Xu Yi had no intention of arguing with a young man who was not yet underage. After saying a few words, he left the inner room of the Magician's Guild.
When the old magician at the gate saw Xu Yi coming out, he shook his head at him again. He seemed to still feel puzzled and regretful that Camilla, the great magician, gave Xu Yi his precious recommendation spot.
Xu Yi could only smile at him and couldn't explain anything.
The situation in the union hall was no different from when Xu Yi entered just now. It was still crowded and noisy.
However, after Xu Yi walked out of the inner room door, he found that many eyes were scanning over him.
Only those who received special recommendation quotas could enter the inner room and enjoy the preferential registration treatment. Many people who signed up knew this. Seeing Xu Yi entering and then coming out naturally aroused their curiosity.
Different from the doubts that the old magician had in the mind of the female magician just now, these magicians who are now noticing Xu Yi do not know much about the situation of the great magician Camilla, so they are simply envious or jealous of Xu Yi's unexpected appearance. Be able to get a special recommendation quota.
Facing these sultry eyes, Xu Yi did not try to dodge at all. Instead, he faced everyone's gaze and observed them carefully.
Judging from the situation in the hall, most of the magicians who came to sign up for the assessment were young people, and only a few magicians looked older than Xu Yi.
This is not surprising. The Magician Guild of the Lampali Kingdom is only responsible for the certification assessment of magicians of level five and below. Magicians of level five and below can only be regarded as relatively low-level among magicians. Most of them are Still mainly young people.
The older magicians either already have very high magical abilities, or they are limited by their talents, and their magical abilities have long been finalized. Of course, they cannot just come and take some assessments.
The area of this hall is about two hundred square meters. Xu Yi made a visual inspection and estimated that there should be about two hundred magicians crowded in it. Plus the magicians seen in the square outside and in the city of Anvilmar, now the light There are probably more than a thousand magicians in Anvilmar City.
When chatting with the great magician last time, Xu Yi curiously asked him how many magicians there were in the Lampali Kingdom now.
Archmage Camilla said that he did not have specific data, but according to statistics from the Magician's Union last year, the number of magicians in the Lampali Kingdom currently exceeds 5,000.
If you include those who are not counted, the number is likely to be close to 6,000.
As for the entire continent of Sainz, the Magician's Guild released a data three years ago. At that time, the number of registered magicians in the entire continent was 87,467.
Counting those without statistics, the total number is likely to exceed 100,000.
Of course, the magician as a whole also has a standard pyramid structure.
Among the total of probably more than 100,000 magicians on the Sainz continent, there are currently only 27 magicians, more than 500 one-star to five-star great magicians, and the rest are all from elementary to ninth level. ordinary magicians.
In the Kingdom of Lampali, three-star magicians like Camilla the Great Magician can already be regarded as the most powerful magicians. Most of them are just ordinary magicians like these people who are not taken seriously. division.
When Xu Yi looked at these magicians, what he thought of was not the cruelty of the magician profession, but he was seriously considering a problem.
The Lampali Kingdom will provide special funds to support powerful magicians like the Great Magician Camilla, but ordinary magicians below the Great Magician do not have this type of income.
So how do these magicians make a living
Judging from what Xu Yi saw in Bangta City, Camilla the Great Magician only employed less than twenty magicians in total in her magic tower. In addition, various chambers of commerce hired some magicians to act as guards.
In addition, the magicians below level five or even lower, who have the largest population base, may not even have such a chance.
So what is the final way out for these magicians who have low magical power but cannot improve due to limited talent
Is it really like what Steele said, to find a few like-minded companions and go on adventures all over the continent
You must know that this road is also very dangerous, and countless adventurers die every year.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi looked at the magicians in the hall with a look of sympathy, and more of expectation and excitement.
With the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the output of the two workshops has gradually increased, and it has gradually become unsustainable to rely solely on the students hired by the Baron Rector Magic Academy to draw the magic circle.
For this reason, Director Hiller once protested to Xu Yi, saying that he sent less than half of the students in the Magic Branch to work, which even affected the school's arrangements.
Xu Yi naturally knows this very well. After all, the students' main task is to study, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time working for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi must find some other people to replace them.
The problem is that Bangta City is a small city and there are not many magicians in the city. Xu Yi simply cannot recruit enough people.
Xu Yi had worried about this before, but now seeing the hall full of magicians, Xu Yi suddenly found that this problem that had troubled him for a long time suddenly seemed to be solved!
Xu Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart, pondered for a moment, put on a kind smile on his face, and walked towards the nearest magician who was looking at him.
"Hello, my name is Xu Yi, from Bangta City. Can I ask where you are from?" Xu Yi asked this young male magician who seemed to be in his early twenties.
The young male magician obviously didn't expect Xu Yi to come over and say hello. After being stunned for a moment, he forced a smile and nodded to Xu Yi.
"You...Hello, my name is Cesar, from Wells City."
