Volume 1 Chapter 67 (1/2)

Burying a seed

Since he reached an agreement with Great Magician Camilla, he went back to the Camilla Magic Tower more often.

Especially after discussing with the Lord City Lord and decided to focus on developing agricultural magic machines, Xu Yi had been more diligent in visiting.

Agricultural magic machines required more power and naturally it required more powerful magic to provide this power. Of the magicians that were working with Xu Yi right now, other than Great Magician Camilla, there was no one else with this ability.

Xu Yi’s research department had been separated into two sections. One was made up of Still, Evita, and Akali, who were mainly focused on studying Magic Array in household magic machines. The other was made up of Great Magician Camilla alone, who was mainly in charge of heavy magic machines that required more power.

Because only Xu Yi had a knowledge of magic and mechanical engineering, he had to participate in both fields of research.

This naturally was not a good situation.

The mechanical engineering research couldn’t be complete by Xu Yi alone. As long as there were more and more magicians with abilities similar to Xu Yi, their research power would become stronger and stronger.

So during these days, whether it was when he was with Still’s group of three or if he was with Great Magician Camilla, Xu Yi had been paying attention to secretly teaching them some foundational mechanical engineering knowledge.

Since the four of them could become outstanding magicians, their learning and understanding abilities were naturally also outstanding, so they easily accepted this new knowledge.

Now when Xu Yi made plans for a new magic machine, they could even give him some advice.

Of course, it was far from being enough just having the four of them.

So Xu Yi ran to Baron Rickto Magic Academy to hold this kind of class. His goal was to lay down seeds in the hearts of the students, giving them preliminary knowledge on fusing magic and machines.

If there were results in the future, Xu Yi could continue holding public classes at the Baron Rickto Magic Academy.

If it was even possible, he would make this course a regular part of the Baron Rickto Magic Academy curriculum.

If even a tenth of the students who graduated here were to focus on studying magic machines, that was a power that could not be ignored.

“Hey, chairman Xu, you’re here again.”

When Xu Yi entered the Magic Tower, a magician came forward to warmly welcome him.

“Hey, good morning. Is his excellency Great Magician here?” Xu Yi smiled as he greeted him.

The magician circle was not big and the Magic Tower’s circle was even smaller, so the news of Xu Yi cooperating with Great Magician Camilla couldn’t be hidden at all. It didn’t take long before it was spread all over the Magic Tower.

Almost all the magicians in the Magic Tower knew that Great Magician Camilla was working with Xu Yi and he received a thousand gold coins from Xu Yi each year.

The Magic Tower being able to return to its normal condition could be said to all depend on the thousand gold coin investment from Xu Yi.

To be even more direct, Xu Yi could be considered the one who was paying all the magicians in the Magic Tower.

So when facing Xu Yi, the magicians who used to have a bit of disdain towards him naturally became much more welcoming.

“His excellency Great Magician is in the top layer experimenting with magic like normal. He will definitely be happy to see you.” The magician responded with a full smile.

“Alright, thank you.” Xu Yi nodded and thanked him. He didn’t go to the magic ladder leading to the top layer, rather he went to the research lab that belonged to him.

When he pushed open the door, he saw that everyone was leaned over their tables seriously studying magic.

But looking carefully, they were not engaged in normal magic research, rather they were researching all kinds of Magic Arrays.

Looking at the wall of the lab, there was a large diagram on the wall there and there was a strange machine drawn on it.

Hearing the sound of the door, Lotte looked up in surprise. When she saw Xu Yi, she immediately skipped over.

“Xu Yi, you’re here!”
