Volume 1 Chapter 52 (1/2)

Mentality change

This time, when Xu Yi left Great Magician Camilla’s exclusive research lab, he didn’t look as sorry as he did before. Instead he had his head up high and he had a proud smile on his face.

Still had been waiting outside for a full two hours and had already become anxious from waiting. When she saw Xu Yi come out, she immediately rushed over and expectantly asked Xu Yi, “How is it? How is it? What did grandfather say?”

Xu Yi smiled as he raised his right hand’s index and middle finger at still, showing the “v” hand sign. Then realizing that Still might not understand what this meant, he quickly said, “Relax, his excellency Great Magician agreed.”

“Agreed?” Still called out in surprise. She looked over Xu Yi with a face covered in curiosity, “Grandfather actually agreed! I say, Xu Yi, how did you make grandfather submit? Could it be that you used the legendary dark enchantment magic on grandfather?”

“How could I possibly know that stuff?” Xu Yi snappily looked at Still, “Then again, your grandfather is a Great Magician. I am just a fellow who hasn’t even passed the Magicians Guild’s certification examination, wouldn’t I be rushing to my death if I cast magic on him?”

“Then how did you get grandfather to agree? He is someone who absolutely hates businessmen, not to mention working together with them.” Still kept questioning him in a curious manner.

“This…..” Xu Yi paused for a bit before giving a helpless sigh, “His excellency Great Magician had no choice. In the end, a magician still needs to eat and the problem your grandfather faces right now is real, he doesn’t have any money. Although an old person like him is very stubborn, compared to this Magic Tower that he painstakingly built, that stubbornness doesn’t count for anything. Then again, cooperating with me is better than cooperating with other merchants, I at least am considered a merchant with a conscience. Moreover, at the same time, I also have a status as a magician, which makes it easier for your grandfather to accept.”

A dispirited look appeared on Still’s face as she gave a slight nod. She said with a sigh, “That’s right, if it wasn’t for the fact that he really had no other choice, grandfather definitely wouldn’t do this.” After saying this, she looked at the door to Great Magician Camilla’s exclusive laboratory, “I’m going to see him.”

Watching Still walk in, Xu Yi considered it before turning to leave the Magic Tower.

He had just discussed this matter with Great Magician Camilla for a full two hours, Xu Yi’s harvests could be considered quite rich.

The most important harvest was naturally finally being able to cooperate with Great Magician Camilla.

Since what he studied was magic machines, magic naturally had an important role to play.

Before now, the magic machines Xu Yi studied could be considered light machinery, so the magic used wasn’t any high level Magic Arrays. With his current strength, it was enough to complete it.

But when Xu Yi prepared to develop the Magic Plowing Machine, he ran into a problem that he had already expected. That was the fact that his magic power wasn’t strong enough.

Because the Magic Plowing Machine needed to loosen a large area of earth, it needed a power source that was stronger than the other magic machines that Xu Yi had developed before. After Xu Yi made some careful calculations, he confirmed that if he were to use Wind Attributed Magic Arrays, it would take at least a Level Six Magic Array to work.

Although Xu Yi’s magic power had been constantly increasing, since it had been a short period of time, he was still only between a Third and Fourth Grade Magician. He could only use a few Fourth Grade Magic Spells and Magic Arrays, he had no way of using Sixth Grade Magic Arrays at all.

Even if it was Still, Evita, and Akali who were stronger than Xu Yi, they also couldn’t use a Sixth Grade Magic Array. Xu Yi was helpless in this matter and could only steel his heart to look for Great Magician Camilla for help.

Speaking of this, Xu Yi should thank the Lampuri Kingdom’s Royal Family. If they didn’t suddenly cut Great Magician Camilla’s funding, causing this economic crisis for the Great Magician, Xu Yi wouldn’t have been able to make this clean sweep with him. Who knows when he would have been able to convince Great Magician Camilla to agree to working with him,

Xu Yi was not in a rush for success. He knew that even if Great Magician Camilla agreed to work with him, the prejudice against merchants in his heart would not easily disappeared. So, he only brought out this Magic Plowing Machine to let Great Magician Camilla study and didn’t raise any other requests.

It had to be said, a Great Magician really was a Great Magician. Not only did his magic power surpass Xu Yi’s, his eyes, wisdom, and realm all surpassed him.

After Xu Yi thoroughly explained the concept of the Magic Plowing Machine, Great Magician Camilla only said a single word that stunned Xu Yi for a while.

“Since it’s to plow the earth, why do you use a Wind Attributed Magic Array? Why not use an Earth Attributed Magic Array?”
