Recently, New Flyer had been developing more and more products, so naturally there was more and more demand for Magic Arrays.
Even if the number of researchers in the Academy of Magic had increased, Evita's classmates had the same level of magic as Evita and Akali, so they couldn't satisfy the needs of New Flyer's research.
So compared to before, the Carmilla Magic Tower had taken on more research.
Correspondingly, Great Magician Camilla's research funds from New Flyer had greatly increased.
In this half a year, Xu Yi had already given Carmilla Magic Tower over three thousand gold coins in research funds.
Just based on this, it had already surpassed the Magic Tower's income for an entire year.
Great Magician Camilla who had enough money finally realized the benefits of having money. He also found a very important problem, which was that when he worked with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to develop magic machines, he spent most of his time studying Magic Arrays, which was still in the category of magic research. Not only did this not delay his most important magic research, because of Xu Yi's special requirements for Magic Arrays, Great Magician Camilla gained many new understandings of magic when he was studying Magic Arrays. It made Great Magician Camilla's level of magic increase that couldn't be ignored.
With money and increasing his magic level, Great Magician Camilla no longer resisted participating in New Flyer's research, rather he became more and more enthusiastic. Every time he saw Xu Yi, he would take the initiative to ask him.
"Hey, brat, what new research do you have this time?"
As long as one was in contact with Xu Yi for a long time, they would unknowingly learn a few new terms from Xu Yi. Great Magician Camilla was not an exception.
Xu Yi shook his head, "Not yet.
But your excellency Great Magician, I want to ask, has there been any progress on the miniaturization of Magic Arrays I asked you to research last time?
Our company needs this technology very much right now.
If we can research it, we can use it on many magic machines. "
Great Magician Camilla knit his brows, "There is progress, but ….. I'm afraid it won't reach the result you want."
Xu Yi was shocked, "There's progress?
It's good that there's progress.
Come, your excellency Great Magician, tell me what kind of progress you've made. "
"Actually there isn't much progress. I've just tried to miniaturize a few Magic Arrays and there are a few that have succeeded.
The smallest one is less than ten centimeters in diameter and the largest is less than twenty centimeters.
But it's less than a centimeter ….. "Great Magician Camilla knit his brows.
"Xu Yi, this is is.
You're a magician yourself, so you might have a better understanding of magic arrays than I do. You should know very well that setting up a magic array has very high requirements.
Even if there is a deviation in the array, it can affect the final Magic Array has a Magic Array.
Not to mention, the smaller the magic array, the more intense the Mana fluctuations between the array lines will be when it is activated. Maintaining a magic array is already very difficult, not to mention, you want a magic array to have the same effect as a large-scale magic array. This is simply impossible. "
Xu Yi said with a laugh, "If there wasn't any difficulty, how could your excellency Great Magician personally make a move?
If it wasn't a powerful magician like you, I wouldn't dare let anyone else study it. "
Great Magician Camilla snappily looked at Xu Yi, "There's no use flattering me. This research is too difficult and I don't know how long it would take for me to finish it alone.
Didn't you have a cooperation agreement with Great Magician Eisenkel last time? If you need it urgently, why don't you have him join in the research?
Not only is he a Great Magician with the same level of magic as me, he also has more connections than me and knows many powerful magicians.
With him joining, I feel that the research will progress much faster. "
"Great Magician Eisenkel ….." Xu Yi hesitated a bit, but he didn't say the worries in his heart. Instead, he asked, "Speaking of him, I suddenly thought of something.
When he came last time, didn't he say that the Sorcerers Guild was discussing the problem of magic patents?
Now that it's been this long, there should be a result, right? "
Great Magician Camilla gave a cold snort, "It's a pity that the efficiency of those old men in the guild is much lower than you can imagine.
They've already discussed it for several months and there still hasn't been a result, it really makes people unable to keep watching.
But the good news is that in the latest issue of the guild, they have already begun discussing the details of the magic patents.
Based on this trend, the guild should have decided to pass this decision in the end.
As for when it will be passed, I don't know. "
"It's good that it's passed.
Like this, I can be more assured in my research and won't have to worry about other people taking away the hard earned research results. "Xu Yi said with a satisfied nod.
Great Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi and suddenly asked, "Brat, when you say 'other people', does that include Great Magician Eisenkel?"
Xu Yi laughed and didn't deny it.
