Chapter 51 The Status of Magicians and Merchants

"That's right, I don't have enough gold coins now, and I can't even support the operation of this magic tower." Hearing Xu Yi's ruthless piercing, the great magician Camilla didn't look too injured, just gently He sighed and happily admitted this reality. "But Xu Yi, I don't like the smell of money being stained with magic. This is my principle, and you don't have to bother to change my mind."

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Your Excellency the Great Mage, can I ask why you think...the combination of magic and money will definitely smell like copper? In my opinion, this is a complete fallacy. As I said just now, money is innocent, and how to use it depends entirely on the will of the person who uses it. You think magic and money are not a good combination, but I think the opposite. If you combine magic and money properly Together, it can make a very beautiful change.”

"Wonderful?" Archmage Camilla snorted heavily. "Let you, a guy with a strong magician talent, be reduced to a vulgar businessman, is this the so-called wonderful change?"

Xu Yi frowned a little deeper: "Your Excellency the Great Magician, your prejudice is too serious. Perhaps in the tradition of Sainz Continent, the status of magicians is far higher than that of businessmen. But in my opinion, Sainz The businessmen on the Ensi Continent do much better than the magicians."

"Nonsense!" The great magician Camilla slammed the table hard, stood up angrily, pointed at Xu Yi and scolded: "How dare you say that magicians are not as good as those dirty businessmen? Those businessmen can What are they doing? They will only steal money from other people's hands with a dark conscience. Both their eyes and minds are filled with dirty gold coins, and they don't even care about their own honor! Such a guy, you actually take them To be compared with a magician? Are you humiliating me?"

"Then the great magician, what are the magicians doing?" Xu Yi sneered: "Do you keep researching more powerful magic, and then kill people faster and more efficiently?"

"You..." Great Magician Camilla originally reprimanded Xu Yi for talking nonsense again, but suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly discovered that Xu Yi was right at all.

Yes, the status of magicians on Sainz Continent is very high, but why? Of course, it is because the power of magicians is far greater than that of ordinary people, and the most obvious point is that on the battlefield, the lethality of magicians using magic far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.

In the history of Sainz Continent, there have been countless wars between different countries, and in these wars, the magicians can play a vital role in each time.

There are even some particularly powerful magicians, such as mages at the level of magisters and even great mages. Just one or two can change the situation of a battle, which in turn affects the entire war.

So for a long time, the magicians on the Sainz Continent have been continuously revered and respected by people, and their status has been continuously improved.

But no matter how high the status of the magicians is, it can't change the fact that Xu Yi is absolutely right, what the magicians have been doing is constantly researching more powerful magic.

As for why study powerful magic? Of course, in order to be able to play a more powerful role on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it means killing people faster and more efficiently.

Thinking of this, the big magician Camilla's face that was blushing because of Xu Yi's words instantly turned pale, and the hand pointing at Xu Yi also began to shake violently. After a while, he slumped back on the stool with a plop. , was speechless for a while.

Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly, thinking that if it wasn't for a special situation, he wouldn't be willing to speak so bluntly in front of the great magician Camilla.

However, this is indeed his true thoughts.

He can understand why the magician has such a high status on the Sainz Continent, but that doesn't mean he agrees with it.

In Xu Yi's view, it is important to have great power, because it can protect yourself and the things you care about when necessary.

But beyond that, what's more important is ordinary life.

Humans have moved from barbarism to civilization because they want to pursue a better life.

Because of this drive, human beings have invented various tools, from the ancient Stone Age to the age of highly developed civilizations on Earth.

With the development of human civilization, human beings have also changed from lack of food to worry-free, and can even go to the world and the sea, and even travel in space.

If this is lost, then human civilization will also lose the motivation to move forward, I am afraid that at this time it will still be no different from beasts.

The power of magic is very powerful, but Xu Yi is more willing to use the power of magic to improve people's quality of life.

