Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 337
Chapter 335 Submit Resume
At the Southeastern Territory White Wizard Association headquarters, in the Dispatching Department’s office, an ordinary, official wizard from the School of Conjuration sat at his desk. He looked in surprise at the three official wizards who had entered his office today, muttering to himself, “Strange, strange, so many people came today.”
“In previous years, few people came here all year round.”
“This time, three of them came at once.”
He put down the book in his hand, placed the cup of wizard tea with unicorn milk on his desk aside, and then looked seriously at the three official wizards who entered his office.
He is already very old, nearly five hundred years old, and has no room for advancement. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to use connections to enter the Dispatching Department of the White Wizard Association and do such an undemanding job.
The staff of the White Wizard Association can be roughly divided into two types.
One type is the extremely bad group of people who have no room for advancement, or who do not want to compete, interact with students, or take responsibilities. The second type is the wizards who are very ambitious and want to be responsible for a specific matter in the White Wizard Association in order to obtain magical resources in disguise and gain leadership positions.
Working for the White Wizards Association can sometimes be a shortcut to rapid advancement in teaching positions.
But that requires a lot of secret information and good planning, otherwise the result will be counterproductive.
The old wizard from the Dispatching Department looked at the three young men who appeared in his office, and a slight hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but soon his mood calmed down completely.
“The work in the Dispatch Department is good; it’s very leisurely, and I get a basic allocation of resources from the White Wizard Association every year. But I’m too close to these young people. So close that sometimes I even wonder if I could have gone out when I was younger, and if I could have had a different life,” pondered the old wizard in the Dispatch Department.
He worked at Verdantia University for his entire life, but because he had no talent, he was only able to hold the position of Chair Mage, the most basic teaching position, after working for most of his life.
Later, he changed his career path, asked someone to find connections, and entered the headquarters of the White Wizard Association. Gradually, relying on his qualifications, he took over the idle position in the Dispatching Department.
Of course, that’s just the way it is with this position.
Basically, no one comes to him all year round, so there is no money to be made.
The old wizard from the Dispatch Department spoke up, “Three young First Ring wizards, the Dispatch Department in the Southeastern Region will use the wind magic of the Evocation School to deliver letters across vast distances and across wizarding lands. The messages, text, patterns, and materials of the letters you deliver will all be recorded by our wind magic and transformed into magical winds, carried to distant lands.”
“Therefore, according to the association’s regulations, I need to make the following explanation.” The old wizard from the Dispatching Department was obviously afraid of trouble, so he spoke in a very strict manner, without saying any unnecessary words, and insisted on doing everything according to the rules and procedures.
He has no background, and this position may have been secretly targeted by someone with connections. It’s just that he hasn’t done anything wrong, so there’s no reason to replace him.
Therefore, in this position, the best way is not to say unnecessary words and not to do things that go beyond the process.
The old wizard in the Dispatching Department activated the True Vision Crystal Ball on his desk and said, “First, the system responsible for transmitting your letters is called the Hurricane Eye Array Magic Gate.”
“The location is right there.”
The old wizard pointed out the window at a huge hurricane on the top of the Verdantia University mountain not far away.
That hurricane was created by wizards’ magic. It would not move, dissipate, or expand.
That exaggerated hurricane seemed like the eye of a huge whirlpool in the deep sea. If a mortal stood in the center of the hurricane’s eye, it would be like putting an ant in it.
The old wizard said, “The Eye of the Hurricane Array Magic Gate will transmit your submitted resumes to the corresponding Eye of the Hurricane Array Magic Gates in each wizarding land. Usually, information failure will not occur because the magic wind is a very stable transmission method.”
“But there’s a one in a million chance that you might encounter it and the transmission will fail. But according to the contract, we won’t refund the money.”
“You take this risk at your own risk.”
“This is the first point I want to make clear. The second point is that this information is completely encrypted by the Winds of Magic. No second party will know about it except the school or organization you submitted it to. This is the White Wizards Association’s guarantee and promise.”
“Third, strictly speaking, there’s no limit to the length of text that can be transmitted. For the Wind of Magic, there’s no difference between converting a message of 1,000 words and a message of 10,000 words.”
The old wizard said as if it were a formality, “Then, there’s the question of price. Delivering a resume, no matter how many targets it reaches, costs 500 magic stones per delivery.”
