Romon and Aloyo came to Waterland City, the capital of the Malor Empire's Central Province, with a simple mission. They were only in charge of promoting the New Flyer's college education model, and they planned to cooperate with the Governor-General of the Central Province to build some new colleges in the province.
These new colleges would all imitate the New Flight College's model. Unlike the traditional Mage College, they would teach all kinds of basic knowledge to build a foundation for the students.
If one had to describe it, it would be similar to the elementary and middle schools on Earth.
The biggest difference was that the knowledge learned in elementary and middle schools on Earth was related to natural science and technology theory, while the ones taught in these colleges were related to magical science theory.
As the research on the magic industry in Sines became more in-depth, the research on magical science theory also became more in-depth and detailed.
If a child wanted to become a mage now, they would no longer learn directly from mastering magic like in the past. Instead, they would learn from the most basic knowledge such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and so on. They would only start to come into contact with magic after they had developed a general scientific concept.
The disadvantage of this was that the students might need to study for many years before they could truly master magic.
However, the advantage of doing so was that every student had the possibility of mastering magic through learning. Even if they couldn't master the ability to cast magic by themselves like the mages in the past, they could still master other related skills through various learning and find a suitable job from there.
With the magic industry still developing rapidly in the Sines, there was no need to worry about not having a place to use it.
This education model was previously only promoted in the New Flight College. Although the other countries also followed suit, the effects were naturally far inferior to the New Flight College.
Hence, this time, the New Flyer took the initiative to share this new education model, and the other countries welcomed it.
The Malor Empire was one of the first batch of partners that the New Flyer chose to cooperate with. As early as three months ago, both sides had already reached a consensus and signed a cooperation agreement.
Hence, this time, Romon and Aloyo didn't come to Waterland City to seek the approval of the Governor of the Central Province. Instead, they came directly to discuss the details of the cooperation.
Given their identities, the Governor of the Central Province didn't need to meet them personally. Instead, the Governor sent a representative to cooperate with the castellan of Waterland City to have a preliminary discussion. They decided to build a college in Waterland City as a trial run.
As the general strategy had already been decided, there wasn't much to talk about between the two parties. They only had a simple discussion on some of the details, and things were quickly settled.
However, when they were leaving, the representative vaguely mentioned the Kandla Empire's invasion of the Mana Magic Kingdom to Romon, and tried to ask the New Flyer's opinion on this matter.
Romon naturally couldn't tell him anything.
The representative of the Governor's Office did not pursue the matter. Both parties chatted casually for a while before leaving.
On the way back to his residence, Romon's's's residence.
"What do you think ….. sir chairman is thinking?" Aloyo deeply knit his brows, as if this problem had been bothering him for a long time.
"Even if he didn't expect the Kandla Empire to be this bold, attacking the Marlow Magic Kingdom as soon as he left, the news was sent by the fastest Magic Airship as soon as possible. Sir chairman should already know about this, so why hasn't he reacted yet?"
Romon looked at him and after thinking for a bit, he said in a low voice, "Before leaving the headquarters, I received news that sir chairman had sent a message back last week."
"Oh?
What do you mean? "Aloyo's expression immediately changed.
Aloyo's expression changed, "Did he have the company warn the Kandla Empire to stop?"
"If that was the case, do you think that the Kandla Empire would still attack the Mana Magic Kingdom?" Romon asked back.
Aloyo thought for a bit before knitting his brows again, "Then what does sir chairman want to do?
Could it be that it's like those people said, that he made a secret agreement with the Kandla Empire to destroy the Mana Magic Kingdom? "
Romon immediately glared at him, "How could you say this?"
Glancing around cautiously, Aloyo coughed softly and continued, "Then, what exactly did he say?"
Romon shook his head with a confused look on his face.
"According to the news I received, sir chairman's meaning is ….. to not care about anything."
"Not care about anything?" Aloyo raised his voice.
"How could that be!
We are the New Flyer! "
Romon gave a helpless sigh, "Be quiet.
How could we know what sir chairman is thinking.
But since he sent this order back, he must have a deep meaning. "
"Deep meaning?" Aloyo shook his head, as the doubt on his face showed that he didn't believe it.
"Sir chairman has always emphasized that he hopes that Sines will always be peaceful, that way it will be more beneficial to the development of the magic machine industry.
