Volume 1 Chapter 68 (1/2)

If you were a Grand Magus

Xu Yi was a bit surprised. After his excellency Great Magician received the gold coins from him, his mood was much better compared to before. He was actually in a casual mood and even joked around with him.

“Un…...Let’s hear the bad news first, I’ve always liked leaving good things for last.”

“This is not a good habit. If good things are left too long, they will be stolen by other people.” Great Magician Camilla shook his head, saying something that confused Xu Yi, “But since you want to hear the bad news first, then I’ll satisfy your desire. Listen well, the bad news is that Magicians Guild has rejected the idea of Magic Array Patent that you proposed.”

Xu Yi let out a sigh, but his expression didn’t seem that disappointed.

“Did they give a reason?”

“There is a reason. It is because Magicians Guild is a collection of magicians, so since the beginning, the Magicians Guild has advocated cooperation between magicians. Studying Magic Arrays, making progress together, and promoting the development of magic. So your proposal has gone against the basic aim of the Magicians Guild, so of course it wouldn’t pass.” Great Magician Camilla explained.

“Studying and progressing together?” Xu Yi couldn’t help laughing, “Do people believe this joke? Of the magicians on the Sines Continent, which one isn’t studying magic by themselves? If they do make a breakthrough, they will definitely hide it, afraid that other magicians will find out. Now you’re telling me that magicians should cooperate with each other…..Hei……”

Great Magician Camilla knit his brows and forcefully knocked on the table, “Xu Yi, pay attention to your attitude. No matter what you are thinking, the goal of the Magicians Guild is like this. This proposal was raised by a Great Magician like me, so there is only a rejection and there are no consequences at all. If it was raised by you, it is very likely that you would have lost the right to participate in the certification exam. Do you understand how serious this matter is?”

Xu Yi was stunned, “Your excellency Great Magician, I only asked you to submit this proposal for me, I didn’t have any intention for you to put it in your name.”

“This is nothing, just treat it as me working for the thousand gold coins.” Great Magician Camilla shook his head before casually saying, “Alright, you’ve heard the bad news, now I’ll tell you the good news. Although your proposal didn’t pass, I have recommended you to the Magicians Guild and you’re qualified for next month’s certification exam. You can participate with a Great Magician’s recommendation and if you perform well, you’ll have a higher evaluation than normal magicians who take the exam.”

Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh, “Compared to the bad news, this is lacking too much. Your excellency Great Magician, you should know that I’m not interested in becoming a high level magician. Whether my evaluation is high or not, this doesn’t have any meaning to me at all.”

Great Magician Camilla glared at him and spoke with a cold snort, “Kid, let me warn you, don’t be conceited. I know that you have earned quite a bit of money with your magic machines, so you aren’t that interested in becoming a powerful magician. However, I must tell you that on the Sines Continent, being a powerful magician is very important. If you can become a Great Magician like me or an Arch Magus who is even stronger than me, you will find that many things will be much easier for you! Like with your proposal, I am a Great Magician, so there are no problems even if the proposal doesn’t pass. But if you were to mention it, it is very likely the Magicians Guild would have stripped you of your rights to participate in the exam. But if the person who made the proposal was an Arch Magus, even if the proposal went against the basis of the Magicians Guild, they wouldn’t have directly rejected it like this and would have considered it. If it were a Grand Magus who proposed it…...Kid, do you know what would have happened?”

Xu Yi was astonished, “What would happen?”

Great Magician Camilla gave another cold snort, “Kid, you don’t even understand what a Grand Magus represents. There have been less than ten Grand Magus on the Sines Continent in the past few thousand years and every one of them has been a super powerful person who could cause tremors on the continent with a single stomp. If the one who raised this proposal was a Grand Magus, not only would there be no problem in getting it passed, there would be countless people who would study the profound meaning for the Grand Magus proposing this. As for the final result, it would be hard to imagine.”

Xu Yi was stunned listening to this, as he thought that a Grand Magus was a bit too strong.

According to this, their influence was even stronger than the world leaders back on earth.

Seeing Xu Yi’s expression, Great Magician Camilla gave a cold laugh, “How about it, kid? Do you know now how necessary it is to become a powerful magician? I won’t mention a Grand Magus which is something impossible to obtain, if you were to become an Arch Magus who is stronger than me, at least in the Lampuri Kingdom, your guarantee would be even more useful than his majesty the king. Although your proposal wasn’t accepted by the Magicians Guild, I can dare to guarantee that the royal family would do all they can to support you. How about it? Are you moved? Do you have any desire to become a powerful magician?”

Xu Yi was stunned for a bit before he suddenly waved his hand, causing a dark red fireball to fly out from the center of his hand at Great Magician Camilla.

Great Magician Camilla was surprised as his brows popped up. A bright light blue barrier appeared in front of him.
