Chapter 112 For the People in My Hometown

Xu Yi and Camilla were taken aback at the same time.

The great magician Camilla gave the big magician Truchi a weird look, and couldn't help but chuckled: "Hey, Truucci, I always thought you were the one who faced gold coins among us old guys. The least important thing is that you have changed so much now, and you are even more greedy than me! Don't you think ten thousand gold coins a year is not enough? How much do you want?"

Seeing the embarrassing and ashamed expression on the great magician Truchi's face, Xu Yi shook his head slightly at the great magician Camilla, then turned his head and said to the great magician Truchi in a very calm tone: "I'm afraid I can only Sorry. The salary of our chamber of commerce is established by strict rules and regulations, and cannot be added at will. And you have just joined our chamber of commerce. If your salary exceeds that of great magician Camilla, it would be unreasonable."

The great magician Truchi sighed and nodded: "I understand. This is because I am greedy."

The great magician Camilla frowned and said, "I said Truchi, what kind of difficulties are you encountering? Is it just so short of money?".

"It's hard to say." The great magician Truchi shook his head and stood up. "In short, 10,000 gold coins a year may not be enough. Since Xu Yi, you can't promise me a higher salary, then I can only find another way." It takes a lot of gold coins to solve it, I think I am capable of helping you. Why don't you tell me about the difficulties you encounter, and let me think about how to help you?" Xu Yi said sincerely.

"It's useless." The great magician Truchi sighed. "That place is basically a bottomless pit. I can't keep borrowing money from you, can I? It's a lot of words and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it."

"That's not necessarily the case. If you join the magic research institute of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you only need to research good enough magic mechanical technology in the future. The bonus will definitely not be small." Xu Yi smiled.

"No matter how much the bonus is, can I earn at least 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins a year?". The great magician Truchi gave a wry smile.

"Forty or fifty thousand gold coins?"

Xu Yi frowned, exchanged glances with the great magician Camilla, pondered for a moment, and said to the great magician Truchi seriously: "Your Excellency, great magician, if you encounter financial difficulties, you need to invest four or five dollars a year. For ten thousand gold coins, I think you should sit down and talk to me about this matter in detail. I may not have much ability in other places. But when it comes to making money... I don’t think the magicians in the entire Kingdom of Lampari have any People can compare to me, right? There are quite a few words that even the great magician Esenka can't do." The great magician Truchi glanced at the great magician Camilla, then looked at Xu Yi, thought for a while, and re- Sit back.

"Xu Yi, I suddenly remembered. It seems that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been investing in various parts of the kingdom during this time?".

"That's right." Xu Yi nodded, a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to care about these things."

"No way. I've been thinking about how to make money all this time." The great magician Truchi laughed at himself. "Xu Yi, if I invite you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to invest in a place, can you promise to help the people here earn at least 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins every year?"

Xu Yi frowned: "It depends on what place you are talking about. If it is a desert where there is nothing in the first place, then no matter how capable I am, I am afraid I will be powerless."...

The great magician Truchi smiled bitterly: "That's right, the place I mentioned is similar to a desert. Karaska Island, have you heard of it?".

"Karaska Island?" Xu Yi thought for a while. "It seems to be an island not far from the west coast of the Black Rice Wilderness? It is said to be rich in pirates?"

"Prosperous pirates?" The great magician Truchi continued to smile wryly. "Although I really want to praise Xu Yi, you are very knowledgeable and know Karaska Island, but you said that it is rich in pirates... Well, in fact, this can't be wrong. Who made the living conditions on the island so bad, it's inappropriate With pirates, many people would not be able to survive at all.”

Xu Yi and the great magician Camilla looked at the big magician Truchi with strange expressions. Why did he suddenly mention this Karaska Island? Does he have any connection with this island famous for pirates?

"Don't guess, I was born and raised on Karaska Island."

Xu Yi and Camilla were taken aback at the same time.

No matter what, they never expected that the great magician Truchi was born on this island of pirates!

Xu Yi looked at Archmage Camilla, who shook his head.

