"Is that so?" Great Magician Telucci's expression dimmed.
Seeing Great Magician Telucci's appearance, the other four Great Magicians looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes.
With Great Magician Telucci's status, what kind of problem would cause him to say it in this kind of situation?
Great Magician Camilla slightly knit his brows and said, "Telucci, if you really need money, I think I can help you.
If you really can't, I'll discuss it with Xu Yi and have him lend it to you. "
"No, this can only solve it for now, it can't solve the problem completely.
Then again, it would be very hard for me to pay back this money. "
Great Magician Telucci shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I'm not as quick-witted as you guys, I'm not good at making money.
Perhaps you're right, even if I open a magic machine factory, it will only go bankrupt in the end. "
Great Magician Torres, Great Magician Eisenkel, and President Eren looked at each other in silence.
Although there were only five Great Magicians in the Lampari Kingdom, that didn't mean that the five Great Magicians had a good relationship with each other.
On the contrary, other than Great Magician Camilla being low key and having a normal relationship with the other four Great Magicians, the other Great Magicians didn't have a good relationship with each other.
Although Great Magician Telucci had met a large problem, they weren't willing to rashly reach out.
Great Magician Camilla knit his brows in thought before saying to Great Magician Telucci, "If you need a stable income for a long time, I actually have a very good suggestion. Telucci, do you want to hear it?"
"Oh?
What suggestion? "Great Magician Telucci asked in a spirited voice.
Great Magician Camilla pointed at himself, "Do you know what my salary is at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce?"
Great Magician Telucci was stunned, "You want me to work in New Flyer?
How is that possible, Xu Yi isn't my granddaughter in law. "
"It's not too late to make a conclusion after hearing what I have to say." Great Magician Camilla raised a finger.
"Let me tell you, my salary in New Flyer is ten thousand gold coins a year."
"10,000 gold coins?"
Not only Great Magician Telucci, even the richest Great Magician Eisenkel had his eyes wide open in shock.
"So many?"
Great Magician Camilla smiled, "What do you think now?"
Great Magician Telucci was silent for a bit before making a decision. He gave a slight nod, "Camilla, can you arrange a meeting between me and Xu Yi?"

It was a rare warm early winter sun, so Lampuri Thirteenth came to the back garden of the royal palace when the sun was in the sky. He laid down in a comfortable chair with a blanket on his lap, basking in the sun while looking at the documents in his hand.
Most of the time, Lampuri Thirteenth's expression was calm.
As someone who had ascended the throne during a time of turmoil and was praised as a wise king by most people of the Lampari Kingdom, Lampuri Thirteenth had been through countless storms on the throne, so normal things couldn't affect his mood at all.
But when he saw the documents from Lorren City, he slightly knit his brows and gave a sigh.
"Your majesty, are you feeling unwell?" The personal guard on the side quickly asked in a concerned voice.
Lampuri Thirteenth turned to look at the personal guard who had grown up with him and had served him for over forty years. He shook his head and after thinking for a bit, he asked, "Dema, what do you think of that child Eric?"
Dema was surprised before lowering his head and replying in a soft voice, "I don't dare talk about this."
"It's fine, this is just a chat between us old friends, you don't need to be so restrained.
I just want to hear what an old friend like you who watched him grow up thinks about him. "
Dema looked up and saw the serious expression on Lampuri Thirteenth's face. After thinking about it, he said in a thoughtful voice, "I feel that ….. Eric is quite ambitious ….."
"Ambition?" Lampuri Thirteenth gave a cold snort.
Lampuri Thirteenth gave a cold snort, "Although ambition is good, if he doesn't have a brain, he might as well not have any ambition!
His so-called ambition might ruin the good situation of our kingdom right now! "
Dema was shocked, "It can't be that serious, right?"
"How can it not be that serious?"
Lampuri Thirteenth suddenly flew into a rage. He shook the document in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Look at what this fellow is doing?
He's actually organizing the northern army and wants to attack the Sack Kingdom!
Does he want to give away the entire northern army? "
"It can't be … …" Dema revealed a confused look.
"Didn't the northern army fight a beautiful battle at the beginning of the year?
They even took back the Muerto Mountains.
There shouldn't be a problem attacking the Sack Kingdom, right? "
"How could there be no problem?
Do you know how much money the kingdom spent on the northern army at the beginning of the year?
An entire five hundred thousand gold coins!
That was close to a third of the kingdom's revenue last year!
Now that we've taken back the Muerto Mountains with great difficulty, we can stabilize the situation and let the kingdom have a period of peaceful development.
But this fellow actually wants to start a war!
Does he know that the kingdom's finances can't support a war!
