It was already deep into the night.
Banta City's new district was filled with lights and one could hear the noise of the streets in the distance, as well as the unrestrained laughter. It showed why this city was called the pearl of the southwest corner of the continent and the city that never sleeps.
Xu Yi looked at the bright lights in the distance and heard the familiar sounds that entered his ears. He felt like he had transmigrated back to a big city on earth.
Banta City was the place where the New Flyer was born. After many years of development, it had already become a large city that could compare to the Royal City of the Lampari Kingdom, or even surpass it. It had an important position in the southwest corner of the Sines, being known as the magic machine industry capital of the continent, so naturally it was incomparably prosperous.
But as Xu Yi walked through the streets of Banta City's new district, his heart was filled with sadness and melancholy, as well as ….. a bit of confusion.
Yes, the sadness and melancholy in Xu Yi's heart wasn't that strong.
Heinz was already close to ninety years old this year and now that he was dead, for a normal human other than a magician, it was already considered a very long life. It far surpassed the average lifespan of a Sines person, so he had lived a good life.
Moreover, since he stepped down as the New Flyer's vice chairman, he had been in a state of retirement for the past twenty years. With the large income from the New Flyer's shares, not only did he and aunt Ria enjoy a luxurious life, even his friends and family were brought along, living a very good life.
So when Xu Yi left, Heinz patted Xu Yi's shoulder with a satisfied look. He said that even if he died now, it was worth it. The only regret was that he couldn't personally see Xu Yi realize his dream.
Xu Yi didn't say anything and just casually said goodbye to Heinz before leaving Heinz's manor.
He knew that Heinz probably wouldn't live to see the sun tomorrow.
Although Heinz's face was rosy and filled with vigor, as well as him being able to drink large mouthfuls of wine, he didn't seem like an old man who was almost ninety years old at all. Xu Yi was very clear that it was because of the Life Praise Magic of the elves that Heinz's life force was stimulated, allowing him to become this healthy in a short period of time.
However, once this life force was exhausted, only death awaited Heinz.
He didn't have much life force left to begin with, and now that he had used the Life Commendation, there was no way he could survive the night.
Even so, Xu Yi refused Alex's invitation to spend the night in the manor and chose to leave quietly.
Heinz knew very well that he was about to die. He definitely had a lot of things to tell his family and friends. It was meaningless for him to stay there. Instead, he would disturb them.
Moreover, he didn't want to stay there and wait for the news of Heinz's death.
However, this didn't mean that Xu Yi was indifferent to Heinz's death. On the contrary, seeing Heinz reach the end of his life with his own eyes gave Xu Yi a very subtle feeling.
It had been more than 30 years since he transmigrated to this world. He had already taken root here and had a great impact on this world. He had already completely integrated into this world.
However, Heinz was the first person he was close to to to die in the 30 years since he transmigrated to this world.
Xu Yi was only 27 years old when he transmigrated. His parents were healthy, and so were his grandparents. His classmates and friends were also safe and sound. There had never been any accidents, so this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He always thought that he was strong enough and would be able to deal with anything indifferently, but this was his first time facing the death of his family and friends, so he was still at a loss.
So after leaving Heinz's manor, he should have returned to the New Flyer's Banta City branch to rest, but he felt that his thoughts were a bit chaotic. He chose to get out of the car and wandered around alone.
He needed to be alone to sort out his thoughts.
After taking two steps, Xu Yi looked up at the night sky and found that today was the rare night with two moons in the Sines.
Alice and Tydas were hanging in the upper left and lower right corners of the night sky. They complemented each other and made the night sky very bright.
Xu Yi's eyes fell onto Alice and he thought of the ruins left behind by the Abyss Demon Race that Kassandra had found. Thinking of how these ruins could send Kassandra back to the planet under her feet from Alice that was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, he revealed a bitter smile.
He had always thought of going to space as his dream, but the main reason was that he wanted to return to earth.
When he had just transmigrated to this world, his mind had always been filled with thoughts of returning to earth.
But in the beginning, he didn't have a way at all.
But now from the ruins left behind by the Abyss Demon Race, he saw a trace of hope.
