It is of course impossible to say that Xu Yi did not consider the threat of the Magister at all before he decided to formally break up with the Magician Guild Headquarters.
But when this threat came out of Magister Camilla's mouth, it seemed particularly real and believable, making him involuntarily nervous.
But he was only nervous for a moment, and then relaxed.
He has long thought clearly that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to dominate the development of the magic industry on this continent and establish his ideal magic industry system, sooner or later it will face threats from magisters.
Magisters are extremely special existences on the continent of Sainz. So far, there are only twenty-seven magisters on the entire continent, including Magister Camilla.
Each of these twenty-seven magisters is a very important figure. Any of their actions may cause shock in the mainland magician circle. It can almost be said that they represent the authority of the magician community.
However, in Xu Yi's view, the authority of the so-called magisters is based on their super power, or super destructive power, which is not something worthy of praise.
Because for Xu Yi, magic is just a tool. Using the power of magic to develop magic machines, and then using these magic machines to improve people's lives, is far more effective than using magic to destroy or even directly participate in wars. Much more meaningful.
Xu Yi has been working hard to downplay the power of magic in various ways, in order to allow people to transfer their awe of magic to the specific use of magic.
This time, he deliberately set up a confrontation with the Magicians Guild Headquarters. The purpose was actually to separate the low-level magicians, who accounted for more than 90% of all magicians on the continent of Sainz, from the Magicians Guild. While finding suitable jobs for these low-level magicians. It also allows them to redefine the role of magic in their minds.
If the largest number of low-level magicians all recognized the magic machine. If we focus on applying magic to specific magic machines, it will be possible to change the direction of the use of magic by most magicians and better develop the magic industry.
But if he really wanted to completely change everyone's understanding of magic, then more advanced magicians, even great magicians and even magisters, would be a problem Xu Yi had to face.
If one magister can be persuaded to identify with the magic industry and join in, the effect will definitely be more powerful than persuading 10,000 low-level magicians.
Magister Camilla is currently the only magister who truly agrees with the magic industry. But because of the special relationship between him and Xu Yi, the persuasiveness he brought was not enough.
So Xu Yi has been trying to persuade other magisters through other methods.
If the Magician Guild really persuades a certain magician to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time, it will be a crisis for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it will also be a huge opportunity.
The specific outcome depends on how Xu Yi responds.
Fortunately, the Magister is not an ordinary person after all. Even the Magicians Guild Headquarters will never use this trump card until the last moment. Besides, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also has the existence of Magister Camilla, so the Magicians Guild Headquarters must be wary. .
So although Magister Camilla raised this concern, in fact, after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Magicians Union headquarters completely broke up, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not turn out to be the worst case scenario as Xu Yi expected. Immediately suffer a direct attack from the Magister.
The Magician's Guild Headquarters did not take any special actions except to talk to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce through various public statements.
On the surface it seems. The days seemed to be the same as usual, so calm.
Of course, this kind of calmness is only for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but for other countries on the mainland, it is not calm at all.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly announced that it could transfer certain military magic machinery manufacturing technologies, many countries on the mainland took active actions.
The first batch of thirty-five countries that signed cooperation agreements with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only took one year to differentiate between superior and inferior countries.
Among them, the Principality of Venice, which has the best cooperative attitude, has officially entered the second stage of cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that the domestic magic industry base has reached the second level, so according to the provisions of the agreement , the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transferred the manufacturing technology of two basic military magic machines, including the magic repeating crossbow and the small magic trebuchet, to the Principality of Venice.
To this end, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Principality of Venice jointly invested in the construction of a military magic machinery manufacturing factory in the Principality of Venice. They also built a steelmaking plant with an estimated annual output of more than 800,000 tons to produce military equipment. Magic Machinery offers standard steel.
Compared with other cooperative countries that are still in the first stage and preparing to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to create the most basic farmland magic machinery factory, the Principality of Venice is undoubtedly far ahead.
The cold winter has just passed, and the fourth batch of construction teams jointly dispatched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Armli Chamber of Commerce have arrived in the Principality of Venice.
This time, their goal was to build a seaport at the mouth of the Taran River, the largest river in the Principality of Venice, and the Endless Sea.
Although the Principality of Venice had a natural seaport here before, it could not meet the increasingly large cargo requirements in the Principality of Venice, especially the docking requirements of the large cargo magic ships of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet. Therefore, under the proposal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Principality of Venice each contributed half of the capital to jointly build this new seaport.
