Chapter 169: The Disappearing Great Magician Tower
It's the annual spring ploughing season again.
Although with the help of various farmland magic machines, the efficiency of spring harvesting and cultivation in Bonta City has already been improved countless times compared to before, but for spring ploughing, which is very important to all countries in the entire Sainz continent, the whole city of Bonta City still attaches great importance to it.
The Count of Satsuma had already ordered the major chambers of commerce in the city that when it was time for harvest and spring planting, no matter what chamber of commerce in the city was, they should take a week's vacation, so that the workers in the chamber of commerce could go home to help harvest and cultivate.
As soon as spring began to be busy, the city of Bonta seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
Xu Yi and Steele rode their bicycles slowly on the streets of Bonta City, feeling the cold and deserted environment around them, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.
"It's strange, Bonta City was much quieter two years ago than it is now, but why am I so unaccustomed to it now?" said Steele as he looked at the shops on both sides of the street that had mostly closed their doors.
Xu Yihaha smiled: "Of course, you have long been accustomed to the excitement of Bangta City in the past two years, of course, you will not adapt to the fact that it has become so deserted all of a sudden." From this point of view, Steele is actually a person who is more accustomed to the life of the metropolis. In that case, why did you return to Bonta from Anvimar in the first place?"
"No way, Mom and Dad are away from home all year round, and only Grandpa is alone in Bonta City. I grew up with my grandfather when I was a child, and I was afraid that he would be too lonely to stay alone in Bunta City, so I came back to accompany him. Steele replied as he glanced up at the sky of Bunta City in the distance. From here, you can still vaguely see the magic tower not far away. "This magic tower is about to be demolished. I don't know if grandpa will feel sad. ā
"Be careful!" Xu Yi stretched out his hand suddenly. Grabbed Steele's handlebars. Prevented her from almost falling into the ditch next to her with a twist of the handlebars due to distraction. "I said you've just learned to ride a bike, so don't get distracted. What if I fall?"
Steele snorted unconvinced, pressed the pedal hard in anger, and rode out at an accelerated pace.
Xu Yi suddenly laughed, shook his head, and hurriedly followed.
"Since Grandpa has already closed the Great Magician, it is better to dismantle it, so as not to disturb his mind every time he sees the Magic Tower. Don't look at me. It's his own decision, I'm not going to die myself, and I'm going to let him tear down the magic tower. Xu Yi glanced up at the magic tower in the distance, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I hope grandpa can keep it." I also once built a temple to the lord of the city, and kept this magic tower as a landscape in the city of Bangta, so that people from other places could come and visit the city when they came to it. ā
"Grandpa isn't dead yet. Steele reprimanded, twisted the handlebars, and drove straight in the direction of the Grand Wizard's Tower.
Riding a bike is naturally much faster than walking. A few minutes later, the two of them came to the Grand Magician's Tower, but they saw a familiar figure under the tower.
"Grandpa. "Steele flew straight off the bike. Suddenly threw himself into the arms of Grand Magician Camilla.
Xu Yi hurriedly reached out to hold Steele's bicycle, then also got out of the car and put the two people's bicycles, walked over quickly, and smiled at Grand Magician Camilla: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, you ......"
Grand Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi: "What do you call it? You are going to marry Steele next month, and you still call me Your Excellency?"
"Hey, I'm used to it. Xu Yi smiled and quickly changed his words. "Grandpa, why are you here too? are you here to see it for the last time?"
"Pretty much. Grand Magician Camilla looked up at the twenty-meter-tall Grand Magician Tower, and sighed, "This Great Magician Tower was built in the year I first became the Great Magician, and it has been almost twenty years now. In the past twenty years since I became a great magician, I have spent most of my time here, and now that it is going to be demolished, I am really a little reluctant. ā
"If you can't do it, don't tear it down. Steele said coquettishly. "Grandpa, with your status, as long as you don't want to demolish it, I guarantee that no one will dare to demolish it. ā
"The problem is that I want to demolish it myself. Grand Magician Camilla shook her head. "After spending so much time at the Academy of Magic, I'm increasingly aware that the old model of studying magic is over. This way of building a magic tower so that all the other mages work for a great mage should have been eliminated a long time ago. In that case, there is no point at all in the fact that this mage tower is still preserved. Instead of that, it would be better to tear it down and replace it with a more meaningful storage zĆ i. Do you say yes, Xu Yi?"
