Volume 7 Chapter 20 - True Value (1/2)

After sending off Great Magician Ferguson, Xu Yi looked at the small book that Great Magician Ferguson had left on the table. After a bit of silence, he couldn’t help breaking out in happy laughter.

Those old fools at the Magicians Guild headquarters, they didn’t know what kind of value the things in this small book had hidden.

If they knew the true value of these things and that they sold it to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for such a low price, their intestines would turn green from regret.

Of course, this couldn’t be blamed on them. After all, they didn’t have the modern knowledge that Xu Yi had from earth, so it wasn’t strange that they didn’t understand this.

These fellows thought that the Magic Battleship was the most valuable thing in this small book, but to Xu Yi, it was the lowest value item out of all five things in the small book.

Compared to this, every single one of the other four items had magic theories that Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce urgently needed.

For example, in the first description. That Great Magician had caused a large explosion when he put Fire Elemental Magic Energy into the Magic Crystal, which almost killed a Great Magician.

But if one looked at it from another angle, whether it was normal Fire Magic or a normal situation where the magic inside a Magic Crystal lost control, they wouldn’t be able to harm a magician of the Great Magician rank.

But when the two were combined together, they had such a terrifying effect.

This proved that after Fire Elemental Magic was put into a Magic Crystal, it would have a powerful might that surpassed the norm.

If this energy could be properly guided, it would be a very promising channel of energy.

Most of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic machines mainly used Fire or Wind Magic Arrays.

In the beginning, this wasn’t a problem.

But as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce developed more and more magic machines, making them bigger and bigger, there was more demand for power.

Take the Magic Sedan and the Magic Airship. The max speed of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Sedan and Magic Airship were one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour and two hundred kilometers an hour respectively, but it had been a year since that had been improved on.

The main reason for this was that the core of the Magic Sedan and the Magic Airship, the Magic Array, was already being limited.

Because for a normal Magic Array, whether it was fire attributed or wind attributed, the amount of power that it could produce was limited by the grade of the Magic Array. The higher the grade, the more power released.

If the grade of the Magic Array was increased too much, there would be problems. The magicians that were responsible for drawing the Magic Arrays wouldn’t be able to do so because this grade of Magic Array surpassed their level of magic by too much.

So considering this, when the magic research facility develops magic arrays, they would try to control the grade of the Magic Array as much as possible. They would try to make it as easy as possible for the lower grade magicians to draw these Magic Arrays.

At the same time, the magic research facility was trying to increase the output of these low grade Magic Arrays, making it so that they could replicate the effects of higher grade Magic Arrays.

But this research was very difficult because there had been ten thousand years of history on the Sines Continent, it was impossible for such a large loophole in the grades of Magic Arrays to appear.

With the failure of this Great Magician, Xu Yi came up with a new idea. It was to let the Magic Array and the Magic Crystal work together to strengthen each other. If they could come together, increasing the output of the Magic Array, it would allow them to achieve their demand for higher energy output.

If the Magicians Guild gave the data from this Great Magicians failure to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it would without a doubt greatly help the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s research.

As for the second example, which was the wind attributed magician using a whirlwind to boost his own flying speed, this was in line with Xu Yi’s idea of using a jet to increase the speed of the Magic Airship.

Only this research was even more difficult because there had been no research into this strange flight magic before.

If he could obtain the date from this magician, it would greatly help the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s research in this field, which might give them a breakthrough in the speed of the Magic Airship.

As for the other two things in the book, they had an even greater value.

This Magic Array that combined the four elements seemed like a concept, but if there were enough materials in the Magicians Guild headquarters, this idea could be proven to work. This would greatly help the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in their research on Magic Array energy output.
