Chapter 147: The Question of Identity

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet and the two magic airships led by Xu Yi did not return the same way, but headed south.

The frigate spread out at its maximum speed, and the magic airship followed at high altitude, maintaining a speed of forty kilometers per hour, departing from Yarra Harbor in the early morning, sailing non-stop until dusk, and had entered the deep sea part of the endless sea of more than 400 kilometers.

Xu Yi poked his head out of the side of the boat, looked at the sea below, and found that the gap between the seaside here and the offshore part is not particularly obvious, and he can still vaguely see a trace of the seabed under the seabed, and when he raises his head, he can also see several small pocket-sized islands suspended on the sea surface in the distance.

"Hey, Leslie, how did you find here?" asked Xu Yi as he turned to Leslie beside him.

"Most of it was unintentional, and half of it was intentional. Leslie pointed to the sea. "Didn't you just observe the surface of the sea? Obviously, the surface of the sea here is not much different from the offshore part, right?"

"Hmm. This indicates that it is still within the continental shelf, which means that there is still a possibility of 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 means. We started out exploring the southern seas as you had you wanted, and when we found the waters a little weird, we explored them all the way, and then we had a windfall. ”

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

"At least two hundred kilometers remaining. Anyway, don't expect to be there today, unless you're going to let us sail at night. ”

"You're not afraid of getting lost, I'm still afraid. Xu Yibai glanced at Leslie. Look left and right. Pointing to the two small islands in the distance, he said, "If the inspection of that place is satisfactory." We have to think about setting up bases along the way. ”

Leslie glanced at the two small islands and shook her head: "These two islands are too small for people to live in, definitely not." And in my experience, these two small islands are so small that they may be directly submerged by the sea at any time, and no one can be left on them. ”

"I didn't say that I would keep people on it, but I was just going to set up a magic signal tower on it. Xu Yidao. "In a nutshell. Wherever we develop the new flying chamber, we should lay the magic signal tower to ensure that the magic network can be covered. ”

Leslie frowned, "Do you need this? We're actually quite familiar with this area, and even if we don't have it, it should be fine." ”

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

Xu Yi's question left Leslie speechless.

"The role of erecting the magic signal tower and laying the magic network can not only ensure the smooth operation of the night flight, but also allow this area to be truly included in our control. Come to think of it, no matter what time we can clearly grasp the wind and grass here, don't you think we will be very sure in our hearts?"

"Of course it's good to be able to do that. But is it possible?" said Leslie, skeptically. "Xu Yi, I haven't understood it. Why are you so invested in this magical network, this thing is so strong?"

Xu Yi pointed to Leslie's waist: "Don't say anything else, so that you can talk to your Miss Wynyton here, do you think it's strong?"

Leslie's face, which had already been blackened by the sea breeze, had a rare trace of irritation, coughed lightly, and said embarrassedly: "This idea of yours is not realistic at all. Didn't you say that the effective range of the Magic Signal Tower was only five kilometers, but there was no second island to be found within five kilometers of this area. Even if you set up a mana tower here, the mana wave signal will still be broken. ”

"Who told you that you can't erect a magic signal tower without an island?" Xu Yi glanced at him, with an expression that you didn't understand anything.

"And how do you sue me to solve this problem?" Leslie asked rhetorically.

"Well...... I don't have a concrete solution yet, but I already have a lot of ideas in my head that can solve this problem, so it's not a problem. Xu Yi waved his hand, full of confidence.

Leslie rolled her eyes: "To put it bluntly, it's not like there's no way, I'm still wasting time with you to idle here for a long time." ”

Xu Yi laughed, patted Leslie on the shoulder and said, "Okay, since you think it's a waste of time to talk about this, let's change the topic and talk about it, when do you plan to marry Miss Wheaton?"

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

She was born into a small aristocratic family in a small town in the central province of the Candela Empire, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, although she was quite good, but if she looked at it alone, she could not be regarded as extremely outstanding among the noble ladies.

But I don't know why, after Leslie got along with her for a while, this guy who had been dealing with various noble ladies and ladies in the Lampari Kingdom for ten years without falling was really attracted to Miss Wyneton.

And this Miss Wynedon is also attracted to Leslie, and the two can be regarded as two lovers.

It was only the question of marrying Miss Wheaton that made Leslie frown.

Although he and Miss Wheaton are in love, they face all kinds of obstacles in order to truly unite.

One of the biggest obstacles is his identity.

If it was Leslie a few years ago, then as the heir of the Stark family, the largest nobleman in the Lampari Kingdom, he was certainly qualified enough to marry Miss Wheaton, a girl from an ordinary small aristocracy in the Candela Empire, and it could even be said that Miss Whitneyton was high.

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

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

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

But no matter how strong the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is, even the Candela Imperial Navy is extremely jealous, but nominally it is only under the name of a mere chamber of commerce escort team, and it is completely uncontrollable on the Sainz continent.

What's more, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a super-first-class chamber of commerce in the mainland at all, and he, the so-called commander of the escort fleet, has no weight.

As one of the two major empires on the mainland, the nobles in the Candela Empire already have a sense of superiority over the nobles of other countries, let alone facing a dilapidated nobleman like Leslie who came from a small country like the Lampari Kingdom.

Therefore, although Miss Wheaton is more inclined to Leslie because of what happened to Leslie, her family is strongly opposed, so that it is actually difficult for the two to even meet now, and can only rely on some private connections within the Candela Empire by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce for correspondence.

In this case, Xu Yi came to ask Leslie when he would marry Miss Wheaton, which was simply deliberately embarrassing Leslie.

So Leslie looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, a little puzzled.

He has known Xu Yi for so long, of course he doesn't think that Xu Yi will deliberately embarrass him, since he asked this question, then there must be other considerations.

Xu Yi saw the look on Leslie's face and knew that he understood what he meant, so he smiled, put his arm around Leslie's shoulder, and lowered his voice slightly: "Leslie, have you ever thought about reviving your Stark 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 fall is because they participated in the civil strife in the Lampari Kingdom and finally failed to guide them, then the culprit of their failure is actually the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce led by Xu Yi.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce strongly supported Her Royal Highness Queen Severny at that time, provided her with a large number of military magic machinery, and greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the military department under her name, it would be difficult to predict what would happen to the shape in the Lampari Kingdom in the end.

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

Of course, Leslie originally disagreed with the Stark family's political ideas, so he had always been at odds with the family, so he never blamed Xu Yi for the family's demise.

But Xu Yi now asks him if he is willing to revive the Stark family, which still makes Leslie feel extremely weird.

"Don't care about the details. Xu Yi waved his hand. "I'm just asking you, would you be interested if you were given a chance to take control of a large piece of land and redevelop your Stark family into a thriving family? ”

Leslie looked at Xu Yi inexplicably for a while, and shook his head: "I said Xu Yi, what's wrong with you today?

"Ahem...... Because this matter is really important, and it has a great impact on you, I must first find out your mind before I ask you. ”

Leslie shook his hand in annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense, just say it directly." ”

"Oh well. Xu Yi smiled, then his face was solemn, and he pointed to the front of the sea where the fleet was sailing, and asked, "Leslie, if I asked you to open up overseas colonies for our Chamber of Commerce, would you be willing?" (To be continued......)
