Chapter 147 Identity Issues

The escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the two magic airships led by Xu Yi who left Yala Port did not return the same way, but went all the way south. ↖,

The frigate started at the highest speed, and the magic airship followed at high altitude, maintaining a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It set off from the port of Yala in the early morning and sailed non-stop until dusk. It has entered the deep sea part of the endless sea of ​​more than 400 kilometers .

Xu Yi poked his head out of the ship's side, looked at the sea below, and found that the gap between the sea here and the offshore part was not particularly obvious, and he could still vaguely see a trace of the seabed under the sea. When he raised his head again, he could still see There are several small pocket islands floating on the sea in the distance.

"Hey, Leslie, how did you find this place?" Xu Yi turned to Leslie beside him and asked.

"Most of it is unintentional, and a small part is intentional." Leslie pointed to the sea. "Didn't you just observe the sea surface? Obviously, there is not much difference between the sea surface and the offshore part here?"

"Well. This phenomenon indicates that this place is still within the scope of the continental shelf, which means that there may still be a large area of ​​land nearby."

"I don't know what the continental shelf is, but the sailors in the fleet know what this phenomenon probably means. At first, we just followed your suggestion to explore the southern waters. After discovering that this sea area is a bit weird, we explored it all the way, and then There was a windfall."

"Really?" Xu Yi turned his head again and glanced at the front of the fleet, but he didn't see anything unusual outside the vast sea. "How far is it from here to that place?"

"There are at least two hundred kilometers left. In short, it is impossible to get there today, unless you plan to let us continue sailing at night."

"You are not afraid of getting lost, but I am." Xu Yi gave Leslie a white look. Look around. Pointing to the two small pocket islands in the distance, he said, "If the inspection of that place is satisfactory. We must consider setting up a stronghold along the way."

Leslie glanced at the two small islands and shook his head: "These two islands are too small for people to live on, of course not. And based on my experience, these two small islands are so small that they may It is possible to be directly submerged by sea water, and no one can stay on it.”

"I didn't say to keep people on it, but I just planned to set up a magic signal tower on it." Xu Yi said. "To put it simply. Wherever our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develops, we should lay magic signal towers there to ensure that the magic network can cover it."

Leslie frowned: "Is this necessary? We are already quite familiar with this sea area. Even without this thing, it should be fine."

"But you still dare not fly at night, don't you?"

Xu Yi's question left Leslie speechless.

"Establishing the magic power signal tower and laying the magic power network can not only ensure the smooth night flight, but also make this area truly under our control. Think about it, we can clearly grasp the wind and grass here at any time , don't you think you will be very sure in your heart?"

"Of course it can be done like this. But is it possible?" Leslie looked suspicious. "Xu Yi, I've never been able to figure it out. Why are you so devoted to the establishment of this magical network? Is this thing so powerful?"

Xu Yi pointed to Leslie's waist: "Don't say anything else, do you think it's strong for you to be able to talk to your Miss Winiton right here?"

Leslie's face, which had been darkened by the sea breeze for a long time, was rarely flushed with redness, coughed lightly, and said in embarrassment: "Your idea is not realistic at all. Didn't you say that the magic power signal tower is effective? Is the range only five kilometers? But within five kilometers, there is no second island at all. Even if you set up a magic power signal tower here, the magic power fluctuation signal will still be cut off."

"Who told you that you can't build a magic power signal tower without a small island?" Xu Yi gave him a blank look, with an expression that you don't understand anything.

"So tell me how to solve this problem?" Leslie asked back.

"Well... there is no specific solution for the time being, but I already have countless ideas in my mind that can solve this problem, so this is not a problem." Xu Yi waved his hand and said confidently.

Leslie rolled his eyes: "To put it bluntly, there's nothing I can do. It's a pity that I wasted time chatting with you here for a long time."

Xu Yi laughed, patted Leslie on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay, since you think it's a waste of time to talk about it, let's change the subject and talk about it. When do you plan to marry Miss Winaton?"

This Miss Winiton was a young girl that Leslie accidentally rescued from a merchant ship being attacked by pirates while cruising in the southern waters of the Candela Empire.

