Ellington, Tang En, Fiona, and the others stood in front of the square. Not long after, a flickering portal suddenly appeared in front of them. Then, the white-haired Oz walked out of the portal, followed by the mages who had passed the selection process.
Relying on the magic sources of Ellington and the City of Silver, Jean was able to teleport all these people over in one go.
"This is Ellington?"
"The houses here look so strange …"
"Oh my God!"
A mage took a deep breath and trembled in shock. "The concentration of magic here is too shocking!"
Hearing this, the other mages subconsciously sensed the magic and suddenly cried out in surprise, looking at their companions in disbelief.
Even the City of Silver couldn't reach this level of concentration of magic!
After all, the City of Silver was built with a magic source!
"According to Master Jean, Ellington also has a magic source, and the quality is better than the City of Silver's."
"At that time, I thought Master Jean was joking, but now it seems that what he said was actually true!"
"Heavens! Cultivating under this kind of magic concentration, one year can be compared to five years! "
A mage was secretly annoyed. "If I had come here earlier, I might have been able to break through the gold level and advance to the grandmaster level!"
The mages discussed animatedly. When the last mage arrived, Jean jumped out of the portal. Then, with a pale face, Jean patted the dust off his body and revealed his white teeth. "Exactly one hundred people, all here."
"Everyone, please be quiet. First of all, welcome to Ellington. I am the owner here, Tang En. This is my right-hand woman, and also the helmsman of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, Madam Fiona."
Tang En took a step forward, raised his arms, and said, "It is my great honor that all of you are willing to accept the recruitment. I believe that all of you will soon understand what a great job you have accepted."
Next, Tang En gave a long speech, mostly about the importance of the job as a teacher and the problems they would face in life. The mages in front of him looked at Tang En, and after a long time, one of them couldn't help but say, "Lord Tang En, we don't care about what you said. We don't care how good the place is, how good the food is, how convenient the things are. We just want to know if the rewards you promised are real?"
As soon as that person finished speaking, the group of mages immediately became restless, and they all stared at Tang En with shining eyes.
Yes, this was what they were most concerned about!
What were basic necessities of life! Mages were not poor. As long as they were willing to spend money, they could get any kind of comfortable life. they didn't care about those luxuries.
What really attracted them were the rare magic materials!
"… Rewards?"
Tang En smacked his lips and looked at the mage who spoke. "Good question. What is your name?"
"Domarte, Your Excellency."
The one who asked was Domarte.
This lucky guy had minored in alchemy and enchantment, so he easily qualified.
After coming to Ellington with a nervous heart, he didn't even carefully observe his surroundings. This was the instinct of a qualified mage. He even forgot his instincts, so one could imagine how much he cared about the rewards.
"Domarte, you asked a good question."
Tang En nodded, motioning for him to be at ease, and then waved at the mages below. "Everyone, follow me. Let's talk as we walk."
After saying that, Tang En turned and led them to the Magic Engineering Research Institute.
"I know that everyone is very concerned about the remuneration. Of course, I won't play any tricks in this regard. As for your remuneration, we can clearly write it in the employment contract. Of course, I know what everyone is concerned about. The precious material of the World Tree, something that every mage dreams of. "
Tang En smiled and raised his hand. He was holding a branch with fresh green leaves and flowers in his hand. "Everyone can take a look. In my hand is a branch of the World Tree. Everyone is a mage, so you should be able to feel the magic contained in it, right?"
As soon as Tang En took out the branch of the World Tree, the mages behind him instantly became excited. They were even more surprised than when they felt the concentration of magic in Ellington.
That was really a branch of the World Tree!
A treasure of the elves whose value couldn't be measured by ordinary money, and he just took it out so casually!?
The eyes of the mages immediately turned red, and they looked at Tang En's back with jealousy.
Tang En completely ignored them. He put away the branch of the World Tree, and as he walked forward, he said nonchalantly, "I have a lot of branches of the World Tree. To be honest, not only do I have branches of the World Tree, I also have other precious materials that you can't get at all. And these materials, as long as you work according to my rules and regulations, you can choose any one of them after you receive the title of Outstanding Teacher of the Year every year.
"Of course, the better the evaluation, the more priority you have to choose. The good things should be reserved for the most outstanding people. If your performance is not good enough, you can only choose the leftovers."
