Magic Industry Empire - 956. Chapter 956

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yi drew a question mark with a pen on the map of the Marlow Empire, and then turned his gaze to the huge blank area at the bottom of the map, which is the southern waters of the endless sea, and frowned slightly.

His preference for maps is not only a personal hobby, but also a practical need.

Relying on this huge map of Sainz Continent that has been hung on this wall for several years, Xu Yi can clearly grasp the development situation and current situation of the entire New Flying Chamber of Commerce on Sainz Continent, and then use this It can be said that it is very helpful to make a rough judgment and estimate the future situation.

However, although this map was already the most accurate map of Sainz continent he could find, it was still far from detailed and precise.

For example, the Julu Island he wants to find on this map is clearly the largest island in the southern waters of the Ruelson Kingdom, but there is only a very random mark on this map. Any other hints are No.

And based on Xu Yi’s experience in taking the magic airship to and from Julu Island several times, the position marked on this map is at least more than a hundred kilometers away from the actual location of Julu Island, which is a huge error.

“If you have time and conditions in the future, you must have a sufficiently detailed and accurate map from the Surveying and Mapping Office.”

Xu Yi murmured, moved the Julu Island marker on the map to its true position on the upper right side, trying to make it as accurate as possible, and then smeared a bright red dot on the marker, and then again. Draw a dotted line and connect it upwards to the one he had marked before, representing the sea route dominated by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the southern waters.

After thinking about it again, Xu Yi drew a circle of dotted lines around the red dot, and after making a little gesture, he drew another circle of dotted lines.

The two dashed circles represent the range that the military base set up by the New Flying Merchants Association on Julu Island can be affected by radiation.

This range currently does not seem to be large, and it can only radiate to about 500 kilometers away, and it is not even enough to affect the southern waters of the Candela Empire further east.

This is because the maritime base currently has only two escort fleets. Although the escort fleet is excellent in combat effectiveness, the current scale of this base is still limited, and it is not enough to support the escort fleet to carry out longer-range attacks.

After gesturing this radiation range for a while, Xu Yi’s gaze shifted slightly to the right, landing on the southern sea area of the Candela Empire, which was very close to the south, a full distance of more than 300 kilometers from the southern coast of the Candela Empire.

According to intelligence, there is also an island that is rich in resources, even one-third larger than Julu Island.

The straight-line distance between this island and Julu Island is about 700 to 800 kilometers. If the frigate departs from Julu Island, it can be reached within one day. Xu Yi thinks it is the second sea base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. One choice.

Xu Yi tapped on the location of the island, and then compared the sea lane that was more than two hundred kilometers away. After thinking about it, he gently shook his head.

The reason why he chose to establish a second sea base so far from the coast of the Candela Empire was mainly because of the attitude of the Candela Empire.

It is not that the power of the Candela Imperial Navy will pose a threat to this sea base, but it is purely because Xu also does not want to destroy the current situation between the two sides that is moving steadily in a good direction.

And about 500 kilometers southwest of this sea base, is the Paradise Island currently under Leslie’s control.

After the two sea bases were completed, they formed a roughly triangle with Paradise Island.

Once one of them has a problem, the other two places can respond easily.

And a thought hidden deep in Xu Yi’s heart is that once Leslie has something wrong that causes Paradise Island to lose control, the two sea bases can also respond quickly.

After making a second estimate of all aspects of the second sea base in his mind, Xu Yi did not continue to look to the east of the map.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do things step by step.

With the current strength of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it will already take a lot of effort to successfully establish and maintain these two offshore bases.

Want to build more maritime bases, but it is temporarily impossible to consider.

“Tuk-Tuk-Tuk-Tuk-”

Just as Xu Yi was about to continue to organize his next plan on this map, the door of the study was knocked lightly.

Hearing this special frequency knock on the door, Xu Yi turned his head in surprise and joy, and saw Steele standing at the entrance of the study with a smile.

“Hey, Steele, you were invited to the Marlow Empire at the same time before I left, why did you come back today?” Xu Yi asked in surprise.

Steele cast a coquettish look at Xu Yi, and said with a chuckle: “I heard that you came back today, so I immediately rushed back from the Marlow Empire.”

Xu Yi suddenly laughed: “Who are you lie to. The Marlow Empire is more than two thousand kilometers away from here. Let’s not say how long it will take you to receive the news that I will go home today. Even if you come back immediately after knowing the news, the fastest ride It also takes a full day for the magic airship to arrive, how can it be in time.”

