After a long time, everyone slowly recovered from the intense light.
After seeing clearly the situation in the examination room, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
In this space covered by magic protection, the entire ground turned into a scorched black, and many places were hit by lightning, creating deep pits of different sizes. Looking at it, it was devastated.
Just from the degree of damage to the floor of the examination room, we can see how terrifying the power of the electrical magic that Xu Yi just released is.
Everyone stared at Xu Yi, who was standing in the middle as if nothing happened, and were speechless for a moment.
"Ah!" At this time, the staff of the Magician Guild responsible for the magic protection of the examination room suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
President Allen frowned and glared at the staff member, and said slightly reproachfully: "What's wrong? What's all the fuss about?"
The staff member swallowed, pointed to the magic protection circle he was responsible for, and said with disbelief: "Yes... President, the magic protection circle... seems to be a little broken."
"ah?"
Now everyone was stunned again.
The function of the magic protection circle is to protect the magic used by the magicians participating in the examination from spreading outside the examination room.
Because those participating in the assessment today are level six to level nine magicians, considering the power of their magic, this magic protection circle was set up by President Allen himself, which is enough to offset the power of an ordinary level nine magic.
And now after Xu Yi released an electric magic, the magic protection circle actually broke!
Could it be that... the power of the electric magic used by Xu Yi exceeded the level of ninth-level magic
President Allen stood up and went to the magic protection circle to check, but he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and explained to everyone with a smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the electric magic Xu Yi used just now is a little special. So it can be offset directly. The magic protection is not destroyed because it is too powerful."
After hearing this explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not because the imitation power used by Xu Yi was too powerful.
If this is really the reason. That proves that he, a seventh-level magician, can actually use magic that is more powerful than a ninth-level magician!
This is too shocking. Of course no one wanted to believe it.
Seeing President Allen check the protective circle, Xu Yi smiled and asked, "Excuse me, President. Did my high-level magic demonstration pass?"
President Allen looked at Xu Yi and laughed dumbly: "You have used such an exaggerated magic. If I still don't let you pass, do you think others will agree?"
Everyone else couldn't help but nod in unison.
If Xu Yi cannot pass such a high-level magic demonstration. Then why did those magicians who passed before pass
Xu Yi chuckled: "I feel that my control of this magic is not very good, so I am not sure whether I can pass it."
"Okay, controlling magic is another matter, but just looking at the power of this magic, you can pass." President Allen looked at the other four great magicians. "Now it is judged that Xu Yi can pass the high-level magic demonstration. I agree that he can pass. What is your opinion?"
Of course, Archmage Camilla and Archmage Aisenka immediately expressed their approval. The other two great magicians looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Therefore, Xu Yi easily passed the high-level magic demonstration that the great magician Camilla was most worried about before.
It's just that the expression of the great magician Camilla looking at Xu Yi has always been very strange, seeming a little angry and a little funny.
There is another difference between the high-level magician assessment and the low-level magician assessment. It is because the number of high-level magicians is originally small, and there is no need to select a certain percentage to pass the assessment like the assessment of low-level magicians. Instead, as long as you really have the corresponding strength, no matter how many you can pass, you will all be approved. pass.
Therefore, although the assessment of high-level magicians also includes practical assessment, it is not as strict as the assessment of low-level magicians.
When entering this assessment phase, although the great magician Camilla did not serve as Xu Yi's assessor due to the principle of avoidance, the great magician Aisenka offered to be responsible for assessing Xu Yi.
Naturally, others would not object, but the great magician Aisenka pretended to take the test. In addition, Xu Yi was now at the level of a seventh-level magician in terms of magic power level and understanding of magic, so it was just as easy. Pass. (Pingnan completed the entire assessment. In the end, except for Xu Yi who passed the seventh-level magician assessment and became a seventh-level magician recognized by the Magicians Union, the passing rate of the other forty-six magicians who participated in the assessment was probably more than half.
Only three of the twelve graduates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who participated in the assessment passed the assessment, and all of them were fifth-level magicians who passed the sixth-level assessment and were upgraded to become sixth-level magicians.
In comparison, it seems that it is not even up to the average level.
However, Xu Yi was not disappointed with this result, but was rather surprised.
Senior magicians are quite self-aware of their own strength. These researchers have told Xu Yi before that their current strength improvement is not enough to upgrade, so Xu Yi did not originally think that they would pass this assessment.
Now, unexpectedly, three institutes have passed the assessment and been promoted. It is really unexpected.
Besides, the advertising effect Xu Yi wanted has been achieved, so the other things are just minutiae, and he doesn't care.
After the assessment was over, the other magicians who took part in the assessment left the examination room, but Xu Yi was left alone.
President Allen asked Xu Yi to follow him and the other four great magicians into a room behind the examination room, and held an impromptu meeting.
As for the topic of the meeting, it was about the details of the Patent Act.
Xu Yi didn't have much say in other issues. At first, he just listened honestly.
However, when discussing how much should be charged for magic patent rights, President Allen named Xu Yi and asked him to express his opinion.
"Uh... Dear great magicians, regarding this issue, I think there are two solutions that are more suitable." Xu Yidao.
"There are actually two kinds?" President Allen was a little surprised. "tell me the story."
"The first one. The patent protection fee is not linked to the patent royalties. The Magician's Guild charges a fixed fee for each magic research that applies for a patent. As for how to distinguish it, it is based on the importance of the magic research. Rating. Give a fixed amount for each level.”
