Chapter 138: The Employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
Although the senior magician is the main component of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and is responsible for the main research and development of magic for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is the low-level magicians who really make up the current huge scale of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the Xinfei 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 are difficult to make breakthroughs in magic, or who are still at the level of low-level magicians for the time being, are entering the actual front-line jobs, drawing magic arrays for the core part of each magic machine - magic source power.
This part of the work is also extremely important, because without them, no magical machine can actually operate mechanically.
And this part, although it seems simple, is the part that requires the most manpower.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has a total of more than 5,000 magician employees, of which only more than 700 are conducting research work in the Magic Research Institute, and the remaining 4,000 or so are all engaged in the basic work of drawing magic arrays.
If it loses the support of this part of the magicians, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be said to be paralyzed in an instant and unable to operate.
Moreover, ordinary workers can also be hired to replace them, but because the number of magicians is too scarce, it is difficult to replenish one less, so the importance of this part of the magicians to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not lower than that of the researchers of the Magic Research Institute.
The headquarters of the Magician Guild is now deliberately criticizing the role of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of low-level magicians, which is simply aimed at the key point of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the intentions are not ruthless.
In what many people expected. Now that the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild has spoken. Then these low-level magicians who work for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely have some scruples. I'm afraid that a large number of low-level magicians will leave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If nothing else, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably fall into the turmoil of Yan zhòng.
However, the truth is not what these people expected.
After this notice from the headquarters of the Magician Guild was announced, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce acted as if it had not been affected at all.
Not to mention that there was a large-scale resignation of low-level magicians, and not even the slightest strange rumor was revealed.
This situation has caused countless people to wonder.
With the high status of the Wizards' Guild on the continent of Sainz, as well as the high prestige in the eyes of the magicians, as long as the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild speaks, even the most honorable magicians will show respect. Not to mention these lowest-level magicians.
According to everyone's expectations, it should be that after the headquarters of the Wizards Guild gave instructions, not to mention that all the low-level magicians of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would take the initiative to leave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even those high-level magicians who were researchers in the Magic Research Institute should resign one after another.
Otherwise, wouldn't this be a violation of the instructions of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild.
With such doubts, some people quietly came to the Duchy of Stantin.
###
With the rapid development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in recent years, the area of the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also expanded again and again.
Xu Yi's private estate had been occupied by the main industrial area by this time, and the previous living area was already insufficient, so he moved out two years ago and rebuilt a huge living area on the east bank of the Abdant River. It is 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 a very large area. With a total area of more than 20,000 hectares, the scale has even surpassed countless large cities on the Sainz continent.
Compared to the new flying city in the northern center of the Duchy of Stantein further east, the atmosphere of life here is stronger, but the use of magic machinery is not inferior at all, the various infrastructure is also very complete, the supply of materials is no problem, and all kinds of daily necessities are abundant and cheap.
If you live here, you can say that it is quite moisturizing and comfortable.
Because the people living here are all employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the living area is naturally divided into several areas according to the positions and positions held in the Chamber of Commerce.
In an area to the northwest near the Abdant River, the main people live in the low-level mages who are mainly responsible for the drawing of magic circles in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Compared with the high-level magicians who only have hundreds of people in the Magic Research Institute, and all of them are workaholics, and they usually sleep in the Magic Research Institute many times, these low-level magicians are only third-level magicians at most, and their strength is not strong, so in fact, the gap between them and ordinary people is not big, but they prefer to live in this living area.
Every day after work, after these low-level magicians who have completed their work return to their residences, some of the low-level magicians who are still self-motivated will study magic carefully, but most of them are not young, they are not too self-motivated, or they have a clear understanding of their talents, and they know that they are not capable of going further, but they will take the opportunity to relax.
At this time, the taverns dotted around the neighborhood are their best place to go.
When night falls, the low-level magicians they know will come to the tavern in the area where these low-level magicians live, order two side dishes, and drink the wine produced by the dwarven distillery while talking and laughing freely, soothing the fatigue of the day's work.
The Rolling Stone Tavern, though not the largest of the several taverns in the Magic Settlement, has always been the most populous, if nothing else, except that the tavern owner here is a dwarf, so it sells cheap and good wine.
As night fell, the Rolling Stone Tavern was as crowded as usual, as noisy as ever.
The atmosphere in the tavern was particularly hot today, because after two years of trial operation of the magic racing competition organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was finally officially renamed as the official magic racing championship this year, and the first official race was held in the arena outside Xinfei City just yesterday.
The Magic Racing Race, which was already in trial operation, attracted a lot of attention and many people would make small bets in private, but now that it has officially become a championship, it has attracted even more attention.
Before the game, so there are more people who bet.
Many of the low-level magicians who are currently drinking in the tavern have made some bets.
Although because of the regulations of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce ordering employees to participate in gambling, they dare not invest a lot, but after all, there is more concern, so after the results of the game come out, the winner is naturally happy, and the loser can't help but scold twice to vent.
In this respect, magicians are no different from ordinary people at all.
When Seniore pushed open the door of the Rolling Stone Tavern, he was first so smoky by the rush of wine that he couldn't help but take a step backwards, and then he settled down and walked in.
When he actually walked in and got used to the environment in the tavern, he found that the smell of wine that hit his nose was not very pungent, but gave off a vague aroma.
After looking around the side, he went to the bar of the tavern and hooked his hand at the bartender.
"Hey, is there any good wine here?"
The bartender glanced at him in surprise, "Your first time here?" ”
Seniore glared at him angrily, "You don't say how do I know which three kinds of wine they are?"
The bartender pointed behind him, but did not answer.
Seniore had to look in the direction he was pointing, 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 is very pure and rich, while the other glass has a faint green color, which seems to have a different taste.
The last glass is completely transparent and looks indistinguishable from plain water.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Seniore couldn't help but snort softly.
This whisper is not directed at the wine on the three paintings, but at the three paintings themselves.
Based on his long-term cultural literacy, it can be seen that these three paintings are exquisitely painted and have excellent brushstrokes, which are rare and good paintings from any aspect, and are even slightly worse than the paintings of many masters.
It's really strange that in such an inconspicuous-looking tavern, there are three paintings of such a high standard hanging here casually.
"Hey, can you tell me who painted these three paintings?" The curiosity in his heart made Seniore forget the purpose of his visit, and asked the bartender, pointing to the three paintings.
The bartender glanced back and shook his head.
"I don't know, I just remember that it was an elf guy who got drunk here and forgot to bring money, and then painted three paintings as collateral, and I don't know how the boss agreed......"
"Idiot! That must be the master of the elven race!" Seniore roared in his heart, but his face was as restrained as he could, and he just shook his head, a little regretful. "It seems that you missed a good opportunity to meet the elven painting masters, which is a pity. ”
The bartender glanced at him inexplicably: "Elven painting master, isn't it very strange? We are full of elves here, and it shouldn't be bad to find any one to paint, right?"
"How can you ......" Seniors just wanted to refute, but suddenly it occurred to him that this was not another place, but the territory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It's not as unusual to see elves here as it is in other places......
Thinking of this, Sinille was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth, waved his hand and said dejectedly: "Forget it, bring me a cup of everything." ”
"A glass of each?" A middle-aged man who was sitting next to the bar and was sipping a glass of wine turned his head suddenly, glanced up and down at Senior, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I advise you not to do this." The first time I wanted to drink three kinds of wine like you, I was so drunk that I went home and lay down for a day before I woke up. Because of this, I was absent from work for a day, and I was deducted from my salary for one gold coin. ”
"A gold coin's salary?" Senior's eyes lit up and he asked rhetorically, "Are you an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" (to be continued......
