Although senior magicians are the main component of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and are responsible for the main work of magic-related research and development for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the real components of the current large-scale chamber of commerce are They are the low-level magicians among them.
In the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the division of labor in this area is quite clear. High-level magicians generally enter the magic research institute for research and development, while those magicians who have difficulty making breakthroughs in magic, or who are still at the level of low-level magicians for the time being, Enter the actual front-line work, drawing magic arrays for the core part of each magic machine-the magic source power.
This part of the work is also extremely important, because without them, no magical machine can truly achieve mechanical operation.
And although this part seems simple, it is the part that requires the most manpower.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has more than 5,000 magicians on staff, but only about 700 of them are doing research in the Magic Research Institute, and the remaining 4,000 or so are all engaged in drawing the basis of magic circles. Work.
If we lose the support of this part of the magicians, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be said to be paralyzed instantly and unable to operate.
Moreover, ordinary workers can be hired and replaced, but the number of magicians is so rare that it is difficult to easily replace them if one is missing. Therefore, this part of the magicians is no more important to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce than magic research. The researchers at the institute are low.
The Magician Union Headquarters is now specifically criticizing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's role in low-level magicians. It is simply targeting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's key points, and its intentions are not without ruthlessness.
As expected by many people. Now that the Magicians Guild Headquarters has spoken. Then these low-level magicians working for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely have some scruples. I am afraid that a large number of low-level magicians will leave the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably fall into serious turmoil.
However, the reality was beyond these people's expectations.
After this notice from the Magician Union Headquarters was announced, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seemed to have not been affected at all and everything was business as usual.
Not to mention the large-scale resignation of low-level magicians, there was not even a little bit of strange news.
This situation has caused countless people to wonder.
With the lofty status of the Magician's Guild on the continent of Sainz and its high reputation in the minds of magicians, even the most noble magisters will respect it as long as the Magician's Guild headquarters speaks. What's more, these low-level magicians at the lowest level.
According to everyone's expectations, after the Magicians Guild Headquarters gave the instructions, not to mention all the low-level magicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even those high-level magicians who were researchers at the Magic Research Institute would leave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on their own initiative. They should also resign one after another.
Otherwise, wouldn't this be a violation of the instructions of the Magician's Guild Headquarters
With such doubts, some people quietly came to the Principality of Standing.

With the rapid development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in recent years, the area of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's main base has also been expanded.
Originally, more than half of Xu Yi's private land was occupied by the main industrial area. The previous living area was no longer enough. It was moved out two years ago and rebuilt on the east bank of the Abdante River. A huge living area. Across the river from the industrial area.
This living area provides accommodation and living services for more than 100,000 ordinary employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, covering an extremely large area. The total area exceeds 20,000 hectares, and its scale even exceeds countless large cities on the Sainz continent.
Compared with the new flying city located further east in the northern center of the Principality of Standing, the atmosphere of life here is stronger, but the use of magic machinery is not inferior at all, the various infrastructures are also very complete, and the material supply is even better. Problem, all kinds of daily necessities are abundant and cheap.
Living here can be said to be quite nourishing and comfortable.
Because all employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce live here, the living area is naturally divided into several areas according to the different positions and jobs held in the chamber of commerce.
In an area in the northwest near the Abdant River, the main people living are the low-level magicians who are mainly responsible for drawing magic circles in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Compared with the high-level magicians who have only a few hundred people in the Magic Research Institute, and all of them are workaholics, who often just sleep in the Magic Research Institute, these low-level magicians are only level three at most. Magicians are not very powerful, so they are not actually that different from ordinary people. Instead, they prefer to live in this living area.
After get off work every day, these low-level magicians who have completed their work return to their homes. Some of the low-level magicians who are still motivated will study magic carefully, but most of them are not young and there is nothing too much. Low-level magicians who are ambitious or have a clear understanding of their talents and know that they are not capable of going further will take the opportunity to relax.
At this time, the taverns scattered throughout residential areas are their best places to go.
