Chapter 44: A Strange Phenomenon

"The elves' achievements in magic, if it were before the race war, were certainly much better than us humans. But after the race war, more than 3,000 years have passed now, and the magic level of the elven race may not be much higher than that of us humans. ”

"I can't see it. The lifespan of the elves is much stronger than that of us humans, and the inheritance is more complete. In addition, where would the elves be like us, they can concentrate on studying magic all the time, so their magic level will only get higher and higher. ”

"I'm afraid that's not right. The creative power of the elves is not as good as that of us humans, and we humans can carry out various innovative and improved research on magic in these three thousand years, and the elves can be said to be very few. This was evident before the race war. In my opinion, the level of magic of our humans has long since far surpassed that of the elves. ”

"Hmph, you guys are always proud of the creation of human beings, but who of you will tell me that something like a magic machine, although it is very novel, but it is actually not complicated, why should it wait until Xu Yi, a fourth-level magician, appears?

As soon as President Allen said this, several of the people present fell silent.

This is the regular high-level meeting of the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, which is attended by only five great magicians in the Lampari Kingdom.

The original theme of the meeting was to make a summary report on the qualification assessment of the Wizards' Guild held this year, and let the four great magicians except President Allen give their opinions.

However, when discussing the specific situation of this year's assessment, several great magicians discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, the number of low-level magicians participating in the assessment this year has increased significantly, and it has even nearly doubled compared to last year. Compared with the year before, it was nearly three times higher.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Because in the wizard circle, low-level magicians naturally account for the vast majority, but in fact, the vast majority of these low-level magicians are also very old, but they still can't make much breakthroughs in the magic level, and they are considered to have no future.

For this kind of magician, because they all know that their magical talent is not enough, it will be difficult to improve in this life, so most magicians have basically given up the idea of increasing their mage level. And even if you want to, it's hard to improve because of the limitations of magical talent.,So in fact, I basically won't come to participate in the qualification level certification assessment of the Magician Guild.。

Generally speaking, most of the people who come to participate in the low-level mage certification examination are young gifted mages.

But this year is different, and the number of magicians who have signed up for this year's qualification examination has suddenly increased, and many of them are magicians who are considered to have no future because they are old.

You must know that the magician qualification assessment is not free, just to register for a name will cost a full five gold coins, not to mention that to participate in the qualification assessment must come to Anweimar City, so the cost of travel and accommodation is also expensive.

So unless you feel that your magical strength has increased dramatically. Be sure to pass the qualification examination at a higher level, otherwise no magician will waste time, energy and money to take the qualification examination.

This year, a large number of magicians who participated in the low-level magician qualification certification examination, many of them obviously did not have a significant improvement in their magical strength, but they still came to participate.

There are even several magicians who cheat at the risk of being removed from the list after being discovered by the Wizards' Guild. It is also trying to pass the qualification examination at a higher level.

This was really strange, so during the summary report, several great magicians discussed this phenomenon.

That's why these low-level magicians do this. Of course, it's because there's a lot to be gained, otherwise no one would waste time, energy, and money. Even at great risk.

But where is this interest?

After some discussion, Grand Magician Eysenka suggested a possibility. That is related to the Magical Machinery Chamber of Commerce built in various parts of the Lampari Kingdom.

Driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, almost everyone in the Lampari Kingdom has seen the huge benefits and potential of the existence of magic machinery, so especially this year, various chambers of commerce producing magic machinery have sprung up in various cities in the Lampari Kingdom.

Since it is the production of magic machinery, of course, a large number of magicians will be required to be responsible for setting up the magic array in it.

And the setting up of a magic array, in fact, as long as it is not a particularly high-level, particularly powerful magic array, ordinary low-level magicians can complete it, because if you just set up a magic array, the requirements for magic power are not high.

As a result, the demand for low-level magicians in various parts of the kingdom of Lampari has increased dramatically.

Prior to this, the low-level magicians in the Lampari Kingdom were actually no better than ordinary people, and there were almost no other good ways out except for serving as a guard in the Chamber of Commerce.

Now that there is such an easy and simple job as drawing a magic circle, and it is also related to the study of magic, it is naturally warmly welcomed by all low-level magicians.

Of course, the choice is a two-way street, the mages can choose which guild to work in, and the guilds will choose which mages to hire.

Even if it is the simplest job of a drawing mage, of course, a more advanced mage is much better than a low-level mage.

What's more, many ambitious chambers of commerce also hope to be able to research their own unique magic machinery like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to make a lot of money, and of course they need more advanced magicians.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, how to judge the strength and weakness of a magician? The best proof is naturally the qualification assessment of the Magician's Guild.

As a result, the number of people in the qualification assessment of the Magician Guild has increased last year, and this year there has been a big outbreak, and the number of magicians who come to participate in the assessment accounts for almost two-thirds of the magicians registered in the Magician Union!

