"It turns out he is President Allen's son. No wonder he looks familiar." The great magician Ferguson smiled and nodded to Anke Allen. "I originally wanted to visit President Allen after meeting President Xu, but I didn't expect to meet his son first. How is President Allen doing recently?"
Anke Allen quickly bowed and bowed in return: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Great Magician. My father has been in good spirits recently, and his magic strength has also increased. All the affairs of the union are also going very smoothly, which makes me, a son, feel relieved." ”
"Oh? President Allen's magic power has improved? I wonder if he has achieved a breakthrough in level?" Great Magician Ferguson asked with interest.
"I don't know about this. My father just said that because he has been studying magic machines for the past two years, he has gained some experience in magic research. He also mentioned that his strength has increased, but he didn't tell him in detail. I."
"Is it related to magic machines again?" Great Magician Ferguson turned to look at Xu Yi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and said with emotion: "President Xu, I originally thought that the magic machines of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce were only very useful in improving the lives of ordinary people. It’s helpful. I didn’t expect it to help us magicians improve their abilities. This is really surprising.”
Xu Yi laughed and said, "You're flattered. President Allen's improvement in strength is also due to his own dedicated research. Magical machinery and the like can at most just help him inspire a little more."
"No, it is extremely rare for magicians who have reached our level to be able to inspire more in magic research. I have always been surprised that Magister Camilla has not made any major breakthroughs in decades, but here In the past few years, I have made breakthroughs one after another, and even became a respected magician. Now that I think about it, it may be related to helping your chamber of commerce research magic machinery."
"I think so. This is just the result of Magister Camilla's accumulated efforts, which just happened to bear fruit within the past few years."
Xu Yi's response was not purely out of humility. The more important reason was that he still didn't understand the meaning of the sudden arrival of the great magician Ferguson.
Xu Yi was very happy when he received the news that the Marquis of Southgaard was coming to inspect the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again, because it meant that the Marquis of Southgaard was obviously determined to come and truly discuss cooperation matters with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ,
This also means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has made a good start in the Malo Empire. It laid a good foundation for the future promotion and development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Malo Empire.
Moreover, Marquis Southgaard's attitude towards the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and Magic Machinery is very positive, which is completely opposite to the attitude of the Candela Empire.
If we cooperate with the Marquis of Southgaard, the magical machinery will be able to be successfully promoted in the Malo Empire.
As long as magic machinery can be fully promoted in one of the two major empires of Sainz continent, Xu Yi can take a big step towards his ideal of popularizing magic machinery on the entire continent.
Moreover, if magic machines can be popularized in the Malo Empire, then the Candela Empire, one of the two major empires, will obviously also be affected, and it is very likely to significantly improve the current extremely difficult development environment of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire.
However, after the Marquis of Southgaard sent a message, the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union also sent a message, saying that the Mainland Magician Union Headquarters would also send a union management council member from the Sky City. Christopher Ferguson, one of the three congressmen, came to meet with Xu Yi.
The news did not explain what the great Ferguson magician was here to do, but it only stated that he would negotiate with Xu Yi on behalf of the Magician Union Headquarters, without revealing anything else.
This seems a bit strange.
It is said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has Magister Camilla, who can be regarded as the highest-level magister in the entire continent. The Magicians Guild specially sent a great magician here, but just to see Xu Yi. Rather than coming here for Magister Camilla, it is really puzzling.
What is even more strange is that it is pointed out that the great magician Ferguson will come together with the Marquis of Southgaard.
Xu Yi was very confused about how the two of them were connected, so it was natural to be cautious when the purpose was unclear.
"Speaking of which, President Xu, how many magicians are working for your New Flying Chamber of Commerce now?" Great Magician Ferguson suddenly changed the subject.
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully: "So far, including myself, the total is 2,736."
"Two thousand seven hundred and thirty-six?" The great magician Ferguson showed a surprised look on his face, obviously very surprised by this number. "President Xu, I think...except for the armies of various countries on the continent, there is probably no other organization in the entire continent that has as many magicians as your Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling wary in his heart.
The hidden meaning in Ferguson's words...could it be a warning
The organization with the most magicians outside the military of each country on the continent
This title is not a good thing for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because it is too easy for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be extra vigilant.