This seaport is connected to the Taran River that runs through the Principality of Venice in the north. With the convenient river transportation of the Taran River, goods from the Principality of Venice can be transported here very conveniently, and then transported to further places by sea.
Correspondingly, all kinds of goods from other places can also enter the seaport and then be transported to various parts of the Principality of Venice through the Taran River.
In addition, the Principality of Venice also plans to build a road along the Taran River to complement the three roads that have been successfully built before. The goal of connecting all parts of the Principality of Venice by road will be basically achieved.
As expected. As long as the seaport and roads are completed. Coupled with the fact that the Principality of Venice uses various engineering magic machines provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to dredge the Taran River, the traffic environment in the Principality of Venice will be greatly improved.
In the past, although the Principality of Venice was rich in various domestic products, the transportation was not convenient enough, making it impossible to transport these products out. The people of the Principality could only live in more difficult conditions because of the barren land in the Principality of Venice.
Once this transportation problem is solved, a large number of rare products in the Principality of Venice can be easily transported to other places on the mainland for sale, which will bring considerable profits to the Principality of Venice.
For example, this time the combined fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Armli Chamber of Commerce came to the Principality of Venice, in addition to assisting the Principality of Venice in building a seaport. It is also responsible for purchasing a large number of special products in the Principality of Venice.
When the fleet arrived at the previously crude natural harbor, countless goods of all kinds shipped from all over the Principality of Venice were already piled up on the dock, waiting for the fleet to be transported up and taken away upon arrival.
Correspondingly, this time the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet also brought a large amount of scarce supplies in the Principality of Venice.
The most important part is basic grains such as rice and wheat.
Just for this fleet exchange, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce used this fleet to own three large magic cargo ships and three thousand barrels of dwarf specialty wine.
The Principality of Venice is only a small country, with a total population of only more than 600,000. This batch of supplies can be said to be a great improvement and help to the Principality of Venice, which has been suffering from a shortage of staple food all year round.
So the fleet arrived at the seaport and was immediately welcomed by the people of the Principality of Venice.
The Grand Duke of Venice was even present in person. The warm reception of the fleet's senior officials fully reflected the importance that the Principality of Venice attaches to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amri Chamber of Commerce.
certainly. In fact, what he really values is the other batch of cargo hidden under the rice, wheat and wine in the fleet...
"Your Majesty, Grand Duke, you see, this is a hand-held magic artillery carefully developed by our Chamber of Commerce. Even though it is so small, the power caused by each shell after it is fired is comparable to that of a level 4 fire magic explosive bomb. It’s extremely amazing. There are no special requirements for operating this hand-held magic artillery. Soldiers can initially master its use with a little training.”
Listening to the introduction of Garn Sauron, the commander of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce fleet, the Grand Duke of Venice's eyes shone. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the barrel of the hand-held magic artillery that shone brightly under the light and had a smooth and clean appearance. It just feels smooth and delicate upon first hand, and has an excellent hand feel.
"Okay, very good! This thing is really good." After the Grand Duke of Venice praised a few words, he turned to Garn Sauron and asked: "Commander Sauron, I don't know about the manufacturing technology of this hand-held magic artillery, you guys When will Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be willing to transfer it to us?”
Garn Sauron smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, regarding this point, our Chamber of Commerce has already made detailed notes in the magic industry level list handed over to your country. The manufacture of hand-held magic artillery requires at least the fourth level of magic industry level. , your country is currently unable to meet this requirement.”
"Really?" Although he had known it for a long time, the Grand Duke of Venice was still a little disappointed when he heard this answer. After touching the hand-held magic cannon for a while, he asked again: "If you can't give us the technology, how about at least selling us more advanced military magic machines?"
Garn Sauron shook his head slightly: "Your Excellency, I advise you to give up this idea. Regarding military magic machinery, our Chamber of Commerce has strict regulations. The reason why we will sell this batch of military magic machinery to your country this time is , also because your country is the first country to reach the second-level magic industrial system, so it provides special support. As for the large-scale magic artillery... That is a military magic machine that can only be owned by the sixth-level magic industrial system. Your country wants to have it. It still needs more efforts.”
The Grand Duke of Venice was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and stretched out his hand to Garn Sauron: "Well, give me what we deserve first." (To be continued...)
