Volume 6 Chapter 148 - Public Outrage And Personal Grudge (1/2)

In reality, the news of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce rejecting the two requests of the Magicians Guild wasn’t as exaggerated as being told to over ten million people.

Because although the New Moon Chamber of Commerce hadn’t put Magic Illusion Projectors in all the cities of the southwest countries, even with the population of these people added up, that was less than twenty million.

The New Moon Chamber of Commerce’s Illusion Films would be shown to the citizens of the city, so there was a limited audience. The actual viewing rate according to Xu Yi’s estimates was less than 30%.

That way, the number of people who knew about this was only several million and definitely not up to ten million.

The people who cared about this and could understand the meaning of this piece of news was less than a tenth of these million people, so it was only several hundred thousand people.

But Xu Yi didn’t really care about this. He had used such a strong method to announce this to show that he was going separate ways from the Magicians Guild, firmly showing that he wasn’t willing to accept the unreasonable demands of the Magicians Guild.

For the people who cared about this, they naturally understood what Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wanted to express with this.

Among these people, the most important people to Xu Yi were the Low Grade Magicians of the various countries.

The two requests of the Magicians Guild was first to break up the Magic Machine Patent Protection Union which wasn’t related to most Low Grade Magicians. This was just the Frestech Chamber of Commerce going against the greed of the Magicians Guild.

The other request was to close the Magicians Associations, which could be considered closely related to the Low Grade Magicians in each country.

The Magicians Association was mainly for the Low Grade Magicians and the goal of the Magicians Association was to resist the control of the Magicians Guild over these Low Grade Magicians. It was to let these Low Grade Magicians have a good job, allowing them to have the basic funds to survive and further their magic research.

For the Low Grade Magicians from good family backgrounds, this wasn’t important, but for the rest of the Low Grade Magicians who came from poor family backgrounds that made up 95% of the population, the Magicians Association was protecting what they wanted.

Since the Magicians Association had been formed, in just three months, it had already pulled in twenty thousand Low Grade Magicians. This included over 90% of the magicians in the Lampuri Kingdom, the Rudson Kingdom, the Stantine Duchy, the Drake Duchy, the Mirando Duchy, and the Norton Duchy.

As for the Sack Kingdom, the Falk Kingdom, and the other surrounding countries, the Low Grade Magicians were quickly gathering which allowed the Magicians Association to quickly develop.

Through working with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the other magic machine companies, the Magicians Guild had solved the work problem of over 70% of these magicians in a short amount of time.

Although most of them had to enter a magic machine vocational school before they were able to start working and earn wages, this had already greatly changed their lives.

So compared to the Magicians Guild who didn’t help these Low Grade Magicians and even charged them to take the exam each year, the Magicians Association was without a doubt helping the Low Grade Magicians more.

In this situation, the tens of thousands of Low Grade Magicians expressed their disdain at the two conditions the Magicians Guild headquarters had placed on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

After the Illusion Film was broadcast during the news report, countless Low Grade Magicians in these countries declared that they would be leaving the Magicians Guild, expressing their protest against the Magicians Guild.

However, the Magicians Guild’s reaction was unexpectedly tough.

Half a month after this piece of news was broadcasted, the Magicians Guild had issued a statement through the Magicians Guild branches in each country and their cooperating organizations.

The statement declared that the news broadcast of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce was falsified by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. It was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s plot against the Magicians Guild.

Regarding the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s actions, the Magicians Guild would strongly condemn them and announce that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was now one of the companies the Magicians Guild didn’t welcome.

With this premise, the Magicians Guild requested all the magicians on the continent to resist the Frestech Chamber of Commerce together to warn those magicians working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and leave their jobs, otherwise they will be determined to be working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and wouldn’t enjoy and benefits of the Magicians Guild.
