Xu Yi blinked.
If he had heard this news before meeting Cassandra, he would have been very surprised.
However, he had been talking to Cassandra for a long time just now, so naturally there was nothing exciting to hear about this news.
"This guy Noir... He clearly knows that this illusion projection module was brought here by Cassandra, the dragon... "
Xu Yi muttered and continued reading.
Through Noir's description in the vision, Xu Yi finally got a rough idea of what was going on.
The ocean-going exploration fleet led by Noir arrived at this island where dragons live about four months ago. Before that, they basically continued westward on the boundless endless sea. Although they also explored countless things along the way, Islands, and even encountered local human indigenous people on a few islands, but nothing worthy of attention happened.
When they arrived at the island and discovered the legendary dragon clan on the island, everyone was shocked.
But to their surprise, the ferocious-looking dragon clan was not as ferocious as the legend said. Instead, it showed a strong interest in them and communicated with them very friendly.
After a month of mutual communication, the fleet learned many things that it did not know before with the help of these dragons.
For example, there are several continents in this world. For example, the one closest to this island is Moyun Continent. For example, on Moyun Continent, dwarfs are everywhere, such as...
After obtaining this basic information, Noir determined that the fleet would go to the Magic Cloud Continent to explore.
However, he felt that the information obtained so far was extremely valuable and he needed to report it to the president first.
And when Noir was thinking about how to send people back to report. Among the dragons they met, there was actually a dragon who volunteered himself. Be willing to do it for them.
The vitality of the Dragon Clan is extremely powerful. It can even maintain a flying attitude and fly at full speed for up to a month. The flying speed is even faster than a magic airship, so if the Dragon Clan does this, it will definitely save a lot of time.
"President, considering the existence of phantom projection technology, I think it is acceptable to report to you in this way. In addition, it will be more convincing if the dragon clan comes to deliver the letter in person, so I agree with her suggestion. You When I saw this vision, I believed I had seen Cassandra in person and should have had a conversation with her.”
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
There is no problem for Noval to serve as the fleet commander, but his old habit of always adding nonsense every time he makes a report has not changed at all. He must be trained well when he comes back.
But there is something strange about Xu Yi.
According to what Norval said in this vision, Cassandra's departure should have been about three months ago.
But considering that the flying speed of dragons even exceeds that of magic airships, the distance of 10,000 kilometers is not particularly far. Why did Cassandra arrive so slowly
"According to the descriptions of the dragons, the nearest landing point from the Moyun Continent to this island is less than a thousand kilometers away, so I decided that before exploring the unknown Moyun Continent, it would be best to establish a base nearby as a base. It’s a stationary location so that we can have a place to evacuate when our exploration is unfavorable.”
Hear what Norval said. Xu Yi nodded slightly in approval.
Noir's consideration can be said to be very prudent, but for their fleet, which is tens of thousands kilometers away from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, no matter how cautious it is, it is undoubtedly the right thing for him to do.
According to Noir's plan, the ocean exploration fleet will first eliminate a small number of ships and a small number of personnel to go to the Demon Cloud Continent for preliminary exploration. The remaining personnel and fleet will find a larger area near the island where the dragons live. Base construction began on the island which is large and has a good living environment.
What Cassandra said just now that "the fleet needs help" is actually the reinforcement in manpower and materials proposed by Noir.
"Mr. Chairman, with the good relationship we have established with the Dragon Clan, as long as the base on this island is completed, we will gain a solid stronghold outside the Moyun Continent and lay a solid foundation for our Chamber of Commerce to officially enter the Moyun Continent in the future. A good foundation. My subordinates believe that we should continue to increase investment here. At the same time, during our interactions with the Dragon Clan, we discovered the Dragon Clan’s demand for certain special products... "

"President, this is a good opportunity!" Kennard slapped his hand on the table and looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes, his expression full of excitement. "This is a brand 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 unimaginable huge development space!"
"Don't get excited yet." Xu Yi raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Kennard to calm down first. "There are two problems now. First, the authenticity of this illusion is not yet certain."