Xu Yi immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, big ...... Grandpa, I'm sure that the new thing that has been built in this place will give everyone a new understanding of magic. ā
"Well, I'm sure you can do it. ā
Grand Magician Camilla looked up at the Wizard Tower for a moment, in front of the steps in front of the gate of the Wizard Tower, and patted the steps beside him.
Xu Yi and Steele immediately sat down next to him, one left and one right.
Grand Magician Camilla pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Xu Yi, I have good news for you." ā
"Huh, what's the good news?"
"The Magicians' Guild has finally promulgated the 'Magic Patent Ordinance', according to which any magician can apply for a magic patent for a new discovery in the magic he has researched. In other words, there is a result in something that you kid has been looking forward to for more than a year. ā
"Really?" Xu Yi was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Then does this patent regulation say how to apply for it, and how to protect the patent?"
"Yes. Speaking of which, it also has something to do with you. Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi. "The Magicians' Guild has adopted the proposal submitted by President Palmes on the basis of your proposal, and the requirements for this patent application are to pay the application fee in two ways. One is to require the union to rate magic patents, pay an application fee according to the rated grade, and then the union will give different levels of protection according to different levels. ā
"Two kinds? The second one shouldn't be self-service payment, right?" Xu Yi asked in amazement.
"Yes. The second is to pay according to the magician's own wishes, no matter how much you are willing to pay, but the magician's union will also rate the payment and give different levels of protection according to different levels. Grand Magician Camilla nodded in reply.
"Hmph, these guys from the Wizards' Guild are pretty cunning. Steele snorted softly. Xu Yi said two ways, and they actually used all of them. Grandpa, they used Xu Yi's mention yƬ, didn't they say that they would give Xu Yi a little reward?"
"What reward?" said Grand Magician Camilla, glaring at Steele. "It is Xu Yi's honor to be accepted by the Magician Guild, as long as he is happy, what reward do you want?"
Xu Yi smiled lightly: "The reward or something will be exempted." The fact that the Wizards' Guild was able to pass this patent bill was already the biggest reward for me. In this way, many things from the Magic Research Institute of our Chamber of Commerce can be taken out and patented, which is much more convenient than now. ā
Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi deeply, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Those relatively ordinary things can be patented. But...... The most important thing is not to take it out. ā
Xu Yi was stunned, and when he saw the solemn look on the face of Grand Magician Camilla, his heart sank, and he nodded lightly.
Three days later, the Grand Magician Camilla's Tower, which had stood in Bonta City for twenty years, was blasted to pieces by the Grand Magician Camilla himself with a huge fireball of flames under the watchful eyes of countless residents of Bonta City.
Seeing the collapse of the Great Magician Tower, which was more than 20 meters high, the onlookers of Bangta City felt a little emotional and reluctant in their hearts.
There are only five great magicians in the kingdom of Lampari, and one of them is in the tiny city of Bonta.
The inhabitants of Bonta City have always regarded this as the glory of Bonta City, and there is always an inexplicable sense of superiority when facing the residents of nearby Kalmar and Saltan Cities.
Every time you look up and see the Great Magician's Tower of Camilla in the city, people feel very relieved.
Because for ordinary people, it always makes people feel safe to have a great magician in the city they live in.
Now the Great Magician's Tower has been demolished, and although Grand Magician Camilla still remains in Bonta City and has not left, it always seems that something is missing in people's hearts.
In fact, for the decision of the Grand Magician Camilla, Count Satsuma once objected and dissuaded.
According to his idea, this Great Magician Tower can be kept as a symbol even if there is no Great Magician.
However, Grand Magician Camilla insisted on demolishing it, claiming that a new building would be built on the original site that was completely different from the style of the Wizard's Tower, but also full of magical elements.
Unable to dissuade Grand Magician Camilla, Count Satsuma had to signal the Daily Bonta to hype up the matter, reminiscing about the history of the Grand Magician's Tower standing in Bonta City, and at the same time expressing his expectations for the new new building full of magical elements that Camilla said Grand Magician.
Under the deliberate publicity of the Bonta Daily, everyone in Bonta City is full of curiosity and anticipation for this new building.
Two days after the demolition of the Grand Magician's Tower of Camilla, a construction team from the Amrley Chamber of Commerce entered the ruins and built a wall to enclose the place, except for a huge sign outside.
There is a clear line of writing on the sign.
"The new concept of the new flying chamber of commerce, modern magic house, three months later, so stay tuned. ā
Looking at the typesetting on the sign, all the curious residents of Bonta City were puzzled.
New Concept Modern Magic House? What is this?
And how is this thing related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce...... (To be continued......)
