"Hey, boy, when are you going to marry Steele?" asked Grand Magician Camilla, who suddenly glanced at Xu Yi.

"Poof—"

Xu Yi was drinking a sip of tea, and after coughing vigorously a few times, he looked at Grand Magician Camilla in surprise, and said in a lost voice: "Your Excellency Great Magician, you ...... What are you talking about?"

Grand Magician Camilla snorted heavily: "What? I have a question? Since you kid has already established a relationship with Steele, shouldn't I ask when you will get married? Or do you just plan to play with Steele and not marry her at all? I sue you, boy, any love that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan! If you dare to do this to Steele, believe it or not, I will break your legs in minutes?"

Looking at the angry Camilla Grand Magician, Xu Yi responded with a smile: "I said Your Excellency the Great Magician, I just confirmed my relationship with Steele, shouldn't we strengthen our understanding of each other and then think about marriage?"

"What do you know? You two have been together for more than half a year, you work together all day, you stick together when you have nothing to do, and even Steele went to your house for several nights, which is not enough to understand?" "Boy, don't talk nonsense, I'm asking you now as Grandpa Steele, and you give me honest answers!"

Seeing that Grand Magician Camilla didn't seem to be joking, Xu Yi thought about it, put away the helpless look on his face, and said: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, Steele is a girl who is very good in both appearance and personality, of course I hope to make her my wife as soon as possible." But I have to respect Steele's wishes. If she doesn't think it's suitable, I'm not going to force her to agree to marry me. ”

Grand Magician Camilla frowned, "What's the matter? Steele isn't happy enough with you?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "You can't say that." It can only be said that she will definitely not be ready to get married so soon. You just let us spend some more time with us. When the time comes, it will naturally come to mind. But before that, I also hope you don't put too much pressure on her. ”

Grand Magician Camilla pondered for a long time, sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's your young people's own business, and I can't care about it so much." Alright, boy, let's get down to business. Come. Let's take a look at the trade union journal that I went to today. ”

Picking up the internal journal of the Magicians Guild thrown by Camilla's great magician, Xu Yi was stunned when he saw a few big words on the cover at a glance.

"Is the study of magic self-serving?"

Generally speaking, the cover title of the internal journal of the Wizards' Guild represents the hottest topic of the Wizards' Guild recently, usually related to the study of magic.

But the title of this issue seems to be related to the study of magic, but it exudes a strong sense of humanistic controversy.

"What's going on?" Xu Yi looked at Grand Magician Camilla in amazement.

"See for yourself. Oh yes, you look at page seven first. ”

Xu also flipped to the seventh page and found that the headline on this page was even more shocking.

"The study of magic is the private property of a magician. No offense!"

Seeing such a powerful title, Xu Yi's eyes involuntarily moved to the author's signature, and then saw a familiar name.

Gordon Eysenka

Seeing this name, Xu Yi couldn't help but nod secretly.

If it's this great magician who is said to be the most greedy for money. It doesn't seem too strange to say this.

If you continue to read it, you will find that the content of this article is not weaker than the title at all.

In his article, Grand Magician Essenka constantly explained the great damage that the sharing of magical research had done to the mages themselves, causing them to gradually lose the motivation to study new magic. Because even if it is studied, it will only be learned by other magicians in the end.

"Magicians are human beings, too. And man is an animal that chases interests, if there are not enough interests. Why should magicians go to such pains to study new magic?"

The whole article should be said to be reasonable and convincing, but what surprised Xu Yi was that in the second half of the article, the Great Magician of Eisenka actually took out the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi as examples.

He praised both Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, saying that Xu Yi's invention of magic machinery actually pointed out a new path for magicians, proving that the specific application of magic in life is actually just as important and has a strong meaning.

However, if the magic machine Xu Yi is researching is not protected and anyone can imitate it at will, then Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely lose the motivation to research new magic machines.

"Every time there is a light at the dawn, it will die because of the selfless sharing promoted by the union, and in the long run, the magicians on the continent of Sainz will only stop, and the magic level of the entire continent will never improve. Isn't it at this point that we shouldn't make a change?"

At the end of the article, the Grand Magician Eysenka can't help but be a little alarmist.

Xu Yi didn't think that the level of the magicians on the Sainz continent could not be improved again.

In the thousands of years before this, although the magicians on the continent of Sainz were not as powerful as they were during the thousands of years of race wars, the research on magic was still ongoing, and it was impossible not to make the slightest progress.

After reading this article, I looked through the other parts of the journal and found that this time many great magicians have published articles in the journal to debate this issue.

"What happened all of a sudden?" Xu Yi asked, closing the journal and wondering to Grand Magician Camilla.

"Quite simply, because the union is preparing a new resolution requiring the magicians affiliated to the union to make a breakthrough in magical research open to the union, and share their research results with all magicians, so as to jointly promote the growth of the magic level of the Sainz continent. Grand Magician Camilla replied.

