"Whew-"

Xu Yi exhaled lightly, and a cloud of white mist instantly condensed in the air.

This year's winter has been a little colder than usual.

In the past, at the beginning of each new year, most of the other countries on the continent of Sainz would be plunged into the bitter cold of winter, and countries like the Maro Empire, which is located in the north of the continent, are even completely covered in ice and snow, and it is difficult to find people.

However, because the Duchy of Stantin is located in the southwest of the continent, the climate is warm and humid all year round, and it is generally not cold even in winter.

Not to mention that you can't see snow at all, it's almost impossible to turn into a cold fog when you breathe like this now.

Looking up at the vast endless sea in the distance, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

The Northern Transport Fleet, which ends in the Maro Empire, departed last month, and according to the plan, it will stop in several coastal countries along the way, so it will finally arrive in the early spring of next year.

The reason why this trip is so long is mainly to deepen exchanges with several countries along the way, and at the same time to further estimate and determine the conditions for them to promote the magic industry system, so they will stay in several countries for at least a month.

According to the plan, the fleet should have stopped at the Kingdom of Angela to the north of the Kingdom of Sark.

Judging from past experience, the sea area of the Angela Kingdom is not frozen in this season, but this year's winter is obviously colder than in previous years, so it is not possible that the sea area of the Angela Kingdom will be even colder now, and it may freeze because of this, thus delaying the trip of the northern transport fleet.

But think about it. Until now, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce has not received any unusual reports of blocked trips to the Northern Transport Fleet. That proves that they're at least going well so far. Nothing went wrong.

What really worries Xu Yi is the ocean-going exploration fleet that he doesn't even know where he has gone.

Nearly half a year has passed since the departure of this ocean-going exploration fleet, and according to the sailing speed of the ocean-going exploration fleet, it has already reached a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers, and it is naturally impossible to send back communications at any time to keep in touch.

Although the conditions of the ocean-going fleet far exceed those of Magellan's fleet on the globe on earth, any accident can occur in the vast and endless seas, and no matter how good the conditions are, it is impossible to completely avoid them.

And because there is no communication condition at all. So even if Xu Yi was worried, he had no choice but to resign himself to fate.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but look up at the sky above his head.

On the earth, because of the invention and promotion of communication satellite technology, people on the earth can finally carry out real ultra-long-distance communication through satellite communication, and even direct positioning.

If it is a fleet on Earth, it only needs to be equipped with a satellite positioning system, and others can easily get in touch with them without worrying about it.

And on this continent of Sainz. Not to mention ultra-long-distance communication of more than 10,000 kilometers, even if it is communication of more than 1,000 kilometers. At present, it can only be limited to the southwest corner of the continent, which has been covered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's basic magic signal tower.

But to solve the communication problem on land, it can also be solved by promoting magic signal towers and building a complete magic communication network, but what about the endless sea?

On this continent, can we also come up with something like a communication satellite to solve this problem?

Xu Yi frowned, went through all kinds of magical knowledge in his mind, and carefully pondered whether there was such a possibility.

"Daddy, look at you!"

While he was thinking, a crisp girl's voice suddenly sounded in front of Xu Yi, interrupting his train of thought.

Xu Yiding looked at it and suddenly showed a happy smile.

"Hey, Freya, what do you want me to see?"

Freya is twelve years old this year, perhaps because of the fusion of Xu Yi's Oriental genes on the earth, she has developed a little later than most of the girls on the Ens Continent, but now she has still entered puberty and completed her initial development, not only is she more than one meter six, she can be on the same level as Xu Yi's chin, and her figure has basically grown up, and she has become a big girl.

In addition, she inherited Steele's appearance almost perfectly, and at a young age, she appeared to be well-defined and beautiful, with almost all the advantages and beauty of those mixed-race girls that Xu Yi had seen on Earth before.

People who see her can't help but praise her, saying that when she really grows up, she will definitely not be inferior to Steele's beauty.

"Look at this!" Freya's pretty face was filled with a smug smile, and she clenched her right hand into a fist and handed it to Xu Yi.

"Oh, what good things are hidden for me to see?" Xu Yi stared at her fist with a smile, deliberately thought for a moment, and then lined up his hands. "I see! You must have caught a little bug somewhere, didn't you?"

