Volume 2 Chapter 97 - Persuasive advertisement (1/2)

“What? You don’t understand why I closed the Magic Tower?” Great Magician Camilla looked at the two anxious people in front of him with a smile as he asked this.

Xu Yi and Still shook their heads at the same time.

“Of course we don’t understand!” Still grabbed Great Magician Camilla’s arm with a worried face, “Grandfather, didn’t you say that your Magic Tower came from your lifetime of work? Didn’t you want to focus on studying magic and become an Arch Magus or even a Great Magus? Why are you suddenly shutting it down? Could it be that you’re giving up on studying magic?”

“Who says I’m giving up on studying magic?” Great Magician Camilla looked at her.

“Then why did you close the Magic Tower?” Still asked in a confused voice, “You worked hard to establish this Magic Tower, how will you study magic if you close it?”

Great Magician Camilla shook his head. He reached out to pat Still’s head as he said with a smile, “Still, your understanding of magic is too shallow. Did anyone say you have to study magic in a Magic Tower? For example, isn’t it the same at that magic research facility of Xu Yi’s?”

Xu Yi and Still were stunned at the same time. Xu Yi couldn’t help asking, “Your excellency Great Magician, it can’t be that you’re planning to study magic at the magic research facility, right?”

Great Magician Camilla glared at him, “What? I’m not welcome?”

Xu Yi almost choked as he looked at Great Magician Camilla with a look of disbelief.

“You….Are you kidding? The magic research facility is…..is a place that researches Magic Arrays for magic machines. If you come…..”

“I want to study Magic Arrays used in magic machines, can I not do that?” Great Magician Camilla asked Xu Yi.

“This……”

Xu Yi and Still looked at each other, thinking that this was a bit unbelievable.

Just last year, Great Magician Camilla had abhorred mixing magic with business, even going as far as scolding Xu Yi several times.

Although since the start of this year, Great Magician Camilla’s attitude had changed a bit and he started to agree to Xu Yi’s requests, working with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and helping them research Magic Arrays for magic machines. Even going as far as having the magicians of the Magic Tower help with the research, which helped Xu Yi solve quite a few problems.

This was just Great Magician Camilla helping when he had free time between experiments, which was completely different from him joining the magic research facility.

“Grandfather, are you serious?” Still asked in a surprised voice, “You’re really planning to work at the magic research facility?”

“Un.” Great Magician Camilla gave an earnest nod, not looking like he was joking at all. He said to Xu Yi, “Hey, kid, are you welcoming me or not?”

“Ah? Of course…..Of course you’re welcome!” Seeing that Great Magician Camilla was being honest, Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised. He kept nodding as he said, “Your excellency Great Magician, if you’re willing to join our magic research facility, it would be our honour and our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s honour! But your excellency Great Magician, I still don’t understand, why are you suddenly doing this? Could it be that you closed the Magic Tower because of this decision?”

Still looked at Great Magician Camilla with eyes filled with doubt.

Seeing their confused looks, Great Magician Camilla knew that if he didn’t explain it, these two fellows wouldn’t let him go. He pointed to stools on the side, signaling that they would sit and talk.

“Where to start……” When the three say down, Great Magician Camilla fell into thought for a bit before suddenly asking Still, “Still, how long have you been to our old home?”

“Old home?” Still was stunned. She thought for a bit before replying, “It seems to be three months ago…...Oh, no, it’s close to four months now. What about it? Grandfather, you suddenly mentioned our old home, do you want me to go back with you? Alright, it’s just outside the city and it isn’t far at all, we can go whenever you want.”

“I didn’t mean that.” Great Magician Camilla shook his head, “Let me ask you, last time you went back, did you notice anything that had changed?”

“Changes with the old home?” Still slightly knit her brows and carefully thought for a bit before answering in a confused voice, “There weren’t any changes…..Oh! If I had to mention a change, does the cousin from second aunt’s house having a son count?”

“Although it counts…..But I’m not talking about this.” Great Magician Camilla slowly shook his head, “If you go back now, you’ll find that the old home is completely different from before.”

“Completely different? Is it that exaggerated?” Still was a bit surprised, “Mildan Village has had the same appearance since I was young, it has never really changed.”

“That is because you haven’t taken a look since going back and haven’t really asked about it.” Great Magician Camilla turned to look at Xu Yi, “Actually, there is a large change with Mildan Village right now and the reason why there are those changes is because of this kid.”

“Because of Xu Yi?” Still looked over at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi knit his brows to think before suddenly revealing a look of understanding.
