Chapter 44 Strange Phenomenon

"The achievements of the elves in magic? If it was before the racial war, it must have been much better than us humans. But after the racial war, more than 3,000 years have passed, and the magic level of the elves now, It's not necessarily much taller than us humans."

"I can't see it. The lifespan of the elves is much stronger than that of us humans, and the inheritance is more complete. In addition, where can the elves have all kinds of chores like us, they can always concentrate on studying magic, so their magic The level will only get higher and higher."

"I'm afraid this is not right. The creativity of the elves is not as good as that of us humans. We humans can carry out various innovations and improvements in magic in the past three thousand years. The elves can be said to be very few. This was reflected before the race war. It's very obvious. As I see it, the level of magic of our humans is probably far beyond that of the elves now."

"Huh! Creativity? You guys are always proud of the creativity of human beings, but who are you to tell me that things like magic machinery are very novel, but they are not complicated, why wait for Xu Yi? Only when the fourth-level magicians appear will they be researched? And none of us, the great magicians, have researched it?"

As soon as President Allen said the words, several people present were silent.

This is the regular high-level meeting of the Magician Guild of the Lampari Kingdom. The only five great magicians in the Lampari Kingdom attended the meeting.

The original theme of the meeting was to make a summary report on the qualification certification assessment of the Magician's Union held this year, and let the four great magicians except President Allen give their opinions.

However, when discussing the specific situation of this year's assessment, several great magicians discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, the number of low-level magicians who participated in the assessment this year has increased significantly, and even nearly doubled compared to last year. Compared with the previous year, it was nearly three times higher.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Because in the circle of magicians, low-level magicians naturally occupy the vast majority, but in fact, most of these low-level magicians are very old, but they still can't make much breakthrough in magic level. , a magician who is considered to have no future.

For this kind of magician, because they all know that their magical talent is not enough, it is difficult to improve in this life, so most magicians basically give up the idea of ​​upgrading their magician level. And even if you think about it, it is difficult to improve because of the limitation of magic talent, so in fact, basically you will not come to participate in the qualification level certification assessment of the Magician Guild.

Generally speaking, most of the people who will come to participate in the low-level magician qualification examination are young talented magicians.

But this year is different. The number of magicians who signed up for this year's qualification certification assessment has suddenly increased, and many of them are old magicians who are considered to have no future.

You must know that the magician qualification certification test is not free. It will cost a full five gold coins to sign up for a name, not to mention that you must come to Anweimar City to participate in the qualification certification test. Food and lodging, etc. are also expensive.

So unless you feel that your magical strength has been greatly improved. Be sure to pass a higher-level qualification certification assessment, otherwise no magician will waste time, energy and money running to participate in the qualification certification assessment.

This year, a large number of magicians who participated in the low-level magician qualification examination, many obviously did not have a significant improvement in magic strength, but they still came to participate.

There are even a few magicians who risked being delisted after being discovered by the magician's guild for cheating. There are also attempts to pass higher-level qualifications.

This is really strange, so during the summary report, several great magicians discussed this phenomenon.

The reason why these low-level magicians do this. Of course, because there are benefits to be gained, otherwise no one will waste time, energy and money in vain. Even taking huge risks.

But where is this benefit?

After discussing for a while, the great magician Isenka proposed a possibility. That is related to the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce built all over the Kingdom of Lampari.

Driven by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, almost everyone in the Lampari Kingdom has seen the huge benefits and potential of the existence of magic machinery, so especially this year, the Lampari Kingdom has sprung up in various cities like mushrooms after a rain. Various chambers of commerce that produce magical machinery.

Since it is the production of magic machinery, of course, a large number of magicians will be required to be responsible for setting up the magic circle.

As for setting up a magic circle, in fact, as long as it is not a particularly advanced and powerful magic circle, an ordinary low-level magician can complete it, because if it is just to set up a magic circle, the requirements for magic power are not high.

As a result, the demand for low-level magicians in the Lampari Kingdom has increased sharply.

Before that, the low-level magicians in the Lampari Kingdom were actually no better than ordinary people. There was almost no other good way out except to work as guards in the Chamber of Commerce.

Now that there is an easy and simple task of drawing magic circles, and it is also related to the study of magic, it is naturally warmly welcomed by all low-level magicians.

Of course, choice goes both ways. Magicians can choose which chamber of commerce to work for, and the chamber of commerce also chooses which magician to hire.

Even if it is the simplest work of drawing a magician, of course, more advanced magicians are much stronger than lower-level magicians.

What's more, many ambitious chambers of commerce also hope to be able to develop their own unique magic machinery like the new flying chamber of commerce, and make a lot of money. Of course, they need more advanced magicians.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, how to judge the strength of a magician? The best certificate is naturally the qualification certification assessment of the Magician's Guild.

