Chapter 43: A New Huge Market

Xu Yi blinked.

If he had heard the news before he had met Kassandra, he would have been very surprised.

However, he had been talking to Kassandra for a long time just now, and there was naturally nothing to be excited about when he heard the news again.

"This guy from Noval...... He knew that the illusion projection module had been brought by Kassandra's dragon......"

Xu Yi muttered and continued to read.

Through Noval's description in the vision, Xu Yi finally got a rough idea of what the situation was.

The ocean-going exploration fleet led by Noval arrived on the dragon-inhabited island about four months ago, and before that, they had basically traveled westward in the endless sea, exploring countless islands along the way, and even encountering local human natives on a few islands, but nothing worth noting.

When they arrived on the island and spotted the legendary dragons on the island, they shocked everyone.

However, to their surprise, the dragons who looked vicious in appearance were not as vicious as the legend said, but showed a strong interest in them and communicated with them very friendly.

After a month of interacting with each other, the fleet learned a lot of things that they didn't know before through the help of these dragons.

For example, there are several continents in this world, for example, the closest to this island is the Demon Cloud Continent, for example, the dwarf tribes on the Demon Cloud Continent run everywhere, such as ......

After obtaining this basic information, Noval determined that the fleet would go to the Demon Cloud Continent to explore next.

However, he felt that the information he had obtained was extremely valuable, and he needed to report it to the elders first.

And when Novar was thinking about how to send people back to report. One of the dragons they met offered to recommend himself. Willing to do it for them.

The vitality of the dragon clan is extremely strong. It's no problem to even be able to maintain a flight posture at full speed for up to a month, and the flight speed is a little faster than that of a magic airship, so if the dragons do this, then it will definitely save a lot of time.

"Your Excellency, considering the existence of phantom projection technology, I think it should be acceptable to report to you in this way. In addition, it would be more convincing if the dragon came to deliver the letter in person, so I agreed to her suggestion. When you see this vision. I believe I've seen Kassandra in person and should have spoken to her. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This Noval has no problem as the commander of the fleet, but the old problem of always mixing nonsense every time he makes a report has not changed at all, and he must be trained well when he returns.

But there is also something strange about it.

According to what Noval said in this vision, Kassandra must have set out about three months ago.

However, in terms of the flight speed of the dragons, which even exceeds the flight speed of the magic airship, the distance of 10,000 kilometers is not particularly far, why is Kassandra so slow?

"According to the dragons' descriptions, the Demon Cloud Continent is less than a thousand kilometers away from the nearest landing point on this island, so I decided to explore the unknown Demon Cloud Continent before exploring it. It's best to set up a base around here now as a garrison, so that we can explore and have a place to evacuate when the disadvantage is unfavorable. ”

Hear this from Noval. Xu Yi nodded lightly in approval.

Noval's consideration can be said to be very cautious, but for their fleet, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to be too cautious, and he is undoubtedly right to do so.

According to Noval's plan, the ocean exploration fleet will first exclude a preliminary exploration fleet composed of a few ships and a small number of personnel to go to the Demon Cloud Continent for preliminary exploration, and the rest of the personnel and fleet will find a large island with a good living environment near the island inhabited by the dragons and start to build a base.

What Kassandra said just now that "the fleet needs help" is actually a reinforcement in terms of manpower and material proposed by Noval.

"Elder, with the good relationship we have established between us and the Dragon Clan now, as long as the base on this island is completed, we will gain a solid base outside the Demon Cloud Continent, laying a good foundation for our Chamber of Commerce to officially enter the Demon Cloud Continent in the future. The subordinates believe that we should continue to increase our investment here, and at the same time, we have also discovered the demand for certain special products from the dragons in our interactions with the dragons......"

###

"Lord, this is a good opportunity!" Kennard slapped his face on the table, looking at Xu Yi with blazing eyes, his expression full of excitement. "This is a completely new continent! It means a new and huge market! If our chamber of commerce can fully control this market, it means that our chamber of commerce will gain unimaginably huge space for development!"

