Roddy had heard a saying at the beginning: First-class companies make standards, second-class companies make brands, and third-class companies make products.

So unlike many magicians' speculation, the real purpose of the "Elson Magic Exchange Conference" is not "diging into the corners of the royal mages" - although Elson City has allowed many magic apprentices to come here to work voluntarily, to put it bluntly, this step is at best just "building a brand".

Let others know that "Elson City is well-fed" and make a choice, in Roddy's opinion, is just a "second-rate" level. It is not the ultimate goal of the plan. His purpose is to establish a "standard" that can be truly accessible in the Kingdom of Karen and even this continent.

In other words, it is to establish the "magic authority" of Elson City, making this place an indisputable "first city of magic".

Establishing standards will certainly conflict with the original vested interests, and this process will never be gentle. Therefore, Camilla prepared more than twelve "display venues" in a straightforward manner, and conducted comprehensive demonstrations and explanations in different regions in batches - everything speaks with strength, and any tricks will be pale in the face of absolute strength.

Most people know the importance of "intelligence", but no one will spend huge amounts of money and a lot of energy like Roddy to build an intelligence organization. When other forces collect intelligence and rely on various "informers" to inquire at each level, the total number of visitors to the mage information has been classified by the "Elson CIA" on Camilla's table.

Origin, experience, loyalty, and current academic level judgment. Although it may be different from the actual situation, most of the content has helped Camilla divide these mages into three categories: what is worthy of winning, what is not to be paid attention to, and what needs to be vigilant.

It is obvious that when the three mages deliberately left the table and provoked conflicts, they did not know that they were actually on Camilla's "blacklist" before entering Elson.

The political tendencies of the mages are very easy to investigate. Among these three mages, one is the famous fire magician Musk, and the other two are veteran mages sponsored by the royal family. They are fighting mages and are too lazy to do anything to do. They have not made any comments in the mainstream magic world since more than ten years ago, but this does not prevent Camilla from digging out the information of the two and putting them on the list of "need to be wary of".

Judging from the surveillance at night, the people who spread various news were basically intimately connected with these three magicians. Obviously, even if Roddy did not miss the first day's speech, these people would still find opportunities to destroy the entire meeting.

Camilla ignored these rumors and directly used the exhibition the next day as a powerful counterattack. After the exhibition that lasted for one day, all the arguments of the attending wizards in Elson City also flipped 180 degrees without any surprise.

Piles of magic weapons, hundreds of sets of mitral armor, and charge the guns... The effect of each magic prop may not be very powerful, but when you see these things being mass-produced at a speed of N pieces per day, which mage can still sit still?

There are twelve exhibition venues, including demonstrations of magic props, but also various exhibitions such as visiting the Elson Library, flying towers to take off, artificial rainfall observation, high-elf magic arrays and arcane puppet practices.

All of this made the mages who came to visit stunned.

Since the morning, the "Exhibition" has completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire "exchange meeting". Even the four magicians who have been famous for a long time stayed in the exhibition hall until they forgot to eat!

Not to mention those ordinary mages. The popular exhibition venues almost crushed the railings because there were too many onlookers - this was still the case where the rest of the idle people were not allowed to enter. If the soldiers in the city had not kept the irrelevant people outside, there would have been a stampede accident with heavy casualties...

The twelve "display venues" provided by Camilla can be said to be precisely positioned. Although most mages are interested in things related to magic, many of the unknown wizards, druids, are attracted by other "unpopularity": the impact of "artificial rainfall" on crops, the comparison of the yield data of fertilization and non-fertilization is something that those wise men with poor backgrounds are more concerned about.

The wood elves druids from Jingyu Forest are typical representatives: they often have multiple positions, both as guardians of the village and sometimes as managers, and also assure the village's food income - such legal officials do not have time to study magic theory, and they value reality more: being able to make the people under their rule have more important than anything else.

Therefore, this all-round "exhibition" shone with various "black technologies" to the eyes of all participants.

