Chapter 466 Recruitment
Chapter 466 Solicitation
Sol and the old man exchanged jokes to offset the strangeness of their first meeting.
“May I ask if you are ……” Sol had a vague guess in his heart.
“I’m the Dean of the Baidong Academy, Pound.” The white-haired old man said with a smile.
The dean of Baidong Academy, wasn’t that a second-ranked sorcerer?
Saul hurriedly performed the salute between wizards – of course with a third-ranked wizard as his mentor, he wasn’t ready to perform a big salute.
“Good day, Dean Pound!”
“Hehe, there’s no need to be so polite, well, I see that you’re already a full-fledged sorcerer as well, not bad for a Golza sorcerer’s apprentice. I’m sure one day you’ll advance to the third rank as well.” Dean Pound apparently also treated him differently because of Mentor Sol.
“Thank you for your compliments, but I still have a lot to learn right now. By the way, just now, why did you say that storage is much better than a compressed traveling bag?”
“This storage device can’t be popularized to ordinary people yet, but it has a lot of space, can be categorized and organized, and the most crucial thing is that it can store treated living things.”
“If it can store living things, that would be too convenient. It’s the need for other equipment to assist, right?” Most of the items that Saul carried outside were substances that were active.
Many sorcery experiments also required that materials be processed while they were alive.
And most of the active materials had extremely harsh preservation conditions, so very few of them could actually be brought along. Often times they have to be used now (caught).
In the past, when Saul was in the Sorcerer’s Tower, he didn’t feel this deeply. This time, after leaving completely, he realized how difficult it was for wandering wizards to live.
It was also fortunate that he majored in the dark attribute and had relatively few requirements for living bodies.
Pound heard Saul’s speculation and nodded with a smile, “That’s right, if you have the need, you can purchase a matching dormant silo, we have many kinds of specifications. In addition to that, other storage devices are also available, such as the Spirit Capture Pod.” Dean Ponder was not rusty in selling his wares, and was obviously used to doing so.
However, he probably didn’t think that Golza didn’t leave much magic crystals for Sol.
Even because of taking the core of the wizard tower, Sol didn’t have the good sense to take away too many possessions from the ruins of the wizard tower.
In the end, Saul considered for a moment and purchased the storage and two sets of dormant silos.
The magic crystals he had on him were instantly missing most of them.
Saul’s face was expressionless as he pulled out the money, and his heart was vaguely aching.
Because Dean Pound was with him the entire time, the purchase procedures came down very quickly.
The few staff members were also mostly ordinary people, trembling with fear beside the dean, who obviously had a very high prestige.
After paying the money and taking the goods, Saul looked back at the display hall behind him and didn’t dare to stay any longer.
Dean Pound also obediently walked out with him.
The buildings in the Baidong Academy were a bit more distinctive compared to the Archaeust’s watery high rise buildings. There were flat floors that covered an extremely wide area, high towers similar to wizard towers, and even a lake with a rocking crystal house visible underwater.
“Our academy hasn’t been established for a long time, but our philosophy is to recruit a wide range of talents. The buildings you see around here are all places where our academy instructors experiment and take classes.” Dean Pound walked while giving Sol an introduction.
This made Saul even more certain of his previous suspicions.
When he walked to the entrance of a building that looked like a haunted house, there happened to be three or four wizards inside who walked out.
One of their leaders was wearing a black cloak, and a pair of epaulettes were pinned to his shoulders, with a black background and a blue and white wave symbol in the center.
The few people following behind him were then wearing the most common Baidon Academy uniforms, with two silver edges on their clothes.
“This is Instructor Yona, majoring in the dark attribute just like you, behind him should be his apprentices, well, I can tell by looking at the uniforms, they are all second level apprentices.” More than ten meters apart, Pound introduced Saul.
The people on the opposite side had long seen Sol and Dean Pound, but just didn’t come over to greet him.
He inclined his head to look over, and the two eyes that were normal on his face suddenly squeezed above the bridge of his nose. Sol instantly felt a surge of spiritual power covering him.
He glanced at Pound and saw that the other party was smiling without any other reaction, and with a slight movement of his spiritual energy, countless translucent tentacles surfaced on the surface of his body’s skin like sweaty hairs.
The spiritual energy that covered over was instantly swallowed up by the even tinier sucker mouths on the tentacles.
Those sorcerer apprentices who followed the black cloak Jonah to look over instantly showed a terrified expression on their faces.
And Jonah’s eyes, which were squeezed together, quickly separated again, after which they had continued to stare at Saul, while the other surprisingly did a flip, leaving the whites of his eyes for the two.
Then Jonah’s mouth opened to speak, “What kind of third level apprentice is a formal sorcerer pretending to be, do you still want to sneak attack and hurt someone?”
Before Saul could say anything, Dean Pound immediately rebuked, “Nonsense again! Deduct your salary!”
Jonah’s mouth immediately closed, a twist and twitch, obviously the matter of deducting wages hurt him more.
After a few seconds, his mouth struggled to open again, not spitting out any good words.
“You hired another official wizard with dark attributes. What, are you dismissing me?”
“If Lord Saul is willing to join, of course I would be more than happy to do so. When the time comes, I’ll drive you to the Body Refining Building!”
“Excellency Saul?” Jonah looked over again, this time his eyes, which had just turned away to just the whites of his eyes, rolled back up, “Is that the Saul?”
Saul met his gaze without avoiding it, and suddenly heard Penny laughing out loud in his head.
“What are you laughing at?” Saul asked in his mind.
“Brother Saul, there are so many voices in that guy’s body. Some of them say they want to please you immediately, some of them say they should find you a fight to determine their strength, and one of them says they just disrespected you and want to kneel down for you! Hahahahaha, they’re all going to fight.”
So many voices?
Saul swept a glance at Jonah’s body.
Did so many souls live in this guy’s body?
It was so tempting to study it.
Yonah furled his cloak a little uneasily as he was met by Saul’s gaze.
“Of course, would I accompany anyone else like this?” Despite his age, Pound opened his mouth with compliments, not caring about his face.
Jonah’s mouth twitched again, squeezing his eyebrows as if he had a facial nerve spasm.
“Go to the Corpse Refining Building if you want, I won’t voluntarily cancel my contract anyway!” He waved his arms and said viciously.
Afterwards, as if he was afraid that Dean Pound would dock his paycheck again, he turned around and ran away.
A few apprentices who followed him saluted Pound and Sol in a panic, then hurriedly chased after them.
“Ugh …… made you laugh.” Dean Pound sighed softly and turned to Saul, “Our academy is wide open to talent, and we also accidentally recruited some oddballs in.”
Sol smiled. This Baidong Academy, which had been killed out of the Lordless Land, seemed to be not quite the same as what he had previously imagined.
“You are too modest. It’s normal for wizards to be spontaneous and frank in nature.”
“Hehe, it’s good that you’re not angry, Jonah is this kind of character, his mouth is foul and hard, but he’s still serious and earnest in what he does.” Dean Pound glanced back at the haunted house-like eerie building behind him, suddenly picking up where he left off before, “Right, I wasn’t joking just now oh, if you’re willing to join Baidong Academy, I’ll drive Jonah to the Corpse Practice Building. This lab is directly given to you, how about it?”
