"What? You don't understand why I want to close the magician tower?" Camilla, the great magician, asked with a smile as she looked at the two people who came in a hurry.
Xu Yi and Steele shook their heads together.
"Of course we don't understand!" Steele hugged one of Camilla's great magician's arms with a concerned look on his face. "Grandpa, haven't you always said that the Magician Tower is your life's work? You want to rely on it to study the mysteries of magic and strive to become a magician, or even a grand magician? Why is it suddenly closed now? Do you want to give up? Study magic?"
"Who said I'm going to give up studying magic?" Camilla, the great magician, glared.
"Then why did you close the Magician Tower?" Steele asked in confusion. "You built this magician tower with great difficulty. If you close it, how can you study magic?"
Camilla the Great Magician shook his head, stretched out his hand to touch Steele's head, and said with a smile: "Steele, your understanding of magic is still too shallow. Some people have stipulated that to study magic, you must In the magician tower? For example, isn’t it the same with Xu Yi’s magic institute?”
Xu Yi and Steele were startled at the same time. Xu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, you are not planning to go to the Magic Research Institute to study magic, are you?"
Archmage Camilla glanced at him: "What? Not welcome?"
Xu Yi let out a "Grumbling" sound, swallowed hard, and stared at the great magician Camilla with an expression of disbelief.
"Are you... are you kidding? The Magic Research Institute is... but it only studies the magic arrays needed for magic machinery. If you come..."
"I just want to study the magic circle needed for magic machinery, isn't it possible?" Camilla, the great magician, glared at Xu Yi and asked.
"this… "
Xu Yi and Steele looked at each other and thought this was really weird.
Just at this time last year, Archmage Camilla expressed her deep hatred for combining magic with business, and even scolded Xu Yi several times for this.
Although starting from this year, the attitude of the great magician Camilla has gradually changed, and he has also begun to agree to Xu Yi's request, and has cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in completing the magic circle research on magic machinery. He also asked the magicians in the magician tower to assist in research, thus helping Xu Yi solve many problems.
But this can only be regarded as the great magician Camilla taking time out to help after studying magic. It is completely different from him joining the magic institute.
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" Steele asked in surprise. "Are you really planning to work at the Magic Research Institute?"
"Yes." Camilla, the great magician, nodded seriously. Without any intention of seeing a joke, he said to Xu Yi: "Hey, boy, do you want me to go?"
"Ah? Welcome... of course you are welcome!" Xu Yi was surprised and happy when he saw that the great magician Camilla was serious, and nodded repeatedly. "Your Excellency, Great Magician, if you are willing to join our Magic Research Institute, it would be my honor and the honor of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce! But Your Excellency, Great Magician, I still don't understand why you suddenly did this? Could it be that you Is this decision the reason for suddenly closing the Magician Tower?”
Steele looked at the great magician Camilla without blinking. His eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing the two people looking puzzled, Camilla the Great Magician knew that if he didn't explain clearly, these two guys would never let him go today, so he pointed to the stool beside him and signaled Sit down and talk.
"Where should I start..." The three of them sat down separately. Archmage Camilla thought for a moment and suddenly asked Steele: "Steele, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"
"Hometown?" Steele was startled, thought for a moment, and replied: "It seems like three months since I last went back... Oh no, I haven't been back for almost four months. What's wrong? Grandpa, you suddenly mentioned your hometown. Do you want to Would you like me to go back with you? That’s good. It’s just outside the city and not far away. You can go there anytime you want.”
"That's not what I meant." Archmage Camilla shook her head. "Let me ask you, did you notice any changes in your hometown when you went back last time?"
"Changes in my hometown?" Steele frowned slightly. After thinking carefully for a while, he replied with some confusion: "There is no change... Oh! If we really want to talk about changes, does it count that my second aunt's cousin gave birth to a son?"
"Although it counts... but it's not the same thing as what I want to say." Camilla, the great magician, slowly shook his head. "If you go back now, you will find that your hometown is completely different from before."
"Completely different? Not that exaggerated, right?" Steele was a little surprised. "Myrdan Village has been like that since I was a child. Nothing has changed."
"That's because you haven't gone back to see it now, nor have you inquired seriously." Camilla, the great magician, turned to look at Xu Yi. "Actually, the changes in Mildan Village are really great now, and the reason for these changes is actually because of this boy."
"Because of Xu Yi?" Steele looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly showed an expression of realization.
"I remembered, Mildan Village, right? I have an impression of this name. If I remember correctly, it should be on the list of the first phase of the Bangta City Suburban Renovation Plan. Hmm... President Cruz seemed to have I also discussed that this Mirdan Village seems to be completely demolished. "
"Total demolition?" Steele was stunned and couldn't help but glare at Xu Yi. "You didn't even tell me such a big thing!"
Xu Yi spread his hands with a wry smile: "You only said that you and the Great Magician are locals of Bangta City, but they are not residents of the city. How do I know that Mirdan Village is your hometown?"
Steele thought about it again and realized that he had indeed not mentioned this to Xu Yi. Then he turned from anger to smile: "Okay, it's my fault. But Xu Yi, Mildan Village is my hometown, you have to let me President Cruz, please be nice to them during the demolition, don’t treat them badly.”
