Xu Yi was a bit stunned. He thought that since his excellency Great Magician had enough gold coins from him, his mood was much better compared to before. Now he was actually in the mood to joke with him.
"Un ….. Let's hear the bad news first. I like to leave the good things for last."
"This is not a good habit.
If you leave the good things for too long, they can be stolen by others. "Great Magician Camilla shook his head and said something that Xu Yi didn't understand.
"But since you want to hear the bad news first, I'll satisfy your wish.
Listen well, the bad news is that the Sorcerers Guild has rejected your proposal to patent the Magic Array. "
Xu Yi gave a sigh, but there wasn't much disappointment on his face.
"Is there a reason?"
"There is a reason.
This is because the Sorcerers Guild was created by the cooperation of magicians. Since the beginning, the Sorcerers Guild has always advocated cooperation between magicians, researching magic together, improving together, and making magic stronger.
So your proposal has already gone against the basic principles of the Sorcerers Guild, so of course it won't pass. "Great Magician Camilla explained.
"Researching together and improving together?" Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"There are people who believe this kind of joke?
Of the magicians in the Sines, which one of them isn't secretly researching magic? If they make a breakthrough with great difficulty, they will definitely hide it, afraid that other magicians will find out.
You're telling me that magicians want to cooperate ….. Hei ….. "
Great Magician Camilla knit his brows and forcefully slapped the table, "Xu Yi, pay attention to your attitude.
No matter what you think in your heart, the Sorcerers Guild's principles are indeed like this.
This proposal was made by a Great Magician like me, so it was rejected and it didn't have any effect. If it was you who made this proposal, it was very likely that you would be stripped of your right to participate in the certification exam.
Do you understand the seriousness of this matter? "
Xu Yi was surprised, "Your Excellency Great Magician, I only asked you to submit the proposal for me, I didn't ask you to bear this name."
"This isn't much, just treat it as me working for the thousand gold coins." Great Magician Camilla shook his head and casually said.
"Alright, now that you've heard the bad news, I'll tell you the good news.
Although your proposal didn't pass, I recommended you to the Magician's Union. Next month, you can participate in the qualification certification exam with the special recommendation of a Great Magician. If you perform well in the exam, you can get a higher evaluation than the average magician who participates in the exam. "
Xu Yi smiled bitterly. "Compared to the bad news, this is a far cry.
Your Excellency Great Magician, you should know that I don't have much interest in becoming a Senior Magician. Getting a higher evaluation doesn't mean anything to me. "
Great Magician Camilla glared at him and said with a cold snort, "Brat, I'm warning you, don't be too arrogant.
I know that you've earned quite a bit of money from researching magic machines, so you don't have much interest in becoming a powerful magician.
But I have to tell you, on the Sines, becoming a powerful magician is very important.
If you can become a Great Magician like me or an Arch Magus that is even stronger than me, you will find that many things will be much easier for you!
Take your proposal for example. I am a Great Magician, so it's fine even if it doesn't pass.
But if it was you who proposed it, it was very likely that the Sorcerers Guild would strip you of your qualifications to participate in the exam.
But if the one who proposed it was an Arch Magus, even if this proposal went against the principles of the Sorcerers Guild, it wouldn't have been rejected like this and would have been properly studied.
If it was a Great Magus who proposed it ….. Brat, do you know what consequences this would have? "
Xu Yi revealed a confused look, "What consequences?"
Great Magician Camilla gave another cold snort, "Brat, you don't know what a Great Magus means at all.
There have been less than ten Great Magi on the Sines in the past several thousand years. Any one of them is a super character that can shake the entire continent with a single step.
If this proposal was proposed by a Great Magus, it wouldn't just be a question of whether it would pass or not. There would be countless people studying the hidden meaning behind the Great Magus' proposal and no one would be able to predict what the consequences would be in the end. "
Xu Yi was stunned hearing this. He thought that this Great Magus was a bit too strong.
According to this, his influence was even stronger than the leaders of the countries on earth.
Seeing Xu Yi's expression, Great Magus Camilla gave a cold laugh, "How about it?
Brat?
Now you know that becoming a powerful magician is very necessary, right?
I won't talk about something as far away as a Great Magus. If you can become an Arch Magus that is stronger than me, then at least in the Lampari Kingdom, your words will have more power than the king's.
