Chapter 97: Pursuing Advertising Effects
"What? I don't understand why I closed the magician's tower?" Great Magician Camilla asked with a smile as she looked at the two people who came in a hurry.
Xu Yi and Steele shook their heads in unison.
"Of course we don't understand!" Steele picked up one arm of the great magician Camilla with a concerned look on his face. "Grandpa, didn't you always say that the Magician's Tower is the work of your life, you want to rely on it to study the mysteries of magic with all your strength, and strive to become a magus, or even a great magus? Why is it suddenly closed now? Do you want to give up Do you study magic?"
"Who said I was going to give up studying magic?" Camilla the Great Magician stared.
"Then why are you closing the magician's tower?" Steele asked in confusion. "This magician's tower was built by you with great difficulty. After closing it, how do you study magic?"
The great magician Camilla shook his head, stretched out his hand and touched Steele's head, and smiled: "Steer, your knowledge of magic is still too shallow. Some people stipulate that you must study magic. Is it in the magician's tower? For example, Xu Yi's magic research institute is not the same?"
Xu Yi and Steele were stunned at the same time, Xu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency the Great Mage, you don't plan to go to the Magic Academy to study magic, right?"
The great magician Camilla glanced at him: "What? Not welcome?"
Xu Yi made a "gumbling" and swallowed hard, staring at the great magician Camilla with an expression of disbelief.
"You...are you kidding me? The Magic Academy is...but it only studies the magic circles that are used in magical machinery. If you come..."
"I just want to study the magic circle that magic machinery needs to use, can't I?" Great Magician Camilla asked Xu Yi, staring at him.
"This……"
Xu Yi and Steele looked at each other, and both thought it was a bit unbelievable.
At this time last year, the great magician Camilla expressed abhorrence for the combination of magic and business, and even scolded Xu Yi several times for it.
Although since this year, the attitude of the great magician Camilla has gradually changed, and he has also begun to agree to Xu Yi's request. And also let the magicians in the magician tower also assist in the research, thus helping Xu Yi to solve many problems.
But this can only be regarded as the great magician Camilla taking time to help after researching magic. It is completely different from his own joining the magic research institute.
"Grandpa, is what you said true?" Steele asked in surprise. "Are you really planning to work at the Magic Academy?"
"Yeah." Great Mage Camilla nodded earnestly. Without the slightest intention of joking, he said to Xu Yi, "Hey, boy, do you welcome me?"
"Ah? Welcome... Of course you are welcome!" Seeing the seriousness of the great magician Camilla, Xu Yi was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again. "Your Excellency the Great Mage, if you are willing to join our Magic Research Institute, it is my honor, and it is also the honor of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce! But Your Excellency the Great Mage, I still don't understand, why did you suddenly do this? Could it be that you The sudden closure of the Magician's Tower is because of this decision?"
Steele looked at the great magician Camilla without blinking. His eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing that the two of them looked so puzzled, the great magician Camilla knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, these two guys would never let him go today, so he pointed to the stool beside him, indicating Sit down and talk.
"Where should I start..." The three of them sat down separately. The great magician Camilla pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Steele, "Steel, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?"
"My hometown?" Steele was startled, thought for a moment, and replied, "The last time I went back seemed to be three months... Oh no, I haven't been back for almost four months. What's wrong? Grandpa, you suddenly mentioned your hometown. Yes. Do you want me to accompany you back with you? Well, it's just outside the city and not far away, so you can go anytime you want."
"I didn't mean it that way." Great Mage Camilla shook her head. "I ask you, did you notice any changes in your hometown when you went back last time?"
"Changes in your hometown?" Steele frowned slightly. After thinking about it for a while, he answered with some puzzlement: "There is no change... Oh! If we really want to talk about changes, does the second aunt's cousin give birth to a son?"
"Although it counts...but it's not the same thing as what I want to say." Great Mage Camilla shook her head slowly. "If you go back now, you will find that your hometown is completely different from before."
"Completely different? It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Steele was a little strange. "Mildan Village has been like that since I was a kid. It hasn't changed."
"That's because you haven't gone back and looked at it now, and haven't seriously inquired about it." Great Magician Camilla turned to look at Xu Yi. "Actually, the changes in Mirdan Village are really great now, and the reason for these changes is actually because of this kid."
"Because of Xu Yi?" Steele looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly revealed an expression of sudden realization.
"I remember, Mildan Village, right? I have an impression of the name. If I remember correctly, it should be on the list of the first phase of the renovation plan for the suburbs of Bonta City. Um... Last time, President Cruise It seems to have been discussed with me, this Mildan village seems to be... It seems that the whole demolition is going on."
"Overall demolition?" Steele was stunned, but couldn't help but glared at Xu Yi. "You didn't tell me anything about such a big deal!"
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 not residents of the city. How do I know that Mirdan Village is your hometown."
Steele thought about it and found that he did not mention this to Xu Yi, so he turned his anger into a smile: "Okay, it's my fault. But Xu Yi, Mildan Village is my hometown, you have to let me President Cruise was kind to them when he demolished them, so he shouldn't treat them badly."