Freya has been extremely active since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is extremely cheerful, sometimes even as naughty as a boy.

Ordinary little girls are mostly a little scared when they see insects, but she is very bold and often catches all kinds of strange little insects to play with.

Although Xu Yi was very happy that she could be so cheerful and lively, he was so curious about her that even small insects often played with her.

Of course, he wouldn't spoil Freya in person right now.

"Hehe, it's not a bug this time. Freya raised her right hand a little higher. "Dad, you're watching!"

With that, Freya let go of her five fingers, revealing what was in her palm, but it was a small fireball.

Xu Yi had already sensed the magic fluctuations in her palm, and he didn't say anything, pretending to be surprised: "Wow, Freya, you can actually complete such a small fireball technique, and your progress is very fast!"

Who knew that Freya didn't appreciate it, pursed her lips, and snorted softly: "Dad, who let you see this little fireball, you pay attention to the surrounding magic elements." ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi glanced at Freya unexpectedly, and after concentrating for a moment, he sensed the magic elements around the small fireball in Freya's palm, and suddenly really showed a look of surprise. "Freya, you're ...... Finished the magic surrounding space stabilization?"

If you carefully probe the space around this small fireball with your magic power, you will find that the small fireball in Freya's palm does not look much different from the normal fireball technique, but the magical space around it is completely different from the ordinary fireball technique when it is released.

Normally, when a magician casts magic, the process is to use the magic power in his body to condense the magical elements in the surrounding space to reorganize and form magic.

In this way, once the magic is formed, it will inevitably affect the surrounding magic space, causing the surrounding magic elements to be unstable.

If it is a particularly powerful magic, it will even indirectly affect the real space by affecting the magic space.

The principle of space magic is actually based on this.

However, the fireball technique that Freya is using now is completely different from the normal fireball technique.

First of all, the size of this fireball technique is too small, and the overall shape is about the size of a ping pong ball.

And if you look closely, you will also find that the color and brightness of this small fireball technique are extremely uniform, and there is nothing unusual about it.

This means that Freya's control of the magical elements contained in this fireball technique is very precise, far beyond the level of ordinary magicians.

However, for Xu Yi, what attracted the most attention was that the magic elements around the fireball technique were actually as stable as in the normal magic space.

All the magical elements flowed normally outside of this small fireball spell, as if they were not affected by this fireball spell at all.

To be able to do this is much more than just the precise manipulation of the magical element.

Seeing the surprise on Xu Yi's face, Freya raised her head and said proudly, "How is it? Dad, I'm amazing, right?"

"Awesome! very awesome!" Xu Yi did not hesitate to give Freya a thumbs up in praise.

This praise is also from the heart, because Freya really deserves his praise.

The topic of reducing the impact of condensed magic on the stability of the surrounding magic space was proposed by the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce half a year ago, and the preliminary research has only recently been completed.

In other words, it was only half a year from the beginning of the research to the completion of the preliminary research, but now Freya has been able to successfully cast such a magic that can be used as a standard, and it can only be said that her magical talent is really amazing.

According to Camila's judgment, he even thinks that Freya's great-granddaughter's magical talent may surpass Xu Yi's!

However, for Xu Yi, the so-called magic talent is actually not a clear definition in the wizard circle on this continent at all.

Traditionally, the so-called "magical talent" is nothing more than an indication of whether a magician is fast enough to master learning magic and improving its magical powers.

However, since the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to promote the magic data analysis module four years ago, after several years of continuous investment in research, the mysterious magic that was previously in the minds of most people has long ceased to be mysterious, and has become a discipline that ordinary people can also access and learn.

On the current Sainz Continent, even ordinary people who were previously judged to have no magical talent can also master magic as long as they put in the effort and can read the basic course of magic digitization given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because of this, Xu Yi and many magicians in the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have been denounced as heretics by other magicians on the mainland, and even triggered a wave of boycotts.

However, when more and more ordinary people who learned magic emerged in Xinfei Academy, the opposition gradually subsided.

In just over three years, the understanding of magic has changed dramatically across the entire continent of Sainz. (To be continued......)
