It was early summer in early June, and Bangta City, like Beijing City in the original world, already had obvious heat.
Xu Yi, who was wearing a Sunco Haier College graduate's dress that covered his whole body, had only walked a short distance on the street when he already felt hot all over his body.
If he hadn't used magic power to maintain the small frost circle covering his whole body in advance, he might have been drenched in sweat by now.
"Is this where it is?"
Xu Yi stopped and looked up at the magic tower in front of him, which was thirty meters high and covered an area of more than tens of thousands of square meters on the ground floor. His eyes finally fell on the door sign in front of the magic tower.
"Camilla's Magic Tower"
Yes, this is it.
Looking at this sign, Xu Yi felt a little nervous, and then he laughed to himself.
His mood now is as nervous as when he applied for a job at his first large domestic mechanical engineering company after graduating from university five years ago.
Xu Yi did not originally belong to this world.
Three years ago, he was one of the mechanical engineers most valued by company leaders in the largest domestic mechanical engineering company on earth, and he also had a great reputation in the industry. Considering that he was only twenty-four years old at the time, it could be said to be extremely rare and he had a bright future.
However, things are unpredictable. During an engineering survey three years ago, he accidentally fell into the water. When he woke up, he found that he had traveled to another world.
At first, Xu Yi thought that he would be like the protagonist in those novels, easily becoming a super magician in this world dominated by magic, and also reaching the pinnacle of life.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.
It should be said that Xu Yi's magic talent is quite good. After coming to this world, it only took him half a year to adapt. Through his own efforts, he was admitted to a magic academy in just two years and became a magician. He has completed studies that would take the average student on this continent four years or more to complete, and he is also called a rare magic genius by the teachers at the academy.
But the problem is that Xu Yi has been in this world for too short a time, and the magicians in this world have been trained in magic since childhood. No matter how powerful Xu Yi's talent is, it is difficult to stand out immediately.
What's more, he has no foundation in this world. The Senkohaier Academy that he can get into is just an ordinary magic academy in the Kingdom of Lampali. It does not have particularly strong magic teaching capabilities. Xu Yizai Sen Kohail Academy can be far superior to its peers, but in the entire Sainz continent, it is really not worth mentioning.
So after Xu Yi graduated from Sunco Haier College, he immediately faced the same embarrassment as many college graduates around the world - graduation equals unemployment.
"No matter what, I must succeed in applying today!" Xu Yi shook his head vigorously, putting aside the chaotic memories of his previous life caused by the tension in his heart, calmed down, took a deep breath, and stepped towards Walk inside the magic tower.
Camilla the Great Magician is one of the most powerful magicians in Bangta City. If he can get the opportunity to assist in magic research under him, Xu Yi believes that he will be able to quickly improve his magic strength and realize his role in this world. the value of.
To Xu Yi's expectation, the defense of the magic tower was not very strict. He walked into the gate easily. Although there were several people wearing robes of different colors passing by, they were just curious at most. He glanced at him, but no one paid any attention to him.
Seeing the hurried footsteps and pensive expressions on their faces of the people passing by, Xu Yi couldn't help but think of the mechanical engineering research institute where he stayed when he was still on Earth.
Most of the engineers in the institute, including him, have this attitude on weekdays.
Thinking of this, the tension in Xu Yi's heart suddenly disappeared.
In a few steps, he walked to the ajar door of the magic tower. Xu Yi did not hesitate and opened the door. Just as he was about to walk in, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him. He immediately stretched out his hand to pull the door open. Pull on the self-closing gate to keep it open.
Looking back, Xu Yi was slightly startled.
What was walking towards here quickly was a beautiful young girl with bright blond hair. Although she was also wearing a long, tubular black robe, she could still show off her slender and beautiful figure. With three-dimensional facial features, a face with soft lines, and a confident smile on his face, the whole person is full of youthful vitality.
In the past, in the Engineering Research Institute, young and beautiful female interns like this girl appeared from time to time.
The girl saw Xu Yi holding the door open, waiting for her to approach. After being stunned for a moment, she smiled at Xu Yi and nodded to express her gratitude.
Xu Yi also smiled back. When she walked in the door, she turned around and walked towards the Magic Tower Affairs Department that she had just seen after entering the door.
When the girl behind him saw Xu Yi leaving simply, she was stunned again, looked at Xu Yi's back thoughtfully, and then turned around and left.
Instead, she stepped into the magic ladder in the center of the magic tower and climbed straight up to the highest point of the magic tower.
If Xu Yi knew more about this magic tower, he would definitely know that the top of this magic tower is the exclusive area of the owner of this magic tower, the great magician Camilla.
However, Xu Yi didn't have time to think about this now. After coming to the Magic Tower Affairs Department to explain his intention, the receptionist quickly arranged for two people to interview him.
The process was not smooth.
When the two people in charge of the interview heard that Xu Yi graduated from Suncor Haier College, the expressions on their faces immediately changed.
Xu Yi is familiar with this change because he has seen it many times in the past six months.
This is clearly contempt.
Senko Haier College is not very famous in the Lampali Kingdom. As a graduate of Senko Haier College, Xu Yi will naturally not be taken seriously.
"Uh... maybe... maybe? Have you participated in the qualification certification examination of the Magician's Guild?" The slightly fatter interviewer on the right continued to ask.
This question was kind to Xu Yi, but unfortunately Xu Yi could only shake his head in embarrassment.
It had only been three years since he came to this world, and it was already very difficult to graduate from Senkohaier Academy. He had no time to pass the more stringent qualification examination of the Magician's Guild.
