Chapter 107: Just a Pawn

Reaching out his hand to reach the door of the room, Xu Yi was just trying hard, but suddenly his heart froze, and he quickly retracted his hand.

At that moment just now, he could clearly feel a strange magic wave coming from the door of the room.

This ordinary door was actually covered with a magic circle!

If Xu Yi continued to exert force, this magic circle would definitely be triggered.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand again.

His fingers touched the door of the room lightly, and Xu Yi poked out a very weak magic power from his fingers, and followed the magic circle on the door to probe the past little by little.

In order to develop a qualified magic machine, Xu Yi's research on magic circles has now reached a very high level, so he easily found out that the magic circle on this door should be a third-level wind magic circle - wind Blast array.

Once this magic circle is triggered, there will be a strong airflow gushing out from the magic circle.

Although the power of the third-level magic circle is not large, even if it is directly hit by the airflow, it will not kill people, but the airflow power of the wind explosion circle is enough to blow people directly out, even if they don't die, they will inevitably suffer from it. Create.

After checking the door of the room, Xu Yi moved his fingers from the door to the wall, and then used the magic power protruding along the wall to probe down.

In the end, it was discovered that, in addition to the door, the four walls and two windows of this room were actually equipped with a wind explosion array!

In other words, this small room does not seem surprising now, but it has actually become a small prison!

Xu Yi retracted the probe's hand and frowned slightly.

The person who laid the trap doesn't seem to want his own life, but just wants to trap himself here.

But after all, this is in the palace, how long can the other party trap him without being discovered?

Xu Yi's thoughts turned in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

The other party should be coming for His Majesty's upcoming summons to him.

When Xu Yi left the office, it was already around 4:00 in the afternoon. It took nearly half an hour on the way from the office to the palace and back here. In addition, after waiting here for a while, it was actually almost the time of the king. His Majesty informed Xu Yi that he was summoned at five points.

The person who set the trap wasn't going to trap him to death, but just wanted to trap him for a while. Let him not be able to meet His Majesty the King on time.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi's heart sank.

With his current status, it is very rare to have the opportunity to meet with His Majesty the King. If such a rare opportunity is available, he will not be able to arrive on time. That would undoubtedly leave a very bad impression on His Majesty the King.

Even if Xu Yi could explain it afterwards, he might not have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the King again, and even if he did, His Majesty might not believe him.

In any case, missing this time will bring a very serious blow to Xu Yi's plan.

Time was running out. Although Xu Yi still had a lot of questions in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it. He glanced at the door of the room that was still closed, and snorted softly. Clap it with a palm.

A magic power that was countless times stronger than the previous exploration was used from the palm of the hand, and instantly turned into countless trickles that enveloped the entire room door.

The wind explosion array arranged on the door has been completely covered by Xu Yi's magic power in the blink of an eye, but there is no trace of being triggered at all.

After a while, a faint pale blue light flashed on the door. Then a breeze blew out of thin air, blowing Xu Yi's hair slightly.

Xu Yi showed a smile, the wind explosion array on the door had been directly destroyed by him, and could no longer be triggered.

Without the obstruction of the wind blasting formation, Xu Yi only needed to release a small fan at the wind system of the door, and the pin blocking the door was cut off.

"Squeak", the door of the room opened.

"Relying on the third-level magic circle is like trapping me. It's too conspicuous." Xu Yi snorted softly and stepped out of the door.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, several figures suddenly flashed past and stopped in front of Xu Yi.

"Who? Dare to be arrogant in the palace! Catch him for me!"

With an angry shout, three strong men in uniforms of the palace guards rushed towards Xu Yi.

Seeing these three guys pounce fiercely, Xu Yi hesitated.

Destroying the trap is no problem. But if you shoot at the palace guards, I'm afraid there will be a real problem.

However, at this time, the situation could no longer allow him to hesitate. The three palace guards had already rushed in front of him. If he didn't resist, he would only be caught.

Xu Yi sighed in his heart. Raising his hand, he was ready to release magic.

"stop!"

At this moment, a light drink sounded.

The hands of the three palace guards were about to touch Xu Yi's body, but after hearing this soft drink, they immediately stopped and remained motionless.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, took two steps back, and then dissipated the magic power that had been condensed, looked at the place where the sound came from, and then was stunned again.