Before coming here, many mages from the eastern kingdom regarded Elson as a "city of ruins". This was like a local tycoon who originally wanted to mock the poor scholars in the countryside, but suddenly found that the floors were covered with gold and jade... For the next four days, they were basically in shock.

The more careful people not only paid attention to the magic circle, but also discovered the happy smiles of the farmers who were wandering around.

This scene is obviously something that has never happened in other parts of the kingdom. After all, in the eyes of the mage, the "lower class" is completely enslaved animals to support the upper class. The farmers in their impressions are all worried about survival all day long. How could they hear that they come out to wander around with spare money?

But the facts in front of them are obviously not acting, and the harvest is definitely not an illusion. The comprehensive gap between technological level and productivity made them finally realize the huge gap between the two sides...

Blanche and Tucker naturally did not want Elson to become the "magical authority center" of the kingdom. They came with political tasks, but now, they have to admit that Elson has long surpassed the existing magic level of the Kingdom of Karen and is at the absolute forefront.

This situation completely ruined the series of "sarcastic" plans they had originally prepared - after all, forcibly belittled Elson in this situation, not only does it make any sense, but it will instead lead to jokes from other colleagues.

Five days have passed, and everyone has a rough understanding of the strength displayed by Elson City. It is logical that it should be the main topic now, but what surprised these two magicians was that so far, the "Guardian" Camilla has never started a real "communication" project.

Naturally, they didn't know that they were "quarantined".

At this moment, Camilla was talking to the other two mages with a smile on her face about Rassiman.

Crohn and Strange obviously did not expect that they would receive such preferential treatment - after all, they knew very well that at the same time, the other mages were still wandering in Elson's "exhibition area".

"Obviously, Elson believes that the two magicians are more trustworthy and worthy of our greatest sincerity."

At this time, Camila was wearing a formal robe, and the magic fluctuations on her body were no worse than those of the two magicians. Her words obviously made Crohn and Strange feel comfortable, and also dispelled some of their doubts.

"Next Elson City will launch the 'magic forum' to build a complete magic system in the future." Camilla is good at temptation and further demonstrates the advantages of Elson City: "The next three days will be the 'lab probation period'. After the probation period, Elson will open the 'basic laboratory' to all magicians who are willing to provide qualified academic research. At the same time, if the academic level is high, you can pass the review and have a higher level of laboratory use permission..."

She briefly described the subsequent schedule and came up with two contracts: "Of course, Elson admired the two of them for their outstanding achievements in magic, so he was willing to directly provide the top magic lab for them. At the cost, each person only needs to publish more than three cutting-edge main author papers in the journal "Magic" every year."

Crohn and Strange looked at each other and thought that this requirement was too simple. After all, they had tasted the sweetness of the publication of the journal "Magic". At the level of the two, they must publish more than three papers every year - isn't Camillati's requirement the same as not mentioned?

But the magicians are good at heart after all. They picked up the contract and read it carefully. Only then did they find that one of them is very important: after the contract is signed, both parties are not allowed to publish papers in any other journal, and all the results can only be published in the journal "Magic", with a contract of three years.

This is equivalent to binding the two of them with "Magic". Crohn and Strange looked at each other and realized that this was Elson City buying themselves - after all, the core reason why a publication can be read by all magicians is the "gold content" of the content. If the whole article is full of garbage to pick up people's wisdom, naturally no one is willing to buy it. But if the above are all conclusions of authoritative masters, there is no need to worry about its "leader" status.

In theory, as a royal-funded magician, the two should not have "cooperation" with Elson City. But the contract does not mention "Elson City" at all. The other party signed the contract is simply the "Magic" journal... In other words, they are just cooperating with a national popular journal.

At present, there is no second journal as comprehensive as "Magic", not to mention that the treaty is only valid for three years and will automatically expire after three years. Even if Charles II is dissatisfied, he cannot stop this short-term "cooperation".

So Crohn and Strange signed happily. Camilla smiled and put the contract into the magic storage cabinet, stood up and said, "Since you have agreed to the contract, you can use the laboratory according to the contract. I will have someone take you there."
