Volume 3 Chapter 137 - Slime Magic Crystal (1/2)

The kingdom’s north entering December was naturally much colder than Banta City in the south.

Especially with the breeze blowing across the river, making one feel a chill entering their hearts.

Even if Xu Yi was prepared, wearing very thick clothes, he still couldn’t keep out the cold. He had to use a bit of magic to maintain a miniature Fire Magic Array under him and Count Sean, keeping the temperature around them at an acceptable degree.

Feeling the temperature rising, Count Sean looked at the red glowing Magic Array that was under Xu Yi’s feet.

Even if Count Sean wasn’t a magician, he could still tell that it required a high level of magic to maintain such a Magic Array.

“Xu Yi, I haven’t seen you in a year and your magic power is much stronger. Before you came, you should have participated in the qualification exam in Anvilmar City, right? How is it? What grade are you now?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “I just passed the Eighth Grade exam, I’m not that strong.”

“An Eighth Grade Magician isn’t strong?” Count Sean couldn’t help shaking his head, “Then what kind of magician is considered strong to you?”

“To me, I feel that no matter how strong a magician is, he can’t be considered strong since he is just a single person.” Xu Yi said, “Compared to a single person’s strength, I think it is also better to use industrial production to increase one’s strength.”

Count Sean couldn’t help laughing, “This fellow, you really are a merchant and not a magician. You only think this way because you haven’t experienced how strong really powerful magicians are. If you experience the power of an Arch Magus or a Great Magus, I think that your thoughts would definitely change.”

“Oh? Lord City Lord, have you witnessed the power of an Arch Magus or a Great Magus before?” Xu Yi asked in a curious voice.

Count Sean looked to the east and his eyes were a bit lost.

“Back then, I witnessed a battle between the Candra and the Marlow Empires. There were a total of four Arch Magi. In that battle, as long as an Arch Magus made a move, a powerful Forbidden Spell would destroy an area and even change the colour of the sky, shaking the ground. Even when facing thousands of soldiers, for the powerful Arch Magus, it was just a matter of waving their hands. Even remembering it now, my heart is still filled with shock.”

“Arch Magi are that powerful?” Xu Yi thought of the scene Count Sean described. If an Arch Magus could destroy thousands of soldiers with a wave of the hand, it was no wonder the people of the continent worshipped them, “Then what about Great Magi? How much stronger are they?”

“I haven’t been lucky enough to see a Great Magus make a move and there hasn’t been one on the Sines Continent in many years.” Count Sean shook his head, “But according to legends, Great Magi are several times stronger than Arch Magi. It’s said that as long as a Great Magus makes a move, he can even flatten an entire city.”

Xu Yi looked at Sowell City in the distance. Sowell City could be considered one of the biggest cities in the north, but compared to the real cities on earth, it was countless times smaller. It only took an area of less than ten square kilometers.

The most terrifying weapon on earth, the nuclear bomb could even destroy a large city on earth.

This meant that although Great Magi were powerful, they couldn’t compare to a nuclear bomb in destructive might.

Seeing that Xu Yi wasn’t convinced, Count Sean was a bit confused.

Xu Yi himself was considered a magician with decent talent and he was already an Eighth Grade Magician, so he could be considered one of the higher ranked magicians. But why did he not care about his magic power and even disdained it?

But Count Sean didn’t care about this. Seeing that Xu Yi was interested in this topic, he transitioned into discussing proper business with Xu Yi.

“Do you see that side of the river?” Count Sean pointed at the open space by the river and drew a large circle with his arm, “This is the place that I’ve put aside for your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s production base, what do you think?”

Xu Yi looked it over and gave a satisfied nod.

“Very good. The Lord City Lord had experience with this in Banta City, so you chose a very suitable place for us and I don’t have any opinions, but there is still a small problem…..”

“Oh? What problem?”

“Look, Sowell City is this cold and this Sera River is completely frozen during the winter. Even if we build the production base by the river, we won’t be able to use it, so it is a bit wasteful.”

“There’s no other way, this is the north, it’s different from the weather in the south. Naturally it can’t compare in terms of natural conditions.” Count Sean said in a helpless voice, “But your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory’s production won’t be affected by the weather, so there should be no problem.”

“Un, there shouldn’t be any influence, but there are some small details that I need to discuss with my staff here.”

Xu Yi was about to wave to his staff that had come to investigate this area when Camby suddenly ran over.

“Chairman, I found something strange. Come take a look.” Camby indeed at Count Sean before giving Xu Yi a blood red crystal that was actually letting out steam in this cold weather.
