Chapter 118 Magic Patent Protection Fees

After a long time, everyone slowly recovered from the intense light.

After seeing the situation in the examination room clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

In this space shrouded in magical protection, the entire ground has turned black, and many places have been struck by lightning and deep pits of different sizes, which can be described as devastation as far as the eye can see.

Just from the damage to the ground of the examination room, you can see how terrifying the power of this electric magic that Xu Yi has just released is.

Everyone looked at Xu Yi, who was standing in the middle as if he was nothing, and was speechless for a while.

"Ah!" At this time, the staff of the Magicians' Guild, who was in charge of the magic protection in the examination room, suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.

President Allen frowned and glared at the staff member, and said with a slight reproach, "What's the matter?

The staff member swallowed and foamed, pointed to the magic protection circle he was responsible for, and said in disbelief: "Yes...... President, Magic Protection Circle...... It seems to be a little broken. ”

"Huh?"

Now everyone froze again.

The function of the magic protection circle is to protect the magic used by the magicians participating in the examination room from spreading outside the examination room.

Because the mages who participated in the assessment today were level 6 to level 9, considering the power of their use of magic, this magic protection circle was set up by President Allen himself, which was enough to offset the power of an ordinary level 9 magic.

And now after Xu Yi released an electric magic, this magic protection circle is actually broken!

Could it be ...... The power of this electric magic used by Xu Yi actually surpassed that of the ninth-level magic?

President Allen got up and checked over to the magic protection circle. But he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and explained to everyone with a smile: "It's not a big deal." It's just that the electric magic that Xu Yi used just now was a little special, so it directly offset the magic protection. It's not because it's too powerful, and the magic protection is broken. ”

Hearing this explanation, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not because Xu Yi's imitation is too powerful.

If this is really the reason, then it proves that he is a seventh-level magician who can actually use magic that is more powerful than a ninth-level magician!

This is so shocking that of course everyone doesn't want to believe it.

Seeing that President Allen had finished checking the protective array, Xu Yi smiled and asked, "May I ask Your Excellency, has my high-level magic demonstration been completed?"

President Allen looked at Xu Yi and smiled dumbly: "You have used such an exaggerated magic, if I don't let you know it." Do you think anyone else would agree?"

Everyone else couldn't help but nod in unison.

If Xu Yi's high-level magic demonstrations can't pass guò, then how can the magicians who obtained pass guò before get guò do so?

Xu Yi smiled: "I don't think I have a good grasp of this magic, so I'm not sure if I can use it." ”

"Okay, the control of magic is another matter, but just by looking at the power of this magic, you can get through. President Allen looked at the other four archmages. "Now that Xu Yi is able to pass the high-level magic demonstration, I agree with him to pass the guò, what is your opinion?"

Grand Magician Camilla and Eisenka Archmagician of course agreed for the first time, and the other two archmagicians glanced at each other. I nodded in agreement.

As a result, the high-level magic demonstration that Camilla was most worried about before, Xu Yi easily passed the level.

It's just that Grand Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi's expression all the time, but he was always very strange, and he seemed to be a little angry and a little funny.

There is another difference between the high-level magician assessment and the low-level magician assessment, that is, because the number of high-level magicians is inherently small. It is not necessary to select a certain percentage to approve the pass guò assessment like the low-level mage assessment, but as long as you really have the corresponding strength, then no matter how much you can pass the guò, you will be allowed to pass the guò.

Therefore, although the assessment of senior magicians also has an actual combat assessment link. However, it will not be as demanding as the low-level mage assessment.

When entering this assessment link, although Grand Magician Camilla did not serve as Xu Yi's assessment officer because of the principle of avoidance. However, the great magician of Eisenka offered to be responsible for the assessment of Xu Yi.

Naturally, the others would not object, but the Great Magician of Eisenka pretended to assess it. In addition, Xu Yi now has the Cheng dù of a seventh-level magician in terms of both his magic level and understanding of magic, so he can pass the test with ease.

After the entire assessment was completed, in the end, in addition to Xu Yitongguò who passed the assessment of a seventh-level magician and became a seventh-level magician recognized by the magicians' union, the other forty-six magicians who participated in the assessment had a pass rate of about more than half.

Only three of the twelve research institutes participating in the assessment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce passed the assessment, and all of them were fifth-level magicians who passed the sixth-level assessment and were upgraded to sixth-level magicians.

In comparison, it seems that it is not even up to average.

However, Xu Yi was not disappointed with this result, but was a little surprised.

The high-level magicians are still quite self-aware of their own strength, and these researchers have previously indicated to Xu Yi that their current strength improvement is not enough to upgrade, so Xu Yi didn't think that they would pass this assessment.

Now, unexpectedly, three research institutes have been upgraded, which is really unexpected.

Besides, the advertising effect that Xu Yi wants has been achieved, so everything else is just a minutiae, and he doesn't care.

After the assessment ended, the other magicians who participated in the assessment left the examination room, but Xu Yi was left alone.

President Allen asked Xu Yi to follow him and the other four archmages into a room at the back of the examination room, and a meeting was held impromptuly.

As for the topic of the meeting, it was about the details of the patent bill.

Xu Yi did not have much say in other issues, and at first he was honestly responsible for the audit.

However, when it comes to discussing how much should be charged if there is a fee for magic patents. President Allen named Xu Yi and asked him to express his opinion.

"Uh...... Ladies and gentlemen, on this subject. I think there are two options that are more suitable. Xu Yidao.