Although your proposal might not pass the Sorcerers Guild, I dare guarantee that the royal family will fully support you.
How about it?
Are you moved?
Do you have the desire to become a powerful magician? "
Xu Yi was stunned for a bit before suddenly raising his hand. A small dark red fireball flew out of his palm at Great Magician Camilla.
Great Magician Camilla's heart skipped a beat. He raised a brow and a transparent light blue barrier appeared in front of him.
When the fireball hit the barrier, it caused the barrier to tremble. It created ripples like water and then with a "pu" sound, it disappeared without a trace.
Great Magician Camilla put away the barrier and looked at Xu Yi with a look of surprise.
"Flame Burst Spell!
Brat, when did you learn the Flame Burst Spell? "
Xu Yi laughed, "How about it?
Your excellency Great Magician, how is the power of this Flame Burst Spell? "
Great Magician Camilla narrowed his eyes to look at Xu Yi for a while before slowly nodding.
"It's very good.
The Flame Burst Spell is a Fourth Grade Fire Spell that is considered very hard to grasp. I never thought that you would be able to cast it this quickly and even change its size, it seems like you've already grasped it quite well. "
After saying this, Great Magician Camilla gave a deep sigh. He shook his head and said, "Xu Yi, since you have such outstanding magic talent, why aren't you focused on studying magic?
I'm more and more certain that as long as you are focused, you will become an Arch Magus that is much stronger than me.
When that time comes, wouldn't it be much easier for you to do what you want?
Even if you like studying magic machines, it wouldn't be too late to study them after you become an Arch Magus. "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "I've already said it, everyone has their own ambitions.
Perhaps your excellency Great Magician and all the other magicians of the Sines think that becoming a powerful magician is the ultimate goal, but I insist that using magic to improve people's lives is more important.
Perhaps you're right, if I become an Arch Magus, it will be easier for me to study and promote magic machines, but your excellency Great Magician, you've forgotten an important problem, which is time.
You think that with my talent, if I focused on studying magic, how many years would it take for me to become an Arch Magus? "
"This … …" Great Magician Camilla thought for a bit before shaking his head.
"That is hard to say.
Becoming a powerful magician not only requires time, it also requires some luck.
If it goes well, with your talent, you might become a powerful Arch Magus in thirty years.
Of course, this is already considered very fast in the Sines. "
"Thirty years?
I'll be close to sixty years old then.
Your excellency Great Magician, how old do you think I can live for?
If I start studying magic machines in thirty years, how many years can I study them for? "
Great Magician Camilla was speechless.
"A person's energy and time are limited. Your excellency Great Magician, I've already decided to study magic machines, so it's very hard for me to also study magic.
Of course, while researching magic machines, my magic power is also quickly growing, right? "
After a while, Great Magician Camilla gave a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "Alright, this is the last time I'm advising you, I won't mention this topic again in the future.
You aren't a child like Stiel, you have your own thoughts and ambitions, so I have no way or reason to stop you.
But as an old man who has lived longer than you, I still want to remind you that on the continent, becoming a powerful magician is useful at any time.
You said that you can increase your magic power while studying magic machines, this is very good. Don't forget this, it will be very helpful to you in the future. "
Xu Yi gave a serious nod, "Yes, I understand. Many thanks for your advice.
Other than that ….. Stiel has always said to me that she isn't a child, so if you say this to her, be careful that she doesn't get angry. "
Great Magician Camilla suddenly looked at Xu Yi with a strange look and asked, "Xu Yi, you don't think that Stiel is a child?"
Xu Yi was stunned. After thinking about it, he replied, "Based on the age difference between us, perhaps she can be considered a child.
But objectively speaking, she can't be considered a child no matter what.
Then again, recently she ….. Ke ….. She has experienced quite a few things and has matured quite a bit, so she can't be considered a child. "
"You said that she's matured quite a bit?"
Great Magician Camilla narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Yi with a strange expression for a while before suddenly saying, "Kid, remember what I just said.
It's best not to leave good things for last because it's very likely that others will steal it. "
Xu Yi looked at Great Magician Camilla in a daze, as his head was filled with confusion.
What was with Great Magician Camilla today?
Why did he say such strange things?
