Chapter 80: Heading for the Northern Seas

The leaves on the trees gradually turn dark green, indicating that the season is beginning to move towards the hot summer.

As in previous years, the early summer season of each year is a time when the sales of various household magic machines soar.

Among them, there are magic fans, magic refrigerators, magic air conditioners, and so on, which can bring people cool in the summer.

What is different from previous years is that this year, these household magic machines produced by several magic machinery chambers in the Lampari Kingdom and several surrounding countries no longer continue to live desperately in these countries in the southwest corner of the continent, but flock to the Maro Empire, the Candela Empire, and even other countries further afield.

Since the war between the Ruerson Kingdom and the Candela Empire, all the countries in the continent of Sainz have known about the magical item of military magic machinery.

By the way, I also know that in addition to military magic machinery, there is also the concept of civilian magic machinery.

Among the various civil magic machines, the most concerned by the vast majority of ordinary people is, of course, these household magic machines that are closest to life.

Therefore, when the Candela Empire and the Lampari Kingdom signed a mutual trade agreement to open their domestic markets to the Lampari Kingdom, there was nothing to stop these household magic machines from pouring into this vast empire.

As for the Maro Empire, there were no obstacles from the beginning.

Because the Marquis of Southgate has long cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several magical machinery chambers in the Lampari Kingdom, on the contrary, the people in the Marlo Empire have accepted the existence of domestic magic machinery earlier than the Candela Empire.

Compared to the Candela Empire, the only disadvantage for the Maro Empire. It is that they are located in the north of the continent. It is far away from the southwest corner of the continent where the main base of the current Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce is located.

And for this question. The response from the Maro Empire was not insignificant.

Only half a month after the representatives of the military department of the Maro Empire returned, the Amrley Chamber of Commerce received a cooperation agreement proposed by the Maro Empire, hoping that the Amrley Chamber of Commerce would enter the Maro Empire and assist in the construction of several roads in the Maro Empire.

At the same time, they also hoped that the Amrri Chamber of Commerce would be able to connect the road transportation network within the Maro Empire with the road transportation network that has now connected several countries in the southwest corner of the continent and the Falk Kingdom adjacent to the Maro Empire, creating a convenient passage that can connect the Maro Empire and the Lampari Kingdom and other countries.

The Amritra Chamber of Commerce is of course gladly receptive.

The Maro Empire is even much larger than the countries in the southwest corner combined, and if it can fully contract the road paving in it. The benefits from that are unimaginable.

Almost immediately after the signing of the preliminary agreement, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce sent a geological exploration team to the Maro Empire to prepare for the upcoming road paving.

Moreover, the road that was previously laid in the southwestern province of the Maro Empire also began to be expanded because of the signing of this agreement.

If nothing else, a road to Anglo, the capital of the Marlow Empire, could be built within the next year.

The total length of this road is expected to exceed 2,000 kilometers, which can be said to be the longest road laid by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce at one time.

According to President Crews, this is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Amritra Chamber of Commerce.

If this long-term, complex and changeable highway can be successfully paved. That's a huge boost for the entire Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi didn't attach that much importance to this, as a person who traveled from the earth. He had always thought that the roads built by the Amritri Chamber of Commerce were the lowest level on earth.

Not to mention that compared to those expensive highways, even compared to ordinary national highways, it is still a lot worse.

The road to road paving for the Amrley Chamber of Commerce is still very early.

However, he didn't have much time to pay attention to the challenges faced by the Amritra Chamber of Commerce, as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was currently facing even more difficult challenges.

Xu Yi looked up at the sky and found that the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly today.

Looking down at the sea in the distance, I found that the sea surface was slightly rolled by the waves, which could almost be regarded as calm and waveless.

"Well, that's good. Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that today is a good day to go to sea. ”

Neval, the head of the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the side, smiled: "Of course, we have already chosen a good day, and we know that today will definitely be set for today." ”

"Oh, can you guarantee that every day will be calm after going to sea?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Neval immediately waved his hand: "Elder, you are laughing. The situation at sea is complicated, and if it is calm one minute, and the next minute it will be stormy, and we have already suffered enough. ”

"These situations are all encountered in the southern seas, do you think that if you go north, the endless sea will still look the same?" Xu Yi asked again.

"This ......" Neval turned his head to look at the endless sea north of the port of Heimi, muttered for a moment, and shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure. But my lord, I believe that with our many years of experience at sea, even if we take a new course this time, there will be absolutely no problems. Of course, what is more important is that we have the best sea boats in the world. As long as we ride it, we won't have the slightest worry at all!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, patted Neval's shoulder and said, "It's because of your self-confidence, so this mission of sending an ocean transport fleet to the Maro Empire for the first time will be placed on you." ”

Neval snapped, saluted Xu Yi, and said, "Elder, please rest assured, I will definitely complete this task excellently!"

