Volume 5 Chapter 147 Status problem

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce guard fleet and the two Magic Airships Xu Yi was on left Yara Harbour, but they didn’t follow the same way back, rather they went south.

The guard fleet went at their max speed and the Magic Airships followed in the air, maintaining a speed of forty kilometers an hour. Since setting off from Yara Harbour in the morning, they kept going until evening and had gone four hundred kilometers into the endless seas.

Xu Yi poked his head out the cabin and looked at the sea below. He found that it was clearly different from near the shore, he could even see a vague trace of the seabed underneath the sea. He looked up again and looked at the small islands on the sea in the distance.

“Hey, Leslie, how did you guys find this place?” Xu Yi turned to ask Leslie.

“Mostly by accident, a bit intentional.” Leslie pointed at the sea, “Didn’t you look at the sea just now? You can clearly see that there is only a small difference between this place and the shore, right?”

“Un, this place means that there is a continental shelf here, which means that there is a large piece of land nearby.”

“I don’t know what the continental shelf is, but the sailors know what this phenomenon means. We explored the south seas as per your instructions and found that the sea here was a bit strange, so we explored it and accidentally found this place.”

“Is that so?” Xu Yi turned back to look at the ships in front, but he couldn’t find anything strange with the sea at all, “How far is this place from that place?”

“There’s still at least two hundred kilometers. I don’t think that we can get there by today, unless you want us to travel through the night.”

“Even if you’re not afraid of being tired, I am.” Xu Yi rolled his eyes at Leslie. He looked around and pointed at a small island in front, “If that place is satisfactory, we can consider setting up a foothold there.”

Leslie looked at the two islands and shook his head, “Those two islands are too small, people can’t live there, so it won’t work. With my experience, with how small those two islands are, they could be swallowed by the waves at any time, so people can’t stay there.”

“I’m not saying that people will live there, we’ll just leave a magic signal tower there.” Xu Yi said, “To put it simply, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce should lay down magic signal towers where we are developing, maintaining the magic communication network.”

Leslie knitted his brows, “Do you need to do this? We’re already quite familiar with this area, so even without this thing, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

“But you still don’t dare sail in the night, right?”

Xu Yi’s question made Leslie speechless.

“With the magic signal tower and having the magic communication network, it guarantees that we can even smoothly sail in the night and will allow us to control the regions. Think about it, we can understand the situation here no matter what the time is, don’t you feel more confident?”

“It would be good if we could do this, but can we do this?” Leslie had a doubtful look, “Xu Yi, I’ve never understood it, why are you investing this much in the magic communication network? Is this thing really that powerful?”

Xu Yi pointed at Leslie’s waist, “If nothing else, you’ll be able to talk to your miss Whitney, don’t you think that it’s powerful?”

Leslie’s face that had already turned dark from being on the sea had a blush on it. He gave a cough and awkwardly said, “Your idea isn’t realistic. Didn’t you say that the range of each magic signal tower is only five kilometers? But there’s no islands within five kilometers of this island. Even if you built a magic signal tower here, the magic signal wouldn’t reach.”

“Who told you that a magic signal tower couldn’t be built here?” Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him, like he was saying you didn’t understand anything.

“Then tell me, how will you solve this problem?” Leslie asked back.

“This……There’s no way now, but there are many tentative solutions to this problem in my mind, so it’s not a problem.” Xu Yi waved his hand as he said this in a confident voice.

Leslie rolled his eyes, “Just say that you don’t have a way yet, you made me waste all this time talking to you.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh and patted Leslie’s shoulder, “Alright, since you feel that it is a waste of time, let’s change the topic. When are you planning on getting married to miss Whitney?”

This miss Whitney was a young girl who Leslie had saved when he had defeated pirates that had been attacking a boat on the Candra Empire’s southern seas.

She was from a small noble family in a small city in a middle province of the Candra Empire, having a beautiful face and gentle disposition. Although she was quite good, she wasn’t considered outstanding among noble young misses.

But without knowing why, after Leslie spent some time with her, this fellow who hadn’t fallen for anyone after being with the noble young misses of the Lampuri Kingdom for ten years had fallen for this miss Whitney.