If we really start a war with the Sack Kingdom, it will completely ruin our current situation!
He … … "
Lampuri Thirteenth suddenly stopped.
Dema who had been listening to Lampuri Thirteenth vent his anger looked up in surprise. He was shocked to find that Lampuri Thirteenth's face was completely red and even turning purple. He had a pained expression, like he couldn't speak at all.
Dema was shocked, "Your majesty, what's wrong?"
When he was about to come forward, Lampuri Thirteenth's mouth suddenly moved and there was blood that came out of the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the drops of dark red blood dripping from the corner of Lampuri Thirteenth's mouth, Dematon was stunned in fear.
After being stunned for a while, his body trembled and he turned to run out.
At this time, he should have gone to find the imperial doctor as soon as possible.
But before he could take two steps, Lampuri Thirteenth called out to him.
"Dema, clean this place up, don't let anyone know." Lampuri Thirteenth said in a deep voice.
"But your majesty, no matter what, you should let a doctor take a look at your body … …" Dema immediately objected.
"This is an order, don't ask too much." Lampuri Thirteenth said with a serious look.
"This ….. Alright."
Dema reluctantly agreed. He looked around and confirmed that this back garden was the king's favorite resting place. It was once strictly forbidden for anyone to get close to this place. Only then did he feel relieved. He turned around and walked to the lounge at the side, preparing to clean up this place.
Watching Dema leave, Lampuri Thirteenth wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at his hand for a while before his lips curled into a bitter smile.
"Why can't you just give me a few more years?"

"Hey, sir chairman, I passed the Fifth Grade Magician exam, isn't that amazing?" Akali had a proud smile as she waved her little hand at Xu Yi from afar.
The other magicians who had also taken the exam looked at her. Some magicians gave unconvinced snorts and some revealed sad looks as they lowered their heads to leave.
Only Evita beside Akali tapped Akali's raised arm and snappily said, "Alright, put your arm down. Why are you so loud, are you afraid that others won't hear?"
Akali raised her head high, "Humph, I want others to know.
I'm already a Fifth Grade Magician, can't I be proud? "
Evita shook her head and pointed at Xu Yi who was coming over with a smile, "The chairman is taking the Ninth Grade Magician exam, what is there to be proud of in front of him?"
Hearing this, Xu Yi immediately waved his hand, "That isn't certain, I'll talk about it after I pass the Eighth Grade Magician exam."
"That's right, sir chairman is several years older than me. The difference between an Eighth Grade Magician and a Fifth Grade Magician isn't that far." Akali immediately said.
"Forget it, isn't the difference between an Eighth Grade Magician and a Fifth Grade Magician?
Do you have confidence in becoming an Eighth Grade Magician at the chairman's age? "Evita asked.
"Why wouldn't I have confidence?
Look, I've been in our company for two years and I've gone from a Fourth Grade Magician to a Fifth Grade Magician.
In a few years … … That's right, sir chairman, you're already thirty years old this year, right? "Akali suddenly turned her head and asked Xu Yi.
"Ah … … I'm thirty, what about it?" Xu Yi said.
"I'm only twenty four this year, I'm still six years away from thirty.
Why can't I become an Eighth Grade Magician in six years? "Akali immediately said.
"Alright, you'll become an Eighth Grade Magician, but not now, so you should restrain yourself a bit." Evita was too lazy to argue with Akali about this.
Turning her head to Xu Yi, she asked, "Chairman, the low level magician exams have all been completed. For the high level magician exams, you'll have to lead the team."
"Yes, there aren't many researchers who have the qualifications to take the high level magician exam, so it doesn't matter if I lead the team or not." Xu Yi nodded.
"Speaking of this, Evita, Akali has already passed the Fifth Grade Magician exam, you shouldn't have a problem either, right?"
"Hey, sir chairman, what do you mean by that?
Could it be that I'm not as good as Evita? "Akali asked in an unconvinced voice.
"What do you think?" Xu Yi smiled as he replied with a question.
"I … …" Akali opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything else.
Whether it was her magic talent or hard work, she couldn't compare to Evita, so her magic power had always been weaker than Evita. This was a fact that she couldn't deny after all these years.
Evita smiled and said, "That's right, I also passed the Fifth Grade Magician exam.
But I'm still a bit away from becoming a Sixth Grade Magician, so I won't be able to take the high level magician exam with you this year. "
"That's fine, keep working hard and try to enter the same exam next year." Xu Yi smiled as he encouraged her. He looked up at the sky and waved his hand at the two of them.
"Let's go, it's about time. Our New Flyer's first magic machine product exchange in Anvilmar City can't be missing the two of you."
