Chapter 228 Recruitment
A rather old male human wizard walked in.
He has a nearly gray beard and sparse white hair, and his face looks quite old.
Based on the fluctuations of magic power around him, the moon elf mage Ru Yin can determine that his spellcasting ability can only open the fifth level of the magic network at most.
This means that his talent is not very good.
He must be quite old, Ru Yin thought to herself.
Even if he had never used any special ritual to extend his life, he was at least close to sixty or seventy years old.
Of course, the special ritual of extending life is a treatment that only the truly rich can enjoy. Like the wizard in front of me, if you want to break the shackles of life, the best way is to accumulate a fortune. Save the transmutation lich.
In this regard, Ru Yin could only praise the Seldarine gods for giving their elves a long life span. Two hundred years have made her still look like a young and beautiful moon elf.
Otherwise, the wizard in front of her might very well be the epitome of her future.
After all, her magical talent is not as outstanding as expected among the elves. Her current achievements depend entirely on hard work and the magical knowledge shared with her by the young tower master.
In fact, the saying that hard work can make up for failure appears in the elves with a long life. It is indeed a bit nondescript and not a good quality.
Because in the life of elves, they pay more attention to enjoying life, peeling the beauty out of the package, and letting the soul play freely.
Throughout Ru Yin's life, she dabbled in poetry, dance, singing, sword and bow skills, and strategy, but she did not specialize in any of them.
It took her the first hundred years of her life to fully grow up from an ignorant moon elf girl.
In the end, I found my own magic path in these many fields, and I have persisted until now.
She could vaguely recall the first time she learned magic.
Her magical talent is average among moon elves. Even the simple use of meditation to communicate with the magic network takes a whole day to master.
This forced her to break her slow pace of life and spend more time learning magic skills.
It is her persistence and diligence in magic that makes her ostracized in the Moon Elf family.
They often looked at her with strange eyes, as if to say: A diligent elf like you will only die slowly in a monotonous life. You have violated the purpose of the Seldarine gods to enjoy happy songs and free dances.
In this regard, Ru Yin's heart has never wavered. As a moon elf who fled to the valley from Cormanthor, she knows the importance of strength.
If you don’t have strong strength, how can you fight against those enemies who are unable to create or communicate with the mysterious world of nature, but can only seek to destroy the world.
Eternally vigilant, use force and magic to prevent the return of the exiled darkness, and strengthen your heart to resist the chaos and evil corruption that allowed the Spider Queen to instigate the Crown War.
Vigilance is also included in Corellon Larethian's teachings.
Ru Yin put away her wandering thoughts and looked at the human wizard in front of her.
From any angle, this old wizard is a wizard who can never advance to the legendary realm.
Such a wizard is exactly what the Wizard Tower, which is in urgent need of manpower, needs most.
Because wizards who are too promising are difficult to control, and wizards with advanced potential may not be willing to serve the wizard tower.
And this kind of wizard is not very strong, and he is not young at the same time. He may not have too much ambition, but he has good experience, which is what they need most.
Although the old wizard was neatly dressed, he looked a little disheveled and downcast. His eyes were tired and bloodshot, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
On his staff, you can still see the damaged parts that have not been repaired.
Obviously, this is a wizard who lives in poverty and is living a somewhat downbeat life.
In the impression of the world, the high-ranking wizards are a very wealthy group.
However, this is not the case.
As the president of the Silver Scholars Association, Ru Yin understands this very well.
Without external support, they are often short of money for their own magic research, and even the funds that can flow in their hands may not be as abundant as those of merchants.
After all, the premise of studying magic is that it requires a lot of expensive materials.
Without the support of materials, they have to find ways to accumulate wealth by spending a lot of time making magic items or copying scrolls, or even going out on adventures.
After you have accumulated enough research materials, you end up being destitute in an accidental spell research.
In the words of their young tower master Brian: after decades of hard work, they returned to before liberation.
Although it is not that exaggerated, it is very appropriate.
Then, you need to get the correct answer from the failed experience, cheer up again, accumulate wealth, and conduct a second research that may fail.
This is an endless cycle, and it is also a true portrayal of the ordinary wizard group.
Ru Yin withdrew her gaze from the old wizard and began to carefully look at the resume placed in front of her.
If there are no problems with what is introduced in the information, then the old wizard in front of him can borrow the words of their tower master: This person is useless, delete his account and practice again.
During the construction of the Wizard Tower, Ru Yin had been in contact with the young tower owner for the longest time, and she would always inadvertently hear some interesting words from him.
She secretly remembered it in her heart and called it: Tower Master's slang.
She put down the resume in her hand and frowned lightly.
The old wizard seemed to notice her expression and became slightly uneasy.
This is a wizard who has extensive experience in the field of magic.
He studied six of the eight major schools of magic among wizards in depth.
There is no doubt that the research progress of each school of thought is as mediocre as ordinary residents of the town.
Originally, in Ru Yin's eyes, this was a wizard who was not qualified to join the wizard tower.
But she noticed that the resume of the wizard's life stated that when he was young, he served as a golem assistant in the Arcane Brotherhood in Luskan for twenty years.
"This kind of person meets the criteria for going to the golem workshop to drive screws." Ru Yin once again recalled the slanderous words the tower owner accidentally said, and then made arrangements for the fate of the old wizard.
She looked at the old wizard named Sandcott in front of her and said slowly, "Your conditions meet the criteria for joining the Wizard Tower. As a basic condition for joining the Wizard Tower, I need you to complete the enchantment of at least one mechanical puppet every month, so that you can stay in the wizard tower forever without restricting any of your freedom."