"How can you treat them badly? The demolition plan I negotiated with Cruise has fully considered the next life resettlement of the villagers in these demolished villages, and it will only make their future lives better. If you don't believe me, ask Your Excellency the Great Mage." Xu Yi called Qu Dao.
"Well, I can attest to this." Great Mage Camilla nodded. "Now the villagers in the village are craned their necks and look forward to the demolition."
"Why?" Steele was a little strange. "Mildan Village is a place where everyone has lived for so long. Why are everyone so willing to leave? Don't they have the slightest nostalgia?"
The great magician Camilla glanced at Steele: "It's better to move away, why do you want to be nostalgic? According to the contract signed by the affairs officer sent by the city lord's mansion and them, the Amri Chamber of Commerce will choose another place. Build them a new batch of that...what house?"
"It's still building a house." Xu Yi quickly reminded.
"Yes, a house is also being built. I have seen this house. Not only is it beautiful, but it also uses very good masonry, plus some new technology from the Amley Chamber of Commerce, oh. What is it called cement reinforced concrete pouring, but it is strong Much better than those shabby wooden and stone houses in the village. Say it, let you change it, will you change it?"
"Is it really that good?" Steele looked at Xu Yi in disbelief.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "That's it. In addition to arranging new accommodation for them, we, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Amli 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 currently offering to workers, I think this should be a good thing that many villagers will think."
"Well, that must be a good thing." Steele breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and asked the great magician Camilla: "Grandpa, is this the change you said? But I still don't Understood. Does this have anything to do with your decision to close the Magician's Tower and join the Magic Academy?"
"Of course it has something to do with it." Great Mage Camilla let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face was a little sighed and a little nostalgic. "When I returned to the village before, the relatives and the villagers in the village respected me very much. But I know that they are more afraid of me as a great magician. But a few days ago I When I went back, I found that although the villagers still respected me, it was different from before. The respect revealed closeness. And when they talked to me, they always mentioned that I have a good granddaughter.”
"What does it have to do with me?" Steele asked in amazement.
"Because you have an excellent boyfriend. His name is Xu Yi, and Xu Yi is the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Camilla the Great Magician said.
Xu Yi touched his nose embarrassedly: "Your Excellency the Great Mage, you don't have to praise me like that, right? I'll be embarrassed."
"Don't be embarrassed, because my praise is nothing compared to how the villagers praise you. In their eyes, you are about to become their savior."
Archmage Camilla paused. He seemed to be recalling what he had seen in Mirdan Village.
"Because of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are now many more job opportunities inside and outside the city of Bangta. In the past, the villagers could only work in the fields every year, which was not only exhausted, but also had no income. Now they are not only because of the magic of the farmland. Machinery has made farming much easier than before, and I can also take time to do other work. Now the life of every family in the village is much better than before. Even after I went back, I saw that every household had meat for every meal. It can be said that all of this is due to you, Xu Yi."
Xu Yi was really embarrassed now, hehe laughed dryly and said, "Your Excellency the Great Mage, you really exaggerated me, I just did what I wanted to do, and the results after that were all just Let it be, I don't think about it that much."
"But the villagers' lives improved because of what you did, isn't that true?" Great Mage Camilla said sternly. "It's not just Mirdan village, I have also visited several surrounding villages, and everyone's life has improved. Now as long as you are not particularly lazy, everyone can live a much better life than before. This change, but It's just too big."
Xu Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the Great Mage, this is the power of industry as I said. The development of industry can greatly improve productivity, which will naturally improve people's quality of life. All of this is a natural consequence, not unusual."
The great magician Camilla sighed: "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 are all day long. You immerse yourself in the study of magic, but the magic you develop has only the power of destruction and cannot help people's lives. However, you use magic to study the magic industry, but in such a short period of time, you have changed the lives of many people inside and outside the city of Bangta. In comparison, my big magician is really useless."
"I can't say that either." Xu Yi quickly comforted. "Your Excellency the Great Mage, many magical machines developed by our Chamber of Commerce are related to you. How can you say that you are useless?"
"If I concentrate on my research, I will only get more results." Great Mage Camilla said earnestly. "So after returning from Mirdan Village, I thought about it for two days and decided that from now on, I will do my best to study the magic circle related to magic machinery. Xu Yi, you are right, magicians are not just killing machines, they can also improve people's lives."
"But grandpa, you don't need to close the magician's tower and join the magic research institute, right?" Steele couldn't help but said. "Even if you keep it as it is, you can still study magic machinery with all your strength?"
The great magician Camilla laughed and gave Xu Yi a meaningful look.
"Steel, you don't understand what I mean, I think this kid must understand."
Xu Yi looked at Steele, who was casting doubts and dissatisfaction at him, and smiled slightly: "Yes, of course I understand. In fact, Steele, you should also understand, because the choice of the Great Mage, simply put. It's just for the sake of advertising."