Great Magician Camilla gave a sigh and said with a look of regret, "Ai, actually I've always agreed with the guild's point of view. Magic research should be shared with everyone.
If every magician could do this, the magic level of our Sines wouldn't have regressed, it would be far worse than it was during the race wars thousands of years ago. "
Xu Yi immediately shook his head, "Your excellency Great Magician, this idea is just wishful thinking on your part, it doesn't have any practical value.
The Sorcerers Guild can use this as a slogan because that is what the organization needs, but it is impossible for every magician to be this selfless. "
Great Magician Camilla slowly nodded in a somewhat unwilling manner, "Actually I also understand this, but I wasn't willing to admit it before.
Now that I've seen the development of your New Flyer, I've suddenly found that what you said before was right. People are selfish and if there are no benefits to themselves, they won't have the motivation to work hard.
Look, your New Flyer's magic machines can bring benefits to many people, so not only Banta City, even the people of the surrounding cities are working hard to participate in this.
I think that not long after, the entire Lampari Kingdom will participate.
When that time comes, there will be even more magicians studying magic machines. I believe that the Magic Array miniaturization technology you need will be easily researched. "
Xu Yi shook his head, "According to normal reasoning, this is correct.
But first, I'm not willing to wait that long.
Second, if it isn't developed by our New Flyer, it has a completely different meaning to me.
So your excellency Great Magician, I ask you to work hard. "
Great Magician Camilla said with a bitter smile, "I'm not a Great Magus and even a Great Magus wouldn't be able to solve the miniaturization problem that easily."
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before taking out a blueprint from his chest.
"If you can't solve all the problems, then I ask you to solve the miniaturization of this Magic Array first."
Great Magician Camilla looked over the blueprint and his brows jumped up as he said in a surprised voice, "This is an Eighth Grade Wind Spell, the Hurricane Spell.
You actually want to use such a powerful spell on a magic machine?
What kind of terrifying magic machine are you preparing to make? "
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, "It isn't as terrifying as you think.
But this new magic machine requires a lot of power, so even with the Hurricane Spell, I don't think it's enough.
But we've just started studying it, so we can't use such a powerful spell right away, right?
Your excellency Great Magician, can you limit the Magic Array to a diameter of no more than five centimeters? "
"Five centimeters?" Great Magician Camilla looked at the blueprint and thought for a bit before nodding.
"It should be fine if it was five centimeters.
But the Hurricane Spell is a large scale spell, so if it's limited to such a small Magic Array, its power will decrease.
No matter how much I study it, I can't guarantee its original power. "
"It's enough to use as long as it can maintain half its power." Xu Yi nodded.
"Not to mention that I'm prepared to use the gradient magic input technique to limit the power of this Magic Array."
"Alright, since it's like this, there's no problem." Great Magician Camilla thought for a bit, "Give me a month.
"Give me a month's time. Since I have the experience from my previous research, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for me to focus on this spell."
"Only a month?"
Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised and he couldn't help saying with a smile, "Your excellency Great Magician really is powerful, far surpassing my imagination.
My respect for you is as endless as the waters of the Sandy River, and also as … "
"Alright, stop flattering me." Great Magician Camilla snappily cut off Xu Yi.
"If you have that much free time, you might as well spend it with Stiel.
That girl complained to me last night that you were too busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with her. "
Xu Yi was stunned, "Stiel really said this?"
Great Magician Camilla glared at him, "Could it be that I'm lying to you?
I'm warning you, kid.
Our Stiel finally fell in love with you, that is your good luck.
If you don't cherish it and let her be cheated by other fellows, I won't forgive you. "
Xu Yi scratched his head, "Your excellency Great Magician, why does it sound like ….. you're praising Stiel?
Or are you affirming me? "
Great Magician Camilla angrily glared at Xu Yi, "Why do you care so much?
I'm telling you to spend more time with Stiel, just listen to me! "
With a pa sound, Xu Yi straightened his legs and gave Great Magician Camilla a military salute from earth, "Reporting to your excellency Great Magician, I promise to complete this task!"
Great Magician Camilla wanted to glare at Xu Yi again, but he couldn't help laughing at Xu Yi's strange actions. In the end, he waved his hand and signaled for Xu Yi to scram.
So Xu Yi giggled and left Great Magician Camilla's private laboratory, heading to the bottom of the Magic Tower to find Stiel.
