Chapter 9 No Frost Circle

Until the end of the meeting, there was no definite conclusion about the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because President Gascoigne only asked Camilla Magister's attitude towards this matter from the beginning to the end, and did not express any attitude towards oneself.

The elders of the other councils have long been used to this situation. Anyway, the chairman will not make a clear statement until the last moment.

What's more, in the eyes of many council elders, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning at all.

Although a distinguished magister was involved in this matter, and Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, was himself a great magician worthy of attention, the object of this matter itself was only those junior and second-level magicians. That's all.

Although such low-level magicians accounted for more than 80% of all magicians in the entire Sains Continent in terms of statistics, in the eyes of these council elders, the sum of them would not be more important than a magister .

Instead of trying to think about them, it's better to think about how to win over the newly promoted Magister Camilla.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if these elementary and second-level magicians can’t get along in the circle of magicians. Every year, there will still be countless people with magical talents joining the ranks. The magicians union doesn’t have to worry about the basic problems of magicians. .

However, after the meeting ended, President Gascoigne left the great magician Ferguson behind, making it clear that he wanted to have a private conversation with him.

The other council elders were not surprised by this, after all, this matter involved Magister Camilla, judging from the attitude of the chairman just now. He should still be very concerned and valued by Magister Camilla.

Leave the great magician Ferguson to talk alone. Presumably, he also wanted to ask more about Camilla Magister.

But when everyone leaves. When only President Gascoigne and the great magician Ferguson were left on the throne of magic, President Gascoigne asked, but the question had nothing to do with Magister Camilla.

"Ferguson, how much do you think Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can earn in a year?"

The great magician Ferguson was startled, thinking how do I know this, this is the secret of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"You don't need to give an exact number, just make an estimate." President Gascoigne added.

"This..." The great magician Ferguson frowned and thought for a long time, but he could only shake his head helplessly. "Master President. I really don't know much about this. But I can be sure that the various magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very popular in several surrounding countries. On my journey from the Maro Empire to the Principality of Standing You can see it everywhere. So I figured...they must be making a lot of money every year."

"Very high? How high? Can it exceed 10 million gold coins?" President Gascoigne continued to ask with great interest.

"Ten million gold coins... I'm not sure, but judging from the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's main base, I don't think it's a big problem. It's even... higher than this number."

"Really? If that's the case, then I'm afraid we should pay more attention to the proposal proposed by Xu Yi." President Gascoigne said with a smile.

"Master President, are you planning to cooperate with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"I originally planned to cooperate with them, the only difference lies in the degree of cooperation." President Gascoigne paused and said: "I just thought that since this Xu Yi himself is a great magician, then he should I would be very willing to cooperate with the Mage Union, so I thought about giving the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a name. Let him help us solve some difficulties. But after reading your report now, I have some different ideas."

The eyes of the great magician Ferguson lit up: "Master President. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

President Gascoigne glanced at the great magician Ferguson, with a half-smile on his face.

"When it comes to magic tools, it is clear that our Magician's Guild's background in this area is far beyond the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make so much money through those simple magic tools, and our Magician's Guild However, while investing a lot of money in the research of these magic tools, they did not get even a single gold coin from them. This is very worthwhile for us to fight against."

The great magician Ferguson looked at President Gascoigne in surprise, thinking that the meaning of the words of the President is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is too high.

The Magician's Guild has not been able to make money from magic tools for thousands of years, but a small chamber like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can do it. Doesn't this mean that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is stronger than the Magician's Guild?

"About the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I remember that a few years ago, the Magician Union Branch of the Kingdom of Lampali submitted a proposal on magic patents, which was passed after our research. After that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should apply to the union headquarters There are a lot of magic trains, right?"

Before going to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for investigation, the great magician Ferguson had a little understanding of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Of course he knew about it, and nodded after hearing the words: "Yes. At present, the union headquarters' applications for magic patents total There are already more than 130,000 types, of which the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone has applied for more than 70,000."

Speaking of this, the great magician Ferguson couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"I really don't understand how such a small Chamber of Commerce can come up with so many novelties in magic research, with more than 70,000 magic patents, and even a complete list of elemental magic."

"Since they are willing to apply for so many magic patents from the union headquarters, it proves that they are still willing to accept the leadership of the union. Since this is the case, it will be easy." President Gascoigne pondered for a moment and continued: "Ferguson, I have to trouble you to go to the Principality of Standing again."

The great magician Ferguson was not surprised: "Please show me the president."

"It's just the president, how should I express my position to Xu Yi this time?"

"You don't need to express your position specifically." President Gascoigne showed a confident smile. "You just need to tell him that the union headquarters are willing to cooperate with him, but they also need the sincerity of cooperation from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I think this Xu Yi will definitely know what to do."

The great magician Ferguson immediately understood. Nod your head in response.

After leaving the magic seat. Ferguson flew directly into the city of the sky. After identifying the direction, he walked towards the most prosperous commercial street in Sky City.

