Chapter 150: The Magician's Peace Pact
The public transfer of technology other than household magic machinery is just the first big move of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce after entering the New Year.
On April 1st, there was something special in a certain plane, but there was nothing strange on the Sainz continent, the Sainz Continent Magicians Guild and the Sainz Continent Magicians Survival and Employment Security Association, two of the largest magician organizations on the continent, united the Candela Empire, the Maro Empire, the Lampari Kingdom, the Magic Mana Kingdom, the Luxon Kingdom, the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and a total of 83 other countries made a public statement at the same time.
The two major wizard associations and more than four-fifths of the countries on the continent of Sainz, including the two empires, signed a "Magician Peace Pact" at the same time, proposing new norms and regulations for the magicians of the continent.
The text of the "Peace of the Magicians", which has a strange name, is very long, but there is only one sentence that really attracts people's attention.
From the date of signing the convention, all magicians registered with the two major magician associations on the Sainz continent will not be allowed to directly participate in any war, and violators will be collectively removed from the two major magician associations and regarded as the public enemies of the continent's magicians.
Needless to say, the Magician Union has already become another large-scale magician organization that is not weaker than or even slightly stronger after all these years of vigorous development with the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If these two mage organizations say that they want to restrain the mages on the continent at the same time, it basically means that the regulation they have decided will become the iron law of the vast majority of mages on the continent.
In other words, from today onwards, the magicians on the continent of Sainz will only want to continue to mingle on the continent. You can no longer go directly to the battlefield as before.
And at the same time. These eighty-three countries, including the two empires, also said in a statement at the same time. No mages will be recruited into the country's army, and no mages will be directly involved in the war.
This also means that even if there is a magician who desperately violates the rules of the two major magician associations and wants to go to war on the battlefield, no country's army will recruit them, and there is no place for them to be powerful.
I have to say that this "Magician Peace Pact" is simply a complete violation of the tradition on the continent of Sainz.
As early as 3,000 years ago, when humans first mastered magic. The magicians of humanity have set the place where they realize their value as the battlefield.
Whether it is the racial war three thousand years ago, or the struggle between humans and various races later, or the war that took place between various human countries after ruling this continent, magicians can be said to be the protagonists and darlings of war.
In everyone's mind, magicians who have mastered magic and possess powerful destructive power can only show their value through battle.
The reason why the Magus is admired and even worshiped by everyone is because the Magus is the apex of all mages, and the destructive power it has is enough to change the outcome of a battle.
This notion has been present in human society on the continent of Sainz for more than three thousand years. It's been ingrained in everyone's mind for a long time.
As a result, now the two major mage associations and almost all the countries on the continent are telling everyone that mages are not allowed to participate in the war anymore?
Are you kidding!
Magicians do not participate in wars. Where do you go to reflect your own value?
Don't magicians have nothing to do other than fight?
Wait a minute......
These words did make sense in the Sainz continent before, but in the current Sainz continent, they don't make so much sense......
The difference is that there was no New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the Sainz continent before, and there was no magic industry, but now there is.
When people suppressed the sense of absurdity in their hearts because of this news, they found a very critical problem.
Among the delegates who signed the Peace of the Mages, in addition to the two major wizards' associations and a host of countries including the two empires, there was also a somewhat unusual name placed here, because it represented a chamber of commerce.
This chamber of commerce is, of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Anyone who reads carefully about the "Magician Peace Pact" will find that the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appears several times in this convention, and even the convention clearly states that this "Magician Peace Pact" was reached at the proposal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It was also because of the active communication of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that the two major magician associations and eighty-three countries, including the two empires, finally agreed to the convention.
There is no need to guess, everyone understands that the reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made so much effort to reach this convention is, of course, for its own interests.
So where do the benefits of this convention come from?
As long as you're not stupid, it's easy to deduce.
Because of the restrictions of this convention, mages can no longer directly participate in the war in the future, nor can they enjoy all kinds of special high-standard treatment for joining the armies of the two empires.
So, what should the more than 100,000 magicians on the continent do?
You can't all run to the chambers of commerce as escorts, right?
At this time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to provide another way out for these magicians, that is, to devote themselves to the magic industry and devote themselves to the study of magic machinery.
In the past 20 years or so, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has proved that magicians who devote themselves to the research of the magic industry can also get high remuneration and reflect their own value.
In last year's war between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and several countries to defeat the two empires, the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was even able to kill the Magus directly, and even made all the Magiers, including the Magus, useless.
According to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the main people who have researched such a powerful military magic machine are actually the researchers of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and among these researchers, there is only one great magician, and the rest are just ordinary senior magicians.
Relying on the power of a great mage and an ordinary mage, he was able to defeat or even kill a mage, which has never happened in the history of the continent of Sainz.
So after this battle, these magicians of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were hung with a sacred halo among the other magicians in the mainland.
Even putting aside this kind of reputation reward, according to some of the data revealed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the fixed salaries of these researchers of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have exceeded fifty gold coins every month, and some have even exceeded two thousand gold coins a year!
Not to mention, several of the great magicians currently employed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had already exceeded their annual salary of 10,000 gold coins as early as ten years ago!
This kind of salary income, even if it is placed on the entire Sainz continent, is definitely at the top level.
Compared to the salary of serving in the armies of major countries or serving as a guard for other chambers of commerce, the remuneration for working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is much higher.
What's more, it's not a job that makes you desperate......
So when people figured out these questions in the Crescent Newsweek, which was broadcast in the major newspapers and magic illusion projection installations everywhere, they immediately realized that the appearance of this "Magicians' Peace Pact" was not something for magicians that would cause them to lose the opportunity to express their own value, but rather gave them a wider world.
In fact, after these things appeared and developed to a certain extent, they have been causing controversy in the wizard circles on the Sainz continent.
Some magicians believe that as a high-ranking magician, they should show their powerful destructive power and their superior status through battle.
Some magicians are more pragmatic and feel that as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter what they do.
Before the advent of the Magician Peace Pact, the two factions of magicians were more vocal in supporting magicians in battle, because this was a tradition that had been held on the continent of Sainz for thousands of years.
However, after the advent of the "Magicians' Peace Pact", the pragmatic magicians instantly gained the upper hand and completely overwhelmed the belligerents.
In the final analysis, this is also because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce showed unparalleled strength in last year's war, so that the two empires were powerless to resist and could only be forced to sue for peace.
In the current Sainz continent, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce almost represents absolute power.
Since this matter was led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and had already obtained the consent of the two major mage associations and the vast majority of countries, including the two empires, and even all the well-known mages on the continent had come forward to publicly express their support, then ordinary mages had no room for refutation at all.
What's more, after this statement was issued, the two empires immediately announced a series of statements on the vigorous development of the magic industry at the same time, saying that they would fully support the construction of the domestic magic industry in the future, and carry out comprehensive cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and strive to popularize the magic industry in the country as soon as possible.
To this end, the two empires and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have opened two new magician academies in the two countries, which are specially designed to train magicians in the magic industry, aiming to allow magicians who are not familiar with the magic industry to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to study magic machinery, so as to more easily enter the magic industry.
The two empires also offered a series of preferential conditions for magicians who were willing to devote themselves to the magic industry, such as free tuition fees for entering new academies, tax exemptions after engaging in work related to the magic industry, and special citizenship after obtaining the qualification of magical mechanical engineer issued by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce......
All in all, in one sentence.
Are you a magician, join the magic industry!(To be continued......)