So he combined the power of magic and used his mechanical knowledge to invent the magic fan, so that people in Bangta City can enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

Then he invented the magic harvester, which greatly improved the efficiency of wheat harvesting, and also made a group of nobles such as Viscount Leslie have enough confidence in planting a larger area of ​​wheat in the coming year, thereby indirectly increasing the grain output of Bonta City. .

Next, he will also invent more diverse magic machines to help people in this world get a better life through these magic machines.

He even hopes to establish a complete industrial system on the Sainz Continent, so that the people of the Sainz Continent can also live a life that ordinary people on Earth can live.

Xu also knows that it is very difficult to achieve this ideal, but he will not back down.

Because in the process of inventing these magical machines, he not only rediscovered the pleasure of researching machinery knowledge that he had lost for three years, but also gained a pleasure of changing the world.

Now, the first thing he wants to change is the thinking of the great magician Camilla.

"His Excellency the Great Mage, IMHO, although businessmen, as you said, have filled their eyes and minds with gold coins, it is precisely because of this that they try to produce and sell goods. It is precisely because of these interests that the items on the Sainz Continent will circulate with each other, and people will not always face the dilemma of lacking one or the other. Perhaps there are many scum among them, even their own in order to earn gold coins. Conscience betrayed together, but we can't deny the change they bring, can we?"

The great magician Camilla was silent, his face kept changing, and after a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi, I admit that what you said makes sense, but it has nothing to do with what you really want to say? Come on, what exactly do you want to say?"

Xu Yi carefully observed the face of the great magician Camilla, and found that he seemed to have recovered, so he couldn't help laughing.

After all, the great magician Camilla is a sophisticated and wise old man, and it is not so easy to be knocked down.

"Your Excellency the Great Mage, let's go back to the actual problem. You don't have enough gold coins to support the consumption of the magic tower, so have you cooperated with me? I can provide you with enough gold coins. Hey, let's not hide it from you. Said, my recent income is not bad." Xu Yi smiled.

"Hmph, it's about letting me cooperate with you in business again." Great Mage Camilla snorted coldly and waved her hand. "Needless to say, I said this is my principle and will not change it."

"Your Excellency the Great Mage, why don't you just listen to me?" Xu Yi continued. "I think the reason why you hate to combine magic and business is because once you combine business, it will affect your magical research, and second, you feel that helping businessmen earn ordinary people's money will make you uneasy, I Is that right?"

Archmage Camilla snorted again, but did not object.

"Very well, if your scruples are these, then I can tell you that you and I cooperate without any problems in these two aspects."

"Will it affect my magic research, let's not talk about it, if I cooperate with you, won't you make money from ordinary people?" Great Magician Camilla asked in a muffled voice. "Do you think I would believe your naive reasons?"

Hearing the looseness in Great Magician Camilla's tone, Xu Yi smiled, took out a drawing from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Great Magician Camilla.

"Of course I won't say I don't make ordinary people's money, but what would you think if I told you that those people want me to make their money?"

"Are you kidding me?" Great Mage Camilla stared. "Is there anyone in this world who wants others to make their own money?"

"It's very simple because they need something that no one can give them but me. But these things are very important to them, and you think in such a situation, they will still care about me earning a little bit. Money?" Xu Yi smiled.

"How could there be such a thing?" Great Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi, but couldn't help but turn his eyes to the blueprint.

After a glance, the great magician Camilla said in surprise: "What is this? Why does it look so strange? What is it for?"

Xu Yi thought to himself that he had heard this question many times since he started inventing the magic machine.

"Well, this thing is the very special thing I told you just now. With this thing, it will solve a lot of problems that have troubled them for a long time. Even if they know that I will make money from this, they will You will definitely be grateful to me in your heart." Before he knew it, Xu Yi had come to the great magician Camilla's side, leaned over the drawing and began to explain. "First of all, this thing is called a magic ripper..."
