Year 3793 of the Continental Calendar was destined to be a turbulent year for Sines.
First of all, at the beginning of the year, the Magician's Union Headquarters had categorized New Flyer as an unwelcome company and listed it as a company that all magicians on the continent must avoid.
This kind of action had only been done four times in the history of the Sorcerers Guild in the past thousands of years. And every time, the company that was targeted was a company that had committed a great crime and was notorious on the continent. The Sorcerers Guild's actions were completely reasonable.
But this time, the target of the Magician's Union Headquarters was New Flyer, a company that had a clean record and had never done anything bad. They even had good relations with countless countries on the continent and were praised by countless people. Naturally, this caused countless people on the continent to question them.
But what was truly shocking was New Flyer's subsequent reaction.
Normally speaking, when a company was targeted by the Magician's Union Headquarters, their first choice would be to find a way to reconcile. This was because the Sorcerers Guild's influence on Sines was too great. There was no benefit in going against them directly.
But not only did New Flyer not give any face to the Magician's Union Headquarters, they publicly announced that they had broken off relations with the Magician's Union Headquarters and even directly invaded the Mana Magic Kingdom, a special kingdom backed by the Sorcerers Guild.
And ….. they won!
Just as the people were still digesting the waves of shocking news, another even more shocking news broke out, causing the entire continent to be speechless.
Levin Hassock and Salandur Kray, these two famous magicians on the continent, attacked the New Flight Commerce Main Base together, but in the end, they were defeated.
After Salandur Kray The Sorcerer was defeated, he returned to the Mana Magic Kingdom. It was said that he had been hiding in his magic tower to recover from his injuries.
And the Archmage Levin Hassock who had gone with him … had died!
According to the news released by the New Flyer, when Arch Magus Levin Hassock attacked the New Flight Commerce Main Base, he was met with a resolute counterattack from the New Flyer. In the end, he was defeated and killed.
When this news spread, not only were all the magicians on the continent shocked, even the commoners were extremely shocked.
He was an archmage!
How could he die?
However, after New Flyer released some of the recordings of Levin Hassok and Salandur Clay attacking the New Flight Commerce Main Base, as well as the Elven Ring of Doomsday that New Flyer had kept in Archmage Levin Hassok's possession, the doubts in most people's hearts were finally confirmed.
Archmage Levin Hassock was indeed dead. Otherwise, with his formidable strength as an Archmage, who would have the ability to snatch the Elven Ring of Doomsday from him?
However, compared to the Elven Ring of Doomsday, everyone was more concerned about another issue.
Was Archmage Levin Hassock really killed by the several white lights shown in the recordings released by the New Flyer?
Although from the recordings, the several white lights did indeed possess great power, Levin Hassock was an Archmage after all. Even if he couldn't resist such a terrifying attack, he should at least be able to dodge it. How could he have been killed?
This was too illogical.
However, regarding the news released by the New Flyer, whether it was Salandur Kray The Sorcerer who had gone with him to the New Flight Commerce Main Base, or the Mana Magic Kingdom who should be responsible for this matter, none of them gave any response.
Thus, everyone instantly understood that this news was most likely true.
However, once the news was confirmed to be true, the entire Sines instantly went into an uproar.
The last time an Archmage on this continent fell due to an accident was over a thousand years ago.
Who would have thought that after a thousand years, another Archmage would suddenly fall?
What was even more shocking was that the enemy of this Archmage wasn't a legendary Grand Magus, nor was it a Grand Magus. It was a mere Grand Magus and his subordinates!
As everyone knew, the higher the level of a magus, the greater the gap between them.
There was already an insurmountable gap between a Grand Magus and an ordinary magus, and an Archmage was a level higher than a Grand Magus.
In theory, not to mention a Grand Magus leading a group of subordinates, even ten Grand Magi wouldn't be able to pose any threat to an Archmage.
Even if you gathered a hundred Great Mages, you might be able to suppress a Grand Magus, but it would be impossible to kill a Grand Magus.
Or to put it more bluntly, in the current situation where there were no Grand Magi on Sines, an Archmage wouldn't be killed unless he wanted to die.
This was the main reason why Archmages were actively roped in by all the countries on the continent, and also why they were a powerful weapon to intimidate other countries.
Although Archmages were limited by tradition and wouldn't participate in invading other countries, they weren't limited to their personal actions.
This could be seen from the attack of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's main base by the two Arch Magi, Levin Hassok and Salandur Clay.