Kennard was startled: "Mr. President, do you... doubt Noir?"
"I'm not sure whether this illusion itself is real." Xu Yi glanced at him. "You should know that the principle of illusion is to use the illusion magic circle to form. This also means that there is the possibility of directly creating false illusions."
"But Noir in this vision is very real. I don't think direct forgery can reach this level." Kennard said.
"Yes. So there is another possibility. Norval himself has been manipulated. Of course, this is just my inference. The reason is that this time Norval did not send back a subordinate, but just asked Cassandra It's unreasonable for this dragon to come back and report. "Well..." Kennard pondered for a while and nodded slightly. "This is indeed unreasonable. Norval should not have thought of this. "
"Second question, even if this illusion is true, then to what extent should the support we provide be appropriate?"
"Well..."
Kennard spent a lot longer thinking this time.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he replied in a positive tone: "Try our best! Chairman, for a chamber of commerce, a brand new market is the most rare thing. The reason why our chamber of commerce has been so successful in the past few years The rapid development is entirely because the magic industry market in Sainz continent is completely blank, so we have taken the lead and of course the development is rapid. "
"But as other countries on the mainland pay more and more attention to the magic industry, our Chamber of Commerce can no longer monopolize all markets as before. So from now on, seeking new markets is the most important issue for us to consider. . And if the news brought back by this dragon is true, it means that she has brought us a huge new market. If we don’t take advantage of it, it will be suicide!”
Looking at the excited Kennard, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that Kennard could be considered a real businessman.
But my own perspective is slightly different from his.
"But Kennard, now that we know this news, it is definitely impossible to hide it from other people. Sooner or later other people and other countries will also know that there is one or even several continents outside the Sainz continent. Do you think they can’t think of this problem?”
"So what can they think of?" Kennard snorted lightly, his tone full of confidence. "Currently, only our New Flying Chamber of Commerce has a magic ship that can sail across the ocean. Even if they know that there is another continent outside the continent of Sainz, they can't go there without the support of the magic ship."
"Have you forgotten that the main body of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce is still in Sainz Continent? 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. No matter what aspect we consider, we must seize this opportunity. Well... "
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, took a piece of paper, drew a circle on it, marked Sainz Continent, then extended a long line to the left, clicked a dot, wrote Noval, and then moved to the left Extend a section, draw another circle, and mark the Magic Cloud Continent.
"Now we have to confirm the authenticity of this information first." Xu Yi clicked on the point marked Noir. "Then decide how to operate this outpost based on the actual situation. At the same time..."
Xu Yi clicked on the line again, and then frowned.
"The biggest problem now is communication. Both the island and the Magic Cloud Continent are too far away from here. It takes a very long time to transmit any information. A round trip will probably take at least a month. Such a long time is enough to A lot of things have completely changed.”
Kennard looked at the dense dots that Xu Yi pointed out on that line, frowned and said: "Mr. Chairman, don't you want to build magic signal towers one after another like this? Such investment is too terrible. , even our New Flying Chamber of Commerce can’t afford it, and... the environment on the Endless Sea probably won’t allow it.”
"Well, so now this is a big problem." Xu Yi clicked on the paper a few more times and gave up thinking about the problem. "Forget it, the communication problem can only be solved later. Now let's consider how to confirm the authenticity of this news. Kennard, I ask you to make a detailed plan immediately. Once it is determined that reinforcements will be sent , I need you to be able to organize a fleet with sufficient strength in the shortest possible time."
"No problem!" Kennard responded without hesitation. Then his expression changed and he asked again: "By the way, Mr. President. The dragon said that there are several continents outside the Demon Cloud Continent. Should we explore those other continents?"
"Don't expect to become fat in one bite." Xu Yi scolded. “The most important thing is that our Chamber of Commerce’s current strength is not enough to support so many lines of exploration at the same time.”
Kennard blinked and could only sigh sadly. (To be continued...)
