Volume 6 Chapter 138 - Frestech Chamber Of Commerce Workers (1/2)
Although the High Grade Magicians were the core of the magic research facility, holding the main task of developing magic for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the true core of this large company was actually the Low Grade Magicians.
In the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the division of labour was quite clear. The High Grade Magicians would enter the magic research facility and the Low Grade Magicians that found it hard to break through or were still breaking through would enter at the low level posts. They would draw up the core of the magic machines, the Magic Arrays that powered them.
This work was just as important because without them, the magic machines wouldn’t be able to move at all.
Moreover, although this part seemed simple, it required every person.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had over five thousand magicians workers, with only seven hundred of them working in the magic research facility. The other over four thousand workers were all involved in drawing Magic Arrays.
If they lost these magicians, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce could be considered paralyzed and wouldn’t be able to continue operating.
Moreover, the normal workers could be recruited and replaced, but because of how rare magicians were, there were few to supplement them. So the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t treat these magicians any less important than the workers of the magic research facility.
The Magicians Guild headquarters were targeting the Low Grade Magicians of the Frestech Chamber of commerce, wanting to aim at the strategic part of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so it was quite ruthless.
Many people expected that since the Magicians Guild had spoken, the Low Grade Magicians of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would have scruples and many of them would leave the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would fall into serious chaos.
However, the facts came as a surprise to everyone.
After the Magicians Guild released this announcement, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce acted like they weren’t affected at all and everything was normal.
Not to mention the Low Grade Magicians resigning, there wasn’t even a single piece of news about this.
This situation caused countless people to have doubts.
With the lofty position of the Magicians Guild on the Sines Continent and the prestige of magicians, once they spoke, even the most honoured Arch Magi would respect them. Not to mention these Low Grade Magicians.
Based on what everyone expected, after the Magicians Guild gave their orders, not to mention the Low Grade Magicians all leaving the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, even the High Grade Magicians of the magic research facility should resign as well.
Otherwise, they would be going against the orders of the Magicians Guild.
Having such doubts, some people secretly came to the Stantine Duchy.

With the recent rapid growth of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, their main base had continued to expand.
Xu Yi’s previous private territory had mainly been covered by the industrial district and the living district had been moved out two years ago. There was a new and bigger living district that was built on the east bank of the Abundant River, being separated from the industrial district by the river.
This living district had over a hundred thousand Frestech Chamber of Commerce staff living there. The total area exceeded twenty thousand hectares and it even surpassed countless large cities of the continent.
Compared to Frestech City that was further north, there were more people living here, but they didn’t lack magic machines. The various infrastructures were perfectly built and there were no problems with provisions, as well having sufficient and cheap daily necessities.
It could be considered quite comfortable living here.
Because the people living here were workers for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they held different positions and the living district was divided accordingly.
In the northwest region near the Abundant River, the people mainly living here were the Low Grade Magicians responsible for drawing Magic Arrays.
Compared to the several hundred people of the magic research facility who were work maniacs, spending most of their time at the magic research facility, because the highest among these people were only Third Grade Magicians, they weren’t that strong, so they were no different from normal people. Rather, they quite liked living in this living district.
After getting off work each day, the Low Grade Magicians returned to their homes. A part of them still focused on studying magic, but most of them were quite old and didn’t have any ambition or had a clear understanding of their talent, knowing that they would never progress, so they seized the chance to relax.
At this time, going to the small taverns in this living district was where they went the most.
When night came every day, the Low Grade Magicians would go in groups of two or three to these taverns. They would call some dishes while drinking the wine that came from the dwarves, laughing and chatting after a long day of work.
Although the Rolling Stone Tavern wasn’t the biggest tavern in this district, it was always the one with the most people. It was for nothing else, it was because the boss of this tavern was a dwarf, so the wine sold here was the best.