Now that the Candra Empire is at war with the Mana Magic Kingdom, this is one of the top countries on the continent, how could it be considered peaceful? "
"Are you saying that you want to blame this on the president as well?" Romon rolled his eyes at him.
"This …" Aloyo didn't dare to blame Xu Yi. He could only remain silent.
Romon sighed and shook his head gently.
In fact, he felt that Aloyo's words made some sense.
The President's previous decisions, as well as his choice of timing to go to the Demon Cloud Continent, seemed to be very difficult to completely remove from suspicion.
However, this brought him back to the terrible result that he had thought of before.
If the chairman did this on purpose, then the peace and stability that Sines had maintained for eleven years would be gone.
If that was the case, was this continent ….. going to be chaotic?
###
"To put it bluntly, no matter how chaotic Sines is, what does it have to do with us?" Ancato knocked on the table in front of him. His expression was very impassioned, but his words were cold.
"We are just a Chamber of Commerce. The other countries can fight whoever they want. As long as it doesn't affect our business, it has nothing to do with us."
When these words fell into the ears of the other New Flyer executives in the conference room, they immediately frowned.
"Ancato, you can't say that, right?"
The chairman of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, Airen Thorpe, said with a heavy nasal voice, "The other countries have started a war, which will definitely affect the business of our Chamber of Commerce.
Just like this time, although the war is mainly concentrated in the Mana Magic Kingdom, it still affected more than a dozen mines that have a little relationship with the Mana Magic Kingdom.
If the war continues for a long time, our mine production next month will decline. "
"Yes.
Ancato, don't tell me that your household magic machine department isn't affected.
Anyway, our Magic Car department has already been affected. The order from the Kandla Empire was canceled and they didn't even give us an explanation. "
"That's because your Magic Car department isn't strong enough, otherwise why wouldn't the Kandla Empire give you an explanation?" Ancato gave a laugh.
"As for our household magic machine department ….. it is also affected, but it isn't a hindrance."
"That is now.
If there are more countries fighting in the future, do you think it will be a hindrance? "
Ancato looked over everyone before saying with a laugh, "You seem to be certain that there will be more countries that won't settle down?"
"Isn't this an obvious matter!"
Lissop had the explosive temper of the dwarves, so he slapped the table when he heard this and shouted, "Those fellows are secretly developing military magic machines, perhaps each country has quite a few of them.
Before, sir chairman was here, so no one dared to cause trouble. Now that sir chairman is finally gone from Sines, they definitely won't let go of this chance. Look, didn't the Kandla Empire appear? "
Everyone looked at each other before nodding.
The matter of the other countries secretly developing military magic machines wasn't a secret in the eyes of the New Flyer high level members.
Xu Yi never said anything about this before, so everyone ignored it.
Now that Xu Yi wasn't here and the Kandla Empire had jumped out, perhaps the other countries wouldn't be able to hold back.
"So what are you planning to do?
Send the company's guards to drive the Kandla Empire's army back and have them stop fighting? "Ancato asked back.
Everyone was silent.
If it was in the past, the New Flyer might have done this.
But now that Xu Yi's attitude was ambiguous and the New Flyer had announced that they would withdraw from the Mana Magic Kingdom, it would be hard to convince others and even harder for the Kandla Empire to accept it.
Moreover, with Xu Yi not here, the other high level members of the company didn't have the qualifications to mobilize a large number of guards.
Moreover, in the message that Xu Yi sent back last week, he only said that this matter was between the two countries and had nothing to do with the company. This also showed his attitude.
Ancato paused before asking, "Do you still not understand sir chairman's thoughts?
It's just that with the strength of our New Flyer, ten years of suppressing the other countries is already a long time. We can't keep suppressing them like this.
Sooner or later, they will have other thoughts and become chaotic, we can't do anything about it.
Moreover, this isn't something that a company like us should do, right? "
Everyone understood this reasoning, but in the past ten years, they had already gotten used to the New Flyer being above the other countries in terms of Sines, so it was hard for them to accept it.
"But … … Why did you choose this time?"
"Maybe it's been too long and you've all forgotten." Ancato smiled as if he already knew.
"When the 'Continental Peace Treaty' was first signed, there was a time limit … …"
