Xu Yi reached out to touch the door. Just as he was about to exert force, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and quickly retracted his hand.
In that split second, he had clearly felt a strange magical fluctuation coming from the door of the room.
This ordinary-looking door was actually covered with a magic array!
If Xu Yi continued to exert force, this magic array would definitely be triggered.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and once again reached out his hand.
His finger lightly touched the door of the room. Xu Yi probed a very weak trace of magic from his finger, and slowly probed the magic array on the door.
In order to develop a qualified magic machine, Xu Yi's research on magic arrays had now reached an extremely high level. Thus, he easily probed the magic array on the door. It should be a Grade 3 Wind Magic Array — Wind Blast Magic Array.
Once this magic array was triggered, there would be a strong gust of air rushing out from the magic array.
Although the power of a Grade 3 magic array was not great, and even if one was directly hit by the gust of air, the power of the Wind Blast Magic Array was enough to directly blow a person away. Even if the person did not die, he would definitely be injured.
After checking the door of the room, Xu Yi's finger moved from the door to the wall, and then used the trace of magic to probe down along the wall.
In the end, he discovered that other than the door, there was actually a Wind Blast Magic Array set up on the four walls and two windows of this room!
In other words, although this small room didn't seem to be anything special, it had actually become a small prison!
Xu Yi withdrew his probing hand and frowned slightly.
The person who had set up this trap did not seem to want to take his life, but only wanted to trap him here.
However, this was after all the palace. How long could the other party trap him here without being discovered?
Xu Yi's mind turned, and he immediately understood.
The other party should be here because His Majesty the King was about to summon him.
When Xu Yi left the office, it was already around four o 'clock in the afternoon. It took him nearly half an hour to travel from the office to the palace. In addition, he had been waiting here for a while. It was almost five o' clock when His Majesty summoned Xu Yi.
The person who set the trap did not intend to trap him to death, but only wanted to trap him for a period of time so that he could not meet His Majesty on time.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's heart sank.
With his current status, it was very rare for him to have the opportunity to meet the king. If he failed to arrive on time, it would undoubtedly leave a very bad impression on the king.
Even if Xu Yi could explain later, he might not have the chance to meet the king again. Even if he did, the king might not believe him.
In any case, if he missed this opportunity, it would be a very serious blow to Xu Yi's plan.
Time was of the essence. Although Xu Yi still had a lot of questions in his heart, he did not have the time to think about it. He looked at the door that was still tightly shut, snorted softly, and slapped it with his palm.
A surge of Mana that was many times stronger than the one he used to investigate just now came out from his palm. It instantly turned into countless streams that covered the entire door.
The Wind Blast Array that was set up on the door was completely covered by Xu Yi's Mana in the blink of an eye. However, there was no trace of it being triggered at all. Instead, under the effect of Xu Yi's Mana, it slowly dissipated.
After a while, a weak light green light flashed on the door, and then a breeze blew through the air, causing Xu Yi's hair to flutter slightly.
Xu Yi smiled. The Wind Blast Array on the door had been directly destroyed by him, and could no longer be triggered.
Without the obstruction of the Wind Blast Array, Xu Yi only needed to aim at the Wind Blast Array on the door and release a small fan. The plug that was blocking the door was cut down from the middle.
With a creak, the door of the room opened.
"You think you can trap me with just a level-three Magic Array? You're looking down on me too much." Xu Yi snorted softly and stepped out of the door.
However, just as he stepped out of the door, a few figures suddenly flashed by outside the door and blocked Xu Yi's path.
"Who's there?
How dare you be so presumptuous in the palace!
Capture him! "
Accompanied by an angry roar, three strong men wearing the uniform of the palace guards pounced on Xu Yi together.
Seeing these three fierce-looking fellows pouncing on him, Xu Yi was a little hesitant.
Destroying the trap was not a problem, but if he were to attack the palace guards, he was afraid that there would really be a problem.
However, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate. The three palace guards were already in front of him. If he did not resist, he would only be captured.
Xu Yi sighed softly in his heart. He raised his hand and was about to release a spell.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a soft shout was heard.
The hands of the three palace guards were about to touch Xu Yi's body, but after hearing this soft shout, they immediately stopped and remained motionless.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and took two steps back. Only then did he disperse the Magic Power that had been fully condensed. Looking in the direction of the voice, he was stunned again.
The person who had suddenly appeared and shouted at the palace guards to stop was actually Harvey.