So last year, the number of the magicians' union's qualification certification assessment has increased, and this year, there has been a big outbreak. The number of magicians who came to participate in the assessment almost accounted for three full of the registered magicians of the magician's union. Two out of ten!

There are even many magicians who have never participated in the qualification examination of the Magician's Union before, and who are not on the registration form of the Magician's Union at all.

"Of course they will be active. Now there is a clear price tag in Anweimar City. Regardless of the primary magician, the minimum monthly salary of the second-level magician is ten gold coins. The minimum monthly salary of the third-level magician is fifteen gold coins, and the fourth-level magician has a minimum monthly salary of 15 gold coins. The minimum monthly salary has been raised to twenty-five gold coins. As for magicians of level 5 and above. The price is negotiable."

After hearing the words of the great magician Esenka, including the great magician Camilla, the other four great magicians were all stunned.

For this phenomenon, a more conservative tradition of the Trucchi magician could not help but criticized.

In his opinion, the magician's job is to study magic. These low-level magicians don't concentrate on studying magic, but because these chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery offer a monthly salary of more than ten gold coins, it suddenly becomes like this. To be active really loses the dignity of a magician.

In this regard, the great magician of Isenka sneered: "Can dignity be eaten? These low-level magicians do not have special financial support from the kingdom like us, and it is even less likely that they can get large sums of money with their fame. Don't forget. They are also human beings, and they also have to live. What's more, even researching magic requires a lot of gold coins. If you don't let them find a way to make money, can't you let them die?"

For the rebuttal of the great magician Isenka, the great magician Truch was speechless.

Later, with the testimony of the great magician Camilla, the other three great magicians became more clear that the reason for this peculiar phenomenon was indeed due to the demand of the magic machinery trade associations that emerged from all over the kingdom of Lampari.

Because of this, the five great magicians involuntarily brought the topic to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Then naturally, it was extended to Xu Yi.

After talking about Xu Yi, the great magician Esenka asked the great magician Camilla about Xu Yi's current whereabouts.

Because Xu Yi did not come to participate in this year's magician qualification examination, the other three great magicians were also very concerned about what Xu Yi was doing.

When they learned from the great magician of Camilla that Xu Yi was now going to the Principality of Standing for an investment investigation, several great magicians could not help but express their pity at the same time.

Because in their opinion. Xu Yi's magic talent is extremely high. If he is willing to concentrate on his research on magic, maybe the sixth great magician will appear in Lampari Kingdom soon.

When I heard the great magician of Camilla mention that Xu Yi was going to discuss cooperation with the Moon Shadow tribe, the elf tribe of the Principality of Standing. The topic of several great magicians turned to the discussion of elves magic, and then there was a debate about who is stronger in elves magic and human magic.

About this question. Archmage Camilla and President Allen remained neutral, feeling that the two sides should be about the same level.

Trucchi and Torres are more conservative and cautious. It is believed that the level of elves magic that has been passed down for thousands of years is high.

As for the great magician of Esenka, he is a radical and a full-fledged humanist, who believes that the level of magic of human beings has already surpassed that of elves.

But when President Allen asked why the magic machine was not researched by the great magicians, but Xu Yi first researched it, the other four great magicians could only be speechless.

Especially the great magician Isenka couldn't help but feel a trace of shame in his heart.

Compared with the other four great magicians who have always focused on magic, the great magician Isenka is actually very focused on the combination of magic and commercial applications, but he has been focusing on it for so many years, but he has never considered magic machinery. Instead, let Xu Yi, a low-level magician whose magic level was not worth mentioning in his opinion, be the first to study it.

"This... it can only be said that our minds have become rigid..." After being silent for a while, the great magician Isenka twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. "And... I have to say that this kid Xu Yi is really a genius. There are many places where even I can only be ashamed."

The big magician Camilla raised the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but smile.

Xu Yi is now Steele's husband, and he has grown up a little bit, and praising Xu Yi is even more pleasing to him than praising him.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing when this phenomenon occurs..." President Allen frowned after thinking for a while, "Although there have been so many production magics driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The mechanical chamber of commerce enables many low-level magicians to find good jobs smoothly, and solves a problem that has been a headache for our magician's union for a long time. But this way, I am afraid that those low-level magicians will choose to enter these chambers of commerce in the future Work, so I am more inclined to study the magic circle, but no longer focus on the study of magic. This may not be a good thing..."

"Researching the magic circle can improve the level of magic." The great magician Camilla said indifferently: "I haven't told you yet, since I closed the magic tower and entered the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to concentrate on studying the magic circle, my magic level has changed. The improvement is very fast, and now it should have the strength of a fourth-level great magician." (To be continued..)