"Don't get excited. Xu Yi raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Kennard to calm down first. "Now there are two problems. First, the reality of this illusion is uncertain. ”

Kennard was stunned: "Elder, are you ...... Suspicious of Noval?"

"I can't be sure if the vision itself is real. Xu Yi glanced at him. "You should know that the principle of illusion is to use illusion circles to compose. This means that there is a possibility of creating false illusions directly. ”

"But the Novar in this illusion is so real that I don't think a direct forgery can reach that level. Kennard said.

"Yes. So there is another possibility, that Noval himself was manipulated. Of course, this is just my assumption, and the reason is that this time Norval did not send back a subordinate, but only let Kassandra, the dragon, come back to report the news, which is unconscionable. "Hmm......" Kennard muttered for a moment, nodding slightly. "It really doesn't make sense. Noval should not be unaware of this. ”

"The second question is, even if this illusion is true, to what extent should we provide the appropriate support?"

"Well...... this"

Kennard had been thinking for a lot longer this time.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he replied in an affirmative tone: "Do our best as possible! The reason why our Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the past few years is entirely because the magic industry market on the Sainz continent is completely blank, so we have taken the lead, and of course it is developing quickly. ”

"But with the increasing attention of other countries on the continent to the magic industry, it is no longer possible for our Chamber of Commerce to monopolize all markets as before. So from now on, looking for new markets is the most important thing for us to consider. And if the news that this dragon has brought back is true, then it means that she has brought us a huge new market. If we don't take advantage of it, it's suicide!"

Looking at Kennard, who looked excited, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that Kennard was a real businessman.

And the perspective of his own consideration is slightly different from his.

"But Kennard, now that we know the news, it is certainly impossible to hide it from the others. Sooner or later, other people and other countries will know that there is one or even several continents beyond the Sainz continent, don't you think they will be able to think of this problem?"

"What do they want?" Kennard snorted, confident in his tone. "At present, only our new flying chamber has a magic ship that can sail to the ocean, even if they know that there are other continents outside of the Sainz continent, but without the support of the magic ship, they can't go at all. ”

"Have you forgotten that the main body of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still on the Sainz continent, and it is impossible to completely abandon them. Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "Of course, I agree with you. A new continent means a new market. Regardless of the approach, we must make good use of this opportunity. Hmmm......"

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, took a piece of paper, drew a circle on it, marked the Sainz Continent, and then extended a long line to the left, dotted a dot, and wrote Noval, and then extended a section to the left, and then drew a circle to mark the Demon Cloud Continent.

"Now we need to confirm the authenticity of this information. Xu Yi nodded at the dot that marked Noval. "Then, based on the actual situation, decide how to run the outpost. In the meantime...... "

Xu Yi clicked on the line again, and then frowned.

"The biggest problem right now is communication. Both the island and the Demon Cloud Continent were too far away from here, and it would take a very long time to transmit any information, and it would probably take at least a month to make a round trip. That's a long time, enough to make a lot of things completely different. ”

Kennard looked at the dense dots that Xu Yi had pointed out on that line, and frowned, "Lord Grower, don't you want to build magic signal towers like this, right? This kind of investment is too terrible, even our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can't afford it." And...... I'm afraid the environment of the endless sea doesn't allow it either. ”

"Well, so now that's a big problem. Xu Yi clicked a few more times on the paper and gave up thinking about this question. "Forget it, the communication problem can only be solved later, and now we should think about how to confirm the authenticity of this news. Kennard, I ask you to make a detailed plan immediately. Once you decide to send reinforcements, I need you to be able to assemble a fleet with enough strength in the shortest possible time. ”

"No problem!" Kennard replied without hesitation. Then his expression moved, and he asked again, "By the way, Lord Lord." That dragon said that there are several continents beyond the Demon Cloud Continent, should we explore the other continents again?"

"Don't try to become fat in one bite. Xu Yi reprimanded. "The most important thing is that the current strength of our chamber of commerce is not enough to support so many lines to explore at the same time. ”

Kennard blinked, only sighing. (To be continued......)