“You are so real, I don’t appreciate it if I make you happy…” Steele pursed his lips deliberately, and gave Xu Yi a blank look. “Well, I just rushed back because I received a very important message a few days ago, but I didn’t expect Vivienne to tell me that you have come back when I got home. It was a surprise.”

“Vivian?” Xu Yi was startled again. “Where did you see her?”

“Just outside the gate.” Steele turned and pointed in the direction of the manor gate, then sighed slightly. “Xu Yi, I found out that you have been too busy recently, and even ignored Vivienne’s feelings? I just saw her hesitating at the gate but refused to come in. Then I greeted her to come in, and she refused. She ran away. It seems…she still hasn’t opened her heart knot.”

Xu Yi was silent for a moment.

A month and a half ago, the people sent by Severini came to the Principality of Stantin, and Xu Yi handed Teresa, who had been under house arrest by him for several months, to the other party to bring back to the kingdom of Lampari.

Although Xu Yi had explained this to Vivienne in detail before and got Vivian’s understanding, seeing her best friend being taken away by others made Vivienne extremely disappointed.

During this period of time, Vivienne has been very depressed, always unable to beat her energy.

Xu Yi had the heart to enlighten her, but once it was difficult for him to spare time, secondly, Vivian always avoided him, so that he never found a chance, so he dragged it to the present.

Now listening to Steele telling about Vivienne’s current situation, Vivienne’s thin body hesitating at the entrance of the manor immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Although Vivienne was the first slave he had since he came to this world, he never treated Vivienne as a slave, and always treated her as a family member, or a younger sister.

Vivian was also very dependent on Xu Yi. Except for Steele, it was not until Teresa appeared that she had the first real friend, so she naturally attached great importance to it.

But she never imagined that Teresa was actually a spy sent by the Kingdom of Sark, and she almost caused great harm to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the spot.

Reason told Vivian that she should hate Teresa and hate her, but emotionally, this simple little girl couldn’t accept it.

This contradiction has tortured Vivian in the months since Teresa was arrested, so that she became more and more silent.

“I’ll find a chance to have a good talk with her.” Xu Yi thought for a while and sighed.

“Well, Vivienne only agrees with you in her heart. If you go and talk to her, I think she can still accept it.” Steele nodded, reached out into his arms, and took out a small and delicate look. It also looks very light, and also very thin metal sheet. “Now you tell me, what is going on?”

“Huh?” Xu Yi’s gaze fell on this new streamlined magical illusion video module jointly developed by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute. After a little thought, he immediately understood. “This is the report film about the headquarters of the Wizards Guild? Why is it in your hands?”

“I’m the president of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, what’s weird in my hands?” Steele glared at Xu Yi. “Xu Yi, why didn’t you tell me if you were going to do such a big thing? Do you know how serious the consequences will be if this phantom film is actually broadcast?”

“How serious can it be?” Xu Yi shrugged. “It’s nothing more than to let many people see the true face of the Wizards’ Union.”

“Are you crazy?” Steele suddenly raised his voice. “Do you know that once this phantom movie is actually played like you said, it will be really torn apart with the Wizards’ Guild! I don’t care what happens to the New Flying Merchants’ Association, but you may be because This is in danger! I will not agree with you doing this!”

“I will be in danger?” Xu Yi smiled. “What? Do you think the Wizards Guild will send someone to kill me?”

“Do you think they dare?” Steele strode to Xu Yi, stretched out his finger, and unceremoniously nodded Xu Yi’s forehead. “Xu Yi, are you too self-confident because the New Flying Merchants Association has developed too smoothly recently? I tell you, the Wizards’ Guild is much stronger than you thought. You offended them so to the death and suffered a loss in the end. It must be you!”

Seeing Steele’s serious expression, Xu Yi couldn’t help frowning slightly.

He and Steele have known each other for more than ten years, and once she knows something, it will be difficult to be persuaded.

But this matter is an important part of his real big plan, and it must be implemented.

It is almost impossible to convince Steele on his own. After thinking for a while, Xu Yi rolled his eyes and smiled and held Steele’s hand.

“I know you definitely don’t believe what I said, then let’s go to Grandpa and let his elderly judge, what do you think?”

“Hmph, grandpa must be facing you, when I don’t know?” Steele glared at Xu Yi.

However, under Xu Yi’s pull, she reluctantly followed Xu Yi to the outside of the manor.
