Although Xu Yi was not so willing, he had to admit that Major McConley was right, since there were some things he had already done and were known by those who should have known, it would be useless to make an attitude that had nothing to do with him and wanted to stay out of the matter.

Besides, he still has to do what should be done.

This time, Major McConley specially invited him, of course, this is not to let him help solve these technical problems, because as Xu Yi said, simple technical problems can be solved by only a few technicians sent by him.

Naturally, it was not deliberately to remind or even warn Xu Yi, because if you really want to do this, it is better for the two of you to have a private contact and have a good chat.

In addition to these things, the most important thing is to let Xu Yi reach some agreements with the military department again on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The first was to go through the follow-up procedures for the slaves who were transferred to Severny, so that these technicians specially selected by Xu Yi from his slave workers were completely owned by Severny, and it can be said that the technical backbone of this arsenal was firmly in his hands.

Then Major McConley placed another order with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the War Department.

The order includes a new production line of magic machines for the production of weapons and armor, as well as up to 100,000 tires, as well as some magic machines with special functions that the Logistics Department has proposed to the new flying chamber of commerce according to actual needs.

These special magic machinery logistics agencies did not require the new flying chamber to be delivered in a short time, strictly speaking, this is just a research and development order. I hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can develop the corresponding magic machinery to meet the requirements of the Military Logistics Department.

The New Flyer Chamber of Commerce is very experienced in this area. Because before, chambers of commerce, including the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and the Armani Chamber of Commerce, have all made similar requests to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The only difference is that the requirements of the Logistics Department of the Military Department are more special.

Major McConley, for example, wants to get his hands on a magic trebuchet. It is used to replace the extremely bulky and poorly maneuverable giant wood trebuchet that is now used by the army.

As soon as Xu Yi heard this request, he thought of several alternative plans in his heart, and he only needed to hand them over to the Magic Research Institute and Camby and others to do the corresponding practical research after he went back, and he would definitely be able to make a better alternative.

He was very pleased to sign these agreements with Major McConley.

Major McConley was naturally very pleased to see that Xu had agreed cheerfully, and had expressed great confidence.

The signing of these agreements by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is of great help to the Logistics Department, because although all of these items produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are expensive, they cost as much as 30 gold coins compared to the previous order of a set of armor from the Joseph family. But it is undoubtedly much cheaper.

More importantly, the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can enable the Logistics Agency to not only meet the basic equipment needs of the front-line army with the embarrassing financial support, but also improve the quality of equipment and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that Major McConley didn't have enough authority, I was afraid that he would now be eager to kick out the Joseph family, the former exclusive equipment supplier of the military department, and fully cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, these agreements and orders were signed. The first is to be able to make a lot of profit from it.

Although the price given by Xu Yi was slightly discounted for the sake of supplying to the military department and giving support to Sevigny, the order for 100,000 tires alone could allow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to make a huge profit of more than 200,000 gold coins.

If you add other orders, in the end, the new flying company will be able to make a total profit from this order. There will be a high probability of more than 300,000 gold coins.

In addition to direct pecuniary benefits, the supply of equipment to the military department, becoming a supplier to the military department. This is extremely helpful in enhancing and consolidating the position of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom.

The Joseph family was able to become one of the largest families in the kingdom because they controlled the iron ore business in the kingdom. It is also because they have been relying on the iron ore business to almost monopolize the supply of the military department, so far. It's almost like controlling the lifeblood of the kingdom.

Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now intervening in this, which is almost equivalent to grabbing food, which is bound to cause a backlash from the Joseph family.

But this was also expected by Xu Yi.

Meeting and negotiating with the Joseph family was a plan that Xu Yi had made before he came to Anwemar City, so he would tell Vincent that he would come to visit.

But before that, Xu Yi has another thing to decide.

When Xu Yi returned from the training ground to the annex where Count Satsuma had arranged for Grand Magician Camilla and Steele and Xu Yi to live, it was already nightfall, and Grand Magician Camilla, who had gone out early in the morning, finally returned to the other courtyard not long after Xu Yi returned.

As soon as he saw Xu Yi, he split his head and asked, "Boy, how is your current magic level?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, didn't you ask more than a month ago?"

"Nonsense, of course I remember that you told me more than a month ago that you are close to the strength of a seventh-level magician, what I want to ask you is, now that more than a month has passed, do you already have the strength of a seventh-level magician?"

"You really think of me...... But you guessed it, I think I do have the strength of a level 7 mage now. Xu Yi replied with a smile.

