Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 210 Business Community

Anser did not immediately activate the teleportation, but instead brought Macaria to Jacqueline Castle.

Fifty guards had assembled, along with two castle stewards and five young servants.

These people were the helpers that Elise had prepared for Anser. They had all been trained for many years and were at least able to bring the castle under control and make it run smoothly.

It's reassuring for our own people to use it.

When Elise saw Macaria, she scrutinized her for a long time, her expression somewhat strange.

Anser quickly stepped forward to explain, but Elise's expression grew even more hostile towards him.

She wasn't being petty; she was just unhappy that Anser hadn't asked her for the men first, but instead recruited those unreliable mercenaries.

Jacquelineburg has always only used her own people, a personnel philosophy that is very different from Anser's.

But considering that Anser really didn't have anyone under her command right now, she couldn't say anything, but only warned him to be careful in his judgment, as the character of most adventurers was not trustworthy.

Anser called Lin Qiancheng out, and the group chatted while waiting, getting to know each other better in the process.

As evening approached, Adolf arrived with his seventeen men, a carriage, and four fine horses, the carriage laden with large and small bundles of luggage.

Macaria had worked with Adolf, but when they met, they only nodded silently and didn't say a word.

Adolf feigned calmness. After all, he had abandoned the original owner during a time of crisis, which didn't sound good to others, but no one cared about the reasons behind it.

Macaria didn't look down on him, after all, Anser was the recruiter. Right now, she was preoccupied with what Anser had just said and had no time to care about anything else.

Anser instructed the guards and Adolf to tidy up their ranks and reminded them to maintain order and efficiency.

Then, he left a teleportation array in the side hall of Jacquelineburg, but did not activate it, treating it as a return array, which would last for about an hour.

After recording the coordinates, he cast the teleportation array again, opened the portal, and brought dozens of people to White Stone Island.

In less than half a day, the once empty White Stone Fortress was transformed into a well-equipped and powerful force.

With over 150 warriors, dozens of regular professionals, and several elite professionals, if the pirate scouts saw so many defenders on the city walls, they would most likely not dare to come again.

After settling the guards in, Anser released the Dragonfly Ship and brought Elise, Quentin, Giant Tail, Macaria, Adolf, and others aboard. Lin Qiancheng then piloted the ship to patrol White Stone Island and the surrounding waters.

Baishi Island is neither too big nor too small, shaped like a mango. It is about 12 or 13 kilometers long from north to south and only 5 or 6 kilometers from east to west. Apart from a few groups of reefs that appear and disappear with the waves, there are no other islands around it.

The nearest deserted island is over 100 kilometers away, so it would be easy to be discovered if an enemy were to invade.

The island has mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes, and its natural resources are good. The downside is that the arable area is not large, and the four fishing villages on the island mainly rely on fishing for a living.

In the cockpit, Anser used a map to explain the location of White Stone Island to everyone, as well as the potential threats in the surrounding area.

Everyone was in high spirits, but their thoughts differed.

Many people had never met each other before, but after being introduced by Anser, they immediately realized that Anser's background was much stronger than they had imagined.

Anser's original intention was to demonstrate his strength, and this was the effect he wanted. White Stone Island, the Dragonfly Ship, and the professionals present were all part of his strength.

Little did they know, most of these people were recruited by him in the past few days.

"Falling Star Sea is an inland sea, and White Stone Island is surrounded by a peninsula, so the waves here are generally not big. According to records, White Stone Island rarely experiences hurricanes and tsunamis..." Lin Qiancheng, who was practically a local, acted as a temporary guide.

"What a wonderful place." This was only the second time in Quentin's life that he had seen the sea, and he felt an extraordinary sense of wonder, even having the urge to move his home here.

"I plan to create a business alliance that will connect Drag, White Rock Island, and Blayan City via a teleportation array..." Anser revealed his plan for the first time, but he had already put it into practice many times and felt it was entirely feasible.

The key to this matter lies in the damage to the teleportation array.

Based on his experience, a permanent teleportation array requires activation by the caster, and the array's stored mana is depleted in a few seconds or tens of seconds, after which it enters a cooldown period, taking 1-3 days to fully recover. If, like Anser, it is driven by the caster's own mana, then each use consumes at least 9 mana points, and even a level 5 mage can only use it once.

However, he can't do this every day; it's best to rely on the natural recovery of the permanent teleportation array.

Replenishing goods once a week is reasonable.

However, the teleportation array in Jacqueline Castle has not yet been established, so he will have to work hard in the first year.

"I will expand the membership of the Federation, and each member will be eligible to use teleportation arrays and participate in commercial trade, as long as they pay taxes."

"Once a professional reaches a senior rank, they automatically acquire the qualification of a member of parliament after serving for one year, like Mr. Lin Qiancheng," Anser added meaningfully.

Adolf looked confused; he didn't quite understand.

Macaria's eyes were bright, her hands repeatedly stroking the hilt of her sword, her mind churning with all sorts of thoughts.

Lin Qiancheng, who was steering the boat, turned his head and gave Anse a deep look. After turning his head back, he couldn't help but smile.

"Then the federation... isn't the Durag Federation anymore?" Quentin understood the implication.

In this way, Dulag, like White Rock Island, became Anser's private property. The administrative units under the Federation were the agencies that managed these industries, and the Federation itself was the tool for building a business community.

Anser doesn't need to do anything; the entire federation is making money for him. All he needs to do is be strong enough and firmly control the trade channels.

Those lawmakers are major players in the trade, making huge commercial profits without worrying about security issues, so they will naturally support Anser.

“You’re quite generous,” Elise chuckled.

Anser could easily get Durag, but instead of making an exclusive deal, he offered to share the business channels so that everyone could make money, and the members of parliament certainly wouldn't object.

After all, the Dragagon wasn't originally theirs, but the commercial profits were.

“This is still a plan. Everyone should brainstorm and offer their opinions. Quentin, you should summarize them and compile a new set of federation guidelines,” Anser instructed.

"it is good."

The discussion among the crowd grew increasingly heated, with even Moen and Lin Qiancheng showing exceptional enthusiasm.

The stronger the federation, the safer they are, and they may even become members of parliament, so their enthusiasm will definitely be high.

During this period, the Dragonfly-class destroyer flew over four fishing villages one after another, partly to observe the situation and partly to demonstrate its presence, making it easier to intervene in management later.

Due to time constraints, the Dragonfly ship quickly returned to White Stone Castle.

After everyone disembarked, Anser stored the Dragonfly Ship into the Hole Ray.

Seeing this, Elise smiled and said, "Is there enough time? I'd like to go and see Blayan City."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately stopped in their tracks and stared expectantly at Anser.

Who wouldn't want to visit a space city? Many people never have such an opportunity in their lifetime.

“Let’s go, there’s still a quarter of an hour.” Anser had no objection. With a wave of his hand, he led the group and guards to the teleportation hall.

Then, they opened a portal and entered a dimly lit room.

As soon as the portal closed, Anser heard chaos outside, with screams of terror and agony filling the air.

Anser's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
