The famous that Great Magician Camilla mentioned was of course being famous in the magician circle.
The thing on the table that looked like a magazine was the internal journal of the Sorcerers Guild, only Great Magicians and Arch Magi would receive it regularly.
So when Great Magician Camilla said that Xu Yi was famous, it meant that many Great Magicians knew about him.
There were only twenty seven Arch Magi and five hundred Great Magicians in the Sines, so strictly speaking, Xu Yi was only known by five hundred people. To be honest, he couldn't be considered famous at all.
"Idiot!" Great Magician Camilla angrily glared at Xu Yi.
"Arch Magi and Great Magicians are the top people in the magician circle, so if all the Great Magicians and Arch Magi know about you, that is equal to all the magicians on the continent knowing about you.
Could it be that this isn't famous enough? "
Xu Yi looked at Great Magician Camilla in surprise, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Great Magician Camilla pointed at his feet.
Great Magician Camilla pointed at the ground, "As long as I'm willing, everyone in this Magic Tower will know about this. If they spread this news, all the magicians in Banta City and even the surrounding cities will know about this news.
Let me tell you, this journal has an authoritative position in the hearts of all the magicians on the continent. Being able to appear in this journal, it's hard for you not to be famous. "
Xu Yi scratched his chin, feeling a bit confused.
"Although it's rare to become a Fifth Grade Magician the first time, since this journal is this high class, I shouldn't be qualified to appear in it, right?"
Great Magician Camilla shook his head, "Of course it's not because you're a Fifth Grade Magician.
Although there aren't many things like you, there are many magicians who participate in the exam each year and there are some fellows who want to shock the world like you, so it isn't that strange.
Moreover, this journal isn't like the « Banta Times » that only reports on gossip, it only reports on things related to magic.
You being able to appear in this journal is actually related to the written test you took during the Fifth Grade exam. "
"Written test answers?" Xu Yi remembered the situation of the written test and was still a bit confused.
"Why don't I feel that there's anything special about the answers?"
"You don't feel that it's special?" Great Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi and asked this with a serious look.
Seeing Great Magician Camilla's serious expression, Xu Yi seriously thought about it before shaking his head, "I don't."
Great Magician Camilla's expression became a bit strange, "Xu Yi, it seems like I've underestimated your talent.
Come, let me show you the Magician's evaluation.. "
Xu Yi took the thick journal that Great Magician Camilla threw to him and turned to the seventh page according to his instructions. He found that the things written on this page were the Magic Array problems that he had encountered during the Fifth Grade exam.
Xu Yi noticed that the author of this article was named Gordon Eisenkel.
This name was a bit familiar to Xu Yi. Thinking about it, he remembered that when he had just started working at Great Magician Camilla's Magic Tower, Salsa had mentioned this name before. She said that he was the richest Great Magician in the Lampari Kingdom.
And in this article, the richest Great Magician was praising the answers Xu Yi left in the written exam.
The magic arrays tested in the written test were only level-5 magic arrays. The questions posed were questions that extended from these magic arrays. Some specific requirements were put forward so that the magic arrays could be improved by the magicians taking the test.
Xu Yi had studied Magic Arrays to begin with and in order to adapt to the requirements of the magic machines, he had spent most of his energy on changing the Magic Arrays to adapt to different requirements, so these questions were naturally a piece of cake for him.
After the exam, the Sorcerers Guild examiner had given Xu Yi an evaluation that his answers had surpassed the standard of a Fifth Grade Magician, so he was allowed to pass the exam and become a Fifth Grade Magician.
In this article, Great Magician Eisenkel had analyzed Xu Yi's answers bit by bit, clearly explaining all the ideas that Xu Yi had in his answers.
"… … This is completely a genius' idea!
By changing the arc of the array lines to change the density of the area where the Magic Array absorbs Magic Elemental Energy, it can make a small change to the effect of the Magic Array. This is simply like making the Magic Array come alive!
If we can spread this idea, we can even change any Magic Array as we wish, allowing the Magic Array to have the effect that we want it to have.
I can say that Xu Yi's research on Magic Arrays has already reached the realm of a master!
Even I can't compare to him! "
Seeing Great Magician Eisenkel's generous praise, Xu Yi's face turned a bit red.
He had naturally thought of these answers, but he never thought that in the eyes of Great Magician Eisenkel, it would have such a shocking effect. It really was unexpected.
