Volume 1 Chapter 31 (1/2)

Spokesperson

Xu Yi left Great Magician Camilla’s lab covered in dust.

When he saw the Magic Air Conditioner earlier, Xu Yi remembered that when he studied the Magic Air Conditioner, he had consulted Great Magician Camilla several times and obtained many modifications of the Frost Array from him. So he wanted to invite Great Magician Camilla to be his research adviser. With his excellency Great Magician’s powerful magic strength, there were many problems that could be easily solved.

When Xu Yi found Great Magician Camilla, their discussion at first was quite harmonious, with Great Magician Camilla even agreeing to Xu Yi’s request, temporarily giving some magic knowledge to solve some problem that he couldn’t solve. But when Xu Yi offered to pay him in gold coins for his services, Great Magician Camilla’s face instantly changed. He angrily slapped the table and pointed at the entrance to have Xu Yi scram, not giving him a chance to explain at all.

“This Great Magician Camilla, does he have some kind of grudge against money?” Xu Yi couldn’t help wondering about this.

Although he already knew that Great Magician Camilla didn’t mix magic research and business, he never thought that it would reach this kind of situation.

“Hey, uncle, what do you have a distressed look for? Does someone owe you money?” There was a beautiful voice that suddenly came from beside him.

“Nobody owes me money. Other than that, I’m only twenty seven years old, stop always calling me uncle, alright?” Xu Yi snappily looked at Still.

After a single night, Still’s face didn’t show any sign of the heartbreak from last night and she recovered her youthful appearance.

Of course, she was still obviously a bit thinner. This was something that couldn’t be recovered in a single night.

“Who told you to always regard me as a child?” Still gave a snort. Seeing the Great Magician’s exclusive laboratory behind Xu Yi, she asked in a low voice, “What? Did you make grandfather angry?”

Xu Yi told Still about the matter that made him depressed and it caused her to break out in laughter and teasing.

“Ha, ha, you deserve it! You already knew that my grandfather didn’t like these things, but you still propose paying him to him. Isn’t this just looking for trouble?”

“Ai, how could I have known he hated it this much.” Xu Yi gave a sigh and couldn’t help but ask, “Still, his excellency Great Magician, why is he so opposed to this? The other Great Magicians clearly wouldn’t reject this.”

“You want to know?” Still revealed a sly smile, “This won’t do if you don’t pay a little price.”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and looked at the sky outside the window, “It’s not time to eat yet, so how about we get some afternoon tea?”

After ordering two cold drinks in a snack bar near the Magic Tower, still told Xu Yi the entire story.

In the beginning, Great Magician Camilla had several disciples and there were two who he placed high expectations on. He thought that as long as they were willing to put in effort, they would become powerful magicians eventually and could even surpass him.

But in the end, these disciples couldn’t resist the call of money. They were hired at a young age by large companies and became guards for those companies. They completely disregarded their magic research and didn’t advance at all after many years.

Great Magician Camilla was very hurt by what they did, while also abhorring the actions of those companies. It accumulated after several times and it turned into his current manner.

“After grandfather looked at your Magic Fan, he felt that your magic talent was outstanding and was filled with great expectations towards you. In the end, not only did you reject studying under him, you even made your own company, so naturally he was very disappointed. Let me tell you, if grandfather wasn’t filled with hope towards you and your magic power has indeed kept growing, he would have chased you out of the Magic Tower already. How could he let you see him whenever and even solve your questions about magic? Now that you are discussing a business agreement with him, will he not be angry? So I told you you deserved this, but you didn’t believe me.”

Towards Still’s final statement, Xu Yi could only open and close his lips without saying a thing.

“It really is a pity, I wanted to invite his excellency Great Magician to be our chief researcher and I even hoped that he could be the spokesperson for our company’s products. According to what you said, doesn’t that mean there is no hope?” Xu Yi helplessly said.

“Are you dreaming?” Still looked at Xu Yi before asking in a curious voice, “But what do you mean by chief researcher and spokesperson? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
