Everyone looked up and found that there was a black shadow in the sky. There was a large shadow on the ground that covered the pier.
Great Magician Telucci looked over and asked in shock, "What is this thing?"
Xu Yi said with a faint smile, "We'll know when we take a look."
After saying this, Xu Yi made an inviting gesture to Great Magician Telucci. He added a Wind Controlling Spell on himself and flew up the cliff.
Great Magician Telucci had a confused look as he also flew up.
The weakest of them all, Stiel, was a Sixth Grade Magician, so naturally he had the ability to fly. So the group flew up and after a while, they chased after the strange "black cloud" in the sky, landing in the open space outside Xu Yi's private manor.
Stiel, who was flying in the back, had just landed when the "black cloud" in the sky fell down.
When it landed on the ground, everyone looked at it and found that this "black cloud" was an oval shape. It was around thirty meters long and less than ten meters wide. It was olive shaped and looked like a boat at first glance.
"This thing ….. Could it be a Magic Airship?"
Great Magician Telucci curiously came over and circled around the Magic Airship with a look of praise on his face.
"Camilla mentioned to me before that your company is developing a Magic Airship that can carry people through the air.
But when he mentioned it to me, he said that the Magic Airship you developed was only a few meters long and could only hold one person.
Now this one ….. I think it can hold at least ten-twenty people, right? "
"The number of people was set at eighteen, but it hasn't reached twenty yet." Xu Yi explained with a faint smile.
"That's still very incredible."
Great Magician Telucci couldn't help saying in surprise, "Eighteen people, even if each person weighs fifty kilograms, that's close to a ton.
To be able to fly through the sky while hitting something that weighs a ton and fly this fast, this is simply too shocking! "
Xu Yi laughed. He thought that this Magic Airship could only carry less than a ton and it was already enough to make Great Magician Telucci this surprised. If he were to see the large cargo planes on earth, wouldn't his jaw drop from shock?
There was a soft sound that came from the Magic Airship. A door that could fit two people opened on the side and Akali charged out of it.
"Sir chairman, we're back!"
Akali waved her hand at Xu Yi. She looked over the others and finally fell onto Stiel. She rushed over to grab Stiel's hand and shook it while excitedly shouting.
"Stiel, you should come with us and see the Magic Airship.
This is too exciting!
I never thought that I would be able to look down from such a high altitude and still be able to do it so steadily. It's simply incredible! "
Stiel looked at her, "It's not like you haven't flown in the sky with flying magic before, why are you so excited?"
"That's not the same." Akali forcefully shook her head.
"Although you can fly in the sky with flying magic, the highest you can fly is ….. You can't even reach ten floors, around twenty meters, not even thirty meters.
But if you ride this Magic Airship, you can only reach a few hundred meters in the sky!
Let me tell you, looking down from a few dozen meters in the sky and looking down from a few hundred meters in the sky are two completely different things! "
"Is that so?" Stiel was a bit confused.
"Of course.
Do you know?
Looking down from a few hundred meters in the sky, the people on the ground are as small as ants, you can't even see their faces!
When I look down from above, I suddenly feel like I've become great! "
Even if Akali's words were always exaggerated, this was the first time Stiel had seen her this excited because of something, so he was also interested.
"Alright, the next time this Magic Airship takes off, I want to experience it as well.
Xu Yi, is that okay? "
Xu Yi shrugged, "You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask Evita.
After all, she's the person in charge of the Magic Airship project. She's the expert in this area and has the most right to speak.
If she agrees to let you go, then I have no objections. "
Evita had just walked out of the Magic Airship. Seeing Xu Yi throw the question at her, she nodded with a smile, "No problem.
After a few experiments, I've confirmed that the safety of this Magic Airship is guaranteed to a certain extent.
Also, Stiel is a magician, even if there's a problem, there won't be any problems. "
Stiel immediately looked at Xu Yi. Xu Yi nodded, "Alright, since Evita agrees, then I won't object."
Ignoring Stiel and Akali talking about the experience of riding the Magic Airship, Xu Yi walked to Evita's side and asked in a low voice, "Is it done?"
Evita gave a slight nod. She reached into her chest and took out a thick piece of kraft paper, handing it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took it, but he didn't open it. He called out to Great Magician Telucci who was sizing up the Magic Airship and led the group into the manor.
Everyone entered the innermost room of the manor. Xu Yi opened the piece of kraft paper Evita had given him and placed it on the table in the center of the room.
This piece of kraft paper wasn't small when folded, but once it was spread out, it covered the entire table. It was over two meters long and a meter wide.