"How could we treat them badly? The demolition plan that Cruz and I discussed fully considered the subsequent living arrangements of the villagers in these demolished villages. It will only make their lives better in the future. If you don't believe me, you ask Your Majesty the Great Magician," Xu Yi called Qu Dao.
"Well, I can testify to this." Archmage Camilla nodded. "Now the villagers in the village are craning their necks in anticipation of the demolition."
"Why?" Steele was a little strange. "Mirdan Village is a place where everyone has lived for so long. Why are everyone so willing to leave? Don't they have any nostalgia for it?"
Camilla, the great magician, glanced at Steele: "There are greater benefits to moving away, why should we linger? According to the contract signed by the affairs officer sent by the city lord's palace and them, the Amri Chamber of Commerce will choose another place. Build a new batch of houses for them... what kind of houses are they?"
"We are still building a house." Xu Yi quickly reminded.
"Yes, they are also building a house. I have seen this house. Not only is it beautiful, but it also uses very good bricks and stones, plus some new technology from the Armley Chamber of Commerce, oh. It is called cement reinforced concrete pouring, and it is very strong. . It’s much better than the dilapidated wooden houses and stone houses in the village. Tell me, do you want to change it?”
"Is it really that good?" Steele looked at Xu Yi in disbelief.
Xu Yi nodded and said: "It's so good. In addition to arranging new residences for them, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amli Chamber of Commerce have promised to give priority to hiring villagers from the demolished villages to work in our two chambers of commerce." Based on the salaries our two chambers of commerce currently offer to workers, I think many villagers will think this is a good thing.”
"Well, that must be a good thing." Steele breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and asked the great magician Camilla: "Grandpa, is this the change you said? But I still don't Understood. Does this have anything to do with your decision to close the Magician Tower and join the Magic Research Institute?"
"Of course it does matter." Camilla, the great magician, let out a sigh of relief, with an expression on her face that was a little sad and nostalgic. "When I returned to the village, my relatives and villagers respected me. But I know that they were more afraid of me, afraid of my identity as a great magician. But a few days ago, I When I went back, I found that although the villagers still respected me, it was different from before. The respect showed closeness, and when they talked to me, they always mentioned that I have a good granddaughter. "
"What does it have to do with me?" Steele asked in shock.
"Because you have an excellent boyfriend. His name is Xu Yi, and Xu Yi is the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Camilla, the great magician, said.
Xu Yi touched his nose in embarrassment: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, you don't need to praise me so much, right? I'll be embarrassed."
"Don't be embarrassed, because compared to how much the villagers praise you, my praise is nothing. In their eyes, you have become their savior."
Archmage Camilla paused. He seemed to be recalling what he had seen in Mirdan Village.
"Because of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are now many more job opportunities inside and outside Bangta City than before. In the past, villagers could only work in the fields every year, which was not only tiring, but also had little income. But now they not only have the magic power of farmland Machinery makes farming much easier than before, and you can free up time to do other work. Now the life of every family in the village is much better than before. When I went back, I even saw that every household had meat for every meal. It can be said that all this is due to you, Xu Yi.”
Xu Yi felt really embarrassed now, hehehe laughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, you really praised me too much. I just did what I wanted to do, and the results after that were just Let it be, I didn’t think too much about it.”
"But the lives of the villagers have improved because of what you did. This is also a fact, isn't it?" Camilla the Great Magician said sternly. "Not only Mirdan Village, I also visited several surrounding villages, and everyone's life has improved. Now as long as you are not particularly lazy, everyone can live a much better life than before. This change, but It’s just too big.”
Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty the Great Magician, this is the power of industry I said. Developing industry can greatly improve productivity, which will naturally improve people's quality of life. . All of this is a natural consequence and is not surprising.”
The great magician Camilla sighed softly: "I didn't understand what you said before. But after returning to the village and seeing it this time, I have to admit that what you said before was so right. We magicians are all day long. You immersed yourself in studying magic, but the magic you researched only had destructive power and could not help people's lives. However, you used magic to study the magic industry, but you changed the lives of many people inside and outside Bangta City in such a short period of time. In comparison, this great magician like me is really useless."
"You can't say that." Xu Yi quickly comforted him. "Your Majesty the Great Magician, many of the magic machines developed by our Chamber of Commerce are related to you. How can you say that you are useless?"
"If I concentrate on my research, I will only get more results." Camilla, the great magician, said seriously. "So after coming back from Mirdan Village, I thought carefully about it for two days and decided that from now on, I will devote all my efforts to researching magic circles related to magic machines. Xu Yi, you are right, magicians are not just killing machines, they can also be improved people's lives."
"But grandpa, you don't have to close the magician tower and join the magic institute, right?" Steele couldn't help but said. "Even if it remains the same, you can still devote all your energy to researching magical machinery, right?"
The great magician Camilla laughed and gave Xu Yi a meaningful look.
"Steele, you don't understand what I mean. I think this kid must understand."
Xu Yi looked at Steele who cast doubts and unconvinced looks at him, smiled slightly and said: "Yes, of course I understand. In fact, Steele, you should also understand, because the choice of the Great Magician, to put it simply, Just to pursue advertising effect.”
