Volume 4 Chapter 35 From Caraska Island
If the people of Banta City saw the current Xu Yi, they definitely wouldn’t think he was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman.
Compared to when he was in Banta City, Xu Yi was currently much darker or rather, there was a healthy feel from his bronze skin.
With the light on him, Xu Yi who was only wearing shorts was like a child. He jumped off the cliff and dove into the sea water.
“Putong.”
This part chosen by Xu Yi was deep enough. When Xu Yi jumped in, he sank like a stone in water and made a deep sound.
After a while, he came out of the water with a fish that was half as long as his arm that was completely white.
“Hey, Still, I have tonight’s dinner!” Xu Yi raised the fish in his hand and happily shouted to Still on the coast.
Still used one hand to block the sun that was shining down on the coast as she looked at the fish in Xu Yi’s hand. She found that there were traces of lightning flowing on the fish, which she couldn’t help laughing at.
“Hey, you’re using Lightning Magic for a fish? Isn’t this too wasteful?”
Xu Yi laughed as he suddenly flew out of the sea. With a splash of water, he flew to the coast and fell by Still’s side.
“What is a waste? As a powerful magician, should I not use my useful magic and catch it with my bare hands?”
Xu Yi threw the fish into the bucket that Still had prepared on the side as he gave a snort with a look of disdain.
“I’m not like those relics in Anvilmar City, I would say that being primitive is best. Humph, isn’t it because humans learned how to use tools that we became the masters of this world?”
Still couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him, “Alright, I just said it casually and you say all this. It seems like you aren’t as uncaring as you say you are.”
Xu Yi gave a sigh and sat down. He took still by the waist and felt the feeling of her exposed midriff in her swimsuit.
“It’s a lie if I say I don’t mind at all, but.....Since I’ve decided to throw them away, there’s nothing to be said. I just feel disappointed at how those fellows won’t change their ideas.”
“Isn’t it only a small part?” Still took the towel and helped Xu Yi wipe his hair while saying in a gentle voice, “Most people in the kingdom have already accepted the new magic machines. Moreover, King Eric has also attached great importance to the magic machine industry, as well as promoting it, claiming that he would do his best to promote the magic machine industry?”
Xu Yi gave a strong snort, “They just think that the magic machine industry will earn them money, but which one of them is sincere in developing the magic machine industry?”
“If they can’t earn money, it would be impossible to be this positive, right?” Still said with a smile, “Anyway, no matter what, at least the magic machine industry has been accepted by those stubborn nobles and they have invested in it. At least there were few stubborn old men left.”
Xu Yi looked at the sun that was close to set and after a while, he shook his head wtih a sigh.
“Forget it, I won’t think about those things. Anyway, I have left the foundation for them, so it can be considered quite tolerant, I can’t just keep caring about them.”
“Un, that’s right.” Still nodded with a faint smile before pointing at the Frestech Farm in the distance, “Look, you can make a new start here, isn’t that quite good?”
Xu Yi turned and looked at the new factory on the Frestech Farm, thinking that this experience was different from having no experience at all.
In the beginning, he felt very difficult just building one factory in Karma City, but now that the main body of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been moved here, they used only three months to build a factory. This was quite the large difference.
According to their estimates, before the end of this year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce should be able to officially establish their Stantine Duchy production base.
When that time comes, it would be equal to a new start in the Stantine Duchy. They wouldn’t be affected by all kinds of things like when they were back in Banta City.
But speaking of not being influenced......
Xu Yi turned back to look in the direction of the south of the Frestech Farm. If he really wanted to create a magic machine industry that he controlled that wasn’t influenced by anything, he needed to solve a very important problem first.
“Look, grandfather is back!” Still beside him suddenly called out and cut through Xu Yi’s thoughts.
Turning over and looking at the sea, he saw ten black spots quickly approaching.
After a while, those ten black spots turned into small boats. They created ten lines in the water and cut through the water as they approached.
In the center was naturally Great Magician Camilla.