There are even many magicians who have never participated in the Wizards' Guild certification examination before, and who are not on the registration form of the Wizards' Guild at all.

"Of course they're going to be positive. Now there is a clear price in the city of Anvimar. Regardless of the junior magician, the minimum monthly salary of the second-level magician is ten gold coins. The minimum monthly salary for a Level 3 mage is fifteen gold coins, and the minimum monthly salary for a Level 4 mage is increased to twenty-five gold coins. As for the mages of level five and above. The price is negotiable. ”

When Archmage Eisenka said this, the other four archmages, including Archmage Camilla, were all stunned.

The Truchi Magi, a more conservative tradition, could not help but criticize this phenomenon.

In his opinion, the main duty of magicians is to study magic, and these low-level magicians are not good at concentrating on the study of magic, but because these chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery have suddenly become so active with a monthly salary of more than ten gold coins, it is really a loss of the dignity of magicians.

In response, Grand Magician Eisenka sneered: "Can dignity be eaten? These low-level magicians are not like us with the special financial support of the kingdom, and it is impossible for them to get a large sum of money by virtue of their fame. Don't forget. They are also human beings, and they have to live. What's more, even the study of magic also costs a lot of gold, and if you don't let them find a way to make money, won't they be able to wait until they die?"

In response to Eisenka's rebuttal, Archmage Truchi was speechless.

Later, under the testimony of Grand Magician Camilla, the other three Great Magicians knew better that the reason for this strange phenomenon was indeed due to the demand of the Magical Machinery Chamber of Commerce that had popped up in various parts of the Lampari Kingdom.

Because of this, the five great magicians couldn't help but extend the topic to the head of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, it was extended to Xu Yi.

After talking about Xu Yi, Grand Magician Eisenka asked Grand Magician Camilla about Xu Yi's current whereabouts.

Because Xu Yi did not come to participate in this year's magician qualification certification examination, the other three great magicians were also very concerned about what Xu Yi was doing.

When it was learned from the mouth of Grand Magician Camilla that Xu Yi was now going to the Duchy of Stantin for an investment investigation, several Great Magicians couldn't help but express their pity at the same time.

Because in their opinion. Xu Yi's magical talent is extremely high, and if he is willing to concentrate on studying magic, maybe it won't be long before the sixth great magician will appear in the Lampari Kingdom.

When I heard Grand Magician Camilla mention that Xu Yi was going to talk about cooperation with the Elven Clan of the Duchy of Stantin, the Moon Shadow Clan. The topic of several great magicians turned to the discussion of elven magic, and only then did a debate arise about who was stronger in the level of elven magic or human magic.

For this issue. Grand Magician Camilla and President Allen remain neutral, feeling that they should be at a similar level.

Archmage Truchi and Archmage Torres are more conservative and cautious. It is believed that the magic level of the elven race, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is relatively high.

As for the Eisenka Grand Mage, he is a radical and complete humanist, believing that the level of human magic has long surpassed that of the elves.

But when President Allen asked why the magic machine was not researched by the great magicians like them, but Xu Yi was the first to study it, the other four great magicians could only be speechless.

In particular, the great magician of Eisenka couldn't help but feel a trace of shame in his heart.

Compared to the other four great magicians who have never only focused on magic, the great magician Isenga actually pays great attention to the combination of magic and commercial applications, but he has been focusing on it for so many years, but he has never considered the magic machine, but let Xu Yi, a low-level magician whose magic level is not worth mentioning in his opinion, be the first to study it.

"This ...... It can only be said that we have all been rigid in our minds......" After being silent for a while, the archmage of Eisenka twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile. "And...... I have to say that Xu Yi is really a genius, and there are many places where even I can only be ashamed of myself. ”

The corners of Camilla's mouth were raised, and she couldn't help but smile.

Xu Yi is now Steele's husband, and he has watched him grow up little by little, and praising Xu Yi makes him even happier than praising him.

"Speaking of which, I don't even know whether to say it's a good thing or a bad thing when this phenomenon occurs......," President Allen pondered for a moment before frowning, "Although driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are so many chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery, so that many low-level magicians can find good jobs along the way, and solve a long-standing headache in our Magician Guild." But in this way, I am afraid that in the future, those low-level magicians will choose to work in these chambers of commerce, so that they are more inclined to study magic arrays, and will no longer focus on studying magic. That's not necessarily a good thing......"

"Studying the magic circle can also improve the level of magic. Grand Magician Camilla said indifferently: "I haven't told you yet, since I closed the magic tower and entered the magic research institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to concentrate on studying the magic array, my magic level has improved rapidly, and now I should have the strength of a fourth-level great magician."
