Volume 2 Chapter 63 - Miniature Magic Array (1/2)
In this recent time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s frequency in developing new products gradually increased, so they needed more and more kinds of Magic Arrays.
Even if the magic research facility’s staff increased, Evita’s school mates were at the same level of magic as Evita and Akali, so they couldn’t meet the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s requirements.
So compared to before, the Camilla Magic Tower received more and more research projects.
Accordingly, the Camilla Magic Tower received more and more funding from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
In just half a year, Xu Yi had already given the Camilla Magic Tower over three thousand gold coins in research funds.
Just based on this, it surpassed the Magic Tower’s income from all of last year.
With enough funds, Great Magician Camilla finally realized the benefits of having money and he realized something important. While helping the Frestech Chamber of Commerce develop magic machines, most of the time he was studying Magic Arrays which still belonged to the field of magic. Not only did this not delay his important magic research, but because of Xu Yi’s requirements towards Magic Arrays, Great Magician Camilla came to many new understandings and developed new knowledge towards magic. This without a doubt had increased Great Magician Camilla’s level of magic.
Being able to earn money and raise the level of his magic, Great Magician Camilla no longer rejected participating in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s research. Rather he became more positive and whenever he saw Xu Yi, he would take the initiative to question him.
“Hey, kid, do you have a new project this time?”
As long as it was someone who had been in contact with Xu Yi for a while, they would unknowingly learn a few new terms from him. Even Great Magician Camilla was not an exception.
Xu Yi shook his head, “Not right now, but your excellency Great Magician, I want to ask you, has there been any progress with the miniature Magic Array that I’ve asked you about last time? Our company needs this technology right now, so if you have had any success, we can use it in many different kinds of magic machines.”
Great Magician Camilla knit his brows, “There is progress, but…..we can’t achieve the results you want.”
Xu Yi was surprised, “There’s progress? It’s good that there’s progress. Come, your excellency Great Magician, what is the specific progress you’ve made?”
“Actually it isn’t that much progress. I just picked a few Magic Arrays to make smaller and have succeeded a few times. The smallest ones were no more than ten centimeters and the largest one is no more than twenty centimeters, but it’s far from the one centimeters that you mentioned……” Great Magician Camilla knit his brows, “Xu Yi, this really is too difficult. You are also a magician and might even have a stronger understanding of Magic Arrays than me, so you should be clear that there is a high requirement for drawing Magic Arrays. Not mentioning making the Magic Array smaller, when it starts, the array lines will tremble intensely with magic power. It is hard to make the Magic Array keep its form, not to mention that you want it to be as strong as a large Magic Array, this is simply impossible.”
Xu Yi said with a laugh, “If it wasn’t difficult, how could we have your excellency personally do this? Isn’t it because you are a powerful magician, I wouldn’t let the others research this.”
Great Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi, “There’s no use in flattering me, this research is too difficult, I don’t know when I’ll finish it if I do it alone. Didn’t you make some agreement with Great Magician Eisenkel last time? If you’re in a rush, why don’t you have him help with the research? He isn’t just a Great Magician with the same level of magic as me, he has more connections and knows quite a few powerful magicians. If he joins in, I feel this research will be finished much faster.”
“Great Magician Eisenkel…..” Xu Yi hesitated a bit, not voicing the concern in his heart. Rather he asked, “Speaking of him, I suddenly thought of something. Last time he came, didn’t he say that the Magicians Guild is currently discussing the magic patent? Now it’s been this long, what were the results?”
Great Magician Camilla gave a cold snort, “It’s a real pity, but the efficiency of the guild’s leaders is worse than you imagined. They’ve already discussed it for several months and the results haven’t come, I really can’t keep watching. But the good news is that the last guild periodic began to discuss the matter of the patent. Based on this trend, the guild should have made their decision to pass this. As for specifically when they’ll pass it, I don’t know.”
“It’s good that it can pass, that way we can boldly conduct our research and not have to worry that our hard to obtain results will be taken by others.” Xu Yi said with a satisfied nod.
Great Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi and suddenly asked, “Kid, when you say ‘others’, are you talking about Great Magician Eisenkel?”
Xu Yi laughed without denying or confirming it.