As soon as Tang En said this, the mages became restless.
Damn it!
So their biggest enemy was actually one of them!?
For a moment, the mages began to think. Among the people they knew in this group, who was stronger and who was more competitive? They had already started to plan a targeted competition.
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you that your evaluation is done by the students you teach, the school leaders of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the inspectors of the Irus Education Committee, and your future colleagues. The weight of the score is a secret, and the final result will be calculated after the final combination. So, it's useless for you to be wary of your peers now. Let's work together."
This plan was designed by Tang En according to the performance evaluation methods of the companies on Earth. For this purpose, he specially discussed with Aurelia to set up an Education Department. Now, there was only one Education Committee, and the members of the committee had not been decided yet.
However, his plan made the mages feel at ease. If they didn't have to compete with their peers maliciously, the pressure would be reduced a lot.
Thinking of this, the mages' blood began to boil.
Usually, they would not be able to get such precious materials in their lifetime. Now, as long as they taught those little brats some basic knowledge of magic and coaxed them to give them a good review during their annual assessment, they would have a chance to get it. How could they not be excited?
Some of the more active ones even began to think about how to win over those people to give them a good review …
"Everyone, please take a look. This is Ellington's Magic Engineering Research Institute, and also the foundation of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. We develop all kinds of magic machines here, and popularize the convenience of magic to the whole world."
Tang En pointed at the Magic Engineering Research Institute and said, "We have created the field of magic engineering, but if this field wants to develop in the long run, new blood is indispensable. And the most important thing in magic engineering is magic, or in other words, mages. Only with enough mages can magic engineering grow stronger and benefit everyone."
Tang En took the mages on a tour of the Magic Engineering Research Institute, and let them have a general understanding of the meaning and purpose of magic engineering.
When the mages with professional training saw the wild mages working in the research institute, they all smiled with a sense of superiority. They could not help but straighten their backs and show the City of Silver badge on their chests.
The City of Silver's registered mage badge was an honor that was highly sought after in the whole of Prandal. It was also a symbol of their status, proving that they had professional training, and not these wild mages.
Unfortunately, when the wild mages saw the mages with professional training, they did not show any expression of envy. They only glanced at them indifferently, bowed to Tang En, Jean, and Fiona who were leading the team, and continued with their work.
This made many people feel frustrated.
How could they understand that the wild mages that Jean had gathered for him had now become Tang En's personal team?
These wild mages had now completely taken root in Ellington, and it was unlikely that they would be driven away even if they wanted to.
Working here was easy and pleasant, and the pay was generous. The boss (Tang En) could casually give out rewards of legendary quality, and the gold coins burned for each experiment could be counted in the hundreds of thousands. All kinds of rare and expensive materials could be used freely, and if they wanted to meditate, they could use a mana source, and there were many magic books for them to read.
This was simply a mage's paradise!
Only a fool would leave!
"Heavens, heavens! Idiot! What an idiot! "
At this time, Dormatt suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing at the alchemist in the laboratory and shouting in exasperation, "How can he use the Starlight Rose like that!? He's just wasting materials! "
The Starlight Rose was a very expensive and rare magic medicine. A single Starlight Rose was worth five thousand gold coins. Its main effect was to mix potions, increase the potency of the potion, and increase the success rate of refining. But generally speaking, it was only used to refine level-5 potions. One tube of potion only needed to add a small petal, and that was enough!
But just now, that idiot directly grabbed a handful and threw it into the reactor!
This damned, stupid, unreasonable idiot!
He had wasted five to six Starlight Roses in one go!
"He's simply —"
That alchemist turned around and took out a large pot of Starlight Roses from the cabinet next to him.
Dormatt's voice came to an abrupt stop, his eyes bulging and his mouth wide open, like a suffocating toad.
That's right, a large pot.
One!
Big!
Pot!
"Oh."
Tang En smiled and said casually, "We have a lot of Starlight Roses here. We have a cooperative relationship with the elves, and the druids of the Temple of the Earth Goddess help us cultivate a large number of herbs. There's no need to use them sparingly."
Dormatt was convinced!
He was convinced!
"Also, that alchemist isn't an idiot, he's Ein —"
Fiona secretly stepped on him.
Tang En immediately understood, "— Yes, he's Master Tim, a true Master Alchemist."
Dormatt knelt down!
