As soon as this recruitment order was issued, it immediately attracted many adventurers.
First of all, the credibility of this job was very high. The official credibility of the Republic of Northwest had always been very good. Those who cooperated with it might not make a lot of money, but they would never lose money. Even if they did not make a profit, the officials of the Republic of Northwest would subsidize it with their own money. In short, they would never let their partners suffer losses.
With this premise, the adventurers were willing to believe in the sincerity of the officials of the Republic of Northwest. If it were any other country, they might not have this confidence. After all, in other countries, cases of people being killed because they "knew too much" happened from time to time.
In other words, when a country needed adventurers to do things, in most cases, it was very dangerous — in all senses of the word.
Secondly, this job paid very well. If they could improve their strength, they could also get a stable job in the Republic of Northwest. After that, they could almost be considered to have a glorious retirement. Even if they could not improve their strength, they could spend six months to a year and earn a lot of money. They could also get a suitable piece of magic equipment. It was not a loss.
Finally, and most importantly. This job allowed them to have close contact with a senior legendary master, and the time period was as long as six months to a year. If they could get the recognition of that senior master in this six months to a year, they might be able to reach the top in a single step. And that "senior" might be very old. This time, they might be recruiting people to train with the intention of finding a successor. If they could become his successor and inherit his legacy …
Well, wipe the saliva off the corner of your mouth first.
In short, the number of people signing up far exceeded Sui Xiong's expectations, so much so that he was stunned.
"… Could it be that all the middle-level adventurers in the world have come?" Looking at the heavy stacks of names in front of him, he said with some surprise, "Are there so many middle-level adventurers in the world?"
"Not only adventurers have signed up, but many non-adventurers have also signed up," the administrative officer in charge of this matter said. "There are even many aristocrats."
"… An aristocrat doesn't work hard to manage his family's territory, but comes to receive training. Is there something wrong with their brains?"
"I think it's normal for them to think this way." Hoppes Wilder, who had been temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Mines, sighed and said, "Actually, I really want to receive this special training. It's just that I'm busy with work and really can't leave."
"You? I remember that you are now the clerk of the Ministry of Mines, right? If you come here to receive special training, Johnny and Old Riff will definitely run to the temple to protest. "
Hoppes laughed and dropped the subject of training.
Ever since that joint exploration, Hoppes had caught the eye of Minister Reif of the Ministry of Mines, and he had switched from being a miner to a clerk. His education and arithmetic skills were indeed excellent, and he was good at socializing with people, so his work was progressing more smoothly. Ten years later, he had become the chief clerk of the Ministry of Mines. He was the right-hand man of the current Minister of Mines, Johnny Laiden. If there were no accidents, after Minister Johnny retired, this position would most likely be his.
If he were to receive special training at this time and become a high-level expert, he might be transferred to the frontline to lead the exploration team again. Although for the Republic of Northwest, a high-level exploration master was no worse than a Minister of Mines, for the Ministry of Mines, which was relatively short of intellectuals, if the future Minister became an exploration master, it would obviously greatly affect their work.
Sui Xiong joked that Minister Johnny and Old Minister Reif might run to the Void Temple to protest. It was not purely a joke. It might really happen.
Hoppes naturally knew this, so he did not say anything more about it.
However, he could not help but complain about his old friends in his heart.
Among his old friends, there were many who worked in the mining industry. As a member of the royal family of the Dwarf Kingdom, Dudu Hill had returned to his country after completing his studies. However, Sid Booker and Ruby Slyu had both remained in the Republic of Northwest. However, of these two old friends, one had changed his profession to become a scholar. He either spent his days in the mountains searching for mineral veins or writing articles in the study and library. He had no intention of working in the Ministry of Mines at all. The other one was working in the mining industry, but he was the instructor of the exploration team. He had strongly expressed that he had no interest in civilian work and would continue working as an instructor until he retired …
In the end, among this group of elites from the exploration team, only Hoppes became a civilian member of the Ministry of Mines.
Sigh! If they could help me share some of the work, I would be able to participate in this training!
Hoppes could be considered a promising young man. He was only about 30 years old and was in the prime age to improve his abilities. He was currently a mid-level Druid, and his ranger skills were almost at the mid-level as well. Although he could not compare to the high-level Sid Booker, Ruby Slyu, and Fira Kenji, if he could receive training, he would most likely be able to advance to the high-level.
Although he was a civilian, as the saying went, "Every mage has a heart to wield a sword and fight head-on." In fact, Hoppes also yearned for that kind of heroic life — clerical work was really too tedious and boring. He needed to refer to a number of documents and confirm all kinds of matters, big and small, as well as all kinds of situations at the grassroots level. These were all turned into stacks of information that often made him dizzy. However, he still had to memorize the gist of it. It was even more tiring than going to school.
But no matter what, someone had to do this job.
His child was about to enter primary school. In school, when his classmates talked about "my father," he hoped that his son would be proud of him.
Yes, the job of the Minister of Mines was indeed something that his son could be proud of.
… Actually, being a high-level adventurer isn't bad either …
Hoppes carefully processed the information that had been filtered and needed further processing, but he was secretly sighing in his heart.
He did not know that his inner thoughts had long been seen clearly by Sui Xiong.
Looking at Hoppes' inner thoughts, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.
A prosperous country needed people who were engaged in all kinds of jobs. There would not be a good future for those who only knew how to pursue power and be militaristic.
Perhaps to Hoppes, it was a pity that he was unable to become a high-level expert. But to the entire Republic of Northwest, the value of a competent Minister of Mines far exceeded that of a high-level master.
If one calculated carefully, the value of the leaders of a few major departments in the Republic of Northwest should be equivalent to that of a low-level legendary master.
Therefore, although he sympathized with Hoppes a little, he did not intend to help Hoppes change his position.
"Interesting young man, you should run towards the very promising goal of being the Minister of Mines! I will cheer for you ~ "
