Volume 7 Chapter 18 - Absolute Dominance (1/2)

“Chairman Xu, our Magicians Guild came up with the magician ranking one thousand and three hundred years ago. After one thousand and three hundred years of accumulation, we have much experience and powerful preparations, so I feel that if we work together to carry out assessing the magic machine industry skills of magicians, it would save quite a bit of effort. Don’t you think so?” Great Magician Ferguson said with a serious look.

Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “Great Magician Fergsuon, I think that you’ve gotten something wrong? The magic machine industry skill evaluation is mainly evaluated the skills that the magicians have grasped related to magic machines, so this evaluation is completely different from the magician ranking evaluation that the Magicians Guild gives.”

“But isn’t it related to the level of magic that these magicians have grasped?” Great Magician Ferguson refuted, “Chairman Xu, you have to believe that our Magicians Guild has over a thousand years of experience with this, so we’re very experienced with evaluating things related to magic, with detailed divisions. If we work together, I can guarantee that you will have the most precise measurements right away, so you won’t have to slowly figure it out.”

“Un, I agree that the Magicians Guild is specialized in magic, but its knowledge with magic machines isn’t as good, right?” Xu Yi picked up a document from the table which he gave Great Magician Ferguson, “This is a study on how a Magic Array works with thirteen different kinds of steel alloys, it’s used by us to determine the proficiency of the Magic Array drawn. I think that……not only Great Magician Ferguson, there wouldn’t be that many people in the Magicians Guild headquarters who would understand this.”

“You’re saying that we wouldn’t understand?” Great Magician Ferguson slightly knitted his brows as his expression became a bit ugly.

Although he didn’t have any experience with researching magic machines, as a Great Magician, how could he not understand something that was related to Magic Arrays?

He wasn’t convinced as he took this document and carefully looked it over.

However, after just seeing the first page, the look of anger and unwillingness on his face turned to confusion.

When he finished reading the document that wasn’t that thick, his face was completely covered in a stunned look.

“This……” Great Magician Ferguson held the document in his hand, not knowing what to say.

He had to admit that he really couldn’t understand this document.

Not to mention the strange terms like steel alloy model, toughness, magic conductivity, magic resistance, and other terms that he couldn’t understand at all, even the effects and the principle behind the Magic Array that he should have known was something that he couldn’t understand.

This simply far surpassed his expectations.

“The Magicians Guild headquarters being willing to change and cooperate with our company is a good thing which I welcome.” Seeing the expression on Great Magician Ferguson’s face, Xu Yi said with a faint smile, “But Great Magician Ferguson, please tell the other people at the Magicians Guild headquarters that although magic is related to the magic machine industry, it’s a whole new domain. If you can’t put down your pride to properly study it, do not think that you can casually enter it.”

Xu Yi’s words didn’t hold back at all, but while Great Magician Ferguson’s face turned white and blue, he couldn’t say a thing to refute this.

Even a Great Magician like him couldn’t understand this normal looking research report. There was no need to mention those other magicians who looked down on the magic machine industry back at the Magicians Guild headquarters.

Of course, he couldn’t easily give up on his task. After thinking about it, he said, “Alright, chairman Xu, I admit that we don’t have enough understanding of magic machines, but I think that there is still some possibility of us cooperating. At the very least, our Magicians Guild has a complete magician grading evaluation system, so if you borrow our people for the magic machine industry skill assessment, it can save you quite a bit of manpower and funds, as well as time.”

“Yes, I won’t deny this.” Xu Yi nodded, “But I still have to say the same thing. It’s fine to cooperate, but you have to lower your attitude and properly learn about the magic machine industry before coming back. Other than this, even if we cooperate, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce needs to be in absolute control. Can you agree to this?”

“This……” Great Magician Ferguson hesitated once again.

Before this, why did the Magicians Guild have such a high prestige on the continent?

Other than having a long history, the most important thing was that the Magicians Guild controlled the magician ranking evaluation, so they obtained the approval of all the countries.

So if a magician wanted to stand out, they needed to go to the Magicians Guild and receive a ranking first.

Like this, it was equal to the Magicians Guild controlling the lives of all the magicians on the continent, so they had to listen to the Magicians Guild.

The Magicians Guild was so hostile towards the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, not even hesitating to break all relations with them because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce leading the magic machine industry. They were trying to establish themselves as a separate entity from the Magicians Guild evaluations.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce doing this was digging out the foundation of the Magicians Guild, so how could the Magicians Guild ignore this?

However, the Magicians Guild failed in all their actions against the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, even failing when they sent Arch Magi to attack the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so they had lost the ability to compete with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
