Akali jumped out of the door of the first medium sized Magic Car and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she gave a long stretch.
"Great!
We're finally here!
Really, after sitting in the car for so long, I'm about to die from exhaustion. "
Claire jumped out after Akali and rolled her eyes at her, "Come on, we didn't even sit for eight hours, alright?
What is there to be tired about?
Don't forget, when we took the horse carriage here last year, it took us over two days. "
"That's right, now that we have the Magic Car, it's much easier to come here." Bella who followed behind also looked at Akali with a look of disdain.
"I think that you're too used to enjoying yourself and have forgotten all the hardships you've suffered before."
Akali pouted her lips in an unconvinced manner, "Who said that?
I haven't sat in the Magic Car that many times, alright?
Then again, no matter what, it's hard to take sitting in it for eight hours.
If it can be like sir chairman said and we can get here in two-three hours, then I won't say it's hard. "
"Alright, sir chairman also said that it's fine if you can get here in two-three hours. As long as you can develop the new Magic Engine, there's no problem." Claire said.
"You say it like it's not related to you!" Akali immediately refuted.
"Claire, don't forget, your team's magic circulation system is also very important, alright?"
Claire laughed, "Our project is about to be finished, but what about the Magic Car's central control system that your team is responsible for?
Have you finished half of it? "
"Of course!
We've already set the standard for the Magic Array's magic vibration frequency, now we just need to … … "
Before Akali could finish, Evita who got out glared at her. Only then did she react and quickly close her mouth.
Seeing Evita's gaze, Claire and Bella stuck out their tongues and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Don't discuss technology outside, how many times do I have to remind you?"
Evita reprimanded the three before waving her hand behind her. Three researchers from the Academy of Magic ran over.
"Keep an eye on the people in your team. Don't lose them.
In the next few days in Anvilmar City, no matter what happens to your respective teams, I will hold you accountable. Do you understand? "
The three researchers nodded in unison, their expressions stern.
"Alright, let's go in now. Everyone has been on the bus for too long and must be tired. Rest early today and don't go out and wander around."
Watching Evita walk towards the door of the Sheldon Inn, Akali behind them suddenly came to Claire and Bella's side, whispering in a mysterious voice, "Hey, don't you feel that Evita is becoming more and more dignified?
Sometimes, even I don't dare talk back to her. "
"That's right, that's right. I'm not the only one who thinks so." Bella nodded.
"I've been wanting to say it for a long time."
Claire said, "Evita really has the aura of a leader. I think she has been the dean for a long time, so she naturally became like this."
Akali tapped her chin, "If I knew earlier, I would have asked sir chairman to let me be the dean. It would be great if I could be as dignified as Evita."
Claire and Bella rolled their eyes at Akali, "You're the dean?
Forget it, you're not suited at all. "
Akali glared back, "You're saying it like you're suited."
"We never said that." Bella quickly denied it.
"If you ask me, if I really have to choose, Evita is the most suitable.
I have to say, sir chairman's eyes are quite good. "
Claire gave a faint sigh, "It's a pity sir chairman is so slow when it comes to relationships.
Our Academy of Magic has so many resentful women … … "
Seeing Claire's lustful gaze, Akali was angry and embarrassed. She reached out to pinch Claire's waist.
Claire gave a soft laugh as she dodged and ran into the Sheldon Hotel.
Akali and Bella shouted as they chased after them. Not long after, the Sheldon Inn's main hall was filled with researchers from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce who came from far away, making it very lively.
When Akali chased Claire into the hall, Evita was currently talking to a young man who had a strong figure and a decent appearance. He looked quite handsome.
After seeing this person's face, Akali forgot to continue messing around with Claire. She stopped to think for a bit before walking over.
"Dean Evita, the arrangements for the next few days are like this. If you and the other researchers are dissatisfied with anything, you can tell me and I can make changes."
Alex had a smile as he said to Evita, "Sir chairman told me to properly receive you and arrange everything for you in Anvilmar City, so you don't need to be polite with me."
Evita gave a slight nod, "Then I'll have to trouble you, manager Alex."
"It's nothing, it's my honour to be able to serve you."
Alex looked at Akali who was walking over and nodded to her. Then he looked at the other researchers in the lobby and continued, "Today is your first day here and there are still two days before the Sorcerers Guild exam. How about I hold a welcoming banquet for you tonight and properly receive you?"
