Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 376

Chapter 374: Anthony the Wizard Who Became the Patriarch

Chapter 374: Wizard Anthony, the Patriarch of the Family
Wizard Salvador nodded solemnly to Locke. “Then I’ll help you apply for a teaching position and write a letter of recommendation. We’ve added the contact information of the Gray Mist Slate. If there’s any news, I’ll let you know immediately.”

Before leaving, Wizard Salvador whispered to Wizard Charlotte, “Wizard Charlotte, you still haven’t gotten over the money-grubbing habits of your Six Towers family wizards. If you want to give me the magic plant, then just give it away. Why ask for money?”

“We Jungle Hands don’t care so much about money.”

Because Wizard Salvador holds a special status in the Jungle Hand, even though Wizard Charlotte is a wizard in the liquefaction stage and holds a special status in the Adam Smith family and is an elder, at this moment she can only listen to the opinions of Wizard Salvador, a senior expert.

Locke couldn’t help but sigh at this scene. “I see. Even though this region, due to various historical reasons, has seen powerful family wizards form alliances, even temporarily making the White Wizard Association and Wizarding Organization here parasitic and useless, the family’s organizational structure is based on blood ties, not values and ideologies.”

‘There is a gap in values here, and Jungle Hands saw this point.’

Using the concept of Jungle Hand, we invaded this area where mainstream values were weak and forced our way in.

In general, this is a counterattack against this family area by an alternative organization of wizards and scholars centered on ideas.

All I can say is that only a crazy person can deal with a crazy person.

The deeply rooted family values in the Land of Six Pagodas seem to be on the verge of collapse in the face of the alternative bond formed by the extreme ideas of the Jungle Hand.

Locke turned around and followed Wizard Code, and saw the people of the Firaide family waiting in front.

At that time, Peggy Filayd, who had been in contact with him, Wizard Anthony, and a large group of wizard apprentices from the Filayd family were all standing there waiting for him.

When Wizard Anthony saw Locke, he raised his hands and welcomed him, “Hahaha, Junior Brother, you’re finally here. This is the first time we meet in person.”

“Your senior brother has made a name for himself in the Six Towers. Just three days ago, I was promoted to the head of the Firaide family.”

“Right now, I’m weak and alone, but with the help of you, a genius in potions, I will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the Firaide family.”

“Oh, let me introduce you. This is Peggy, the one you chatted with before. Peggy is my wife’s half-sister. We’re one of them.”

Wizard Anthony whispered to Locke, “Their family is complex, with competition between the direct and collateral branches, and even among the direct brothers and sisters. I’m from the eldest sister’s side of their direct bloodline.”

“So, you’re from this side too.”

“Sigh, to be honest, I really think this kind of family business is very primitive. There aren’t many people in the first place, and I didn’t expect them to fight each other. Fortunately, I can get a lot of help from our alumni association in the southeast corner.”

Wizard Anthony’s confidence soared. “I was able to become the head of the Firaide family not only because of my outstanding abilities, but also because I have you, my junior brothers, standing behind me.”

Locke didn’t expect that Wizard Anthony had already become the head of the Filaid family.

This is really unexpected.

Ever since this guy married into the Filayd family, he has been like a dragon riding the wind. From then on, he has been full of energy and his luck has continued to improve.

Locke thought about it and remembered that teacher Harlan Vera told him that when wizard Anthony was studying with him, he was just a wizard with an unattractive appearance, above average talent, and was rather mediocre and not very talkative.

But at this moment, looking at the very talkative, fast-paced and energetic wizard Anthony, Locke couldn’t help but sigh that sometimes fate is really unpredictable.

Even if you are ahead in one period, you may not continue to be ahead in another period.

Locke greeted Peggy and the others. At this time, Peggy’s attitude towards Locke became a little better. She took the initiative to lower herself and began to communicate with Locke on an equal footing, at least on the surface.

Locke looked at Peggy in surprise. It might be because of Wizard Anthony’s current status in the Filaide family. Otherwise, according to their previous communication habits, Peggy would not be so humble in front of him as she was now.

Locke looked at Wizard Anthony and asked, “Brother, I remember you said before that the Six Towers was just a springboard for you. Are you still applying for teaching positions everywhere?”

A trace of embarrassment crossed Wizard Anthony’s face. He coughed and said, “Ahem… That was my previous thought, but now I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Filaide family. The elders trust me and even entrusted me with the management of the Filaide family’s main mines.”

