Volume 1 Chapter 113 (1/2)

Dwarven magic mechanical engineers

Perhaps it was because they were shocked by the Magic Air Conditioner, but after Xu Yi had led them on a tour of the two workshops, there were a total of nine people of the thirteen magicians who were willing to stay with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

As for the four people who rejected him, the ones who made Xu Yi most disappointed were Erwin and Bob.

“I’m sorry, Xu Yi, I really do want to struggle with you, but……” Erwin was a bit embarrassed, “My dream since I was young was to become a powerful magician. I am still young, so I don’t want to give up yet……”

Xu Yi asked in a confused voice, “You can also study magic here. Even Rooney is stay and his magician grade is higher than yours.”

Erwin scratched his head before saying with a laugh, “Compared to here, I prefer going through danger to increase my power. As for Rooney…...His family’s condition isn’t good, so he always hoped for a stable income, he is different from me and Bob. Based on giving me face, I hope you can take care of him.”

Seeing that Erwin had made up his mind, Xu Yi could only give a helpless sigh and a slight nod, “Alright, I will take care of him.”

After sending off the four magicians who wanted to leave that included Erwin and Bob, Xu Yi didn’t have time to be hurt. He brought the remaining nine magicians to find Sebas, to have them sign an employment contract with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

From this day forth, these nine magicians would be officially employees of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. The work they did was to finish drawing all the Magic Arrays on the magic machines.

Even though there were only nine people, because they were full time workers, being able to work longer than the Baron Rickto Magic Academy students and adding in the fact that they had studied magic longer, their experience in drawing Magic Arrays was much higher than the students.

As long as they familiarized themselves with their work, Xu Yi was certain that the work they completed each day would surpass the students.

After signing the contract, Xu Yi had Sebas lead them back to Banta City.

In order to welcome these magicians, Xu Yi specially contacted Heinz ahead of time to rent two buildings in Banta City as their temporary residence.

Of course, as there were more and more workers for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, these two buildings wouldn’t be enough. Xu Yi had long planned to build worker dorms near the factories, giving a place for the employees of the company to live in.

After taking care of these magicians, Xu Yi went to the magic machine workshop. He called together Camby and the other dwarves in charge to hold a small meeting.

“Three thousand unit?” Hearing the number Xu Yi gave, Camby and the other dwarves all revealed look of pleasant surprise.

Of course they were happy because of the large orders, which meant that the dwarves would have quite a bit of work to do and they would receive a large wage from this work.

They were shocked because this number was just too high. With the current production of the magic machine workshop, they probably couldn’t finish this amount by the spring harvest at all.

“Chairman, you should be very clear on our abilities right now, so why did you accept this order?” Camby looked at Xu Yi doubtfully and asked, “Or are you going to gather more dwarven brothers to increase productivity? Time is short now and it takes some time to grasp how to make the agricultural magic machines. Even if you can recruit enough dwarven brothers, I’m afraid this bit of time isn’t enough.”

Xu Yi revealed a bitter smile and helplessly replied, “Of course I know this, but there was no other way. This was the lowest amount the king would take and if we can’t complete it, perhaps this order would be gone.”

Camby was even more confused, “That isn’t right. The king should know that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce is the only one who can make agricultural magic machines, so even if we can’t complete the order, could it be that he would find others to do it?”

“Of course he wouldn’t. But the king said that if we couldn’t complete this order, he would force us to hand over the technology and use the kingdom’s power to build them. Do you think I had a choice?”

Camby and the other dwarves looked at each other and after a while, Camby let out a long breath.

“Your human king really is unreasonable.”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, “Alright, let’s forget about this. I’ve already taken the order, so we should be thinking about how to complete it.”

Camby awkwardly scratched his head, “Chairman, I can have the brothers work overtime and supervise everyone to increase productivity, but there is a limit to this. It would still be very difficult to complete such a large order. Then again, other than this order, we also have to complete the orders for the nobles of the cities around Banta City, who also want agricultural magic machines. Moreover, you said before you left that because we are working with the large companies in the city, we also have to complete some production magic machines? If it’s this much…...I feel like we can’t do it.”

The other dwarves all looked at each other before giving sighs and shaking their heads, clearly thinking this would be very difficult.