Seeing Great Magician Camilla standing on the bow facing the wind, looking quite valiant and proud, Xu Yi couldn’t help turning to say to Still, “I feel....that grandfather really is getting younger.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Still smiled before getting up to go down to the wharf to welcome them.
Xu Yi shook his head and followed her.
When they came to the sea, Great Magician Camilla had already charged in with the first boat.
He didn’t slow down and when he was about to slam into the wharf, his boat suddenly stopped and created a wave that flew right at Still and Xu Yi on the wharf.
Still casually raised her hand and a blue barrier appeared in front of her and Xu Yi, blocking off this wave.
When the water fell, Still snappily looked at Great Magician Camilla.
“Grandfather, how many times will you use this trick before you’re satisfied?”
Great Magician Camilla laughed, “I’m just seeing if you’re being lazy with your magic practice, this is for your good.”
Still rolled her eyes and ignored him. Xu Yi looked at Great Magician Telucci who was sitting in the boat with a pale look and said in a gentle voice, “Your excellency Great Magician, are you.....alright?”
Great Magician Telucci took a deep breath before slowly letting it out, only then did his face look a bit better. He gave Xu Yi a bitter smile and shook his head, “I’m not that good.” Then he turned to Great Magician Camilla and said with a serious look, “Camilly, I’ve known you for so many years and I’ve only learned today that you’re a maniac! I firmly believe that I won’t ride any magic vehicles with you in the future, whether it is the Magic Boat or the Magic Sedan!”
Great Magician Camilla curled his lips and said in disdain, “That’s because your body is bad. To be honest, Telucci, you should train your body a bit, otherwise you might not be able to live that long. Look at those fellows that also came from Caraska Island, why aren’t you like them?”
“Nonsense, they are all twenty year old young fellows, how could mI compare to them!” Great Magician Telucci angrily said, “Then again, which one of them is driving the Magic Boat like you, wildly charging forward?”
Great Magician Camilla laughed, “You just didn’t see it. Let me tell you, when those fellows compete with me, they are all more wild than me. It’s definitely because a Great Magician like you is coming back for a rare visit to his hometown that they are a bit more restrained.”
Great Magician Telucci looked at the ten Magic Boats not far away and gave a snort before being too lazy to argue with Great Magician Camilla.
Seeing the two had finally stopped, Xu Yi quickly asked Great Magician Telucci, “Your excellency Great Magician, now that you’ve returned to Caraska Island after several years, do you feel it’s greatly changed?”
Hearing Xu Yi ask about Karaska Island, Great Magician Telucci’s anger at Great Magician Camilla disappeared. After thinking for a bit, he revealed a happy smile.
“It changed greatly. Compared to when I lived on the island when I was younger, the current Caraska Island has completely changed. Not only do the people on the island not have to worry about their livelihoods, they also have new clothes, new houses, and even the children have toys to play with. I was really happy when I visited the island this time. Xu Yi, the agreement I made with you back then really was the best decision I made in my life!”
“You’re praising too much.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Since I agreed to help solve the daily worries of the Caraska Island residents, no longer forcing them to work as pirates, naturally I would do my best. I’ve only solved their living problems now, that is far from being enough for me.”
“Oh?” Great Magician Telucci asked Xu Yi in an excited voice, “What are you planning to do next? Caraska Island is only so big, I feel that it’s very hard to develop, right? Unless......you move them all off the island.”
“I did have this idea, but too many people on the island didn’t agree. They didn’t want to leave after living there so long. Moreover, I don’t feel there is the need for this. Even if they stay on the island, there is a chance to improve their lives.”
“Really? Tell me about it, what are you planning to do?”
“This.....” Xu Yi laughed, “Great Magician Telucci, to achieve this goal, we can’t lack your help.”
Great Magician Telucci was a bit surprised before he couldn’t help laughing. He reached out to point at Xu Yi, “I knew it, this kid wouldn’t suffer a loss in a deal. Alright, I’ve already seen the changes you’ve brought to Caraska Island, I believe that you can improve their lives. Since it’s like this, I’ll follow our agreement and join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, officially becoming your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic research facility’s researcher.”
