The meeting with Great Magician Camilla took longer than Xu Yi expected.
Around the Magic Array of the Magic Fan, Great Magician Camilla asked many questions. In order to obtain Great Magician Camilla's favour, Xu Yi had to answer each question in detail.
But many of Great Magician Camilla's questions weren't related to the Magic Array itself. After all, this Revolving Wind Array was only a low level Wind Magic Array. Even if Xu Yi changed it, it was impossible for a Great Magician like Camilla to not understand it.
The reason why he had these questions was mostly because he didn't understand the overall design of the Magic Fan.
As for the problems related to the design, there was a lot of mechanical engineering knowledge involved.
This knowledge had never appeared in Sines before, so it was very troublesome for Xu Yi to explain to Great Magician Camilla. Sometimes he had to start from the very beginning.
But it was because of this that when Xu Yi finished explaining these problems to Great Magician Camilla, Great Magician Camilla unexpectedly praised him.
"I thought that this Magic Fan was something you casually designed, but I never thought that there would be such a wealth of knowledge in it.
Moreover, even if you don't mention the things that I don't understand, just based on this Magic Array itself, I feel that your talent in magic is very high. "
After saying this, Great Magician Camilla paused as he looked at Xu Yi with a bit of expectation.
"Xu Yi, I feel that you're quite good. How about it?
Are you interested in coming under me to help me with my magic research? "
Xu Yi was stunned at that moment.
Help Great Magician Camilla with his magic research?
According to the traditions of Sines, this was equal to Great Magician Camilla wanting to take Xu Yi as his apprentice!
If it was any other magician, they would be wild with joy and agree without any hesitation.
Camilla was a top Three Star Great Magician in Sines. Being able to become his apprentice was the dream of many young magicians!
If the other magicians in the Magic Tower knew about this, they would be jealous of Xu Yi to death from the bottom of their hearts!
However, after Xu Yi thought about it, he didn't immediately agree and just let him consider it.
Great Magician Camilla was clearly a bit surprised and disappointed, but he didn't force Xu Yi to immediately agree. He waved his hand to let him leave.
After leaving the top floor of the Magic Tower and being hit by the heat wave, Xu Yi was instantly covered in sweat, but he also calmed down at the same time.
Become Great Magician Camilla's apprentice?
If it was two months ago, or even one month ago, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now, he realized that he wasn't really interested in this proposal.
"Why am I suddenly not moved?" Xu Yi knit his brows as he asked himself this.
After many thoughts passed through his mind, a familiar item appeared in his mind, the Magic Fan.
That's right, it's the Magic Fan!
This thing that combined magic and mechanical technology from earth made Xu Yi completely immersed himself in it during this time. When he was doing this research, it made him feel like he had returned to the research lab on earth.
Xu Yi didn't feel anything at first, but thinking about it now, he found that it was all because of the Mechanical Engineer's Soul inside him.
That's right, he had loved machines since he was young. In the previous world, he had completely devoted himself to the mechanical industry.
Even if he couldn't display his love and talent after coming to this magic world, forcing him to study magic, his heart hadn't changed.
Now that he had experienced the joy of studying the mechanical industry through the Magic Fan, how could he be willing to give it up?
"Right!
I want to study the mechanical industry in this magic world!
I want to completely combine magic and the mechanical industry!
Not only the fan, but also the air conditioner and the refrigerator!
Even the ship and the plane!
I want to create a complete industrial system on the continent!
I want to create a magic machine empire here! "
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly felt his mind become clear and his body was filled with energy.
He understood that this was because after spending three years in this world in a daze, he had finally set his goal.
This goal was very far and could even be considered vague, but as long as there was a goal, there would be motivation!
As for the difficulty?
It was something that could be overcome.
Xu Yi quickly returned to the lab and what welcomed him were gazes filled with envy, jealousy, and doubt.
His colleagues couldn't understand at all why this newcomer who had been in the Magic Tower for less than two months would suddenly be summoned by Great Magician Camilla. It had to be known that they rarely saw Great Magician Camilla, not to mention being summoned by him.
Xu Yi didn't care about the strange gazes of his colleagues, but now that he had a goal in his heart, he didn't care at all. He had a faint smile on his face as he easily returned to his seat.
Even if he wasn't planning on becoming Great Magician Camilla's apprentice, Xu Yi wasn't planning on leaving the Magic Tower immediately.
If he wanted to do something in Banta City that was related to magic, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Great Magician Camilla. Xu Yi wasn't stupid enough to cut off this relationship.
