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce does not lack.

If the invitation from Count Longley was agreed to, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came to Batru City to make a big investment, which represents another far-reaching significance, which means that Batru City, a city whose public flag expressed support for Prince Eric, began to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the supporter of Prince Sevini.

No one thinks that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to transfer to Prince Eric, but it only makes people think that the Earl of Longley wants to betray His Highness.

The reason is that the power balance between the two sides is too great.

Although Earl Longli is the lord of a city and a dignified Count, Batru is the weakest and poorest city in the Northeast Province. Earl Longli, the city lord, does not have much power at all.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is different.

As the new chamber of commerce with the fastest development momentum in the Kingdom of Lampari, which is regarded as a promising new chamber of commerce by everyone, the power and potential that the New Air Chamber of commerce have now mastered are far from comparable to the city lords of a poor city.

The support of the two sides for Prince Eric and Prince Sevini is also very different.

But despite this, the symbolic significance of this matter is still extremely huge.

If Count Longley really chooses to invite the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to invest in Batru City and cooperate fully with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, then his Highness Eric will inevitably be regarded as betrayal.

And this is equivalent to giving many people a very bad start, which means that the party who supports Prince Eric is not a solid piece of the matter, and there is a split within itself.

If this matter became a fact, Xu Yi could fully imagine how angry Prince Eric was and how serious the consequences would be.

So when I heard Earl Longli clearly send this invitation to him, although Xu Yi had been mentally prepared, he was still very surprised.

"Earl Ronley, are you really sure you want to do this? Are you sure you know what the consequences will be?"

Xu Yi still remembers the bitterness and helplessness contained in the expression on his face when Earl Longli answered this question at the time, as well as the deep firmness.

"Of course I know. But compared to the lives and even survival of tens of thousands of people in Batru City, what is the name of betrayal? For this goal, our Longli family has worked hard for several generations. Now there is this opportunity in front of me. If I don't grasp it, how can I be worthy of the seniors of the family and the people of Batru City!"

"If you are sure that your father knows that underground, won't he think you have betrayed him?"

"The reason why my father chose to support Prince Eric was because His Highness declared that he would give priority to ensuring that all the civilians in the kingdom could have a full meal. However, in order to determine his military merits, he ignored the lives and death of the civilians, and instead added a huge unbearable burden to the city of Batru. If my father was still there, I would be the first to scold him."

Earl Longli's clear answer made Xu Yi understand why he made such a choice that would definitely shock everyone, but it also made Xu Yi fall into a dilemma.

These days, with Earl Longli, walking around inside and outside Batru City, naturally, it was not a trip, but under the leadership of Earl Longli, he conducted a detailed investigation of the environment inside and outside Batru City.

In the past few days, Xu Yi discovered that Batru City is worthy of being the poorest city in the Northeast Province. Not to mention that most ordinary farmers outside the city are like the Lao Har family, and they cannot even solve the most basic food and clothing problem. Even residents with slightly better family conditions in the city can only barely survive.

Not to mention that compared with Bangta City, which has developed rapidly, it is incomparable to any city that Xu Yi has visited.

Xu Yi certainly hopes to rely on the investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to drive the development of Batru City and improve the lives of these poor people.

But if you do this, not only will Count Longley face serious problems, but Xu Yi himself will also face difficulties.

His Highness Prince Eric would think that Count Longley was a betrayal, but would also think that the New Air Chamber of Commerce was doing this entirely to challenge them or even challenge them.

If you really want to do this, it will be very likely to break the fragile balance between Prince Eric and Prince Sevini and the current fragile highness of Prince Eviani, and make the two sides who were originally barely considered peaceful coexistence.

Xu Yi could not bear the heavy responsibility of splitting the Kingdom of Lampari, so he could not easily agree to Earl Longli, so he could only tell Earl Longli that he would consider it and leave him a glimmer of hope.

As for whether to agree to do this, Xu Yi must return to Bangta City to discuss with His Highness Prince Sevini.

This matter is no longer just a matter of a chamber of commerce in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Earl Longli naturally knew Xu Yi's concerns, and did not force Xu Yi to agree immediately. Instead, he welcomed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more enthusiastically, fully demonstrating his sincerity.

However, when he was leaving, Earl Longli's eyes made Xu Yi feel a little unbearable.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

It would be great if Lampari XIII had not given birth to so many children, or he might simply confirm that one of them would become the heir to the throne, so that everyone would not have to fight each other for the throne, thereby consuming the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom for nothing.

Now that the situation in the Kingdom of Lampari has become like this, he, as a king, should actually bear the primary responsibility.

However, for so long, His Majesty the King has been completely out of the matter, neither making any final decision nor showing an attitude towards which side.

It was like... he was deliberately trying to make things look like this.

What exactly does this king want to do? (To be continued...)
