Volume 4 Chapter 151 - Production is key (1/2)

Xu Yi instantly felt the mix of Wind and Fire Magic that came from the bottom of the Magic Sedan.

The entire Magic Sedan flew into the air and grazed past the top of the heads of the pedestrians. Those scared witless pedestrians were thrown behind them and it became a shooting star that flew over Anvilmar City.

Xu Yi looked back at Anvilmar City that was getting further away and let out a sigh of relief. Then he turned and seriously looked at Great Magician Eisenkel, “Your excellency Great Magician, no matter what how you want to experiment, you should worry about the safety of the innocent people first.”

Great Magician Eisenkel turned to look at Xu Yi with an interested look.

“Chairman Xu, it seems like you’re not used to being a famous person.”

Xu Yi’s face sunk, “This is unrelated to being a famous person, even if it was her majesty Seveni, she wouldn’t joke with the lives of others.”

Great Magician Eisenkel shook his head before saying with a smile, “Relax, if it wasn’t something that I was certain about, you think that I would do this in such a crowded place?”

“Even if you’re confident, accidents will always happen. Especially if you use this magic machine that isn’t mature yet and was randomly put together.”

Because he was angered by Great Magician Eisenkel’s actions, Xu Yi’s tone was ice cold and quite rude.

Great Magician Eisenkel seemed almost surprised by Xu Yi’s tone. After pausing, he didn’t keep going with this matter and asked, “You think it’s immature? What part are you talking about?”

“Many different places.” Xu Yi said, “First, there is a large mistake with the design. Your excellency Great Magician, I think that for the flying Magic Array that you’ve inlaid on this Magic Sedan, it should be using Wind Magic as the propelling force to create a flight ability. This should have been inspired by our company’s Magic Airships, right?”

“That’s not completely true.” Great Magician Eisenkel shook his head, “Other than your company’s Magic Airships, I’ve stumbled across some magic flying machines in some ancient records. Way before your company invented the Magic Airship, there were magicians that were using magic to create flying machines. And in this aspect, the research of the elves was more thorough. According to the records, more than three thousand years ago, during the race wars, the elves even had a giant magic powered battleship that could fire powerful attacks. They were much stronger than your Magic Airships.”

“Then your excellency Great Magician, how many of these magic battleships did you think the elves had?” Xu Yi asked back.

Great Magician Eisenkel was a bit surprised and after thinking about it, he shook his head.

“There was only one in the records, but I think that with the power of the elves that ruled the continent then, they wouldn’t have had just one magic battleship.”

“Is that so?” Xu Yi revealed a smile, “Even if they didn’t just have one, it wouldn’t be much more, right? Although our comp[any’s Magic Airships can’t compare to the magic battleships of the elves, as long as there are enough materials, our company can produce several dozen of them a year. It isn’t worse than the magic battleships.”

Great Magician Eisenkel took a deep look at Xu Yi before waving his hand, “Let’s get back to the topic from before. Chairman Xu, you feel that my Magic Flying Car isn’t mature, it can’t compare to your company’s Magic Airships?”

“If it is in terms of flying, yes.” Xu Yi gave a certain nod.

Great Magician Eisenkel was a bit unconvinced.

“Why can’t it compare? My Magic Flying Car isn’t slower than when it is on the ground. With the Fire Magic and Wind Magic Array that I’ve added, it can even move at over eighty kilometers an hour. How can it not compare to your company’s Magic Airships?”

Xu Yi raised his finger and shook it before saying with a faint smile, “Your excellency Great Magician, speed isn’t everything. Even if your Magic Flying Car does move very quickly, being able to both fly and drive on land, there is a very serious problem with it.”

“What is it?”

“That’s cost.” Xu Yi said with a serious look, “Your excellency Great Magician, do you know why the elves only had one magic battleship in history? Although I’m not certain whether the elves only had one, they definitely wouldn’t have that many of them and the reason is because of cost. According to various descriptions in records, I estimate that this magic battleship wouldn’t cost less than a million gold coins. Even if the elves ruled the continent then, it was impossible for them to make that many of them.”

Great Magician Eisenkel didn’t refute Xu Yi this time, rather he fell silent.

Because he knew that Xu Yi had pointed out the issue that he was worried about the most.

That’s right, although this Magic Flying Car was outstanding performance, he could even proudly show off in front of Xu Yi and that he wanted to discuss a deeper cooperation with him.

He was very clear that to develop this Magic Flying Car, he had invested over two hundred thousand gold coins. This is more than ten times the eight thousand gold coins it cost to build a single Magic Airship.

“Isn’t it just……”

“It’s impossible to mass produce.” Xu Yi directly cut Great Magician Eisenkel off.

Great Magician Eisenkel knit his brows, “Chairman Xu, you still don’t know everything about the Magic Flying Car, why do you say mass production is impossible?”

“I don’t need to know that much.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Your excellency Great Magician, this Magic Flying Car is clearly using similar Magic Arrays to our company’s Magic Airships to fly. As for the level of Magic Array it is using, it is much higher than the Magic Array of our Magic Airships.”

“Of course, the Magic Arrays were specially carved onto them by me personally, it’s at the level of an Eighth Grade Magic Array.” Great Magician Eisenkel said in a proud voice.

“That is the problem.” Xu Yi said, “Our company’s Magic Airships use the same model, so even a Third Grade Magician can carve the Magic Array onto the Magic Airship once they are skilled enough. As for the Magic Array on your Magic Flying Car, it is too high level and too complicated, it is impossible for low grade magicians to grasp and carve it.”

Great Magician Eisenkel fell silent once again.
