Chapter 97: Pursuing Advertising Effectiveness
"Why? I don't understand why I'm closing the Wizard's Tower?" asked Grand Magician Camilla with a smile as he looked at the two people who had hurried over.
Xu Yi and Steele shook their heads in unison.
"Of course we don't understand!" said Steele, holding one of Grand Magician Camilla's arms, a look of concern. "Grandpa, didn't you always say that the Wizard Tower was your life's work, and you wanted to rely on it to study the mysteries of magic with all your might, and strive to become a mage, or even a great mage? Why is it suddenly closed now? Do you want to give up studying magic?"
"Who said I'm going to give up studying magic?" said Grand Magician Camilla's eyes widened.
"And what are you doing closing the Wizard's Tower?" asked Steele, puzzled. "This Wizard Tower was built with great difficulty, how do you study magic when you close it?"
Grand Magician Camilla shook his head, reached out and touched Steele's head, and smiled, "Steele, your understanding of magic is still too shallow. Does someone stipulate that you have to be in the Magician's Tower to study magic? For example, isn't Xu Yi's Magic Research Institute the same?"
Xu Yi and Steele were stunned at the same time, and Xu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency the Great Magician, you don't plan to go to the Magic Research Institute to study magic, do you?"
Grand Magician Camilla glanced at him, "What's the matter?"
Xu Yi "grunted", swallowed and spat with difficulty, and looked at Camilla Grand Magician with a look of disbelief.
"You...... Are you kidding? The Academy of Magic is ...... But I only study the magic array that is needed for the magic machine. If you come......"
"I just want to study the magic array that magic machinery needs, can't I?" Grand Magician Camilla asked as he glared at Xu Yi.
"This ......"
Xu Yi and Steele glanced at each other, and they both felt that this was really a bit unbelievable.
Just this time last year. Grand Magician Camilla also expressed his disgust at the combination of magic and commerce, and even scolded Xu Ye several times for it.
Although from this year. Grand Magician Camilla's attitude gradually changed, and he began to agree to Xu Yi's request. He cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in completing the research of the magic array in the magic machinery, and also asked the magicians in the Wizard Tower to assist in the research, so he helped Xu also solve a lot of problems.
But this can only be regarded as Camila's time to help out in addition to studying magic, and his own joining the Academy of Magic is a completely different concept.
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" asked Steele, surprised. "Are you really planning to work at the Academy of Magic?"
"Hmm. Grand Magician Camilla nodded with a serious expression, without the slightest intention of joking, and said to Xu Yi: "Hey, boy." Are you going to welcome me?"
"Huh, welcome...... Of course you're welcome!" Seeing that Camilla's attitude was serious, Xu Yi was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again. "Your Excellency the Great Magician, if you are willing to join our Magic Research Institute, it will be my honor, and it will also be the honor of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce! But Your Excellency the Great Magician, I still don't understand, why did you suddenly do this? Could it be that you suddenly closed the Wizard Tower because of this decision?"
Steele's eyes looked at Grand Magician Camilla without blinking, his eyes full of doubt.
Seeing that both of them looked puzzled like this, Grand Magician Camilla knew that if he didn't explain. The two guys were afraid that they would never let themselves go today, so they pointed to the stool next to them and motioned to sit down.
"Where do you start......" After the three of them sat down, Grand Magician Camilla pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he asked Steele, "Steele, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"
"Hometown?" Steele was stunned and thought for a moment. He replied, "It seems like three months since I went back last time...... Oh no, I haven't been back for almost four months. What's wrong? Grandpa. When you suddenly mentioned your hometown, did you want me to go back with you? That's good. Anyway, it's just outside the city, and it's not far away, so you can go whenever you want. ”
"That's not what I meant. Grand Magician Camilla shook her head. "Let me ask you, the last time you went back, did you notice anything change in your hometown?"
"The change in my hometown?" Steele frowned slightly, thought carefully for a while, and replied with some confusion: "There is no change...... Oh! If you really want to talk about changes, does the cousin of the second aunt's family have a son?"
"Although it's a ...... But it's not the same thing as what I'm trying to say. Grand Magician Camilla shook her head slowly. "If you go back now, you will find that your hometown is completely different from before. ”
"It's not at all, it's not that exaggerated, is it?" said Steele. "The village of Mirdan has been like that since I was a child, and it hasn't changed much. ”
"That's because you haven't been back to see it now, and you haven't inquired about it seriously. Grand Magician Camilla turned his head to look at Xu Yi. "Actually, there are really big changes in the village of Mirdan now, and the reason why these changes are happening is actually because of this kid. ”
"Because of Xu Yi?" Steele looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned and thought about it, and suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I remember, Mirdam Village, right? I have the impression of the name, if I remember correctly, it should be on the list of the first phase of the redevelopment plan for the suburbs of Bunta City. Well...... Last time, President Cruise seemed to discuss it with me, and this village of Mirdam seems to be ...... It seems that the whole demolition has been carried out. ”
"Overall demolition?" Steele was stunned and couldn't help but glare at Xu Yi. "You didn't even tell me about such a big thing!"