"There's no need to trouble yourself, we're already very ….."
Akali had just opened her mouth when Evita cut her off, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble manager Alex.
But tonight's banquet doesn't need to be too luxurious, just do your best. "
"Alright, then it's settled." Seeing Evita agree, Alex immediately nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. See you tonight."
"Alright."
Watching Alex leave the Sheldon Hotel, Akali had a surprised expression as she asked Evita in a low voice, "Are we going to make a move this time?"
Evita glanced at Akali and replied softly, "If we don't deal with it as soon as possible, are we going to make a move when our losses are too great to accept?
This is the president's idea and also for vice president Heinz's sake. "
"Vice president Heinz ….." Akali looked at the door and slowly shook her head. She sighed, "Why don't I have such a good uncle?"
###
When Alex walked out of the Sheldon Hotel, Xu Yi had just walked into a tavern called Tree Shade Cabin.
"Hey, Xu Yi, over here."
Hannas' voice sounded from the corner of the tavern.
Xu Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hannas and another person sitting together in the corner with their back to the tavern door.
"Give me a glass of lemon vanilla juice first, thank you."
After speaking to the waiter, Xu Yi turned to look at the young man sitting across from Hannas and extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Xu Yi."
This young man looked even younger than Hannas and was probably in his early twenties. However, whether it was his clothes or his expression, he looked very mature. He gave off the feeling that he was as mature as Xu Yi who was already thirty years old.
He looked up at Xu Yi and then slowly stood up. He extended his hand and lightly shook Xu Yi's hand before immediately taking it back.
"Hello, Chairman Xu, I'm Murnar Lifer."
Xu Yi smiled and motioned to the other person. The two sat down together.
"Mister Lifer, since you're calling me chairman Xu, then Hannas must have already introduced me to you and even ….. explained my purpose for coming here?" Xu Yi asked.
Murnar Lifer nodded, "Yes, Hannas didn't hide your situation and intentions from me."
Xu Yi looked at Hannas and Hannas shrugged and spread his hands.
Xu Yi understood and turned to Murnar Lifer, "Since it's like this, then it's much simpler.
I think I can directly tell you my thoughts. Mr. Lifer, may I ask ….. Is your family willing to sell Great Magus Lifer's research records or any related research results? "
Murnar Lifer seemed to be surprised by Xu Yi's straightforward question. He looked at Xu Yi in surprise and after a while, he shook his head with a bitter smile, "Even the necklace that grandmother treasured the most was sold. What do you think we can't sell?"
Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a smile.
It was good that they were willing to sell, he was just afraid they wouldn't sell.
"Then may I ask Mr. Lifer, can you represent your family this time?
I mean ….. Can I discuss the purchase of those research records with you? "Xu Yi asked again.
"We can discuss, but I won't make the final decision." Murnar Lifer replied.
Xu Yi nodded, "I understand.
Alright, Mr. Lifer, I know that in Great Magus Lifer's later years, he researched magic machines for a period of time and left behind quite a bit of research data.
I'm interested in the data he left behind.
May I ask if your family has kept this data and is willing to sell it? "
Xu Yi shook his head, "This valuable information is naturally preserved, but chairman Xu, I'm very curious. Hasn't your Frestech Chamber of Commerce already obtained good results in terms of magic machine research?
Why do you still want to obtain great grandfather's research data? "Murnar Lifer asked.
"There's a saying in my hometown, it's called three people walk together. There must be someone among them that can be my teacher.
It means that no matter what, you can find something worth learning from others.
Although our New Flyer has some results in magic machines, Great Magus Lifer is still a legendary Great Magus. I think that as long as he has some research on magic machines, he will have his own unique insights that we can learn from. "Xu Yi replied.
"I appreciate your words." Murnar Lifer said with a nod.
"For New Flyer to have a chairman like you, it's no wonder they can develop so quickly.
Alright, I'll represent my father to temporarily agree to sell these research data to your New Flyer. "
Xu Yi's mind shook, "Then I'll ask Mr. Lifer to name a price.
How many gold coins?
I think that as long as it's not too excessive, I'll accept it without any reservations. "
Murnar Lifer revealed his first smile since meeting and it actually contained a bit of slyness.
"Chairman Xu, I never said that the sale of these research data had to be paid in gold coins, right?"
