"That's right, I don't have enough gold coins now, and I can't even support the operation of this magic tower." Hearing Xu Yi's cold revelation, the great magician Camilla didn't look too injured, just gently Sighing, he happily admitted this reality. "But Xu Yi, I don't like the smell of money mixed with magic. This is my principle. You don't need to bother changing my mind."
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, may I ask, why do you think... when magic and money are combined, there will definitely be a smell of copper? In my opinion, this is a complete fallacy. Just like What I just said is that money is innocent, and how to use it depends entirely on the will of the person who uses it. You think that magic and money are not combined well, but I think it is the opposite if magic and money are combined properly. Together, there will be wonderful changes.”
"Wonderful?" Archmage Camilla snorted heavily. "Let a guy like you, who has a strong talent as a magician, be reduced to a vulgar businessman. Is this the so-called wonderful change?"
Xu Yi frowned a little deeper: "Your Majesty the Great Mage, your prejudice is too serious. Perhaps in the tradition of Sainz continent, the status of magicians is much higher than that of businessmen. But in my opinion, Sainz What the merchants on the continent of Enns do is much better than the magicians.”
"Nonsense!" Camilla, the great magician, slammed the table hard, stood up angrily, pointed at Xu Yi and scolded: "How dare you say that magicians are inferior to those dirty businessmen? Those businessmen can What are they doing? They only steal other people's money out of conscience. Their eyes and minds are filled with dirty gold coins. They don't even care about their own honor. You actually take advantage of such a guy! Are you trying to compare yourself to a magician?"
"Then your Excellency, Great Mage, what are the magicians doing?" Xu Yi sneered: "Continuously researching more powerful magic, and then killing people faster and more efficiently?"
"You..." Camilla, the great magician, once again scolded Xu Yi for talking nonsense, but suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly discovered that Xu Yi was absolutely right.
Yes, the status of magicians on the Sainz continent is very high, but why is this? Of course, it is because the power of magicians far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the most obvious point is that on the battlefield, the lethality caused by magicians using magic is far greater than that of ordinary soldiers.
In the history of Sainz Continent, there have been countless wars between different countries. In each of these wars, magicians played a vital role.
There are even some particularly powerful magicians, such as magisters and even grand magister-level magicians. Just one or two can change the situation of a battle and thus affect the entire war.
So for a long time, the magicians on the continent of Sainz have been constantly respected and respected by people, and their status has been continuously improved.
But no matter how high the status of magicians is, it cannot change the fact that Xu Yi is absolutely right. What magicians have always done is to constantly research more powerful magic.
As for why you study powerful magic? Of course, it is to be able to play a more powerful role on the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, it means killing people faster and more efficiently.
Thinking of this, Camilla the Great Magician's face that was originally flushed because of Xu Yi's words instantly turned pale, and the hand pointing at Xu Yi began to shake violently. After a while, he sat back on the stool with a plop. , speechless for a long while.
Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly, thinking that if it weren't for the special circumstances, he would not be willing to speak so frankly in front of the great magician Camilla.
But this is indeed what he really thinks in his heart.
He can understand why magicians have such a high status on the continent of Sainz, but this does not mean that he will agree with this.
In Xu Yi's view, it is important to have strong power because it can protect yourself and the things you care about when necessary.
But beyond that, what is actually more important is ordinary life.
Human beings have moved from barbarism to civilization because they want to pursue a better life.
Driven by this, human beings have invented various tools, from the ancient Stone Age to the highly developed civilization era on earth.
With the development of human civilization, human beings have changed from being hungry in the early days to having enough food and clothing. They can even travel to the sky, the sea, and even travel in space.
If this is lost, then human civilization will lose its motivation to move forward, and I am afraid that it will still be no different from wild beasts at this time.
The power of magic is very powerful, but Xu Yi is more willing to use the power of magic to improve people's quality of life.
So he combined the power of magic and used his mechanical knowledge to invent the magic fan, so that people in Bangta City could enjoy a cool breeze on hot summer days.
