"The achievements of the elves in magic? If it was before the race war, it must be much better than us humans. But after the race war, more than three thousand years have passed, and the current magic level of the elves, It may not be much higher than us humans.”
"I can't see it. The elves' lifespan is much longer than that of us humans, and their inheritance is more complete. In addition, the elves are not as entangled with all kinds of chores as we are. They can always concentrate on studying magic, so their magic The level will only get higher and higher.”
"I'm afraid that's not right. The creativity of the elves is not as good as that of humans. We humans have been able to carry out various innovative and improved research on magic in these three thousand years, but the elves can be said to be very few. This was reflected before the racial war. It’s obvious. According to me, the level of magic among us humans is probably much higher than that of the elves.”
"Hmph! Creativity? You guys are always proud of human creativity, but who of you can tell me why we have to wait until Xu Yi for things like magic machines that are very novel but not actually complicated? A mere fourth-level magician will be studied after they appear, but none of us great magicians have studied it?"
As soon as President Allen said this long sentence, several people present fell silent.
This is a regular high-level meeting of the Lampali Kingdom's Magician's Union. The only five great magicians in the Lampali Kingdom attending the meeting are.
The original theme of the meeting was to make a summary report on this year's Magician's Guild Qualification Certification Assessment, allowing the four great magicians except President Allen to provide their opinions.
However, when discussing the specific situation of this year's assessment, several great magicians discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, the number of low-level magicians taking part in the assessment has increased significantly this year, and has even nearly doubled compared to last year. Compared with the year before last, it had increased by nearly three times.
This is a very strange phenomenon. Because in the circle of magicians, low-level magicians naturally account for the vast majority, but in fact, most of these low-level magicians are very old, but they still have not achieved much breakthrough in the level of magic. , a magician who is considered to have little future.
For this kind of magician, because they all know that their magic talent is not enough, it will be difficult to improve in this life, so most magicians have basically given up the idea of improving their magician level. And even if you want to, it is difficult to improve due to the limitations of magic talent, so in fact, you will basically not take part in the qualification level certification assessment of the Magician Guild.
Generally speaking, those who come to take the low-level magician qualification certification examination are mostly young and talented magicians.
But this year is different. There are suddenly more magicians signing up for this year's qualification certification examination, and many of them are old magicians who are considered to have no future.
You must know that the magician qualification certification examination is not free. It will cost five gold coins just to register. Not to mention that you must come to Anvilmar City to participate in the qualification certification examination. The travel expenses and phone calls are required for a trip. Food, accommodation, etc. are also expensive.
So unless you feel that your magic strength has been greatly improved. You are sure to pass the higher-level qualification examination, otherwise no magician will waste time, energy and money to take the qualification examination.
This year, a large number of extra magicians participated in the low-level magician qualification certification examination. Many of them obviously did not improve significantly in their magic strength, but they still came to participate.
There are even a few magicians who cheat and risk being expelled from the Magicians Union after being discovered. Also trying to pass the higher level qualification examination.
This was really strange, so during the summary report, several great magicians discussed this phenomenon.
The reason why these low-level magicians do this. Of course, it is because there are benefits to be gained, otherwise no one would waste time, energy and money. Even taking huge risks.
But where is this benefit
After discussing for a while, the great magician Aisenka proposed a possibility. That is related to the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce established in various parts of the Lampali Kingdom.
Driven by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, almost everyone in the Lampali Kingdom has seen the huge benefits and potential of the existence of magic machines. Therefore, especially this year, magic machines have sprung up in various cities in the Lampali Kingdom. There are various chambers of commerce that produce magic machines.
Since it is producing magic machinery, of course it will require a large number of magicians to be responsible for setting up the magic circles.
As for setting up a magic circle, in fact, as long as it is not a particularly advanced or powerful magic circle, ordinary low-level magicians can accomplish it, because simply setting up a magic circle does not require high magic power.
As a result, the demand for low-level magicians in various parts of the Lampali Kingdom suddenly increased.
Before this, the lives of low-level magicians in the Lampali Kingdom were no better than those of ordinary people. Apart from working as guards in the Chamber of Commerce, there was almost no other good way out.
Now that there is such an easy and simple job as drawing a magic circle, and it is also related to the study of magic, it has naturally been warmly welcomed by all low-level magicians.
Of course, the choice is two-way. Magicians can choose which chamber of commerce to work for, and the chamber of commerce will also choose which magician to hire.
Even if it is the simplest job of drawing a magician, of course, a higher-level magician is much better than a low-level magician.
What's more, many ambitious chambers of commerce hope to develop their own unique magic machines like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and make a lot of money. Of course, they need more advanced magicians.
As for the Chamber of Commerce, how to judge the strength level of a magician? The best certificate is naturally the qualification certification assessment of the Magicians Guild.