Seeing his stern face, Xu Yi slowly shook his head.

"I don't need you to put on such a desperate face to complete the mission. Remember, this voyage is just an exploration, and it's good to succeed. In case something goes wrong. It really can't go on. Then your first choice is not to fight to the death and continue, but to bring people back safely for me. Do you see what I mean?"

Neval was stunned, took a serious look at the expression on Xu Yi's face, and saw that his face was solemn, and asked with some hesitation: "That...... Grown, if something really goes wrong, don't you even want the goods?"

"Nonsense! Is the goods important or the people important?" Xu Yi reprimanded. "Remember, if you lose something, you can rebuild it. If you lose someone, you can't get it back. Compared to these goods, you people are much more important. I asked you to go this time to open up a route, not to send you to death. ”

"Oh...... I see......" Neval nodded slightly. "Well, Lord Grown, I will do my best to complete the task - on the basis of keeping everyone safe, of course. ”

"It's good to understand. Xu Yi nodded. "For the sake of your smooth passage this time, I also specially arranged for you to travel with two magic airships, just in case of an emergency, so that you can have more flexible choices. Remember, keep in touch with the commanders of these two magic airships to avoid accidents. ”

"I understand that. Please rest assured that you will grow up. ”

"Alright, let's get ready. Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder again. Motioned for him to leave on his own.

Neval saluted Xu Yi and turned back to a large cargo magic steamer that had docked at the port of Heimi.

At this time, a total of three large cargo magic ships, ten magic frigates, and two magic airships were docked in the port of Heimi.

When Neval is ready, two magic airships will fly to the large cargo magic steamer and follow them to the north.

The destination of this fleet is the northern seaport of the Maro Empire.

The purpose of this voyage for the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not only to transport a batch of military and civilian magic machinery ordered by the Maro Empire from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but also to shoulder the important task of opening up shipping routes.

Before that, no fleet would have attempted to make such a voyage.

Because even according to the roughest map of the Sainz continent, if you want to sail from the port of Heimi in the southwest of the Sainz continent to the port in the north of the Maro Empire, the distance to sail in between is at least more than 5,000 kilometers.

Such a terrifying distance, no sea ship has been able to reach it safely before.

And even if the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has already departed from the Duchy of Stantin many times and crossed more than 3,000 kilometers to reach the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm, which is located in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent, it still cannot compare with this voyage.

In addition to the fact that the distance is two thousand kilometers longer, the more important question is that sailing to the north and sailing to the south are not at all the same thing.

The Endless Sea in the South is changeable, but the Endless Sea in the North doesn't know exactly how it changes.

Inexperience means a lot of unknown dangers.

Moreover, according to some information provided by the Maro Empire, the northern seas will be frozen for almost half of the year, and the only time that can be used for sea navigation is the short period of four or five months from early summer to early autumn every year.

According to the sailing speed of the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, even if it is normal, it will take more than half a month to make a round trip.

Add in the stopovers and the time it takes to load and unload the cargo upon arrival, and a full sea freight can take at least a month.

In the event of an accident, the time is even more incalculable.

Because there are too many unpredictable dangers along the way, and because this is the first attempt by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to get in direct contact with the Maro Empire to transport goods, Xu also attaches great importance to this.

Not only did he prepare the most experienced manpower for this fleet, but he even specially allocated two magic airships as help.

With as many as three hundred heavily armed New Flyers on this fleet, as long as they don't encounter a particularly powerful natural disaster, there should be no danger that can pose a threat to them along the way.

About half an hour later, the fleet was ready.

Xu Yi did not listen to Neval's advice and boarded the large cargo magic steamer to give a speech, because he did not want to make the ocean voyage too solemn and increase the pressure on the crew on board.

As he said to Neval before, talent is the most important thing.

Even if this voyage fails, it's a big deal to come back next time.

And when people are gone, these talents with rich experience in ocean navigation are difficult to find.

As soon as Qiē was ready, the large cargo magic steamer on which Neval was in the lead placed three magic cannons on the surface of the sea as usual, and then set sail slowly.

The rest of the two large cargo magic ships and ten frigates followed, and a total of thirteen huge ships slowly sailed away from the port of Heimi, and then gradually accelerated, and it didn't take long to disappear into the far north of the Endless Sea.

Xu Yizheng, who was staring at the disappearance of the fleet from afar, was calculating in his heart that their current supplies would last for a few days at most, when he suddenly felt the corners of his clothes being pulled.

A crisp little girl's voice came from below.

"Hey, Lord, when will we really start exploring the deepest part of the Endless Sea?" (To be continued......)