Complete the enchantment of an ordinary mechanical puppet in one month. It is not difficult for the old wizard in front of him. According to Ru Yin's estimation, with his current strength, he can complete at least three statues every month.
"Really?" There was a hint of surprise in the old wizard's expression, and he asked hurriedly, "The arcane knowledge, the spell scroll..."
Halfway through his words, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut up.
Even if he didn't say it, Ru Yin could guess it. She smiled slightly, took out a contract scroll and a star badge, and said to him:
"Although it is on your resume , write extremely detailed about your abilities, but our tower master often says: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Next, you will have a one-month internship period. If you pass the test, congratulations, you will. Be recruited by our wizard tower. Otherwise, we will pay you for this month's internship and let you leave on your own."
"Don't worry, Ms. Ru Yin," the old wizard assured her. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with my resume."
"Okay." Ru Yin nodded perfunctorily. Obviously, she was tired of hearing this kind of words.
She handed over the contract scroll, "If there is no problem, just sign this contract."
"As for the arcane knowledge and spell scrolls you need, after your one-month internship period is over, After you successfully join the wizard tower, we will give you a bronze badge that symbolizes your identity." She patiently explained to him:
"The bronze-level magic badge is the lowest level, except for allowing you to live in the wizard tower. There are no benefits except for the permissions and separate rooms. Of course, if you want to obtain the benefits of the wizard tower and improve your own permissions, you can increase the level of the badge through your own efforts, such as completing what you have to do every month. In addition to enchanting one of the mechanical puppets, you will get 5 points for each additional one. When your points reach 50 points, you can upgrade your bronze badge to a silver badge and further obtain new permissions and benefits."
The authority levels of the Wizard Tower are mainly divided into bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond.
With Ru Yin’s current ability, she only got a gold level magic badge.
This is the authority that the Tower Master directly gave her to upgrade after the system was established, and all the members of their Silver Scholars Association are at the Silver level.
Wanting to further enhance her authority, Ms. Polaris, the Tower Spirit of the Wizard Tower, has already organized the conditions and tasks for obtaining points very clearly.
This is an orderly and fair promotion system. Any wizard with a certain skill can find his or her place here.
She couldn't help but feel happy for her wise choice.
“I suddenly had a hunch that the choice I made today will be the most correct one I have made in the past hundred years.”
"I will try my best not to disappoint your premonition."
Recalling the conversation between herself and the young tower master in the dark area, Ru Yin felt as if it was yesterday every time. Head.
"I understand."
Although the wizard was old, his mind was still clear. He nodded slightly, picked up the contract scroll on the table, and began to look at it.
After waiting for about half an hour, the old wizard finally took his eyes away from the scroll, looked at Ru Yin in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:
"Ms. Ru Yin, this... this is too exaggerated. The price of betraying the Wizard Tower is so heavy."
"It's not heavy at all." Ru Yin has long been used to the expressions of wizards. Answer skillfully.
"Believe me, as long as you serve the Wizard Tower loyally, the price is equivalent to nothing. Because in my opinion, those wizards who have not yet joined and are thinking about betrayal will cry out for injustice."< br>
In the world of Toril, the dissemination of precious magical knowledge is extremely cautious, and the Wizard Tower in Mokou Town is no exception.
The contract clearly states that anyone who spreads the secret knowledge exclusive to the Wizard Tower without permission, or is a traitor, those wizards of the Necromancy School who are good at playing with souls, will let them know that from the Wizard What is the use of the soul?
Otherwise, they are free as long as they regularly complete the tasks given by the Wizard Tower.
"Dear Madam, although I am a down-and-out wizard."
The old wizard said righteously, "But I have not degenerated to the point of selling my soul. Yours What’s the difference between a contract and a devil?”
“Don’t you feel it?” Ru Yin said indifferently:
“In the wizard tower in Mokou Town, even everything is different. Even if you don’t do it, the magical aura emanating from the elemental pool can also slow down aging and keep your mind clear.”
She wasn't lying, this was her own experience.
Just this special function will make most low-level wizards flock to it.
Besides, there is also a complete promotion system in the wizard tower, so she does not have to worry about not being able to recruit wizards.
"I'm just joking with you." The old wizard seemed to sense this change, and quickly bent down and said with a smile: "I am willing to join the Wizard Tower."
The premise is that you can take the assessment. Success, Ru Yin thought.
"Then sign this internship contract." She said with a smile, "Someone will arrange for you to work at the designated location. I wish you success in the assessment."
Seeing the old wizard leave, the moon elf The mage looked relieved.
Since the wizard tower was successfully established and the elemental pool and tower spirit were successfully operated, recruiting spellcasters has become a job that she must do every day.
The standard given to her by the tower owner is to recruit 50 wizards who have opened the third level of magic network or above, and let them be responsible for magic items, spell scrolls, and the work of the golem workshop.
And this old wizard named Sandcott was the last wizard she recruited.
The work of recruiting wizards went more smoothly than she imagined.
Since she spread the recruitment information to many cities in the northern border of the Kingdom of Cormyr, as well as in the valley area, many wizards come here every day.
It only took her ten days to complete this task.
As for those who had no chance to join, she could only express regret.
After all, although the Wizard Tower is short of people, not all wizards can be accommodated.
Next, she needs to focus on the Golem Factory.
The tower owner has given her a task. As long as she completes the production of 300 mechanical puppets and 200 ultra-small flying structures in half a year, her authority can be directly upgraded to the platinum level, with viewing endurance. Color reel qualifications.
After she finished handling the matters at hand, she stood up and walked towards the fourth floor of the Wizard Tower.
There is a different dimension space there, which was originally the mansion of a preaching mage.
Under the changes made by Ms. Polaris, it became a magic school for cultivating spellcasters in Mokou Town.