"How should the amount be determined? Different magic research has different difficulty levels. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to give them the same amount." President Allen asked again.
"This is simple. For example, if there is a magic research application for magic patent protection, it is about first-level magic. After evaluation, it is not so important and difficult. Then it will be rated as first-level, and only ten gold coins will be charged every year. But the other The magic research applied for patent protection is about level five magic. Generally speaking, it is more difficult and important than the previous one, so it will be rated as level five, and it will cost fifty gold coins or more every year." Xu Yi replied. road.
"But there is another problem. If a magician develops a relatively important magic, but cannot afford high-level magic patent protection fees, then wouldn't the patent protection be meaningless?" The person who asked this question was another person. One of the two great magicians that Xu Yi didn't know before was named Samuel Torres.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, Great Magician Torres, if a magician can't even afford a mere patent protection fee, do you think he has enough funds to research novel magic?"
The great magician Torres was stunned. Can't help but nod.
Indeed, researching magic is a very expensive thing, especially researching novel magic theories that have no previous experience.
"Okay. Xu Yi, please come up with another plan." President Allen urged.
"Yes. As for the second option, the Magician's Guild does not limit the amount of patent protection fees, but the magicians who apply for patent protection decide it themselves."
"Decide by yourself?" Several great magicians were all stunned. "How to decide?"
“It’s very simple, if you think the patent protection you want to apply for is very important, then you pay more patent protection fees to the Magicians’ Guild, and then the Magicians’ Guild will determine the fees required to use this patent according to a certain ratio. In other words, the more you pay, the more compensation you receive and the royalties paid by others.”
Several great magicians considered it carefully for a while, and the great magician Aisenka couldn't help but praise: "I like this plan. It's like making money. If you want to make more, you have to invest more."
"But I have always been worried about one problem, that is, in the future, more and more magicians will apply for patent protection for their magic research. By then, any magician who wants to learn new magic will have to hand over a large amount of money first. Money will do?" The person who asked this question was another great magician named Como Truchi whom Xu Yi had not met before.
Xu Yi glanced at him and thought that he must be one of the more conservative magicians in the magicians union who opposed the passage of the patent bill.
"Your Excellency, Great Magician Truchi, the problem you are worried about may exist, but have you ever discovered that even before the Patent Protection Act, it was not that easy for magicians to learn a new magic?" Xu Yi asked back.
"That's much better than having to spend money to buy it, right?" said the great magician Truchi.
"No, you are wrong." Xu Yi shook his head and said bluntly. "In fact, magicians usually cherish the new magic they have developed, treating it as a private collection and not leaking it easily. So in fact, after so many years, the level of magic in the entire continent has not improved compared to thousands of years ago. The reason for the great improvement is that even if some magicians have developed new magic and have a new understanding of magic, they are unwilling to share it. At most, they will only teach it to a few of their students. . But other magicians have not had access to his new research and discoveries."
The great magician Camilla sighed softly, nodded and said: "Xu Yi is right. I have always felt sorry for this situation before. If everyone can share their magic research, then Sainz The level of magic on the mainland has probably far exceeded that of the original elves. But last time I met some elves through Xu Yi, I found that thousands of years have passed, and our human magic is still inferior in many aspects. The magic mastered by the elves."
The other great magicians remained silent.
As great magicians, their vision is of course very different from that of low-level magicians.
In fact, they are much clearer than Xu Yi about the reasons that restrict the improvement of human magic level.
Xu Yi smiled and continued: "So, compared to trying to learn but not being able to learn the great magician Truchi, being able to spend money to buy it is already a very big improvement. The magician's union is impossible I hope that all magicians can be so noble and selfless and share their magic research. Then tell magicians that you can sell your magic research for money. I think that with the motivation of money, not only will it be promoted. Many magicians share their research findings, which can also encourage more magicians to devote more energy to magic research, and because of the support of money, they have the ability to conduct more magic research. "
"Bang!" The great magician Aisenka slammed the table and said with joy: "This is what I have always wanted to say. You used to always accuse me of falling into the abyss of gold coins, but have you ever thought about it? How difficult was our life before becoming a great magician? If we had enough gold coins, maybe we would become a great magician faster!"
Regarding the words of the great magician Aisenka, the other four great magicians thought for a moment, but found that they could not refute them.
If a magician wants to improve his strength, in addition to his talent, the most important thing is to constantly conduct magic research.
Magic research requires money. If you don’t have money for research, you will naturally improve slower than others. This is an axiom in all magician circles.
The silence in the room lasted for a while, and President Allen coughed lightly and said: "Everyone should have no doubts about passing the Patent Act. What we need to confirm now is, of the two options mentioned by Xu Yi, which one do you support more? What kind?"
The other four great magicians looked at each other, and the great magician Aisenka said: "I support the second option."
Then the great magician Camilla said that both options were acceptable and he had no objection.
Great Magician Torres and Great Magician Truchi did not express their opinions clearly. They felt that the two plans mentioned by Xu Yi were very reasonable, and they could report both plans to the Magician Union Headquarters on behalf of Lampa. The opinions of the Kingdom’s Magician’s Guild branch.
"Very good, let's submit both of these plans." President Allen made the decision, then turned to Xu Yi and said: "Xu Yi, I have to ask you to do me a favor. We will make a corresponding analysis report and submit it to the headquarters together.”
Xu Yi naturally agreed readily.
How could he miss the opportunity to participate in something that could leave his mark on the Magicians Guild Headquarters and have a great impact on Xinfei Merchant
