Everyone looked at Xu Yi in confusion.
He had been speaking for a long time, denying what Arch Magus Gascione had said. Why did he suddenly say that the most important topic was meaningful? Wasn't this contradicting himself?
Arch Magus Gascione slightly knit his brows, "Chairman Xu, what do you think is the meaning?"
"The meaning ….. Of course it's to let the magicians of the continent determine who is better and give them a goal to strive for.
Actually, it's not that different from the previous Mage Ranking System that the Sorcerers Guild implemented. "
Hearing this answer, Great Magus Gascione's expression changed.
Everyone else revealed an expression of 'as expected'.
If Xu Yi thought the same as Great Magus Gascione and the Sorcerers Guild, that would be an inconceivable matter.
His current reaction was normal.
"Then Chairman Xu, what is the Mage Ranking System that you mentioned?" Great Magus Gascione asked.
Xu Yi looked at him and shook his head with a faint smile, "Isn't this the most important topic of the meeting? Let's leave it for later."
Arch Magus Gascione's expression sunk, but he quickly recovered his smile and nodded, "That's right, the meeting hasn't officially started yet, so there's no need to rush."
After saying this, Arch Magus Gascione changed the topic and the group of people chatted as they entered the manor.
At this time, there were many famous magicians from all over the Sines gathered in the manor. Among them were over ten peak Arch Magi and over four hundred Great Magicians. This could be considered the largest gathering of magicians in the Sines in the past few years.
The reason for this grand occasion was actually closely related to Xu Yi.
Before Xu Yi decided to participate in this meeting, the meeting was organized by the Sorcerers Guild and organized by the Mana Magic Kingdom, so four Arch Magi and close to a hundred Great Magicians were invited. However, when the news of Xu Yi agreeing to participate spread, this number increased by several times.
From this, it could be seen that Xu Yi's position in the hearts of the magicians in the Sines was very high.
So even if there were over ten Arch Magi present, Xu Yi still attracted everyone's attention when he walked in.
In an instant, countless people surrounded him and greeted Xu Yi.
At this time, there was another difference between Xu Yi and other magicians.
When magicians greeted each other, they would call each other by their surname and magician rank. But for Xu Yi, the peak Arch Magician, they all called him "chairman Xu".
On one hand, this was because Xu Yi's status as the chairman of the New Flyer far exceeded his reputation as an Arch Magus. On the other hand, Xu Yi always emphasized that he was a businessman and the chairman of the New Flyer in public. This made it clear to everyone that he was biased, so they naturally wouldn't call him wrongly.
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Xu Yi only nodded casually to the Great Magicians as a response. He would only formally return the greetings to the thirteen Arch Magi and exchange a few words of greeting as a response.
None of the Magic Casters felt that his attitude was inappropriate.
Even if Xu Yi's status as the chairman of the New Flyer wasn't mentioned, just his status as an Arch Magus was enough to give him the right to be arrogant.
After everyone took their seats, the only ones who had the right to sit and talk to Xu Yi were the Arch Magi. Even the Great Magicians could only stay far away, not daring to disturb him.
However, Xu Yi wasn't very satisfied with this situation.
Xu Yi and the New Flyer had been working on breaking down the authority of the Continental Sorcerers Guild and breaking down the system of magicians that had been established in the past, making it easier for magicians to reconsider where they could be used.
However, after more than ten years of evolution, although the New Flyer's strength and guidance had caused most magicians to throw themselves into the magic machine industry, there were still many magicians who couldn't change their mindset.
For example, even though the normal magicians of the Sines didn't care much about their own magician rank, and were more concerned about their ability to research and practice magic machine technology, almost all magicians still cared a lot about the rank of Great Magician or even Arch Magus.
Great Magicians still enjoyed special treatment in the various countries of the continent. If they were willing to apply for a job in a merchant guild, they would naturally receive remuneration that far exceeded that of a normal magician.
As for Arch Magi, their status wasn't affected at all. In fact, due to the loss of several magicians in the battle between the two empires and the New Flyer ten years ago, the number of magicians on the continent had decreased, and the status of the remaining Arch Magi had increased.
