"It's a mess! It's all a mess! "
Russell was so anxious that he was running around in circles. After muttering for a long time, he turned his head and yelled at Jean, who was squatting on a chair, "It's all your fault! What kind of job posting is this? The whole City of Silver is in a mess! Who is that Tang En to you? Why are you doing him such a big favor?! "
"He's not anyone to me … Oh, maybe you can say that he's my rival in love."
Russell suddenly staggered and looked at Jean with great astonishment. "Rival in love? When did you fall in love? "
Jean said sourly, "When I was young, and it can't be considered a relationship. It can only be called a crush. I'm a complete loser …"
How could he feel good when he saw Tang En surpass him and take away Aiguin, whom he and Angus couldn't conquer?
But this was the cruel reality.
"How come I've never heard you mention it?"
"Do I have to tell you everything?"
Jean rolled his eyes and said, "And I have to help him. The future of us Mages may fall on his head."
"Future? We Mages never lack for a glorious future! "
Russell scolded, "You must be trying to please him … No, please his lover!"
"Bullsh * t!"
Jean's face turned red and he scolded, "You have no idea how determined I am to do this!"
"I can't see it at all. I just feel like you're betraying the City of Silver and breaking your own rules. "
"Rules are dead, people are alive."
After saying this, Jean played with the arcane ball in front of him very dejectedly and muttered, "You have no idea what I saw at Ellington's place will have a huge impact on the world … Times have changed, Russell, you should accept this reality."
Russell shook his head and said, "No matter how times change, the power that belongs to a mage will never change. You must have been too shocked and lost your cool."
"I've always been calm. It's because I'm calm that I know what we should do."
Jean crushed the arcane ball and looked at the busy sorcerers on the street outside the window. "Open your eyes, Russell. We can't keep these sorcerers captive forever. One day, they will get tired of this life and burst out their repressed emotions. The City of Silver is just a helpless choice, and one day, this city will end its historical significance and become an ordinary city. There may be more sorcerers here, but there will also be ordinary people here."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Luo Su, do you still not understand?"
Jean looked at his friend. "Times have changed. In the future, it's the Age of Magic. It's everyone's age, not just the sorcerers' age."
Without waiting for Russell to respond, Zeon continued, "In the tide of change in this era, we still have an advantage. This is because the foundation of the Age of Magic is the popularization of magic, and we are the masters of magic. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to gain a firm foothold. Only then can we continue to lead this world in the coming new era, and not be forgotten in the corner of this era, or become a negative character that drags us down.
"You keep saying that the Age of Magic is the Age of Magic, but what exactly is the Age of Magic?"
Russell frowned. "It's just some magic hooks and props. We can easily achieve them. Why are you so scared?"
Yes, Russell could tell from Jean's expression that he was scared of something. Was it the loss of the status of a sorcerer? Or the change in the Age of Fear? Or was it just pure fear that he was about to lose his current status?
"No, you don't understand, Russell. You haven't seen the effects of those things with your own eyes. You don't know how much they changed the Irus Empire."
Jean let out a long sigh. "How about this? After this recruitment, you come with me to Ellington. Live there for a few days, and maybe you'll understand."
Russell didn't think so. No matter what Jean said, he didn't think that Ellington could achieve anything incredible.
Speaking of miracles, magic itself was the greatest miracle in the world.
Was there anything more miraculous than magic?
Impossible.
Now, Russell was having a headache because of the series of consequences caused by the recruitment. The Arcane Sky Projection was broadcasted indiscriminately. All the sorcerers in the City of Silver could hear and hear Jean's voice, so it was very influential. In just half a day, the City of Silver was completely in chaos.
All the shops on the street were closed, and the classes in the School of Secret Arts were also suspended. The sorcerers in the Tower of Stars and Moon were also excitedly discussing the recruitment. The streets and alleys were full of enthusiastic sorcerers. They racked their brains to sign up, just to become a glorious teacher of the people.
And their purpose was even simpler. They were going for the rewards announced by Jean.
The branches, fruits, leaves, and petals of the World Tree were the best materials that could only be found once in a hundred years, not to mention the extremely rare Dragon Steel, Dragon Scales, Astral Crystals, and Star Flashing Gold. Ninety-nine percent of people might not see these materials even once in their lifetime!
And now, they were lying there quietly, beckoning to them. As long as they taught diligently, won the evaluation, and won the title of Excellent Teacher of the Year, they could choose one of the materials and make it their own. Was there anything more tempting than this?