There were a bunch of messy lines and markings on the paper. Great Magician Telucci carefully looked at it under Xu Yi's indication and was suddenly stunned.
"This ….. It seems to be a map of the surrounding area?"
"Right." Xu Yi nodded with a smile before pointing at the kraft paper.
"Look, this is Caraska Island.
Un ….. When we rode the small Magic Speed Boat over the sea, it felt quite far. Looking at the map, it doesn't seem that far.
Evita, what scale did you use to draw this map? "
"It should be around 1: 500000."
“1:500000？
Let me see ….. This means that Caraska Island is less than a hundred kilometers away from here. "Xu Yi thought about it before nodding.
"That's right, it would take around two hours to get there with the small Magic Speed Boat, it should be around this far."
Great Magician Telucci looked at the map before looking at Xu Yi with a confused look.
"Xu Yi, where did you get this map?
Moreover ….. Why did you make such a detailed map?
Other than the surrounding area, it also includes the entire Principality of Constantine, even the Black Rice Wasteland to the north and the Sack Kingdom's coastline to the north. This is too strange. "
"How did I get it?
I had Evita use the Magic Airship to draw it from the sky.
Otherwise, what kind of map would be this detailed?
Moreover, the size is this standard? "Xu Yi asked back with a natural look.
"Un ….. It is indeed very detailed. As for the size ….. it is indeed very good. At least in this area, it's exactly the same as what I saw in the sky." Great Magician Camilla who had been studying the map on the side also nodded in agreement.
Xu Yi laughed, "Perhaps it's even more accurate than when you saw it from the sky.
Because you couldn't fly that high in the sky and you wouldn't stay in the sky for that long, right? "
"That's right." Great Magician Camilla didn't deny it.
Great Magician Camilla didn't deny it, "If you fly high, naturally you can see further.
This Magic Airship can fly up to several hundred meters in the air. Even I, a Great Magician, can only fly up to about a hundred meters. That's far from it. "
When he heard Akali describe the height of the Magic Airship, Great Magician Telucci was a bit doubtful. Now that he heard Great Magician Camilla confirm it, Great Magician Telucci was even more surprised.
This was just a magic machine and it could actually fly higher than a Great Magician, this was a bit too shocking.
The most important thing was that this Magic Airship wasn't slow at all.
Adding in the fact that it could even bring people who didn't know magic into the sky, this was much more useful than magicians.
"Great Magician Telucci, look, this is Caraska Island.
Have you noticed that Caraska Island's location is very important? "Xu Yi's question pulled Great Magician Telucci back from his surprise.
"Un?
How is it important? "Great Magician Telucci looked at the map for a while, but he couldn't see anything.
He was born and raised on Caraska Island, but he never felt that this island's location was important.
"Look here ….." Xu Yi reached out his right index finger and first pointed at Caraska Island on the map before pointing at the coastline a few times.
"Look, first, Caraska Island is less than a hundred kilometers away from our current location.
Second, look here. Caraska Island is even closer to the Black Rice Wasteland, it's less than a hundred kilometers ….. "
"Wait." Great Magician Telucci raised his hand to cut off Xu Yi's words.
"It's fine if you say that Caraska Island is closer, but why did you mention the Black Rice Wasteland?
Is there any meaning? "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He pointed at the coast of the Black Rice Wasteland that was closest to Caraska Island and said, "If we set up a harbour here, do you think there's any meaning to it?"
Great Magician Telucci looked at where Xu Yi was pointing and his eyes lit up before dimming again.
"That isn't realistic.
If there really was such a port, it would be very important to Caraska Island.
But behind this place is the Black Rice Wasteland and it's close to the depths of the Black Rice Wasteland where the most savage beastmen tribes live.
It is impossible to set up a port here. "
"That isn't impossible." Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Actually, I've already been working on solving this problem.
As long as everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to take care of the beastmen tribes that are the biggest hindrance and we'll be able to set up this port. "
Great Magician Telucci knit his brows, "There's no need to make such a big fuss, right?
Those beastmen tribes are very strong and they're deep in the Black Rice Wasteland, it's too hard to take care of them.
If it's just for Caraska Island ….. Even I don't think it's worth it. It's better to think of another method. "
"No, sir Great Magician.
I'm not just doing this to improve the living conditions of the residents of Caraska Island. Of course, this is also a very important reason. But in my opinion, the most important reason for me to do this is because Caraska Island has a strong strategic significance. "
"Strategic significance?" Great Magician Telucci looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
All the comments he heard about Caraska Island, the place where he was born and raised, were negative. This was the first time he heard someone mention the "strategic significance" of Caraska Island.
This Xu Yi ….. Was he serious?
