Volume 1 Chapter 50 (1/2)

Poor Great Magician

After an hour, Xu Yi met Great Magician Camilla in the top layer of the Magic Tower.

After observing his excellency Great Magician for a while, Xu Yi couldn’t help giving a secret sigh.

Since the last time he saw his excellency Great Magician, it had already been twenty days. However, even though a short twenty days had passed, his excellency Great Magician had clearly gotten much older.

Other than being thinner and more tired, the most prominent thing was that his excellency Great Magician’s head of brown hair now had several gray hairs that appeared.

For a Great Magician that always seemed to be bursting with life and filled with energy to look like this, he must have encountered quite a bit of pressure in the past few days.

After seeing Xu Yi, Great Magician Camilla seemed to have forgotten something. He was like he was in the beginning, nodding at Xu Yi with a kind look, signaling him to sit down.

“Xu Yi, what did you come looking for me for this time?” Although he looked tired, Great Magician Camilla still had a serious expression, “Let me tell you first, if you are here to discuss a business cooperation, you can leave right now.”

Xu Yi was silent for a bit before saying with a smile, “Your excellency Great Magician, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. I came this time because I wanted some help with a problem in magic because I’ve met some difficulty that I can’t solve for now. But now I’ve changed my mind and want to talk to you about a business cooperation.”

Great Magician Camilla knit his brows and angrily said, “Then scram for me! You fellows, all of you are falling into traps of money, how are you qualified to be magicians? Ah?”

Xu Yi still had his smile and his expression didn’t change.

“Your excellency Great Magician, I think your words are a bit mistaken. Falling into a trap of money is not right, but that seems to be unrelated to whether one is qualified to a magician or not, right?”

“Humph! A fellow that only knows how to make money and doesn’t know how to study magic, are they qualified?”

Xu Yi shook his head, “Your excellency Great Magician, I have a question for you. Tell me, do you think magic research needs money?”

Great Magician Camilla’s expression froze and his expression changed. It went from anger to doubt before finally reaching helplessness.

“Magic research of course needs money and not only does it need it, it needs a lot of money…..” Great Magician Camilla gave a sigh as a dull look appeared on his face.

“So that means that not only should a magician not be opposed to making money, they should combine the two. Your excellency Great Magician, do you think this is correct?”

Great Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi and said with a cold snort, “Did you specially come to ridicule me?”

“No, your excellency Great Magician, you are mistaken. I definitely didn’t have the meaning of ridiculing you. I only…..heard that you met some problems and wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with.”

Great Magician Camilla stared at Xu Yi for a while and only saw sincerity from his face, so he said with a soft snort, “Did Still tell you?”

“Still indeed told me a bit, the rest I heard from the other coworkers.” Xu Yi paused before continuing, “Your excellency Great Magician, I feel that you should change your ideas right now. How about attempting to combine magic and business?”

“I hate businessmen and hate the spirit of merchants polluting the pure magic.” Great Magician Camilla said with a cold snort.

“But you don’t hate gold coins, right?” Xu Yi asked.

Great Magician Camilla gave a cold snort, but he didn’t refute him.

Xu Yi used this chance to say, “That’s right, gold coins are only a tool. What you hate are those people who use this tool to hurt you and not gold coins itself. Money does is not classified into good and evil, if it is used well, it is a very useful tool. If it isn’t used well, it can also bring great disaster. Great Magician Camilla, if you had enough money, what would you use it for?”

“Nonsense. If I had enough gold coins, I would definitely invest it all into magic research.” Great Magician Camilla replied in an exceptionally simple manner.

“But you don’t have enough gold coins right now, isn’t that right?”

Great Magician Camilla’s expression changed and he didn’t speak for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Yi gently shook his head. It seemed like the difficulties Great Magician Camilla had met now was even more serious than he had thought.

When he noticed that Cimirot, Rem, and Wella had actually left the Magic Tower in the lab, Xu Yi wasn’t that surprised. But after he found that everyone else in the lab had their hearts swayed and had the idea of leaving the Magic Tower, Xu Yi knew that this situation was not right.

After he kept using a veiled attack, Xu Yi finally received an answer that he didn’t expect.