More importantly, the qualification certification examination of the Magician's Guild is expensive, and Xu Yiguang has already tried his best to cope with the tuition and living expenses of Senkehaier College, as well as the daily consumption of magic research. How can he still have so much spare money? Do this.
Seeing Xu Yi shaking his head, the two interviewers looked at each other. The fatter interviewer coughed slightly, with a trace of apology on his face.
"In this case, Mr. Xu Yi, thank you for coming to apply for the job, but I'm sorry..."
Xu Yi's face darkened. He knew very well that the interviewer's words meant that his application almost ended in failure.
But if he fails to apply for this job, he will have to find other jobs to make ends meet because he doesn't have much money anymore.
And in this way, he will inevitably be away from magic research for a long time. I am afraid that his magic level will not rise but fall, which will have a great impact on his future development.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi raised his hand to interrupt the interviewer.
"Sir, I think it's not that important which academy you graduated from, right? What you need is an assistant who can help the respected Arch Magician Camilla in his magical research, not a diploma from a magic academy. Or it’s a proof from the Magician’s Guild, as long as I’m competent enough, are you right?”
"Oh?" The slightly fat interviewer gave Xu Yi a funny look: "So young man, what do you have to prove that you have these abilities?"
Xu Yi took out a small box from the backpack he carried with him and handed it over.
"What is this?" The two interviewers looked at the box over and over for a while, confused.
"That's it." Xu Yi reached out and tapped the box lightly, and a trace of magic penetrated through his fingers.
Although the two interviewers are not powerful magicians, as the subordinates of Camilla's great magician, they are naturally no strangers to magic. They easily felt Xu Yi's magic power, and a trace of surprise flashed across their faces. color.
Although Xu Yi's magic power was weak, they could feel that this magic power was extremely pure and stable, with almost no fluctuations.
This is difficult for even some powerful magicians to do, let alone Xu Yi, a young man who looks to be in his twenties.
Because of this trace of magic, the two interviewers suddenly had some changes in their view of Xu Yi, and looked at the box in their hands more cautiously.
After being injected with magic power by Xu Yi, the square box suddenly cracked in the middle, and a stream of crisp and sweet music floated out of the box.
The two interviewers took a closer look and found that after opening the box, there was actually a piano model inside.
This model is only about the size of a person's palm, but it is very delicately made, and even each key is clearly divided.
What's even more surprising is that these keys are actually sinking and bouncing in response to the sound of music, as if a void hand is playing the piano, emitting music.
The two interviewers watched the piano playing for a while. The slightly fat interviewer put down the box, frowned and asked Xu Yi: "This is just a toy, how can you prove your magic power?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Sir, this is indeed a toy, but all the driving force of this toy comes from the magic circle I arranged in it. Just inject a little magic power, and it can start automatically. Doesn't this prove that my Magical power?"
In fact, the core part of this toy is indeed the magic circle, but what really plays a decisive role is Xu Yi's mechanical engineering knowledge.
This toy was made in his spare time at Senkehaier Academy. It combined part of his mechanical engineering knowledge with the magic circle knowledge he learned in this world, and also used Xu Yi's hobby-piano playing. It is said to be the fusion of the original world and this world, and the level of science and technology represented in it is indeed not low.
However, the two interviewers looked at the piano model and shook their heads at the same time.
"Young man, I'm sorry. Although your toy is very innovative, it still cannot meet our requirements. You..."
Xu Yi frowned and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
People on the continent of Sainz highly respect and pay attention to magic, but most of it is reflected in the destructive power of magic, and there is very little research on the application of magic. Until now, no magician has seen his so-called " The level of technology contained in "Toy" makes it difficult to recognize his magical strength.
Just when the slightly fat interviewer was about to sentence Xu Yi to "death", the door suddenly creaked softly.
The slightly fat interviewer was interrupted by the noise. He raised his head and looked at the door displeased, but immediately whispered in surprise: "Ms. Steele, why are you here?"
Xu Yi turned his head curiously and was equally surprised.
The Miss Steele who suddenly walked in was actually the young girl he met at the gate of the Magic Tower.
After seeing Xu Yi, the girl's face showed a hint of surprise, but she just nodded to Xu Yi, went straight to the interviewer's table, glanced at Xu Yi's application form on the table, picked it up and read it. He nodded, looked at the piano model next to him, turned to Xu Yi and asked, "Did you make this?"
Xu Yi nodded in astonishment.
Judging from Miss Steele's relaxed movements and the name the interviewer just called her, I'm afraid her status is not low.
"Can you let me see it?" Steele pointed to the piano model.
"Of course." A glimmer of hope ignited in Xu Yi's heart, and he once again demonstrated to Steele the process of playing the piano model.
"It's very interesting." After reading it, Steele showed a hint of interest, glanced at Xu Yi, and said to the two interviewers: "Just hire him."
The two interviewers looked at each other and said awkwardly: "Ms. Steele, he only graduated from Suncor Haier Academy and has not passed the qualification certification examination of the Magician's Guild. This seems... not to meet the requirements, right?"
Steele waved his hand casually: "His thinking is very active, which is much better than those old magicians whose heads are stiff. Maybe grandpa can help him."
Hearing what Steele said, the two interviewers looked at each other helplessly. The fatter interviewer coughed lightly and turned to Xu Yida: "This... Mr. Xu Yi, congratulations on passing this application. Excuse me. When can you come here to work?”
Xu Yi was immediately overjoyed and glanced at Steele with gratitude, only to find that Steele was not looking at him at all, but was instead observing the piano model intently.
It seems that to her, this piano model is much more interesting than the designer Xu Yi.
Xu Yi had no choice but to turn to the interviewer, smile and nod.
"anytime."
