Chapter 165: Why did the headquarters send people?
"It turned out to be President Allen's son, no wonder it looked familiar. Archmage Ferguson smiled and nodded to Anko Allen. "I wanted to visit President Allen after meeting President Xu, but I didn't expect to meet his son first. How is President Allen?"
Anke Alan hurriedly bowed and saluted back: "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency the Great Magician, my father has been in good spirits recently, his magic strength has also increased, and all the affairs of the union are also going very smoothly, which makes me feel very relieved as a son." β
"Oh, President Allen's magical strength has improved, and I wonder if you have achieved a breakthrough in rank?" asked Archmage Ferguson with interest.
"I don't know about this, my father just said that he has been studying magic machinery for the past two years, so he has more experience in magic research, and mentioned that his strength has increased, but he didn't tell me in detail. β
"It has something to do with magic machinery again?" The Ferguson Grand Magician turned his head to look at Xu Yi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and said with emotion: "President Xu, originally I thought that the magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only very helpful in improving the lives of ordinary people, and I didn't expect that it could also help our magicians improve their strength, which is really surprising." β
Xu Yi laughed: "You have won the prize." President Allen's strength has increased, and that is also his own focus on research, magic machinery or something, at most it just helps him to inspire a little more. β
"No, for a magician who has reached our level, it is extremely rare to be able to inspire a little more in the study of magic. I have always been amazed that Camilla Magister has not made any major breakthroughs in decades, but in the past few years, she has broken through one after another, and even became a respected Magister in one fell swoop. Come on now. I'm afraid it has something to do with helping your Chamber of Commerce research magic machinery. β
"I do. It's just that Camila's Magister has accumulated a lot of money, and it just happened to bear fruit in the past few years. β
Xu Yi's response was not purely for modesty, but the more important reason was that he still didn't understand the meaning of the sudden arrival of the great wizard of Ferguson.
When he received the news that Marquis of Southgate was going to come to inspect the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again, Xu Yi was very happy, because it meant that the Marquis of Southgate was obviously determined to come and really talk about cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This also means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made a good start in the Maro Empire. It has laid a good foundation for the promotion and development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Maro Empire in the future.
Moreover, Marquis Southgate's attitude towards the New Flying Chamber and the Magic Machine is very positive, which is diametrically opposed to the attitude of the Candela Empire.
If you cooperate with the Marquis of Southgate, it is believed that the magic machine will be able to spread smoothly in the Marlo Empire.
As long as he can fully promote magic machinery in one of the two major empires of the Sainz continent, Xu Yi can take a big step towards his ideal of popularizing magic machinery on the entire continent.
Moreover, if the magic machinery can be popularized in the Maro Empire, then the Candela Empire, as one of the two major empires, will obviously be touched, and it is very likely to significantly improve the extremely difficult development environment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire.
However, after the Marquis of Southgate sent someone to deliver the news, the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom also sent someone to send a message that the headquarters of the Magicians Guild of the Continent would also send a Grand Magician Christopher Ferguson, one of the thirteen members of the Guild Management Council, from Sky City to meet with Xu Yi.
The news did not say what exactly the Ferguson Grand Magician was here to do, but it only stated that he would negotiate with Xu Yi on behalf of the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, and did not reveal anything else.
This seems a little strange.
It is said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has Camila's Magister, who can be regarded as the highest-grade Magister in the entire continent. The Magicians' Guild specially sent a great magician over, but it was just to see Xu Yi. It's really puzzling that he didn't come for the sake of Camila's Magister.
What's even more strange is that it is pointed out that the Grand Wizard of Ferguson will come with the Marquis of Southgate.
Xu Yi is very puzzled by how the two of them are connected, so it is natural to be cautious when the purpose is unclear.
"Speaking of which, President Xu, how many magicians are already working for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now?" said Ferguson Archmagician.
Xu Yi hesitated slightly, but still answered truthfully: "So far, including myself, the total number is two thousand seven hundred and thirty-six. β
"Two thousand, seven hundred and thirty-six?" said Ferguson Archmagician with a look of surprise on his face, obviously surprised by the number. "President Xu, I would like to ...... Except for the armies of the various countries on the continent, I'm afraid there is no other organization in the entire continent that has so many mages like your Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Xu Yi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart.
The hidden meaning of the words of the great magician of Ferguson...... Could it be a warning?
The organization with the most mages outside of the armies of various countries on the continent?
This title is not a good thing for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, as it is too easy for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to be extra wary.