###
Three kilometers to the west of Banta City, there was a small manor that was less than ten thousand square meters.
Although this manor wasn't very big, it was very famous in Banta City because it was the only magic academy in Banta City, the Baron Rickto Magic Academy.
As the only magic academy in Banta City, the Baron Rickto Magic Academy could be said to have gathered all the children with magic talent in and around Banta City.
For these children who wanted to become powerful magicians, studying here was very important. It could even make them forget to eat and sleep.
According to convention, other than studying basic magic theory, the students also needed to learn some knowledge related to Magic Arrays.
Only when it was time to learn Magic Arrays today, the teacher in charge of teaching Magic Arrays in the second grade fourth class surprised the students by taking out a strange looking iron tool.
"Isn't that the Magic Fan!" Some of the sharp-eyed students immediately recognized it.
The Magic Fan had been selling well in Banta City these past few days. This kind of thing that wasn't considered expensive and had a low cost, as well as being able to cool people down was welcomed by everyone.
The families of the Baron Rickto Magic Academy's students weren't bad and there were quite a few people who had bought the Magic Fan as soon as possible, so naturally they could easily recognize it.
But recognizing the Magic Fan wasn't a big deal, but why did the teacher take it out in class?
"Students, today's main lesson is to study this Magic Fan.
Accurately speaking, it's to study the Magic Array inside the Magic Fan. "The teacher quickly gave an answer to the students.
"Che, it's just something that commoners use, what value is there in studying it?
Teacher, could it be that you took out the wrong one? "
The one who said this was a youth around sixteen-seventeen years old who was a bit fat.
This youth was called Orin Zetaman, the second son of Banta City's Viscount Zetaman. He had the best family in the second grade fourth class and it's said that there was a large scale Frost Array in each room, so naturally he didn't care about the Magic Fan.
Hearing Orin's words, the teacher's face sunk and he said in a serious voice, "Orin, you can look down on this Magic Fan, but as a magician, you can't look down on the Magic Array inside the Magic Fan.
I can responsibly tell you that the Magic Array in this Magic Fan is very exquisite, it is not something a normal magician can design.
I can even boldly guess that the magician who designed this Magic Array is very likely at the Great Magician level! "
"Ah?"
"It can't be, right?
Great Magician? "
"That's right, how could a Great Magician do this?"
"Our Banta City only has his excellency Camilla as a Great Magician, right?
Didn't he never like to associate magic with merchants? "
"Perhaps he changed his mind?"
… …
After the students were noisy for a bit, they understood the teacher's meaning.
Whether the Magic Array inside was designed by a Great Magician or not, there was no doubt that the level of magic contained in this Magic Array was much higher than they had imagined.
Since it was like this, it was natural for the teacher to let them properly study it.
When the teacher opened the Magic Fan and revealed the Magic Array in the base for the students to study, the students were even more shocked.
As second year students of the Baron Rickto Magic Academy, they were no longer beginners who didn't know anything about magic. Naturally they could see the shocking level of magic contained in this Magic Array.
Although many students could tell that this was a variation of the Revolving Wind Array, there wasn't a single student that could understand it.
There were even many students who couldn't understand how this Magic Array was maintained and operated, not to mention how this Magic Fan could be operated by relying on this Magic Array.
It had to be known, there were several magical geniuses in the second grade fourth class. They were even known as the most talented class in the history of the Baron Rickto Magic Academy!
The more these arrogant young men and women studied this Magic Array, the more they felt that this Magic Array was filled with mysteries. Naturally they were filled with admiration for the magician who designed this Magic Array.
Only they didn't know that the magician they were secretly admiring in their hearts wasn't that far away from them at this moment.
In the student management office of the Baron Rickto Magic Academy, director Shearer looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with knitted brows. Only then did he confirm that he was Great Magician Camilla's subordinate from the black robe he was wearing.
"Young man, what did you come here for?
Or did Great Magician Camilla send you here? "
"No, this isn't related to Great Magician Camilla, this is my personal matter." Xu Yi shook his head with a smile.
"Personal matter?
What is it? "
"It's not a troublesome matter. I came here to hire some students to work for me."
Shearer's face sunk, "This is a magic academy, not a mercenary academy. You've come to the wrong place!"
Xu Yi didn't move as he said with a faint smile, "Then director Shearer, what if the job I'm talking about can not only give the students a reward, it can also help them raise their magic level?"
Shearer was stunned, "Are you joking?
How could there be such a good job? "
"Of course there is." Xu Yi revealed a smile.
"If you don't mind, I can slowly explain it to you … …"