The person who suddenly appeared and stopped the palace guard was actually Harvey.

Aware of Xu Yi's gaze, Harvey nodded to Xu Yi, then turned to one of the guards who should be the commander of this group of palace guards judging from his clothes, and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

The commander of the guards immediately gave a salute to Harvey and replied loudly: "Report, Lord Viscount, a few of us happened to be patrolling around here, and when we heard an abnormal noise, we rushed over, and then we saw..." The commander of the guards pointed Refers to Xu also. "He broke out of this room. We don't know this man, we think he's an assassin, so we're going to arrest him for interrogation."

Harvey frowned, thought for a moment, and waved his hand: "Okay, you have nothing to do here, let's go."

The guard commander hesitated: "Lord Viscount, but he..."

Harvey stared: "He is a guest of His Majesty the King, do I need to explain it to you again?"

The commander of the guards shivered, straightened up quickly, and shook his head solemnly.

"Then why don't you hurry? What are you doing standing here?" Harvey shouted again.

The commander of the guards glanced at Xu Yi and hurriedly left with several other guards.

When they were all gone, Harvey walked over to Xu Yi with a sullen face, and asked in a low voice, "President Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Yi thought for a while and described what he saw after entering the palace.

After listening to Xu Yi's remarks, Harvey frowned, obviously a little confused. But he just thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have time to think about these things now. President Xu, it's about time for His Majesty the King to summon you. Come with me and I'll take you there. Your Majesty the King."

Xu Yi nodded. Follow Harvey to the other direction in the palace.

After walking for a while in silence, seeing that there was no one left or right, Harvey suddenly whispered to Xu Yi: "President Xu, after seeing His Majesty the King for a while, please don't mention what happened just now."

Xu Yi glanced at him and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I know that this time is a serious matter."

Harvey nodded approvingly: "President Xu really understands. Let me tell you good news. After reading the results report of our test these days, His Majesty the King is very satisfied with the results, especially for you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Appreciate it. See you later. As long as you behave to his satisfaction, you will be rewarded very handsomely later."

Xu Yi laughed: "It doesn't matter what the reward is, as long as His Majesty the King can accept my proposal."

"It depends on President Xu whether you can convince His Majesty the King." Harvey laughed.

After walking for a while in the palace, Harvey led Xu Yi to a large garden and stopped.

"I can only send you here. The maid will lead you in later, and then you can see His Majesty the King." Harvey thought for a while, and then whispered: "Remember, don't Talk extra."

Xu Yi glanced at him, a little surprised why he was so nervous.

After all, this is a palace, does Harvey really think that he can hide what happened here from the owner of this palace?

Of course, Xu also would not express the doubts in his heart. Just nod lightly to show understanding.

Harvey then beckoned to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time, explained Xu Yi's identity to the waiter, and then the waiter signaled to Xu Yi that he could follow him in.

Xu Yi was about to step in when he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

After a pause, Xu Yi came to Harvey. In a voice that only two people could hear, he said, "Viscount Harvey, since His Majesty the King attaches so much importance to the farmland magic machinery, the best way is to just let nature take its course and do not need to do extra things. Otherwise, there will be too many things added. It's hard to predict what will happen."

Harvey's eyes shrank slightly, and his gaze towards Xu Yi suddenly became sharp.

After staring at Xu Yi for a long time, Harvey replied softly in a voice that was colder than before: "President Xu, since you are a smart person, you should know that many things are related to you. It doesn't matter, you don't have the ability to intervene."

Xu Yi smiled, thinking that Harvey's palace was still not deep enough, and after being tested by himself, he actually revealed his true face that was well hidden under the mask.

Of course, it's also possible that he doesn't bother to hide anything in front of Xu Yi at all. After all, as he said, with Xu Yi's current status and strength, he really doesn't have the ability to intervene in many things.

So even if he knew that what he encountered after entering the palace today is likely to be related to the battle between some big people, he was just used as a pawn, but he still had no way to do it, and he couldn't even publish it. any comments.

Of course, Xu Yi didn't care much about it. Anyway, how these big men fought had little to do with him, as long as he could achieve his goals.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi shook his head gently, throwing all irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and regained his concentration.

If the achievement of the goal of creating an industrial system is regarded as a war, then this meeting with His Majesty the King is undoubtedly an extremely important battle at the beginning of the war.
