Chapter 8: Let the Trade Union Cooperate?

The two largest empires, the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire, are the two largest countries on the Sains Continent, and their combined territory occupies more than half of the entire continent. ,

In the extremely broad territories of the two empires, there is a border line of more than 10,000 kilometers connected together. A line just crosses the middle of the Sainz continent. It is the Candela Empire, which is clearly divided.

But if you look at it from the map, you will find that this long border line is in the center of the entire continent, but it has been dug out abruptly, which looks extremely abrupt.

But when you see the name of this piece of land marked on the map, you will take it for granted.

Because the name of this land is called the city of the sky.

Sky City is definitely the most special city on this continent. The reason is very simple, because it is the headquarters of the Magician's Union.

Since the time of the race war three thousand years ago, the Magician's Guild has been established on the continent of Sainz and has continued to this day.

No matter how turbulent the continent was or how the country changed in the past three thousand years, no one has ever dared to touch the land where the Sky City is located.

In everyone's mind, this is the holy land of magicians, the most mysterious and powerful city in the world.

Not to mention the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire, even the Landis Empire, which unified the entire continent 1,500 years ago, would not dare to step its army here.

Offending the Magicians Union is equivalent to offending all the magicians in the whole continent.

Laputa in the Sky is a city in its name, but it actually covers a huge area. The total area even exceeds 3,000 square kilometers. Only a city in the core area can be regarded as a real sky city. The rest of the place is the exclusive territory under the name of the Magicians Guild.

And in this city in the sky, which occupies an equally large area, even larger than the capitals of the two major empires, the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire, there is also a core area, which is the towering entrance in the center of the entire city. Stone tower with clouds.

The stone tower is more than 300 meters high from the ground. From a distance, it looks like a needle inserted directly into the clouds.

When this stone tower was first established at the headquarters of the Magician's Union, it was only seven floors and less than 20 meters high. However, with the continuous development of the Magician's Union, this stone tower became taller and taller. In the end, it was raised to the astonishing height it is now.

Of course, with the current level of construction on the Sainz continent, it is absolutely impossible to build a tower of this height successfully.

The reason why this stone tower can stand upright is entirely because the Magician's Union embedded countless powerful magic circles in it, and forcibly used the power of magic to ensure its uprightness.

This stone tower called the Tower of the Sky is not only a symbol of the entire Sky City, but also a representative of the powerful power of the entire Magician's Guild.

However, if you are qualified to enter the top of the Sky Tower and look up, you will find an even more amazing fact.

The top of the Sky Tower is already more than 300 meters from the ground, but it is above the top. But there is still a huge disc that just floats above the sky out of thin air, no matter how the strong wind howls in the sky. But still stood still.

This magical disc is known as the place closest to the sky on the Sainz Continent, and it is also the holy place worshiped by almost all magicians on the continent - the Seat of Magic!

This is a holy place, and it is also a forbidden place. Except for the elders in the union headquarters council recognized by the magicians union, anyone who tries to enter here will be ruthlessly killed.

The council of elders, which decides most important matters of the Continental Magician's Union, is held here most of the time.

Today is the monthly regular meeting of the Council of Elders. Except for the three elders who have a task to leave, the remaining thirteen elders are all listed.

All eyes were focused on the great magician Ferguson who was giving a report at this time, listening attentively.

"...According to my observations, the magicians working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are currently at least significantly superior to other magicians of the same level in terms of magic circle... no, not only one, but a lot of strength. As for other On the one hand, because there is not enough time to verify, it is temporarily impossible to judge."

The great magician Ferguson put down the report he had prepared in advance, glanced at the other twelve elders of the headquarters council, cleared his throat, and continued solemnly: "If I have to make a conclusion, then I have no doubts about these low-level magicians. The prospects for us to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very promising. Therefore, I support the plan proposed by Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and agree to the specific cooperation between the trade union and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

The rest of the elders were silent for a moment, and then turned their eyes to an elderly magician in white robe sitting at the top of the round table.

This white-robed magician is Roddick Gascoigne, the current president of the Sainz Continental Magicians Union. He is seventy-three years old this year, but there is not a single white hair on his head. His face is rosy, and he looks strange. good.

Since becoming the president of the Magician's Guild 23 years ago, the reputation and influence of the Magician's Guild on the continent of Sainz has been steadily increasing over the years, and it can be said that it has an inseparable relationship with him.