As a result, the number of people in the Magician's Guild's qualification certification examination last year has increased, and this year there has been a big explosion. The number of magicians who came to participate in the assessment accounted for almost three thirds of the magicians registered in the Magician's Guild. Divide into two!
There are even many magicians who have never participated in the Magician Guild Qualification Certification Assessment before and are not even on the Magician Guild registration form.
"Of course they will be active. Now there is a clear price tag in the city of Anvilmar. Regardless of the junior magician, the minimum monthly salary for the second-level magician is ten gold coins. The minimum monthly salary for the third-level magician is fifteen gold coins, and the minimum monthly salary for the fourth-level magician is fifteen gold coins. The minimum monthly salary has been increased to twenty-five gold coins. As for magicians of level five and above, the price is negotiable.”
After hearing these words from the great magician Aisenka, the other four great magicians, including the great magician Camilla, were all stunned.
Regarding this phenomenon, the great magician of Truchi, a relatively conservative tradition, could not help but criticize.
In his opinion, the job of magicians is to study magic. These low-level magicians do not concentrate on studying magic, but because these chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery offer a monthly salary of only ten gold coins, they suddenly become like this. Being active really loses the dignity of a magician.
In response to this, the great magician Esenka sneered: "Can dignity be used as food? These low-level magicians don't have special financial support from the kingdom like us, and it is even less likely that they can get large sums of money based on their fame. . Don’t forget. They are also human beings and they have to live. What’s more, even studying magic costs a lot of gold coins. If you don’t let them find ways to make money, why don’t you let them wait for death
Regarding the rebuttal of the great magician Esenka, the great magician Truchi was speechless.
Later, under the testimony of the great magician Camilla, the other three great magicians became more clear that the reason for this strange phenomenon was indeed due to the demand of the magic machinery chambers of commerce that had emerged in various places in the Lampali Kingdom.
Because of this, the five great magicians couldn't help but bring the topic to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Then naturally it was extended to Xu Yi.
After talking about Xu Yi, the great magician Aisenka asked the great magician Camilla about Xu Yi's current whereabouts.
Because Xu Yi did not come to participate in this year's magician qualification assessment, the other three great magicians were also very concerned about what Xu Yi was doing.
When they learned from the great magician Camilla that Xu Yi had gone to the Principality of Standing for investment inspection, several great magicians could not help but express their regret at the same time.
Because in their opinion. Xu Yi's magic talent is extremely high. If he is willing to concentrate on studying magic, maybe it won't be long before a sixth great magician appears in the Lampali Kingdom.
Then I heard the great magician Camilla mention that Xu Yi wanted to discuss cooperation with the Moon Shadow Tribe, an elf tribe in the Principality of Standing. The topic of several great magicians turned to the discussion of the magic of the elves, and then there was a debate about who was stronger between the level of magic of the elves and the level of human magic.
About this question. Archmage Camilla and President Allen remain neutral and feel that the level of both parties should be about the same.
Archmage Truchi and Archmage Torres are more conservative and cautious. It is believed that the level of elven magic, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is relatively high.
As for the great magician Essenka, he is a radical and a full-fledged humanist. He confidently believes that the level of human magic has long surpassed that of the elves.
But when President Allen asked why the magic machine was not developed by great magicians like them, but Xu Yi was the first to develop it, the other four great magicians could only be speechless.
Especially the great magician Aisenka couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
Compared with the other four great magicians who have always only focused on magic, the great magician Aisenka actually pays great attention to the combination of magic and commercial applications. However, he has been focusing on it for so many years, but he has never considered magic machinery. Instead, Xu Yi, a low-level magician whose magic level was not worth mentioning in his opinion, was the first to research it.
"Well... it can only be said that we have all become rigid in our thinking..." After being silent for a while, the great magician Aisenka twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile. "And... I have to say, Xu Yi is really a genius. There are many places where even I can only feel ashamed."
The corners of Archmage Camilla's lips raised, and she couldn't help but smile.
Xu Yi is now Steele's husband, and he has watched her grow up little by little. Praising Xu Yi makes him even happier than praising him.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if this phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing..." President Allen thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Although under the leadership of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so many production magic machines have appeared. The Chamber of Commerce has enabled many low-level magicians to find good jobs smoothly, which has solved a long-standing headache for our magician union. However, in this way, I am afraid that low-level magicians will choose to work in these chambers of commerce in the future. , so he is more inclined to study the magic circle, but no longer focuses on the study of magic. This may not be a good thing... "
"Studying magic arrays can also improve your magic level." Great Magician Camilla said calmly: "I haven't told you yet, since I closed the magic tower and entered the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to concentrate on studying magic arrays, my magic level has improved. He has improved very quickly and should now have the strength of a fourth-level great magician." (To be continued...)
