Chapter 51: The Status of Magicians and Merchant

"That's right, I don't have enough gold now, and I can't even support this magic tower anymore. Hearing Xu Yi's cold piercing, Grand Magician Camilla didn't look too injured, just sighed softly and happily admitted this reality. "But Xu Yi, I don't like the copper stench of money with magic, this is my principle, and you don't have to bother to change my mind. ”

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, can I ask why do you feel ...... When magic and money are combined, they stench of copper? In my opinion, this is a complete fallacy. As I said earlier, money is innocent, and how to use it depends entirely on the will of the person who uses it. You don't think magic and money are a good combination, but I think it's the opposite. If magic and money are combined properly, it can make a wonderful difference. ”

"Wonderful?" snorted the Grand Magician Camilla. "Is this what you call a wonderful change in letting a guy with a great talent for magicians become a vulgar businessman?"

Xu Yi's brows furrowed a little deeper: "Your Excellency, Great Magician, your prejudice is too strict. Perhaps in the tradition of the Sainz continent, the status of magicians is far higher than that of merchants. But it seems to me that the merchants of Sainz are much better than the magicians. ”

"Nonsense!" Grand Magician Camilla slammed the table hard, stood up angrily, pointed at Xu Yi and reprimanded: "You dare to say that magicians are not as good as those dirty merchants? What can those merchants do? They will only snatch the money in other people's hands with a black conscience, and their eyes and brains are all filled with dirty gold coins, and they don't even care about their own honor! Such guys, you actually compare them to magicians? Are you humiliating me?"

"Then Your Excellency the Great Magician, what are the magicians doing?" Xu Yi sneered: "Keep researching more powerful magic, and then kill people faster and more efficiently?"

"You ......" Grand Magician Camilla originally reprimanded Xu Yi for talking nonsense again, but suddenly paused.

Because he suddenly discovered that Xu Yi was not right at all.

Yes, the status of the magicians on the Sainz continent is very high, but why is this? Of course, because the strength of the magicians is far greater than that of ordinary people, and the most obvious point is that on the battlefield, the killing power of magicians using magic is far greater than that of ordinary soldiers.

In the history of the continent of Sainz, there have been countless wars between different nations, and in each of these wars, the magicians have been able to play a vital role.

There are even some particularly powerful mages, such as mages and even archmages at the level of mages, who can change the situation of a battle with just one or two, and thus affect the entire war.

So for a long time, the magicians on the Sainz continent have been constantly feared and respected by people, and their status has been continuously improved.

But no matter how high the status of the magicians is, it can't change the fact that Xu Yi is completely right, what the magicians have been doing is to constantly study more powerful magic.

As for why you study powerful magic, of course, to be able to play a more powerful role on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it means killing people faster and more efficiently.

Thinking of this, Grand Magician Camilla's face, which was originally red because of Xu Yi's words, instantly turned pale, and the hand pointing at Xu Yi also began to shake violently, and after a while, he sat back on the stool with a thud, unable to speak for a long time.

Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly, thinking that if it weren't for the special situation, he wouldn't be willing to say it so bluntly in front of Grand Magician Camilla.

But this is indeed what he really thinks in his heart.

He could understand why the mages had such a high status on the Sainz continent, but that didn't mean he would agree with that.

In Xu Yi's view, it is important to have strong power, because it can protect yourself and what you care about when necessary.

But beyond that, it's actually more important to live a normal life.

Mankind has moved from barbarism to civilization because mankind wants to pursue a better life.

Because of this, human beings have invented all kinds of tools, from the ancient Stone Age to the highly developed civilization on Earth.

With the development of human civilization, human beings have also changed from being hungry in the early days to worry-free about food and clothing, and can even go to the sky and the sea, and even travel in space.

If this is lost, then human civilization will also lose the momentum to move forward, and I am afraid that it will still be no different from wild beasts at this time.