Both of them were Archmages of the Mana Magic Kingdom. If it wasn't for the fact that the Mana Magic Kingdom was being attacked by the New Flyer, why would they attack the New Flight Commerce Main Base for no reason, and even attempt to kill the New Flyer's president, Xu Yi?
It was clear that they were under the orders of the Mana Magic Kingdom, or the Magician's Union Headquarters behind the Mana Magic Kingdom.
However … the result was that Salandur Clay was defeated, and Levin Hassok died in battle.
No one believed that Levin Hassok would actively seek death, so the only explanation was that he couldn't even escape before being killed by the New Flyer.
This fact … was simply unbelievable.
How did the New Flyer do it?
If this was true, didn't it mean that the New Flyer also had the ability to kill other Archmages?
If the Frestech Chamber of Commerce really had the ability to kill other Arch Magi, the meaning of this ….. was just too terrifying.
Some people also thought of the New Flyer's guards suddenly invading the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Before this, many people thought that the New Flyer's actions were too stupid, and they didn't consider the consequences.
Even if the New Flyer's guards defeated the Mana Magic Kingdom's Glory Magician Legion with their own valiant fighting strength, the Mana Magic Kingdom still had five Archmages.
These five Archmages wouldn't follow the Mana Magic Kingdom's army to invade other countries, but they could secretly take action to retaliate against the New Flyer, and no one would have any objections to their retaliatory actions.
But now that the news of Archmage Levin Hassok being killed by the New Flyer had spread, everyone realized that the New Flyer's invasion of the Mana Magic Kingdom was most likely premeditated!
The New Flyer clearly had the ability to kill an Archmage, which was why they did it on purpose. This caused the Mana Magic Kingdom to retaliate, which ultimately led to the fall of Archmage Levin Hassok.
So now came the question. The New Flyer had successfully killed Archmage Levin Hassok, but what method did they use to kill him?
They could kill an Archmage, but did they have the ability to kill multiple Archmages?
Perhaps the New Flyer's current ability could only kill one Archmage, and they wouldn't be able to handle another?
But no one would personally verify this question.
Only Archmages had the qualifications to verify it, but there were only twenty-eight Archmages on the continent. Now that Archmage Levin Hassok had fallen, there were only twenty-seven left, and one of them was Mentor Carmilla, who would definitely stand on the side of the New Flyer.
Of the remaining twenty-six Archmages, which Archmage would risk their lives to verify this question?
And who would dare to force multiple Archmages to risk their lives to verify it?
No one knew the answer to this question. Everyone only knew that when the news of New Flyer killing Archmage Levin Hassok spread, the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire immediately signed a new cooperation agreement with the New Flyer.
Outsiders had no way of knowing the details of the agreement, but it was clear that in the new cooperation agreement between the two empires and the New Flyer, a lot of preferential conditions were given to the New Flyer.
This was because after this, countless people and all kinds of magic machines from the New Flyer flocked to the two empires.
Following closely behind the two empires, almost every country on the continent took the initiative to apply to the New Flyer for a strategic cooperation plan.
This time, it wasn't these countries that were negotiating with the New Flyer, but rather the New Flyer, in turn, carried out a detailed inspection and review of each country before deciding whether to implement this strategic cooperation plan and how to implement it.
Apart from these countries, the reactions of the commoners were even faster.
Originally, the sales of New Flyer's household magic machines had been increasing rapidly compared to last year, but after this news spread, countless orders from all over the continent flew to the New Flyer.
The orders were so many that if the New Flyer's production had remained the same, it would have taken three years for the New Flyer to continue relying on these orders.
In the countries and regions where magic machines had just been promoted, other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the household magic machines of the other magic machine companies that entered with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce were also very popular. But once this news came out, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's products instantly became popular.
In everyone's eyes, having a look at a New Flyer's product wasn't just a necessity for daily life, it was even a kind of glory.
A company that could kill an Archmage naturally had the ability to surpass all other companies when it came to magic machines.
This logic wasn't much, but it was the true thoughts of most commoners.
Thus, after the news of the New Flyer killing Archmage Levin Hassock spread, it only took half a year of Year 3793 of the Continental Calendar for the New Flyer to become a trend in the Sines. It quickly swept through the entire continent with unstoppable momentum.
Some people were happy about this situation, while others were worried. However, there were even more people who were helpless.
In many people's eyes, although the New Flyer was still a company, it was already like a newborn empire that was rapidly growing with unstoppable momentum.
There would be a day when it could become a true empire that ruled over the entire continent.