Whenever night falls, familiar low-level magicians will come to the tavern in the residential area of these low-level magicians in twos and threes, order two small dishes, and drink the wine produced by the dwarf winery while being wanton. Talking and laughing to relieve the fatigue of a day's work.
Although the Rolling Stone Tavern is not the largest of the several taverns in the magician's residential area, it has always been the one with the most people. For no other reason than because the owner of the tavern here is a dwarf, so the wine sold is cheap and good.
It was nightfall again, and the Rolling Stone Tavern was packed with people as usual, and it was noisy as usual.
The atmosphere in the tavern today is particularly hot, because after two years of trial operation, the magic racing competition organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was finally officially renamed the regular magic racing championship this year, and it was held at the venue outside Xinfei City yesterday. The first official match.
The Magic Racing Competition, which was launched as a trial run before, has already attracted much attention. Many people would place a small bet in private. Now that it has officially become a championship, it has attracted even more attention.
before the game so more people place bets.
Many of the low-level magicians currently drinking in the tavern have made some bets.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce ordered employees to participate in gambling, they did not dare to invest a lot, but after all, there was an extra focus, so when the results of the competition came out, the winners were naturally happy, and the losers of course couldn't help but curse. Let’s vent a few words.
In this regard, there is no difference between magicians and ordinary people.
When Senior opened the door of the Rolling Stone Tavern, he was first hit by the smell of alcohol and couldn't help but take a step back. Then he calmed down and walked in.
When he actually walked in and adapted to the environment in the tavern, he found that the smell of alcohol that hit his nose was not so pungent and unpleasant, but instead gave off a faint aroma.
After looking around, he came to the bar of the tavern and hooked up with the bartender.
"Hey, is there any good wine here?"
The bartender glanced at him slightly in surprise: "Is this your first time here? Our Rolling Stone Tavern only serves three kinds of wine, you can just pick any one."
Senior glared at him angrily: "How do I know which three kinds of wine they are without you telling me?"
The bartender pointed behind him and didn't answer.
Senior had no choice but to look in the direction he pointed, and saw three paintings hanging on the wall behind the bar, each depicting three glasses of wine of different colors.
One of these three glasses of wine was red in color and looked very pure and rich, while the other one had a faint green color and seemed to have a different taste.
The last cup is completely transparent and looks no different from plain water.
After Senior looked at it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
This chuckle was not directed at the wine on these three paintings, but at the three paintings themselves.
Based on his long-term cultural literacy, it can be easily seen that these three paintings are exquisitely painted and have excellent brushwork. They are rare and good paintings in every aspect, and are not even slightly worse than those of many masters.
It's really strange that there are three such high-level paintings hanging casually in such an inconspicuous tavern.
"Hey, can you tell me who painted these three paintings?" The curiosity in his heart made Senior couldn't help but forget the purpose of coming, and pointed to the three paintings and asked the bartender.
The bartender glanced back and shook his head.
"I don't know. I just remember that an elf guy got drunk here but forgot to bring money, and then he painted three paintings as collateral. I don't know how the boss agreed..."
"Idiot! That must be the master of the elves!" Senior roared in his heart, but tried his best to hold it in and just shook his head, feeling a little regretful. "It seems that you have missed a good opportunity to meet the master of elven painting. It is a pity."
The bartender glanced at him inexplicably: "Master of Elf painting? Is that unusual? There are elves everywhere here, so any one of them should be pretty good at painting, right?"
"How could..." Senior was about to retort, but suddenly thought that this was not another place, but the territory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Here, seeing elves is indeed not as rare as in other places...
Thinking of this, Senior was speechless. He opened his mouth, waved his hands and said dejectedly: "Forget it, give me a cup of each."
"A glass of each?" A middle-aged man who was sitting next to the bar and sipping a glass of wine suddenly turned his head, glanced at Senior, and patted him hard on the shoulder, with a serious look on his face. He said in a voice: "Brother, I advise you not to do this. The first time I wanted to drink three kinds of wine together like you, I was so drunk that I went home and lay down for a whole day before I sobered up. Because of this, I was still drunk After one day’s work, one gold coin was deducted from my salary.”
"A salary of one gold coin?" Senior's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" (To be continued...)