The power of magic is very powerful, but Xu Yi prefers to use the power of magic to improve people's quality of life.

So he combined the power of magic and used his mechanical knowledge to invent a magic fan that would allow the people of Bonta City to enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

Then he invented the magic harvester, which greatly improved the efficiency of harvesting wheat, and also made a group of nobles such as Viscount Leslie have enough confidence to grow a larger area of wheat in the coming year, thus indirectly increasing the food production of Bonta City.

Next, he will invent more diverse magic machines to help people in this world get a better life through these magic machines.

He even hopes to be able to establish a complete industrial system on the Sainz continent, so that the people of Sainz can live a life that ordinary people on the earth can live.

Xu Yi knew that it would be difficult to fulfill this ideal, but he would not back down.

Because in the process of inventing these magical machines, he not only regained the pleasure of studying mechanical knowledge that he had lost for three years, but also the joy of changing the world.

And now, the first thing he wants to change is the mind of Grand Magician Camilla.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, the merchants, as you say, have their eyes and minds filled with gold, but because of this, they try to produce and sell goods. It is precisely because of these interests that the goods on the Sainz continent will circulate with each other, and people will not always face the dilemma of lacking this and missing that. Maybe there are a lot of scum among them, who sell their conscience together to earn gold, but we can't deny the change they bring, can we?"

Grand Magician Camilla was silent, his face kept changing, and after a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi, I admit that what you said has some truth, but it has nothing to do with what you really want to say, right?

Xu Yi carefully observed Grand Magician Camilla's face, and found that he seemed to have regained his calm, so he couldn't help laughing.

After all, Grand Magician Camilla is a wise old man who has experienced the world, and it is really not so easy to be knocked down.

"Your Excellency the Great Magician, let's get back to the real thing. You don't have enough gold to support the Magic Tower, so have you cooperated with me? I can provide you with enough gold. Hey, I'll tell you the truth, I've had pretty good earnings lately. Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Hmph, it's the one that asked me to do business with you again. Grand Magician Camilla snorted coldly and waved his hand. "Needless to say, I said that this is my principle, and I will not change it. ”

"Your Excellency, Great Magician, why don't you listen to me?" Xu Yi continued. "I think the reason why you hate combining magic and commerce is because once you combine commerce, it will affect your magical research, and second, you think that helping merchants make ordinary people's money makes you feel uneasy, am I right?"

Grand Magician Camilla snorted again, but did not object.

"Very well, if these are your concerns, then I can tell you that you and I have cooperated without any problems in either of these aspects. ”

"Let's not talk about whether it will affect my magic research, if I cooperate with you, won't you make ordinary people's money?" asked Grand Magician Camilla in a muffled voice. "You think I'll believe you for such naΓ―ve reasons?"

Hearing the loosening in Grand Magician Camilla's tone, Xu Yi smiled, took out a drawing from his arms, and put it on the table in front of Grand Magician Camilla.

"Of course I wouldn't say that I don't make ordinary people's money, but if I sue you, and those people want me to make their money, what would you think?"

"Are you kidding?" said Grand Magician Camilla's eyes. "Who in this world wants others to make their own money?"

"Quite simply, because they need something that no one can give them but me. These things are very important to them, do you think they will care if they make a little money in such a situation?" Xu Yi said with a smile.

"How could there be such a thing?" Grand Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi, but he still couldn't help but look at the drawing.

After glancing at it twice, Grand Magician Camilla was surprised, "What is this? Why does it look so strange? What is it for?"

Xu Yi thought to himself that since he began to invent magic machinery, he didn't know how many times he had heard this kind of question.

"Well, this thing is the kind of special thing I just told you about. With this stuff, it will solve a lot of problems that have plagued them for a long time. Even if they knew that I would make money from this, they would definitely be grateful to me. Before he knew it, Xu Yi had already come to Camilla's side and leaned over the drawings to begin to explain. "First of all, it's called the Magic Scarifier......"