Xu Yi spread his hands with a wry smile: "You only said that you and Your Excellency the Great Magician are natives of Bangta City, but they are not residents of the city, how do I know that Mirdan Village is your hometown." ”
Steele thought about it for a while, and realized that he really hadn't mentioned it to Xu Yi, so he turned angry and laughed: "Okay, it's my fault." But Xu Yi, Mirdan Village is my hometown, you have to ask President Cruise to be kind to them when he demolishes them, and you can't treat them badly. ”
"How can you treat them badly? The demolition plan that I discussed with Cruise fully considered the next living conditions of the villagers in these demolished villages. It will only make their lives better in the future. If you don't believe it, ask Your Excellency the Great Magician. Xu also called Qu Dao.
"Well, I can testify to that. Grand Magician Camilla nodded. "Now the villagers are stretching their necks and looking forward to the demolition. ”
"Why?" said Steele, a little strange. "Mirdan is a place where people have lived for so long. Why are they so willing to leave? Don't they have the slightest nostalgia?"
Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Steele: "There is a greater benefit to moving away, why do you want to be nostalgic?" according to the contract signed with them by the affairs officer sent by the City Lord's Mansion. The Amrley Chamber of Commerce will choose another place to build a new batch of ...... for them What's the house?"
"Also build houses. Xu Yi hurriedly reminded.
"Yes, and build houses. I've been to see this house, and it's not only beautiful, but also very good masonry, plus the new technology of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, oh, what is it called cement reinforced concrete pouring, but it is strong. Much better than the shabby wooden and stone houses in the village. You say, let you change. Will you change it?"
"Is it really that good?" Steele looked at Xu Yi in disbelief.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "It's that good." In addition to arranging new accommodation for them, both our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amritri Chamber of Commerce have promised to give priority to hiring villagers from the demolished villages to work in our two chambers of commerce. With the salaries that our two chambers of commerce are now paying to the workers, I think this should be a good thing that many villagers will consider. ”
"Well, that must be a great thing. Steele breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and asked Grand Magician Camilla, "Grandpa, is this what you said about the change?" But I still don't understand, does this have anything to do with your decision to close the Wizard's Tower and join the Magic Research Institute?"
"Of course it does. Grand Magician Camilla let out a sigh of relief. The expression on his face was a little embarrassed and a little nostalgic. "When I went back to the village, my relatives and the villagers respected me, but I knew it. They were more afraid, afraid of who I was as a great magician. But when I went back the other day, I found that the villagers still respected me. But it's different from before, and the respect reveals closeness. And when they talk to me. It will always be mentioned that I have a good granddaughter. ”
"What does it have to do with me?" said Steele, stunned.
"Because you have an excellent boyfriend named Xu Yi. Xu is also the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Grand Magician Camilla said.
Xu Yi touched his nose in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, Great Magician, you don't have to praise me like this, will you?" ”
"Don't be embarrassed, because my little praise is nothing compared to how the villagers praise you. In their eyes, you are almost like becoming their savior. ”
Grand Magician Camilla paused, as if recalling what he had seen in Mirdan.
"Because of the advent of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there are now many more job opportunities in and around Bonta than before. In the past, the villagers could only work in the fields every year, and they were not only tired, but also had little income. Now, not only do they have farmland magic machines that make farming much easier than before, but they also have time to do other work. Now life is much better for every family in the village than before, and even when I went back, I saw that every family had meat to eat at every meal. It can be said that this qiē is all due to Xu Yiyou. ”
Xu Yi was really embarrassed at this time, and he laughed dryly and said: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, you really praised me, I just did what I wanted to do, and the result after that was just going with the flow, I didn't think about it that much." ”
"But it's true that the lives of the villagers have improved because of what you did, isn't it?" said Grand Magician Camilla. "Not only in Mirdan, but also in several surrounding villages, and everyone's lives have improved. Now as long as you are not particularly lazy, anyone can live a much better life than before. This change is too big. ”
Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the Great Magician, this is the power of industry that I talked about. The development of industry can greatly improve productivity, and then it will naturally improve people's quality of life. This qiē is a natural consequence, and it is not unusual. ”
Grand Magician Camilla sighed lightly, "I didn't understand what you said before. But after returning to the village this time, I have to admit that you were too right before. We magicians spend our days studying magic, but the magic we study only has the power of destruction, and it cannot help people's lives. And you've used magic to study the magic industry, but in such a short period of time, you've changed the lives of many people in and around Bonta City. In comparison, I'm really useless as a great magician. ”
"The same cannot be said. Xu Yi hurriedly comforted. "Your Excellency the Great Mage, many of the magic machines developed by our Chamber of Commerce are related to you now, how can you say that you are useless?"
"If I had focused on my research, I would have achieved more results. "Grand Magician Camilla said seriously. "So after returning from Mirdan Village, I seriously thought about it for two days and decided that from now on, I would devote myself to researching the magic array related to magic machinery. Xu Yi, you are right, magicians are not just a means of killing, they can also improve people's lives. ”
"But Grandpa, you don't have to close the Wizard Tower and join the Magic Academy, right?" said Steele. "Even if you keep it as it is, you can still study magic machinery with all your might?"
Grand Magician Camilla laughed and glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully.
"Steele, you don't understand what I mean, I think this kid does. ”
Xu Yi looked at Steele, who was looking at him with questions and unconvinced eyes, and smiled slightly: "Yes, of course I understand." In fact, Steele, you should also understand, because the choice of His Excellency the Great Magician is simply to pursue the effect of advertising. (To be continued......)
