Chapter 95
Xu Yi didn't have the heart to care about a teenager who was still underage. After leaving a sentence, he left the inner room of the Magician's Guild.
Seeing Xu Yi coming out, the old magician at the gate actually shook his head at him again, as if he was still puzzled and regretful that the great magician Camilla gave Xu Yi a precious recommendation.
Xu Yi could only smile at him, unable to explain anything.
The situation in the trade union hall was no different from when Xu Yi went in just now. It was still crowded and noisy.
However, after Xu Yi walked out of the door of the inner room, he found that many eyes were swept over.
Only those who have received a special recommendation can enter the inner room to enjoy the preferential treatment of priority registration. Many people who signed up know this. Seeing Xu Yi go in and then come out naturally arouses their curiosity.
Unlike the old magician who had doubts in the mind of the female magician just now, these magicians who have noticed Xu Yi now are simply envious or jealous of Xu Yi because they do not know the situation of the great magician Camilla. Get a special referral spot.
Facing these savage gazes, Xu Yi did not intend to dodge at all, but instead met the gazes of everyone, and in turn observed the past carefully.
Judging from the situation in the hall, most of the magicians who came to sign up for the assessment were mainly young people, and only a few magicians looked older than Xu Yi.
This is not surprising. The magician's union in the Kingdom of Lampari is only responsible for the certification examination of magicians of level 5 and below, while magicians of level 5 and below can only be regarded as relatively low-level among magicians. Still mainly young people.
Older magicians are either already very powerful in magic, or they are limited by their talents, and their magic power has long been finalized.
The area of this hall is about 200 square meters. Xu Yi made a visual inspection and estimated that there should be about 200 magicians squeezed in it. In addition to the magicians seen in the square outside and in the city of Anweimar, it is now light. In this Anvilmar city, there are probably more than a thousand magicians.
When chatting with the great magician last time, Xu Yi once asked him curiously how many magicians there are in Lampari Kingdom.
The great magician of Camilla said that he did not have specific data, but according to the statistics of the Magician Guild last year, the number of magicians in Lampari Kingdom has exceeded 5,000.
If you don't count the statistics, this number is likely to be close to 6,000.
As for the entire Sainz Continent, three years ago, the Magician Guild released a data. At that time, there were 87,467 registered magicians in the entire continent.
Counting the uncounted, the total is likely to exceed 100,000.
Of course, the magician as a whole is also in a standard pyramid structure.
Among the total number of magicians on the Sainz Continent that may exceed 100,000, there are currently only 27 magicians, more than 500 one-star to five-star great magicians, and the rest are all from beginner to ninth level. ordinary magicians.
In the Kingdom of Lampari, a three-star magician like the great magician Camilla can already be regarded as a powerful magician. division.
When Xu Yi looked at these magicians, what he thought of was not the cruelty of the magician's profession, but a serious consideration.
For powerful magicians like the Great Magician Camilla, the Kingdom of Lampari will provide special funds to support them, but ordinary magicians below the Great Magician have no such income.
So how do these magicians live?
Judging from Xu Yi's experience in Bangta City, there were only less than 20 magicians employed in the magic tower of the Great Magician Camilla. In addition, various chambers of commerce hired some magicians to act as guards.
In addition, like the fifth-level and lower-level magicians with the largest number of bases, I am afraid that there is no such opportunity.
So what is the ultimate way out for these magicians whose magical strength is low, but cannot be improved due to their innate talent?
Is it really like what Steele said, find a few like-minded companions and go on adventures all over the continent?
You must know that this road is also very dangerous, and countless adventurers die every year because of it.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's eyes on the magicians in the hall suddenly changed with a little sympathy, and more anticipation and excitement.
With the development and growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the output of the two workshops has gradually increased, and it has gradually become unsustainable to rely on the students hired by the Baron Riktor Magic Academy to draw the magic circle.
For this reason, Director Shearer once protested to Xu Yi, saying that he sent half of the students of the Magic Branch to work part-time, which even affected the arrangement of the academy.
Xu Yi is also very clear about this. After all, the main task of the students is to study, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time working for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi must find someone else to replace them.
The problem is that Bangta City is a small city, and there are not many magicians in the city, so Xu Yi simply cannot recruit enough people.
Xu Yi had been worried about this before, but now seeing the hall full of magicians, Xu Yi suddenly realized that this problem that had troubled him for a long time suddenly seemed to be able to be solved!
Xu Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart, pondered for a moment, put on some kind smiles on his face, and walked to the nearest magician who was looking at him.
"Hello, my name is Xu Yi, I'm from Bangta City, can I ask where you are from?" Xu Yi asked the young male magician who looked to be in his early twenties.
The young male magician obviously didn't expect Xu Yi to come directly to say hello. After being stunned for a while, he reluctantly smiled and nodded to Xu Yi.
"You... hello, my name is Cesar, from Wells City."
"Wales City? That's a beautiful city." Xu Yi immediately praised. "I heard that there are many rivers in Wales, and the whole city seems to be built on water, isn't it?"
