Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 490

Chapter 488: The Competition among Major Wizarding Organizations

“Hello, Breeder Augustine, I am Wizard Turks, a wizard mentor of the Wizard Organization of Yunze Wetlands and Arrow Flow Harbor, and I am also a sea wizard.” When Wizard Turks saw Locke walking out of the frontier town of Kalimla and leading the research team to the wizard airship, his eyes suddenly lit up and he took the opportunity to come forward and talk to him.

Locke glanced at the Turks wizard in front of him and found that he was a wizard in the first ring crystallization stage, with some students following behind him.

When Wizard Tucker saw Locke looking at him, he immediately pulled out a contract. “Breedmaster Augustine, I watched the Yunze Cup competition, and your performance was outstanding.”

“This is a teaching contract invitation from Arrow Flow Harbor. We are a large wizard organization in the Yunze Wetlands, with thousands of students and many First-Ring wizards. We would like to invite you to become our Head Mage. We also promise to provide you with free housing in the wizard settlement near Arrow Flow Harbor and equip you with a First-Ring magical creature, a [Flame Spirit Bright Horse] carriage, for your use.”

Wizard Tucker smiled. “In addition to providing you with a garage, we will also be offering you the opportunity to enter the first-level Wizarding Realm every two years in the near future.”

“In addition to this, our academy will also guarantee that within five years, you will become a wizard mentor and obtain the position of wizard mentor.”

The Turks wizards at Arrow Harbor kept promising Locke and thrusting the contract into his hands. “Breedmaster Augustine, if you join us at Arrow Harbor, we even have a whole program dedicated to training talent and mentoring newcomers.”

“It can be said that choosing us, Arrow Flow Harbor, is definitely worth it.”

“We at Arrow Flow Harbor are the main wizarding organization for the marine magic subcategory of the School of Life. We all belong to the School of Life, so Arrow Flow Harbor also has a Breeder Academy.”

Wizard Tux handed Locke the magic quill and the contract drawn up by the contractor. “Breedmaster Augustine, if you’re willing, you can sign the contract now. You can check the relevant benefits in the contract. I can guarantee that we at Arrow Harbor can provide all of these benefits!”

Locke pondered for a moment. He had no intention of signing the contract right now. After all, this kind of thing required careful consideration.

After the Yunze Cup, I will receive more and more teaching position invitation letters.

At that time, Witch Diana and her research team were also heading to the wizard airship docking station. She saw Wizard Tuckers and his light blue wizard robe with three simplified Gulfstream patterns on the center chest. She suddenly said, “Arrow Flow Bay Port? Isn’t that a small-to-medium-sized wizard organization in Yunze Wetlands? It only became a small-to-medium-sized organization in recent years. Although there are many students, most of them pay magic stones to attend school. It’s hard to say how much benefit it can bring to the wizard organization.”

“The number of truly important first-class wizard apprentices and second-class wizard apprentices is very small. There are not many people who can do the work, but there are many people who want to enjoy the resources.”

Witch Diana glanced at the embarrassed Wizard Turks, then said to Locke, “Anything Arrow Flow Harbor can promise you is readily available to you, Locke. Although we can provide you with a house in the Yunze Wetlands, the price of a house in the wizard settlement in the Yunze Wetlands is exorbitant, so we are only giving it to you for use. If you want to leave Arrow Flow Harbor, you will be forced to leave that house.”

“The same goes for the carriage. The [Flame Spirit Bright Horse] carriage is extremely valuable. How many carriages can you have in Arrow Harbor? If a group of wizards share it, then there are no more.”

“Just waiting in line takes a long time.”

Witch Diana looked at Locke and said, “Also, don’t believe any of these small wizard organizations’ promises that they’ll make you a wizard mentor within a few years. A legitimate wizard mentor position must be registered with the White Wizard Association.”

“Every position has its own place. A teaching position carries with it corresponding social status and resources. Even after leaving Arrow Harbor, your status as a wizard mentor will be recognized by other wizard organizations affiliated with the White Wizard Association.”

“A small wizarding organization like this can’t possibly have that many teaching positions allocated to you. So, these wizard mentors they’re talking about are only within their academy, where you enjoy the same treatment as a wizard mentor, in full or in part, and enjoy the students calling you mentors.”

Witch Diana said, “Actually, none of this is useful. That’s not a proper teaching position. You’re just a highly paid lecturer.”

“It’s of no use to you in applying for specific funding resources from the White Wizards Association.”

Wizard Tariq looked at Witch Diana awkwardly, saluted her, and said with a wry smile, “Witch Diana, why do you have to be so decisive? How can small and medium-sized wizard organizations like us survive like this?”

Wizard Tariq was no longer as excited as before when speaking to Locke. Instead, he regained his composure and said to Locke, “But our small wizard organization also has its advantages. First of all, although we are a small wizard organization, we still belong to the wizard organization of Yunze Wetland.”

