Great Magician Telucci was satisfied as he left the Principality of Constantine.
Although he had decided to join the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce, as one of the five Great Magicians of the Lampari Kingdom, his every action would be watched by everyone, so it was impossible for him to do as he pleased.
Joining the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce would affect many things, so he had to return to the Lampari Kingdom to take care of these matters before he could officially join the New Flyer.
Moreover, after considering many things, Xu Yi didn't plan on having him move to the Principality of Constantine like Great Magician Camilla. He wanted him to stay in the Lampari Kingdom and work for the New Flyer.
Xu Yi even suggested to Great Magician Telucci to set up an independent research institute for him. He could stay in Anvilmar City and wouldn't even need to move.
But this suggestion was rejected by Great Magician Telucci.
Because Great Magician Telucci thought that since he had decided to join the New Flyer, he couldn't just do it on the surface. He should really work for the New Flyer and make contributions.
So after both sides discussed this, Great Magician Telucci finally decided to enter the Academy of Magic branch in the Falling Rain Valley outside Banta City, mainly leading the research there.
And because Great Magician Telucci paid special attention to developing Caraska Island, his initial plan was to develop the Magic Boats after joining the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
After hearing from Xu Yi that the Magic Boats could carry over ten thousand tons, Great Magician Telucci's enthusiasm for the Magic Boats instantly surpassed Great Magician Camilla who was very interested in the Magic Boats.
As for the development plan around Caraska Island that Xu Yi gave, Great Magician Telucci deeply approved of it and was even more determined to join the New Flyer.
Not long after Great Magician Telucci left, another guest came to Xu Yi's private manor on the cliff.
It was Anklo who he hadn't seen in a long time.
When he saw Anklo in the living room, Xu Yi found that compared to last time, Anklo had changed greatly.
This change wasn't just his skin becoming a bit darker and a bit rougher. At the same time, his face was much thinner and his body was much more muscular. This change in appearance, it was a clear change in his aura.
The previous Anklo looked sharp and people could see the shrewdness in his eyes, knowing that he definitely wasn't a simple person.
At that time, Anklo was full of ambition and motivation. He was full of vigor and spirit.
But the current Anklo, he was, he couldn't see a trace of his aura..
At first glance, it was almost impossible for people to notice his existence. There was no longer any trace of his previous sharpness.
But after Xu Yi sized him up, he found that Anklo's aura and aura had become much more profound than before. Perhaps it could be said that he had become much more shrewd, making it impossible for people to look down on him.
What surprised Xu Yi even more was that when he approached Anklo, he could smell a faint smell of blood coming from him. It made one's heart filled with a sense of danger.
But the surprise only lasted for a moment in Xu Yi's heart before it turned into relief.
Anyone who had experienced such a drastic change in environment in the past year would probably experience the same drastic change as Anklo.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi revealed a smile and handed over a glass of wine that Liz had prepared.
"How is it?
I haven't seen you in a year, how have you been? "
Anklo took the glass of wine and smiled. The solemn expression on his face faded a lot.
"It's been good.
At least everything is under control. "
"Is that so?
That's good. "Xu Yi nodded and took a sip of the wine.
He did not speak, and Anklo did not speak either. The two of them began to drown their sorrows in wine.
After finishing the glass of wine, seeing that Xu Yi didn't move at all, Anklo finally couldn't help asking, "Chairman Xu, I think ….. you should know why I'm here this time."
Xu Yi put down the wine cup and looked at him before giving a slight nod.
"You're here for weapons and equipment, right?"
"Yes."
"It's not a problem to keep providing you with weapons and equipment, but Anklo ….." Xu Yi paused before knitting his brows and continuing, "The weapons and equipment you bought from our company last time, you're still missing three hundred and sixty thousand gold coins.
If I continue to provide you with more, I won't be able to answer to the others in the Chamber of Commerce. "
Anklo had expected Xu Yi to bring this up, so he wasn't surprised. He nodded and said, "Yes, I understand.
But Chairman Xu, this is your investment in me, isn't it?