"You are too generous." Xu Yi laughed. "Although our Chamber of Commerce currently has a large number of magicians, most of them are only low-level magicians of the third or fourth level. They are completely incomparable with the armies of those countries. Besides, they only work in our Chamber of Commerce. That’s all, he won’t work for the army like the magicians in the army.”
"Really?" Great Magician Ferguson smiled, pondered for a moment, and continued: "President Xu, in fact, within our union headquarters, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has always had a very high evaluation."
"Oh? That's really pleasing. But can you tell me why?" Xu Yi and the others sitting around the dinner table all looked interested.
The Continental Magicians Union is the unified organization of all magicians on the entire Sainz continent. It has great power on the continent, and in some cases even has more say than the two empires.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can now be regarded as the top chamber of commerce in several nearby countries. However, it is still not considered top-notch among the chambers of commerce in the entire continent. Why is it taken so seriously by the Magicians Guild Headquarters
Only the Marquis of Southgaard smiled. He seemed to know exactly what Ferguson was going to say next.
"The reason is very simple. It lies in the number of 2,736 you just mentioned, and also in the fact that most of them are low-level magicians of around three or four levels." Ferguson's Great Magic The teacher smiled.
"Please speak clearly."
The Great Magician Ferguson smiled slightly: "I think President Allen must have mentioned this matter to you, but since I am here to bring it up to you now, I would just like to take this opportunity to express the attitude of our union headquarters. "
Xu Yi quickly sat up straighter, nodded, and assumed a posture of listening attentively.
The great magician Ferguson pondered for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about how to word it. After a moment, he said, "President Xu, do you know what the original purpose of the Mainland Magician's Union was?"
Xu Yi quickly recalled the "General Outline of the Mainland Magicians Union" that he had scanned before, but found that he had long forgotten the specific content.
But of course this did not trouble him. Some of the various organizational programs on the earth flashed through his mind, and he replied: "I think... it should be to unite the magicians on the continent so that all magicians have a common goal." organization to provide benefits and support to everyone?”
"That's generally true." The great magician Ferguson smiled and nodded. "But these things, to be more specific. Or more realistically, they are to help all magicians survive better. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Yi nodded: "I think I roughly understand what you mean. For a great magician or magister like you, there is no need to worry about survival issues, but for the vast majority of low-level magicians, they are relatively There are not many advantages for ordinary people, and it is actually not easy to survive better. "
"Yes. And ordinary people can learn other craft skills without any psychological burden and strive to improve their lives. But since magicians know that they have extremely rare magical talents, almost no one is willing to give up this talent."
Everyone in the room, not only Xu Yi, Akali and Anke Allen, who are also magicians, nodded involuntarily and agreed with Ferguson's words, but also Southgaard, who was not a magician. The Marquis and Princess Caroline couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Magicians are special to everyone on the Sainz continent. When they know that they have magical talent and the possibility of becoming a magician, no one will give up and will do their best to achieve it. this dream.
Only Seymour quietly curled his lips and dismissed this statement.
He was born into a noble family, and there were many magicians among his family's bodyguards. These magician guards usually treated him respectfully, without any of the so-called arrogance of magicians.
This made him never think that magicians were anything special. If he really wanted to say that, only magicians like great magicians and magisters would be taken seriously by him.
But thinking of this, Seymour suddenly remembered that Xu Yi was not only the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also a powerful magician himself.
This fact made him feel a little discouraged.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with Xu Yi, from every aspect, he was probably not as good as Xu Yi.
"No magician will give up studying magic until absolutely necessary. But for the vast majority of low-level magicians, it may be difficult to improve after studying magic for a lifetime, and this will cost a lot of money. Time, energy, and… money.”
When Ferguson said this, he stopped and took a deep breath.
Xu Yi and Akali also looked a little heavy.
Not to mention Xu Yi, a guy who came from time travel, Akali is a typical low-level magician who was born and raised in Sainz continent and came from a poor background.
She knows better than anyone how difficult it is for a low-level magician like her to get through this journey.
If she hadn't met Xu Yi, she would have been like most low-level magicians in her life, forced to stay at the low-level magician level for the rest of her life due to limited conditions. She would not be able to receive the same treatment as those high-level magicians or even great magicians. With so much attention on you, it’s hard to be willing to be an ordinary person again and learn a skill to be self-reliant.
Thinking of this, Akali took a deep look at Xu Yi. In addition to gratitude, there was also a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
It would be great if I could meet this guy earlier... (To be continued...)
