Chapter 2 Magic Communication
Charles'question made most of the members look at Joss, who was sitting on the black stone seat.
Hope rose in their hearts at the same time.
After all, he was an archmage!
In the Hopeland Continent, mages were divided into apprentices, elementary, intermediate, and advanced mages.
The archmage was above them, and the extremely powerful holy mage was above the archmage.
The holy mage had not appeared for a long time. The power of an archmage was already the peak of the whole continent.
Sensing many gazes, Joss was still calm and collected.
However, when he looked at Charles, his expression suddenly changed, and he scolded mercilessly, "Charles, you disappoint me. Even such a small matter can make you so flustered. You are a mage!"
The meeting hall went silent.
Charles was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling.
"I'm sorry!" Charles quickly admitted his mistake.
However, Joss shook his head.
He was very clear about Charles' character.
A qualified finance minister should be conscientious. Although he had some small bad habits, it was not a big deal. This was the common problem of many mages.
The financial problems of the Twin Towers were not because of Charles.
In Joss' opinion, relying on the Magic Spring and mahogany wood, which required a long time to obtain, to support the finances of the Twin Towers was insufficient. Even if there was no problem at the moment, they would face problems later.
The financial problems of the Twin Tower started from the root.
However...
The vast majority of the mage towers were the same.
This was also what made Joss extremely astonished. Mages possessed great power. By chanting spells and constructing magic circuits, they were able to cast spells.
However, after thousands of years, the many spells that had been passed down did not seem to have changed much.
In other words, the mages of the Hopeland Continent did not improve at all.
In his previous life, as a miserable programmer, Joss was working under extreme pressure. He had seen many fantastic ideas, which made him have a different understanding of magic.
For him, magic was more like code.
Through the compilation of spells, all kinds of spells were formed.
Spells could be used for fighting or assisting.
Similarly, why could it not be used on some other things?
This was the limitation of the mages of the Hopeland Continent. They were extremely keen on practicing powerful spells but neglected to include creativity into their spells
Joss did not want the mages of the Twin Towers to be like that.
Thus...
He looked at Charles again, who had his head lowered.
"Charles, I'm disappointed in you. It's not because of the Magic Spring or those mahogany woods. These are just small problems that we need to solve sooner or later."
Charles then raised his head.
Joss continued, "As mages, we can cast powerful spells, but I don't see you guys using them in the right way."
Hearing this, the people started discussing again, and many people were unconvinced.
Even if Joss was an archmage and the Town Master of the Twin Towers, he could not say such a thing to them.
"What?"
"Not convinced, huh?"
Joss sneered.
He casually cast a spell. A green light appeared as it rushed toward Charles.
This was the most basic rejuvenation spell.
It could heal wounds and calm the mind.
Everyone was confused.
"This is the most basic rejuvenation spell. I'm sure everyone is very familiar with it. However, have you ever thought of a question? If the rejuvenation spell can be used on people, can it be used on plants or even some dead objects?"
Joss threw out a question to his fellows.
However, he was quickly refuted, "Sir, we've tried and failed."
"Oh, failed? You guys are powerful mages!"
Joss mocked again.
Suddenly, the space fluctuated, and a block of mahogany wood was moved over by him.
He cast another rejuvenation spell.
The green light landed on the mahogany wood. In just an instant, the wood grew three centimeters. The mages were shocked by such a magical scene
How could this be possible!
"Do you still have any reason to defend yourselves?"
"Joss..."
Some of them were still trying to voice out, but they did not dare to do so when they saw Joss' imposing manner.
Single-minded, indeed...
Joss was a little helpless, but since he was the Town Master, he could only remind them, "I can tell you very clearly that this is indeed a rejuvenation spell, but a magic circuit has been changed so that it can work on plants.
"And your so-called attempt must be a forced imitation!
"What a joke!
"This is also the reason why I'm disappointed in you guys!
After saying this, no one dared to voice out as many of them lowered their heads.
When Joss was almost done lecturing them, he took out another object. It looked like a square with magic runes on it.
"The problem we're facing now is not just the lack of resources, but the fact that we don't have our own renewable core resources.
"Without core resources, how can we compete with the other mage towers?
"From now on, we don't have to worry about the Magic Spring and the mahogany wood anymore.
"We have to fully promote the magical item that belongs solely to the Twin Towers, which is this thing in my hands... A phone!" Joss spoke loudly.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the meeting hall.
"A phone? What is that?"
"Could it be some powerful magic item?"
"..."
In front of the seats, Neil and Gray looked at each other in confusion.
They were skillful mages. The moment Joss took out the phone, they realized that it was just an extremely weak magical item. The mana fluctuations in it could not even compare to an ordinary wand.
How could such an item be sold for money?
Everyone was puzzled, but Joss did not pay much attention to them. He looked forward, but he was not looking at the mages. Instead, he was looking at a screen in front of him that only he could see.
[Magic Invention System]
[Owner: Joss]
[Acquired item: Basic Technology Construction, Magic Phone Assembly Blueprint, Magic Battery Manufacturing Method...]
[Currently invented item: Magic phone]
[Invention points: 5]
It was reasonable to bring along his golden finger after transmigrating.
Joss' golden finger was this Magic Invention System. As long as one developed magic technology, one could obtain invention points and use them to obtain all kinds of powerful magic technology blueprints.
Of course, it could also be used to increase one's strength.
After all, without cheat codes, how could he be considered an expert.
The series of blueprints he obtained was from his newbie grand prize.
It was also because of this that Joss did not care about the current problems of the Twin Towers.
Once the magic phone was released, it would be a complete blow to the other magic items.
When the time came, he could have as much money as he wanted.
Thinking of this wonderful scene, Joss' mood became better. Seeing that the mages in front of him were still discussing about something, he could not help but frown and cast a mute spell.
Then, only his voice was heard, "Charles, try this out."
