How to find the right balance between work and family, this was a difficult problem for all the sociologists on earth, so it wasn't easy for Stiel to find an answer.
For Evita and Akali who didn't even have their own little family, this was a problem that didn't exist at all.
Then again, the two of them were busy with research all day, so how could they have time to consider other problems?
New Flyer had already made a breakthrough in the Malor Empire, so Xu Yi attached great importance to the work in the Marquess Of Southguard's territory.
As the core of New Flyer's technology, the Academy of Magic naturally had to provide large amounts of support in this work.
For example, Xu Yi told Evita a few days ago that he needed to build a technology center on the Marquess Of Southguard's territory, providing technical support to the various factories that New Flyer had set up there, as well as the factories of the other companies.
Evita was in charge of assigning personnel and making adjustments during this time, so she was very busy.
Akali led the members of the Magic Resonance Research Team, running all over the place to build the magic signal tower and the magic communication network. She was even busier than Evita.
The last time Evita saw Akali was half a month ago when Akali found time to mobilize her subordinates. At that time, Akali's skin was clearly much darker. It was clear that she had been working outside during this time, so she had been tanned.
But Akali's spirit was very good. Not only was she as energetic as usual, her eyes were filled with a terrifying glow. It was clear that she was very focused on her work and was very happy with it.
Evita had been friends with Akali for many years, but this was her first time seeing her this focused on something, so naturally she felt happy for her.
She and Akali were both children of normal families in the Lampari Kingdom. Even if they were envied by many people for their talent as magicians, after walking down the path of magicians, they found that talent alone was far from enough. They needed opportunities and the more important support of money.
The two of them were born normal and their families didn't have enough money to support their expensive magic research. Being able to enter the Lampuri Royal Academy was already their greatest effort.
Originally, the two of them had thought that it would be good enough if they could become an advanced magician of the fifth rank or above in their lifetime. They would be able to live the rest of their lives as ordinary magicians.
But they never thought that after meeting Xu Yi and the New Flyer, their destinies would change this much.
Now not only had their economic conditions greatly improved, they were doing the work they liked.
Especially when Akali wanted to focus on studying magic resonance technology. She even rejected Xu Yi's invitation to go to the Lampari Kingdom to be the manager of the New Flyer's research center, so it could be seen how much she liked her current research.
Evita naturally supported her good friend's choice. Moreover, she also agreed with Xu Yi's description of the magic communication network's future prospects on the Thayne Continent. She felt that Akali's research project was something she could devote her entire life to.
So when the news of Akali being captured came, Evita was stunned for five minutes before reacting. She immediately went to find Xu Yi.
"Sir chairman, how is Akali right now?"
Xu Yi took a deep breath and patted Evita's shoulder as he said in a deep voice, "Relax, there shouldn't be any problems right now."
"But how could she be captured?" Evita's anxious voice even had a trace of tears in it.
"She's already a seventh level magician, how could she be captured so easily?
The people who captured her must be very strong, right?
Will she be in danger? "
Xu Yi gave a snort as his face sank, "They're just some clowns, what's so strong about them."
After pausing, he took a deep breath and looked at Evita. He slowed down his voice as he continued, "Evita, don't worry, Akali won't be in danger.
I'll save her as soon as possible, you ….. "
"No, I want to go too!" Evita suddenly cut off Xu Yi's words.
Xu Yi's expression froze as he looked at Evita with a frown. He saw that she was staring at him with a determined expression without any intention of backing down.
Xu Yi had known Evita for many years and knew that although she looked very gentle on the outside, she was actually a girl who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
After all these years, this was his first time seeing such a determined expression on her face, so naturally he knew that she had made up her mind.
After hesitating a bit, Xu Yi gave a slight nod, "Alright, you'll personally lead the team. Mobilize all the Magic Airships that can be used and we'll set off immediately."
An hour later, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guard captain Hart personally led two hundred human guards, a hundred elven guards, a hundred dwarven guards, and a hundred beastmen guards. A total of five hundred guards boarded the Magic Airships.
A total of ten Magic Airships took off at the same time, forming a dark cloud in the sky. When they landed on the ground, they formed a large shadow.
This was the first time New Flyer had sent out so many Magic Airships at the same time since they developed the Magic Airships, so it attracted the attention of many people.
However, the Magic Airships were incomparably fast. After pausing in the air, they quickly flew to the south and disappeared into the distant sky.
"Sir chairman, can you tell me what is going on?
Why was Akali suddenly captured?
Who are the people who captured her? "
Evita had only received the news that Akali was in danger, but she didn't know the specifics. While waiting on the Magic Airship, she immediately asked Xu Yi about it.
Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh, "It was my negligence … …"
Akali's whereabouts were very clear, she should be in the hands of Count Dole in the southern part of the Principality of Constantine.
As for the reason, it was related to the New Flyer's promotion of the magic communication network in the duchy.
When Dago Ompes reported to Xu Yi that they had been hindered by the local nobles when they were building the magic signal towers in the southern part of the duchy, Xu Yi didn't care that much.
After all, the nobles of the Principality of Constantine had already been suppressed by him, so they were like tigers without fangs. There wasn't a single noble who dared to go against the New Flyer.
Last time, he had Dago Ompes bring some guards to warn the nobles in the south. After that, the magic communication network was set up very smoothly. Everything was going smoothly.
Akali had led her subordinates this time because the magic signal towers in that area had been built. She wanted to lead her research team to complete the final activation of the magic network.
But he never thought that there would be this kind of accident.
Seeing that the magic network was about to be activated and the work was about to end, the local Count Dole with the most influence suddenly made a move. He led his personal guards to surround the New Flyer's work area and captured all the technicians and workers, including Akali.
After hearing Xu Yi's explanation, Evita let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a bit.
Since this was a move against the New Flyer's construction team, Akali shouldn't be threatened for now.
This was because Count Dole was very clear that if he wanted to solve this matter, he had to directly negotiate with the New Flyer.
Before the results of this negotiation came out, Count Dole wouldn't make any extra moves.
"I think that Akali definitely wasn't willing to leave her subordinates and escape, so she was captured, right?
Otherwise with her current magic power, it shouldn't be a problem for her to escape from the private guards of a small noble. "Evita said.
However, Xu Yi knit his brows and shook his head.
"No, according to the information we received, Akali and the others were captured without any resistance."
Evita was stunned, "It can't be, right?
How could Count Dole's private guards have someone who could capture Akali so easily?
He's just an ordinary small noble. "
Although Count Dole was a Count in name, he was only a Count of the small Principality of Constantine. Not to mention the Kandla Empire or the Malor Empire, he was even worse than the Lampari Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ruhr.
For a small noble like this, it was already considered good to have some private guards. But to have a powerful subordinate that even a Seventh Grade Magician like Akali couldn't resist, that was basically an impossible matter.
"I'm not sure either. There's too little information coming back, so we can only go and see."
Xu Yi shook his head and sighed. Seeing Evita knit her brows, he smiled gratefully and comforted her, "Don't worry, Count Dole shouldn't have the guts to harm Akali and the others.
I think he just wants to use them to threaten me and negotiate with me. "
"Yes, I know." Evita nodded, but her brows knit even more.
"But Sir Chairman, I still don't understand.
Could it be that Count Dole doesn't know that if he does this, he will completely offend our New Flyer? Has he not considered the consequences? "
"I don't believe he's that stupid." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"But he did such a stupid thing. The only explanation is that he has the confidence to do this.
As for where this confidence comes from … "
Xu Yi snorted and looked to the south with narrowed eyes.
"No matter who gave you this confidence, this time, I'll definitely make you regret it."
