Volume 7 Chapter 28 - Girl Talented In Magic (1/2)

“Hu.”

Xu Yi let out a soft breath and there was a white mist that appeared in the air.

This year’s winter was colder than previous years.

In the beginning of the year in the past, the countries of the Sines Continent would fall into deep winter. For a northern place like the Marlow Empire, its most northern part was covered in snow and didn’t have any footprints.

But for a southern place like the Stantine Duchy, the weather was quite warm most of the year and it wouldn’t be that cold when it came to winter.

Not to mention snow, even breaths condensing in the air was something that was rarely seen.

Looking up at the distant broad sea, Xu Yi slightly knitted his brows.

The transport fleet setting out for the Marlow Empire’s northern point had set out last month. According to the plan, because they were stopping at several countries along the coast, they would only arrive in the Marlow Empire next spring.

The reason for such a long travel time was to deepen relations with the countries along the way, as well as promoting the magic machine industry and evaluating the magic machine industries set up in a few of the countries, so it would mean spending at least a month in each country.

According to the plan, the fleet should be in the Antila Kingdom that was to the north of the Sack Kingdom.

Based on past experience, the sea of the Antila Kingdom shouldn’t be frozen in this season, but this year’s winter was colder than normal. The Antila Kingdom should be colder than normal that might make the water freeze, delaying the schedule of the northern transport fleet.

But thinking about it, there hadn’t been a single report from the northern transport fleet to headquarters that there were any incidents. That meant that it should be going smoothly and there shouldn’t be any problems.

What Xu Yi was really worried about was the unknown open sea exploration fleet.

Since they set out, it had already been half a year. According to the travel speed of the open sea exploration fleet, they should be over ten thousand kilometers away, so naturally they couldn’t maintain communications.

Although the conditions of the transport fleet were far better than that of Magellan’s fleet from earth, any kind of accidents could happen on the open seas, so it couldn’t be avoided even if they had better conditions.

Because of their lack of communication, even if Xu Yi was worried, he couldn’t do a thing and let nature take its course.

Thinking about this, Xu Yi couldn’t help looking at the sky above him.

On earth, because of the invention of communication satellites, people on earth had been able to establish a real long range communication network and could even use the satellites for tracking.

If it was a fleet on earth, they just needed a satellite communication system and people could easily contact them, so there wouldn\\\'t be any worries.

On the Sines Continent though, not to mention communications of over ten thousand kilometers, even communications of a thousand kilometers was only limited to the southwest corner where the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had built magic signal towers.

But he could solve the communication problem on the continent by promoting the magic signal tower and building a complete magic communication network, but what about the endless seas?

On this continent, could he solve the problem using something like a satellite like on earth?

Xu Yi knitted his brows and thought about all the magic knowledge in his mind, carefully searching for any possibilities.

“Dad, look, look!”

When he was thinking, there was a young girl’s voice that suddenly came from in front of Xu Yi and cut through his thoughts.

Xu Yi looked over and revealed a happy smile.

“Hei, Freya, what do you want me to see?”

Freya was already twelve years old and because she had the genes of Xu Yi who was from the Orient on earth, she developed later compared to other girls on the continent. However, she had already entered puberty now and had finished developing. She was not only one meter and sixty centimeters, reaching Xu Yi’s chin, her figure had already started growing and she was a big girl now.

Adding in the fact that she had almost perfectly inherited Still’s beauty, her features had already started developing since she was young and she was very beautiful. She was just like the mixed race beauties that Xu Yi had seen before on earth.

People that saw her couldn’t help praising her. Perhaps when she grew up, she might not even lose to Still when it came to beauty.

“Look at this!” Freya had a proud smile on her face as she placed her right hand in a fist in front of Xu Yi.

“Oh? What good thing are you hiding?” Xu Yi looked at her fist with a smile, deliberately thinking for a bit before opening his hand, “I know! You must have caught some bug from somewhere, right?”

Freya had always been an active girl and had an open personality, so she was sometimes just as mischievous as a boy.