Sensing Xu Yi's gaze, Harvey nodded at Xu Yi and then turned to one of the guards who seemed to be the leader of this group of palace guards based on his attire. In a stern voice, he asked, "What's going on?"
The guard leader immediately bowed to Harvey and answered loudly, "Reporting to Lord Viscount, a few of us happened to be patrolling nearby and rushed over when we heard an abnormal noise. Then, we saw …" The guard leader pointed at Xu Yi.
"He broke through the door of this room.
We don't know this person and thought that he was an assassin. So, we were going to capture him and interrogate him. "
Harvey frowned and thought for a moment. He waved his hand, "Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Go."
The guard leader was a little hesitant, "Lord Viscount, but he …"
Harvey glared, "He's His Majesty the King's guest. Do I need to explain it to you?"
The guard leader trembled and quickly stood up straight, shaking his head solemnly.
"Then why aren't you leaving?
Why are you standing here like idiots? "Harvey shouted again.
The guard leader glanced at Xu Yi and hurriedly left with the other guards.
After they were far away, Harvey walked to Xu Yi with a sullen face and asked in a low voice, "Chairman Xu, what's going on?"
Xu Yi thought for a moment and described what he saw after entering the palace.
After listening to Xu Yi's story, Harvey frowned. He obviously couldn't figure it out, but he only thought for a moment and shook his head, "There's no time to think about these things now.
Chairman Xu, it's almost time for His Majesty the King to summon you. Come with me, I'll take you to see His Majesty the King.
“
Xu Yi nodded and followed Harvey to the other side of the palace.
After walking in silence for a while, Harvey saw that there was no one around and suddenly said to Xu Yi in a low voice, "Chairman Xu, when you see His Majesty the King later, please don't mention what just happened."
Xu Yi looked at him and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what's important and what's not."
Harvey nodded approvingly, "Chairman Xu is indeed a sensible person.
Let me tell you a piece of good news. His Majesty the King has seen the results of our experiments these days and is very satisfied with the results. He has also praised you and the New Flyer.
When he sees you later, as long as your performance is satisfactory, he will definitely give you a very generous reward. "
Xu Yi laughed, "The reward doesn't matter, as long as His Majesty the King can accept my proposal."
"That will depend on whether or not Chairman Xu can convince His Majesty the King." Harvey smiled.
After walking for a while in the palace, Harvey led Xu Yi to a large garden and stopped.
"I can only send you here. In a moment, the chamberlain will lead you in, and then you can see His Majesty the King." Harvey thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Remember, don't say anything unnecessary."
Xu Yi looked at him and was a bit surprised why he was this nervous.
No matter what, this was still the royal palace. Could it be that Harvey really thought that he could hide what happened here from the master of the royal palace?
Of course, Xu Yi wouldn't express the doubts in his heart, he just gave a slight nod to show that he understood.
Harvey waved his hand at the chamberlain on the side and explained Xu Yi's identity to the chamberlain. Then the chamberlain signaled to Xu Yi that he could follow him in.
When Xu Yi was about to walk in, it was like he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
After pausing, Xu Yi came to Harvey's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Viscount Harvey, since His Majesty places importance on the agricultural magic machines, the best method is to let nature take its course and not do anything unnecessary.
Otherwise, if there are too many things added, it will be hard to predict what the result will be. "
Harvey's eyes slightly narrowed and his gaze looking at Xu Yi suddenly became sharp.
After looking at Xu Yi for a while, Harvey said in a voice that was who knows how much colder, "Chairman Xu, since you are a smart person, you should know that there are many things that are unrelated to you and you don't have the ability to meddle in them."
Xu Yi revealed a smile. He thought that this Harvey's shrewdness wasn't deep enough. After being casually probed by him, he actually revealed the true face that was hidden under the mask.
Of course, it was also possible that he disdained hiding anything in front of Xu Yi. In the end, it was like he said, with Xu Yi's current status and strength, there were many things that he didn't have the ability to meddle in.
Therefore, even though he knew that what he encountered after entering the palace today was very likely related to the battle between some important figures, and that he was only being used as a pawn, he still could not do anything about it. He could not even express any opinions.
Of course, Xu Yi didn't care that much about this. Anyway, the battle between these important people didn't matter to him, he just wanted to achieve his goal.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi shook his head and threw out all the irrelevant thoughts in his mind, focusing his mind again.
If the goal of creating an industrial system was considered a war, then this meeting with the king would without a doubt be an important battle in the early stages of this war.