"Wells City? That's a beautiful city." Xu Yi immediately praised. "I heard that there are many rivers in Wells, and the whole city seems to be built on water. Is that true?"
"Well... she is indeed very beautiful." Cesar said casually, and finally couldn't help but asked Xu Yi: "You said you are from Bangta City. I know that there is only one Camilla in Bangta City. Magician, were you recommended by him?"
Xu Yi looked back at the passage he had just entered, then turned to face the confused Cesar and nodded lightly.
"Yes, it was indeed the great magician Camilla who recommended me to take the exam."
"Then...are you a relative of the great magician Camilla? Oh, I'm sorry, I don't doubt you, it's just...it's just that you don't have a magician badge on your chest. I think you haven't passed the primary examination, right?" Cesar asked again.
Xu Yi looked down at his empty chest, then looked at Cesar's chest, and found a beautifully made magician's badge hanging on Cesar's chest. In the pattern on the badge, there were two ripples representing water waves at the bottom. It proves that he should be a second-level magician certified by the Magician's Guild.
"Yes, I did fail the primary examination." Xu Yi nodded. "I think you must be wondering why I was specially recommended by the great magician Camilla, right?"
Cesar smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
"The reason why I was specially recommended by Camilla the Great Magician is not because I am him. Of course, it is not because my magic talent is particularly outstanding, but because..." Xu Yi paused. After deliberately putting it off, seeing that Cesar's attention had been completely concentrated, he smiled and replied: "Because I have some unique insights in the research of magic machinery."
"Sorry, you said...magic machine? What is that?" Cesar asked confused.
"That's it..."
Under Xu Yi's explanation, Cesar quickly figured out what the magic machine was.
"You mean, you study magic not to make yourself stronger, but to study these magical machines?" Cesar looked at Xu Yi inexplicably.
This guy is not a few years older than me, but he is already the president of a chamber of commerce in Bangta City, and the product of his new flying chamber of commerce is actually some kind of magic machine, which is even more strange.
What kind of magic machine can it do
"Don't you think it's a wonderful thing to be able to let everyone enjoy the convenience brought by magic?" Xu Yi tried hard to seduce Cesar. "Our new pilot union is still in urgent need of outstanding magicians like you who can dedicate their efforts to this cause. How about it? Cesar, are you willing to join our chamber of commerce?"
Cesar didn't know what expression to use when facing Xu Yi.
He is currently only a second-level magician, and he is not strong enough to attract the attention of any chamber of commerce. Now Xu Yi suddenly appears and asks him to join this new flying chamber of commerce. To be honest, he is still tempted for a moment.
But when he thought that this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only in a small place like Bangta City, and the products it produced were strange magic machines, he felt a little resistant.
"Well... I'm sorry, I just want to concentrate on studying magic for the time being. My strength is not enough..."
Xu Yi suddenly stretched out a finger. "Ten gold coins a month."
Cesar almost choked to death on his own saliva.
Ten gold coins a month? Although Cesar has not been invited by any chamber of commerce, he knows that when many chambers of commerce invite magicians they like to join, they will offer a salary of at least twenty gold coins per month.
Of course, those magicians who can be favored by the Chamber of Commerce and are enough to serve as guards are obviously far more than weak second-level magicians like him. I am afraid that the lowest level should be fifth-level magicians.
Logically speaking, the price Xu Yi said was a very fair price for a second-level magician, but Cesar refused after hesitating for a while.
"I'm sorry, I'm not short of money right now. Rather than making money, I prefer to seize the time to improve my magic level." Cesar said seriously. "President Xu, thank you for your kindness. If there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, I will consider your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Yi was disappointed in his heart, but still kept a smile on his face, and nodded lightly: "Okay, since Cesar you don't want to, of course I won't force it. But our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will always open the door for you, what do you want?" If you ever want to change your mind, you can always come to Bangta City and I will always welcome you.”
Cesar smiled and nodded.
In any case, it was very pleasant to get along with President Xu.
After watching Cesar leave, Xu Yi realized that he had made a mistake.
Judging from what Cesar is wearing, his family background is obviously good. So without financial pressure, based on the current common understanding of Sainz's continent, it is of course the most important thing for him to improve his own strength now, and he will refuse Xu Yi's recruitment is not surprising.
Xu Yi was not very disappointed. After discovering this problem, he turned his targets to those magicians who did not seem to be in good condition.
After asking seven more people, the results I got were not very satisfactory.
Perhaps because they are not yet receptive to new things like magic machines, although the seven magicians seemed to have average conditions, only three of them showed interest in Xu Yi's proposal, and they really agreed that Xu Yi was willing to come. There was only one person in Bangta City.
The remaining four people had similar reactions to Cesar.
Xu Yi could only express helplessness about this.
If you want to change this situation, you must first change the minds of the magicians on the Sainz continent.
And this is obviously something he can't do now.
"Eh? Are you Xu Yi? Xu Yi! It's really you!"
At this moment, a voice full of surprise suddenly sounded next to Xu Yi.