“The resources of the Firaide family are at my disposal, and I’ve discovered that there are truly abundant resources here, but the wizards here don’t know how to use them. That’s why I was able to become a gasification wizard in such a short time. I’m even confident I can become a liquefied wizard within five years.”

Wizard Anthony explained, “Now it seems that even if I get a teaching position somewhere else, I may not be able to enjoy these resources. So… forget it.”

“Junior brother, if you want, I can also find a young witch you like from the Firaide family to be your wife. How about Peggy?”

Wizard Anthony probed, “Hahaha, if one isn’t enough, then bring a few more. I’m the boss of the Filayd Family now. I’ll gradually bring over some of the brothers in our network who aren’t doing well outside to the Filayd Family.”

“Let them marry women from the Firaide family.”

Locke nodded slightly and declined politely, “Forget it. I’m still applying for a teaching position. I might leave the Six Towers someday.”

Wizard Anthony smiled and didn’t care. After all, they were from the same school and often attended parties together. They had a close relationship and could stand the test.

“I see. I know that Junior Brother’s ambition is not here.”

“A super genius like you would naturally not choose such a mediocre path. For someone like me, this route is already a curveball.”

“Junior brother, I’ve arranged a room for you at the Filayd family. The Filayd family is one of the main families at White Elephant Tower No. 5. The wizard organization at White Elephant Tower No. 5, the White Elephant Magic Gem University, is very powerful. Half of the wizard instructors at White Elephant Magic Gem University are wizards from the Filayd family. I’m also the chief wizard instructor at that university and the current Dean of Scientific Research and Project Director at White Elephant Magic Gem University.”

“Under my leadership, White Elephant Magic Gem University has published several A-level or higher articles and projects with the association, which are recognized by the outside world. We even recently published an S-level article, which greatly brought honor to our school.”

“I’ve also arranged a magic gem feast for you. It’s specially prepared by our White Elephant Magic Gem University to entertain distinguished guests. Hahahaha, Junior Brother, you’re the first of my fellow disciples to come to the Six Pagodas. I’m going to treat you well.”

Wizard Anthony whispered to Locke, “By the way, Junior Brother, you’re staying here anyway. Besides trying to treat the illness for the Great Wizard Sura, you can also do some projects here.”

“Even if you’re not from our university, it doesn’t matter. I know how important the first teaching position is. As your senior, I wouldn’t dare betray you. Otherwise, my fellow students and teachers would tear me apart.” Wizard Anthony said, “But if you have any projects you’d like to apply for, I have a plan. You can use the quota at our White Elephant Magic Gem University to apply for the Association’s First Ring Wizard Level First Ring Fund Project.”

“Well… the first-ring fund from the association headquarters is quite difficult to apply for, and it’s also difficult to interfere with this. After all, the wizards responsible for approval are all wizards from the Star Domain Sea.”

“But the association branch, which is the regional first-ring fund, is easier to apply for.”

Wizard Anthony smiled and said, “In the White Wizard Association of the Six Towers, all the judges for the First Ring Fund are from the wizards of the major families. So, as long as I tell you, if you submit it today, your project application will be approved immediately tomorrow.”

Locke was surprised.

In order to support young wizards, the White Wizard Association has a first-ring fund application provided by the headquarters and a first-ring fund application provided by the branch. As long as the application is passed, you can get a subsidy from the association to support young wizards in researching a certain project.

This is also a way for the White Wizard Association to train younger generations.

No matter how powerful a wizard is, he still needs to grow step by step when he is young and consume resources. He is not a tree without roots.

In this way, wizards without backgrounds in the entire white wizard society can be given an easier path to advancement.

But Locke didn’t expect that this system in the Land of Six Towers had completely become a place for family wizards to abuse power. It was obvious that all the resources of this part of the fund in the Land of Six Towers were finally distributed to the hands of local famous wizard families.

Whether the project can pass the approval of the fund committee here does not depend on how logical, unique, or feasible the project is, but on your identity and family.

No wonder, when Teacher Harun Vera was communicating with me before, he said that the first ring fund of the White Wizard Association headquarters is the fairest, because the wizards evaluated are all those in the Star Sea.

But the first-ring funds of the White Wizard Association branches in various places depend on which wizard land it is.

Anyway, it seems that this fund has become a joke in the land of the Six Towers.

Locke said to Wizard Anthony: “Thank you, brother.”

No matter what, I still have to thank my senior brother. If he hadn’t made a name for himself here, I would definitely not be able to enjoy such almost expert-level treatment if I came here.
