Volume 6 Chapter 111 - Providing Qualification For The Patent
Three days later, the Sack Kingdom announced publicly that their magic research facility had solved all the problems with the Magic Cannon, so they had successfully developed one.
This news was spread at an incredible speed across the surrounding countries before passing to other countries on the continent at the same fast speed.
Once this news was spread, the entire continent stirred.
Since the results of the Candra Empire’s two invasions on the Rudson Kingdom, all the countries on the continent knew the strength and importance of military magic machines. The two empires didn’t hesitate to seek out military magic machines.
However, the military magic machines were only controlled by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and there was no one else who could make them. So the Candra Empire and the Marlow Empire had to lower their noble heads and seek cooperation with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
As for the other small countries, they were even more desperate for the military magic machines, but they also had to go to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for them.
At this time, there was another country that could make military magic machines and it was the high end Magic Cannon, this was a strong shock for all the countries on the continent that wanted the military magic machines.
Although the Sack Kingdom had only just released this news and they could only produce the Magic Cannon, for most countries, there was an important meaning behind this for them.
Because this meant that the military magic machines didn’t only belong to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
After the Sack Kingdom released this news, they chose a date to demonstrate the military magic machines. Other than showing off the Magic Cannon that they had just developed, they would also show off the other low end military magic machines that they had developed.
Because of this demonstration, the Sack Kingdom became the center of attention for the continent. All the newspapers in the southwest corner of the continent wrote articles about this matter and many people’s private conversations were about this matter.
With the influence of this atmosphere, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that used to be the center of attention was thrown to the back of everyone’s minds and forgotten.
Of course, there were some people who couldn’t forget the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
For example, Great Magician Ferguson.
This was Great Magician Ferguson’s third time coming to the Stantine Duchy, coming to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base.
Compared to the last time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base had greatly changed. There were many new tall buildings that took the place of the empty land. Countless people moved through those tall buildings, looking very busy.
The entire Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base looked busy and prosperous, like it wasn’t affected by the Sack Kingdom’s announcement at all as they took care of everything normally.
Great Magician Ferguson jumped out of his horse carriage and rubbed his sore waist. Then he looked at the Magic Sedan that flew past him with a bit of admiration in his eyes.
It would be good if he could have a Magic Sedan. It wouldn’t be as hard to travel three thousand kilometers to come from the Magicians Headquarters and he would get here several times faster.
But the headquarters was still struggling against the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and was even dissatisfied with them. He couldn’t at this time take the initiative to buy a Magic Sedan against the wishes of the headquarters.
Then again, he came on behalf of the headquarters to punish the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. If he came in a Magic Sedan produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn’t have the same aura.
“Why can’t the other companies make Magic Sedans?” After thinking of this, Great Magician Ferguson couldn’t help complaining in his heart, “The Sack Kingdom can make the Magic Cannons and the Magic Sedans are simpler than the Magic Cannons. Those companies really are useless……”
After he complained in his heart, Great Magician Ferguson looked at the entrance to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters in front of him. Xu Yi came out with several people in the uniform of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce magic research facility.
After seeing the magician rank badge on their chests, Great Magician Ferguson couldn’t help narrowing his eyes.
The weakest of these Frestech Chamber of Commerce researchers was an Eighth Grade Magician and there were three Ninth Grade Magicians.
Adding in the fact that there was the Great Magician Xu Yi, even if there weren’t many of them, it was a power that couldn’t be ignored.
After remembering that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic research facility had over seven hundred magicians where most of them were High Grade Magicians, as well as the over three thousand Low Grade Magicians in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s various factories, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had a terrifying amount of magicians.
Moreover, other than Xu Yi who was a Great Magician, a Lampuri Kingdom Great Magician who was working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, as well as unknown Great Magician who was said to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there were three Great Magicians that belonged to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
If the ultimate power of Arch Magus Camilla was added in, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic power was simply terrifying.
“Great Magician Ferguson, welcome to our Frestech Chamber of Commerce once again.” While he was thinking about this, Xu Yi’s group came over and he reached his hand out to Great Magician Ferguson with a smile.
