Volume 8 Chapter 106 The war was caused by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
Xu Yi still had worries in this world, so he wasn’t willing to take the risk and go in this transport array.
Ca.s.sandra had only come to this new world for fun and because of the fun things the Frestech Chamber of Commerce brought, so she also wasn’t willing to take this risk.
But elder Lisanya was different from them.
After explaining the situation to elder Lisanya who was sent to Alice through the transport array, she clearly indicated that she and the entire Azshara Tribe had the responsibility to their elven ancestors. Even if she knew that there was danger, she was still willing to keep investigating.
With how determined elder Lisanya was, Xu Yi couldn’t oppose her, but he suggested to elder Lisanya to wait some time.
At least wait until the magic signal device has been sent for a bit. If they could receive the magic signal from the magic signal device, that would mean that the transfer was safe.
Elder Lisanya agreed with Xu Yi’s views and indicated that she wouldn’t mind waiting a year or several years.
The elves had long lives and waiting a few years wasn’t anything for them.
But elder Lisanya strongly requested to join the research team. Xu Yi naturally didn’t oppose this and directly agreed.
Of course, they wouldn’t be waiting here.
Although no one was willing to risk taking the transport array, just the Abyss Demon Race’s base on Alice was already worth researching.
It was also related to this unknown transport array.
With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s study of magic, they weren’t like the past Sines Continent that could only make rough and not precise descriptions towards magic. They could carefully and thoroughly research magic, guaranteeing that they could find the principle behind phenomena.
If the transport array on Alice was put on the past Sines Continent, it would have been considered a miracle that no one could understand. However, for the current Frestech Chamber of Commerce, because they’ve already studied the transport array between the Sines Planet and Alice, they had some understanding.
Akali believed that as long as she was given enough time, she would certainly be able to uncover its secrets.
Once the research was complete, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be able to build these transport arrays for themselves.
According to Ca.s.sandra’s research, the Abyss Demon Race’s base on the moon had an environment that was suited for people to live in. So after Xu Yi’s experiment, he decided to send a small research team to Alice to work with the base on Sky Island to research the transport array.
Without a single word, Akali had decided that she would lead this research team.
Xu Yi couldn’t persuade her, so he could only let her do what she wanted.
After all, as a researcher, being able to go to a stellar object for research was an exciting thing no matter how one looked at it.
It had to be known that even on the technologically advanced earth, it was almost impossible to stay on the moon for research.
Even the most simple moon landing was doubted by countless people and no other country had done it afterwards.
Every time he thought of this, Xu Yi felt very strange.
Ten thousand years ago, the Abyss Demon Race left this world and left behind this strange tool that could even be considered mysterious known as magic. Now that ten thousand years had pa.s.sed, the people of the Sines Planet under his and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s lead had started to unearth the true potential and use of magic, which should just be following the technical tree that the Abyss Demon Race had already unlocked in the past.
But because of the appearance of Xu Yi, this technical tree should be different from the Abyss Demon Race’s technical tree of the past.
As for what the differences were……unless they could find the Abyss Demon Race, they would never know.
As Akali’s team and elder Lisanya along with some subordinates from the Azshara Tribe started to investigate the Abyss Demon Race’s base on Alice, the situation on the Sines Continent underwent some radical changes.
Because of the worker riots in several provinces and provinces declaring their independence from the Candra Empire, the Candra Empire had fallen into civil strife again. The entire empire was in chaos and it was even more serious than twenty years ago when they were invaded by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Rudson Kingdom.
At this time, countless people were waiting for a response from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
If the Frestech Chamber of Commerce acted the same as twenty years ago, supporting the Candra Empire, the Candra Empire could stabilize themselves and overcome this crisis.
Even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only stopped the Marlow Empire from attacking the Candra Empire, with the acc.u.mulated power of the Candra Empire’s royal family, they would be able to gradually pacify their internal strife.
However, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce ignored the Candra Empire’s situation and didn’t make any statements.
Whether it was in public or in private, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s upper management had the same stance towards the Candra Empire’s situation. They stated that this was the internal affairs of the Candra Empire and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was only a company. They didn’t have the power, the qualification, or the abilities to interfere.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Freya also replied to several newspapers in public that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t willing to interfere in the internal affairs of countries. When it came to the situation in the Candra Empire, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t take any action.
But she also urged the Candra Empire’s officials to refrain from affecting the citizens with the dangers of war.
For this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce worked with other companies and organizations on the continent to form a rescue team, saving those citizens who were caught in the dangers of war.
Quite a few newspapers condemned these actions.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce clearly had the ability, but they didn’t stop the deterioration of the Candra Empire’s internal situation and created this hypocritical rescue team.
How were they saving the Candra Empire’s citizens, they were just poaching the Candra Empire’s people during this war!
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was always saying that they lacked manpower on the Magic Cloud Continent, but because it was too far away, there weren’t that many people willing to go.
But in recent years, during the war on the Sines Continent, there were more and more people choosing to go to the Magic Cloud Continent to avoid the chaos of war. Among them were more and more high level technical workers and magic research staff.
Many newspapers stated that if the chaos of war continued, the talented people of the Candra Empire would be drained and all benefits would go to the Magic Cloud Continent.
Or to put it simply, it would go to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, many newspapers even stated that the chaos of war on the Sines Continent was caused by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Because no matter how you look at it, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t suffer many losses and even gained this large benefit, so there were plenty of reasons for this.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce strongly condemned this suspicion.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce published some data related to this.
The data showed that compared to before the war, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s sales were down and it was more clear with each pa.s.sing year.
The latest data showed that because of the large scale internal strife of the Candra Empire, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s sales had greatly dropped.
Because of this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s profits had been dropping each year. It dropped to the same level as thirteen years ago last year, only barely reaching three billion gold coins.
It had to be known that before the wars, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s yearly profit had already broken through five billion gold coins, being second to none on the Sines Continent.
The war had such serious effects on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, why would the Frestech Chamber of Commerce support war?
Compared to any words, data was more direct and made it easier to convince people.
So after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce announced this data, there were far less people accusing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on the Sines Continent.
After all, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s response was reasonable.
For any company, they would want a stable environment so that more people bought things and the company would profit more.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce always held the idea of peace. The previous chairman Xu Yi had stated in public many times that he always wanted the Sines Continent to be at peace, that way it would greatly benefit the development of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Sines Continent’s magic machine industry.
In the end, as soon as Xu Yi resigned as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman and left the Sines Continent, the countries on the Sines Continent couldn’t wait to start going to war. Could this be blamed on Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce?
Although there were people that stated that once war began, while other products were affected, military magic machines would be greatly welcomed. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce could have secretly sold large amounts of military magic machines to some countries and earned a large amount from this war.
But this was immediately overruled.
If the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was willing to do this, they might as well support a country.
With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s power and their strong production capacity, if they supported either of the two empires, the other one would have already been destroyed.
The benefits that they would gain from this, wouldn’t it be far greater than just selling military magic machines?
With the current situation of the Sines Continent, whether the Frestech Chamber of Commerce supported the Marlow Empire or the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, they would be able to easily defeat their opponents and they would gain much more benefits from that.
No matter how they looked at it, it would be greater than selling military magic machines.
The various a.n.a.lysts couldn’t understand why the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had this att.i.tude, so everyone was confused.
What did the Frestech Chamber of Commerce want to do?