"Good. Grand Magician Camilla nodded, a smile of appreciation. "Since that's the case, you have the time to spare the day after tomorrow and prepare to participate in the qualification examination of the seventh-level magician. ”

Xu Yi and Steele on the side were stunned.

Steele couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, the qualification assessment of the seventh-level magician is going to Sky City, it is more than a thousand kilometers away from Sky City, how can you let Xu Yi arrive the day after tomorrow?"

"Do you think I don't know?" said Grand Magician Camilla, glaring at Steele. "Sue you, I just received a notice today that the guys from the union have finally decided to change their minds, starting this year. It's not just the mage qualification certification assessment of level 5 and below that is carried out in the wizards' union in the country, and the level 5 or above. Qualification exams for mages of level 9 and below are also completed in their home countries. So Xu Yi, you just happened to be upgraded to a seventh-level magician this year. It just so happens to be in Anweimar City to be assessed. ”

Xu Yi and Steele were stunned again.

Steele Xiumei frowned: "Since the Wizards' Guild has decided to do this, why didn't they notify it earlier? Starting the day after tomorrow, how could it be possible to notify all the sixth- to ninth-level magicians about this matter in two days? Even if it did, how could they come here so quickly?"

"Who let those guys in the union be such bastards. Grand Magician Camilla snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "But there is no need to worry too much about this problem. The reason why this qualification assessment is a month later than in previous years is that the guys from the union have been thinking about this matter, so they revealed the news a long time ago. The magician unions in various countries should have notified the sixth- to nineth-level magicians in their countries in advance to pay attention to this situation, and our Lampari Kingdom is the same. ”

"Then Grandpa, do you mean that there are actually a lot of high-level magicians from level 6 to level 9 in Anweimar City now?" asked Steele again.

"Hmm. In the past two days, I have seen many familiar faces in the city. Grand Magician Camilla nodded and said: "Besides, after the fifth level, it is very difficult for any magician to improve his level within a year, plus there are few magicians from level six to nine, and there are only fewer who need to participate in the assessment, so in fact, there are not many people who have been notified in advance this time." ”

"Grandpa, have you forgotten Xu Yi? He was only a fifth-level magician last year, and this year he has the strength of a seventh-level magician. Steele pointed at Xu Yi and said with a smug expression, as if she was the one who had grown by leaps and bounds.

Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi and snorted heavily: "I said a long time ago that this guy is a genius. It's a pity that he just doesn't want to study magic properly, otherwise I'm afraid it will only take ten years to become a great magician. ”

Xu Yi touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, we have agreed that we will never mention this issue in the future." Besides. Even if I study magic all day long, as you said, I am afraid that the improvement of my strength will not be faster than it is now, after all, there is almost no shortcut to the improvement of magic power. ”

Grand Magician Camilla snorted again. But he no longer dwells on this topic.

"You kid doesn't want to go all out into magic, but you have to take this qualification exam. Most of the people who will come to participate in the assessment this time are magicians from level 6 to level 9 in the kingdom. When you go to the test, you can get to know more of these magicians by the way. Suppose you can pull a few people into the Academy of Magic. The work of the institute will be much easier in the future. ”

Xu Yi nodded in agreement, and then felt a little funny.

At this time last year, Grand Magician Camilla still hated combining magic and business, and now once he changed his mind, he not only joined the Magic Research Institute himself, but even took the initiative to make suggestions and let Xu Yi pull other magicians into the Magic Research Institute.

The contrast between the front and back is too great.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and Xu Yi asked again: "By the way, Your Excellency the Great Magician, the qualification certification assessment of magicians at level 5 and below is that the union sends a higher-level magician to be responsible for the assessment, but it is difficult for magicians from level 6 to level 9 to do so, right? How can there be so many higher-level magicians in the guild? Especially for the assessment of level 9 magicians, only the great magician is higher." ”

"That's right, so according to the regulations, the senior magician qualification certification assessment from level six to level nine will have a great magician present. And because this year happens to be a meeting, calling us old guys, and it is the first year to change the system, so in this year's senior magician qualification examination, the five great magicians in the Lampari Kingdom, including me, will be present. Grand Magician Camilla replied.

Xu Yi's eyes lit up suddenly: "So you will also be responsible for the assessment?" Your Excellency the Great Magician, you already know my magic level anyway, why don't you make it convenient, can you directly give me a place for Tongguò?"

Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi coldly: "What do you say?" (to be continued......)