“This is the base price. To teleport to a more distant area, you’ll need to add 500 magic stones to the base price.”
“That’s about it. Okay, the three of you can tell me which wizarding school you want to send your resume to. I’ll be responsible for dropping your resume into the eye of the hurricane, and then your resume will be sent there.”
Locke and Hussein remained silent. A First-Ring wizard from the Seven-Colored Star Garden, a mid-level wizard organization in the Southeastern Region, anxiously asked, “Mr. Director, I’d like to invest in the Esosend Fireweaver Academy and the Hand of the Eclipse on the Sun Shadow Peninsula. How many magic stones should I pay?”
Hussein did not speak. As a former dark wizard, he always liked to remain silent until the situation became clear, allowing others to explore the surrounding environment and situation.
After all, exploration means adventure. During his long career as a dark wizard, he had long been forced to develop the habit of considering survival first and progress second.
Locke looked at the first-ring wizard who spoke. The other party’s magic power was only over a thousand, not to mention comparable to himself, let alone Hussein.
But the other person looked very young, probably in his early thirties.
Becoming an official wizard at this age proves that he is quite capable.
If you receive better training and gain access to a higher platform in the future, you may be able to achieve good development.
Locke remembered that the Seven-Colored Star Garden was a medium-sized botanical wizard organization, and he remembered that the wizard organization was best at cultivating chrysanthemum-type magical plants.
There are not many big projects in these small and medium-sized wizard organizations. The most important project of the Seven-Colored Star Garden is to study the relationship between various types of chrysanthemum magic plants and light magic, and to use light magic to transform and upgrade the characteristics of chrysanthemum magic plants.
Chrysanthemum magic plants naturally require stronger light than other magic plants, and their flowers even have the characteristic of running towards the direction of strong sunlight.
Moreover, the habitats of chrysanthemum-like magic plants are generally in high-sunlight environments, such as mountains and deserts.
The other party obviously also knew his strengths and weaknesses, so he did not want to stay in the southeast corner, but sought to go to a better place like the Sun Shadow Peninsula.
But Locke still thought about it for a while, because if he wanted to go to the Sun Shadow Peninsula, he could directly ask Teacher Harun Vera for a letter of recommendation, and then find Harun Vera, the second-ring wizard Bazel who was the dean of Esosend Fire Weaving Academy in the Sun Shadow Peninsula, and go to work there directly. He didn’t need to come to the Wizard Dispatch Department, spend magic stones, submit resumes, and gamble on his luck.
But soon, Locke realized that not everyone is like him, who has a school teacher who happens to know a second-ring wizard from a more advanced wizarding land like the Sun Shadow Peninsula.
For this newly promoted young wizard from the Seven-Colored Star Garden, the only way for him to go to the Sun Shadow Peninsula is to submit his resume here.
Moreover, judging from the goals he designated for the academy, he should have done some research before, but he probably had not contacted any of the decision-making wizards in Essosend Fireweaver Academy and Hand of Eclipse.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even need to go to the dispatch department and could just find a way to contact them privately.
The old wizard from the Dispatching Department said, “The Sun Shadow Peninsula is near the southeast corner, so it can be sent out for just 500 magic stones.”
The young first-ring wizard of the Seven-Colored Star Garden heaved a sigh of relief. He seemed to be not very well off, so he was very concerned about how many magic stones he would have to spend.
The old wizard from the Dispatching Department noticed this. He hesitated, pondered for a moment, and then, after making sure his next words wouldn’t lead to a report, said, “If your two resumes are identical, then you only need to select two colleges as recipients and submit them once. This will only cost 500 magic stones.”
“No need to deliver it twice.”
“Anyway, for the Wind of Magic, they are all sent to the Hurricane Eye Array Magic Gate in the same wizarding land. The difference is not that big.”
“The costs are the same.”
It was politically correct within the White Wizards Association to be friendly with young first-ring wizards, so the old wizard said it without any burden.
The young first-ring wizard of the Seven-Colored Star Garden immediately expressed his gratitude, “Thank you.”
The old wizard nodded, then looked at Locke and Hussein. “Two young fellow First Ring wizards, what about you? You both seem to be from Lilith’s Hut. Which wizarding land would you like to submit your resumes to?”