The Abyss Demon Race could use this Magic Array to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers, so it was very likely that they had the ability to cross the sea of stars.
If he also grasped this technology, wouldn't he have hope of crossing the sea of stars and returning to earth?
Even if there were countless difficulties, for example, the universe was boundless and he didn't know where earth was. For example, the sea of stars was boundless and he didn't know how many dangers there were, for example … …
But since there was a chance of going back, Xu Yi was filled with hope and wasn't willing to give up.
However, seeing Heinz's situation today, he had to remember a fact that he had deliberately forgotten for a long time.
He had transmigrated to this world for thirty years and even if he returned to earth, there was no need to mention his grandparents, his parents might not even be alive.
As for his classmates and friends, he hadn't been here for so many years, so they might have already been listed as missing or dead, being forgotten in the depths of his memories.
In this case, even if he returned to earth, what was the point?
Xu Yi stared at Alice in a daze for a long time. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind and finally turned into a sigh.
No matter what, he had lived in this world for so long and had a family and even children here. It was meaningless to think about those things that were already a foregone conclusion.
After thinking it through, Xu Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the various chaotic thoughts that had emerged because of Heinz. His face regained its calmness.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a young man and woman walking over from the opposite side. Looking at their intimate appearance, they should be a young couple.
The girl was originally pointing at Xu Yi and whispering something, but when she saw Xu Yi suddenly lower his head, she quickly put down her hand.
Xu Yi smiled, knowing that he had forgotten to use illusion magic to hide his face. The girl might have seen something, but because the street lights here weren't so bright, he wasn't sure.
With a thought, Xu Yi's face underwent some subtle changes. At first glance, he looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, but as long as one looked carefully, they would never recognize him.
After doing this, Xu Yi smiled and walked over to the young man and woman.
Sure enough, when he appeared under a street lamp and the light fully revealed his appearance, the girl immediately showed a disappointed look. She shook her head, pulled the boy and hurriedly passed by Xu Yi.
This small interlude didn't affect Xu Yi at all. He looked at the direction and slowly walked towards the place he had told them to rest.
In the past few years, he had been busy in the Demon Cloud Continent. There were very few opportunities to take a leisurely walk at night like now. Today, he might as well take a good walk.
After taking a few steps, there was a roar that came from behind him.
Xu Yi knit his brows and turned to look. He saw several dazzling lights coming from behind him and following them, there was the sound of a giant engine coming closer and closer.
Although the Magic Car was very different from the cars on earth, because it was based on Xu Yi's theory, there wasn't that much of a difference in terms of mechanical principles.
The Magic Car's engine would make mechanical noises and Xu Yi even kept a bit of this sound when developing the Magic Sedan. He wanted to pass on some of the car culture from earth.
Facts proved that this sound was very attractive. Many people who bought the Magic Sedan especially liked the sound of the engine, so the high end Magic Sedan sold by the New Flyer was as popular as the sports cars on earth.
Just like on earth, there were some young people who liked to make the engine sound even louder, disguising the normal Magic Sedan as a sports car.
But the sound that Xu Yi heard now was definitely a genuine New Flyer Super Magic Sports Car and not a counterfeit.
On this kind of night, hearing this familiar sound on the streets of the city, the first thought that appeared in Xu Yi's mind was that it was a race … …
Xu Yi didn't have a good impression of race cars and he hated race cars in the city even more.
Seeing the fast approaching lights, Xu Yi estimated that these Magic Sports Cars were definitely going over a hundred an hour, so he couldn't help giving a cold snort.
Although this street wasn't the bustling part of Banta City, there were still people coming and going. Moreover, it was only a two lane road, so it could be considered quite narrow.
These fellows actually dared to drive at such a high speed, they were simply unscrupulous.
In the blink of an eye, the lights were still approaching.
The young man and woman who had passed by Xu Yi had hidden by the side of the road when they heard this sound. However, when the Magic Sports Car in front approached, there was suddenly the sound of tires grinding on the ground. The first Magic Sports Car suddenly turned its lights and charged at the young man and woman on the side of the road.