However, these Arch Magi weren't like normal magicians who were willing to throw themselves into the magic machine industry.
Take the thirteen Arch Magi present as an example. Five of them had openly expressed that they wouldn't throw themselves into the research of the magic machine industry, and that Xu Yi's new scientific concept of magic was completely unorthodox. They had always been against it.
Even among the remaining eight Arch Magi, only four Arch Magi had openly expressed their support for Xu Yi's new concept. However, none of them were willing to throw themselves into the research of the magic machine industry.
Including Xu Yi, of the remaining twenty-two Arch Magi in the Sines, only Xu Yi, Mentor Carmilla, and three other Arch Magi from the two empires had truly thrown themselves into the research of the magic machine industry. There were only five of them in total.
Of course, Xu Yi was very dissatisfied with this situation, but he also understood that the views of the Sines for thousands of years couldn't be changed so easily.
This was especially true for the Arch Magi who stood at the peak of all magicians. Due to their superior strength, they wouldn't easily change their views.
It was a good thing that Xu Yi didn't really care about them.
Although it required the participation of those who stood at the very peak to carry out a detailed and systematic research of a subject, the ones who truly laid the foundation and carried it forward were the tens of thousands of researchers at the bottom.
It was these people who worked hard bit by bit to gradually perfect the system and make it better and better.
Therefore, Xu Yi was never willing to waste time and energy on these top magicians. Instead, he was willing to invest more in the cultivation of new magicians who hadn't come into contact with too much magic theory.
Because these people hadn't been bound by the old magic system, they easily accepted Xu Yi's new system of magic theory.
When they grew up, it would be the time when the new system would truly flourish.
At the same time, it was easier for the tens of thousands of ordinary magicians on the continent to change their views.
For example, New Flyer and almost all the countries on the continent had signed the 'Continental Peace Treaty', restricting magicians from joining the army. Although there had been some chaos at first after participating in the war, tens of thousands of ordinary magicians on the continent had all thrown themselves into the magic machine industry in less than two years. They had now become the backbone of the various regions.
The rapid development of the magic machine industry in the Sines in the past ten years couldn't have been done without the great contributions of these people.
In comparison, it was the archmages who stood at the peak of all mages and were worshipped by almost everyone who contributed much less.
However, no matter how much he didn't care, Xu Yi couldn't completely ignore them.
After all, these Arch Magi were at the peak of all magicians. Their own understanding of magic far exceeded that of ordinary magicians. If they were willing to throw themselves into the research of the magic machine industry, it would naturally be easier for them to contribute more than ordinary magicians.
Moreover, these Arch Magi were all important figures in their respective countries and had always enjoyed great fame.
As long as they were willing to do research related to the magic machine industry, it would represent the direction of the wind and attract even more magicians to throw themselves into it.
Therefore, Xu Yi would still work hard to build a good relationship with these people and do everything he could to bring them into the magic machine industry.
"Chairman Xu, since you've come to participate in this meeting, I'm sure you'll have some amazing viewpoints to raise, right?"
Sitting next to Xu Yi was Arch Magus Hilbert of the Mana Magic Kingdom. After exchanging a few words, he asked Xu Yi a question.
This question immediately attracted the attention of the ten or so other Arch Magi around them.
The number of times Xu Yi had participated in the continent's magician gatherings was actually very few. However, every time he did, he would always raise some viewpoints that were very different from the previous magic research system. Often, the other magicians would be surprised and even question him.
However, after so many years of accumulation, the viewpoints that Xu Yi raised were always able to receive strong confirmation and finally gained the approval of all the magicians.
After so many times, the other magicians rarely questioned Xu Yi. Instead, they looked forward to the new viewpoints that he would raise every time.
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, "I'm not participating in this meeting to present any new theories. I'm purely here to discuss the current situation of the continent's magicians with everyone."
Everyone revealed a puzzled expression.
Discuss the current situation of the continent's magicians?
What exactly were they discussing?
Arch Magus Gascoigne, on the other hand, frowned deeply.
Xu Yi's words and his previous actions made him feel that something was very unusual.
Xu Yi's visit this time was probably not as simple as he said.