And judging from the results, your investment this time should be very fruitful. At the very least, the fact that you can sit here leisurely and drink with me is proof. "
"Yes, I admit." Xu Yi nodded.
"But I can do this even without your help. The results might even be better.
Also, the Chamber of Commerce and I have encountered a lot of trouble here. Can you tell me what benefits I can get from continuing to invest in you? "
"Of course!"
Anklo puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Because I'm different from the other lords in the Duchy. As long as I become the ruler of the Duchy, I will do my best to cooperate with the New Flyer. I will make the magic machine industry the most important industry in the Principality of Constantine!
Other than me, no one else will do this.
Even the King of the Lampari Kingdom won't do it! "
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Anklo mention the King of the Lampari Kingdom.
"Alright, I admit that you make a lot of sense.
But Anklo, you're just a small viscount. The territory you rule isn't even as big as our Xinfei Farm. How can I believe that you can become the ruler of the Duchy? "
"As long as you continue to support me and provide me with enough weapons and equipment, I can guarantee that this will be the case!" Anklo sneered.
"Those lords in the duchy only have fat for brains. Their armies are at best a flock of sheep. How could they possibly stop my footsteps?"
"Hmm … I agree with that.
You've fought with more than a dozen lords this year and won every single one of them. You're really strong. "Xu Yi nodded and praised.
"So, as long as you continue to support me, there's no need to guess at the result."
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before nodding, "Alright, to be honest, I've already made my decision when I met you.
I can continue to support you, but Anklo, I can't keep investing without seeing any returns at all. You should understand this. "
Anklo revealed a smile and took out a thick stack of papers for Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took it to look and found that it was a transfer contract for two iron mines and four Magic Crystal mines. The bottom was signed by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
"Six mines?
That's quite a large amount. "
Xu Yi flicked the contract in his hand. He looked at Anklo and said with a faint smile, "But if I'm not wrong, these six mines aren't under your control yet. How can you transfer them to our company?"
"They aren't under my control right now, but that doesn't mean they won't be in the future."
Anklo revealed a faint smile, "As long as Chairman Xu agrees to my request, I promise that in half a year, these six contracts will take effect."
"Oh?
Is that so? "Xu Yi carefully looked over the six contracts before slowly nodding.
"Alright, deal."
Anklo immediately broke out in laughter, "Good, I knew that Chairman Xu was a smart person, you really are straightforward.
According to the old rules, I'll send someone to receive the goods tomorrow.
Other than that ….. Chairman Xu, I've heard that your company has developed several new military magic machines? "
Xu Yi shook his head and calmly said, "I can't tell you that."
Anklo looked at Xu Yi for a while before revealing another smile.
"Alright, then let's do this for now.
If Chairman Xu is willing to talk to me in the future, I will be very happy to listen. "
Anklo stood up after saying this and gave Xu Yi a bow before leaving.
Xu Yi didn't have any intention of keeping him, but when he came to the door, he suddenly said, "Anklo, I've heard that ….. in the south of the duchy, there are many people calling you a traitor?"
Anklo paused for a while before turning around. His face was as calm as water as he said with a cold snort, "It's just some wild dogs barking, it's not worth paying attention to."
"Oh?
Is that so? "
Anklo was silent for a bit before suddenly giving a sigh and saying in a low voice, "Perhaps there are many people calling me names, but how many people in this country really treat it as a country?
The Principality of Constantine?
He ….. Did this duchy really exist? "
Seeing the bitter expression on Anklo's face, thinking of the depression that Anklo had shown in front of him before, Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort him with.
"Alright, let's just treat it as me being a traitor.
But instead of letting most of the people in this country be bullied by those parasites, it's better to overthrow everything and change to a new method.
As long as we can let the people of this country live a real life, what's a few curses? "
Watching Anklo's figure gradually disappear into the night outside the manor, Xu Yi shook his head and gave a sigh.
There were many people like Anklo on Earth, and most of them were known as revolutionaries.
In terms of Sines, in the history of Sines that Xu Yi knew, he was the first one.
There were good and bad outcomes for revolutionaries on earth, but what about Anklo's outcome?
Xu Yi wasn't optimistic about this.