"You're too much of an award. Xu Yi laughed. "Although there are quite a few magicians in our Chamber of Commerce at present, the vast majority of them are only low-level magicians around the third or fourth level, which is completely incomparable to the armies of those countries. Besides, they just work in our Chamber of Commerce, and they don't work for the army like magicians in the army. β
"Really?" Grand Magician Ferguson smiled, pondered for a moment, and continued: "President Xu, in fact, within our union headquarters, the evaluation of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been very high. β
"Oh, that's a real delight. But can you tell me why?" Xu Yi and the others sitting around the table all looked interested.
The Continental Magicians Guild is a unified organization of all magicians on the entire Sainz Continent, and it has great power on the continent, and in some cases it is even more powerful than the two empires.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can now be regarded as the top chamber of commerce in several nearby countries. But it is not first-class among the chambers of commerce in the entire continent. Why is it so important to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild?
Only the Marquis of Southgate smiled. It seemed to know what the Great Wizard of Ferguson was going to say next.
"The reason is very simple, on the number of two thousand seven hundred and thirty-six that you just mentioned, and on the fact that most of them are low-level magicians around the third or fourth level you mentioned. The Ferguson Grand Magician laughed.
"Please be clear. β
Grand Magician Ferguson smiled slightly: "I think President Allen must have mentioned this matter to you, but since I have come to bring it up to you now, I should take this opportunity to show the attitude of our union headquarters." β
Xu Yi hurriedly sat up straighter, nodded, and put on a deferential posture.
The Ferguson Grand Wizard groaned slightly. As if thinking about how to phrase it, after a while, he spoke: "President Xu, do you know what the purpose of the Mainland Magician Guild was when it was founded in the first place?"
Xu Yi quickly recalled the "General Outline of the Mainland Magician Union" that he had scanned before, but found that he had long forgotten the specific content.
But of course, this did not bother him, and some of the various organizational programs on Earth flashed through his mind, and he replied, "I think...... It should be to unite the magicians on the continent, so that all magicians have a common organization to seek benefits and support for everyone, right?"
"That's pretty much the case, that's right. The Ferguson Grand Wizard smiled and nodded. "But these things, to be more specific. Or, more realistically, to help all the mages survive better. Do you see what I mean?"
Xu Yi nodded: "I think I probably understand what you mean." For a great mage or magus like you. Naturally, there is no need to worry about survival, but for the vast majority of low-level magicians, they do not have much advantage over ordinary people, and it is not easy to survive better. β
"Yes. And ordinary people can learn other skills without psychological burden, so as to try to improve their lives, but since magicians know that they have an extremely rare magical talent, then almost no one is willing to give up this talent. β
Everyone in the room, not only Xu Yi, Akali and Anke Allen, who were also magicians, nodded involuntarily in agreement with Ferguson Magician's words, and even the Marquis of Southgate and Lord Caroline, who were not magicians, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Magicians are special to all people on the continent of Sainz, and when they know that they have magical talents and have the possibility of becoming a magician, no one will give up, but will do everything they can to achieve this dream.
Only Seymour pouted quietly, dismissive of the passage.
He was born in a large aristocratic family since he was a child, and there were many magicians in the guards in the family alone, and these magician guards were usually respectful and respectful when facing him, without the slightest arrogance of so-called magicians.
This made him never think that there was anything great about magicians in his heart, and if he really wanted to say it, probably only magicians like great magicians and magicians would be taken into his eyes.
But thinking of this, Seymour suddenly remembered that Xu Yi was not only the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also a powerful great magician.
This fact made him feel a little discouraged.
No matter how unconvinced Xu Yi is, from any point of view, he is afraid that he is not as good as Xu Yi.
"No magician will give up studying magic until the last resort. However, for the vast majority of low-level magicians, it is possible that it is difficult to improve after studying magic for a lifetime, and this will take a lot of time, energy, and ...... Money. β
At this, the Ferguson Grand Magician paused and sighed deeply.
Xu Yi and Akali also had slightly heavy faces.
Xu Yi, the guy who crossed over, is a typical low-level magician born and raised on the Sainz continent and born in poverty.
She knew better than anyone how difficult it was for a low-level mage like her to make the journey.
If she hadn't met Xu Yi, she would probably be like most low-level magicians in her life, because of the constraints of conditions, and be forced to stay in the low-level magician Cheng DΓΉ for life, neither can she be as high-level magicians or even big magicians as high-level magicians, and it is difficult for her to be willing to be an ordinary person again, learn a skill and be self-reliant.
Thinking of this, Akali glanced at Xu Yi deeply, and in addition to gratitude, there was also a trace of bitterness in her eyes.
It would have been nice if I had met this guy earlier...... (To be continued......)