After reading the article, Xu Yi slightly knit his brows and asked Great Magician Camilla, "Your excellency Great Magician, are you familiar with this Great Magician Eisenkel?"
Great Magician Camilla shook his head, "No.
We only know each other's names. "
"Then why does he praise me this much?
I don't think I'm worthy of his praise.
Seeing him praise me as a genius in this article, I'm a bit embarrassed. "
"There's no need to be embarrassed.
After I saw the written test questions and your answers, I feel that his praise isn't exaggerated at all. Your creativity and ideas are indeed worthy of this praise. "Great Magician Camilla said in an honest voice.
"I still maintain my previous point of view. If you are willing to wholeheartedly study magic, perhaps you will surpass me in the future. You might even become the first Arch Magus of the Lampari Kingdom."
Xu Yi gave a dry laugh, "Your excellency Great Magician, there's no need to talk about this topic."
Great Magician Camilla gave a snort before saying, "Of course, other than you being qualified to receive this kind of praise, I have to remind you.
That fellow Eisenkel ….. never does anything unnecessary, so ….. you have to be careful. "
Xu Yi slowly nodded.
There was a saying, one who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions.
Even if his answers in the written test were shocking, it was still a written test for a Fifth Grade Magician. In a normal situation, it shouldn't have entered the eyes of a peak character like Great Magician Eisenkel.
But Great Magician Eisenkel had singled out Xu Yi's answers, writing a passionate article in this important internal journal of the Sorcerers Guild, praising him. If one said that he didn't have any other goals, Xu Yi wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
But Xu Yi was very curious. He was only a small Fifth Grade Magician, what did he have that was worthy of this Great Magician's attention?
Unless ….. he cared about his status as the chairman of the New Flyer?
Xu Yi thought for a bit and couldn't get an answer, so he could only put this question aside for now. He began to focus on the main reason he came to see Great Magician Camilla this time.
Hearing that Xu Yi wanted to develop a series of magic machines at once and was only given a single month, Great Magician Camilla couldn't help knitting his brows.
"Kid, you're not planning on giving me any time to study magic?"
Xu Yi gave a helpless sigh, "There's no other way, to complete his majesty's order, I have to develop these magic machines.
Otherwise, even if the dwarves went all out, they would only be able to complete the initial order of three thousand small agricultural magic machines. If they want to complete the tens of thousands of agricultural magic machines that his majesty wants, they might not be able to finish it in several years.
Since you have to study it, of course it's better to do it as soon as possible. "
"But these magic machines seem very complicated, do you really think you can finish developing them in a single month?" Great Magician Camilla doubtfully asked.
"Perhaps time is a bit tight, but I don't think it's a big problem."
Xu Yi paused before saying with a serious look, "Your excellency Great Magician, it isn't just his majesty who wants to realize his plan, I also want to do the same.
If we can promote the agricultural magic machines during the harvest season, we can increase the kingdom's grain yield a season ahead of time.
His majesty is considering the citizens of the kingdom. Although I can't be that noble, I'm not willing to see people starve.
Last time when I talked to Heinz about the turmoil in the kingdom, talking about how many people starved to death, a man like Heinz couldn't help shedding tears.
I decided at that time to focus on developing magic machines that could increase the efficiency of agriculture. "
Great Magician Camilla was silent for a bit before giving a slight nod, "Your idea isn't bad.
When you were invited to Satsuma Count's banquet a few days ago, Satsuma Count praised you and New Flyer. He said that with the help of the agricultural magic machines developed by New Flyer, large amounts of farmland near Banta City have been opened up. If nothing unexpected happens, Banta City's grain yield will greatly increase next year and everyone will be able to fill their stomachs.
Xu Yi, do you know that because of this, Satsuma Count has given you and New Flyer a lot of support?
Otherwise, New Flyer wouldn't have been able to develop this smoothly in Banta City. "
Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile, "The City Lord's people have taken care of me and my company, I'm very clear on this."
Then he gave a laugh, "But your excellency Great Magician, since the Lord City Lord supports me this much, shouldn't you also support me?"
Great Magician Camilla snappily looked at Xu Yi, "Don't think of using Satsuma Count to pressure me, it's no use.
But since you want to speed up the production of the agricultural magic machines, I'll agree to this.
This time not only me, I will also ask the entire Magic Tower to fully support you in researching the Magic Arrays for the magic forging machines! "
Xu Yi was instantly filled with joy.
With Great Magician Camilla's guarantee, he had over 80% confidence in researching the magic forging machines this time.