"Don't look at me, although I and Truchi are old friends, but I have never heard him mention my life experience."

"It's not an honor to be born on Karaska Island. Of course I don't want to mention it casually." The great magician Truchi sighed. "If I didn't have expectations for you, Xu Yi, I wouldn't tell you this either."

"Thank you for your trust." Xu Yi thought for a while, and then asked: "Then Your Excellency the Great Magician, do you want to earn at least 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins a year, is it to change the lives of people in your hometown by yourself? condition?"

Grand Magician Truchi looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "You guessed it?"

"It's not hard to guess. If it wasn't for this reason, I can't think of any reason why a great magician like you would be so troubled." Xu Yi laughed.

"Well, you guessed it right. Karaska Island is my hometown, but the living environment on the island is really bad. I grew up on it, and later learned magic by coincidence, and finally even became an adult. As a magician, I have always wanted to rely on my own strength to change the lives of those people in my hometown, so I have been supporting them all these years. But... now I can't hold on anymore."

"No wonder you have always been poorer than me..." the great magician Camilla muttered. "I said Truchi, since the living environment on Karaska Island is so bad, then you can let them move out. In your capacity, it is no problem to ask the Kingdom Council for some kingdom resident qualifications? Quite a few Character"

"No, it's very problematic." The wry smile on the face of Grand Magician Truchi never stopped. "I once thought that the Kingdom Council made this request, but it was rejected by the Kingdom Council. Do you know the reason?".

"Because of pirates?" The great magician Camilla guessed.

"Yes." The smile on the face of Grand Magician Truchi was even more bitter. "Although I refute the reasons given by the Kingdom Council, there is nothing I can do. In fact, from an objective point of view, it is not wrong for Karaska Island to be called the Island of Pirates. If I hadn't left that place by learning magic back then Zojima might become a pirate now too..."

"Is it a pirate at the level of a great magician?".

Xu Yi looked at the great magician Truchi with a strange expression, and then returned to his normal expression.

"Your Excellency the Great Mage, based on what you said, I think your initial thought should be to rely on yourself to earn forty to fifty thousand gold coins a year to support the people on the island and improve their lives, right?"

"Yes, that's my plan. The total population of the island is close to 5,000 people. In fact, even 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins are not enough. However, the island can still be self-sufficient to some extent, so it is barely enough. Enough. In fact, I just hope that after they can have a stable life, they will stop being pirates. In this way, after a few years, I can apply to the Kingdom Council again to relocate them to our Lampari Kingdom. "...

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, sighed, shook his head lightly and said, "Your Excellency, Great Mage, I have to say, your idea is really...too naive."

The great magician Truchi stared at him immediately, and the great magician Camilla also looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

This kid, dare to say that a great magician is too naive? I just don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!

"Your Excellency the great magician, people's greed is endless. I'm sure that even if you earn so much money to support them, they will always want a better life. Then even if you get what you give them money, they will also become pirates because they think it will make their lives better.”

The great magician Truchi looked sad: "How could I not know this truth, but I always feel that it's just that I haven't helped them enough. If they can have a stable and prosperous life, who would be willing to risk their lives?" Pirates with a bad reputation."

Xu Yi couldn't help but sighed and shook his head slightly.

Perhaps the great magician Truchi is not naive and stupid, but that he has too much affection for the island of Karaska where he was born.

Xu also couldn't understand the price he paid for this relationship, but it didn't affect his understanding of Truchi's thoughts.

"Okay, Your Excellency the Great Mage, I understand what you mean. But I must remind you that even if you can really subsidize them with 40,000, 50,000 or even 100,000 gold coins a year, it still won't help. For the island of Karaska with thousands of people, such a few gold coins can't change anything at all." Xu Yi said seriously.

"I just want to do my best." Grand Magician Truchi sighed.

"There are many ways to do your best. To put it bluntly, you chose the most inefficient way." Xu Yi said. "If I had to choose, I would definitely use another method."

The great magician Truchi's eyes lit up: "So, Xu Yi, do you have any good ways to solve this problem?".

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Of course."
