"It's not polite to say that most of the magicians on the continent don't understand what magic is at all."
Xu Yi's first words made the crowd fall into a deathly silence.
Whether it was the reporters or the citizens on the side, they all looked at Xu Yi in shock, looking like they didn't dare believe this.
This Xu Yi ….. did he know what he was talking about?
Even if he was the peak Arch Magus on the continent and could defeat many Arch Magi, being called the strongest magician on the continent by many people, he couldn't be this arrogant, right?
Saying that most magicians didn't understand what magic was?
Could it be that only he understood?
After the shock, the crowd under the stage became noisy.
The reporters whispered to each other, expressing their different understandings of Xu Yi's words.
However, no matter who it was, they all felt that Xu Yi's words were too excessive. It really wasn't something that should be said in public.
The reporter from the « Banta Times » who asked the question didn't even raise his hand as he stood up to ask Xu Yi in a loud voice, "Chairman Xu, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean?
Of course it means what it means. "Xu Yi naturally replied.
The crowd fell into silence again.
That reporter was quite choked up by Xu Yi's words. After pausing, he continued to ask, "Chairman Xu, can I understand this as you looking down on the magicians of the continent?"
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling.
The Sines newspaper industry had only developed for over ten years, it was much worse compared to earth, but these reporters had learned how to dig holes. Even if it was a reporter from the « Banta Times » that should be closer, he wasn't polite at all.
However, it was like he didn't hear the meaning in the reporter's words at all as he nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am looking down on them."
This answer was like throwing a flame into a pot of oil, instantly causing the restless atmosphere under the stage to explode.
For a moment, countless noises rang out, causing the huge city square to become a pot of chaotic porridge.
Xu Yi kept a smile on his face as he looked at the chaotic reporters below the stage. He thought to himself that these guys really reacted as he had expected.
Heinz on the side also looked at Xu Yi in surprise. Although he had worked with Xu Yi for many years and knew that this fellow would often have strange ideas and say things that people found unbelievable, he was still very surprised by what he said just now.
He knew very well that Xu Yi was not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he was very calm at all times. He could clearly judge the situation from all sides and then weigh the pros and cons.
Therefore, if it wasn't necessary, he shouldn't have said something that would cause many people to be dissatisfied.
But … what was the need for him to say these words?
Perhaps feeling Heinz's gaze, Xu Yi turned around and gave him a slight smile. Then, he reached out and patted the back of Heinz's hand, indicating that he could rest assured.
Heinz instantly felt his mood calm down.
Xu Yi had this kind of charm. He could always give people enough confidence to make others believe that his choice and approach were correct.
And for so many years, although his choice and approach might have puzzled everyone at first, in the end, he had never disappointed anyone.
So, Heinz sat back down and calmly looked at the chaotic reporters below the stage. He quietly waited for Xu Yi's next move.
After a moment, the reporters seemed to have reacted. Dozens of reporters stood up at the same time, and even more reporters raised their hands at the same time.
"Chairman Xu, what you said …"
"Chairman Xu, I think you …"
"Chairman Xu …"
…
A lot of questions blurted out, but Xu Yi just waited quietly for a while. Then, he smiled and raised his hand to quiet the crowd again.
"I know that you must have a lot of doubts about my words, and that is understandable.
But I don't plan to answer the questions one by one, so please sit down and wait for me to continue. "
The reporters who had already stood up looked at each other and sat down one by one.
The reporters who had raised their hands also put their hands back down one by one.
Everyone's eyes once again focused on Xu Yi, waiting for his answer with rapt attention.
"You reporters may only feel puzzled, but I believe that after hearing what I said, the other magicians on the continent are not puzzled, but dissatisfied."
The reporters below the stage couldn't help but roll their eyes at Xu Yi.
Nonsense, you're openly looking down on other magicians, are you not allowing them to be dissatisfied?
"But no matter how dissatisfied my fellow magicians on the continent are, I still insist on my point of view. The majority of magicians don't understand magic at all, and that is the truth."
Xu Yi's unyielding tone gave the reporters a jolt.
