Volume 6 Chapter 80 Heading to the northern seas
The leaves on the trees were becoming greener, which meant that the season was about to enter summer.
Just like last year, when summer came each year, there would be an increase in the sales of household magic machines.
Among them were the Magic Fans, the Magic Refrigerators, the Magic Air Conditioners, and the other household magic machines that could keep people cool during summer.
Different from last year, the household magic machines produced by the Lampuri Kingdom and the kingdoms around them no longer only stayed in the southwest countries, but rather headed towards the Marlow Empire, the Candra Empire, and even further countries.
Since the war between the Rudson Kingdom and the Candra Empire, all the countries on the continent knew about the strange and new military magic machines.
Along with this, other than learning about the military magic machines, they also learned about the household magic machines.
And among the various household magic machines, what the normal people cared about most were the household magic machines that could improve their lives.
So after the Candra Empire signed the trade agreement with the Lampuri Kingdom, opening up their market to them, there was nothing stopping these large amounts of household magic machines from entering this giant empire.
As for the Marlow Empire, there were no barriers to begin with.
Because the Marquis Southgate had already signed a cooperation with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the companies from the Lampuri Kingdom, allowing the Marlow Empire citizens to get the household magic machines sooner than the Candra Empire citizens.
Compared to the Candra Empire, the Marlow Empire’s only disadvantage was that they were in the far north. This was a great distance from the bases of these household magic machine companies in the southwest corner of the continent.
And the Marlow Empire had reacted quite quickly to this problem.
Less than half a month after the Marlow Empire’s delegate went back, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce received a proposition from the Marlow Empire. They hoped the Amrit Chamber of Commerce could enter the Marlow Empire and help the Marlow Empire build roads.
At the same time, they also wanted the Amrit Chamber of Commerce to connect the Marlow Empire’s road network to the network of the southwest countries by connecting it to the Falk Kingdom road network. That would create a smooth channel between the Marlow Empire and the southwest countries.
The Amrit Chamber of Commerce naturally happily accepted this.
The land of the Marlow Empire was even greater than the land the countries in the southwest had, so if they could build all those roads, the benefits would be hard to imagine.
After signing the preliminary agreement, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce immediately sent out a team to scout the Marlow Empire’s terrain, making preparations for building the roads.
Moreover, as for the road they built in the Marlow Empire’s southwest province, because of this agreement, they would star expanding it.
If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to build a road right to the Marlow Empire’s capital Angelo City by next year.
This road would be over two thousand kilometer long and it could be considered the longest continuous road built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce to date.
According to what chairman Cruise said before, this wasn’t just an opportunity for the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, it was also a challenge.
If they could build this road that was not only long and complicated, it would be considered a very big improvement for the entire Amrit Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi didn’t find this that important. As a person who transmigrated from earth, the current road the Amrit Chamber of Commerce made was only considered the lowest grade of road to him.
Not to mention those tall highways that spanned over cities, it was even worse than a normal cross country highway.
The Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s road paving technology was still too immature.
But he didn’t have time to pay attention to the challenges of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was undergoing an even greater challenge.

Xu Yi looked up at the sky and found that it was completely clear with bright sunlight falling down.
Looking down at the sea in the distance, he found that there were barely any waves and it could be considered very calm.
“Un, very good.” Xu Yi gave a satisfied nod, “It seems like it’s a good day to set sail today.”
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet captain Narvil gave a laugh, “Of course, I already picked this day a long time ago because I knew that it would be calm.”
“Oh? Then you can guarantee that it will be calm every day on the sea?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Narvil immediately waved his hand, “Sir chairman, please stop joking. The situation on the sea is very complicated, it might be calm one second and then a storm might appear the next, we’ve already tasted the difficulties of the sea before.”
“That was what you met on the southern seas, do you think it’ll be the same if you head north?” Xu Yi asked.
“This…..” Narvil turned to look at the seas to the north of the Black Rice Harbour and after thinking for a bit, he shook his head, “I’m not certain, but sir chairman, I believe that with my many years of experience on the sea, even if we’re taking a new route, there definitely won’t be any problems. Of course, the more important thing is that we have the best boat in the world. As long as we have it, we don’t have to worry at all!”
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and patted Narvil’s shoulder, “It’ll depend on your confidence then. The first trip to the Marlow Empire will have to depend on you then.”
Narvil gave Xu Yi a salute and said with a serious look, “Sir chairman, please be assured. I will definitely complete this mission!”