He was about to go to the Principality of Standing again soon, and he had to make some preparations for the journey on the road.

Although the Sky City is a city of magicians, it does not mean that there are only magicians in this city.

Although this is indeed the place with the highest density of magicians on the entire continent, magicians are still human beings and have normal living needs, so there is not much difference between Sky City and other cities on the mainland. Area.

The commercial street that Great Magician Ferguson went to is located in the southwest of Sky City. It is the most prosperous street in Sky City, and it is also the street with the most breath of life for ordinary people.

As long as you have money, you can buy almost all daily necessities on this street.

The great magician Ferguson had just stepped into the commercial street and was about to go to the grocery store he frequented most when he saw a group of people crowding together on the street ahead, making extremely noisy sounds from inside.

"What happened?" The great magician Ferguson frowned and approached that side.

"If I don't want to, I can't do it? I have no money, so I can't afford it, can't I? Are you magicians still unreasonable?" A shrill soprano voice sounded extremely harsh from the crowd.

"When did I stop being unreasonable?" The voice of a middle-aged man answered. "Obviously you just agreed with me last week, let me arrange a large frost circle for your store this week. Even the deposit has been handed over to me, but now you tell me that there is no need to decorate? Are you kidding me?"

"Hey. How dare I play tricks on a noble magician. But I really don't need this large frost circle now. What? Do you still want to buy and sell by force?"

"Nonsense! How dare you insult a noble and upright magician! Where did I buy and sell?"

"If you insist on forcing me to set up this large frost circle, then you are buying and selling!"

"I don't……"

...

This woman has obviously been in business for many years, and she has a sharp tongue. This middle-aged magician is a typical magician who is obsessed with magic research, so how could she win the other party by bickering.

The great magician Ferguson listened for a while, and saw that the middle-aged magician was gradually helpless, his brows frowned, and the magic power in his body was activated, and the crowd around him suddenly felt a gentle force pushing them away. , make way.

This is the city in the sky, and there are magicians everywhere. The conspicuous behavior of the great magician Ferguson certainly immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, the great magician Ferguson lifted the hood covering his head, revealed his face, and asked with a cold snort, "What's going on?"

Great Magician Ferguson is one of the sixteen elders of the Magicians Union Headquarters Council. Naturally, he has supreme prestige in the Sky City. Everyone recognized him instantly and saluted him quickly.

"You, come and tell me what's going on?" The great magician Ferguson waved to the middle-aged magician.

The middle-aged magician leaned over tremblingly, and explained what happened to the great magician Ferguson.

Although he was not very articulate, from his description, the great magician Ferguson still understood that the whole story was actually similar to what the two had just said in their conversation.

This sharp-tongued woman is the proprietress of a large fabric shop on the commercial street. She made an appointment with this middle-aged magician last week, asking him to come and decorate a shop for their shop this week. Large frost circle.

This is the usual practice of many large shops in Sky City, and there was no problem at first.

But this year when the middle-aged magician came to set up the magic circle, she was rejected by the proprietress, claiming that their shop does not need to set up a large frost magic circle now, so the previous transaction was voided, and the middle-aged magician was required to return the deposit .

The business that the middle-aged magician had originally obtained suddenly disappeared, and now he was asked to refund the deposit, how could he do it, so the two argued over this matter.

After listening to the description, the great magician Ferguson frowned, and quickly made a decision.

"Since she no longer needs to arrange a large frost circle, then follow her wishes. We are magicians, not bandits." The great magician Ferguson reprimanded the middle-aged magician first, then turned to look at The proprietress said with a stern face: "But no matter what, the deposit cannot be refunded, this is the rule."

The smile on the proprietress's face just froze, then she waved her hand and said with a smile: "Since it's Sir Ferguson who said so, of course it's fine."

When the people around saw the great magician Ferguson coming forward, the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Naturally, there was no excitement to watch, so they had to retreat separately.

The proprietress obviously knew that it would not be good for her to continue pestering her, so she bowed to the great magician Ferguson before turning around and planning to return to her shop.

"Wait." The great magician Ferguson stopped her at this time.

"Master Ferguson, do you have anything else to do?" The proprietress looked at the great magician Ferguson nervously.

"Tell me, why you don't need to set up a large frost circle all of a sudden? It's going to be the hottest weather soon. If you don't set up a large frost circle in your store, don't worry because the store is too hot and there are no customers." Would you like to come?"

The proprietress let out a breath and let out a chuckle: "Why, of course we have to prepare, but it's not a large frost circle, but..."

"Magic air conditioner, isn't it?" Great Magician Ferguson interrupted her.

The proprietress was taken aback: "How do you know?"

The great magician Ferguson's face was gloomy, he looked at the proprietress' shop beside the road, felt the extremely slight but abnormally stable magic fluctuations emanating from it, and then turned his head to look at the middle-aged magician who was a little dazed beside him, feeling a moment in his heart. I don't know what it's like. (To be continued..)