Of course, they knew that Xu Yi wasn't crazy. There must be a reason for him to say this.
"When it comes to understanding magic, on the battlefield before, I had a discussion with the Arch Magi of the two empires and we came to a conclusion. The magic theories that have been passed down for thousands of years on the Sines Continent are already outdated and can't be used in this new era.
From now on, we need to establish a brand new theoretical system of magic, and use a different method to understand and research magic. "
Hearing that Xu Yi had actually discussed this problem with the archmages of the two empires on the battlefield, the reporters below the stage were first stunned, then came to a realization.
No wonder Xu Yi dared to say such mocking words in front of everyone. It turned out that he'd already discussed his point of view with the archmages of the two empires, and it looked like he'd obtained the approval of those archmages.
If this was the case, then Xu Yi's point of view had already obtained the approval of almost half of the archmages on the continent.
At the same time, apart from Xu Yi, New Flyer also had two archmages in Mentor Carmilla and Saladur Kray The Sorcerer. Xu Yi's point of view would obviously obtain their approval.
In this way, Xu Yi had obtained the approval of more than half of the archmages.
The archmages naturally had an unparalleled guiding significance to the other magicians on the continent.
If the archmages had approved of this point of view, no matter how unconvinced the other magicians were, they didn't have the courage or capital to resist. At most, they could only curse in their hearts while seriously studying the point of view that the archmages had thrown out.
"The so-called change of method isn't as simple as changing some magical materials, magical containers, or magical attributes. It's as simple as …" Xu Yi pointed at his own head.
"Changing the way one views magic.
What is magic?
It sounds mystical and mysterious when studied, but at the end of the day, magic is just a tool. It's no different from the shovels and scissors in the hands of ordinary people. "
The expressions of the people below the stage became strange once again.
Comparing magic to a shovel and scissors?
Wasn't this lowering the level of magic too much …
"Only by understanding how magic is formed can one use it correctly. This is the mentality that we, as magicians, must maintain when studying magic.
As for the specifics, it shouldn't be described with vague words like 'feeling', 'perception', 'general', and so on. It should be more specific, like how many magical elements there are in a certain magic, how dense it is, and how much tension there is between the magical elements … Only by understanding these questions can one be considered to truly understand magic. "
"As for the new method of magic research, I proposed a brand new name when I discussed it with the archmages of the two empires. It's called the scientific view of magic, which is to use a scientific approach to studying magic, and not an emotional one.
What is science?
I won't explain too much here. If you want to know, you only need to look at the magic machines that New Flyer produces to know a thing or two. "
"And to study magic with a scientific attitude, we have to study every magic spell to the same degree as the magic machines produced by our Chamber of Commerce. We have to be precise, precise, and meticulous, without any errors or vague definitions. Only then can we be considered to have truly studied magic thoroughly."
"But this is still far from enough.
Right now, apart from our New Flyer, there is no such thing as a true theoretical system of magic in the Sines. Therefore, I hope that all the magicians on the continent can learn how to study magic scientifically in the coming days, and learn how to use magic scientifically. "
"Take note, when I say study magic, I don't mean for everyone to study how to increase the destructive power of magic, because that's meaningless.
What I hope for everyone to study is how to use magic to make people's lives more convenient.
According to the internal division of New Flyer, we should pay more attention to the use of magic in the civilian world. "
"To be honest, I've always felt that many of the magicians on this continent are very stupid, or rather, very selfish.
The vast majority of the people on this continent are still in a situation where they can't even fill their stomachs, yet these magicians, who possess power that far surpasses that of ordinary people, only know how to desperately study magic all day long, and bully and even slaughter ordinary people.
Don't you feel ashamed of this? "
"I hate this, so I'd rather spend a lot of effort to chase all the magicians away from the battlefield, forcing everyone to study things that can improve the lives of ordinary people, and forcing everyone to enter the magic machine industry."
"As for what New Flyer, or rather, what I hope the magic machine industry should look like, and what it should do, that is the third topic I want to talk about today.
This topic is, what is our goal? "