"To put it bluntly," Russell took a deep breath, "the things you said are so good that even the teachers in the School of Secret Arts are tempted. They all left their students to sign up. Aren't you afraid that they'll jump ship because of Tang En's offer?"
Helping others to advertise and destroying one's own foundation was a completely unrewarding thing!
Why would Jean do this?
"That's ridiculous."
Zeon was also stunned for a moment. The teachers at the School of Secret Arts were all knowledgeable mages. They might only be at the Gold rank, but when it came to theoretical knowledge and teaching magic, they were all top-notch experts. It was also because of this that they were treated very well in the City of Silver.
Obviously, Jean did not expect that even they were tempted.
"What do you think?!"
Russell was so anxious that he jumped. "Don't tell me you didn't think of this possibility! If those guys all ran to help that Tang En, the School of Secret Arts would become an empty shell! "
"This …"
Jean scratched his head. "I'll discuss it with Tang En … Are you going?"
"No!" “
Luo Su said angrily, "Looking at how brainwashed you are, I don't want to see that guy! He's definitely not a good person! "
"Indeed, he's not a good person!"
Jean agreed with Russell on this point. "But he's still a good person. I'll go over first."
When Jean found Tang En, he was at the Magic Engineering Research Institute studying the adaptive modification of the core of the Giant Golden Statue with Tim.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen with the recruitment? "
Tang En wiped his hands and said to Tim, "Optimize it further according to your previous ideas, and then we can make a test product for testing."
Tim nodded. "Got it."
"Let's talk outside."
Tang En motioned for Jean to follow. After leaving the lab, Jean couldn't wait to briefly describe the situation in the City of Silver to Tang En, and then said a little helplessly, "The situation seems to be a little out of control now … I probably shouldn't have helped you advertise in such a high-profile manner."
Tang En was also quite surprised. "You mean, even the magic teachers at the Star and Moon School of Secret Arts couldn't help but sign up?"
"I didn't expect that even the teachers at the School of Secret Arts couldn't stay … I obviously treated them quite well."
Jean suddenly regretted it. "But speaking of which, it's normal for them to be tempted … At least, I can't take out so many precious materials from the World Tree for them to choose from."
Tang En couldn't figure out why Jean had come to him to talk about this topic. "If you don't want them to leave, can't you just filter them out during the selection process?"
"I can't do that."
Jean shook his head. "Because the City of Silver has a rule that never restricts the personal freedom of mages — we only restrict mages from using magic. If I deliberately filter them out during the selection process, I'll be deliberately interfering with their personal choice. "
It was precisely because the rules of the City of Silver were very humane in certain aspects that the mages were willing to treat it as their home.
Once Jean began to interfere with the personal choice of mages with his will, it would be the beginning of abuse of privilege, which would have a bad influence on other mages. Over time, it would lead to an irreversible situation.
"Then what do you mean?"
"This matter still falls on your head."
Jean rubbed his hands and said, "You can come forward and refuse to accept the magic teachers at the School of Secret Arts … Didn't you say that the education method is different? You can use this reason. "
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "So you want me to be the bad guy? To be honest, I personally welcome those people very much. "
"Don't do that."
Jean was anxious. "If you poach all the senior teachers, my School of Secret Arts will really collapse!"
"Okay, okay, look at how anxious you are."
Tang En said snappily, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the teachers at the School of Secret Arts. Or rather, the education I want to do has no conflict with your school."
"What do you mean?"
"That is, what I want to popularize is elementary and intermediate education. As for the School of Secret Arts, it belongs to the category of advanced professional education."
Tang En patiently explained the relationship between elementary, middle, high, and university to him.
"That is to say, the School of Secret Arts is a university that specializes in magic? And what you want to recruit are elementary, middle, and high school teachers? "
"That's right, I don't want to poach your students."
Tang En nodded. "After my students graduate from high school, they can choose a suitable university according to their specialties and grades. The School of Star and Moon Secret Arts in the City of Silver is obviously the best choice for students with magic talent. We don't conflict."
Jean was startled and suddenly overjoyed. "I get it! That is to say, some of the students from your school can be sent to the School of Secret Arts! You're actually carrying out basic education for us and selecting suitable magic talents! "
"That's right. Through professional basic education, we can improve the knowledge and professional level of the people, explore the potential and specialties of the students, create a large number of professionals, and increase the probability of geniuses appearing by expanding the base and raising the average level of the whole society."
Tang En smiled and said, "This is the purpose of my universal education."