Then he invented the magic harvester, which greatly improved the efficiency of harvesting wheat. It also gave Viscount Leslie and other a group of nobles enough confidence to plant a larger area of wheat in the coming year, thus indirectly increasing Bonta City's food production. .
Next, he will invent more kinds of magic machines to help people in this world get a better life through these magic machines.
He even hopes to establish a complete industrial system on Sainz Continent so that people in Sainz Continent can live the same life as ordinary people on earth.
Xu Yi knows that it is very difficult to realize this ideal, but he will not back down.
Because in the process of inventing these magic machines, he not only rediscovered the pleasure of studying mechanical knowledge that he had lost for three years, but also gained the pleasure of changing the world.
Now, the first thing he wants to change is the mind of the great magician Camilla.
"Your Majesty the Great Magician, with all due respect, although merchants, as you said, have their eyes and minds filled with gold coins, it is precisely because of this that they will try their best to produce and sell goods. Also. It is precisely because of these profit drivers that items on the continent of Sainz can circulate with each other, and people will not always face the dilemma of lacking this or that. Perhaps there are many scum among them who connect their own in order to earn gold coins. Conscience is betrayed, but we can’t deny the changes they have brought, can we?”
Camilla, the great magician, was silent, her face constantly changing. After a long time, she suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, I admit that what you said makes sense, but it has nothing to do with what you really want to say, right? Tell me, what exactly do you want to say?"
Xu Yi carefully observed the face of Camilla the Great Magician and found that he seemed to have regained his composure, so he couldn't help but laugh.
After all, the great magician Camilla is a wise old man who has experienced the world, and he will not be knocked down so easily.
"Your Majesty the Great Mage, let's return to the actual problem. You don't have enough gold coins to support the consumption of the magic tower, so have you cooperated with me? I can definitely provide you with enough gold coins. Hey, I won't hide it from you. "My recent earnings are pretty good," Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph, you asked me to cooperate with you in business again." Camilla, the great magician, snorted coldly and waved her hand. "No need to say more, I said this is my principle and will not change it."
"Your Majesty the Great Magician, why don't you just listen to what I have to say?" Xu Yi continued. "I think the reason why you hate combining magic and business is because once you combine business, it will affect your magic research, and secondly, you feel that helping businessmen make ordinary people's money will make you feel uneasy. I Is that right?"
Archmage Camilla snorted again, but did not express any objection.
"Very good, if these are your concerns, then I can tell you that there will be no problems in these two aspects at all when you cooperate with me."
"Let's not talk about whether it will affect my magic research. If I cooperate with you, won't you make ordinary people's money?" Camilla, the great magician, asked in a muffled voice. "Do you think I would believe your childish reasons?"
Hearing the looseness in Camilla's great magician's tone, Xu Yi chuckled, took out a blueprint from his arms, and placed it on the table in front of Camilla's great magician.
"Of course I won't say that I won't make money from ordinary people, but if I told you that those people are eager for me to make their money, what would you think?"
"Are you kidding?" Camilla, the great magician, glared. "How can anyone in this world not want others to make their own money?"
"It's simple, because they need something, and no one can give it to them except me. These things are particularly important to them. Do you think they would care about me earning a little bit in such a situation?" Money?" Xu Yi smiled.
"How could such a thing exist?" Camilla, the great magician, glared at Xu Yi, but still couldn't help but focus on the drawing.
After scanning it twice, the great magician Camilla asked in surprise: "What is this? Why does it look so strange? What is it used for?"
Xu Yi thought to himself that he had heard this question countless times since he started inventing magic machines.
"Well, this thing is the very special thing I just told you. With this thing, it will solve many problems that have been bothering them for a long time. Even if they know that I will make money from this, they will not You will definitely feel grateful to me." Unconsciously, Xu Yi came to the side of the great magician Camilla, leaned over the drawing and began to explain. "First of all, this thing is called a magic scarifier..."