If there is anything that needs to be decided by the Council of Elders, everyone always wants to listen to his opinion first.

President Gascoigne, who was being watched by everyone, pondered for a moment, and asked the great magician Ferguson: "What is the attitude of Magister Camilla?"

The great magician Ferguson was slightly taken aback. He was talking about the cooperation between the trade union and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. How could the adult suddenly change the topic to the attitude of the magister Camilla?

"Magistrate Camilla didn't make a clear statement, but..." The great magician Ferguson recalled the situation when he met Magister Camilla before, and replied: "Magistrate Camilla is very supportive of Xu Yi, he It gives me the feeling...it seems that he is very satisfied with his work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is very devoted."

"Is that because Xu Yi is his grandson-in-law?" An elder member of the council laughed.

"No, that's not the case." The great magician Ferguson shook his head slowly. "I can see that Magister Camilla loves her current job. She is very passionate about it."

"this……"

The other elder councilors looked at each other. Some can't believe it.

That's a magister!

As a magister standing at the top level of the magician world in the entire continent. But it's incredible to be so devoted to gadgets like magic machines.

"Then, has Magister Camilla made any statement regarding Xu Yi's proposal?" President Gascoigne asked again.

The great magician Ferguson is no longer wondering why President Gascoigne always focuses on Magister Camilla.

With the addition of Magister Camilla, there are only twenty-eight magisters in the entire Sainz Continent, and each of them is recognized as the top figure on the Sainz Continent.

Before that, the Magician Union of the Kingdom of Lampari suddenly reported that Great Magician Camilla had made a breakthrough and became a magister, but it caused a great commotion in the Magician Union.

Because nine years have passed since the last magister appeared, and no new magister appeared in the entire Sainz continent during these nine years. It even made the Magician's Union feel a little crisis.

After all, the strong prestige and influence of the Magicians Guild on the mainland is based on all magicians, or to put it more bluntly, it is built on the top magicians such as great magicians and magisters. .

Especially magicians at the magister level, because their strength far exceeds that of ordinary magicians, everyone can be regarded as a key person who can decide most things, so no matter in their country or in the magicians union, they will receive the highest praise. Specifications are taken seriously.

The Maro Empire and the Candela Empire each have seven magisters, and each of them has an extremely detached status in the empire, which cannot be compared with any great noble.

However, a magister suddenly appeared in a small country like the Lampari Kingdom, which is enough to be on an equal footing with His Majesty the King!

But beyond everyone's expectations. Such a magister, who had never appeared since the founding of the Lampari Kingdom, announced that he would accept the employment of a chamber of commerce. Become an employee of this chamber of commerce!

Almost everyone thinks that this is entirely because Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is the grandson-in-law of Camilla Magister, which makes him willing to accept the employment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really has the qualifications to attract a magister.

But now the great magician Ferguson said that the magister Camilla was actually voluntary, and she was really enthusiastic about researching the so-called magic machinery, which was unexpected.

From this point of view, his support for the plan proposed by Xu Yi will determine the attitude of the Magicians Union towards this plan.

"Mage Camilla didn't make a specific statement, but he told me that this kind of thing can be completely handed over to Xu Yi, and the trade union can cooperate well." The great magician Ferguson replied.

"Let us cooperate with him?" Several elder councilors made surprised voices in unison.

"Are you kidding me!" An elder patted the table lightly. "It's their luck that the union is able to take a fancy to their small chamber of commerce. Now it's fine for him to propose a plan to us, but he still wants us to actively cooperate with them? Is there a mistake!"

The great magician Ferguson coughed lightly: "This... this is what the magister Camilla said. President Xu hopes that the trade union can negotiate and jointly determine the cooperation method."

"So what did Magister Camilla say?" Another elder snorted coldly. "We respect the opinions of Magister Camilla, but this does not mean that the union will lose its dominance in this matter. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs to follow the arrangement of the union headquarters in this matter, and there is no need to think so much What the hell plan."

The great magician Ferguson looked at the excited elders with a slightly embarrassed face, thinking that he had expressed his willingness to support Xu Yi's proposal just now, but now he has been opposed by so many people, this is simply hitting him Face.

He could only turn his head to look at President Gascoigne.

He is very clear that the tone of this kind of matter will ultimately be set by the president. (To be continued..)