"There are two kinds of them?" said President Allen, surprised. "Tell me about it. ”

"The first is that patent protection fees are not linked to patent royalties. The Wizards' Guild charges a fixed fee for each patent-pending magical research, and as for how to distinguish it, it is rated according to the importance of the magical research, and a fixed amount is given to each grade. ”

"How should the amount be determined? The difficulty of different magic research is different, and the same amount is probably not appropriate. President Allen asked again.

"It's simple. For example, if there is a magic research that applies for magic patent protection is about first-class magic, and it is not so important and difficult after evaluation, it will be assessed as first-class, and only ten gold coins will be charged per year. However, another patent-protected magical research is about fifth-level magic, which is usually more difficult and important than the previous one. Then it is graded as level 5, and fifty gold coins or more will be charged every year. Xu Yi replied.

"But there's a problem. If a magician has researched a more important magic, but because he can't afford to pay the high-level magic patent protection fee, then this patent protection is meaningless?" asked the question, one of the other two great magicians that Xu Yi didn't know before, named Senmurel Torres.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Your Excellency the Grand Magician Torres, if a magician can't even pay a mere patent protection fee, then do you think he has enough funds to research novel magic?"

The Grand Mage of Torres was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but nod.

Truly. Studying magic is a very expensive thing to do, especially if it is a theory of magic that is novel and has no prior experience.

"Okay, Xu Yi. You can talk about another option. President Allen urged.

"Hmm. As for the second option, the Wizards' Guild does not limit the amount of patent protection fees, but the magicians who apply for patent protection decide for themselves. ”

"Decide for yourself?" the great magicians were stunned. "How do you decide?"

"It's simple. If you feel that the patent protection you want to apply for is important, then you will need to pay more patent protection fees to the Wizards' Union. The Wizards' Guild then determines the cost of using the patent in proportion to a certain percentage. In other words, it is to link patent protection and royalties. The more you pay. The more compensation you get and the more royalties you pay. ”

Several Great Magicians pondered it carefully for a while, and Eisenka Archmagician couldn't help but praise, "I like this plan. It's like making money, you have to invest more if you want to make more. ”

"But I've always been worried about a problem, that is, in the future, more and more magicians will apply for patent protection for their magical research, and when the time comes, won't any magician who wants to learn new magic have to hand over a large sum of money first?"

Xu Yi glanced at him, thinking that he must be one of the more conservative magicians in the Wizards' Guild who opposed the patent bill.

"Your Excellency Master Truchi, your concerns may be true, but have you noticed that even before the patent protection law, it is not so easy for magicians to learn a new magic?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.

"That's better than spending money on it, isn't it?" said Archmage Truchi.

"No, you're wrong. Xu Yi shook his head and said unceremoniously. "In fact, magicians usually cherish the new magic they have researched, and treat it as a private treasure that will not be leaked. So in fact, after so many years, the magic level of the entire continent has not improved much compared to thousands of years ago, because even if some magicians have researched new magic and have a new knowledge and understanding of magic, they are not willing to share it, at most they will only teach it to a few students. And the other magicians did not have the opportunity to make these new studies and discoveries of his. ”

Grand Magician Camilla sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Xu Yi is right. I've always lamented this situation before, if everyone could share their own magic research, then the magic level on the Sainz continent would have far exceeded that of the original elves. However, after I met some elves last time, I found that thousands of years have passed, and our human magic is still not as good as the magic mastered by the elves in many aspects. ”

The other archmages were silent.

As great magicians, their vision is of course very different from that of low-level magicians.

As for the reasons that Xu Yi said about restricting the improvement of human magic level, they were actually much clearer than Xu Yi.

Xu Yi smiled and continued: "So, the great magician of Truqi, compared to wanting to learn but can't learn anything, being able to spend money to buy it is already a very big progress. The Wizards' Guild can't expect all magicians to be so noble and selfless that they share their magical research. Then tell the magicians that you can sell your magical research for money. I think that with the motivation of money, it will not only motivate many magicians to share their research findings, but also encourage more magicians to devote more energy to magical research, and because of the support of money, they will have the ability to conduct more magical research. ”

"Smack!" said the Eisenka Archmage slamming the table with a look of delight, "That's what I've always wanted to say." You've always accused me of falling into the abyss of gold, but have you ever thought about how hard it was before we became great magicians?

As for the words of the Great Magician of Eisenka, the other four Great Magicians thought for a while, but found that they could not refute it.

If a mage wants to improve his strength, in addition to his talent, the most important thing is to constantly conduct magical research.

And magic research costs money, and if you don't have money to do research, you will naturally improve slower than others, which is an axiom in all magician circles.

The silence in the room lasted for a while, and President Allen coughed lightly: "Everyone should have no doubt about the Tongguò Patent Act, what we need to determine now is which of the two proposals that Xu Yi said, which one do you support more?"

The other four archmages looked at each other, and Eisenka archmage said, "I support the second option. ”

Then Grand Magician Camilla said that both options were fine, and he had no opinion.

Grand Magician Torres and Grand Magician Truchi also did not express their opinions clearly, they felt that the two plans Xu Yi said were very reasonable, and they could report both plans to the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild on behalf of the Magicians Guild branch of the Lampari Kingdom.

"Very well, then report both of these plans. President Allen made a decision, turned his head and said to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, I have to trouble you to do me a favor and make a corresponding analysis report on both plans, and I will hand it over to the headquarters together." ”

Xu Yi naturally agreed very happily.

With this kind of thing that can leave his mark on the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild and have a great impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how could he let go of the opportunity to get involved? (To be continued......