"I wipe ...... The Wizards' Guild gang are ...... Is it an idiot?" Xu Yi paused, and finally couldn't help but scold. "Let everyone share it for free, then it's strange that someone is willing to do it. It really needs to be passed through this resolution. That would definitely turn out to be that all magicians don't do magic research, and everyone waits to pick up ready-made. ”

"If it was before. I'm sure I'll scold you for being too selfish and not knowing how to give at all. But now ......," said Grand Magician Camilla, with a wry smile. "I have to admit it. Sometimes being selfish isn't a bad thing. If you share all the research results of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that your Chamber of Commerce will collapse in an instant, and I will not be able to get so much research funds from your Chamber of Commerce. ”

"So you also oppose this resolution?" Xu Yi immediately asked.

"Yes. It's not just me who is against it, Eysenka is against it, in fact, this time almost the vast majority of the great magicians have clearly expressed their opposition. Grand Magician Camila smiled at Xu Yi and said, "So this decision shouldn't be passed, and you kid don't have to worry about the union forcing you to share your research results." ”

"Of course, such an anti-human brain-dead decision, it would be hellish to be able to pass guò. Xu Yi said with a smile.

"In addition to that, for this time the resolution. Essenka directly proposed to the union a resolution on the exclusive rights to the results of the magician's research, specifically, a bit closer to the patent rights you mentioned last time. The resolution is currently being discussed, and it is not yet known whether it will be able to be communicated. However, because of the turmoil caused by the previous resolution, the call for this resolution to be passed is very high. ”

Xu Yi's eyes lit up: "This Eysenka Great Magician is really good at seizing opportunities." But why did he want to get a patent for the mage's research, and why did he pull me out as an example, even for our new flying chamber of commerce?"

Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi with a somewhat strange expression.

"Boy, I suddenly found out when you reminded me like this. You're a lot like that guy from Eisenka. You're more of a businessman than a magician. ”

###

While it was not known whether the Magicians' Guild's resolution on the exclusive right to study magic could be passed, Sevigny brought bad news to Xu Yi - the Lamari Kingdom Council rejected the proposal for the patent bill.

"Why?" Xu Yi frowned and looked at Sevigny. "Through the Patent Act, the chamber of commerce that applied for patent rights can pay a fixed amount of patent protection money every year. If it can increase the revenue of the kingdom's treasury, why would the parliament reject it?"

"Quite simply, because behind the council are the nobles of the kingdom. And under the names of the major nobles, there are major chambers of commerce. Sevini replied.

"Then I don't understand it even more. This patent protection act is aimed at all chambers of commerce in the Kingdom. Don't these chambers of commerce have their own unique technology and don't need patent protection?" Xu Yi wondered.

Severny glanced at Xu Yi deeply. He sighed softly: "President Xu, if I sue you and veto this proposal, it is for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, will you believe it?"

Xu Yi looked at Sevigny in amazement, stayed for a while, and shook his head: "I don't believe it." Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now just a small chamber of commerce with annual sales of only a few hundred thousand gold coins, as for letting those big people especially target us?"

"No, President Xu, you underestimate yourself and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce too much. Since you signed an order with the Department of Agriculture for tens of thousands of small farmland magic machines, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is no longer just a small chamber of commerce. Sevigny said. "I think you should know that some time ago, His Majesty the King had already asked our Agriculture Department to announce a cooperation plan with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now everyone in the kingdom knows about your Chamber of Commerce, and also knows that your Chamber of Commerce has earned millions of gold coins just by developing some farmland magic machinery. So now many people are red-eyed, and they also want to join the magic machinery industry. Do you think that at such a time, they will let this patent bill pass to hinder them?"

Xu Yi was stunned, and let out a long breath, his expression a little helpless.

The Agricultural Department announced the cooperation plan with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was discussed with him in advance. Xu Yi did not object to this at the time, because this could greatly increase the popularity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But he never imagined that just announcing such a cooperation would immediately attract the attention of the big nobles behind so many big chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom.

After the new flying chamber becomes the target of attention, of course, some people will find that the magic machinery industry has almost infinite potential and huge profits.

It's no surprise that these people want to flock into the industry.

"No wonder President Ranko suddenly took out those drawings, it turns out that the Saranke Chamber of Commerce has long had this idea. I just don't know where the other chambers of commerce have developed now?" Xu Yi thought for a while, and said to Sevigny: "In other words, it is impossible for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop slowly in Bangta City in the future?"

"Yes. Sevigny nodded. "President Xu, I think I have to warn you. Compared to those big chambers of commerce, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still very weak. If you're not careful, there's a good chance they'll swallow it in one gulp. ”

Xu Yi nodded, but there was a sneer with endless mockery on his face.

"It's okay, sooner or later, I'm going to have to face these competitions, although it's a little early, but since I'm here, I'll take it well. These guys want to swallow our new flying chamber of commerce as a small fish, but have you ever thought that this small fish is actually swimming much faster than them, and they can't catch up at all?"
