Chapter 17: The Unstoppable Headquarters of the Wizards' Guild
Although it is also organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is also a gathering related to the magic industry, the Sainz Continent Magic Industry Industry Forum and the Magic Industry Industry Standard Determination Conference are two completely different gatherings.
At the Magic Industry Industry Forum, representatives of various countries and chambers of commerce who participated in the conference mainly exchanged information on various aspects of the magic industry, and then mainly focused on various cooperation agreements, focusing on the business part.
At the Magic Industry Standards Determination Conference, although the participants were also representatives from various countries and chambers of commerce, the topics discussed were more focused on the development of various standards, industry rules and norms, and a series of research discussions related to the magic industry.
Compared to the vast majority of the senior management of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who paid more attention to getting more cooperation projects at the Industry Forum, Xu also paid much more attention to the Magic Industry Industry Standard Determination Meeting held a month after the Magic Industry Industry Forum.
Because at this meeting, the relevant standards of the current magic industry on the continent will be uniformly formulated, and all countries and magic industry-related chambers of commerce on the Sainz continent will be promoted in the future, requiring each other to implement this standard.
Of course, these standards were all set by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and no other country or chamber of commerce is in a position to question them at this time.
Therefore, Xu Yi attaches great importance to this meeting, because he needs to formulate enough detailed and strict standards in advance when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in the absolute leading position, so that it can be easier to control the development and establishment of the magic industry industrial system. Avoid wasting a lot of manpower, material resources and valuable time due to different standards.
In addition, in the formulation of industry rules and norms. The new flying chamber of commerce is not like it is when it is setting standards. Sole Discretion.
After all, each country on the continent of Sainz has its own special circumstances, and even if you want to unify the rules and regulations of the industry, you need to take into account the peculiarities between these different countries.
To this end, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has taken the initiative to establish a Magical Industry Industry Management Committee, which is dedicated to formulating industry rules and regulations, and is responsible for strengthening the ties between all the Magical Industry Chambers of Commerce on the continent.
This thing is actually somewhat close to the original business federation and wizard union and other organizations on the Sainz continent, but because the magic industry has developed rapidly on the Sainz continent in recent years, this magic industry industry federation has been established. It is very powerful and influential.
In addition, also because of the proposal of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Industry Federation further passed a new standard for all personnel involved in the magic industry.
In the case of ordinary skilled workers, for example, they will be divided into levels one to five, and then senior titles and expert titles.
At the same time, there is also a hierarchy of the more special types of people involved in the magic industry, that is, magicians.
However, unlike ordinary skilled workers, who are mainly divided according to their skill level, magicians are first divided into two categories, one is the basic magician technician who specializes in drawing magicians, and the other is the researcher who is responsible for the research of magical machinery-related technologies.
In both categories, technicians are also divided into five levels. They indicate that the magician is able to master the level of the magic circle he draws, and the sophistication of the magic circle he draws.
Researchers are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Then there are the expert and master levels, which represent their depth of research in the technical aspects of magical machinery.
Basically, these levels are determined with reference to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's own classification of the various magician practitioners in the Chamber of Commerce, and there is not much difference.
And after such a division, a very strange phenomenon is reflected.
That is, even if your so-called magic level as a mage may be very high, when you determine the level of your magic machine professional skills, you may not be as good as a mage with a lower magic level than you.
And because the magic industry is now booming throughout the Sainz continent, people's attitudes towards magicians have also changed dramatically.
Before that, people judged whether a magician was strong or not by whether his magic level was high enough.
If the magic level is high enough, it means that the magician can use a higher level of magic, and naturally it will be more powerful, and of course it will be feared by more people.
Now, if a magician wants to be valued and respected, he must be recognized at the level of professional skill in magic machinery.
Otherwise, what's the use of you even if you are a mage?
Unless you're a Magister, how useful is it?
Besides, even if it's a magister, isn't it still killed by those military magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce......
Under such a change in mentality, some things that were previously taken for granted by many people have gradually changed.
And some of the people who had always seemed to be high in the past had to lower their heads......