“Hello chairman Xu, I’m very happy to see you again.” Great Magician Ferguson quickly put away his thoughts and reached his hand out to take Xu Yi’s. Then he looked at the magicians behind Xu Yi with a doubtful gaze, “These are…..”
“Oh, they are researchers at our company’s magic research facility. They heard that Great Magician Ferguson was here to discuss several topics related to magic with us on behalf of the Magicians Guild headquarters and they were interested, so they wanted to listen in.” Xu Yi explained with a smile.
“Listen in?” Great Magician Ferguson knitted his brows.
He had already told Xu Yi what the headquarters wanted to discuss with him ahead of time, it was impossible he didn’t know.
This matter wasn’t suited to be discussed in front of many people, so if Xu Yi had this stance, what did it mean?
Xu Yi acted like he didn’t see the expression on Great Magician Ferguson’s face at all and reached out his hand with a smile, giving an inviting gesture.
Great Magician Ferguson could only calm down and follow Xu Yi into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.
Xu Yi had already prepared a conference room and directly brought Great Magician Ferguson in.
The group took their seats and after Xu Yi gave a polite speech to welcome Great Magician Ferguson, he went right into the main topic.
“Great Magician Ferguson, as for the headquarters’ request to stop forming the Magic Machine Patent Protection Union, after discussing it with the company, we have decided to deny this request. I hope that you can pass our decision on to the headquarters.”
“Ah?” Great Magician Ferguson was a bit surprised.
He came this time to officially warn the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Magicians Guild headquarters, calling them to stop forming the Magic Machine Patent Protection Union or the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be punished by the Magicians Guild.
But he never would have thought that before he even said anything, Xu Yi would reject him first!
What courage did he have to reject this?
After being surprised, anger suddenly filled Great Magician Ferguson’s chest.
“Chairman Xu, do you know the consequences of doing this?” Great Magician Ferguson asked with a dark look.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “I don’t know.”
“You……” Great Magician Ferguson was filled with rage, but after seeing the smile on Xu Yi’s face, he forced himself to calm down, “Chairman Xu, my arrival this time is to officially give your Frestech Chamber of Commerce the headquarters’ decision on their behalf. Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce must stop forming this Magic Machine Patent Protection Union, otherwise you’ll be punished by the headquarters! This is a decision that comes from the council, chairman Xu, your company must comply!”
Xu Yi smiled without saying a thing. Not only did he not respond, he leaned back in his chair, looking at Great Magician Ferguson with a calm look.
“Your excellency Great Magician Ferguson, I have a question.” A middle aged researcher who looked to be around forty beside Xu Yi suddenly spoke.
Great Magician Ferguson looked at him with knitted brows. He thought that since Xu Yi had brought these people, they must have made preparations.
He looked at the Ninth Grade Magician badge on that middle age man’s chest before Great Magician Ferguson gave a nod, “Speak, what is your question?”
The middle aged man stood up and gave Great Magician a respectful bow before asking, “Your excellency, I do not understand the headquarters’s decision. Why is the headquarters asking our company to stop forming the Magic Machine Patent Protection Union? For what reason?”
“Reason?” Great Magician Ferguson looked at Xu Yi who had a relaxed smile on his face and gave a cold snort before responding, “The protection of magic patents and its uses belong to the Magicians Union headquarters. Other than the headquarters, no one has the right to exercise this power. Now your Frestech Chamber of Commerce wants to form this Magic Machine Patent Protection Union, it’s encroaching on the authority of headquarters. Since this is the first offense and since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce helps with the development of all the magicians on the continent, the council has decided to leave you some space. But if you insist on doing this, the headquarters won’t show any courtesy!”
“Your excellency, although what you said sounds reasonable…..” The middle aged man had a trace of ridicule on his face, “If I remember correctly, the words ‘patent’ and ‘magic patent’ were proposed by our Frestech Chamber of Commerce to the headquarters, right?”