"Well...it's really beautiful." Cesar said casually, and finally he couldn't help but ask Xu Yi with his doubts in his heart: "You said that you are from Bangta City, I know that there is only one Camilla in Bangta City. Great Mage, were you recommended by him?"
Xu Yi glanced back at the passage he had just entered, then turned to meet the doubtful Cesar, and nodded lightly.
"Yes, it is indeed the great magician Camilla who recommended me to participate in the assessment."
"Then...are you some kind of relative of the great magician of Camilla? Oh, sorry, I didn't doubt you, just...it's just that you don't have a magician badge on your chest, I think you didn't pass the primary test, right? ?" Cesar asked again.
Xu Yi looked down at his empty chest, then looked at Cesar's chest, and found a beautifully made magician badge hanging on Cesar's chest. In the pattern on the badge, there were two ripples representing water waves below. Prove that he should be a second-level magician certified by the Magician's Guild.
"Yes, I did not pass the primary assessment." Xu Yi nodded. "I think you must be wondering why I was specially recommended by the great magician Camilla?"
Cesar smiled, neither affirming nor denying it.
"The reason why I got a special recommendation from the great magician Camilla is not because I have any special relationship with him, and of course not because my magic talent is outstanding, but because..." Xu Yi paused. , Deliberately sold out, and seeing that Cesar's attention has been fully concentrated, he replied with a smile: "Because I have some unique insights in the research of magic machinery."
"Excuse me, you said... magic machinery? What is that?" Cesar asked in confusion.
"That's it..."
With Xu Yi's explanation, Cesar quickly figured out what a magic machine was.
"You mean, you study magic not to become stronger, but to study these magical machines?" Cesar looked at Xu Yi inexplicably.
This guy is not a few years older than himself, and he is already the president of a chamber of commerce in Bangta City, and his products of the new flying chamber of commerce are still magic machinery, which is even more strange.
What kind of magical machine can this do?
"Don't you think it's a wonderful thing to allow everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by magic?" Xu Yi tried his best to seduce Cesar. "Our New Flying Guild is still in urgent need of magicians like you, who will give their all to this cause. How is it? Cesar, are you willing to join our Chamber of Commerce?"
Cesar didn't know what expression to use to face Xu Yi for a while.
He is currently only a second-level magician, and he is not strong enough to attract the attention of any chamber of commerce. Now Xu Yi has suddenly appeared and asked him to join this new flying chamber of commerce. To be honest, he still has a moment's temptation.
But when he thought that this new flying merchant association was only in a small place like Bangta City, and the products produced were even more strange magical machines, he felt a little reluctant.
"This... I'm sorry, I just want to concentrate on researching magic for the time being, my strength is not enough..."
Xu Yi suddenly stretched out a finger. "Ten gold coins a month."
Cesar nearly choked to death on his own saliva.
Ten gold coins a month? Although Cesar has never been invited by any chamber of commerce, he knows that when many chambers of commerce invite magicians they like to join, they will offer a minimum salary of 20 gold coins per month.
Of course, those magicians who can be seen by the Chamber of Commerce and are enough to act as guards are obviously far more than weak second-level magicians like him, I am afraid that the minimum should be fifth-level magicians.
Logically, the price Xu Yi said was a fair price for a second-level magician, but Cesar refused after hesitating for a while.
"I'm sorry, I'm not short of money now. Rather than earning money, I prefer to hurry up and improve my magic level." Cesar said sternly. "President Xu, thank you for your kindness. If there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, I will consider your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Yi was disappointed, but he still kept a smile on his face, and nodded lightly: "Okay, since Cesar is not willing, of course I won't force it. But our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will always open the door for you, what are you? When there is a change of mind, you can come to Bangta City at any time, and I will always welcome it wholeheartedly.”
Cesar nodded with a smile.
In any case, it is very pleasant to get along with this President Xu.
After watching Cesar leave, Xu Yi realized that he had made a mistake.
Judging from the clothes on this Cesar, his family background is obviously good, so in the absence of economic pressure, based on the current general understanding of Sainz Continent, of course, he is now the most important thing to improve his strength, and he will refuse. Xu Yi's solicitation is not surprising.
Xu Yi was not very disappointed. After discovering this problem, he turned his target to those magicians who didn't seem to be in very good condition.
After asking seven more people, the results were not very satisfactory.
Maybe it's because they haven't been able to accept new things like magic machinery. Although these seven magicians seem to have average conditions, only three of them showed interest in Xu Yi's proposal, and they really agreed that Xu Yi would come. There was only one person in Bangta City to see.
The remaining four were not too different from Cesar's response.
In this regard, Xu Yi can only express helplessness.
If you want to change this situation, you must first change the minds of the magicians on the Sainz Continent.
And this is obviously something he can't do now.
"Huh? Are you Xu Yi? Xu Yi! It's really you!"
At this moment, a voice full of surprise suddenly sounded beside Xu Yi.