On the fourth day of the Magic Industry Standards Determination Conference, Xu Yi, who had just participated in a discussion meeting on the development of differentiated protection measures for different national industry standards, welcomed a special guest.
"Hey, Sir Alex Ferguson, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you still seem to be in good spirits, which is really gratifying. Xu Yi smiled and greeted Grand Magician Christopher Ferguson.
The Ferguson Grand Magician stared at Xu Yi for a long time, couldn't help but show a wry smile, and shook his head slightly.
Since the unexpected fall of the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce five years ago, the Wizard Guild of Wizards who had openly broken with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and even called on all the magicians of the entire continent to boycott the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has fallen silent in an instant.
In the past five years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has led all countries on the mainland to vigorously develop the magic industry, but the Magician Guild has never raised any objections, and even does not do anything superfluous except for some basic work fixed every year, such as the wizard rating.
Many people believe that the Wizards' Guild apparently recognized the fact that the Wizards' Guild was no longer a threat or even a jurisdiction over the Wizards' Guild from the fall of Levin Hassoko and the ease with which the Magic Kingdom of Mana was easily defeated by the Wizards' Guild.
So they naturally chose Taoguang Obscure, which is also a very wise choice.
Now, five years later, the prestige of the Wizards' Guild on the continent of Sainz has been decreasing with the rapid development of the magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even the Wizards' Guild Headquarters has become weaker and weaker in its control over the Wizards' Guild branches in various countries.
The reason is that the integration of mages with the magic industry can bring huge benefits, and the headquarters of the mages union has always held a hostile attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, making it difficult for the mages to participate in it.
As a result, the branches of the Magicians' Guild in many countries simply negotiated and cooperated directly with various magician-related chambers of commerce in private, ignoring the orders of the Magicians' Guild Headquarters.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the Elders Council of the Wizards' Guild Headquarters finally couldn't sit still.
They knew that if this continued, the Wizards' Guild, which had thousands of years of history in the entire Sainz continent, would really be eliminated by this era.
And if you want not to be eliminated, you must take the initiative to make changes.
So the great magician of Ferguson was sent to Xu Yi again after five years.
But at the first glance of Xu Yi, the great magician of Ferguson saw at a glance that compared with Xu Yi five years ago, Xu Yi's current magic level has undoubtedly grown by leaps and bounds.
Five years ago, Xu Yi's strength was probably about the same as that of the Ferguson Grand Magician, but now, Xu Yi's faintly revealed aura and the natural fluctuations of magic around him reflected that his magical strength had reached an extremely advanced level, more than a step beyond the Ferguson Great Magician.
Before the Ferguson Grand Magician came here, he had heard rumors that Xu Yi even had the strength of a five-star Great Magician, and he was only one step away from the Magister.
At that time, he didn't believe it, because five years ago, Xu Yi was only a two-star great magician, and five years later, he was promoted to a five-star great magician?
However, now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but believe it.
So he could only smile bitterly.
Five years have passed, not only has the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce become an unshakable behemoth at the headquarters of the Magician Guild, but even Xu Yi himself has almost become a top magician that people can only look up to.
When the current Ferguson Grand Magician faced Xu Yi, he completely lost the lofty posture and condescending feeling of leaning against the headquarters of the Magician Guild five years ago.
Even...... A hint of humility hung on his face involuntarily.
"President Xu, I haven't seen you for five years, but you are becoming more and more mature. The Ferguson Grand Magician laughed. "I thought you would refuse my request this time, but I didn't expect you to readily agree. ”
"Why refuse?" Xu Yi shrugged. "There are old friends who want to see me after five years, why should I turn them away?"
Grand Magician Ferguson laughed dryly, paused, and continued: "Okay, I know that President Xu has always been a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense, so I'll just say it." President Xu, on behalf of the headquarters of the Magician Guild, I would like to make a suggestion on behalf of the headquarters of the Magician Guild regarding the proposal put forward by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce yesterday to evaluate the professional skills of magic machinery for magicians involved in the magic industry. ”
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at the Ferguson Grand Magician with a smirk.
It seems that the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild finally can't hold back and wants to do something. (To be continued......)