“We have a policy of joint training with some larger wizarding organizations.”

“As the champion of the Yunze Cup, you have come to our academy and will enjoy all the favorable policies of Arrow Harbor. Therefore, what I promised you before may not be false promises or exaggerations as Witch Diana said.”

Wizard Tariq smiled wryly. “A talent as outstanding as Breeder Augustine would be given special training no matter where he lives.”

Witch Diana said coldly to Wizard Tariq, “You guys from Arrow Harbor are really greedy. You even dare to invite the champion of the Yunze Cup. Don’t you think you are worth anything?”

“Your university only has one second-ring wizard.”

“He’s a second-ring wizard specializing in ocean magic from the School of Life. Even so, you actually dared to invite the champion of the Yunze Cup. Even if you succeeded in inviting him, I don’t think you would be able to accept it.”

Witch Diana shook her head slightly, expressing her disapproval.

Witch Diana looked at Locke, nodded slightly, and then said to him, “Now that you are the champion of the Yunze Cup, you are very popular. You should pay more attention to learning to distinguish the level of those wizarding organizations.”

“As you are now, you need at least an invitation from the top universities and the Advanced Zhenzhi Academy in Yunze Wetland to be worthy of you.”

“After all, you are the champion, a champion who defeated me once!”

“I will take my research team back to the Moonlight Temple first.”

Witch Diana is a wizard of the Moonlight Temple. After becoming an official wizard, she also stayed in the school. The Moonlight Temple is a wizard organization with many three-ring wizards. It is one of the top schools in Yunze Wetland.

Locke nodded, and Witch Diana took her men to the boarding gate of a wizard airship.

After Witch Diana left, Locke nodded slightly to Wizard Tucker. Out of courtesy, he took the contract and invitation letter from him and said, “I will consider it carefully, Wizard Tucker.”

“Arrowstream Harbor is also a good wizarding organization, but I want to think about it for a while.”

Wizard Tucker’s dignity was saved, and a smile immediately broke out on his face. “Of course. You are the champion of the Yunze Cup, and you have the right to choose from the major wizarding organizations.”

Wizard Tux thought for a moment and said, “Master Breeder Augustine, you’d better not go any further. There are two wizard mentors from the Night Dew Gathering and the Thousand-Faced Water Snake ahead. They want to invite you, but please forgive me for being blunt.”

Wizard Tucker whispered, “Those two wizarding organizations are even more… shady than our Arrow Harbor. The promises they make are even more outrageous. For example, they’ll promise you a position as a senior wizard instructor within five years.”

“Just like what Witch Diana said just now, this kind of promise has no possibility of being fulfilled.”

“Breed Master Augustine, your current location information is being secretly sold by middlemen. A copy of your itinerary information is likely worth a thousand magic stones.”

Locke’s eyebrows jumped. “Am I that valuable?”

Wizard Turks smiled bitterly. “You’re joking. You’re the champion of the Yunze Cup.”

“Furthermore, you have a project like Hydra in your hands. I wonder how many wizarding organizations are eyeing you. The championship means resources that can be leveraged, and Hydra means actual resources in front of you. You are a young first-ring wizard with a lot of funds and projects. Since you won the championship, you are no longer a blank slate.”

“Countless wizarding organizations want to sign a contract with you in order to obtain the opportunity to apply for certain funds from the White Wizards Association.”

“So, for the wizarding organizations, you are a walking, large-scale resource that can be developed.”

Wizard Turks spoke the truth.

Locke nodded slightly, thanking him for telling him. “Thank you, Wizard Turks. There are some things I really don’t know.”

Wizard Turks smiled and said, “It’s okay. Come to think of it, I’m the one who disturbed you.”

Locke and his team chose the second path and headed to their own terminal. He saw from a distance that there were indeed several wizards standing in the place he had to pass, holding some contracts in their hands, wanting to sign a contract with him.

When Locke and his team boarded the airship, a sharp-eyed wizard spotted Locke and quickly called out, “Wait a minute, Wizard Locke, we, the Thousand-Faced Water Snakes, are a wizard organization specializing in the beast taming sub-category of the School of Summoning. Our academy has unique expertise in researching water snake-like magical pets.”

“We recently opened a new academy, the Breeder Academy, and it’s time for a capable wizard like you to join.”

“Breedmaster Augustine…wait a minute…”

Montgomery quickly called out to the airship’s central control room through a Ganoderma Lucidum plant installed on the airship’s wall, “Hurry up and take off, or I’m really afraid those wizards will rush onto the airship.”

A voice came from the Ganoderma Lucidum Magic Plant. “Okay, the airship will take off in one minute. Wizards, please be prepared.”

Locke instructed Montgomery, “Have the students enter the compression chamber quickly. When they enter the second sky, their magic pressure and mana will be in chaos.”