She was born in a small noble family in a small town in the central province of the Kandela Empire. She has a beautiful face and a gentle temperament.

But for some reason, after Leslie got along with her for a period of time, this guy who had been dealing with various noble ladies and ladies in the Lampari Kingdom for ten years without falling was really attracted by Miss Winiton.

And this Miss Winiton is also attracted by Leslie, and the two can be regarded as sympathetic.

It's just that Leslie frowned when asked about marrying Miss Winiton.

Although he and Miss Winiton are in love with each other, they face various obstacles in order to truly combine.

One of the biggest obstacles is his identity.

If it was Leslie a few years ago, then as the heir to the Stark family, the largest nobleman in the Lampari Kingdom, he would certainly be qualified to marry Miss Winiton, a girl from an ordinary nobleman in the Candela Empire. , It can even be said that Miss Winiton has climbed high.

But now time has passed, the Stark family has become history in the Lampari Kingdom, and Leslie is even nominally a wanted person in Lampari, and he can't even go back to the Lampari Kingdom.

Seriously, Leslie doesn't even have an official identity at the moment.

The only thing that can be said is probably his current status as the commander of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, no matter how powerful the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is, even the Kandela Empire Navy is extremely afraid of it, but in name it is only under the name of a mere chamber of commerce escort fleet, and it is completely useless on the continent of Sainz. identity of.

What's more, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not considered a super-first-class chamber of commerce in the mainland at all. He, the so-called commander of the escort fleet, does not have any weight.

The Candela Empire is one of the two major empires on the mainland, and the nobles in it already have a sense of superiority over the nobles of other countries, let alone facing a dilapidated noble like Leslie from a small country like the Lampari Kingdom.

So even though Miss Winiton fell in love with Leslie more because of what happened to Leslie, her family strongly opposed it, so that it was actually difficult for the two of them to meet each other now, and they could only rely on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Correspondence with some private relationships in the Candela Empire.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yi came to ask Leslie when she would marry Miss Winiton, which was simply embarrassing Leslie on purpose.

So Leslie looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, with some doubts.

He had known Xu Yi for such a long time, so of course he would not think that Xu Yi would embarrass him on purpose. Since he asked this question, he must have other considerations.

Seeing the look on Leslie's face, Xu Yi knew that he understood what he meant. He laughed, put his arms around Leslie's shoulders, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Leslie, have you ever thought about revitalizing your Sis? What about the Tucker family?"

Leslie frowned: "Of course I thought about it. But Xu Yi, why shouldn't you ask this question?"

If the reason why the Stark family will be destroyed is because they participated in the civil strife in the Lampari Kingdom and eventually failed, then the culprit that caused their failure is actually the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce led by Xu Yi.

If it wasn't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's strong support for Her Royal Highness Seweni at that time, providing her with a large number of military magic machines, and the military department under her name has greatly improved its combat effectiveness, then it is still difficult to predict what the final situation in the Kingdom of Lampari will be.

So if you really want to care about it, Xu Yi can actually be regarded as the big enemy of the Stark family.

Of course, Leslie originally did not agree with the Stark family's political views, so he has always been at odds with the family, so he never blamed Xu Yi for the family's demise.

But now Xu Yi asked him if he would like to revive the Stark family, but it still made Leslie feel extremely weird.

"Don't care about these details." Xu Yi waved his hand. "I just ask you, if you are given a chance to control a large piece of land and re-develop your Stark family into a prosperous big family, are you interested? You know, only when you become like this can you get The approval of Miss Winiton's family, let them truly accept you."

Leslie stared at Xu Yi inexplicably for a while, then shook his head: "I said Xu Yi, what's wrong with you today? If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly, why are you beating around the bush?"

"Cough...Because this matter is of great importance and has a great impact on you, so I have to find out your mind before asking you."

Leslie shook his hands angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, just say it."

"That's good." Xu Yi smiled, then with a serious expression on his face, he pointed to the front of the sea where the fleet was sailing, and asked seriously: "Leslie, if I ask you to open up overseas colonies for our chamber of commerce, would you like to?" Willing?" (To be continued...)
